[Brooksie]

[The Tony]

TNA a company owned and run by a woman. LOL, this whole notion of TNA being an ideal place to work is crazy. It's sad, at the end of the day.

Taylor Wilde not Gail Kim. All i say to it tough luck. If TNA splashed out loads on wages they'd go the way of WCW. There being sensible with there money (in some areas) all comes down to the old adage your worth whatever someone is willing to pay you.

TBH it seems ideal to work in TNA 4 days taping a month not many house shows leaving all talent free to make a living during the month.

Tbh she does very little in TNA, I'd be quite pissed off if she made a living by being in 10 minutes worth of promos per month.

 

[Klebold]

They get paid enough.. if they want a bit extra with a part time job then that up to them.

 

[checkmate69]

Cant wait to see her debut in the ring after she has been trained by lacey von erich lol

Dixie is too busy tweeting and giving Hogan some extra money to accidentally show some boobs.

Doesn't TNA do like 2-3 house shows per week? Doesn't talent have to pay for extra expenses?

WCW over pay guys like Stevie Ray making 900 grand per year but what these guys especially the women is making is McDonald type of money. That just not right. And you wonder why pro wrestlers get depress after their careers and commit suicide or taking crazy drugs. I know they made the choice to join the business but it should not be this bad. With the growth of MMA, the future of this business is not looking good as it is.

WCW over pay guys like Stevie Ray

How was Stevie Ray overpaid? He was massively over as one half of Harlem Heat, so he got paid what he deserved at the time.

You wanna talk 'overpaid in WCW' then let's discuss Lanny Poffo.

They get paid 200 dollars a match. That's enough?

 

[Muerte al fascismo]

Gender discrimination in wrestling is nothing new. It has always been a backward-ass industry.

 

[It's True]

I can't see why people complain about TNA's wages, they work like ten days a month and that's if they're on the road. If they can't get another job for the other 20 days a month it's their own problem

That's a very simplistic view, bearing in mind that training, conditioning and maintaining well being is an every day occurance for wrestlers at that level. It's not a case of half an hour in the gym the day you're working.

That's not taking into account that if you spend ten days taking long journeys, falling on your back and generally bumping in and out of the ring, and off whatever absurd structure they can build, it's not exactly like the other 20 days are going to be a productive time.

IMO, if you're a company with a TV deal and a huge financial backer, you shouldn't be comparable with a big indy for paying talent. A decent wrestler can make a killing in Japan from what I've heard, so the second largest American company should at least be able to make them comfortable. It's actually a little insulting to expect wrestlers to bust their asses to entertain us, but to also have to work a second job just to get by. No-one's saying pay a jobber half a million a year, but come on, if a champion is selling sunglasses, you're doing it wrong.

That's a simple minded way of looking at it. They're professionals on national television weekly. Not to mention they're usually the top ratings draw. Most of the men make anywhere from 60,000-600,00 a year. What does the women's salary add up to? 20,00-30,000? They're schedules are pretty damn intense and their lives are pretty much dedicated to traveling for the company. And if it's true that they have to pay for their own traveling arrangements and lodging, then the number is even more disturbing. Saying they should get another job to support themselves is no excuse. No pro wrestler on Television should have to do that.

who really cares about how much people in TNA get paid,If they have accepted what they get then thats thier fault..
