According to Dave Melzer of the Wrestling Observer, Vince McMahon was the “inspiring general” yesterday for grieving wrestlers and staff for the entire day. McMahon held it together and was leaned upon by many for support. As you can imagine there were a lot of emotions to deal with and many within the company are having a very difficult time dealing with what has happened.

McMahon decided to go forward for the SmackDown and ECW tapings tonight, but they will run with no angles or backstage storylines. The original plans for this week’s shows have been scrapped and will feature nothing more than straight wrestling matches. It has been extremely hard for WWE Creative to put anything together as the crew and staff were said to be both emotionally and physically a wreck yesterday afternoon.

Apparently WWE will brief viewers on what happened in the beginning of each show and will produce two very low key shows that will feature talent wrestling.
