Well if you did, you didn't hear it from me!
In WWE, from the top level guys (generally capped around $1,000,000 per year) all the way down to FCW ($26,000 per year across the board), everyone is salaried. You wrestle when they tell you to wrestle, you stay home when they tell you to stay home, you get paid the same either way, and usually they're not jerks about it. Generally, if you're healthy, they will be using you though (except on overseas tours for the lower-card guys, more on that later). They also get PPV bonuses based on buyrate if they officially appeared on the PPV, and they get a cut of their merch sales, and other royalty stuff for DVDs they appeared on and the like. They are responsible to manage and pay for their own travel for North American shows, while WWE arranges all the overseas travel/living costs at company expense, which is why some of the bottom-tier guys don't make the trip. EDIT: This is how the 90-day no-compete clause upon being fired works. You get your "downside guarantee" (your base salary, no perks) for 90 days in exchange for sitting on your ass and not going to another company. I think one of the reasons there has been such a rise of "cool heels" in the last 15 years or so is that merch sales thing. Nowadays, it's a financial disadvantage to be universally hated! Back in the days pre-merch when everyone just got a slice of the house gate, it wasn't an issue. Props to Jericho for his 100% refusal to release any merch as a heel, in that regard. The top guys in TNA (Sting, Angle) are salaried, and the lower guys (Robbie E., Shannon Moore) are paid per appearance, and I have no idea exactly where the line is drawn there between those two groups to split them. ROH is now the same as TNA since the SInclair purchase. Top guys are salaried, lower guys are per-appearance. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

- In news that is sure to make Hornswoggle fans happy, Lionsgate and WWE Studios are set to make a reboot of Leprechaun. The original film starred Warwick Davis as an evil Leprechaun who is captured for his gold and goes on a murderous rampage after being freed. The film was one of Jennifer Aniston's first starring roles and spawned five sequels and a comic book series.
There is currently no writer, director or stars attached to the film, which is set for a 2013 release with a sequel contracted as well. .... 0_0 0_o WHAT? -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |

My monthly premium membership is set to renew on the 24th, I haven't actually seen the video but I wonder on what date will all the GB premium content become...un-premium. The FAQ for Premium Members says that the official switchover of premium memberships from Whiskey Media to GameSpot will happen on April 15th, and I have no desire for a GameSpot premium membership, so I guess I should just cancel before the 24th.

WWE usually makes at least a half-assed effort to actually photoshop a "humorous" image TOGETHER. Usually they'd have something made up with Cena's head on a Teletubbie body AT LEAST.
This one is hands down the laziest one they've ever done, and if you can count on anything in WWE, it's their production staff, so it once again leads me to believe that they're dumbing Rock down intentionally to give Cena traction. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg |
