salaries of wwe superstars

Randy Orton looks like he was made in a lab designed specifically for wrestling. He works far better as a heel and its rumored he thinks so as well. He stands like a heel should never completely straight always a little shifty. He comes from a wrestling lineage and was obviously well liked by management but he made the most of a great opportunity and came a long way with a lot of hard work. He deserves to be in this spot.

Usually when wrestling is brought up someone immediately has to shout out its fake!. Genius. Of course its not real fighting as Bobby Heenan once said a fight lasts 30 seconds not 30 minutes. Its not fighting of course its gladiators performing extreme ballet. Its a suspension of disbelief. And no one suspends belief like Brock. Theres nothing pretend about the physical ferocity of Lesnar. He conquered the WWE and then decided to conquer the UFC striking a blow for wrestlers everywhere. Brock wrestles a far reduced schedule for the WWE as a special attraction and is rewarded handsomely for it. He is a huge draw and one of the best things going in the WWE. His salary for his new WWE contract has not yet been revealed only that its for three years. With WWE really seeing Lesnars value now we can assume he received a significant raise.

Triple H paid his dues like everybody else. He had his fair share of cheesy gimmicks worked his way through WCW and when the Monday Night Wars took off he grabbed a spot and is still riding. While he certainly has his share of critics for his lengthy main event status and marrying the bosss daughter you cant deny the man has done some excellent work with NXT. If NXT is what happens when Paul Levesque is given control then fans should be excited for the future of wrestling.

The elder statesman the conscience the backbone of the company. The Undertaker has reinvented himself through several eras remaining connected with the fans and providing some classic matches. His WrestleMania streak built so quietly at first and grew to the level of mainstream news. Undertaker only wrestles one match a year now but you cant deny that his presence remains a huge selling Point for every WrestleMania.

You knew he had to be up here but he couldnt take the top spot. Ten years with the company and its main man for a majority of it. Many have remarked on his outstanding work ethic his willingness to learn and do whatever it takes. Cena for all of the wins thrown his way has still shown the willingness to do the dirty work when asked. His match at ECWs One Night Stand with RVD was legendary. They sent Cena into a snake pit. This wasnt a PG era venue this was loudmouth hardcore ECW fans who had no problem screaming obscenities in his face. Its ironic that in this case Cena really did seem against all odds and his gimmick would have worked quite well. However it was booked to please the crowd and Cena took the loss like a champ while putting RVD over as the new one.

The Rock obviously doesnt make this salary now but rather when he was locking up with Cena at WrestleManias 28 and 29. The Rock has a special relationship with the WWE. Millions of dollars for a very reduced contract will do that for you. But The Rock obviously doesnt need money and if he did he could make far more for far less dangerous work. The Rock didnt need to come back he wanted to. And thats a testament to the passion he has for wrestling and how grateful he is. The Rock can still bring it in the ring he still loves what he does and the WWE loves paying him for it.
