How come it's not affecting WWE (or TNA for that matter)?

Wrestling writers aren't part of a union. The writers on strike actually planned to protest outside WWE offices to try and get their writers to join the union.

It seems the pro wrestling industry doesn't believe in unions.
Either that or McMahon is just an advocate of Taylorism.

If the WWE writers joined the Union, would they carry 2x4's?

Don't even get me started on this strike thing. Thanks to it they took Heroes away just as it was getting good again.
Having some classic Raws on instead of actual Raw wouldnt be bad for a few weeksi anything did happen though.

If the WWE writers joined the union and went on strike that would be the best thing to come from this whole BS.
I fondly remember the days before wrestling hired crappy soap opera hacks.

WWE's writers aren't members of the Writers Guild Of America. If they were, then they would be on strike.

If the writers left they'd just be striking themselves out of a job. There's plenty of old wrestlers hanging around that can book a show.
And I love this sentiment that WWE is anti-union - show me a company in the history of the world that's pro-union.

That's pretty ignorant, man. They got screwed out of DVD sales. They just want what's coming to them. The networks could've discussed it with them, but they decided strongarm tactics were the way to go, and escalated things to the level they're at. I know people are annoyed because they can't watch their stupid f***ing television programs, but I can't really see taking the side of some giant television company that decided to buttf*** their employees.

While the strikers protest outside WWE offices, the big fat oily guy will dance for their entertainment.
