Enzo talks being on salary for $1k a week despite generating $8 million in revenue on 1 shirt alone

[LastManStanding]

- $1,000 salary per week (approximately $52,000/year)
- $600 bonus for every TV Raw worked (approximately $30,000/year)
- $17,000 bonus check for WWE 2K video game
- 2.5% merchandise share

$8 million generated on 1 shirt alone in their first year on the main roster (2.5% = $200,000)





and other reports that Enzo sold north of $20 million in merchandise overall in his first year (let's just be real, it was all Enzo and not Cass) yet WWE is giving these wrestlers 2.5% ... and and they still have to pay for their rental cars and hotels .... disgusting business practices

Well the next thread over people are mad r John Oliver for calling out the WWE for the criminal way they treat talent. Let's see if this boards uncomfortable infatuation with Enzo will survive this

That what the tv contract is for, the production value is high yes but i am pretty sure the tv contracts more than cover the costs. Regarding travel. I think WWE should have a reimbursement plan

Part of the reason they make talent pay for flights is, they cant be trusted. If you are paying up front your travel costs, you will make sure not to miss your flight

Whats that got to do with them only getting 2.5% of their merchandise sales? Breh there is NO defending that shyt.

 

[BrehWyatt]

What I gathered from this is that Enzo Amore made $300,000 a year.

What should they get then?

Pyro will be at WM, plus not using it on every PPV saves that money for other things. Pyro is overrated anyways. I always hated it back in the day, always filled the arena with smoke and you couldn't see shyt for the first hour of the show.

He got to pay that entertainer's tax in every state he goes to. I'd be surprised if he taking home 125

That's a valid point.
