Ryan Nemeth filed lawsuit against AEW, Tony Khan, and CM Punk

[Chris]

People always bring up the Sunglass Hut thing even though it's basically a different company by this point

The IWC way lol

Pretty sure TNA pays good rates but you probably can't live off of it alone unless you're a top star just bc you're only working 2-3 days a month but they're adding a little more with the live Impacts now

I mean the Jake Something is legit someone who wrestles for TNA now and is raising a gofundme as we speak

 

[Chris]

And for that matter I don't even know if Ryan Nemeth's PPA deal with AEW would even be considered as enough to make a living, only if he was booked every week but there was no guarantee he would nor should he have expected to, he didn't have a guaranteed contract whatsoever so that's another thing that hurts the case.

Doesn't mean shit either, stop weaponizing wrestlers getting hurt for tribalism unless you actually donate and then I'll shut up bc that's actually help

I'm sorry what the fuck is this post?

 

[Roy Mustang]

It's not tribalism to criticize TNA for not paying for a wrestlers injuries especially when we are discussing what wrestlers are paid.

Edit: And for the record I have donated (shouldn't have to because TNA should be covering it)

I think we're all forgetting that he didn't get injured on a TNA show

That doesn't make it any better. Wouldn't be an excuse if it happened in AEW or WWE, it shouldn't be here.

It started with Chris Bey which was gross alone when people didn't have their facts straight, then it became a bigger thing when Meltzer wouldn't shut up about TNA promoting his gofundme on screen when he had no idea how much they had already done. Yeah fuck them for getting any help they can for a wrestler that almost died. TNA is becoming impossible to have real conversations about too with their WWE partnership

OK 1: Where did I mention Chris Bey? Find one post where I mentioned him. 2: Yeah that one is different to the Jake Something one because that gofundme is for his day to day and not stuff that TNA should cover (which they did. Credit to them for the Chris Bey stuff).

Why are we acting like TNA is a million dollar company though, maybe they can ask Nick Khan to pay it but American healthcare without insurance is literally too much for a company that size to handle for every surgery. Maybe if wrestlers weren't independent contractors and could have actual health insurance through their companies which not one single wrestling company does then we wouldn't have these problems though

You didn't, I'm saying this narrative really started ramping up after Chris bey and that's why I find it gross that it's continuing and seems like it won't go anyway anytime soon unless hopefully we just have no injuries

TNA is not some small indy. The rest goes into some whole other debate but the fact that wrestlers have to rely on people donating to a gofundme if they get injured on the indies when hired by a major company (albeit the 3rd biggest)? Yeah I'm going to say TNA doesn't pay massively or at least less than AEW or WWE pay.

I haven't mentioned Chris Bey once nor does that have anything to do with this one so why you acting like I did? TNA should be covering talents injuries which they did with Chris Bey hence why I didn't mention him. I can think TNA did nothing wrong and actually went out of their way to help Chris Bey whilst thinking they should be helping Jake Something.

It's not tribalism to criticize TNA.

 

[Chris]

I never said you mentioned Chris Bey once and if I'm acting like it I apologize lmao but I don't feel like I am. I only brought it up bc that was the first time I saw this "TNA doesn't take care of their wrestlers" discourse come up recently and now I'm seeing it come up all the time. I don't like that, I don't know how else to explain this.

Yes, each situation is different, if you think I'm trying to say you feel the same as Chris Bey bc I mentioned Chris Bey, then this is a misunderstanding. I can type it in all caps if you want but for emphasis not anger in case others are getting that idea bout you. I KNOW YOU DIDNT SAY ANYTNING ABOUT CHRIS BEY, THAT WAS ME TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT. And my fault for that.

I still very much disagree on TNA being responsible for covering the full cost of every surgery wrestlers might need without either a healthcare or wrestling industry overhaul (bc of the independent contractor thing) in this country, I think it's all case by case and shouldn't be an all or nothing thing. The gap between 2 and 3 wrestling companies in America is extremely wide despite what a section of the IWC that hates AEW tries to say. The only companies I'd expect to cover all medical expenses of talent is WWE, AEW, NJPW, and CMLL, bc I don't think TNA is there yet. And if you do that's fine, apologies for going straight to the tribal thing, but it still feels in poor taste to me using a fresh injury like that as a gotcha to a TNA fan, butt maybe that's a me problem. You weren't making unreasonable points
