Wrestlezone confirming the PWInsider Killer Kross story with more details. TNA's counter offer to Kross was "less than an NXT entry level deal" (normally $45k/year)
It gets worse
Wrestlezone was also told that a number of the multi-year deals—including the one Kross is locked into—currently being offered are low paying, and often see talent losing money due to travel costs associated with their appearances for the company. These deals see talent making anywhere from $250-400 per appearance, with no guaranteed minimum amount of appearances included in the deal. In addition, it was stated that while there are a number of people in the company that have guaranteed downsides and are making good money, only a couple of them are making a livable wage based on their current pay rates.
Under these deals, talent are flown to the IMPACT TV tapings / live events on basic economy level flights, and are also paying out of pocket for their own luggage, rental cars / Uber transportation and hotels. The situation was described as wrestlers 'literally losing money' after compensation and expenses, with several talents saying they were making as little as $3000-5000 for the year (with IMPACT, not including their independent bookings) before taxes and expenses despite being on a majority of the shows.
EXACTLY.lmao he said on the record to Fightful he wasn't making enough on the main roster to regularly pay for rental, hotel and travel combined, and you want him going to the place we just found out yesterday countered a guy asking for a raise in a renegotiation by offering him less than NXT and pays $250-400 per appearance
Yeah, he's a really, really boring dude.I had no clue they were an item. That's adorable, I imagine that conversation must've stunk.
What if I told you Billie is married tooReading Tyes interview today he mentioned having to tell his wife he was turning down a raise to request his release. I didnt know him and Payton were married since shes always with Kay.
So, yeah...I didn't watch Smackdown last night and I've seen his name pop up on Twitter. I knew it was WWE related, but I seriously didn't know this was the tag team name for Kairi Sane and Asuka. Oof
blame Asuka for it, she picked itSo, yeah...I didn't watch Smackdown last night and I've seen his name pop up on Twitter. I knew it was WWE related, but I seriously didn't know this was the tag team name for Kairi Sane and Asuka. Oof
To be fair, they chose Kabuki Girls. WWE turned it to Warriors
If they're going to give Asuka/Kairi a tag team name, they can at least give them new music that isn't just their two themes split up.
The fact Impact is paying less than entry level NXT in an enviroment where entry level NXT is already way lower than working indies says a lot about their future
He worked Impact in April!Whats marty the moth doing now,I actually enjoyed him hope aew signs him.
It's a complicated deal but it's easily the best deal anyone but WWE has ever gotten. There is a downside on the ad revenue which you can call the rights fee plus I never expected paying for production. That's got to be $20 million right there if it's a $400,000 budget. That's if, most arena shoots I've seen are higher budgeted and this may be as well. That's the number Vince is getting from his TV partners. WWE's production runs about $1 million per taping. I'm sure they won't get close to that. Even WWE doesn't get production paid for, not that they need to with the deasl they have.
I was expecting 20-30M in rights fees with it all going to barely cover production as a first year deal and early losses until they can build the rest of their business such as international and such. I don't see.house shows or PPVs being big moneymakers, haven't asked what the B/R deal is but the PPV business would be just a usual split. Video game to me is possible but iffy. The value of this appears at the high end of my expectations, depending on what we don't know, which is actual production budget and actual split on ads, what they can charge ads for. There's also international deals and such, although U.S. is obviously the key deal.
The idea this is a time buy, or they're not getting paid at all isn't the case.
Hopefully AEW and Turner expect the same becuase....oof.
Bugenhagen is still around and still wrestling. He's fun.Hey, what ever happened to air guitar guy on NXT? I saw him on TV like once then never again. He was pretty entertaining.
Yo Anth0ny
A friend of mine I have known for like 15+ years had his first wrestling match. He just sent it to me. Look who is fucking opponent is LOL
I also wouldn't be surprised if they price their first bunch of PPVs at $50 only to turn around this fall when the streaming service begins and market it like $50 PPVS FOR ONLY $7 A MONTH WOW WHAT A DEAL
Are you gonna watch it though?
