Introduction

As part of a racial discrimination lawsuit against World Championship Wrestling (CIVIL DOCKET FOR CASE #: 1:00-cv-00368-CC Onoo v . World Championship Wrestling, Inc ., Turner Sports., Turner released payroll records 1996-2000 and a copy of the Talent Contract Database as of May 2000.

There was a second version released from August 2000 in another filing.

(Full list of Plaintiffs were Marcial Davis, Lester Speight, Darron Easterling, Harrison Norris, William Worthen, Bobby Walker, Kazuo Onoo, Claude Patterson, Rick Reeves, and Bouthan Saengisphan.)

Here is a copy of the WCW lawsuit documents.

The 1996-2000 payroll documents were filed with the court on 10/10/2002 and explained as: "Attached here to as Exhibit A is a chart identifying each male wrestler who entered into a wrestling contract with WCW for the period 1996 through 2000, and providing compensation information regarding salary, merchandising revenue and licensing revenue for each wrestler by year, as determined from documents and information currently available to UWC."

These documents have since been transcribed through the efforts of many people.

This information was largely compiled and analyzed by David Bixenspan (@davidbix) and Chris Harrington (@mookieghana).

There was enormous help from many others including @drappstar, @jquinn0501, @1053Ridge, @cpawrestles, @WhooWrestling, @HelloMrKearns, @RTLeone, @Dancing_Mad, and Chester.

You can see the original spreadsheet we used to transcribe the data.

(*) The payroll numbers for 2000 do not seem to represent an entire year.

Mentioned in Bischoff's pitch for possible wrestlers to be involved with "Ready to Rumble"

"Plaintiff Kazuo Onoo began providing services to WCW as an international consultant in the mid-1990s. Mr. Onoo possessed Japanese language skills and other business development skills and contacts that WCW believed would assist it in business endeavors it was conducting in Japan. Further, when Japanese wrestlers came to the United States to wrestle on WCW's programs, Mr. Onoo provided services as a translator and assisted with other administrative tasks and arrangements for the wrestlers to function in the United States and perform for WCW. During the course of his work as an international consultant, Mr. Onoo and WCW agreed that Mr. Onoo should begin to appear at wrestling events and on televised wrestling programs with some of these Japanese wrestlers as the wrestlers' "manager." Mr. Onoo began appearing as "Sonny Onoo," a character he created. Mr. Onoo was thereafter paired as the manager of some other wrestlers, some of Asian descent, and some not of Asian descent. Through 1998 and into 1999, Mr. Onoo appeared on numerous wrestling programs for WCW as a manager to different wrestlers. Mr. Onoo was highly compensated for his work, including receiving additional compensation for additional appearances beyond a minimal base appearance level, as set by his Independent Contractor Agreement with WCW. However, in 1999, some of the story lines Mr. Onoo was involved in began to become less popular or otherwise ran their course as wrestling story lines inevitably do. The wrestlers from Japan who Mr. Onoo "managed" only stayed in the United States for short periods of time (a few weeks or few months based on WCW's business agreements with them. In addition, other wrestlers Mr. Onoo "managed" became more and more successful with WCW audiences and more popular on their own, without a manager. Moreover, managers at WCW were used to serve as "mouthpieces" for wrestlers, to speak for them on camera and act on their behalf in on-camera interviews made part of the wrestling programming. In 1999, WCW decided to use wrestlers who could speak for themselves without managers, and WCW stopped creating roles for wrestler managers in the story lines of its wrestling programming as they had traditionally existed. WCW stopped using traditional wrestler managers altogether by the second-half of the year. After that time, wrestlers appeared either alone or with certain female on-camera talent portraying the roles of wives or girlfriends of the wrestlers who accompanied them but did not speak for the wrestlers. At the same time as Mr. Onoo's on-screen manager character had become unnecessary to WCW's story lines, the need for Mr. Onoo's services as an international consultant also ended due to a change in WCW's international business endeavors. Accordingly, Mr. Onoo received a letter from WCW dated November 3, 1999, informing him that his Agreement with WCW to provide services as an international consultant and an on-screen talent manager was being terminated in accordance with the terms of his Agreement. Mr. Onoo was paid through January 14, 2000, pursuant to the terms of his Agreement. This decision to terminate Mr. Onoo's Agreement with WCW was purely a business decision. WCW was trying to reduce its expenses, having gone through a recent downturn in its business. Mr. Onoo was highly compensated under his Agreement, receiving in excess of $300,000 during the preceding two years, but his services were no longer needed by WCW. The termination of Mr. Onoo's Agreement had nothing to do with Mr. Onoo's race or national origin. Rather, his termination was purely a business decision due to the lack of need for his further services. Mr. Onoo was paid all that he was entitled to receive for all of the services he provided to WCW. All of the decisions made with regard to Mr. Onoo were legitimate business decisions based on WCW's business setting and future business goals. Furthermore, Mr. Onoo never complained to WCW about any alleged discriminatory or harassing decisions or comments being made to him by anyone at WCW, and WCW is unaware of any such conduct occurring at WCW during the relevant period of time. No decisions regarding Mr. Onoo have had anything to do with his race or national origin, and Mr. Onoo has not been subjected to any racial discrimination, harassment or retaliation by WCW. " - WCW statement on Sonny Onoo from June 2001

Sonny Onoo (Kazuo Onoo) filed a Racial Discrimination suit against World Championship Wrestling in Feb. 2000; it was settled in July 2003

"Plaintiff Bobby Walker provided wrestling services to WCW, most recently under a two-year Independent Contractor Agreement beginning on January 1, 1999. This Agreement was a standard wrestler Independent Contractor Agreement for the wrestling industry, and was what is known as a "pay or play" contract, meaning that Mr. Walker was entitled to the compensation under the Agreement no matter how often he performed as a wrestler for WCW, or even if he did not perform for WCW. During his relationship with WCW, Mr. Walker had numerous appearances in WCW live performances and live television programs. However, Mr. Walker appeared most frequently in taped wrestling programs produced by WCW for two reasons. First, his wrestling persona was relatively passive and uninteresting, and his ability to excite and energize an audience -especially a live audience -by his appearances was limited. Second, Mr. Walker insisted on including in his wrestling performances a maneuver in which he would walk along the ring ropes of the wrestling ring like a tightrope walker. When attempting this maneuver, Mr. Walker more

often than not fell off of the ropes and could never master this move to the point where WCW could be reasonably confident that Mr. Walker would not fall off of the ropes on live television broadcasts or before a live audience, thereby ruining the wrestling match. In addition, during the early part of 2000, when WCW attempted to use Mr. Walker's services as a wrestler under his Agreement, Mr. Walker was unavailable to wrestle. Specifically, WCW asked him to work with a tag team partner to prepare himself for use on WCW's upcoming television shows. However, Mr. Walker's preparations and wrestling efforts were poor, and after spending two or three days preparing for this role, Mr. Walker unilaterally stopped preparing and claimed that he had injured his knee and was unavailable to wrestle due to this injury. Accordingly, WCW was not able to use Mr. Walker in its television shows as a wrestler after this injury, despite continuing to pay him under his Agreement. WCW's use of Mr. Walker's services has not been based on or affected by his race in any way. WCW was limited in using Mr. Walker's services because of his wrestling persona and his insistence on performing wrestling maneuvers which he could not successfully carry out with any degree of certainty. This made Mr. Walker ill-suited for use on live television or before a live audience. More recently, when WCW made an effort to use Mr. Walker's services, he indicated he was unavailable to wrestle due to an injury. Further, Mr. Walker never complained to WCW about any alleged discriminatory or harassing decisions or comments being made to him by anyone at WCW, and WCW is unaware of any such conduct occurring at WCW. No decisions regarding Mr. Walker have had anything to do with his race and Mr. Walker has not been subjected to any racial discrimination, harassment or retaliation by WCW." - WCW statement on Bobby Walker from June 2001

Hardwork Bobby Walker (Bobby Walker) filed suit against World Championship Wrestling, TBS and Terry Taylor in July 1998; it was dismissed in January 1999.

Hardwork Bobby Walker (Bobby Walker) filed a Racial Discrimination suit against World Championship Wrestling in Feb. 2000; it was settled in July 2003

"Plaintiffs Harrison Norris and Marcial Davis are professional wrestlers who wanted to provide wrestling services to WCW. In an effort to do so, both of them trained to be professional wrestlers at WCW's Power Plant training facility, along with many others. Over the last few months of 1998 and into 1999, WCW transferred its Power Plant facility to a new location and decided that the new training facility would only be for a smaller group of wrestler trainees than the large group that had previously been training at the Power Plant. All of the individuals who would train at this new facility were going to be given the opportunity to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement with WCW as a wrestler trainee. Previously, individuals training at the Power Plant had no contract with WCW and were non-contract independent contractors who were solely paid a fee for each time they participated in a WCW event. At the new Power Plant facility, rather than being paid solely for their appearances, the trainees would be given the opportunity to sign these Agreements and be paid additional sums to provide wrestling services to WCW as trainees. After evaluating all of the 40 or so individuals who were then training at the previous Power Plant location, both Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis were selected by WCW to be signed to Independent Contractor Agreements as wrestler trainees and to continue training at the new Power Plant location. Four of the roughly twelve individuals signed to trainee Agreements at this time were racial or ethnic minorities, while most of the roughly 30 individuals who were not provided with the opportunity to sign a trainee Agreement were Caucasian. Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis formally entered into their trainee Agreements in April, 1999. The Agreements had one-year term s, but also expressly provided that they could be terminated for any reason with fourteen (14) days advance notice. Under these Agreements, Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis continued to train to be a wrestler with WCW, now in the new Power Plant location. In September, 1999, WCW evaluated all of the trainees at the Power Plant, as was done on a periodic basis. WCW determined that Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis' wrestling characters, persona and talents were not particularly notable and that they did not stand out as potential star wrestlers among the trainees. In addition, Mr. Davis' skills as a wrestler had regressed, rather than improved, during his time as a trainee. WCW concluded that Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis were unlikely to be successful professional wrestlers or to advance beyond the level they had currently attained as trainees. Accordingly, WCW decided that Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis' Agreements should be terminated, as it no longer made sense for them to continue as trainees at WCW. Both individuals were notified of this decision and received official letters from WCW that informed them of the termination of their respective Agreements. Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis• Agreements were terminated based on the decision made by WCW that they no longer fit the business needs of WCW. This process of terminating Agreements of trainees after it was determined that they would not be successful wrestlers that WCW could use was a normal process that was conducted without regard to race. In fact, at the time of Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis' termination and since that time, WCW terminated the Agreements of roughly 33 trainees or other wrestlers who were trying to become successful WCW wrestlers, and of these individuals, only 2 have been African-American while roughly 28 have been Caucasian. Both Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis were paid properly all money owed under their Agreements, and both received appropriate compensation for their wrestling appearances during the period they provided services to WCW on a non-contract basis. In addition, Mr. Norris and Mr. Davis never complained to WCW about any alleged discriminatory or harassing decisions or comments being made to him by anyone at WCW, and WCW is unaware of any such conduct occurring at WCW. No decisions regarding Mr. Norris or Mr. Davis had anything to do with their race, and they have not been subjected to any racial discrimination, harassment or retaliation by WCW." - WCW Statement on Harrison Norris from June 2001

Hardbody Harrison (Harrison Norris) filed a Racial Discrimination suit against World Championship Wrestling in Feb. 2000; it was settled in July 2003

Bounthan Saengsiphan

Powerplant Trainee

"Plaintiff Bounthan Saengsiphan was a professional wrestler who, like many others, also wanted to provide his wrestling services to WCW. Mr. Saengsiphan was physically small to be a professional wrestler (weighing approximately 180 pounds), but during 1998 and into 1999, he was given the opportunity to train to be a professional wrestler at WCW's Power Plant training facility. In May, 1999, however, Mr. Saengsiphan injured his knee and permanently stopped training at the Power Plant. After this event, Mr. Saengsiphan also stopped pursuing opportunities to become a professional wrestler with WCW.

Mr. Saengsiphan did not achieve success as a wrestler with WCW during the limited time he spent training before his injury because of his overall lack of abilities as a wrestler, particularly for a wrestler of his size. While Mr. Saengsiphan had some skills as a wrestler, due to his small size he needed to show extreme quickness and exhibit exciting, high-flying moves to be considered for use as a professional wrestler on WCW's programs. During the time he trained at the Power Plant, Mr. Saengsiphan did not exhibit the necessary quickness, agility or ability to carry out sufficiently exciting moves to be successful at his size. Mr. Saengsiphan was never as capable a performer as the few other wrestlers his size who received opportunities to wrestle with WCW. The few other wrestlers of his size who wrestled with WCW also came to WCW with more wrestling experience and did not need the training that Mr. Saengsiphan did. Of course, Mr. Saengsiphan ended his training at WCW's Power Plant, but while he was training, no decision was made regarding him that in any way related to his race or national origin, and WCW took no discriminatory action with regard to Mr. Saengsiphan at any time. Likewise, Mr. Saengsiphan never complained to WCW about any alleged discriminatory or harassing decisions or comments being made to him by anyone at WCW, and WCW is unaware of any such conduct at the Power Plant or anywhere else at WCW. " - WCW statement on Bounthan Saengsiphan in June 2001

Lester Speight

Powerplant Trainee - "Mighty Rasta"

"Plaintiff Lester Speight was a professional wrestler who, like many others, also wanted to provide his wrestling services to WCW. In an effort to do so, he trained for a period of time to be a professional wrestler at WCW's Power Plant training facility. However, Mr. Speight chose to leave this training facility to pursue a wrestling opportunity in Europe. After returning to the United States, Mr. Speight contacted WCW about opportunities to wrestle. WCW agreed to use Mr. Speight's wrestling services in a match during one of its live wrestling programs. Mr. Speight appeared in the match and was paid an amount similar to that paid to other wrestlers who provided non-contract independent contractor wrestling services to WCW similar to what Mr. Speight provided. After this appearance, however, WCW did not find other opportunities to utilize Mr. Speight's wrestling services. The decisions about the use of Mr. Speight's wrestling services by WCW had nothing to due with his race." -WCW Statement on Lester Speight from June 2001

William Worthen

Powerplant Trainee - "William Worthy"

"Plaintiffs Darron Easterling and William Worthen are professional wrestlers who wanted to provide their wrestling services to WCW. In an effort to do so, during the relevant period of time they trained to be professional wrestlers at WCW's Power Plant training facility. Over the last few months of 1998 and into 1999, WCW transferred its Power Plant facility to a new location and decided that the new training facility would only be for a smaller group of wrestler trainees than the large group that had previously been training at the former Power Plant location. All of the wrestlers who were going to train at this new facility were going to be given the opportunity to sign an Independent Contractor Agreement with WCW as a wrestler trainee. Previously, individuals training at the Power Plant had no contract with WCW and were non-contract independent contractors who were solely paid a fee for each time they participated in a WCW event. At the new Power Plant facility, rather than being paid solely for their appearances, the trainees would be given the opportunity to sign these Agreements and be paid additional sums to provide wrestling services to WCW as trainees. After evaluating all of the 40 or so individuals who were then training at the former Power Plant location, WCW selected about twelve of these individuals to be offered trainee Agreements, based on the evaluation of their wrestling skills and persona and their display of the traits necessary to become successful professional wrestlers. WCW did not select Mr. Easterling or Mr. Worthen for such Agreements because they were not considered among the best dozen talents of those training at the Power Plant. While Mr. Easterling and Mr. Worthen were not chosen, four of the roughly twelve individuals signed to trainee Agreements at this time were racial or ethnic minorities, and most of the roughly 30 individuals who were not provided with the opportunity to sign a trainee Agreement were Caucasian. Mr. Easterling and Mr. Worthen were among the few minorities not chosen. The decision not to select Mr. Easterling or Mr. Worthen to sign a trainee Agreement was made solely on legitimate business reasons, and was made without regard to race. No decisions regarding Mr. Easterling or Mr. Worthen had anything to do with their race, and they have not been subjected to any racial discrimination or harassment by WCW.
