'John Oliver and Vince McMahon (Getty)  \"Last Week Tonight\" tackled the alleged disastrous health of WWE performers and alums, as well as the company talents\' lack of health insurance.  \"Wrestlers dying early is a troubling trend,\" host John Oliver said, citing a 2014 FiveThirtyEight study of wrestler death rates. Oliver placed the blame on WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon and the contracts the company has with its talent.  “While the character Vince is an a—hole, it’s important to know that the real Vince is also an a—hole,” Oliver said. “Many fans legitimately hate him. While the WWE has made him a billionaire, many wrestlers say he’s treated him terribly.”  WWE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP: WHAT TO KNOW  Oliver pointed out that WWE wrestlers are considered independent contractors, despite being held in exclusive contracts to only perform for McMahon\'s company. He then played several accounts from former wrestlers denouncing the WWE and McMahon\'s treatment of their talent.

You can\'t work for nobody else,\" Ventura said. \"They tell you when and where you\'ll work, they tell you who you\'ll work, they totally control your life, yet they call you an independent contractor. How has the government let them get away with that for 30, 40 years?\"  PRO WRESTLERS COME AND GONE  Video CM Punk said on the \"Art of Wrestling\" podcast in November 2014 that he got a concussion and a WWE doctor \"was leaning on me, going, \'Do you have a concussion or can you leave for Europe?\' kind of thing.\" He also said that when he was vomiting and dry heaving before matches, WWE doctors gave him Z-Packs (antibiotic azithromycin), which led him to defecate himself during an episode of \"Smackdown\" in December 2013.  WHY WRESTLERS DIE SO YOUNG  McMahon and the WWE reportedly do not provide health insurance for wrestlers outside of injuries that occur in the ring.  In a 2003 episode of HBO\'s \"Real Sports,\" McMahon denied any responsibility for the untimely deaths of wrestlers who\'d work for him, saying, \"I would accept no responsibility whatsoever for their untimely deaths.\" He then made a face at the interviewer and slammed his papers.
