I thought JBL was some kind of investing genius?

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Big Show being where he is makes me laugh. Hard, and out loud.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Kevin Nash is above CM Punk. That's the first thing I noticed.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Nearly a decade later and The Rock and Austin are still bankable, pretty impressive.

 

[Coco]

Big Show being where he is makes me laugh. Hard, and out loud.

It shouldn't if you've been paying attention.

 

[D-Man]

Chyna is rich because she's a ****. I love it.

 

[jmt225]

Big Show being where he is makes me laugh. Hard, and out loud.

He definitely deserves it, though. The dude has worked his ass off for years and has consistently done a great job.

Chyna is rich because she's a ****. I love it.

Kim Kardashian sets the standard. The World we live in today...

 

[SD619]

Lawler makes more than Orton

Surprising to see that Kane and Sting are not on the list. Both are among of the most experienced active guys.

 

[Coco]

Lawler makes more than Orton

No, Lawler's accumulated more wealth than Orton.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

But... I thought Lawler beat a bunch of nobodies down in Memphis? However did he make so much money?

 

[Coco]

Personally, I'm of the mind that speaking on television for two to five hours a week and basically being an essential part of the WWE's storytelling should be a high-paying job. Respect your commentators, yo.

I thought Paris Hilton did?

 

[shattered dreams]

Flair just emailed them to ask where he left the other 4.75 mil.

 

[Mustang Sally]

Wonder what Flair's 37 ex-wives think of his $5 million net worth.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Those celebrity matches must've really done a job for Show. I am sort of surprised to see Angle so high as well but he's done a few films and the like I suppose. But regardless, Vinny Mac is the king.

 

[Alastor]

I was expecting Stacy Keibler to be up there if ex-wrestlers made the list.

Sucking George Clooney's dick doesn't pay. Well... maybe.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Goldberg?!?

 

[Chrome]

But... I thought Lawler beat a bunch of nobodies down in Memphis? However did he make so much money?

No, Lawler's accumulated more wealth than Orton.

I get your point but if this is about accumilation then where is Sting? in WCW he was paid top dollar. These numbers are surprising.

Where is Booker T? DDP? Scott Hall? Steiner? I know they made a ton of cash too.. I remember Hall in interviews saying he doesn't have to work another day in his life if he didn't want too that he was that well off.

Seems like a lot of names are off this list.. I mean they have Goldberg on the list and he hasn't wrestled in years.. so where is ultimate warrior and dusty?

 

[Stormtrooper]

I thought JBL was some kind of investing genius?

Considering he is retired now (as in not really working at all), lives a higher-end lifestyle, and was not on top until 15 years into his career (and only 2 years before he retired), I'd say he really high.

All those people you listed aren't on the list because their net worth isn't in the top 27.

Goldberg made about ten thousand times the money that guys like Steiner, DDP, Booker T, maybe Dusty and Warrior (who have been out of the ring for 10-20 years), and he probably was smart with his money.

He also hosts 2 shows on Speed channel, and has been doing other TV work, so he's still getting paid.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Where is Booker T?

Spent majority of his career as a tag team/midcard wrestler, only experienced two short periods as a main event wrestler.

DDP?

Was in his late thirties when he got his big break, only had a couple years as a top name and even those weren't great.

Scott Hall?

Take into account how Kevin Nash is on the list, hes spent the majority of his career as a contracted performer, Scott Hall has not.

Steiner?

Steiner was never really a big player in the wrestling industry, see Booker T.

I mean they have Goldberg on the list and he hasn't wrestled in years..

Stone Cold is second and hasn't competed in a longer period of time. Goldberg was one of the biggest draws in the late nineties, when WWE brought him back you really think they didn't pay him a bomb of money? Not to mention hes had several roles since leaving WWE. Movie roles, commentating on MMA events, I'm not at all surprised Goldberg made the list.

so where is ultimate warrior and dusty?

I don't see Warrior exactly swimming in cash. Hasn't done anything of large profit since the mid-nineties, was on a contract in WCW where they thought he'd make money on merch and shit, which he would then gain a profit of, but considering his run there was a failure he would have been getting a slightly above average wage. Rhodes I can't answer.

 

[klunderbunker]

Keep in mind with Austin that his merchandise still sells decently and he gets a cut of that. Also he makes a decent living making B movies on a regular basis. From what I understand he made a fortune on his merchandise stuff back in the 90s so maybe he saved a ton of that.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Big Show still surprises me.
