10 Mind-Blowing Wrestler Salaries WWE Couldn't Afford

2. Brock Lesnar - Salary Expectations For Full Time $20 Million

Vince McMahon would love to have Brock Lesnar full time, but based on the market vale of his last two deals, Lesnar would cost around $20 million for a full year's work. That's based on the idea that his current limited dates would add up to one WWE quarter, about four matches a year with regular appearances around them, which he earns $5 million for. Multiplied by four, that's $20 million. So maybe McMahon could have Brock year round, but only if he was prepared to pay him a cool $20,000,000 - something which he can't afford to do. Indeed, he's already arguably paying too much for the megastar. As big as Brock is, he's a very expensive luxury. Five million for a few shows a year is the envy of the WWE locker room, and keep in mind that Brock's presence barely impacted the SummerSlam Network subscriptions last year.
