I'm not sure whether to believe it since there's no source. But it's likely true what various big time indy names say about how they often make more money than midcard WWE guys overall If that is true than CM Punk wouldn't have made a comment in response of being mis-used in the WWE saying, "Hey, I will drive my Mercedes like Greg Helms does." He was a major Indy Name, and if he was making more money than some midcarders he wouldn't be making that statement.

I would assume that both Edge and Randy Orton are making in the 7 figures now. Does this include merchandise sales? or is that fixed in automatically? or is this a deal where they sign over there merchandise rights for an disclosed amount?

Helms isn't bottom barrel here. Hell, he isn't even bottom half. But(if that list is accurate) I'm sure a guy like Danielson or someone could make about equal(or close to equal) as some of the guys in the 50-63 range.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that most of those are the pure downsides of the contracts, ie "garunteed money." That no matter what happens, you will be getting that money. Then you have things like getting money from the different house shows you wrestle at, the PPVs you wrestle at, merch, etc. That's when people start crossing over into six figures from some of the salaries reported there.

HHH making more than some of those guys is pathetic Tell me why it is bullcrap? Triple H has contributed to the company more than anyone else, and has been with them for 10 years. Contributed? HAHAHAHAHA! Based on what your saying Brooklyn Brawler should be making more than HHH

lol yeah that is because Brooklyn Brawler sold out countless venues, put on 5-star matches, worked with WWE's on it's financial and marketing sectors, didn't leave the company(Rock and Austin), put Batista and Cena over, became a ambassader of the E, etc...
I don't see why anyone should be complaining about salary wrestlers makes. I guess WWE salaries are getting to be like "wrestling spots" and some people like Shelton Benjamin should be making 7 digit figures.

But compare a highest paid employee in the E to the highest paid employee in the indies, the gap is extremely big. In the same sense, the lowest paid wrestler is gaurenteed a 40+ K salary, as oppose to indy wrestlers being lucky if they get paid at all for working a promotion.
