The boss knows best. One of the biggest stories of the year has been a lot of wrestlers trying to get out of their contracts with WWE. Whether or not this actually works is up for debate as very few of the names have actually gotten to leave the company. At the end of the day, WWE still holds almost all of the power in these situations and that is not likely to change. Neither is the boss of the company not being happy with these complaints, and he is letting that be known.
Over the year, a variety of wrestlers, including Luke Harper, Sin Cara, Mike Kanellis and more have all tried to get out of their contracts for one reason or another. Most of them cite dissatisfaction with the amount of wrestling they get to do, though some have different issues altogether. Many of these issues have been announced on Twitter, and that is where WWE does not seem to be happy.
According to Ryan Satin, Triple H recently took part in a conference call to hype up this weekend’s Takeover: WarGames and was asked about talent not being pleased with their contract situations. In response, Triple H said that airing your grievances on Twitter is not the way to go about solving the problem. Instead, the wrestlers should be picking up their phone and calling someone, which he would consider handling business like a professional. At the moment, WWE has not released any of the wrestlers from their contracts.
"That ain't the place to do it. We all have phones. You handle your business like a professional"

Triple H may want to be careful or this could happen again. Check out a bit of a labor dispute:
Opinion: This is a situation where Triple H is almost exactly right. Whether they are happy or not, the wrestlers signed the deals. If there is something wrong with them, they should be able to pick up a phone and call their boss, or just go to see them in person about things. Letting the masses know about it on Twitter does not seem like the most productive idea in the world and it certainly does not make them look the best. I understand why they do it, but it would be better for them not to.
Who is right in this? Will WWE ever release any of the wrestlers? Let us know in the comments below.
