what are the pay differences between wwe and tna?

Answer 1

Nobody's know that. But it must be pretty huge. TNA made an offer to Y2J after he received the one from the WWE and said that it tought it was a joke.

Answer 2

I know TNA doesn't pay even close to what the WWE pays but the in TNA they are not on the road near as much.
I'd say for the average mid card wrestler the pay is about $15,000 - $20,000 less with TNA than it would be for the WWE. But again you work less and can take bookings for other places if you want to work more.
So they can make up part of that money but I'm sure not all of it.
Yes there is a huge difference for the TOP stars but not that big for mid carders.

Answer 3

Well WWE pay their top superstars a seven figure sum and TNA do the same for their top guys.

Answer 4

pay difference between contracts are huge....dixie carter offered y2j only 300,000 to come to tna...while vince offered y2j 1.2 million to come back to wwe....same with other stars...the biggest star yet is psycho sid...tna has offered him multiple contracts ranging from 200,000-300,000 but he keeps declining them because him and the wwe are still negotiating a contract for roughly 600,000....wwe has tons of money to throw at there wrestlers if they want them to stay or come in....sting was offered a new contract by tna officials and it was around 600,000 but i think we might be seing sting in the wwe be wm24 if vince throws the right amount in his face....

Answer 5

ALOT. TOP 5 STARS IN WWE MAKE OVER A MILLION AND I DONT THINK ANYONE IN TNA MAKES OVER 800,000. WHILE SOME OF THE GUYS IN TNA ARE MAKIN LESS THAN 100,000.

Answer 6

Well the difference is a lot. But it also depends on the wrestler.

This came from http://forum.santabanta.com/archive/index.htm?t-449.html.

Ok, so this has been floating around the net, and it is 100% legit. Just gives us an indication as to how much these guys are on. For wrestling fans like myself, you will find it interesting. For people who arent bothered by wrestling still might find it interesting. And for those people who take the piss out of it and make fun of it calling it fake etc etc, i say this, i bet some of those figures are more than youll earn in a lifetime!

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. 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). All dollar amounts were rounded up/down (Example: $244,766 would be $245,000)
