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.
How the fukk did he get paid the most on a 98/2 split? :what:

Out of the other number listed in the OP, his merch sales got him the most.
So do the math on that and calculate how much WWE made total from that one shirt...

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


Its the entertainment industry, fam. Look at the percentages music acts take per record sold on their first contracts, this is fairly par for the course. Also what hurts Enzo is that he was a group act so Cass, while doing little, probably saw half of the talent's cut as well.

Anyone defending should see the discrepancy between real sports and the amount paid to the players vs wrestlers. Wwe is way lower than every other big sport plus only allows endorsements with certain wrestlers. The network basically stole their big show payouts too.

Enzo could be right saying he highest grpwsing rookie percentage wise to his pay afterall. Cant think of anyone else who did merch like that as a rookie.

Enzo made 6 figures in year 1 on the main roster while still making his NXT deal money before getting it converted to a main roster deal is what I got from this.

People get called up who are doing nothing & are making 6 figures a year sitting in catering that WWE won't release unless they fukk up :wow:

Like EVERY first music record deal ever.
Receipts? And i'm not talking about publishing or royalties cause artists are quick to give that up for a deal.

I want to see any business model where merchandise revenue is split 97/3....

Cats in here thinking a 98/2 is fair.
You get yourself over, cause we know it's not the trash writers and booking getting people to like you And you think it's right that the company who doesnt pay for your health insurance, doesn't pay for your travel, controls how far you go up the ladder no matter what your talent or fans say to take 97.5% of your merchandise revenue that people buy cause it's your face on it.
Yall the type of nikkas the reasons why pimps exist

Imagine a McDonalds cook complaining the store brought in 2 million a year and he making minimum wage.
I'm not going to McDonald's to have that cook make my food though:dwillhuh:

I'm not buying merchandise with that cook's face/catchphrase/logo on it:dwillhuh:

People go to McDonald's because they expect it to be the same as every other McDonald's they've ever been to, regardless of whether it's on the West Coast, Mississippi, in the suburbs, downtown, etc. The cooks don't matter, they're easily replaceable. Their job is to cook the exact same food in the exact same way.

You can't say the same for a wrestler. Say what you want about Enzo, but not many had his charisma or skills on the mic. Not many could move merchandise like he apparently did. You just can't replace him with another "cook" and have no one be able to tell the difference.

Punk spoke on this shyt in that big podcast years ago. At this point, the wrestlers within the industry have to push for change. If John Oliver is the biggest name pushing for a change within the pro wrestling world, that’s a problem.
