Long term booking, do you think it will work?

A mandatory off-season for wrestlers should be something they look at, going along with what you said about the touring schedule.

You want your characters to be larger than life, they shouldn't be crammed into coach for a 17 hour flight.

Having an offseason is a great idea, but for whatever reason WWE seems to be against it. It would allow the wrestlers to enjoy time off and rest up from injury. Plus, it might allow the creative team to come up with better ideas and not become burned out. With the touring schedule WWE has, utilizing an offseason should be common sense. I realize taking time off hurts the bottom line in the short term, but the long term benefits far outweights the bad.

Yet another good point raised is the "independent contractor" label. Everyone knows it's BS, and it's only a way for WWE to control their employees while shafting them. Nothing more than a clever way to avoid having a union in pro wrestling. Otherwise, they'd have to provide more benefits, take better care of wrestlers' health and not use unethical practices. Again, something that would affect WWE's massive profits and be too benefical to the wrestlers. A real "indepent contractor" can pick and choose when and where they work. When was the last time a WWE guy got to do that? Really it's a joke even having that status and it's not very accurate.

Both things that would detract from long term booking, but issues that need to be addressed. You can't ignore things that could make the business better. If it means less wrestler deaths and a more positive reflection on the WWE, you'd think it would be a natural progression. And definately one that's necessary and long past due.
