Ok guys...the rumors I have heard are this...AMW HAS been approached by WWE. However there is a similar problem that AMW has with WWE-similar to the AJ Styles problem...NOT ENOUGH MONEY!!! They want to work AMW to death and pay them actually less PER WEEK plus they have to work FOUR TIMES AS HARD.
Right now, AMW is weighing both sides. However, in interviews about a year and 1/2 ago BOTH Harris and Storm said that if WWE did make them an offer that they wouldn't take it...goes back to the WCW days when both men had just signed contracts and WWE refused to take in both men at the time.
When Mike Tenay was on Wrestling Observer's talk show this past week he did discuss this. He said that the WWE did speak to AMW and make them an offer but AMW re-signed with TNA after consideration. My guess is that Tenay would be a legit news source for something like this.
WWE may offer more money but their wrestlers still have to pay for travel expenses from my understanding. I believe they don't pay for the overseas trips though. Regardless if you consider how much they travel that "big" paycheck in the end really doesn't end up being that big afterall. I remember reading somewhere recently (probably PWI around the time they were discussing the Diva competition) about the starting salary of most wrestlers for the WWE and it was NOT a 6 figure salary.
