Drew McIntyre has signed with Paradigm for representation in all areas, Variety has learned exclusively. He continues to be represented by attorney Brad Small at Fox Rothschild

So what's the link (if there is one) with this agency then because this is another person from WWE who has signed with them

I don't think there is any bc Endeavor itself is a talent agency and the talent aren't signing with them.

It's possible Endeavor wants them to be represented by an agency so that's why we've seen these stories so much lately, but maybe it's some kind of conflict of interest to have them sign with theirs.

Otherwise it's just these certain wrestlers being smart I think

Yeah I guess. I just noticed a few now had signed with this specific one so thought there might be more to it.

yeah I'm willing to bet Endeavor doesn't want the talent signing with their own agency as it is 100% a conflict of interest.

Or better yet the talent wouldn't want to. Same company repping both sides of a contract is a good way for the contract to be shit for one side, and that side will always be the talent.

Yeah like how could you trust them to give you the best deal lmao there's a scene in the most recent season of Clarkson's farm where he goes to negotiate buying some livestock and the guy the meets him is his lawyer guy bc the other farmer uses him too. He's like "I realize this is a slight conflict of interest" and then makes an offer says it's great, goes to the other side of the fence and says "nah that's shit you can't take that" lmao

I mean I'm sure WWE would love it if they could represent and pay the wrestlers as the parent company but yeah that would be like the NHL owning the NHLPA lol

edit: and the player agents
