money?

[wag2k]

i have just been reading the thread on brock and a lot of it seems to be about money.
how much money does a wrestler make in a year?
i know it depends on his card status so lets take it on the three levels: -

low card ?
mid card?
main eventers ?

anyone know???

Hope that helps.

Wait, how is Mark Henry even a mid carder, and how the fuck does Big Show earn that much?

[Triple A]

i think that was posted back in like 2000 or 99

[Watson]

Yeah it's a little outdated as far as the wrestlers mentioned goes, but it still gives you an idea of about how much they make at different levels of the card.

Austin-1999-$6.mill- :drool:

Cool, thanks. I've always wondered that myself, and people who don't watch wrestling sometimes ask me what different people get paid and I'm always like..."uh...well...I don't know"

[The CyNick]

Those figures are out of whack. You have to remember when those numbers were reported there was still a WCW around, and Vince had to pay guys a lot more. Now, the guys have no other options, so he can low ball them all. I would guess the only guys making a million dollar guarantee would be Trips, obviously, probably Taker and maybe Angle. That would be it. But with bonuses and everything they can make a lot more.

1 mil a year for the big show??? WTF?

BTW thanks for the link - i had no idea they were on so much

[Stickman]

How did Ken Shamrock get that much? Yeah he was good, but never a world champ.

Oh I got a question too. Do world champions actually make a lot of money (like a bonus or something) or is that just a line they use to make it look like everybody wants to be the champ?

[Boondock Saint]

I keep reading that they get bonuses for appearing on Wrestlemaina PPVs, but I've wondered is that for every PPV or just Manias?

[mrslackalack]

Flair said in his book that at one point in WCW 24 wrestlers got paid more than him including Scott Norton!!!!!!!

[James Steele]

There were alot of "WTF?" things in WCW that you find out about.


Like, did you know that "WCW WorldWide" actually exsisted and didn't always suck.

I remember staying up late and the local ABC affiliate had WCW WorldWide on at like 3 in the morning. It usually sucked, but they usually had one good cruiser match.

...how the fuck does Big Show earn that much?

He signed a ten-year contract back around 96 or whenever, when Vince thought he was going to be a permanent main eventer.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: at Vince over <i>that</i> one.
