But see that’s the thing. There are legit alternatives for them.
Like ok the big money guys that probably won’t leave the E cuz they making the big Money. Maybe not as many options for them.... though I do feel like a few companies would ante up and break them off if it came down to it.
But outside of them 9-14 guys out of all 400 wrestlers between their 5 different brands.
There are lots of options and not to mention so many ways they can flex it.
I think the best deals right now are the ones where you can work for 2 or more companies. Cuz they making great money between 2 companies and probably still working a smaller schedule then what they killing themselves for in the E.
Also they doing pretty good for their own personal brand, so it comes out a WIN WIN WIN.
I get you and don’t really disagree but once again it’s all about the context of what I was saying. My original comment was talking about those big names (1-8 guys using your example) that would actually make a difference skipping Mania last minute. There’s no alternative (ala WCW when it was major) that they could dip out to and still make bank.
I legit don’t know many of the guys today but if whomever is at the level that Angle, Jericho, Kane etc. was in 98-2003 gave Vince the right before Mania over pay it would be the biggest news in wrestling in the last few years whereas those minor guys (9-14 or lower) who may not even make the card doing the same thing wouldn’t cause as many waves.
