7 Reasons Why Pro Wrestling Needs A Union Right Now

4. A Unionized Wrestling Industry Allows For A Higher Standard Of Excellence For The Wrestlers Themselves

There was once a time in the world where if you wanted to be a wood-worker, being trained by a member of the wood-working guild was the only way that one could feasibly become a well-paid and highly-respected wood-worker. Now imagine in 2015 if the only way that one could become a professional wrestler was to find a trainer that worked within a unionized system of wrestlers who had it in their best interest to protect the industry and train those who would be athletic, intellectually savvy and/or charismatic enough to appear and excel in the promotions that were working with the union. Eventually, gone would be the days of cut-rate trainers oftentimes training cut-rate talent who a) deserved better or b) likely end up being black eyes on the industry overall.If the talent themselves advocated for a union, and said union were to plug in with top-tier companies who could afford to cover the benefits the union would require before talent would appear, then both wrestlers and promoters alike would want to perpetuate an industry where wrestlers who were properly prepared for the rigors of a leveled-up industry were at-will employed.
