Shane McMahon was interviewed by TMZ shorty after the conclusion of the Elimination Chamber pay per view last Sunday. The 50-year old promoter and wrestler answered questions regarding UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell, and gives quick thoughts on how Coronavirus will affect the wrestling business. Check out highlights below.
*NOTE: AS MENTIONED ABOVE THIS WAS FILMED LAST SUNDAY, PRIOR TO THE SHUTDOWN OF THE NBA, MLB, XFL, NHL, AND THE U.S. DECLARING CORONAVIRUS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
On bringing Chuck Liddell into WWE:
I know Chuck very well. All he has to do is give me a ring. Of course I’ll do that with Chuck. It’d be awesome.
Thoughts on Coronavirus shutting events down and how it will affect WWE:
We’ll have to see. People can gather around and obviously it’s sanitary and people can have a good time then great. If everybody shuts it down then everyone’s is in the same boat. So we’ll see what happens. Hopefully not because everybody wants to have a good time.

— WWE announced last night that this year’s WrestleMania 36 will be broadcast over two days and it seems like that it is not the only change from past years. According to sources, WWE will also be using multiple locations along with the expected Performance Center and all of these locations will be “closed set” with only those individuals needed present.
— PWInsider confirms this report and also adds possible other locations as: WWE’s officials in Stamford and FOX or Universal’s sound stages. The multiple locations would allow WWE to pre-tape segments or even matches and having closed sets at each location would likely drastically cut down on the chances of any significant spoilers leaking. Finally, having the segments taped in more than place will also make it easier for the company to abide by protocols of having a maximum amount of people in a given space as they are taking the CDC’s social distancing rules very seriously.

UPDATE: WWE has confirmed the PPV will air from multiple locations: “WrestleMania will not only take place at WWE’s training facility but will include multiple locations over two nights.”

With the triathlon calendar currently empty, why not bring the triathlon to you? Well, that’s what 220 Triathlon’s features editor Matt Baird will be doing today, for he’s undertaking a middle-distance triathlon in his back garden in aid of the NHS.
Advertisement
Matt will start his recreation of the Outlaw Half/Ironman 70.3 Staffs/Slateman Legend, etc, at 1.30pm and plans to spend 50minutes swimming in his 2.6 metre long, waist-height paddling pool (luckily he’s only 5ft 6in, at a push).
He’ll then hit the turbo, planning to cover the 90km in 3.5hrs on Zwift. At around 6pm he’ll start running his 13.1 miles/21km the length of his garden (some 1,400 times) in around 2hrs. The plan is to finish at 8pm with a new middle-distance PB to coincide with the Thursday night round of applause for NHS staff.
Here is a link to his just giving page where you can donate money to the NHS: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/matthew-baird220

We will be following Matt and posting progress updates throughout the afternoon or you can follow him on Twitter @mattbairdtri

On Easter Saturday Ironman World Champ Jan Frodeno will complete an Ironman-distance triathlon at his home in Spain, a country that has been hit hard by coronavirus.
Advertisement
He will be swimming the 3.8km in his in-home pool, which is equipped with a counter-current system. Then Jan will get onto his roller trainer for the 180 km bike course, before running the marathon on his treadmill.
You can accompany Jan and his “tri at home” online and even have the opportunity to take a virtual ride along with him as he completes the bike course.
You can even win a day training with the famous champ and bid in auctions that will be raising money for projects in Germany and Spain.
“I’m always training for an Ironman taking place somewhere, but since there won’t be any taking place in the foreseeable future, I’m now organising one for myself at home,” says Frodeno.
“We already thought of this idea a few weeks ago when things slowly started taking shape here in Spain and it became clear that the situation was really getting serious. In the beginning it was actually just a crackpot idea, with me thinking: ‘If I can’t do my race, I’ll just do it at home.’ Then we thought more about how and why we should actually do this: It’s certainly not about showing off. I just want to attract attention in order to raise money. I want to use this event to support those who are currently doing the competition in the hospitals day in and day out.
“The best way to support me is to help the named charities through donations or to participate in our auctions so that we can raise as much money as possible together. If you want to accompany me live, you can do so using the stream we will be offering. Those who have the ‘Zwift’ training platform at home can also accompany me virtually and help me to quickly reach my goal – with the time and speed of the event not having highest priority for a change.

“On www.viprize.org/Frodeno, we will hold raffles for products and ‘money can’t buy’ events, and the proceeds will also be included in the big basket of donations.

“Mercedes-Benz is announcing my project on all its channels and offers interesting prizes at the auction.”

Showing readers that it is possible to still train and ‘race’ within lockdown, the ‘race’ started with a 50-minute swim with his legs tethered to his 2.6m paddling pool, before a bottom-numbing 90km turbo bike leg with Zwift, which took 3:30hrs. The half-marathon run involved 1,400 lengths of Matt’s garden, with his children manning the aid station and neighbours cheering over the fence as Talking Heads’ ‘Road to Nowhere’ played on repeat.

Matt finished the run in 2:10hrs and broke the toilet roll tape in a total time of 6:40hrs. Here’s how the ‘triathlon’ unfolded…

— Alistair Brownlee (@AliBrownleetri) April 15, 2020
The sessions are to be hosted on Airbnb and the 10 participants will virtually meet up in his home training lab where he says on the Airbnb website: “I will show you my setup and we’ll warm up together over group introductions, where we’ll learn about each other’s favourite rides, tours, courses, and neighbourhoods! Over the next 40 minutes, I’ll take you on a journey that weaves my life story and lessons learned from sport through five of my favourite rides around the world, with each being its own marquee triathlon venue. We’ll stop in Yorkshire, London, Leeds, Rio, and Kona.
“At each virtual stop, I’ll take 5-10 minutes to share some photos from my experience, talk logistics like what makes each course challenging, and then have a 3- to 5-minute interval training for the specifics of the course, before a rest and time for questions. You’ll get an inside feel for my strategies that led to success at each destination.”

Endurance athlete and BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin has announced today that she will be taking on an a very special challenge this week – riding 100 miles on Zwift in ‘The Big Bike In’ for charity. Plus, she’s looking for 220 readers to join her and a host of special guests!
Advertisement
The ride this Thursday, 23rd April at 5pm, will be to raise much-needed funds for BBC Children In Need and Comic Relief to support local charities and projects in the UK, so they can provide essential support to people who really need it through the coronavirus crisis.
Challenge Louise
Louise Minchin is no stranger to big challenges. Over the last few years she has transformed herself from beginner to full-on endurance triathlete, completing some of triathlon’s toughest races including Patagonman and Norseman and inspiring people to take up the sport through her book Dare To Tri.

If you join The Big Bike In you can ride for as long or as short a distance as you like. Join Louise for the full 100 miles – a full six laps of the Road To Ruins course – or just for a few minutes. It’s a fun ride, so you can either stay with Louise or go at your own pace. There will be a planned break at 8pm BST to join in the Clap for Carers or have a breather!

Special Guests
Special guests along the way have been confirmed including Jodie Stimpson, Laura Siddall, and Louise’s BBC Breakfast co-presenter Dan Walker (who Louise tells us ‘has only ever been on a bike for 20 minutes before!’). Other names will be announced throughout the week with some big surprises to come.
