1. The Rock - Salary Expectations For Full Time $52 Million
Forbes estimates that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson earned $52 million from June 2013 to June 2014. Those sort of earnings are made possibly by his roles in major hollywood films, including the Fast And Furious franchise. It is the sort of money that WWE couldn't dream of matching for a wrestler. He's never going to come back to full time wrestling when he can be making forty million more in movies. Instead, WWE utilise Rock on a part time deal. It is expected that he'll headline WrestleMania 32 against Triple H, in a match that will be largely responsible for the show drawing. For that he could expect $5 million, maybe more. WWE are more than happy to do business on that part time basis at that level of money, as evidenced by the deal that they have Lesnar on. But just imagine how big WWE would be if it had both Brock and Rock full time. It would be epic for the fans, but unfortunately the combined $72 million cost is something Vince McMahon would never pay for two wrestlers!
