oddly, I never saw Sting make a house show appearance since being in TNA. Nash did one cuz he got punished for something and got a pay cut for a month.

[hystrix]

I have a hard time beleiving theses numbers as both Gail Kim and Awesome Kong have stated that they have trouble making ends meet. $100k a year is hardly struggling.

Awesome Kong stated in an interveiw about a year ago that most knockouts made about $400/week or about 21k a year...

[Necroyeti]

A lot of that seems contradictory to this article (http://www.cagesideseats.com/2010/9/29/1719902/an-examination-of-tnas-appalling-treatment-of-talent) and this one. (http://www.cagesideseats.com/2011/2/11/1988877/a-closer-look-at-how-the-tna-office-handles-outside-bookings)

/agree

Plus those numbers would put most male TNA wrestlers as making close to what WWE male wrestlers make. According to the OP, the Knockouts make more than Divas... not true according to the likes of Gail Kim and Awesome Kong...

[cainecollin]

Also, unless the stars themselves released their pay amounts (which I doubt they did), TNA is not a publicly traded company and therefor would not be releasing it's payroll to the general public.

[steveorton]

I agree with hystrix, I'm jus sayin...

[HCollins-TNA1]

my guess that why losts of TNA wrestlers is allowed outside bookings!!!!

[wallyman]

i wonder how true this numbers are...cuz like they said tna aint public also...i remmbeer aj saying he makes more than people expect....i dontthink he makes as much as abyss maybe more./...

[WWTNA Mark]

Yeah, not to mention the fact that I hardly doubt the Knockouts gets paid that much. I call bullshit.

[HCollins-TNA1]

The numbers has to be before taxes?????

[wallyman]

also i think this is the figure if they get used on every tna impact show i think...some of them are paid by apperance...so they are suppose to make this figure if they appear on every show...and some people dont even get used for months...

[HCollins-TNA1]

Supposedly 28 days out of the year isn't too bad for over $500,000

I want to point out that the orginal poster has yet to provide a source. So they are likley fake.
