A reliable WZROnline.com source revealed to us that WWE management sent out a mass-text this past Friday informing talent in the company that they would be additionally compensated for the recent overseas tour of Brazil.

As noted in a previous exclusive article on WZROnline.com, mid-card talents in particular on this recent Brazilian tour, which was considered a huge financial success, received only $500 pay-offs for their work. In the past, WWE talent is accustomed to receiving anywhere in the neighborhood of $2,000-$4,000 for such a tour, depending on the amount of merchandise sold and the success of the live event gates.

On the aforementioned Brazilian tour, both the merchandise and live event gates were considered a phenomenal success, which left many talents in the company curious as to why they received such a low pay off. This particular issue is one that left many of the wrestlers in the company talking amongst themselves about how bad the compensation issue has gotten in present-day WWE.

    WWE finally realised that absolutely no one walked into the show to see JTG, Curt Hawkins and Alex Riley wrestle.

    CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Big Show, Chris Jericho, Christian, Zack Ryder… These guys actually put asses in the seats. If WWE sent out a questionaire asking people who they would pay to see at a live event, these names will be among the ones checked. I doubt we’ll ever actually have someone answer that they came to see JTG.

    JTG is lucky enough he’s working for this company. He is in a business where he either makes good money in WWE or he doesn’t make good money at all. WWE has the leverage here. They are acting accordingly.
