As reported yesterday, WrestleCon was forced to cancel their convention which was set to take place during WrestleMania 36 in Tampa Bay due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Marriott landed WrestleCon with a whopping bill of approximately $114,202 for the cancellation. This caused a lot of backlash from all corners of the pro-wrestling community given the circumstances. 

The Marriot has now reported dropped the bill and all issues have been resolved.

5:46pm update. Thanks to Marriott Westshore for agreeing to honor the Force Majeure clause and not holding either our guests or WC responsible for the liquidated damages. The Emergency Declaration by Gov DeSantis to cancel events over the next 30 days was a major factor.

We'd also like to thank the NY Yankees and Steinbrenner Field for agreeing today to return our rental payment, in full, due to circumstances. They are an outstanding organization and if we are able to return to Tampa in the future, they will be our first phone call.

And although they specifically mentioned that the social media campaign led by @IAmJericho had absolutely nothing to do with their decision making process, we appreciate both Chris and our Twitter audience for having our back... now back to issuing refunds...
