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

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.

Pyro is the production value you want.
It makes you look big time. Gives you a larger than life feel. You know what the WWE is lacking, larger than life feeling.

What they need to save money on anyway? You're the only dog in the market, you getting big tv contracts, streaming revenue etc they got money to spend.

What should they get then?

Way more than 2.5%

Only thing worse than this is the NCAA giving players 0% for their merchandise when its all clearly driven by each individual.

There's more than just the wrestler that goes into making the shirts and the expenses that need to be paid to the companies, etc that goes into making the merchandising.

There's lots of factors involved that many likely have no idea about.

Knock it all the way off breh, I've researched numerous business merchandise practice and standards and in NONE of them does the manufacturer keep 98% of the profits

If it was 70/30 your point could possibly have some merit but it has ZERO merit when it comes to debating a 98/2 split

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

Plus road expenses are insane, so it ain't like a 9-5ers 125k.

You don't know they keep 98%, Enzo said they only get 2.5%. That other 97.5% could be going to other places like I mentioned.

There's shyt load of expenses WWE has to pay for. They got to do it somehow.

I'm kind of surprised that WWE doesn't own their own 747 plane and just transport all talent on it and bus them to hotels. Let them get Ubers and shyt from there. These worker paying road trip days seems ridiculous for a company of WWE status and penalizing their workers for showing up late is such a kick in balls.

I can really understand what Ryback means when WWE hold all the cards when it comes to salary and aren't above sandbaging Super Over wrestlers for their vision. It's kind of fukked up... You get yourself super over and your boss is trying to cut your legs from underneath you, because you wasn't chosen by them to get over. It affect your long term money, career, and it's fukked up. They dictate how much you wrestle, win/loss, merch available, and WWE gets a cut of everything you do while you're not their employee, but they own you.

Its still 97.5% to 2

WWE produces their own merchandise so please tell me where it could be going

This is the second thread this week where desperate WWE-only fanboys are showing their ass my goodness, apply for a job with the WWE already

Breh, it is like this in every corporation. I bring in millions in earnings for my company, but I definitely ain't getting paid a million, not even close.

Imagine a McDonalds cook complaining the store brought in 2 million a year and he making minimum wage.

What if the McDonald's cook created the McLicious at his store, using ingredients readily available, and it became a national item due to its popularity?

You think it all goes to Vince? It's used to pay for other employees and other things. Everything they make is used to fund the things they do.

 

[Breh Obama]

Sorry about another man's money brehs

I'm aware of how business revenue works, It goes into the company....

That still doesn't explain how a 98/2 split makes any sense for the wrestlers when the company produces, manufactures, & ships their own merchandise

You're literally in here acting like merchandise revenue is where this company makes it bread & butter when it's clearly tv rights and ad revenue.

There is no other merchandise company in the WORLD where the split is that lopsided. Stop It

Point is there's more than anyone knows and no one knows how they do things and we all should just stop it. Nothing they do effects us so why even bother. He still got paid most from the merch sales, if those numbers are even true.
