According to DeVille, these similarities are not positive. She cited contract structures where performers are classified as independent contractors, yet are still beholden to strict schedules and must cover their own medical expenses and injuries. "You can be contracted with a company, but you still have to pay your medical bills and injuries," DeVille stated. "And you know, you're still completely an independent business person, but you can be beholden to a schedule."
DeVille suggested that this business model primarily benefits top executives who accrue profits, while the performers who endure physical hardship do not earn substantial amounts. She felt that performers in the documentary appeared to be "used and abused a bit," with only a select few achieving financial stability long-term. While acknowledging that documentaries may not present a complete picture, DeVille was left with the impression that financial security is rare for most professional wrestlers.
