Jesse Ventura: "You work for one company. They order you around, control your whole life. How are you possibly an independent contractor? Except, they don’t have to pay your social security. That’s why."

Roddy Piper: "C’mon guys, if it’s a billion-dollar business, which it is, give it (a union) to them. But wrestlers are afraid for their jobs, so it’s probably only going to be pressure from the public that makes it happen."

Angel Orsini: "There’s no reason why wrestling in general cannot be more like acting, maybe not having a union but having more of a guild or association that provides some guidance, leadership, and structure."

Kris Statlander: "It's a great idea and if wrestling were brand new and trying to establish all the set rules, it'd be a lot easier. It's hard to change something that's existed for so long."

Crowbar: "I don't think the older generation could have pulled it off just because I just don't think that the unity was there. I don't know if it's there in this day or age."
