[FranKieC]

[THE_DOME]

[big L 17]

[hardgainer12]

what about the rock when he was big? if HHH is getting 2 mill, then the rock has got to be getting more

[BG]

Hard job, none stop, would love to see actually how many matchs and appearances per that year.

[salmon1]

what about the rock when he was big? if HHH is getting 2 mill, then the rock has got to be getting more

Stone Cold Steve Austin had to have been up there also

[stuball]

what about the rock when he was big? if HHH is getting 2 mill, then the rock has got to be getting more

Didnt HHH marry Stephanie ???

[cfiler]

I wonder what Hulk Hogan's salarie was? It must have been alot...

Or any of the larger wrestlers that WWF got rid of during the steroid scandal, and moved to WCW.

[GUnit33]

Goldberg's had to have been kick ass...you ever see his car tv show?

[chest6]

ahh Triple H ahh

[kloter1]

william regal...how is that pussy in the wwe?

[donniebrasco]

thats not as much as i thought they where getting, especially as thats us $, i nearly get paid the same as some of them. i thought wrestling was huge over in the us of a.

[NightTrain]

id gladly take thier paychecks in a swap.......

[Superhuman]

thats not as much as i thought they where getting, especially as thats us $, i nearly get paid the same as some of them. i thought wrestling was huge over in the us of a.

damn, what the hell do you do? Some of these guys are making up to 2 million dollars a year - last time I checked that was alot of money

[SVTMuscle*]

I think thats false. They make a bit more. I know for a fact that my friend Kenny of the 'Spirt Squad' signed a $3,000,000 (3) year contract.

[donniebrasco]

yeah, but some are at $100.000 and some at $40.000.
i thought that they got paid loads, like uk footballers who get upto £120,000 a week ( notice pounds not dollars ), or other sports dudes ie schumacher at got knows what.

[Flagg]

I've seen that on a wrestling forum before and it's VERY old...half the wrestlers on that list dont work for WWE anymore and Eddie Guerrero is dead. Though I wouldn't be surprised that John Cena, Undertaker and Triple H are the three top earners.

[PROTEINSHAKE]

thats BS. I have become good friends w maven huffman in the past few months & those salaries are total BS there are a few that are close & there are more that are ridiculous.

[SVTMuscle*]

thats BS. I have become good friends w maven huffman in the past few months & those salaries are total BS there are a few that are close & there are more that are ridiculous.

most of them make alot more than that. considering the life they have to put up with, it takes alot more than $75,000 to be on the road 70% of the year and live in a bus

[Slick Arrado]

I believe Hogan and Flair were raking in $7mil/year during their marketing prime.

[ACpower]

Batista dont even make a mil damn I would think he would be up there wit HHH and cena

[stayinstacked]

actually, some of those salaries are more than I expected

[biglouie250]

over paid. so sick. john cena makes 1.7 million.....5x what david wright makes and he plays a real sport that has meaning.

[rar1015]

Thats such crap that they get paid so much. The real fighters in pride and UFC should be making that much. These guys go out and kick the absolute shit out of eachother and dont get paid half of what the wwe guys get for faking half of the shit they do.

[stuball]

Dont you guys get it, its not a sport, its entertainment that 8 year old's watch and it produces billions of dollars, they make the company money so why shoudnt the get paid, they do bust there as$es every time they go out there... I pay my employes well cause they make me money, the ones that are lazy get what they deserve. min. wage..And do you think any event the UFC OR PRIDE can sell out the silverdome ??? I do think they are under paid but thats the choice they made..

[notorious_mem]

i would like to see their per-deim and benefit package

[cfiler]

I wonder what the salories were like for the wrestlers who changed from WWF to WCW after that steroid deal? When all the larger wrestlers left, and Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels become the bigger stars for WWF.

[SVTMuscle*]

Thats such crap that they get paid so much. The real fighters in pride and UFC should be making that much. These guys go out and kick the absolute shit out of eachother and dont get paid half of what the wwe guys get for faking half of the shit they do.

Because they are entertainers not fighters. Thats why Tom Cruise makes $5409343509 a year but Ronnie Colman makes $1,500,000 a year

[Doc.Sust]

i dont think (the average wrestler)they get paid enough, their bodies get mangled

[l2elapse]

it is brutal on the body

[JamieStyles]

Thats such crap that they get paid so much. The real fighters in pride and UFC should be making that much. These guys go out and kick the absolute shit out of eachother and dont get paid half of what the wwe guys get for faking half of the shit they do.

watch an old school ecw match, those guys go threw hell. even in the wwe they go threw hell like every other night.

Yeah but if take a baseball player who makes 2 million and divide that by 164 games (sorry, I am not a baseball fan so the number of games is only a guess) that would be about $12,200 per game. Many wrestlers make appearance 4-6 nights a week and assuming they get 2 months off a year for vacation, that is 2 million divided by about 160 to 240 appearances. So that would be about $8000 and some change per appearance. Keep in mind that that is the franchise "player." Consider a douche bag like Funaki, who no one knows and appears all the time for peanuts...and he he gets mangled. That sucks. Keep in mind also, that McMahon is a dick about health care for his guys. When Mark Henry's petella was mashed and mangled, McMahon didn't foot the entire bill.

[Panzerfaust]

Who would want to be on the road 300+ days a year and made to wrestle injured etc all the time? **** that.

[donniebrasco]

who gives a sh1t. wrestlings FAKE. lol
