Between the economic  climate and the fact regulation hasn&#8217;t made a difference in the past,  it&#8217;s doubtful, but not impossible.  The Achilles heel of the company may  have been classifying its wrestlers as independent contractors.   Because wrestling is a relatively small business in the big picture, and  active wrestlers know they can&#8217;t publicly say anything, if not for this  campaign, that issue would likely have stayed under wraps.  An  investigation is already under way, and with a bad ruling.  The vast  majority of answers to questions seem to point strongly to WWE wrestlers  as employees rather than independent contractors.  Of all the business  misfires, from the bodybuilding league, to failed outside promotions, a  failed football league, a failed restaurant, this right now is the  second most money spent on a failed project, behind only the football  league, although the family due to the company going public, can afford  it.  But if these investigations go anywhere, the potential is for this  to be the most costly decision the family has ever made.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the new issue of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, covering Linda McMahon&#8217;s Senate election defeat: Will an effort be made to re-regulate wrestling?
