good deal for Ziggler. with the exception of a few moments, WWE has booked him terribly for the last 3 years. so if he's getting more money and can do the outside projects he wants to do (without WWE sticking their nose in everything) then good for him.
* on a side note - isn't it sad that it's news that an independent contractor now has the "approval" to do outside projects? that's how it should be anyways (within reason of course).
WWE hires these wrestlers as independent contractors in order to skip out on dealing with health insurance, 401k, and other benefits. Yet they expect the wrestlers to be 100% committed to WWE and only WWE along with wanting to micro-manage and control every single aspect of their outside projects as if they hired them as company employees. it's absurd really.
