WWE Profits and Wrestler pay scales

[Dave Youell]

Something I don't understand

WWE just released it's quarter year profits for Q1 and announced it was it's best financial Q1 results ever.

Yet at the same time, I'm lead to believe that the pay scale for the wrestlers is pretty darn low compared to that of the attitude era, because there wages are based on the house shows which generally have a lower turnout than they used to.

That's pretty shitty from a morale POV, I mean, you're working for a company that's making more money than ever, yet you are making considerably less than a guy doing the same job as you are from 8 years ago
