:greedy:

I found that really interesting. I like how Lillian Garcia earned more than some wresters in that time.lol
Some of the long term guys must be rolling in it!

 

[Travis40]

God damn, Lawler gets all the expenses and makes 204 K a year and he's just an announcer? :dunno: that's fucked up right there.

 

[Ed_cena]

I dont remember where I read it, but right now cena is the highest-paid wrestler in the world.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Well, apparently Triple H makes more money than him. Lol, use of the private company jet.

Also, I can't believe Kane makes that amount of money, probably for all the years he has given to the company.

 

[Ed_cena]

yeah, i think that the top 5 is hhh, cena, taker, hbk and batista.

 

[NinoBrown]

I've seen this before but I never noticed how much Shelton Benjamin was making.

 

[Ed_cena]

yeah me too, I've seen this before, this is from october 2004 - febraury 2006.

 

[Kaedon]

where did you get this from?

 

[vickymania]

yeah,right..would like to know where you got this info from..cause i knew Cena and HHH were the highest paid guys..

 

[Montana]

God damn, Lawler gets all the expenses and makes 204 K a year and he's just an announcer? :dunno: that's fucked up right there.

Jerry Lawler has been with the company over ten years, and on top of that, he's sort of a legend in this business. (hall of famer) Put Memphis wrestling on his back. I think his pay is fair.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

This definetely has to have been changed. John Cena recently signed a new 10 year contract and you can only believe his salary was raised, as well for Mark Henry. There are also missing Jeff Hardy,MVP and CM Punk(because of the time).

And I also would asume that Batista, Orton, Kennedy and Edge have to be making more money now.

 

[the dark knight]

been posted before in the street fight..

 

[Conc3pt]

Matt Striker: $43,000

He could probably make more actually being a teacher.

 

[Rawkus Keyes]

Triple H has it made and he isn't even the best wrestler in wwe. Guess that's the benefit of being stephanie's bitch.

 

[NYKings]

^^ You don't have to always be the best to make the most money. Michael Vick, at one point, was the highest paid QB in the NFL. He can't even play in the same league as a Manning or Brady.
