In relation to the money the WWE generates,it isn't absurd at all

Ventura also ended up fighting for his own name and IP, and I believe owns a royalty stake in all his footage involving him.
Which is why WWE didn't show his footage or have him on for years, it was only after he became Governor that they changed their tune.

IT'S BERNIE SANDERS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
Actors have a union. Stunt performers have a union.
You quoted me out of context to prove what?
this article and thread does not compare the WWE to SAG...it compares the WWE to the UFC. The proposals in here and comparisons are to real sports.
The WWE is not going to Unionize like the NFLPA or anything of the sort.
It would more closely resemble SAG but I still doubt it ever happens

UFC doesn't have a union either, and it only mentions the UFC to say that perhaps both orgs should unionize given their ever-increasing revenues and TV deals. The article's mainly comparing it to the league based mainstream sports.
WWE is different from UFC in that, in the UFC athletes fight once or twice a year (some thrice) + varying degrees of media commitments like interviews/pressers. Whereas WWE wrestlers have to come to work multiples days a week, year-round, and put their body on the line, constant travel, and then media commitments on top of that. They practically have a year-long season and definitely need a union given how frequent they perform and prone to injury or sickness they are.
