Kevin Nash urges WWE stars to unionize and entrepreneur Andrew Yang issues a response

While speaking on his podcast, Kevin Nash urged WWE stars to unionize and join SAG-AFTRA following the news of TKO (parent company of WWE) asking wrestlers to take pay cuts. Here is what Nash stated…

“You can’t have it both ways. You can’t play Endeavor at the top with the 300% increases and 1099 the dock workers… If they’re going to play by those rules, let the boys play by the same rules.”

“Go through Screen Actors Guild. They’ll be more than happy to take their cut of your money. It won’t be 50%, but it’ll change the ball game. Take one of the programs that’s written down and you tell me that that program isn’t more heavily written and more produced than Curb Your Enthusiasm was when all those actors got SAG paid.” (quotes courtesy of Cultaholic.com)

Entrepreneur and former United States presidential candidate Andrew Yang addressed Nash’s comments…

“Nash is right – WWE wrestlers participate in highly-rated scripted programming every week. They should be SAG-AFTRA members already.”
