Original Executive Producer Haim Saban was criticized heavily for his use of non-SAG actors, and the one-sided contracts that the actors were bound to for appearing on the show. The "Mighty Morphin" cast was bound to five-year contracts with no benefits and insultingly low pay (reportedly $500 US per week), which were non-negotiable. When the series hit big time, Fox signed the show to a two-picture deal, and actors Austin St. John, Walter Emmanuel Jones and Thuy Trang left the series when none of their demands were met. They were immediately replaced, ...

Unlike her husband and children, Linda's on screen character is normally presented as neutral, rational and selfless. When she makes an appearance, she will often use her "power" to thwart the plans of her family, or to punish a heel. Though the McMahon's often squabble on screen, they get along normally in reality. Linda feuded with Vince throughout early 1999. At one point she and Stephanie supposedly gave their WWE Stock to Stone Cold Steve Austin, granting him a great deal of power. Austin lost th ...
