Hey Sean. If the UFC event at the White House is successful, do you see WWE following them to do their own even at the White House?

I don't. Clearly WWE does not mind ties to the current administration, but I can't convey how different the general audience of WWE and UFC are. Anyone who has covered both can tell you, that is something that flies with a UFC audience a lot more than the modern day WWE audience. I don't think that will be a thing that happens, but then again a lot of things tied to this administration and WWE are things I didn't expect to happen.

How does getting a visa works for wrestlers? Is it the responsibility of the wrestlers or the company?

It is acquired with the aid of the wrestling companies, and many times the talent are at the mercy of wrestling companies. There are some talent that have been iced and sat around for months while their visas get squared away. If a talent is released, they have a bit of a grace period to figure out their visa situation, but many end up having to return home to where they lived prior.

Best wrestler with the worst finishing move in your opinion? Mine is Bandido lol

I also don't like the setup for Bandido's move. Bayley has gotta be the one for me. Bad setup, doesn't look great, and the Rose Plant just doesn't feel like a finisher. Meanwhile, she's one of the best performers WWE has had, and she's never quite had a top notch finishing move. I want her to find something SUPER COOL.
