How did profits drop so drastically between 2010 and 2011? Is that when Vince blew loads of money on Linda's campaign?

I have always said, if you are on the main roster you are making AT LEAST 250,000 a year (JTG/Curt Hawkins types) and that you pay just goes up from there. So someone as pretty much useless as Tensai, who makes like 2 appearances all month on TV, this is why people go to WWE and stay in WWE even when there careers are going nowhere.

Where is the evidence supporting this?

- Mickie James was offered $60,000 a year to stay with TNA but she turned it down.

That sucks considering Christys salary is in the 100K range however TNA helped promote Mickie's music....WWE won't do that unless Stephanie's music publishing gets a big cut

For what it's worth, Orton said in an interview years back that often their road expenses can be like 100k. They have to pay for a lot of stuff, rental cars/hotels/plane tickets. Not to mention eating out all the time and partying if you are into that sort of thing.

I think they certainly make a good living, but it's probably less than you'd think for the lower card guys. Not to mention that your career might not be very long, so there's not much room to save for retirement.
