I have been reading some wrestling books of late and I found this one recently, Genesis of TNA, and it contains salary numbers, as told by an ex-producer Bill Behrens. The context of the information is needing to pay for bigger name stars in 2008-2009 and having to cut mid-card talent/long term guys. Sorry if this has been posted before or taboo, but I always find glimpses into the salary structures of wrestling feds interesting. Last, I believe this book was published online in 2012.
"BILL BEHRENS: The greatest quantity of the crew makes less than $70,000, the highest percentage of the wrestlers. A large percentage of that crew make less than $50,000 and a significant number make less than $35,000. The quantity of people who make more than $100,000 is probably 10% of the talent; more than $200,000 probably represents 5% of the talent."
