This is the only section of a booking contract in which a portion of a wrestler's income is detailed as a specific dollar amount.
Below is a table with the available base salary details. A wrestler's base salary can be diminished, however, in the event of in-ring injury.
For every pay-per-view event in which a wrestler is unable to perform after that six week period, minimum pay will be reduced by the average pay received for the three previous PPV events or 0. Chris Kanyon had an eight-week grace period.
No such language regarding time missed due to injury appears in Triple H's contract. In the event of in-ring injury, all costs of treatment and necessary rehab are paid by WWE. Beyond base salary, wrestlers are entitled to various bonus payments. Though there are no specific dollar amounts attached, these bonuses can be valuable. Those bonuses come in several forms, namely live events and royalties.
Below is a breakdown of those areas. Performers are entitled to a share of gate receipts for house shows. The specific share is unspecified, with a performer's pay being "consistent with the nature of the match in which wrestler appears, ie, preliminary, mid-card, main event, etc. We're mostly in the dark regarding what the specific shares might actually be today. That event featured the famous wedding between Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, as well as a main event between the team of Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan and the team of Sgt.

On top of base salary and live event money, wrestlers are entitled to royalty income. In the two most recent publicly available contracts - Triple H in and Stephanie McMahon in - wrestlers receive royalties from two different areas, namely product sales and non-wrestling appearances. Similar to live events, neither of these areas are described with much specificity but, as described below, older contracts established a rather detailed percentage breakdown. Regarding non-wrestling appearances, wrestlers are entitled to a share of profits from those events to be mutually agreed upon between talent and WWE.
As for product sales - or any "authorized product, merchandise, consumer material or good which is made by or on behalf of promoter" - wrestlers are entitled to a portion of the products' "net receipts" received by promoter, and that portion shall be generally consistent with the amount earned by other top talent.
While top professional wrestlers such as The Rock, John Cena and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin have earned millions from wrestling and movie appearances, according to Bleacher Report, most earn significantly less. These wrestlers get paid per match, and earn higher incomes the more they wrestle.
Most professional wrestlers develop their skills by wrestling in high school or college and by lifting weights to build size and strength. Many then attend wrestling schools to learn the moves used by television wrestlers.
Other essential requirements include physical strength and stamina, persistence, athleticism, desire, dedication, concentration and decision-making skills. In , average incomes for professional wrestlers varied considerably in some U.
Professional wrestlers can earn more by perfecting their skills, creating a unique persona and working hard to attract fans. This can increase the demand for the wrestler's services, earning them more matches and income.
