Dean has worked more matches than anyone else in the last two years, with no injuries or wellness violations. He drew well on the house shows he headlined despite being in small markets, and I'm sure his merch sales are top ten.

As much as TSC hates him, he's earned his keep.

I never buy these Forbes lists. If you do, you believe 50 Cent/Jay/Puffy are worth 500 + mil.

Terrible examples to try to make a point, as Diddy and Jay have had such a lengthy career to amass that type of fortune, and at one point 50 Cent was THE man in hip hop, though I don't know if 500 million worth

Remember 50's case last year or two years ago? He had like 30 mil in assets, and close to 30 mil in debt/expenses/legal costs. That that 30 mil wasn't accurate is probable, but off by $400 mil is absurd.

Jay and Puffy were being reported as having around 500 mil 10 years ago. That's absurd. You might as well believe that Jim Jones got $8 an album in Dipset's prime.

You don't think Jay and Puffy have that much with eeeeeeverything they've been involved in for more than two decades?? Those 2 aren't just rappers, but highly successful businessmen. I could actually see 50 not having that much cause he's just reckless in general

In 2017 it's a lot more believable, but Jay and Puffy were said to have 4-500 mil in 06-07. That's pretty unbelievable. Either way the 50 cent case shows that they're probably off on these numbers, unless they're actually getting the numbers from WWE corporate reports.

AJ already making the Forbes lists and he hasn't even been in the WWE for two years. It's well deserved.

With that said, pro-wrestlers are grossly underpaid compared to other athletes and entertainers.

Damn right. No off season, classified as independent contractors pretty much, and not much insurance benefits. But that's been ingrained in both the wrestlers and the fans since day one, so the wrestlers no what they sign up for
