worker wants more money

[takertitan]

I liked this in EWR, kind of.

I like the idea of workers being able to ask for more money esp if they have gone from no overness to a main eventer in 1 contract. My example of this is in my current game i have pushed Grandmaster Phunk to the moon(A+ overness) but he still makes little to no money.

He signed a contract, he has to live with it. A contract is a contract, and the only thing he can do is wait for his to run out or quit. That's just how it works in real life. They could beg for more money all they want, but why should I give it to them when they signed a contract?

I've always wondered how sports athletes get away with that. if they feel they should get a new contract the pout like spoiled brats not already making 10 mill a year, until they get a 20 mil a year contract.

I guess they threaten to quit. Some have been called on their bluffs and been fired.

Maybe in the game this could be done related to personality. Like a Kevin Nash-type would probably demand more money or quit. But someone like Chris Jericho would probably be thankful that they've made it big and would be willing to wait for more money.

well, in sports, athletes have options, so they can hold out, threaten to quit etc. And also for the franchise, they can trade him if they dont wanna pay him, but wrestlers dont have that privilege.

They really only get to do it in (American Sports) football. They can do it because their contracts are non-guaranteed. If their performance slips from when they sign a contract they'll be cut without hesitation, so naturally if they over-perform they expect to get more money. Baseball and basketball have guaranteed contracts.

And in wrestling, people hesitate before cutting someone??

I get your point though.

I'll be honest, I don't know anything about the legal structure of wrestling contracts. It's possible they are single side guaranteed? There may also be buyout clauses, etc.

Well, Lesnar bought out his contract for a quite a large sum of money and a no-compete clause until 2010. Then he sued and the clause was eliminated at least in Japan. That was part of an undisclosed settlement.

And Day_Dreamer, how do you know that there's no hesitation in firing someone?

I have begun to wonder if taketitan has actually played TEW extensively before posting about "wants" in '08. He talked about pushing Phunk to the moon, but wait until his next contract negotiation when Phunk goes from $500 to $5,000.

I just guessed that if there was any hesitation, we wouldn't be seeing as many layovers as we generally do.

i been playing Adam's games since EWR. i own every game he has ever released, and i work as a programmer at a Cell Phone Game company.

Maybe i do know a thing or 2 about video games....

nah, you must be right praguepride, you sitting at home watching wrestling 24/7 and being afraid of the sunlight must know more then me.

*/sarcasim off

[praguepride]

eh maybe I was a little harsh, I apologize.

It just seems that you post before thinking things through. Although if that's a crime then everyone on the internet (including myself) should be held to capital punishment. I know I've burned through my three strikes.

The point is that when you sign a contract, you're bound to that contract (unless you can legally prove that it was an unlawful contract... good luck with that) So if you sign up for 8 months at $500 a show, you're stuck until you either a) cancel the contract or b) wait for the contract to expire. Not being able to change a contract midway through is more realistic, plus it avoids the annoying parts of WMMA where you have to re-negotiate after almost every show because everyone always wants more money.

Also, it's not my fault, the sunlight hurts my eyes

as far as wrestling contracts go it depends on what type they have. The majority of wrestling are working on a pay per apperience base. They can get more or less depending on several things. If a has raised attendence a few hundred or more then he would expect more money. If a person is selling alot of product then he would expect more money. then again if he is underperforming then ofcourse he would not make as much.

if they are on a "writen" contact as almost if not all of the wwe guys are then they usally have to wait for there contracts to expire in most cases. They can ask for more and some times the contracts can be redone but unless they are super over it is not going to happen. The wrestles do have options. They can pull a warrior and "hold up" a promoter. Basicly refusing to go out unless they get more money.

I wouldn't mind seeing workers request more money if they suddenly get popular.

While you wouldn't have to give them a raise it would effect a workers moral.
