I’m actually keen for this what NXT uk are doing, it’ll mean indie shows will have to book other talent instead of the same few guys over and over again, there’s loving loads of us in the UK right now and this just opens up opportunities.

SAG would probably be the closest thing to what a wrestler union would look like. Though SAG obviously has a lot more money coming in, unless WWE wrestlers joined this wrestling union, that allows it to help support people who are getting work in the industry but are not at a level where they can survive on it.

How much does a person need to act in a year to become a SAG member? Indie promoters should just shoot short films with all of the talent on a card so everyone can get some health insurance already. There's gotta be some weird carny way the wrestling promoters who care about the health and well-being of wrestlers can figure this out, right?

3 days of work on a SAG production or a member of one of the smaller actors unions for a year. 3000 dollar initiation fee. It also means that after that you can no longer work non-union productions.

Isn't SAG membership one of the reasons John Morrison takes acting jobs?

Terry Funk used to make a point of heading off every so often to do an acting job regardless of the quality because it kept his SAG membership open which basically covered all of his MANY, MANY, MANY surgeries.

If we can’t get a wrestler union, we should at least get a promotion rating system going. Maybe separate metrics for fans and wrestlers. Would be interesting to see where the divide is.

Aye, people said this about the US indie scene too and it seemed like the only people waiting for opportunities were a 50-year-old man, what appears to be a small child, and David Arquette.

I have 0 interest in anything WWE related other than Becky talking maximum amount of poo poo.

I only want 3/4 of the 3hw feud, mainly because not-Ronda and not-Shayne are both still green as hell and shouldn't get to the main roster for at least another year.

Green is probably being generous. Dave talked about their match they had at the NXT house show he attended and...yeah he couldn't think of anything nice to say about it (and he was one of their bigger advocates). Apparently it got to the point of where the crowd hijacked the match. :v:

Combine that with the fact that both of them looked completely lost for the most part at War Games, and I am starting to think they were put on TV way too early. Or they just don't have the aptitude for wrestling.

The scoops have mentioned jessica being impressive in her training, while Mary is getting slower and worse every day, somehow, and they are getting pretty scared about it. The wwe doctor said this. "It's about time to start pretty much getting scared"

There's a really easy case to make that wrestlers belong either in SAG or the stunt people's union. Especially since WWE keeps calling their show "weekly episodic television" and giving wrestlers scripts to read.

Meltzer keeps saying Jessamyn at least is a lot better than most people who've trained for five months so the "oh maybe they'll just never be any good and will always suck" thing feels like unnecessary doomsaying. It's definitely still too early to put them on TV but five months is not a very long time.

I mean, Scotland in particular is a hotbed of unaffiliated top talent, so we’d be able to fill a lot of gaps in the English indies

like, say, the Kings of Catch and the New Age Kliq in particular are two tag teams who I haven’t seen much of on TV, and they’d slot in perfectly in the midcard of, idk, a random RevPro show

maybe that’s just my biases showing tho, idk

Eh. I'll give them a bit more time, but they are still far from ready to be on TV. And they'll likely be getting thrown into matches with Io, Kairi and Dakota over the next few weeks or months. And if they continue to struggle after that, I'm probably going to write them off. Because if Io, Kairi, and Dakota can't drag a good match out of you, then you are probably in trouble.

As for Marina, I feel one area she needs to improve in outside of her wrestling is getting actual ring gear. Her current stuff is really loving bad. I think its just an oversized tanktop with khakis. But she is definitely the weakest of the MMA 4HW right now by a long shot. I could see Jessamyn becoming passable to somewhat decent in the ring, but I can't say the same for Marina right now. Especially if her match two weeks ago is where she is at after 4-6 months of working with some of the top in ring female talent for NXT.

Either way once the MMA 4HW vs WWE 4HW feud is wrapped up, I don't see a very high ceiling for Marina or Jessamyn to be honest. I can see Shayna finding a decent amount of success on the main roster, and Ronda is already finding success. But I cannot say the same for the other half of the MMA 4HW.

I guess the Kliq was more like a trade union where it just replicates the structures it is fighting against and will gently caress over the workers once they reach a certain level of authority for their own gain. (ie HHH)
