"Hunter and Benoit were really close, I even remember when Hunter bought him a shotgun as a gift. Benoit had some issues with the medical staff though. He complained of headaches and they always told him to take it up with Vince"- CM Punk

You'll never see a union in wrestling. It's a pipe dream at best, delusions at worst, and the reason is because when one of the best talents in its history left with an injury being neglected as one of the causes, the rest of the talent responded with the equivalent of "you're dying? WE'RE DYING TOO BUT WE DON'T FUCKING COMPLAIN"

Didn't Ventura try and get something going before Hogan snitched?
Steph. But that doesn't even compare to the MVP of slaps.
Not even close
Honestly with the carnie mentality they aren't gonna do it.
Only way WWE wrestlers have a union is if contracts are not guaranteed.
Good bye half of the older roster.
There are 3 big reasons why they need a union.
- Medical concerns for care during employment and post employment.
- Network Revenue
- Standards for Merch revenue. Guys getting buried for Cena helps raise his merch appeal. They do just as much work as he does to earn that.
But a union CAN NOT EVER be involved in booking or creative. The product is stale now because they try to protect everyone.

Vince and HHH would just wrestle 3 hour draws every Monday, torn quads and all
Countless racial segments he's been involved (and probably had written).
Calling a team of Japanese women in the 80's the "Jumping Bomb Angels".

Naw, being anti-union is American as fuck.
Vince re-branded the industry as sports entertainment to avoid paying taxes.
Right now with the exception of their management they structure everyone as an independent contractor who is responsible for their own health coverage.
The Hirohito promo actually making it to air has to be an honorable mention.

They don't have the talent to create a character anymore.
Its why they are investing so much in Reigns.

I'm still trying to parse this one. Racist? Reverse racist? Self-hating racist? Or just insane?

Good list. Don't forget the time when DX went to NYC. It featured HHH and Road Dogg making fun of cab drivers' accents and Japanese tourists' accents.

Am I the only one that has trouble wrapping my head around "taking risks". I always hear it when vince or other big names talk about to get over or how to move up.
What are examples of risks wrestlers took? I'm genuinely asking. I always assumed there was a script and directions that you had to follow and if you just decided to do your own thing you'd probably get shit canned. Or does the entire notion of taking risks have to do with the way you deliver the script, but then I always assumed vince/creative tell you how to deliver it.
Or do they mean take risks behind the scenes like telling creative to fuck off. But that can't be true because vince said you better not piss anybody off.
Guys, is this all a sham?

Alright that was pretty good in my opinion. When is Lucha underground on?
Tuned in to TNA for the first time in probably a month and a half.
And I'm back out.

In defense of Vince, that sounds like the name of a Japanese anime about female archangles that are sent down from heaven to save earth using their massive tits.

The Steph slap when she said "You're my b*tch"? That one was hands down better. Runner up:
Going to ask Vince for anything is a risk..he will either listen or put you on the fast lane to the unemployment line.
