Here's the story for anyone who doesn't want to click the link.
Soon GFW will be asking for 10% of all of our earnings for posting about their company.

FFS... I fully expect them to send a letter to Joe, AJ, Roode, and Young that they owe TNA 40% of all of their WWE earnings.

I swear GFW is about a month away from requesting one finger and one toe from each person who has ever worked for them.

Did GFW actively assist her in getting the job? If not, that is an absolutely ridiculous demand to make.

Ed: We used footage of all of you gentlemen in our recent ONO episode, because of this, you are still employed by this company in my eyes, and we are owed a percentage of your earnings! Joe, AJ, Bobby, and Eric, all in unison: JERRY!!! |

Is this even legal in anyway? Imagine you're working construction during the day and get a second job delivering pizza's at night, and the construction company wants 10%. How do they even enforce this? If you refuse, are the going to take you to court and sue? Are they going to go to the pizza company and demand the 10%?
How the hell is this even a real thing?

At this rate if Lashley's daughter set up a lemonade stand they'd be demanding 10% of all proceeds from that too.

It's sad, but I think I can follow their twisted logic, at least a tiny bit. I don't agree with it, mind you, but I think I know the internal logic that Ed is clinging to.
Well, we do a TV show, and that's a type of entertainment, and she left us to take some other acting job that is also on TV, so it's the same thing, since both shows are shows. So it's likely that since she worked for us, that is what got her the job, so we are owed a kind of finder's fee, only wen want it in installments that last for as long as she does that job.
Same for Jeff Hardy, since music is also a kind of entertainment, and people might garner some enjoyment from it, as they hypothetically would from GFTNAW, so if both things can make someone say "This is fun" then they're connected, and so Ed wants money.
It's thin, it has no merit, and if anyone has a lawyer worth a damn, GFW is sunk the first time someone takes them to court over this "business model". Sadly, some people will still sign on, probably with the idea of "Well, I"m a big star, so they wouldn't do that to ME, right?"
The would, they will, and it leaves the rest of us wondering how the hell someone with this logic pattern, with this train of reasoning, has managed to make his company, his business, network, or even some lemonade stand in his front yard successful.
Hell, on the lemonade stand analogy, it's basically this. Well, I've got a lemonade stand, and it's not doing so well, and down the street, the Girl Scouts are selling cookies, and they're giving out cups of juice if you buy cookies since it's hot. I sell a drink, and they have a drink at their stand, so that means we're the same. So even though the Girl Scouts have been around forever, and are bigger and more established, some of the girls that are at the stand are people I know who might help me with my lemonade stand. So that means, that if they help me out when they come to hang out, I get to have the Girl Scouts give me money because of my lemonade stand.
My head hurts from that, but to me, that's Ed's mindset.

First off let me say that I don't like GFW taking 10% of anyone's wages BUT....
If the talent doesn't want 10% taken out of their 'other jobs' or from other promotions, or don't want to give up their merchandising rights, etc. then don't sign a contract saying that you will allow them to. GFW can not enforce something like that without getting consent from whoever is signing the contract. It's written into their contracts. Sure it's a stupid legal trick to get GFW more money but if the talent keep allowing them to do it why wouldn't they? Don't wait until they enforce one of the rules of the contract to bitch about it. Bitch about it beforehand and get it removed from the contract. If they won't remove it, don't sign it. Plain and simple.
