    the Begginers get to take 80,000 dollars a month. People Like Hogan gets 300,000 dollars a month + 300,000 dollars each time he appears. and HBK Gets also 300,000 a month.

    I am quite Sure because I had an Wrestling managing game which has real facts.

    If you have Smackdown vs Raw 2006, and you play General Manager Mode, when you sign a wrestler, or renew a contract, it tells you how a wrestler gets paid weekly, in months or in a year depending on popularity. Like Triple HHH gets paid 200,000 per month, 450,000 for three months, 720,000 for six months, 1,345,000 for 9 months and 2,000,000 per year

    when wrestling was really hot between 1995 and 2001, they made good money

    now they make around 2 mil a year, depending on who u r

    It is what everybody else said for the most part. Depending on the contract, high 5 to 6 plus figures... depending on longevity and talent.

    This does not include merchandise (t-shirts, dvds, etc), which is where a lot of them make their money.

    Another thing to consider is if they are acting in tv/movie roles (i.e. kane, cena, austin, etc). They more than likely get a cut of box office and sales of their movies on dvd. Endorsements too (John Cena on subway for example).

    i read a special edition blog on wwe.com about a year or two back, stating that a low/mid carder will earn a fixed 6 figure salary a year, regardless.

    but main eventers earn a 6 to 7 figure salary per year, with added bonuses for competing at PPV's.

    on top of amounts stated above, a superstar also gets 10% of his or her merchandise sales eg. t-shirts, posters, masks and figures.

    i hope this helps!

    They don't publicly disclose those numbers, but their salaries are based off of performance, popularity and t-shirt sales.

    Mick Foley, in his most recent book, said that he has a cushy contract that allows him limited matches and six figures.

    Jeff Jarrett, on his way out of WWE to WCW a few years back, got paid $250,000 for one pay per view match outside his contract, according to Chyna's book.

    According to Brock Lesnar interviews, he walked away from guaranteed six (possibly seven) figures to try the NFL.

    I know this isn't specific, but I hope it helps.

    Depends on who you are. Depending on whether you are at the bottom tier, you'll get around 75,000 a year, while the bigger stars will get over 1 million a year.
