AJ Styles: ‘I’m Making More Money Than When I Was In TNA

[ThatTruth777]

good now he could use that money to being a good dad

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

He made $350K last year in TNA? I'm surprised he made that much.

low key going ROH / NJPW / Dragongate / DGUSA is 100x better way to learn the business and sharpen your teeth than TNA, easily.

Definitely but NJPW could be tricky. Usually the only gaijins they use are those with some name value.

He hired Gail Kim, R-Truth, Xavier Woods and rehired Christian, Jeff Hardy,etc.

Vince doesn't do a lot of hiring anymore. JR hired Stone Cold, Rock, Cena, Orton, Shelton, Kurt etc what makes you think he does the hiring now. Vince don't know shyt about indies nor does he has the time for it.

True, though the style is absolute hell on the body.

If you're established and older, though, it's almost better to break into New Japan and work major tours and some indies than take your chances with WWE's capricious booking. WWE has the higher upside, being the much bigger company (although that's being mitigated by disappearing PPV and video game residuals and declining house show checks), but being a top guy in New Japan just might be the surest bet to make the best living possible off of wrestling.

Sting and Angle were making a million a year and they damn sure werent paying for travel and hotels. TNA just didn't see Styles as valuable. Simple as that. He wasn't no huge draw. It's no big deal.

Wait??? Really??

A million a year to work like less than 100 days???

How many dates in other Feds do you have to work to make a million?
