love to know where all this information comes from. zack ryder is pretty much the only guy u could say shows he is frustrated.
Midcard Talent not happy Report
Just to recap, here are some exclusive bullet points on the current backstage frustration among mid-card talents in WWE. We're going to be posting plenty more in the coming days on what's going down backstage and what these guys plan to do about it if WWE doesn't take action immediately.
* There are many talents in WWE right now that feel it would be in WWE's best interest to take care of the mid-card talents who are very frustrated, especially with Linda McMahon's ongoing senate run. As noted earlier, there is a large group (20+ talents) who are seriously considering trying to start a union if things don't change. There are enough guys right now who would be willing to do so, but the issue is they just need a top talent "leader", such as a Rock, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio etc. who would stick up for them and push management to fairly compensate them. All three of the guys just mentioned have "gone to bat" for talents in the past and are very open to getting a union in place.
* As noted yesterday here on the website, A.W. was fired Friday from WWE due to two major points: first, and most obvious, was his tasteless and very non-PG Kobe Bryant reference/joke on RAW recently. The second, and equally as integral in the company's decision to fire him, was not as obvious and involved the tweet regarding Linda McMahon.
* WWE releasing talent over travel and pay issues obviously isn't going to look good for Linda McMahon and her senate run, especially if WWE continues to announce the releases on WWE.com and then have talents lash out on social media sites on the real reason they were fired and why they're so pissed off with the company right now. Obviously, $500 bonuses for overseas tours isn't going to keep guys happy. These are all-time lows as we've been reporting. A $500 bonus check is also ridiculously low considering WWE is making millions per overseas shows which usually have sold out houses and large merchandise sales.
* The moral of the story is that if they continue to fire mid-card guys, it'll reflect badly on Linda McMahon's "job creator" senate campaign. Also, if her opponents hear about how their talents are being treated these days, they're going to run with it and blast her non-stop. This is also part of the reason mid-card talents are speaking out right now.
* Two guys that are really frustrated right now are Santino Marella and Zack Ryder. Santino has a lot of money saved and also has a full grown teenage daughter. Lots of guys have money saved but they love their job and would rather not lash out and "play it smart". They simply want to be paid fairly. As noted earlier, more talents may come out on social media in the coming weeks unless things change. These guys love what they do and would rather stay with the company but they can only take so much before finally taking a stand.
* One source told us: "Loving what you do and being manipulated for what you do are two different things."
* As previously noted, agents/producers get everything paid for (private flights, limos to the arena, hotels, etc.) while mid-card guys and Divas sit in coach, rent their cars and pay for hotels and food.
* Many guys were applauding AW's tweet on Linda McMahon, where he stated: "Creates jobs my ass!! I'm fired thanks to you and your campaign." Many feel the exact same way.
* We can confirm that Santino Marella, Yoshi Tatsu, Jack Swagger, Zack Ryder, Tyler Reks, Curt Hawkins and numerous Divas are just a few of the names who are frustrated. Again, they all want to speak out but are "being smart about it."
Once again, we have numerous exclusive reports forthcoming on what is expected to happen over the next few weeks and what the company has to do about it to avoid things getting even worse than they currently are. Stay tuned to the site for that.

Lol @ conjecture. The only true part of this article was that AW was fired.
edit: What happened to the old days, where people fought for success? Is this truly the Internet Age, where mid carders bitch about Rocky main eventing Wrestlemania instead of trying to better themselves/using politics to push others down? Still better then whining.

How much of Zack Ryder's frustration is true and how much of it is a work? Booking wise, Ryder is a jobber because a real push would kill his underdog appeal, but he still sells as much merchandise as the main eventers, and brings money into the WWE's YouTube channel through his webshow.
Damn. a lot of information. For people dis crediting this, it's super hard to make all this shit up.
But the list of people their are some untalented guys. Swagger? The most untalented guy and needs to be fired asap. I assume Hawkins and Reks are in this, again, two clowns that have no business being in the company.

Couldn't care less about any of these guys listed, I just hope the guys with real potential shut the fuck up and kiss ass, we don't need any burials or firings of people who could actually be something.
Didn't know the WWE were such asshole.
I'm sure that the WWE is going to explode just like the WCW.All we need is a good company like the WWF (and don't talk about the TNA,they are correct but not very good )

It's easier to create conjecture then get this amount of precise information from leaks in the WWE. Also here's where I knew it was fake:Damn. a lot of information. For people dis crediting this, it's super hard to make all this shit up.

This is impossible.Santino has a lot of money saved and also has a full grown teenage daughter
Well, this report is about treating your workers fairly, and not pushes, but in response to your post, those old days never happened and most of the roster has no opportunity to get better. Look at the few people who have been allowed time, they've gotten better. It all starts with giving guys a chance. The mid card is completely justified in being pissed with the terrible job management is doing if this report is even true. WWE treats its workers like shit, especially considering how much business the whole roster brings in. It's a team effort, and WWE isn't treating it as such.Lol @ conjecture. The only true part of this article was that AW was fired.

Midcard? As far as I'm concerned, there is no midcard. There is only some random bin of wrestlers who creative doesn't give a shit about that will sometimes insert them into random matches - like Money in the Bank with no actual hope of succeeding. Was there any actual doubt that Dolph Ziggler was going to lose? He was the most credible guy there, and even he was/is just a main event level jobber.Those old days never happened and most of the roster has no opportunity to get better. Look at the few people who have been allowed to get over. It all starts with giving guys a chance. The mid card is completely justified in being pissed with the terrible job management is doing. If this stuff is even true.
WWE seems rather black and white with it's wrestlers, the only grey area is newcomers like Damien Sandow, Ryback, and Anthony Cesaro. I damn well bet Damien Sandow could be dumped into the 'midcard' in favor for three-way WWE Championship feud, and I don't even hate the guy. WWE Creative just strikes me as bipolar with who they are pushing, and if they aren't holding a belt, or otherwise a major draw, then they aren't going to go anywhere.
All in all, if this is true, I can't say I fucking blame them for being upset. Everyone should be treated fairly in the business, and again if this proves true, Linda McMahon is probably going to lose the election.
thats true bro. santinos got a pretty old daughter. that was the reason jim cornette slapped him was cus he had his daughter with him or somit.It's easier to create conjecture then get this amount of precise information from leaks in the WWE. Also here's where I knew it was fake:
This is impossible.
fake news site. all they do is copy/paste from this forum and pwinsider. fake.
Santino has been pushed a lot, doesn't he have the title..jeez
How can Santino have a full grown daughter? What does that even mean, that she's 18? Isn't Santino only 33?
Linda never had a shot of winning a senate seat anyway. God help us all if she did.
Why you have a problem with Jack Swagger?Damn. a lot of information. For people dis crediting this, it's super hard to make all this shit up.
But the list of people their are some untalented guys. Swagger? The most untalented guy and needs to be fired asap. I assume Hawkins and Reks are in this, again, two clowns that have no business being in the company.
Just because he is a jobber and you don't like how he looks or sounds? The guy is talented in the ring. That's why Jim Ross signed him with the company. It's WWE's fault for making Swagger look like a loser. John Cena has become so stale that I can't bare to see the company overuse him any longer. Swagger is one of those new guys that are still fresh and have not been fully used. I prefer him over the PG-era John Cena any day.
The pay difference between wrestlers must be huge.
I read somewhere Cena makes 25mil a year.
And I'm sure guys like Orton, Mysterio, Cm Punk make over a million, and guys Guys like ADR and Cara prolly in the hundreds of thousands cuz of the mexico thing.

I assume they all have non-compete clauses in their contracts, other-wise I'd say TNA should consider making some kind of move.
I can't even blame them for not being happy. WWE is total shit nowadays and despite having so much talent, they do absolutely nothing with them. Most times, they just waste their money coming to shows where they don't even get booked in the end.
So for you,if someone is a undergod,we just doesn't book him,no matter what pop he had.That's bullshit.How much of Zack Ryder's frustration is true and how much of it is a work? Booking wise, Ryder is a jobber because a real push would kill his underdog appeal, but he still sells as much merchandise as the main eventers, and brings money into the WWE's YouTube channel through his webshow.
This is what guys with no creativity does.Would it be so hard to had a Ryder fighting a Sandow with all his heart,same if Damien is stronger than him ?
