WWE talent scout Gabe Sapolsky shared a list on social media, noting seven things that wrestlers and aspiring stars should consider when signing a contract. He noted questions the wrestlers themselves can ask, including what plans the promotion has for them and if there will be a chance of upward mobility. He wrote the following:
“Things to consider when signing a contract:
-Ask what their plans are for you. This will immediately tell you if it’s a good opportunity
-Is there upward mobility not just in the promotion, but for the future in your career
-Who will you get to learn from and work with
-The devil is in the details. What are the limitations, and what freedoms do you have
-Are you signing it just to be “signed.” Not a good reason.
-What benefits will you gain that you would miss out on if you don’t sign
-What’s your gut feeling on it? Follow your heart.”
Gabe Sapolsky later added, “I’m sure I’ll regret posting this since this app is mostly people talking about things that they have no real knowledge of, but think they do. Will delete soon, probably.” You can view his posts below:
