these Superstars are all (ALL) paid in the milliins of US dollars in yearly salary. No they aren't. Currently there are less than TEN wrestlers in the company that make over a million dollars a year. A lot of the guys on the lower end of card are barely in the high 5-figures, much less 7. A Fandango or Tyler Breeze type can expect to make about $80,000 a year. Even Roman Reigns is only making about a quarter-million in salary. Also, knock off the condescending tone you're taking toward other posters, we don't put up with that shit here. As far as Cesaro goes (and looking around online, he has one of the lowest non-starting salaries of all wrestlers on the main shows), I can imagine he's legit pissed, even if the interview is a work. Dude's grabbed ring after ring only to have them cut it out beneath him for years, and now he has a massive group of "new" talent waiting to take his spot. He knows he's working on borrowed time now and if he doesn't get that break soon, he's not going to be around much longer.

Although I enjoyed your condesending "dude this isn't 1983" it's telling that you glossed over my point that these Superstars are all (ALL) paid in the milliins of US dollars in yearly salary. You have never worked for any company where the employees are literally the product themselves, so please don't use your own work history to compare yourself to a Superstar, it's laughable. Never mentioned my work history, you dont know my work history, didn't say anything condescending. Money's no reason to f*** with a person's private life. No, but the intoxicating feel of the power to control and destroy people's lives; the power to snatch away joy and deny them happiness, to watch them struggle and grovel at your feet? That's a reason. And it's Vince McMahon's FAVORITE reason.

Wait how did ADR's salary go from 1.5 to 2.9? This week was its turn. Next week "how much did Andre weigh when Hogan slammed him" goes up, and the following week we add two or three more guys to the group that beat up HBK in the parking lot. The fourth week, we just add or subtract a thousand people from some card's attendance results. If there's a fifth week to the month, we add another title reign to Jerry Lawler's currently-485 belts.

The correction stands, I should rather have said 'these Superstars all (ALL) sign milliin/multi-milliin dolla contracts' ("milliin" = indeterminate power of ten) contracts-- ie the word "million" is in the contract.

ADR has nothing to be depressed about, he can just console himself with that $641.1 trillion a year he's banking.

I just thought either amount wasn't enough, I thought he only returned cause they offered him half of the company?

Cesaro feels like he's using his real frustration and channel it into a gimmick.

Honestly the funny thing is Cesaro actually probably stands a better chance breaking through on Raw right now than on SmackDown. SmackDown has five established main eventers, Raw really only has two.

But being on the same show doesn't mean they'll be a kayfabe couple. It does mean that they'll likely travel together, likely be seen by fans together, and will likely break kayfabe or at the very least lose concentration on their individual careers while together. Yeah, like when Daniel Bryan f***ed up the main event of Wrestlemania 30 because he thought about kissing Brie instead of wrestling the match. Or how Lana and Rusev always make kissy faces at each other during matches and ruin any illusion of the characters they're playing. That doesn't make any sense.

Wrestlers make a lot more than their base salary, unless they are injured. They are paid separately for every house show, TV, PPV appearance.
