WWE Referees Unhappy With Pay, Prince Devitt Update, WWE 2K15 Rumor | Wrestlezone

There are some WWE referees unhappy with their current pay, says The Wrestling Observer. A new report suggests that the referees are having a hard time making ends meet, as they are expected to pay for a lot of their own travel expenses.

Additionally, much like the talent, referees' pay goes up and down depending on how the business is doing as a whole, and they make less when live event numbers are down.

Get distracted during the match, and fail to take a punch brehs that lays you out for 10 mins brehs :troll:

I think most people would truly be surprised at just how little most lower to mid card wrestlers and especially the referees make.

sure $225,000 is a ton of money (which is around the area of the average salary for a WWE wrestler), but whenever you're expected to pay for some of your travel cost, taxes, and the fact that you're beating your body up and always on the road, it's not that much.

That's being generous. Some are barely making THAT much.
