Well, Christy has been there for a while. And when they got her, she was kind of a big deal.

Unsure how true these are, but Christy probably gets the most for seniority. Either that, or like you say, she drives a hard bargain.
At least she's on TV decently often, what about BG James getting as much as AJ Styles?

Thanks for posting this, it's fascinating. I'd love to know how accurate this is though. The thing that made me laugh the most is that (if this is true) I earn about the same as Johnny Devine. Okay so I don't have to work out so hard and he has the fame and all, but it really gives an interesting perspective. As I said, that's if this is true and I'm sure their income stream has more to it than the basic salary. There are some crazy discrepances in here though. Too many to go into really. Mainly it seems from this that the ex-WWE talent are laughing all the way to the bank, while the "homegrown talent" are being short-changed. Fits in with the current storyline though eh? And man, no wonder Sting's been keen on renewing with TNA.

Some notable ommisions: Christopher Daniels/Curry Man, Judas Mesias, Chris Harris, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Frank Trigg, Consequences Creed, So Cal Val, Mick Foley and Sharmell. Nevertheless this list is very interesting.

Elix Skipper $45,000. The amount of time he's been there and that's all he's getting?

This could always just be base salary, and there be a ton of other things bringing him in more money. Who knows.

Isn't it sad that AJ Styles makes the same amount of money as BG James?

It's sad of how Kip James gets paid more then AJ Styles and how Black Reign gets paid more then half the X-Division. At least Samoa Joe is getting paid alot but Christy Hemme is still making $1000 more then Joe!

Surely AJ's on more than that I mean he's one of the top guys now and has been there as long as anyone!
