Enigma Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 This was found at the DVD boards, but the poster said he found it on another, unnamed board. Should be interesting for discussion purposes. Below is the World Wrestling Entertainment talent roster payroll that was taken from October of 2004 until February of 2006. 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.

2GOLD Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 You can really tell the ones who signed during the boom period and those who signed recently.
Guest Coffey Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 They should give Maria more money because she's consistantly the best part of Raw.
Sideburnious Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Christian - $396,000 No wonder why he left, poor bastard owed them almost €400,000
Hawk 34 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I wonder why there's a small difference in Nitro/Mercury and The Bashams, respectively.
The Niggardly King Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 - Carlito: $319,000 - Chris Masters: $253,000
Cheech Tremendous Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 For some reason, I thought Mark Henry made a lot more than that.
Aero Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I'm surprised that Mysterio is only at 414,000.
Hawk 34 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I'm surprised that Mysterio is only at 414,000. He signed a small deal in 2002, that was below six figures. He makes up for it in other ways (i.e Merch)
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 - Rene Dupree: $289,000 I haven't even seen him in almost a year. Yet he's getting paid more than the tag team champions combined.
theintensifier Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Holy shit, I knew Vince loved Cena, but come on now.
The Niggardly King Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I thought Nova would be making Trevor Murdoch money.
Vern Gagne Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 For such a loyal worker, Holly's only making $217,000 without any of the added perks. Wonder what Trish makes yearly on her merchandise?
AndrewTS Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 "- Triple H: $2,013,000 (Allowed the personal use of company jet (10) times per year. First class flight tickets, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation paid for every week)" Triple H *is* the one making all the money. Damn. "Undertaker: $1,811,000 (First class flight tickets, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation paid for every week)" Wrestles....how many times per year?
NYU Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Trevor Murdoch must feel really awkward when everyone's opening their checks around him
buffybeast Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 What is the source of this information?
Vern Gagne Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 How many days a week does Jerry Lawler work?
MillenniumMan831 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Trevor Murdoch must feel really awkward when everyone's opening their checks around him I hope they're at least reimbursing him for the movie tickets so he can do his wwe.com Unlimited film reviews.
Guest Dam(o)nYankees Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 You would think Hunter would have unlimited use of the jet.
buffybeast Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 You would think Hunter would have unlimited use of the jet. He does if he is traveling with the Mcmahon family or with Stephy. Where does this info come from?
Guest lo0p Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Just out of curiosity does anyone know how much the rock and austin were getting a year during the peak years? And how much was Hogan making a year in the 80s? How much was Bret hart making in say, around 1994, and how much did WCW pay him when he signed with them?
razazteca Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Matt Striker: $43,000 Developmental deal? Damn he is making less than most of the Divas.
Lord of The Curry Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Flair sure does get a lot of money to go through the motions. Surprised at how much Benoit gets.
Boon Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 - Rob Van Dam: $220,000 (Only received downside and royalties due to injury) - Torrie Wilson: $260,000 Anybody see a problem with this?
Guest whizzo Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 . 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). Merchandise is included in that amount.
Guest Fook Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Just out of curiosity does anyone know how much the rock and austin were getting a year during the peak years? And how much was Hogan making a year in the 80s? How much was Bret hart making in say, around 1994, and how much did WCW pay him when he signed with them? I think I read somewhere that the Rock made around $4 million in 99-00, but I have no idea if that was legit. Bret's WCW contract was for $3 million a year. Trish Stratus: $618,000 (Receives 20% of all Trish Stratus merchandise sold) How much of merch sales do the wrestlers ususally get?
razazteca Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 - Rob Van Dam: $220,000 (Only received downside and royalties due to injury) - Torrie Wilson: $260,000 Anybody see a problem with this? no.
