I would say 1 wrestler and 6 piles of shit......Benjamin is the exception.  He will be in TNA by the end of the month.

I didn`t realize that the WWE was actively enforcing a steroid policy.  Vince, do you think that McMahon and company merely use this as an excuse to terminate contracts early without having to pay the remainder?

Not really because a wrestling contract is written to where they are independent contractors.  They can be hired and fired for any reason and are responsible for health insurance, travel, etc.  Its prob used for leverage they complain or try to file suit for something. 

Also, no-one expect the top superstars even make the money to sue anyone.  A WWE jobber makes about 500 dollars per wrestling match while a mid-carder makes about 20-30,000 dollars a year.

The "no-names" in the WWE only make 30,000 a year?   At that point is it even worth it considering the medical risk?

Most wrestlers make money the same way bodybuilders do by signing autographs, personal training, stripping at clubs...etc.  You have to understand that a lot of wrestlers were bodybuilders at one time too so not much is different except that wrestling is more mainstream and widely accepted than bodybuilding

Her's was more of a disciplinary problem most likely. Showed up late to events, didn't practice, being a diva, etc.

No, they make more than that.....here is a link to a sample of their salaries.....half the people listed were "mid-carders" and the lowest salary was $43k out of the actual wrestlers.  Some of the "divas" make a little less.  But the vast majority make 6 figuers....even guys like Lance Cade, Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury make 6 figures.  This was from 04 to 06.

I would say it's due to a much lighter work schedule and the physical demands are very different.

None of those were mid-card jobbers because they've all been on TV.  All of those folks have been shown on TV.  Jobbers are only at house shows where those guys listed would actually be the main event and they didn't get nothing.  If there wasn't enough jobbers to perform, they would go and get local wrestlers to do the squash matches.

Realized that there was no money to be made in it and not worth my health.  Doing a wrestling match is equal to being in a car crash.  I did one last gig as an announcer for a fringe outfit and quit the business.  I didn't have enough heart or love for the business to stick around
