When you sign a "exclusivity" contract, you are no longer (or at least shouldn't be) considered an "independent contractor."

My wife goes through the same thing with her job with the U.S. Post Office. The reason it's still the way it is is that noone can afford to fight the govenrnment in court.

Probably the same way Vince gets away with it.

You're right, they shouldn't be, but they are. I can't think of what it was, but there was a huge thread about this awhile back. Basically, by calling them independent contractors, Vince can avoid having to give them certain things, and I think there are tax repercussions too...

I think the initial thread was about Scott Levy trying to sue them...

there's been like 90 of those threads.

But thanks for reminding me about the lulz of the "Raven's a genius, of course he'll win!" shit everyone was trumpeting in that thread.

That's not entirely true. And the "entirely" part is how WWE gets around it.
