This ain't gonna be an L.

What will end up happen is talent will get checks like spotify has been giving musicians. Cents on the dollar unless you are a guy who has been featured in scores of WWE network content that is streamed frequently. Obviously someone like Hogan may see 7 figures come their way, but someone like Bagwell may end up getting a check for 23 cents.

And a check that small will prevent other bums from filing a suit since the legal fees won't cover it.

Because WWE purchased the company/contracts. If all you had to do was "go out of business" to not have to honor your past contracts and pay your bills, companies would just re-organize under new entities every few months. That's what bankruptcy is for...

But they only very few contracts not all, as most people had contracts with Time Warner not WCW?

Buff Bagwell was one of the people they brought over right away though, so they might have purchased his.
