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

[Cartier Murphy]

Well, John Oliver isn't employed by a wrestler promoter. What does he have to lose by criticizing Vince?

I’m not saying he’s wrong for doing it, but an outsider being critical of the WWE while the people in the company or in the industry are quiet as mice is the problem. The only way things will ever change is if the locker room, and even various other people with pull, decide to open their mouths. John Oliver was right to cast a spotlight on it, but it’s up to everyone else to use his points and platform to their benefit

Have yall seen how many people it takes behind the scenes to put on a WWE production? How many people and how much time it takes to build the elimination chamber? They have camera men to pay. they have security to pay. They have to take out insurance at all these venues. Just moving the raw and smackdown set probably cost several million a year. This isn't some indy promotion where the wrestler build the ring and they hang up a few banners. And how many wrestlers on earth get paid training? Most indy wrestlers are paying to train. There are a lot of costs to factor in that people don't think about. And most people will tell you that the 2nd contract is where you negotiate and really make some money.

And every one of them aren’t paid enough either, so now what ?

You gave me a ton of EXCUSES enzo happily signed that contract and the wwe took all the risk when it comes to given him a slot now he did well with that slot for a VERY short amount of time but at the end of the day he made good money. I'm with you on health care because that comes with any normal job but his split on merchandise naw idk how much wwe creative input went into it and if he sells 8mill shirts I'm sure he could sell 4 million on his own now right since it was him whose doing the lion share of the marketing .I'm a businessman and I'm fair on both sides wwe is a giant company you get more exposure than any other company enzo won't complaining while he was working for the company I wonder why

this is what alot of people don't understand. The assumption is that Enzo and Cass came up with all the catchphrases and imagery. Also, if it was him that was selling the merch then it shouldn't be hard for him to sell merch on his own, right? Some people talk all the time about how people like the Young Bucks caking on the indies and flipping merch like hotcakes. Surely nZo could do that on his own since it was all him. And we're just assuming these numbers are correct that he's throwing out there.

Why are you all crying about shyt they should be crying about.
If the wrestlers don't care fukk them.

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.

I just figured that number could be renegotiated in their next deal...but yea 2.5% is awful.

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

Only 2.5% they getting raped with no lube

 

[Rell Lauren]

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

Federal, state and city entertainment taxes means he took home a lot less than that not counting travel expenses from city to city.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I told y'all those contract "lists" that get released are all bullshyt. It had all these guys making way more than what Enzo described lol

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

its no diff than the music industry. people were selling millions and making like .60 cent a record.

 

[ALonelyDad]

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.

This is a retarded example
