Dolph Ziggler Speaks About WWE’s Independent Contractor System With Andrew Yang: “It’s A Gray Area”
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler recently interviewed with former Presidential nominee Andrew Yang on his Yang Speaks program to discuss WWE’s independent contract system. This was done a couple weeks after Yang publicly calling out WWE on Twitter for their third-party restrictions of talent, calling it a “ridiculous classification” and “corrupt labor practices.” Ziggler would go on to break down the “gray areas” of a WWE contract, but overall agrees with Yang regarding the original points he made.

 
  
 

It’s a gray area. For ten years, I’ve gone back-and-forth like, ‘how does this make sense?’ But I see some points. As much as I’d like to stick it to the man, there are some points that they make. I am representing that company when I do a comedy show or go on FOX News. Long-term, when it comes to me getting, say, a deal with Muscle Milk. I did that, theoretically, it is because of WWE and someone knows me, possibly. If they want to do a deal like, ‘Hey, we’ll give you a couple $100 bucks and all the Muscle Milk you can drink,’ Well, WWE behind the scenes could be working on a $5 million deal with Muscle Milk and I just ruined it. So there’s a little bit of both sides we have to understand. You’re still working for a brand, for the most part, as long as it’s not bad-mouthing the company and a couple of other things, you get more leeway and the paperwork is there to protect them, whether you think it’s fair or not. You ask and sometimes you get told, ‘It wouldn’t be great for the company, but you make your own decision.’ It took me 12 years of doing things and being sent to other countries on a PR tour to get them to trust me to do something else. I get both sides, but also when it comes to independent contractors, we should be able to do whatever we want and wear what we want as long as we’re there on Monday to do the match, I get that.
