I can't speak for Rob, but I think he meant they'd leave due to the overall picture, with this type of thing contributing to the situation.
Yeah that's pretty much it. Guys are miserable in the WWE locker room right now. If TNA could afford to pay guys what they are worth and had good prime time TV, there would be a rush of wrestlers looking to get out of their WWE deals.

No. YOU are wrong. They are independent contractors. They have absolutely no health benefits, sick pay, pensions or paid holiday. You can believe what you like dude but I have heard hundreds of interviews confirming my arguement as well as talked with 3 wrestlers (one of which was a former WWF tag and IC champ and another who worked there) who confirm it.
