WWE used to pay independent wrestling talent brought in to work as “extras”
on television $250 per night, however it is said that with the current budget
cuts within the company, those same talents are paid just $100 per night for the
same type of work.
Generally speaking, independent talents these days are brought in to work as
“security guards” or members of Adam Rose’s “Rosebuds” group.
