Mid carders are trying to form a union

[Grifter]

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

Not gonna happen

Rock is around now every couple of months, jericho could give a fukk less and Rey keeps getting hurt or suspended.

Spoiler

they could get Cena

 

[SuikodenII]

Punk needs to do this for all the shyt he talks

Cena would be the nail in the coffin and force the 'E's hand...

There are a lot of aspects of how talent are treated/organized in pro wrestling that should be changed. If some of these guys are smart enough to utilize the mainstream attention on WWE right now with Linda's campaign, more power to them. I hope it works in their favor and they can additional pay or, even better, get rid of this "independent contractor" status and receive appropriate benefits and retirement packages.

And show up at 8PM on a Thursday night.

you and i both know they might as well vanish off this planet aint no one gonna see them on thursday night

 

[FaTaL]

no stars no chance

also if there was a rival organization maybe it could work with some stars but the wwe is a monopoly

there fuked, no way it works

 

[FaTaL]

I doubt Taker would say anything... he's been there 22 years and is likely living comfortably as one of the most paid and best taken care of guys in the whole company. Just don't see him giving a shyt one way or the other. Not that it's even his responsibility to- but if he hasn't said anything for all this time, why would he do it now?

Also some of the older ones like a Taker or Rey might actually be opposed to it. In their minds they may look at it like, they didn't have one when they were coming up and had to do what they had to do and make due, why should Jack Swagger or Yoshi Tatsu have it easy...

a union almost happened in the 80s but hogan fuked it up

this union crap wont work without the stars, the mid carders are replaceable

 

[Busby]

I mean shyt..it took the mid-carders long enough to get pissed off...

I remember a former writer said that Stephanie McMahon said to focus on the main eventers...don't worry about anybody else...

but real shyt..it would be some shyt if all the mid-carders just literally walked out on Raw...

 

[blackwaterpark]

russo's back, this storyline was in wcw with buff bagwell:

WCW: Buff Bagwell is an Unprofessional Ass; Jeff Jarrett Returns - YouTube

fukk bagwell for making my boy La parka look like shyt in the process.

 

[R=G]

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

LOL

And this whole thing sounds like something that Punk would take a stand for since he likes to call them out on future endeavors and all of that shyt. But of course...he only started spouting that off before he got the MAJOR main event push past Money in the Bank last year. Hasn't really talked like that since his money increased. Now he just feuds with Chris Brown and says slick shyt...

 

[Carl Tethers]

They are fukked regardless but they could have the GOAT moment if they walk out on Vince just before RAW starts.

All that would happen would be Cripple H turning up at the start of the show to do a promo burying them, then wrestle a mop for the rest of the RAW whilst El Punko wears his jacket and does commentary. And we would all still watch.

 

[TheBigBopper]

They legally can't form a recognized union. They're not employees.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

They legally can't form a recognized union. They're not employees.

That's true too they're independent contractors. Which is bullshyt because they don't actually choose when they work and run on a schedule. They are also salaried. Anyone working a hourly job is more of an IC than these guys are.

You guys think David Otunga will take the case?

 

[captaincharisma]

for those mentioning cm punk, he has no say or pull here...vince don't care about cm punk

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

for those mentioning cm punk, he has no say or pull here...vince don't care about cm punk

He obviously cares about merch sales or he wouldn't have resigned him. That being said, Punk ain't giving up his new cushy job for these guys.

 

[Slystallion]

I'm conflicted...I know a union could potentially make the product worse and force wwe to have to keep shytty talent and then we may go periods where we go months without wwe because of a strike...

But Vince takes advantage of these guys like zac Ryder and there is no real competition to check wwe...like WCW where they could always negotiate with wcw offers in mind.

Me personally I feel the best way to negotiate is with Vince man to man and simply tell them why your fed up..Vince will respect that I'd have to see what their salaries and the cost of their hotels are to see how much they are getting screwed...
