World Of Sport Working With Union?

The return of World Of Sport to ITV is right around the corner and it appears that the historic wrestling show has signed them all to work with the Equity Union, according to the Wrestling Observer. 

The wrestlers signed on have essentially become television actors which is why they have fallen into the union, which is used primarily for those on soap operas. Unions for wrestlers is a topic that has often been discussed, especially for WWE Superstars, but that is yet to happen.
