I'm not sure of a union per se, but there needs to be something that protects independent wrestlers and promotions alike. There are too many wrestlers who consider themselves to be above smaller promotions, take a booking and then no show, hurting the independent promotion in the process.
I know Bret's been saying for sometime that there needs to be a Wrestler's union. If he wants one so bad, he should be the one to make a difference and start the ball rolling. I can see the benefits from it for a wrestler. If they make regular contributions into a union, if they are injured, there could be options to cover pay, mortgages, etc. Yes this could be bled dry by some guys, but that's when you get independent doctors and phsicians to sign off on an injury.
Obviously, guys on guaranteed contracts...the top guys, etc. wouldn't ever need to join a union. So what if Vince doesn't recognise it. If enough independents joined a union, one day, there would come a time that he wanted a guy signed up to a union, and in a "never say never" business like this, Vince would swallow his pride.
