Stevie Richards Reveals How Much He Earned During Time in WWE
In the latest video for his Youtube channel (via Fightful), Stevie Richards spoke about how much money he earned per paycheck during his time with WWE. He worked for the company from 1999 to 2008. He said he made around $572 per week before taxes and after costs. His paycheck was around $1,442 per week.
He said: “Wrestlers choose to get paid $75,000 a year downside. I chose to have that for the opportunity of hopefully making more or hopefully renegotiating a contract. Whenever I did renegotiate, it always went back down to $75,000. My standard three years was 75(K), 75(K), 125(K). Every time we got towards the end of the second year, I was off TV or something happened and they needed to put me on another 75, 75, 125. Until my last one, which was three years at 75 and a few months later I was gone.“
