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.
