Question: What kind of deals are guys like Bret/Foley/Austin under? All have talked about not being on Legends deals, all sell their own merch independent of WWE, but also appear in the Funko/Mattel lines and on shirts and other merchandise sold by WWEShop. This is 100% speculative, but I think bigger names (Sting, Goldberg, Austin, Foley, HBK, Bret, etc) could be able to negotiate specific terms. The Legends deals that I have seen are identical in their wording, pay rates, etc. There's no bargaining. It's take it or leave it. I'd think the bigger name stars may have more leverage to negotiate terms since they are going to make WWE more money. And with all those guys, they also own their ring names (as far as I know). For example if you look at the Austin merch on PWT, it all says Broken Skull Ranch or Steve Austin. WWE owns the trademarks to Stone Cole, the smoking skull, etc.
