WOL: WWE MITB preview, UFC finances, why the UWF failed

On the Saturday Wrestling Observer Live, we hit on several topics on a suddenly busy weekend in wrestling and MMA:

  • We preview Sunday’s WWE Money in the Bank event, potential surprises in the various ladder matches, and the role The Hacker might play on Sunday.
  • Jacare Souza is off tonight’s UFC 249 after he and two cornermen tested positive for coronavirus. I talk about some of the financial pressures facing UFC’s parent company that are the driving force behind running three events in eight days.
  • I answer some questions about Herb Abrams’ UWF and some reasons why I think it failed that weren’t discussed in this past weekend’s Dark Side of the Ring episode.
  • Finally, I have a caller who is a very casual wrestling fan who just saw someone dive off of a cage onto an opponent who was laying on a stack of tables. He has a lot of questions, so we talk about pro wrestling injuries and the real risks involved.
