Wrestlers' Incomes

[RingDeath]

Does anyone know who makes how much? Sometimes it's publicized about a particular performer, but generally undisclosed. When Flair was going through his divorce proceedings, it became a matter of public record that his salary was $750K. But that was part of the court record. When WCW and WWE were competing over a signing it often leaked. For example, Jericho signed for 800K, and Big Show for 1 Million. I don't read the wrestling news web sites, but I'd be curious what the main eventers get.

Dude i want to be a wrestler, so I could make that kind of doe. It's gay, I am not office material, hell I would settle for 100,000 a year damnit.

 

[the dark knight]

remember, wrestlers spend ALL their time in the company. i'd rather have a desk job that provides me the same amount of money than become a wrestler.

 

[King_Ash]

Id just like to be a guy who sets up the rings and does all the backstage work.

 

[RingDeath]

I wasn't begrudging the amount they make. I'm just curious what the figures are.

 

[King_Ash]

I googled it once and it came up with a website for a few guys, ill look again.

 

[xtremebadass]

[RingDeath]

Wow. thanks very much, King.

 

[Infernalblaze]

dam them all lol i feel soo poor liek always lol

 

[Soulpower]

Triple H: $2,013,000 (Allowed the personal use of company jet (10) times per year. First class flight tickets, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation paid for every week).

ROFL...

 

[Great One]

Well, he has been consistantly working with the business more than anyone (the jet is definitely because he's in the family)...

 

[ChiWa]

Is this serious? If this is pay without expenses, then, not that bad. If only the top guys get a plane and a room, then it sucks ass. A guy with one job pumping gas, and a Taco Bell job might be money ahead.

 

[The Ripper]

Didnt all wrestlers use to get otels and groud transport at one point?

I think they stopped it because things were getting wrecked and wwe kept paying out

 

[the dark knight]

i understand why taker and triple h are getting more than 1 mill, but cena????? im disappointed. thank god they pay kane and flair somewhat high.
