Kevin Nash Calls For Unionization In Wrestling, ‘Go Through SAG’
Kevin Nash talks about unions in wrestling.
Unionization in wrestling has always been a topic of discussion, and has popped up again after reports of TKO asking WWE talent to take pay cuts and restructure their contracts.
On the latest episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash weighed in on the topic.
“This could be one of those times where this whole 1099 thing finally just… you know, it’s not. Bring the folders out. Bring them all out. 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.”
Elsewhere during the podcast, Nash gave his thoughts on TKO getting involved in WWE creative. You can find his comments here.
