I'm wondering how the independent contractor thing would stand in court considering Vince pulls these moves as if they are his employees

I know Vince got money but Rock should do a solid and form a coalition for a lawsuit

Vince treats most of these guys like an old school pimp. No medical/health/life benefits, pay for your on travel/lodging, work the stroll for 250 nights a week, and you can't work for anybody else. For a few, the pay is well worth it, but that shyt sounds :scusthov: for the vast majority of guys on the roster.

He has done multiple personal appearances outside the WWE. The issue isnt that, but the AEW connection.

Smh, Taker a grown ass man being treated like a personal ho.
No he hasn't. He has never done 1 that has not been WWE booked, ever.

Im referring to small appearances he's made throughout the years (non-wrestling) where he went by his real name. Of course they were most likely approved by WWE before being finalized.

Those type of appearances are easy to find with a google search breh... As a former Taker mark, I know this for a fact, lol.

This type of appearance is clearly not like the others (big pay, larger audience, wrestling related and the AEW connection).

Does taker even have a contract? Seems like he works on a handshake.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
I remember Jesse Ventura tried to form a union until ya boy HOEgan snitched to Vince :mjpls:

But but but but according to Sly, Hogan was just protecting his spot and unions would've hurt the industry. :bryan:

Jesse will never be what Hogan meant for wrestling and Ventura has been telling this story for decades

Hogan was probably protecting his spot cuz he was the top guy

Union would have put wwe out of business a while ago...if you complained about new talent not being pushed a union would have made it worse

No Trump appointee would rule against WWE, so any prospective litigant would be best served to wait out this administration

Why? The undertaker wasn’t even at mania this year why is he so concerned with him. This was done just so AEW doesn’t get any shine from them and that’s unnecessary since everyone always says they will never take wwe out. So what’s Vince hating for

Why?? Let these present day athletes stand on their own . Cody and the Bucks did. These guys aren’t kids. Let them take a stand. They should do a real walkout. 5 minutes before a TV taping they should walkout. No show house shows, they are paid and could pool their money and get top representation. They need agents and lawyers to negotiate for them. Not the damn Rock to help them.
