WWE wrestlers salaries

[fryKing]

these make sense to me. HHH makes the most becaue he's married to the bosses daughter. Undertaker makes the second most because he's been around forever. He also probably works the lightest schedule of any major wrestler. Cena makes a lot because he's their newest "star" and sells a ton of merchandise, has a record album, etc.
The salaries are lower than you might think in general, because there's no other wrestling company that's competition, and also business has been down the last 4 or 5 years. The company itself is fairly profitable despite that because they have been able to keep costs down.

In "the good old days", I would guess Steve Austin made closer to $10m/year in around 99-2000.
