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).

Nice Find.

[Don Jacob]

you'd kinda expect them to make more money because they're on tv, but i guess that goes to show you, not everyone who's on TV is a millionare

[acbaylove]

Damn HHH!

[westkoastanostra]

so the game's the highest paid wrestler in wwe? no surprise....

[eS El Duque]

[-Euthanasia-]

big shows gettin a mil?!?! i better stop fast-forwarding his matches, he must be good

[Trauma-san]

Doesn't that make you full of shit then, Perfection?  Weren't you last month going on and on about how no female wrestler makes over a hundred grand blah blah blah, we kept telling you Trish Stratus made well over that, and you wouldn't believe it.  I didn't KNOW the numbers, but it's good to know that facts once again back up my basic common sense. 

[-Euthanasia-]

i cant believe they paid Cena more than guys like Rey, Benoit and Eddie

They make tons of money off of Cena because of merchandise. That's why he makes so much because Cena's merchandise is some of the top sellers in the WWE. Cena's very big with the women & children demographic.

HHH is the highest paid WWE superstar & Maria is the lowest paid superstar. I wonder who HHH had to slepp with to get that kind of money, oh wait nevermind.

Actually that was quite a long time ago. Last month I showed how much of an idoit you are when you kept saying Stacy got into the wrestling business becuase she had an interest in wrestling. I proved you wrong, you stop replying & then in a different thread say how Stacy never got into the wrestling business for wrestling. So you say a lot of crap so until to make a good point, I'm not going to response to your comments cause they tend to be pretty stupid. Like what you said about WWE signing Candice to a contract because of the GoDaddy.com commericals even though she was under contract 2-4 months before that commerical aired.

[Sikotic™]

So basically, seniority and your importance to the company determine your salary....with a few exceptions of course. The ones that get their tickets and hotels paid for have it the best.

Also, with HHH, he has a tour bus he travels with in addition to the jet rides. So much for being one of the boys lol

You're a fucking liar.  Find me 1 quote of mine where I said Stacy got into the wrestling business to wrestle.  I never said it... and you just said I did.  You're lying.  Admit you're a liar, and apologize for having the audacity to link you and I as fellow liars.  Candice already had the GoDaddy deal and was already shopping actress jobs around when WWE hired her.  Again you don't know what you're talking about, and again admit that you were wrong about the Salary thing.  BOW DOWN BITCH
