AS I SEE IT

In another instance of TKO holding talent hostage with
ridiculously long non-competes, former WWE ring announcer
Samantha Irvin revealed last Tuesday that she actually had a
two-year no compete clause.
“One year down, one year left on my non-compete! Can’t
wait....I hope you enjoy my songs in the meantime and look
back on all the memories as fondly as I do! Love & miss you
all and remember – I NEVER left FOR music, I am music. Hope
to see you soon…” she added.
After leaving WWE, Irvin indicated that she really didn't
like ring announcing, despite being loved by anyone who
heard her unique introductions and match result calls. Irvin
indicated announcing was only supposed to be her way in to
wrestling, and that her goal within wrestling was managing.
Back then she said "But WWE saw no other future for me
besides announcer,...I love watching the action but I don’t
love being an announcer.”
Former WWE talent and more importantly, 2006 Harvard Law
graduate (and previously practicing lawyer) David Otunga was
one of many lawyers that have expressed legal opinions that
the one year non-compete provision in WWE contracts is
legally unenforceable.
In a video on his YouTube account, Otunga said: ...there
is a lot to be left to interpretation and there are vague
clauses. The contract is a lot of contradictions. The whole
independent contractors part, it just doesn’t seem legally
enforceable to me.”Otunga spoke on the one year non-
compete if "for cause'. “...Under this non-compete
clause, technically, a talent could sign a contract, WWE
could turn around the next day and fire them for no cause,
and then say, ‘Hey, we’re not going to pay you for one year
and you can’t wrestle anywhere else for one year.’ This is
in the contract. This would be enforceable, presuming this
contract is valid,” he said.
Otunga then spoke on why WWE typically does a 90-day as
opposed to the one year in Andrade's case: “This is WWE
being smart because they’re trying to keep these disputes
out of court. They don’t want talent to take them to court
and challenge this because a judge would likely rule this
invalid. The fact that you’re preventing somebody from
working to support themselves in their given field for an
entire year and you’re not compensating them, that right
there, we can go back to contract 101, it has to be equal on
both sides to where you’re giving up something in exchange
for something else.
In this situation, the talent would be giving up their right
to earn a living in exchange for nothing because they
wouldn’t be compensated by WWE. It’s different when WWE pays
them because now they have a little more leverage for the
contract to be seen as somewhat reasonable, but the argument
can still be made. When WWE is not compensating the talent,
I don’t know how they could enforce this.
Otunga said, much as numerous lawyers interviewed by major
wrestling websites have also said: “If he were to take
this to court, I think a judge is very likely to rule in his
favor and just throw out the entire clause in the contract.
You can’t prevent somebody from earning a living for an
entire year.”
This story gets even more interesting. On Friday, PWInsider
reported that the word in Mexican lucha circles is that WWE
wants to "leverage" Andrade's non-compete to bring him back
after firing him. Translation: TKO is trying to starve him
out.
In an interesting story Wednesday, it was announced that
next year's WWE Money in the Bank, originally scheduled for
New Orleans, LA at the Smoothie King Center on the same
weekend as AEW ALL IN 2026 at Wembley, was moved it back one
week to Sunday, September 6.
One wonders if ESPN played a part in the move away from
doing another head-to-head. The fact is that neither PLE
that has appeared on ESPN has seen viewership numbers
mentioned or press releases issued from TKO OR ESPN. So the
numbers aren't there yet. But in fairness, ESPN shares at
least part of the blame in allowing WWE PLEs to begin airing
on ESPN Unlimited while half the cable universe still can't
access the app, most notably Xfinity. I'm not talking about
getting it free. I mean it can't be accessed at all. You
can't order ESPN Unlimited AT ALL on Xfinity's X1. You can
only order ESPN Select (formerly ESPN+).

The season of giving is here. The NCAA and the NFL seasons
are already halfway through, pumpkin spice and Spooky season
are in the home stretch, Holiday ads are already appearing
on my TV. Mariah Carey is midway in the defrost cycle. That
means that wrestling indies need to start thinking about the
season of giving...NOW.
Over last year's fall and Holiday season...and for the last
ten years, AS I SEE IT has reported on how the independent
wrestling community reached out to those in need.
Independent promotions throughout the United States and
Canada held events to help their communities during the
Holiday season through wrestling shows, Comic-Cons, playing
video games,10-day marathons sitting on top of a trailer,
bowling parties, online trivia contests, chicken BBQ's,
portrait sittings, Twitch streams, and a dozen other means.
In all those events, they asked fans to do one small thing.
Just "one small thing". But that "one small thing" meant the
world to someone you will never meet.
One can of soup meant that someone was fed for a meal. One
box of rice meant that a family was fed for a week or more.
One warm coat meant an older person won't shiver
uncontrollably when they walk to the market or to a doctor's
appointment.
One toy meant that a child is allowed a moment of innocence
and joy, often the same child who has gone through fear and
deprivation for far too long.
One "small thing" that was anything but small.
Just take a look at the faces of the thousands of children
given toys in southern Florida by Stuff The Bus in Florida,
or in South Jersey by United Wrestling Coalition in New
Jersey, or throughout the Northeast Major Wrestling Figure
Podcast and Ringside Collectibles, or ask the survivors of
domestic violence helped with sanctuary and counseling by
Women of Nations Eagles Nest Shelter because Midwest All
Star Wrestling presented the annual Women of Nations Grand
Slam, or the 1,000 families fed by an effort of Southern
California indies, or thousands of other families provided
toys, winter jackets, or cans of food through Detroit Warm,
Detroit Goodfellows, and Covenant House from a Juggalo
Championship Wrestling show.
It's important because even the smallest act of kindness can
change a life.
The Holidays this year are a time where the government
shutdown is about to result in up to 42 million Americans
not receiving some or all of their SNAP benefits in November
due to the current government shutdown. Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Illinois, are already
notifying recipients that November benefits will not be paid
at all if the shutdown isn't resolved.
The Administration is refusing to use contingency money
available to cover such situations, as well as natural
disasters.
Even if there is a resolution, the "best case scenario"
proposed Trump budget as it exists will result in 4 million
losing SNAP benefits.
That means children will go hungry. It means that at a time
like this, every can, every box, every bag of food may be
the only thing that keeps people from starvation.
Prior to this year...in the last five non-COVID years
(excluding 2020 and 2021), the independents that have
provided information to this blog have raised $1,069,520
US in cash donations, collected 53,544 pounds (nearly
27 tons) of canned and non-perishable food and 58,964
toys.... acts of kindness seemingly beyond measure.
Yet with the current regime in Washington, far, far more of
these acts of kindness will be needed this Holiday season
from every private source possible to help the hungry, the
sick, the cold, the homeless, LGBT people, sexual/domestic
violence victims, animal welfare, and too many more causes.
Indies, it's time to start planning what you can do NOW.
Fans, if your local indie hasn't scheduled or announced an
event or events for the Holiday season, ask them why. Better
yet, offer to help them organize one. It might be you that
needs help tomorrow.
98 indie promotions have scheduled a total of
149 shows and events through the end of the Holiday
Season.
Total contributions as of October 25 are 120 toys,
112 backpacks/sets of school supplies, 2 boxes of
bedclothes/linens 20 Halloween outfits, 18,350 pounds
(over 9 TONS) of canned/non-perishable food, and
