Thats a good link. However I'm curious, it seems like salaries aren't that much different than they were ten even fifteen years ago. If I remember correctly, in one of Nash & Hall's shoot vids for RF they were talking about payscales in the early 90's.... they specifically mentioned I believe it was Summerslam or Survivor Series where they made 35,000 each for the show, and HBK made 50,000 for the show. And that was what circa 1994? And thats just one PPV...

So you'd have to assume that salaries have gone up substantially since then...

something to consider is that even back in 1994 the WWF faced competition from WCW which meant they had to pay competitive salaries to keep the top talent around.

today, WWE has no viable competition so the wrestlers don't get that luxury.
