WWE Salaries

what do you guys think?

The shown dollar amount beside each wrestler is the grand total that they earned from World Wrestling Entertainment in a one year period (downside guarantees, bonuses, and merchandise shares). Some wrestler's were given special privileges and bonuses in their contracts which can also be seen beside their total pay. All wrestler's contracts begin and end at different months of the year, there for each shown amount is what that particular wrestler earned in a 365 day time period between October 2004 and February 2006 (or however long they have been with the company).

Not bad ... considering how popular wrestling is and how much revenue they bring in. Some stars I thought would be worth more but even most of the "amatuers" or newbies in the industry are getting pretty good pay. Nice find! :thumbsup:
