I found this video, in-which 10 wrestlers are alleged to have profited more post-WWE than they did during their peak in WWE.

Going by the match frequency and the charge-per-appearance some of those guys do, it seems feasible those listed are commanding a higher hourly wage -- but not annual total wages.

For instance, Ryback charges at-least $4,500 per appearance.

If he were to wrestle a schedule comparable to what he had done in WWE, then he'd be earning:

$4,500 * 200 matches = $900,000, which would be comparable to his WWE salary.

However, Ryback wrestles about one-fifth of his WWE schedule, which reduces his annual earnings to $180,000.

What I'm saying is that some of the claims in the video seem ill-supported.
