WWE ordering all independent contractors to give them their social media passwords

[RammerJammer]

what the fukk

WWE Superstars can be very vocal on social media. Often times their timelines look a little interesting as they can be replying to a viral video or saying something funny one moment before taking on a completely different company face the next. Kayfabe and shooting really found a mix on the IWC.

Mike Johnson stated on PW Insider Elite Audiothat WWE’s digital media department actually has all of the Superstars’ passwords. They are told not to give them out to anyone else, but the company needs access to their accounts just in case they have to send something out for the storylines.

“I do believe that WWE has the right to control [Superstar] Twitter accounts. When you sign there you are told to give your password over to the digital media department and you are told not to give your password to any one else. So it’s possible that anything that pops up there in terms of pushing storylines those have been pushed by digital media, but they wouldn’t have to fall under the TV-PG auspices.”

So if you’re ever wondering how a WWE Superstar can go from shooting on a fan to plugging the WWE Network a few minutes later that second tweet was probably sent out by a different entity.

This makes sense though considering the fact that WWE counted their 1 billion social media followers using all of their Superstars’ social media followings as well.

maybe if WWE hired their workers as company employees then they would at least have a legit reason (they would own the character profile, etc.), but these workers are independent contractors.

can you imagine the general contractor building your house asking for the social media passwords for the plumbers, painters, and other independent contractors that he hires to do work on the house? do you realize just how absurd that shyt is?

Corporate WWE is out of control if this report is indeed true and it is lawsuit worthy if ANY worker receives punishment for not giving in to them. this is infringing on their civil liberties.

This is some cult, one of us, one of us shyt

Normally there are workplace laws against this which are supposed to protect employees from this kind of overreach. I guess this is why they classifies them as independent contractors. fukked up.

They need to get that wrestlers union going.

Surprises me that they don't have two twitter accounts: one for being in character and one out of it
