Vince, how much do they pay wrestlers on TNA/Impact since u are the authority on how much everyone makes?
TNA salaries are slightly lower than a WWE salary...at least for the main stars. However the biggest advantage of a TNA contract is that an athlete can work other promotions that are not televised so its quite easy for them to make tons of money....that's why Sting was in TNA for so long. He made a ton of money on side appearance fees. In addition, they have less venues so its a lot easier on the performers. Pay also is more favored to those that were born and mainly popular in the South.
One thing I do need to mention is that TNA isn't a public company so you'll never know the actual number. I only know from the folks who have told me what they made in conversations.....the biggest issues is that they allow wrestlers to work outside the company so in the event they get injured, they are NOT LIABLE for the medical bills and can argue "pre-existing injury". In addition, main stars is a very shaky word. People thought that Scott Steiner was making a lot of money but the sad truth is that he was only making about 2,000 bucks per appearance. TNA uses a lot of indy wrestlers and they'll pay them about 300 dollars an appearance.
