Free WOR: WWE financials, interviews with Jon Fitch & Ilima-Lei Macfarlane

Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back with a free show. 

We open up the episode with a discussion on WWE financials and the popularity of the product. Dave goes over all the key numbers. We then talk about Luke Harper and where he stands currently in WWE.

Then we cut to two interviews that Dave did earlier in the afternoon at the Bellator press event. First, he interviews Jon Fitch, who talks about his early career, his diet and training regimen, fighting at an older age, his book, taking steroids, the class action lawsuit against the UFC, and his upcoming title fight against Rory MacDonald.

Dave then interviews Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, who also has a title fight on Saturday. She talks about fighting in Hawaii, her walkout video, presentation in general, fighting home and away from home, and how she became an MMA fighter.
