BrigadierSensible posted:I don't know anything about US labour laws, so forgive me if these are stupid questions: one of the many super carny things about the WWE is that the wrestlers are """independent contractors""" meaning the company can get away with not treating them as employees. this probably would never hold up in court, but part of the fun thing about the american legal system is that corporations have enough money to freeze out and bankrupt the sort of people who would sue the corporations for unfair/illegal treatment with that in mind it's reportedly (and was highly likely anyway) that the fired wrestlers aren't getting anything from the company now that they've been let go, including insurance

What is the point of signing a contract with a downside guarantee if you can’t leave, but your employer can fire you for any reason and not pay out the remainder of your contract? I understand a mutual agreement to release someone where they can work elsewhere. But it doesn’t seem to make sense if these are truly cost cutting measures. Unless they’ve exceeded their downside already and they just have no plans to use them?

Is Kushida really going to be gone? It seems understandable yet....dissappointing on a lot of levels. Based on twitter, I think MJ Jenkins is also gone from NXT.

Especially at a time when they need it the most. How does it affect the non US citizens', (again Lance Storm, but also Rusev and Drake Maverick), visa and work permits? quote:Do the fired wrestlers still get a cut of merch sales? I.E. if one wanted to help, would buying a butttone of Rusev Day T-Shirts give Miroslav Barnyashev some extra cash, or would WWE take it all/the lions share? quote:And this question is particularly stupid, but I'll ask it anyway. Given that the writer who was fired said she is proud of her work on the Otis/Mandy/Dolph storyline, does she get residuals if they keep that storyline going forward? (Non pandemic firing question: Do the writers get residuals when they show clips from storylines they have written on "best of" style DVD releases? I know Lance Storm says he used to keep getting WWE checks because he is in a segment on one of the Best of Raw videos.)

So, real talk, Dan Ryckert's job is to run a few podcasts and maybe a bit of the bump? it super sounds like he'd be safe since New Day will stay safe and side remote content is super valuable right now.

WWE doesn't need to do this to be viable. This is nothing but increasing shareholder value to win brownie points. So if you look at that way, absolutely no one except for maybe 50 people are safe (including backstage personnel and on screen talent).

I know Sarah Logan is kinda booty but I'm surprised they let any women go besides Maria. They can't even do a women's royal rumble without 10 nostalgia acts returning or being like "Coming out at #24 its.... Betty Sue from Antarctica! She's been in WWE developmental since... this morning" I notice Tamina isn't on the official list, was her being released a fake rumor? I feel bad for any performer, male or especially female, who got released before frickin Tamina. Blaise330 fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Apr 16, 2020 |

I still like Crazy Mary Dobson and think she has more to offer than what WWE has let her. In hindsight it shouldn't be surprising that her main roster run was a dud.
