Ok i have seen questions like this over the site. But lets be real for a second. No wrestler makes as little as 300k. Wrestlers make more than 5Million a year minimum i think. I think they get as much as nfl/nba players or even more think about it. They fight for than 100 Times a year (most of em). WWE is a MULTI BILLION dollar company lets be really. No wrestler in my opinon has lesS than 5 Million in the bank. If you think a wrestler makes as much as a plumber than ur crazy. WWE has a shitload of fans and they also sell stuff online. No im just voicing my opinon. Plz let me know how much u think wrestlers make and please site your sorces.

5 Million may seem alot to you cuz u dont have it. But someone who is popular on tv and wrestles each week and puts body on the line. Thats like average to them. I dont see how u can appear on tv every week and make 75K makes no sense @ JHMHSI... Yea velocity, or heat superstars im not considering. But smackdown wrestlers and raw wrestlers are the ones i am questioning.

Wrestlers do make millions if they are famous. But what about those who do not make it big? Just like the ordinary plumber I should think.

None of the wrestlers make $5 million a year. Not even HHH makes that much and he's the son in law, lol. There are about 100 wrestlers or so that make 6 or 7 figure salaries. The middle class make a 5 digit salary, which is another 100 or so. The rest, the ones we seldom see or never see, are lucky to make a few hundred bucks per match, plus they have to pay for everything themselves, have no benifits and no 'real' contract. If you're not a 'show stopper', you don't make much.

HA! Are you kidding me?! 5 million is a LOT of money for a wrestler. Actually, it's a lot of money PERIOD! Only the top tier wrestlers make that much (John Cena, Triple H, etc.). The low-card wrestlers (ones that only appear on Velocity or Heat or occasionally RAW and SmackDown!) make around $75,000/year. The rising newbies on RAW and SD! make around $150,000 to $250,000/year, and the mid-card regulars make around $250,000 to $500,000 (most wrestlers we see make this amount). You're freaking CRAZY if you think all wrestlers make 5 million/year. Wrestlers do NOT make as much as other sports stars do. Unfair? Yes, but it's nice to know that they're still wrestling despite the lower pay, which I can assume is because they actually love the sport unlike some other sports stars who are only in it for the money.
You OBVIOUSLY know NOTHING about money because you are overestimating WAAAAAAAAAAY too much. Look at the facts. I can tell you right now that the statistics are much more reliable than your "opinions."

I think the 5 million dollar a year range is pushing it, even for the superstars. A lot of it depends on how popular they, how often they are used, and what can of perks they have. They probably make some more doing personal appearances, commercials, or appearing in movies or TV shows, and things like that.

they have downside guarantee which could be as low as 50,000 a year. that is what they make if they get hurt in their first match with the company and hurt for the length of the contract. they also make bonus for their character takes off , DVD sales and other related merchise sales like t-shrits and hats.i heard the guy who made the most for a year in the wwe was stone cold. he made about 15-20 million back in 1998 or 1999.but there is wrestlers like hulk hogan who get paid by the show. he made 2 million for a wrestlemania

OK, but you have to realize that if there are 10,000 wrestlers in America now only a hundred or so of them are making real money. The rest of them are trying to make it in the big times and these days it takes a whole lot more than just wrestling skills to be in the WWE.

i think 5 million may be pushing it. I always heard that wrestlers are very underpaid, unless they are a super-star
