for context the question was in regards to them being forced to work even if they're injured

and Alexa answered by saying [paraphrasing] anything happens to us in the ring, we are taken care of by the WWE [using her concussion as an example] she's never felt pressured to wrestle while injured.

I'm actually going to engage this.

It's not about them not forcing you to do stuff, or them taking care of you. It's the principle of the matter. You are an employee for a company that doesn't use language that indicates that you are an employee of said company. This company demands exclusivity for their talents but then doesn't give them the benefits that would come with working exclusively for a company. Defend that, I don't care, but you are not going to be able to wrestle forever and unless you put your money up good and have a second life/career after wrestling, there ain't no pension for you. There ain't no 40!K as far as I know. fukk, the NFL takes better care of their players than the WWF does after they are done. You're shilling for a company that cares for you only as long as you are a viable commodity to them (and truthfully, that's every company that operates in this trash ass country) and will not hesitate to throw you in the trash the minute someone younger, prettier and can suck dikk much better than you comes along. fukk outta here son.

of course she'd go to bat for the company - even she has to know that she's a product of their system and would in no way be where she is in any other company, even with equal marketshare. She's beloved by people in power for no discernable reason - why would a favored child say anything? And even were that not the case, she has to dance to their music because she has no other market inside the industry. Someone with no marked wrestling ability and whose only appeal is being small, partially plastic and making faces can't be expected to say anything real on this situation :unimpressed:
