I don't understand why million-dollar earners would need a union in the first place. The same goes for all professional sports, as well as actors, musicians, etc.

Jesse doesn’t have time to bleed. Get him a feminine hygiene device.

“I don’t understand why million-dollar earners would need a union in the first place”

I’ll start off by stating I’m no fan of unions by any stretch but to try to answer your question, not all wrestlers are million dollar earners just like not all nfl players are.

We all know wrestling is entertainment and not really a competition but to do the things they do requires top level athleticism, which makes for a increased chance of injury.

A union could provide help in that circumstance.

Jesse Ventura is a worthless so and so who deserted his country and moved to Mexico while suing a dead war hero’s widow. He needs to go back to Mexico and STFU!

Old story. Ventura wanted medical coverage for the wrestlers. McMahon refused.

And then the company became a billion dollar company and produced millionaire stars. Sounds like Vince made a sound decision.

Well now we know why Ventura came out for Harris—just another way of trying to get back at Hogan.

Ventura is an asshat. He sued Navy SEAL Kris Kyle’s widow for damages, claiming that Kyle had made false statements about him in his biography, despite the fact that Kyle never even mentioned Ventura’s name when describing the incident in the book. A jury initially awarded Ventura a large monetary sum, but Kyle’s estate appealed, and the monetary award was thrown out by the 8th Circuit Court.

As I recall, the poor-man's-Superstar-Billy-Graham quit the WWF/E in the 90s because of blood clots in his lungs from his time as a Navy Seal. He also quit because he wasn't paid for the Sega Genesis game featuring his likeness. He also quit because he didn't collect royalties from the WWF event video tapes.

Did I leave anything out, wrestling fans? lol
