Right now on the Masters class we talk about free agency and pro wrestling.

This is the Busted Open Podcast.

Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast, The Masters Class, and we got a really good topic today, but we're going to do it with our Masters of the Ring classes now in session and who's our teachers?

Well, it's WWE Hall of Famer, T&A Hall of Famer, the most decorated tag team

wrestler of all-time Bullery, and the innovator of violence to landlord of the House of Hardcore

and Heart and Soul of Professional Wrestling, Tommy Dreamer.

Guys, what we're going to talk about today, and this is coming off the heels of Will Osprey doing

an interview with comic book.com where he openly was recruiting ricoche saying, hey, I don't

know when his contracts up, but we would love to have him because the ricoche we've been seeing

in the WWE would not be the same ricochet that you would see in A. E. W.

Obviously a far cry from how wrestlers were recruited back in a day.

So I thought we would share some of those stories and

how you feel about how things are done in 2024.

And bully, I'll start with you.

First of foremost, should wrestlers in interviews

be openly recruiting other wrestlers who are signed

in other companies?

Professional wrestlers slash sports entertainers are independent contractors.

Thus, they should be able to say whatever they want and nobody should be able to hold them back.

Will Osprey is not a reparation. want and nobody should be able to hold them back.

Will Osprey is not a representative of A.E.W.

He is not an employee of A.E.W.
