So we’re completely ignoring the possibility that some talent might be getting paid extra for the extra appearances in one of their biggest weeks, meaning the salary figure for that week might be higher than normal? I don’t know the ins and outs of wrestling contracts enough to know whether they’re paid by the appearance or just a straight amount per week regardless of what’s going on, or even whether or not it’s the same structure for everybody, but it seems like “one week times 52” is just a slightly more educated guess more than anything. Then again, “slightly more educated guess” pretty much sums up anything that comes from Meltzer.
Lol I love the run-on nature of your commentary thought process 😵💫 From what I know, in AEW most talent are paid annually but not sure if they get bonuses based on buy rates for PPV buys like WWE used to do before PLE’s
@What?
Yeah, no. Educated and Meltzer don’t go together, you’re giving him way too much credit. He’s reached Russo levels of stupidity and he’s doing his best to climb to an even higher peak. It’s hilarious how sites like this one continue to report his crap as news, like he actually knows something. They keep getting burned over and over and then do the same thing over again whenever he opens his hole. It’s like facts mean nothing…
On a side note, is it now customary to meddle in other people’s taxes? Especially people you’ve been historically known to lick the anuses (ani?) of? Did Tony piss in Dave’s signature Young Bucks Reeboks?
@Luke
Russo has reached levels of stupidity previously thought unreachable. The fact his micro brain can generate enough energy to move his feet while keeping the rest of his organs functioning at the same time is astounding.
@Disgruntled Jobber
100% agree, and this makes it even more astounding that Dave’s giving him a run for his money.
