Paul Lazenby, Steve Austin’s stuntman, was recently a guest on WINCLY. During the interview, he discussed whether he thinks wrestlers should receive the same benefits as stuntmen. Here is what he had to say:

There is good and bad about belonging to a union. There are things about our union I would like to see changed but there are also ways in which I’ve benefited greatly from it.

People need to be protected and especially fighters need to be protected as it’s a very exploiting industry. I want the Ali Act to be brought into MMA because MMA is what boxing used to be where the fighters are treated like livestock while the guys in the suits are making all the money but shedding none of the blood. The sooner we can get some sort of union in MMA and all combat sports the better as far as I’m concerned.
