Doesn't seem right that Kane makes less than Khali. He's been doing this way longer, and up until recently, performed a hell of a lot more. They must have a lot planned for Sheamus with that amount though. Might be wrong on this but didn't Sheamus work more matches than anybody else on the roster last year? If so, that's probably why he gets paid so much. |

I find it hard to believe Cena only makes $3 million. I know wrestlers are paid like crap, but he's gotta be pulling $10+ million a year.

The rankings seem possible enough, but I just don't trust whatculture.com as a source. It's tough to accept anything as fact from a website a few rungs below Cracked.

If this list is anywhere close to true, Daniel Bryan is being robbed blind. He's more over and moves more merchandise than most of that list combined.

If true, I always thought the top guys made way more than that, brother

Wasn't there a story like a year or two back stating that Cena's merch moved about $100 million in one year? I find it hard to believe Cena only got 6% of that. I mean $6 million on top of the $3 million salary is nothing to sneeze at, but I'd figure he cleared more than that. If Brock Lesnar is making $5 million for 1 year, and 10 appearances, the face of the company would have to be making more. In addition to merch sales, they also get paid for PPVs and since Cena main events so often dude is definitely not going to be hard pressed for cash unless he Ric Flair's his fortunes. |

This is false as has been stated. It is also no secret that wrestlers make a good amount of money off of their merchandise sales as opposed to their salaries. This is a way to balance the base contract of a popular wrestler being lower than a less popular one.

Meltzer debunked this list over a year ago. The example he used was that Cena's downside is actually $1 million. It's pretty far off. I saw this and got the image of "The Million Dollar Man: John Cena". |

Dave goes dumpster diving at Titan Tower every month and take old paycheck stubs & other discarded financial paperwork from the trash. One of the reasons why he got a inside track on WWE business numbers. WWE needs a better shredder. |
