Some major WWE names are cleaning up, it seems.

Lots of money going out the door to these guys. o.o

Supreme Olajuwon 12-22-2011 04:57 PM

Damn, Booker making $800K to be the #3 announcer. That ain't bad.

Iop 12-22-2011 04:58 PM

Booyaka Booyaka, underpaid!

lol seriouasly thought Rey made more then that

Surprised to see Show so high too

Aguakate 12-22-2011 05:00 PM

Booker T as an announcer makes more than Rey Mysterio lol

Xero 12-22-2011 05:00 PM

Show is still making a million a year? I thought they pushed down his earnings.

Wonder what Henry's getting.

If Punk isn't on this list, it means he made less than the $700,000 Mysterio made?

Anybody Thrilla 12-22-2011 05:02 PM

Khali was a great investment.

Xero 12-22-2011 05:03 PM

Well, his new contract kicked in in July. So that's only about half his earnings from that. Wouldn't be surprised if he was only making 500-600k before. So it makes sense.

I'd guess he's on at least $800k a year now. I wonder if merch sales are factored into this?

As well as those "performance bonuses" the guys get for Summerslam and WrestleMania (at least). I've read that the top guys get anywhere from $40,000 to $80,000.

I can't believe Kane is one of the highest paid wrestlers or that he was born in Spain.

Didn't know that. He should speak Spanish as part of his "new" gimmick.

And wear a sombreror and have a siesta in the middle of a match

Xero 12-22-2011 05:11 PM

The Kane in Spain beats mostly on the Shane.

This list was full of shit last year and is shit now. I don't know where they get their data, but it's lazy or just made up.

Cool King 12-22-2011 05:33 PM

I found it funny that I clicked the link, being genuinely interested to see who's making the most, and the first thing I see when the window opens is Triple H's face looking right back at me.

He was telling you "You're doubting I'm not the guy who makes the most?"

Droford 12-22-2011 05:38 PM

How the hell did Booker only make $375,000 in 2006...that was his best year in the WWE.

LOL, Felix Anthony. I have a new idea for a shirt for WM 28.

FakeLaser 12-22-2011 06:49 PM

WWE SUPERSTARS ARE THE 1%

VSG 12-22-2011 06:50 PM

What are you doing in here?

Mr. Nerfect 12-23-2011 10:41 PM

I want to know how much Ricardo Rodriguez makes as Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer. :shifty:

Dirk Ziggler 12-23-2011 11:38 PM

Why the hell is Khali 4th?

Juan 12-23-2011 11:57 PM

Think about it

Does WWE have a "minimum salary" for wrestlers? If so, well...that's what he makes, I'd guess.

Which is much more than any of us make, so...he's not doing bad at all.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-24-2011 10:52 AM

Wretler?

I wouldn't fully trust this website it looks like shit.

RiX1024 12-24-2011 11:35 AM

I wonder do wrestlers get extra if they hold a belt?

Xero 12-24-2011 11:42 AM

The WWE and World Heavyweight Champions get perks, like first class flying. Other than that, I don't think so. Depends more on how often they're used than if they hold a title.

I've heard Bret Hart say that back in the day, it WAS like that, the World Champion would be the highest-paid guy.

Not anymore, though.

According to www.shitijustmadeup.wordpress.com , Johnathan Coachman still makes 11,000,000 bucks a year from WWE despite being on ESPN now.
