But WCW and ECW both covered medical expenses and paid guys when they were out with an injury. Vince fired Andrew "Test" Martin while he was out with a broken neck and fired Jackie Gayda when she became pregnant and could get away with it because his workers are falsely classified as independent contracters.

You're right on the larger point though. The business has always been bad for taking care of it's workers. The only professional atheletes without a union (and Vince keeps firing people who try and start one).

And artistically, we're in total agreement.
