Well, Some of them get paid well, some most dont. I only know a few but heres what i know.
Angle and Sting make 500,000 per year (wasted money imo)
Cage (??? assumed 300-400,000)
Everyone else is a lot less. IF they are full time and active im assuming the rest make about 50- 100,000 in TNA. Some of the low end guys get paid per appearance (shark boy) 50 - 100,000 sounds good, BUT you gotta figure they have to pay for all their travel arrangements. Thats one reason why TNA is hestiant to travel a lot, and why guys like killings, and vkm are mad.
The Big name wwe guys make 1-2 million per year. There is a thread on it somewhere. Orton is making like 700,000 or something like that. Then the low end guys make anywhere from 50k to 300,000. Matt Striker is only gettin paid like 50,000. Guys like Murdoch is at 120,000. Masters is 200,000. So if your in wrestling to make money, the spot is the wwe.
You also gotta figure the wwe wrestlers work over 300 days a year. If you calculate that in, Tna is more attactive, but the wwe is still more money. The problem with tna, is that if you arent a star, your not making any money.

Well maybe like 1-2 years ago I heard that AJ Styles and other big names were making like 1,000 per month, but no doubt it's more than that now, since TNA has come a long way. TNA is better to work for, you don't travel, plus they tape 2 shows in one day, it's paradise, but WWE is more rich since they are like a freakin' monopoly!

Like montana said, some people get paid by number the performance. But the attractive part of working for TNA is that you are able to be booked for other independent shows, and if you work like 300 days like WWE, i thinl they should be able to earn 200k a year
that's a far cry from wcw which was a nirvana in terms of salary,no wonder so many wwe stars left for wcw in the 90s.
yeah I think tna guy's make enough. And with their shedule it is great. I think 500,000 in enough for people like Sting and around 300,000-400,000 sound right for people like Cage,Styles,Abyss and people like taht. But yeah if your in it just for the money WWE is the right place to go.
They were getting paid like 1000 per month for being in TNA but then they would also go to ROH and get 1000 per month plus TNA superstars have there own image rights and get money for merchandise. WWE guys get paid that much because they cant travel all promotions picking up more paychecks plus WWE guys see hardly any merchandise money unless they are right at the top of the company so they also get paid to sign over there image rights.
