10 WWE Salaries You Won't Believe

7. Braun Strowman ~ $450,000

Let's count all of Braun Strowman's talents: 1) he's big 2) that's it.

Now let's offset them...er...that...against his ludicrous reported $450,000 per annum salary. It works out at, let's see, yes, $450,000 per talent. Does that represent value? Sure, he's big, but he's not that big. He doesn't even have the longest beard on the roster.

The very suggestion that a single person in this entire world tunes in to WWE programming to watch Braun Strowman should be greeted with all the incredulity of a headteacher being told how a football through a window was down to freak weather conditions, and no sir, we weren't kicking it against the wall.

I estimate, using highly scientific methods (guesswork), that the total money Strowman alone has generated for the promotion is somewhere between $0 and $8. Less than a single Network subscription. This is a man who was going to be put opposite The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
