They probably gets PPV and TV bonuses like the WWE gives out as well. AJ is near the top of the card most of the time so he probably gets a lot more than his base salary. Although if this is all he gets.... that's pretty sad all things considering.

Well, the WWF alumni get paid more makes sense. Former WWE guys could probably make a sizable amount of money on name recognition alone in the indies and international promotions, and TNA has to counter that. AJ Styles, doesn't have that. TNA has to promote him. They don't have to promote Booker T, they are paying for name recognition and fan base.
Gosh, when you think that Vince and TNA have spent about 1.4 Million dollars on Christy Hemme, wow, that's a lot of hot girls who can actually wrestle.
"Major pro wrestling promotions have spent about 2 million dollars on my services, find out why, next on TNA."

They work more dates now, but you don't include road expenses such as hotel, food, etc. If you're going to WWE, you're gonna want a contract starting in the $300,000 range as a guarantee, plus merch cuts. Anything lower than that and you're not making money.

Elix Skipper $45,000. The amount of time he's been there and that's all he's getting? I'll take that to never have to wrestle.

Robert Roode $90,000 (expected to rise) They better raise it, since he probably had a lot of losses at the stock market recently.[/kayfabe]

personally, I think some of those people are overpaid and others are underpaid.
Nash should be making more than that. He's been in this business a long time. He's a former multi-time world champion. He's wrestled all the big names. He needs to re-negotiate his contract. I mean seriously....look at what Sting is making. I'm not saying Nash is worth that, but Sting needs to take a paycut....by about $375,000.

Nash is fine where he is, he may be a veteran but he doesn't wrestle much or is on TV alot of the time.
But I agree with Sting he is making too much money...I don't get it...the guy is 50 years old and does f*** all and hes laying in the lap of luxury.

I don't usually believe most of these lists, since, well, they're often fake.
But even if they're true, they don't say whether or not they factor in things like merch sales or any pay they might get for doing promotional work.
But if what they're showing is a flat salary, then MOST of those are pretty reasonable. Reality is, the vets and recognizable faces are going to get the most cash. I also wouldn't be surprised if Angle DOES make close to a million, considering that he gets to work outside of TNA and do promotional work.

Unsure how true these are, but Christy probably gets the most for seniority. Either that, or like you say, she drives a hard bargain. I don't think I've ever seen a manager/valet make more money than the team she's managing. And I wish she'd drive MY hard bargain...

I'm surprised that at the amount that Nash makes. Methinks that he is considered to be a part-time wrestler.

So you take Christy's TNA salary (assuming that's real)...
Factor in the $250,000 that WWE paid her (as the Diva Search winner)....
She's made a crapload of money in the wrestling business for doing what she does!!! Which is of course looking hot. And she is in fact insanely hot, so she's at least good at it.
