Date: Sep 04, 2012 at 1:22 pmOnly one problem with this list. Rock and Austin aren’t wrestlers anymore. They retired. They’re now movie stars. So actually Cena is #1 and Big Show is #2. Wait. How the fuck has he made 30 million and HHH has only made 25 million?

Date: Sep 04, 2012 at 2:06 pm$70 million? Really??? Wow these guys are over-paid. I had no idea! Think of all the children who could be fed in Africa, or all the research toward cancer that could be done, or all the homeless who could have a home, if these guys made an honest day’s work like all the rest of us, instead of being rich 1%ers.
Maybe it’s time Occupy Stamford looks into this, as well as bringing this up in the campaign against Linda McMahon

My company would have to pay me millions to be on the road for most of the year. Maybe you should occupy your own company to give you a raise since you’re so butt hurt.

Hey crab fishermen…I know you bust your ass and never see your families, but there are hungry people out there so we’re not going to pay you any more than someone working at McDonald’s! Truth be told, for the most part people who are starving within our country are too LAZY or too DRUNK to go out and make their OWN money. It should be up to our government to figure out how to feed the hungry, not professional wrestlers or any other HARD WORKING AMERICANS!
