10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Aug 30)

8. Wrestlers Getting Money From WWE Network Matches

From @RHwabow: Do wrestlers get money from airings of their matches on the WWE Network?
No. The wrestlers probably wish they got paid for it, but it's not going to happen. If you wrestled in WWE, WCW, ECW or anywhere else that might be shown on WWE Network, you're not going to get paid more money for showing older matches. WWE isn't obligated to pay anybody more than they've already paid. The talent that currently works for WWE will get paid in bonuses for current PPVs, video games, merchandise and things of that nature, but it won't affect anybody that worked for WWE in the past. Perhaps if there was a wrestler's union there might be something like that although there's no sign of that happening anytime soon.
