salaries of wwe superstars

This just doesnt seem right. Bryan the opposite of Ryback in size ability and crowd appeal makes just a small amount more. The WWE however did listen to the loud cries of the tortured fan base providing a fantastic WrestleMania moment for Bryan and the YESnation last year. The company also had him headline with Reigns at Fastlane but he has now been saddled with the Intercontinental title hopefully for the purpose of bringing prestige back to the belt oops title sorry Vince. It feels like the WWE thinks that perhaps Bryans chant is more popular than he is.

Miz is a modern made star. Getting his start on reality television he forged a patch to stardom in the WWE. He was perhaps brought up too fast evidenced by a very poorly received main event at WrestleMania with John Cena. Its most likely that he has had his shot at the top and wont see the main event again hell remain a well compensated upper mid carder. Although like Ryder The Miz is a proven hustler and will likely find other lucrative ways to bring home the bacon.

It may come as a surprise but Dustin Goldust Runnels has quietly amassed a 25 year career. Even more surprising is that he still provides quality work in the ring and shows no sign of slowing down. He is a great veteran to have around especially to mentor his younger brother. When Dustin hangs em up (for good) fans shouldnt be surprised to see him step away from his younger brother in the ring and stand alongside his father behind the scenes.

Rusev has worked with the WWE and their developmental territories since 2010. His powerlifting background and physique are mighty appealing to McMahon but the man can

Oh Vince we thought you learned your lesson with the big men. McMahon signed Henry to a ludicrous 10 year contract in 1997 before the man had proven himself in the squared circle. Henry struggled mightily but eventually found his way. Hes still limited in the moves department but hes developed into a solid mid carder with some upward versatility. Henry combines Vinces love for giants and powerlifters so hell always have a job if he wants it.

With Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns out of action late last year Ziggler was called upon to fill the void. He stepped up admirably convincing many he was ready for prime time. However with Bryan and Reigns back Ziggler has slipped down a few notches and might find it challenging to claw his way back up. At his current age and spot on the card Ziggler has most likely reached his peak and will remain an upper mid card fan favorite.

Okay so Kane is nowhere near as appealing as he used to be and has been horribly booked for years. But at least he has paid his dues to earn such a salary. Kane has been in the WWE for upwards of 20 years and was incredibly over for many years with the audience. For WWE though how many more years are you willing to pay that much for Kane who simply doesnt connect with the audience anymore? Glenn Jacobs has said it himself in recent interviews that the salary he makes is hard to walk away from.

Chris Jericho is a class act.

A man with giant longevity the Big Show cut his teeth in the WCW where he was admittedly very green yet his shortcomings were masked by the bloated veteran roster. Once he made the switch to the WWE he had to learn fast but ultimately transitioned into a very serviceable career. Part of his contract entitles him to a private tour bus as the Big Show gave a Big No to cramped air travel.

Sheamus achieved huge success relatively quickly prompting a divisive response from the fans. He has a distinctive look can perform in the ring and is known as a tireless worker. As with any big push detractors will form. Critics have Pointed out that Sheamuss push came after a rumored gym buddy friendship with Triple H a man no stranger to accusations of powerful friendships/relationships.
