Maven breaks down how much money he made in WWE and how wrestlers get paid..

[MikelArteta]

Dude, it's like every generation of wrestlers don't fukkin' lisrten.

Harley Race & them told Chris Benoit & Dynamite Kid about the diving head butts & they didn't listen

After Benoit, you'd think people'd listen, but nope

Bryan Danielson kept doing the diving headbutts & now Tony Khan has girls almost being paralyzed on a regular basis.

There was just one of those Japanese female legends who was warning all the women about all that shyt a few months ago & the shyt again, fell on deaf ears

look at bubba ray and dvon, dvon took all that punishment doing the "wassup"

That chair shot he took from Taker at the 2002 Rumble was disgusting

Nowadays I think they got rid of pay sheets and everyone is on downside guarantee but they substantially increased the downside guarantee.

Pretty sure it’s the same way in AEW too.

Though I’m sure the bigger names can negotiate some kind of pay sheet arrangement on top of their downside guarantee.

But still was neat to hear how it used to work.

I believe you are correct. Because the majority of their income is guaranteed $ now (TV deals, Peacock WWE Network deal, Saudi deal) they are downside guarantee-ing a much larger figure than when they intro'd this pay structure in the mid 90s where the big revenue generators (PPV, live attendance gates, merchandising) were up and down based on how good business was.

smh

There's people in the comment crying about shyt like shaking everyone's hand

It's a social setting where ppl are with each other 90% of the entire year. Of course there's social norms that build respect.

Litterally none of those are bad rules.

I thought it was gonna be the weird shyt like not icing down if you're new.

This is a great way to smoke out ppl just in the biz for clout and not taking it serious. You can end someone's career every night.

Of course they have these.

"They just need an excuse to be a bully."

What? Come on time, stay to watch all your peers, work on your craft as much as you can, don't go around talking about how much you make, give preference for vets, etc.

All normal shyt

I didn’t watch during his time but he seem like a good dude

Should bring him back in some capacity

I wasn't watching back then, but why couldn't Maven work?

I actually watched him on "Tough Enough" & thought he'd work out, but wasn't watching WWE TV at that point.

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

I watched this the other day

The money one is only so they can underpay you
Also they was being subtle on tryin to tell him he sucked and needs to get better in the ring

That and just because wrestlers are dikks. I think it was Jim Ross that would talk about how wrestlers would lie to others about their payouts just to fukk with them, then that wrestler would end up in Ross' office mad they didn't make as much as somebody else. Ross would have to tell them that they got worked.

Some good content but agree on the lack of facial hair lol

But his skin care routine seems to be impeccable

That giving your seat up for the veteran stuff, miss me with that shyt. On one of them podcast the vets would be tryna use that shyt on a younger guy who decided to buy a first class ticket.
