I played football with him for 3 or 4 years when we were younger! Now he just signed a 8 million dollar contract with the WWE

damn wish i hung out with him more often!

**Timm1704** · 06-18-2006, 04:50 PM

he hasnt signed for 8 million dollars bro, he still will be earning well for sure, but not even the top end guys are on an 8 million dollar contract. still pretty cool tho eh? i hope the guys i went to school with will be saying the same thing about me one day lol

SVTMuscle* · 06-18-2006, 04:59 PM

well not 8 mill a year, its over like..... 5 years im guessing

Cool.

**biglouie250** · 06-19-2006, 08:09 AM

HAHAHA THATS GREAT. small world, ive met his partner mikey before. he is/was friends with one of my buddies who is a wrestler. they were in the same indy wrestling fed. funny shit.

**tranzit** · 06-19-2006, 09:15 AM

Id be willing to bet he isnt making 200k a year let alone 8 mill over 5 years. Whoever told you he is making that much cash is full of shit.

**SwoleCat** · 06-19-2006, 09:26 AM

8 million?

Take away 7.9 million and some change.

~SC~

**Timm1704** · 06-19-2006, 10:09 AM

yeah not sure where he got 8 millioj from. the big show got a 10 million dollar deal, over 10 years, and that was an extraordinary amount for WWE to pay someone. so as if they would be paying members of the spirit squad that amount. he is likely on far less that $500,000 PA

**stayinstacked** · 06-19-2006, 10:31 AM

I know a guy personally who was in the WWE for about 8 years. He wasnt as big a name as Triple H or anything, but he was well known. He was featured in video games, had his own action figures, etc etc. and he wasnt even breaking 160k/yr, w/ the endorsements for the games and clothing and dolls, etc it pushed him over 200k/yr but not much more. These guys arent making what you think they are, they dont make bad money, but for what they put their bodies through and the lifestyle they have to live, it's rough bro. 8 million is bullshit, definitely bullshit. And the way the WWE is going now, I doubt anybody new will hang around for more than a few years. Where else are they going to go if they dont like something about the WWE? Nobody that will pay them any better, thats for sure

**anaBROLIC** · 06-19-2006, 10:35 AM

i wonder what like hogan was making, he seems like hes got a pretty good amount of doe, i was watching his show lastnight, he said at some point he was wrestling 400 matches in a year.. wow..

**Timm1704** · 06-19-2006, 10:56 AM

you will get the odd exception, such as hogan, austin, the rock, they were raking it in, from merchandise, promotions, advertisements, dvds, figures etc, ontop of an already-hefty salary from their WWE contract.

SVTMuscle* · 06-19-2006, 11:07 AM

I'm just saying what his girlfriend told me who i know pretty well. I actually took her to my freshman formal dance back in high school haha

**Rob** · 06-19-2006, 12:15 PM

i wonder if you chose your own persona

you gotta chose somethign that definitly seperates you from the rest...every wrestler are basically the same...same attitude etc.

**Bigmax** · 06-19-2006, 01:04 PM

The man isnt making more than 100,000 yet ..he was just bought from WWE camp recently.Theer havent been many who make millions from vince trust me.In fact many of them Timm said all together with mercandising and marketing...some do have stock which was an option at on time but isnt available anymore.There have a several instances in which wrestlers made 1 mil. for a match...that hogan and warrior match....also jeff jarrett held vince up once at a pay per view and wouldnt do a important match against china unless there was half million dlloars depited in his account before he made his entrance.

**cfiler** · 06-19-2006, 01:15 PM

Call him up, and ask him if he could float you a little forgivable loan? Since you used to be buddies and such.

(Then give me 10% for giving you the idea, I accept WU payments

)

i highly doubt it, im sure they have a writing staff that is constantly making up new charecters

and like I said, I didnt ask him personally how much he makes it was 2nd hand info his gf told me.. i dont even talk to him besides messages here and there on myspace.

**anaBROLIC** · 06-19-2006, 02:36 PM

They come around once in a while but usually only when someone dies.

**Motion** · 06-20-2006, 08:22 AM

Spirit Squad is so ghey.

Definitely not 8 mil either, the top end guys barely break the 7 figure mark.

A) Who cares if its a gay group, he headlines one of the largest watched TV shows in the nation... do you?

Well its entertainment. And they needed a new/different group of young, good looking guys so they decided to make a 'cute' group for them I guess

i personally think its a very fresh gimmick, and afew of them will likely break off and head into decent careers. put it this way, i bet they are having alot of fun acting like that on TV

A group of guy cheerleaders? Fresh? Well its different thats for sure. I just think its annoying how its always 5 on 1 or 2. But thats all in the writing. I'm sure they will branch off once the storyline has run its course. They are all great athletes, thats for sure.

Web Developer. I'm sorry but wearing tights and wrestling other men is pretty much textbook homosexuality. Gay in the truest sense of the word!

Edit: I should add that if the wrestling was REAL it would be a lot less gay. Then it would actually be a competition. Too bad the whole thing is staged. In effect, it is gay roleplaying. Nothing wrong with it, just admit that it is what it is.

your entitled to your opinion, and nothing anybody says to you in defense of pro wrestling will change your mind. but, let me say, there is not a gay fibre in my body or mind, nothing turnms me on in a sexual way when it comes to wrestling, and ive based my whole life around it pretty much.

I was just clowning, mang.

Still, wrestling originated as a sport where two naked men (often homosexual) would wrestle for dominance. The modern version of wrestling is STILL homoerotic, there is no denying it. Hell, professional bodybuilding could be viewed, quite easily, as homoerotic as well. The difference is male bodybuilders don't roll around with each other... at least in public.
