How much do WWE superstars get paid monthly?
Verified answer
they get paid the amount that is on their pay check.
Honestly, I think that wages are important, the stars should be getting paid what they are worth and a cut in sales of merchandise (remember a few years back when the whole world was wearing Stone Cold and NWO t shirts?).
I also think its important to be remembered as a great wrestler rather than worrying about pay. In a sport rich in history, I would definatly want to go down in the books as a true wrestling great rather than worry about money!
Who cares? That is like asking how often basketball, baseball, and football players get paid. However they get paid, they get a lot!
It depends on the superstars.
The big name talent will earn thousands of dollars a week.
The jobbers will earn hundreds.
I think everyone would want to be the Champion ;)
YUPP THATS EVRYONES DREAM BOY!
