In the past, the titular host of
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver has taken great delight while tearing into WWE for its relationship with Saudi Arabia and during last night's episode, he once again decided to single the wrestling juggernaut out.
This time, it was because WWE and Vince McMahon do not provide health insurance for the wrestlers who are on the road all year round. To be fair, Oliver started by praising wrestling before pointing out the lack of benefits performers receive and Oliver even mentioned how many of them have died young.
He went on to encourage fans to make their voice heard on the issue and this is something that has been pointed out by performers for a long time now.
While it's highly unlikely WWE will do anything about this for the time being, it does seem wrong that wrestlers are left without any sort of help from a company that earns billions of dollars a year. What are your thoughts on the matter?
