I've seen it used as a reason for why Rusev was given shit to work with for ages. Oh absolutely. Wasn't it reported CM Punk had heat for dating Maria because she was a 'WWE Diva' and he was 'just' an OVW/ECW wrestler at that point. It's utterly daft but absolutely something WWE would do.

She's been doing paid promotions for an energy drink on Instagram, presumably not arranged by WWE. It's been reported that was what led to the new rules.

stewdogg Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I can see Vince’s point that he wants to have control of let’s say the Big E character, he references things like Disney etc I assume he’s suggesting they are exploiting say the Iron Man character for their profit which is understandable. I mean you wouldn’t see Robert Downey Jr doing cameos as Tony Stark. I don’t see he’d have a leg to stand on if Ettore Ewen makes Cameos as himself, not referencing the Big E character. Just because you look like the character you play doesn’t mean you are that character in real life.  Be interesting what’s in a contract between independent contractors and a multi billion dollar company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 The Fiend isn’t wanking for tips on Twitch, these are contractors using their own names so that statement makes no sense. At this point WWE needs to decide whether it wants its talent to be contractors or employees. If the latter, making these requests is fine, but at least cover healthcare, 401k etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakashi Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Considering how hated they are, the biggest baby face turn they could do is just make these guys employees. They have so much money it’s insane. They’ve been mr burns levels of evil for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted September 5, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 5, 2020 They're not all using their own names all the time, to be fair. Apollo Crews is on Cameo under that (entirely WWE-used) name, just as one example. Big E uses that name on Cameo but there's a possible legal wrinkle there in that he's apparently been known as that since high school. Presumably he's signed it over to WWE for certain uses and perhaps the right lawyer could make the right argument that this isn't one of them, if it were to come to that (which I very much doubt it will).
