Mid carders are trying to form a union

[So UnThotful]

* There are many talents in WWE right now that feel it would be in WWE’s best interest to take care of the mid-card talents who are very frustrated, especially with Linda McMahon’s ongoing senate run. As noted earlier, there is a large group (20+ talents) who are seriously considering trying to start a union if things don’t change. There are enough guys right now who would be willing to do so, but the issue is they just need a top talent “leader”, such as a Rock, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio etc. who would stick up for them and push management to fairly compensate them. All three of the guys just mentioned have “gone to bat” for talents in the past and are very open to getting a union in place.

* As noted yesterday here on the website, A.W. was fired Friday from WWE due to two major points: first, and most obvious, was his tasteless and very non-PG Kobe Bryant reference/joke on RAW recently. The second, and equally as integral in the company’s decision to fire him, was not as obvious and involved the tweet regarding Linda McMahon.

* WWE releasing talent over travel and pay issues obviously isn’t going to look good for Linda McMahon and her senate run, especially if WWE continues to announce the releases on WWE.com and then have talents lash out on social media sites on the real reason they were fired and why they’re so pissed off with the company right now. Obviously, $500 bonuses for overseas tours isn’t going to keep guys happy. These are all-time lows as we’ve been reporting. A $500 bonus check is also ridiculously low considering WWE is making millions per overseas shows which usually have sold out houses and large merchandise sales.

* The moral of the story is that if they continue to fire mid-card guys, it’ll reflect badly on Linda McMahon’s “job creator” senate campaign. Also, if her opponents hear about how their talents are being treated these days, they’re going to run with it and blast her non-stop. This is also part of the reason mid-card talents are speaking out right now.

* Two guys that are really frustrated right now are Santino Marella and Zack Ryder. Santino has a lot of money saved and also has a full grown teenage daughter. Lots of guys have money saved but they love their job and would rather not lash out and “play it smart”. They simply want to be paid fairly. As noted earlier, more talents may come out on social media in the coming weeks unless things change. These guys love what they do and would rather stay with the company but they can only take so much before finally taking a stand.

* One source told us: “Loving what you do and being manipulated for what you do are two different things.”

* As previously noted, agents/producers get everything paid for (private flights, limos to the arena, hotels, etc.) while mid-card guys and Divas sit in coach, rent their cars and pay for hotels and food.

* Many guys were applauding AW’s tweet on Linda McMahon, where he stated: “Creates jobs my ass!! I’m fired thanks to you and your campaign.” Many feel the exact same way.

We can confirm that Santino Marella, Yoshi Tatsu, Jack Swagger, Zack Ryder, Natalya, Tyler Reks, Curt Hawkins and numerous Divas are just a few of the names who are frustrated. Again, they all want to speak out but are “being smart about it.”

" they just need a top talent “leader”, such as a Rock, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio etc."

Not gonna happen

 

[Premeditated]

good luck. y'all are fukked.

If the midcard wants to make noise they should just walk out at 8pm on a Monday night.

good luck. y'all are fukked.

Them November Deavors comin' right up

 

[g-ice]

We going to be hearing that future endeavors catch phrase a lot these next couple of months if these midcarders pop shyt.

 

[jackswstd]

They must think they are irreplaceable. I'm on their side on this but plenty of green muthafukkers in development that would fill their roles.

 

[The Push Man]

I would have thought Punk would be a shoo-in for this kind of thing.

Believe it or not these midcarders hold a LOT of power in the PG age. Vince don't want a scandal right now wether Linda is campaigning or not. If a few of these guys go the AW route and continually bash the company or even further, write a tell all book, those investors and share holders will flip their shyt. Vince don't want that right now. But let's see if they can get a huge star on their side. Punk is such a rebel right?

Punk is just like the same peeps he did that worked shoot on. He doesn't give a fukk about a midcard, but if the E never let him cut that promo last year we'd still be hearing youtube interviews about how they never gave Luke Gallows a fair shot, Colt Cabana being an underrated talent and all that other shyt.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

THE OLD GUARD WILL SIMPLY CALL THEM WEAKLINGS WHO DON'T WANT TO PAY THEIR DUES, BROTHER! HAITCH WILL REGALE THEM WITH HIS LEGENDS OF DRIVING EIGHT HOURS THROUGH MANITOBA JUST TO GET PAID A HOT DOG AND A HANDSHAKE, DUDE! THEN HE WILL FIRE THEM FOR NOT GETTING OVER ON SUPERSTARS AND WEBSHOWS, BROTHER!

 

[Thebadguy]

JTG started a movement. He's like the WWE version of Martin Luther King. Probably have the same outcome too.

 

[Hoss]

This is the kind of thing that will expose Punk for the fraud that he is.

My personal opinion is that if you don't like the way your employer treats you, you should leave and get a job somewhere else. But if Punk is truly the kind of guy he likes everyone to think he is, he'll take on the role of leader of this movement.

But will he? No, he won't.

 

[Black Thunder]

how the fukk is santino mad??

that nikkas gets paid for 3 mins of work, pulls a fukking sock out and hits somebody with it and has the us title

if he wanted to really fukk with wwe, he'd do like honky tonk man and threaten to leave with the us belt to tna
