TNA pay rate
 
So I remember a year ago someone got some leaked financial records from Stamford and everyone's salary and perks (airfaire, hotel) was listed. Obviously TNA is a much smaller promotion but I was wondering what kind of pay these guys are receiving? Is sting getting 500K+ a year? are midcard and jobbers getting paid per appearance?

Theo Dious 02-28-2007 03:21 PM

Steiner gets paid in shots.

I'd like to see those WWE payrates. I've looked for them before but haven't found them. Do you have them?

Dorkchop 02-28-2007 04:30 PM

I believe a lot of mid card guys in TNA are paid per appearance.

Destor 02-28-2007 04:32 PM

Almost everyone in TNA gets paid per appeance. Only a hand full of wrestlers (their main event mostly,) have contracts.

The Ravishing One 02-28-2007 05:48 PM

Isn't that why they're cramming everybody in an hour show?

Dorkchop 02-28-2007 06:27 PM

I'm pretty sure, yes.

6to1 02-28-2007 06:46 PM

yea thats why russo went off spike wanted all the wrestlers to be on every show. yea i saw last years wwe paychart some of the divas were making more then some of the tag team wrestlers.

Jeritron 02-28-2007 06:48 PM

and that's why every wrestler in that lockeroom would rather be working a shitty gimmick and getting jobbed out on heat than main eventing TNA.
The almighty dollar.

Don't believe what Kurt says about it being the home of wrestling. Thats just his cover for leaving/being forced out of WWE. 98% of people in that goddamn lockeroom would take a WWE contract in a minute if they could.

i want to see this paychart.

Loose Cannon 02-28-2007 06:51 PM

if you're on camera for 10 seconds, you get $1000

30 seconds-1 minute $1500

1-5 minutes $2000

5-10 $2500

10 or more $5000

If your Jeff Jarret you get half of those guys's pay plus his million

If you're Kurt Angle you get paid in Gold.

Sadly some are more useful than tag team wrestlers.

Absolutely. They entertain, if only for looks. And they have a division. This is more than tag teams can say.

Jeritron 02-28-2007 08:08 PM

I don't know where to look. If anyone has any clue where it is I'd really like to see it. I'll rep whoever finds it to the moon

I wonder what Jericho was making.

The Genius 02-28-2007 08:31 PM

seriously though, here kurt angle is said to be making a little over a million a year but do you think he gets half of that in TNA?

I thought Angle's deal WAS a million dollar deal like Sting's.

If Sting is making more than Angle that's bullshit.

The One 02-28-2007 08:35 PM

Sting is $800,000/year.

I believe Kurt's is a million against % of merch or something like that...

Pepsi Man 02-28-2007 08:40 PM

Honestly, the way I read that, that was only their earnings between October and February.

6to1 02-28-2007 08:52 PM

i thought murdoch was the funny one he might as well go back to the indys

They pay by size of tits. That's why Flair gets so much. :shifty:

Funky Fly 03-01-2007 04:58 AM

Some people are pretty bad at negotiating. Striker, Murdoch and Kash...

Corkscrewed 03-01-2007 05:29 AM

Seriously... Striker's making as much as a regular teacher. :lol:

Hanso Amore 03-01-2007 07:42 AM

That is from a time when Striker and Murdoch hadnt worked a full year, only a few months. That is not their yearly pay, its what they had been paid at that point. Soem guy that came in in September cant be expected to get as much paid out as a full year, even if his yearly is more.

52 weekly checks > 12

Read the old posts.

King Steve 03-01-2007 07:46 AM

Torrie Wilson was overpaid. She's useless.

6to1 03-01-2007 09:50 AM

well kashs proplem was he had just burned his bridge with tna the way he left and was on probation with the wwe thats why he did not make more. big show only made a mil a year so that list is what they made a year.

Stickman 03-01-2007 03:04 PM

Undertaker is the second highest paid guy?
