I read somewhere (can't remember where) that HHH is the highest paid wrestler in WWE earning about $2,100,000 a year and get's all his travel expences paid. But the lower card wrestlers and even people like Rey Mysterio and Ric Flair get paid like $500,000-$1,500,000 a year which isn't that much considering the risk they take. They also have to pay all their own travel exspenses, except when they're travelling internationally. They're also away from their homes and families 300 days a year. Some of the ECW wrestlers only get about $75,000 a year. Also alot of them have (non steroid related) problems later on in life like arthritis. So do you think they should get paid more? I'm sure WWE could afford to pay them a few thousand more.

Vince is rich but he's not stupid he wouldn't give away that sort of monaay to each wrestler Triple H Is the highest paid wrestler of all time..... from the year 1998 to 2002 he was making 12 million a year.. The Rock was making 9 million a year. GoldBerg was making 7 million a year in WCW. And started making 3 million a year in WWE. Stone Cold was making 10 million but only while he was champion he regulary made 6 million. John Cena is making 5 million a year regardless. 1. Triple H - 12 Million 2. The Rock - 9 Million 3. GoldBerg - 7 Million 4. StoneCold - 6 Million 5. John Cena - 5 Million

Considering what they do for a living that's a decent amount of money. Have you ever thought about the people with occupations that save/protect people? They don't get that kind of money per year so why the hell should some moron dressed in tights that can't act be paid wages like that? It's ludicrous what people in show biz make, who the hell needs to pull in 25 million a movie? It's sickening and pathetic that we value acting abilities more than we value people who risk their own lives only to make ours better, and they make s**t money doing it.

They get paid more than you and me!! That's still a lot of money. It's about passion and that's what they want to do. To entertain the fans. It's not about the money.

their travel expenses are paid ie airfare and hotel but rental cars and etc are out of pocket, even the low entry level wrestlers make good money as far as i'm concerned 750 a week is damnn good pay

Bret hart had a 7 million dollar contract. Look at Hogan he get like half a million or so just for showing up and fighting once a year. Dont forget the top guys get cuts from merchandise and the PPV and ect ect. Its always more than just the salaries.

The WWE has the right to control the salaries of its talent.
No one puts a gun to anyone's head and asks them to perform 300 days a year.

Actually, that's a lot of money considering how stupid they're chosen career is. And how untalented they actually have to be to work in the WWE industry. Yuck.

I guess that's why the Rock left to Hollywood.
