No my friend, you are wrong. Legally, they are employees.
An independent contractor is a person who contracts to do something for another, but whose physical conduct in the performance of the undertaking is not subject to the other's control or right of control.
I know this, because we just went over it in Business Law. Basically what that is saying is that legally an independent contract does not have a set schedule and can do his/her job their own way, and in their own time.
Being that WWE wrestlers are told to be at the arena by a certain time, when their match is scheduled, what they can and cannot do during a match, and a whole host of other controls put on them, they cannot legally be defined as independent contractors. They are simply employees.
Being that they don't have health benifits and what not, suggest they should get a union because they are getting royally screwed by this deal.
