It was a 'no holds barred' kind of attack from HBO's John Oliver on the WWE.
"Vince McMahon has always had this mentality about treating wrestlers like circus animals," said John Oliver. "Bret "The Hitman" Hart, whose brother Owen died wrestling for WWE, said. "There are all these wrestlers who have broke their backs making this living for years, end up with nothing when it's over and then they sort of take you out back, put a slug in the back of your head and dump you out ... That's the life of a professional wrestler."
As he demonstrated in a 20 minute segment, Oliver went after the WWE for labeling their performers “independent contractors” who sometimes have to resort to crowdsourcing to pay medical bills.
In a preview of his upcoming WRESTLEMANIA PREVIEW PODCAST, to be released later this week, The Fan's Troy Hughes spoke with former WWE Superstar and 'Money In The Bank' winner Ken Anderson, AKA Mr. Kennedy, to get his take on Oliver's comments.
