WWE Legends Comment On Vince McMahon Restricting Talent From Using Third Party Platforms

As reported yesterday, Vince McMahon recently sent out an edict to all WWE talent instructing them to stop using third party platforms such as Twitch and Cameo within the next 30 days.

The demand from McMahon seems to have come off the back of AJ Styles announcing via his Twitch channel that he and his family contracted the COVID19 virus. This announcement seems to have riled Vince up and the rest of the locker room are feeling the aftershock.

Several big name wrestling journalists, personalities and commentators have weighed in on the situation and most notably WWE Hall Of Famers Mick Foley and Kevin Nash have both said their piece via Twitter.

TheIr tweets, amongst others, can be seen below:

Banning wrestlers from making extra money on third party deals – twitch, YouTube, cameo – strikes me as a crummy thing to do.

Just my opinion.

Especially as 1099 independent contractors. You're an employee if you have to show up at specific time and are restricted monetary gains in your personal time. Ask for your health insurance coverage and profit sharing

Like I said weeks ago: Vince McMahon has a decades-long history of controlling/exploiting wrestlers and office staff financially. Most famously, he'd aggressively push them to buy houses, sometimes just to make sure they had massive debt debt, and sometimes using WWE as a lender!
