WOL: WWE’s new version of Money in the Bank

On the Saturday Wrestling Observer Live, we discuss how WWE appears to be continuing the trend of cinematic matches with this year’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view as superstars will battle throughout the WWE corporate headquarters buildling up to the roof to claim the briefcase with a WWE title opportunity contract.

We also question this: while Vince McMahon declared the XFL bankrupt and made difficult financial decisions for the benefit of his company, is there any risk that recent corporate decisions turned off a significant number of fans or a portion of the general public?

Also, even if justified, the public could still have a negative opinion that could lead to fewer people spending money on WWE in the future. However, there is one decision WWE made years ago that makes any major public outrage seem unlikely.

Finally, we wrap up with some positive thoughts about all of the performers who were laid off or furloughed this past week.
