A Wrestler’s Union?

I can think of a couple of differences which I'd place as more important.

The first is the talent pool. I mean, few people in wrestling are truly unreplacable, and those are the guys who are least likely to want or need a union. Lower tier guys, the ones who most need a union, are the ones most readily replaced, and there's a LOT of people who would love to be on WWE or even TNA TV.

Second is exactly what Raven sued over. The classification of wrestlers as contractors makes it a lot harder to nail someone like Vince for Union Busting.

Third, and this may be most important of all, a union will air a lot of dirty laundry. The problem being, this will hurt a lot of the wrestlers more than the company. It's not in the best interest of a lot of wrestlers to address the elephants in the room.
