>“AJ Styles just carried Roman Reigns to two world class matches back-to-back. The second one wasn’t as good as the first, but it’s hard to top an all-time classic. Reigns carried his end, but that was all A.J. They keep beating that kid, and they’ve got a potential superstar on their hands."
>“(Styles) has only been working 16, 18 years, he’s got it figured out. Put a rocket on his ass and send him to the moon. I would love to see them run with Styles. I called him over the last time I saw him, which was before he got into that string of really good matches, and we’d never met. I said, ‘Hey man, good luck.’ When you see guys like that – who have been around the world and are veterans, you want them to finally get paid. He’s paid a million dues and he ain’t made no money. I want to see the kid go out and have a seven-figure year finally.”

Dumb neckbeard and his indy midget love.
Nowhere in that interview did he says that Reigns sucks
>>1381154
> want to see the kid go out and have a seven-figure year finally
but AJ already got paid 7 figures
>>1381224
He's earning 800k in the WWE, even Nakameme makes more money than him
I just realized if AJ loses to Cena at the end of this feud then he has lost every feud he has been in since he came to WWE.
Surely he will win it right?
Cena is at the age where he can start putting people over now right?
>>1381156
>dumb neckbeard
Also, you know, one of the most popular wrestlers ever.
>>1381240
hahahahahahaAHAHAAHAHAHHA
no.
>>1381237
whelp
but 800k is good right? by American standard
>“So Vince goes, ‘Steve, when you’re flipping everybody off and using that finger, USA is complaining. Is there another sign that you can use that everybody can do?’ And I said, ‘No, there’s not.’”
“I told Vince I was not going to change s---,” said Austin. “Vince goes, ‘Well, OK.’ And, of course, the cash register was ringing, we kept flying the middle fingers, and it was what it was.
How can one man be such a badass?
AJ is actually a draw so that could work
>>1381257
kek
Stone Cold AJ
make it happen.

>>1381279
I mean, AJ, Rusev, KO and Sami are making some dough off PPV bonuses though, right?
>>1381279
>undertaker shares a locker room with that boys
What a great dude.
>>1381285
Bork doesn't surprise me, but I'm a little disappointed in Dwayne.
>>1381279
>John = 9 mil*
BIG MONEY JHON>BIG MONEY MATT
>>1381279
Imagine being in WWE and no matter how over you get you'll end up being fed to Roman no wonder people hate working there
>>1381285
Wonder who's the new locker room boss now. I'm guessing Kane or Big Show.
>>1381290
>implying other WWE wrestlers care if they're scheduled to lose to Roman or even make X wrestler look good
AJ Styles fucking nailed it, pro-wrestling is like theater.
>>1381290
>>1381296
If it were me, I'd take a hell of a lot of pride in putting on a match so good, people were cheering a guy they fucking hate, even if only for a few minutes.
I think those guys care more about their performances and opportunities to preform for people (and well, money) than wins and losses.
>>1381296
yeah but unlike most there aj can just come to the us get some new fans and then have them follow him back to japan again to hit it big there again
>>1381293
It's likely Triple H.
>>1381279
What the hell??
Isn't Dean in their top 5 main eventer status?? (not counting part-timers)
why the hell is Ziggler treated better???
>>1381320
Ziggler's been around longer.
>>1381240
>Surely he will win it right?
Hahahhahaha
>>1381279
Why is Dwayne still payed 4 mil he appears like 3 times a year. Plus he can't even share a locker room with the other guys. Seems like the Hollywood attitude has consumed him
>>1381242
>one of
>>1381285
Undertaker is the king of the locker room man. He always has been.
>>1381281
i think that with the wwe network ppv bonuses are gone, i don't know how it works now but i remember that at the time of the launch of the network many wrestlers were concerned about it
>>1381352
4 mil to Dwayne is just lunch money in Hollywood
At Wrestlemania 32 I read some dirtsheets where Dwayne had his bodyguard/fuccboi/agent call his cousin to his suite in the arena during the Divas championship match
>HHH = 3 mil as a wrestler, 2 mil as COO plus 500k bonus if profits go up*
>>1381279
Why does seth make so much?
Why does brock make so much more than HHH?
Why does the rock still make so much? [spoiler]I'm kind of looking for a technical answer to this one.[/spoiler]
Why does Nakamura make that much for NXT? I assume it's because they took him from Japan and from what I've heard, he was the top dog there?
>>1381279
yeah gonna need a source on all of this nonsense
>>1381248
I'm a math major and can make 300k starting wherever I want. 800 is nothing
>>1381461
kek
>>1381279
>COO
umm you are aware that is HHH's KAYFABE title right?
HHH is not the COO of WWE in real life mark.
List confirmed for fake bullshit
>>1381310
>Only smarks hate him
>Implies all smarks are fucking stupid
All smarks are dumb neckbeards confirmed.
>>1381421
>Read some dirtsheets
Have sex
>>1381463
He gets paid as a wrestler and his role as COO.
>Being this stupid.
>>1381279
>Ryder makes 600k
Why do you fucking marks feel sorry for him again? He took a Youtube meme and turned it into a six figure career. He never deserved the main-event push that you idiots wanted him to get.
>>1381473
HHH is not the COO of WWE in real lifeyou fucking mark.
That is his job title IN KAYFABE.
In real life he is EVP of Talent, Live Events and Creative. That is his actual rel life job title.
He is NOT the COO of WWE IN REAL LIFE.
Am I getting through to you at all?
>>1381388
Do you even know how the network is profitable? In theory, the trickle down from it makes pay per view payoffs pointless.
>>1381478
Anyone who gets over deserves a main event push.
>>1381485
ON TELEVISION, HE PLAYS THE ROLE OF COO. HE GETS PAID A SALARY FOR PLAYING COO ON TV. TJIS IS SEPERATE FROM ANY MONEY HE MAKES FOR ACTUALLY WRESTLING. HOW RETARDED ARE YOU, YOU MONGO DOWNY RETARD.
>>1381478
>implying anybody ever said he should be a main eventer
cool strawman bro
Tell me everything you know
>>1381279
why does dwayne hate the other wrestlers
Former redneck wrestler loves current redneck wrestler.
Don't see how this is a surprise. And this push AJ is getting right now is probably the most the WWE are going to get behind him.
>>1381279
>you will never be born in North America, with a great passion for wrestling before even starting school, to eventually make it into WWE and reach 6 then 7 figures and hang out with the roster
>>1381478
Ryder makes 50k if he's lucky
>>1381320
Seniority bonuses, it's just like a normal company job, the longer you're there the more you get paid.
>>1381253
BASED AS FUCK
nakamura making 1.5 mil... for doing 1 minute matches with The Drifter... in front of high school gyms... so this is the genius of HHH...
>>1381461
Same bro. I'm a Mech E. major and can make 600k starting any time. I've got employers lined up as we speak.
>>1381154
Austin is a wrestling fan, and pointing out the obvious. Styles has been doing this a long time so he clearly is better then Roman. But let's be real, Styles isn't a WWE guy, and he is 39 years old. There is no chance Vince pushes him. He will win a few midcard belts, and have a few main event pushes. But he will never be WWE champion.
>>1381279
>the Miz making that much
For what purpose? The guy is a midcarder.
>>1381478
Why do you think he hasn't left the company yet?
>>1381572
Also, Ziggler is a two time WHC and a four time IC, and there are raises that come with holding a title.
>>1381584
And that's why Nakamura won't be in NXT for very long. He's a lock for moving up to the main roster within his first year.
>>1381478
You get over and people like you you deserve a ME run, thats how ideally wrestling work.
But i guess you are fine with Roman.
>>1381697
Isn't cena over 40?
Based Miz earning more than indie darlings. This triggers the fat autists.
>>1381769
The Miz has also held every (male) championship
He's been around for a while
>>1381757
He's 39, same age as Styles.
>>1381154
Nowhere did he even mention reigns you idiot.
>>1381769
>Implying anybody but retards like you stuck in the past think anybody has beef with Miz.
He has paid his dues and has improved significantly since his bygone days of being the Jannetty to Morrisson's Shawn.
He's right where he needs to be and is putting on good performances.
THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT RAMEN IS THE BEST WRESTLER AND CARRIED AJ YOU STUPID SMARKS
>>1381452
Memory serves me correctly, NJPW's booker Gedo said that if WWE ever wanted any of the top 3 in NJPW, in this case Nakamura, Tanahashi and Okada, they would have to offer at least 1 mil before any of them would even consider it.
>>1381461
Yeah bro I'm a Gender Studies major and I can make 6,000,000 anytime. That's all peasant chump change
>>1381285
There is a reason he is like one of the most respected guys in the industry. Taker never comes off as a diva. And he tends to look out for the younger guys in the locker room.
>>1381424
>No one posting the gif of HHH sniffing money
>>1381485
u r retard
>>1381769
The Miz basically appears on every show unless he's filming movies, he's deserve that cash
>>1381288
The locker room doesn't like Dwayne after directly main eventing WM28 and 29 and winnig the WWE title from Punk without doing anything.
