post your thoughts on their salaries

Oh my, I do wonder why Hunter is the only guy who gets to ride the company jet....

Where did you find these?

someone got them from the data base

:shifty:

- Bob Holly: $217,000

:wtf:

- Christian - $396,000

Christian was in the negative? LOL

Do this number reflect the money they get from royalties...it wasn't very clear on that.

RVD sure didn't get a lot...

Why would Jonathan Coachman make more then Funkai? Coach sucks and Funaki is NUMBER ONE ANNOUNCER!

Funaki doesn't get a pay check. Vince sees him in the locker room and thinks he's homeless and throws some change at him.

Since he does this quite a few times per event, it adds up.

Kid Kash: $62,000


Ouchhhhhh...

- Trevor Murdoch: $48,000

Damn

That's probably more than he made in TNA.

For what Big Show does, I think he's rather overpaid.

And poor Bobcore. He should be making at least 500,000 a year for dealing with various pushes that go nowhere, being buried, and taking it like a champ for a million years.

He got a sweet 10 year deal back 99. if he was to re-sign, trust me it'd be lower

Jesus Christ.

HHH makes the most, Undertaker makes the second highest.

The different between their pay is nearly 200,000, which is more than most of the lower roster makes, and near what some mid carders make.

WOW, that Daivari is very generous. He doesn't even get paid.

- Batista: $813,000 (First class flight tickets paid for every week)
- Eddie Guerrero: $372,000

:wtf:

Well this shows us that at least WWE isn't QUITE at the level of WCW yet. Nowhere on that list do I see them paying Scott Hall assloads of money to NOT show up on their programming.

Hogan was making north of 11 millions dollars a year in WCW...trust me, WWE is light years from over paying on the level of WCW.

Since when does a wrestler like Kid Kash get paid less than Candice Michelle who brags that she has never once had any in-ring training?



Oh, and the list is forgetting someone:

- Chloe: $0 (All food expenses paid, Constantly carried around pressed against the breasts of Torrie Wilson: free of charge.)
http://www.wwe.com/content/media/ima.../29272/1856664

....damn lucky dog.

Danny Basham: $130,000
Doug Basham: $126,000

I guess Danny got the slightly better negociating genes. :shifty:

Next year...

- Chloe #2: $2,051 (Burial of Chloe #1, all food expenses paid, constantly carried by Torrie Willson for fear of Viscera finding another "snack".)

Fucking hell, Triple H really doesn't deserve to be paid that much.

ROFL poor Kid Kash, he makes less than Candice.

Notice Vince isn't on there...

- Vince McMahon: $500,000,000 (Access to executive plane 24/7, all food, expenses, and realty charges for every city the WWE tours to. Triple H butt buddy on-call 24/7.)

- Edge: $704,000

Damn Edge does pretty well for himself

John Cena: $1,743,000 (First class flight tickets, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation paid for every week)

-- Just imagine how much they'd pay him if he DIDN'T get booed out of the building and admit to sucking ass in the middle of the ring live on Raw

Helms makes less than Snitsky. :nono:

- Gene Snitsky: $292,000

What the fuck?

He doesn't have his plane tickets and hotels paid for though, so that takes a bit out.

Vince:OK will pay you a lot but you have to walk from town to town and sleep in the park

Not his fault he's a good negotiator.

...with a ho.

Edge:do I have to bone her
Vince:yes yes you do
Edge:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well kid kash was a problem i say if he keeps clean his pay will go up. trevor the one that gets me 48,000 most of the divas are geting more then him who was his agent?

lol figures legend sucks

LOL Striker was probably earning more as a teacher.

WTF the fuck.

I'm somewhat dubious about the facts of that list. I just really struggle to believe that Snitsky makes nearly $300,000 a year.

Just realized that Cena makes more than triple what Benoit makes. :mad:

- Rene Dupree: $289,000

Woah

Vince likes big men. That's all you need to know.

I just wanna know why Shelton's pay and Eddie's pay are about the same.

I mean, it's a long shot.

That date range has to be wrong. Eddie died in October.

It could be budgeted figures. Or Eddie's royalties which must've been huge considering the amount of merchandise that was sold.

lol poor matt striker

Literally poor Matt Striker

I don't know how true or accurate this is.

Not to mention "spare change" in the Vinnie Mac library is 50 dollar bills.

I'd like to see asource, BTW

Pretty much what I expected. I heard some where that Rock was making 5 million a year in his prime

I heard Vampiro was making 32 million on the WCW buyout plan.

I think he deserves to be the highest paid wrestler in the company

- Ashley Massaro: $131,000

Didnt she win the 250,000 contest thing

Didn't read the fine print?

Where is all of this from anyway?

Dark-Slicer totally made it up.

I guess that run as Lita/Edge's bodyguard or whatever really paid off for Snitsky, and Trish gets 20% of the money based on merchandise sales? Why doesn't it mention Triple H getting 100% of what he makes based on merchandise sales?

No wonder he went to TNA. I think the WWE is superior and all, but even I wouldn't pay to work there.

At this point, you're probably right.

Kinda makes sense.

Melina is the face of MNM and does all thier talking and shit.

Kinda makes sense.

Melina is the face of MNM and does all thier talking and shit. Although she dosnt wrestle as much as the other two but since when does Vince care about wrestling.

Seek help, dude.

Shit like this gets printed every few months with no real correlation.

Hardcore Holly got paid 300,000 more than he should have.

Pepsi Man. :'(

shit forgot this was an old thread.

Edit: Pepsi man logged in after his death "12-09-2007"...possibly just someone using his computer.

does anyone know what the payrate is these days

I think he was fired one month into 2005 after he dropped the Crusierweight championship at Royal Rumble.

Wow, read through this entire thread without realising how old it was.

Does anyone know how WWE contracts come about? Does the wrestler have any say, or does WWE simply tell them a price, take it or leave it?

Kinda surprised at the Bashams getting two different deals.

This totally flew under the radar.

Jimmy Steele?

Why doesn't this board get rid of old threads? This thread is over four years old.

good job
