I think Seth is most likely to lose. I think they'll all win though. This may be the exception to the rule.

If one of those is going to lose, I can see it being Kofi. Yes, his buildup has been phenomenal, but I can easily imagine Vince pulling the rug out from under him AGAIN (maybe extending the feud to Summerslam?).

D-Bry is over enough that the crowd isn't likely to turn on him...even if the audience does give off major heat, they can always be reeled in by a victorious Becky to close the night.

Yeah, I agree with Seth being the most likely of the three to lose. I'm 50/50 on who's going to win that match -- isn't Lesnar advertised for the Saudi event? With the women's match being the main event, it might take off quite a bit of the heat of Lesnar winning since that match isn't closing out the show.

That said, I can also see them doing something where they have the Shield (with one final WrestleMania moment together) knock out Lesnar to get "the architect" of the stable the gold.

WWE is returning to Madison Square Garden in September for an episode of Raw and SmackDown. Nice. MSG always has a unique feel for shows.

Its about time, they've always done house shows but they gave up on tv. It took ROH and New Japan doing a PPV there for them to actually televise the damn thing.

Their really should be an annual PPV there in truth (the atmosphere at MSG is far better than Brooklyn, at least that's the way it comes across on TV).

I had no idea Main Event was still a thing.

What the hell happened to Tyler Breezey

It's so bizarre to read the conversation around this John Oliver thing, as a Canadian. I can't imagine having to depend on an employer (**** Vince McMahon of all people) for health insurance.

Just get a single payer system already, you idiots. Love ya.

Watched it live. Not much many wrestling fans didn't know, especially about Vince being an ****, but I'm glad it's out there. My friend says it's the same with Dana White and the UFC.

There's the video, great stuff. On point. Well said.

I don't agree with piling all wrestler deaths on Vince. But everything else was pretty spot on in the LWT piece, especially the main point about independent contractors.

I love Vince, man. He is truly an ****. The weirdest, most interesting **** that has ever existed.

Pretty brutal takedown from Oliver.

And can’t say it’s not deserved.

Seriously though, it shouldn't be left to Vince McMahon to provide health insurance for wrestlers.

Its about damn time someone called out Vince on his carny bs. The independent contract is bs, with the 90 day no compete clause despite getting no benefits.

Funny WWE's propoganda machine also responded, saying he was wrong, without pointing to anything to refute the point. I sincerely hope that some class action lawsuit comes good against them (since this last one didn't) because if their is one thing that stands true, the McMahon's care for one thing above all and that is the McMahon's, sure they have their favourite employees but most of the workers don't mean a thing to them and neither does their welfare, they're in the business of only good PR.

Seriously though it should be an industry standard for all big promotions to provide for their employees in terms of health insurance (especially the WWE).

I mean, WWE is a billion dollar company that employs professional athletes who put their bodies on the line every night they perform.

If that's not a company that should be providing healthcare for its employees, who the f*ck is?

Pretty sure he was implying that universal healthcare should be free, like it is in Canada. But the US doesn't care enough about their people to provide that. The US only cares about money money money. The people don't matter.
