Territorial Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I never understood wanting to get fired. Just quit. Unless you can't quit, then by all means develop a Matt Hardy gut & blowup in the ring after the first lockup. Well, at least in Canada, you don't get severance pay or social assistance if you quit, if you get fired/laid off, that's a different matter. Same here. However, WWE wrestlers are technically "independent contractors", they aren't eligible to receive unemployment benefits. Are wrestlers still paid while they're under the 90 day no-complete clause? That might be a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I thought I read in an interview with an ex-WWE wrestler (can't remember who) said that you could still be working for them for up to 3 months AFTER they initially notified you that you were being released. Which doesn't make any sense to me really, but I don't know. Anyway, Troll Ryback is the greatest thing, and I support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I thought I read in an interview with an ex-WWE wrestler (can't remember who) said that you could still be working for them for up to 3 months AFTER they initially notified you that you were being released. Which doesn't make any sense to me really, but I don't know. That's why it's called "giving notice" or "being given notice", depending who initiates it. Either side has that window in the contract to tell you you're wrapping up. It's more of a territory holdover to allow them to wrap up angles and put people over on the way out.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Isn't that essentially the 90 day no compete clause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a difference? KC James said on Cabana's podcast that he was actually able to get Unemployment Insurance from WWE. Because the state he lived in (I think Kentucky?) said he wasn't an Independent Contractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzk Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 With the WWE network going on I'm wondering if it will be feasible to have an indy wrestling Spotify kind of deal. You pay a monthly fee and you can access a lot of indie shows and the companies get their share in accordance to the % of plays their shows get. I would love to subscribe to that but I don't know if there would be too many decent companies involved. Hopefully it would be such a great deal that people would subscribe to it instead of torrenting everything and that could be beneficial to all parts.
