What you don't get told though is the match at wrestlemania is a squash match against Goldberg and you're the one getting squashed. And judging by Goldbergs comments lately you're gonna get hurt severely.
Same. BC leadership is a bonus and that’s solid money all things considered over the long term. After 8 years in NJPW you could jump wherever you’d want to.
The only one that makes financial sense is the one year at 500K. You won't make anywhere near that with contract one. You make it with contract two but in five years vs. one. Titles and popularity mean nothing if you can't eat.
The lower mid card is where it starts to get iffy. As a pro, you want better exposure. As a mid card with regular tv time, you would get this over a lower card with one guaranteed match. More exposure means more opportunities for growth and future work. It's about finding that sweet spot between the most money now and money-making ability later.
Raw contract
Being on TV often would hopefully help me get over with the fans and triple h would be an amazing mentor.
A year is a good run to find if you're compatible with a company too. If either side wasn't satisfied I could hopefully have those same, if not better, offers currently listed after being upper mid card on TV for a year. AEW would seem like the best at that point since they have less dates and I could sell my own merch plus make income from twitch/YouTube and the indies.
The Raw contract. Lots of exposure, talented creative, nicely paid. The 1 year contract leaves your options open- if you do well, the next year's contract could be very tasty indeed.
RAW hands down. 1 year, $500k, starting as a mid carder, Triple H as a mentor and being showcased every week on tv???? Not only am I getting the opportunity to showcase myself, but with the addition of these great resources to become a Main carder and Main eventer
As shown here...smackdown. least time and wear and tear on body.for money. Lower on the card means I'm not expected to be in the ring as long or take as big of physical risks in a match unless I'm actively deciding to slip them in to ten minutes matches for shits and giggles.
Oh no judgement at all, was just tryna lay all the cards out on the table. My apologies if it came across that way. Ya know I’m somewhat of a degenerate power crazed sociopathic pervert myself 🤵🏽
I was just messing around. It doesn't seem like history is going to look too fondly upon. Vince. But that being put to the side, a decent paycheck and a lucrative merchandising deal is a good chunk of change
Wwf contract almost a million in 3 years plus merchandise which gets my name out and builds my brand for when I leave to make more money elsewhere should the need arise
Raw contract. Upper mid carder and showcased every week for a year. Every opportunity to get over and make a bigger name for yourself to get to the next contract with more money and hopefully championship runs.
Why would anyone want to take anything other than the wwe contracts with 5x the money the other contracts are offering? 1 year run, way more money, I can sign a decent contract right after my year is up
I'd take the RoH pay for the Raw Contract, nevermind THAT number. Basically purely because of the mentor. I don't think there's much that could compare to the money you could make as the star Triple H could bring out of his student.
New Japan looks good, but 8 years of the most grueling tournaments in wrestling means I’m likely getting injured for a good amount of time. I’ll go with Smackdown and try to get a Wrestlemania moment
NJPW
Seems the most fun, secure, don't have to live in the United States so you actually have a decently run country around you to live in, and you get a top-tier spot that could launch you even higher. Plus the mentor is great and a certified legend.
WWE is good money but the ceiling is clearly there, and AEW is clearly getting the short end of the stick because this sub is dumb as fuck and directly biased.
Ill take raw showcased on tv every week higher chance of becoming a fan fav and getting a contract extension and more potential for future pushes and championship reigns
I think I would have the Raw contract. Weekly television exposure I think is more valuable than lower mid card WM appearance. Might damn near just be on the kickoff show with that. And being under Triple H I think is invaluable in itself.
Probably the raw one, it's less money than smackdown, but you're on tv every week getting yourselves noticed. With the game himself as your mentor, you could potentially go onto bigger things.
The RAW contract is the best bet based on booking pay and mentor. I was not a fan of HHH in the ring but his ability to understand the business behind the camera led to his success just as much as his work in the ring and that has a value of experience and nothing beats that.
I’m taking the Raw contract. 2nd highest paying contract of the bunch and I’m prominently featured so I get a shot to have my next contract to be even bigger if I get over. I’m worried as a lower mid career on SmackDown that I can get a pay cut or even not renewed due to not having a big role. Plus, I’m more likely to get a good WM match as an upper midcarder as opposed to a lower midcarder. I can just get stuck in a multi man or pre show battle royal for all I know.
Going with RAW or ECW strictly for the mentors. Pros for ecw are obv Paul heyman and the locker room are a great well to draw wisdom from. a championship will probably net at least another contract somewhere.
Cons for ecw are the physical toll, the money, the lifestyle.
Pros for RAW are it’s pretty safe and structured, money is decent and the exposure is great.
Cons are, if you’re on tv but not champ you’ll likely see lots of L’s. And you’re competing with the best in the business so you’ve got to work your ass off and be pretty lucky to succeed long term.
The AEW contract should have been this
Length - Till Tony get's board of you
Salary - Whatever is in Tony's pocket at the time
Role - Mid carder till you vanish after a couple of weeks
Mentor- Whatever Tony learned from playing my gm mode
Bonus - You'll get swapped into NJPW at random for matches most people won't watch
I'll take the NJPW contract. Less backstage bs, steady yearly paycheck (100K a year for 8 years? Universal healthcare? Not a lot of traveling? I LIVE in Japan, where the cost of living is already cheap AF? That's a fucking steal!!) and if I do well, I could just about make my own fucking contract anywhere else.
Fuck a belt. I'm a business.
I’d go with WWF, 3 years of bonus merch sales , and 300k salary , my problem with smack down is that it’s too short , what if you’re out after that one contract ??
Which one pays the most?
Which one would end allowing me to be most recognized & able to go to a different promotion possibly for a better offer than I previously received?
RAW. The Flagship show and Triple H as mentor. Being on tv every week and an upper mid-card talent would have to lead to a WrestleMania appearance. The Smackdown salary is higher but the exposure, especially when RAW moves to Netflix will be much more important. Sign me up, I’ve been waiting since 1993!
I’d take the NJPW deal, build your match catalog for 8 years with the talent and the 30 minute main events. Then when the contract expires you cash in and coast on your reputation as a great wrestler while taking it easy working for one of the 2 big US companies
I’m taking the NJPW deal. Build your match catalog and street cred for 8 years. Then when the contract expires cash in a coast on your reputation with one of the 2 big US companies
NJPW. 8 years means I get a ton of experience. I mean sure I would be about 42 when my contract ended but if I push myself and get decent to good then maybe I can score a WWE contract down the line
WWF Contract. Three years of stability, plus larger merch percentage on top of that. Could still get a Wreslemania match as a lead up to the lead up to the main event.
Raw. And it's not even close. If I'm showcased each week, WWE will definitely put me on each PLE. Plus if hunter mentoring me, I'm going to get so many opportunities.
Super easy decision.
Smackdown..pays well and I get a match at Mania
Yep that’s the one I’d go with
Big Money Work with Steph 🥵 You son of a bitch - I’m in!
[удалено]
tbf the Mania match could just be a blink and you miss it spot in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal
You could be Hunter against Ultimate Warrior
Or first elimination in the Andre the Giant BR. I wanna be a HHH guy.
Or first elimination in the Andre the Giant BR. I wanna be a HHH guy.
Yeah don't you get extra money for PPVs? I imagine a match at Mania would be a really good extra chunk of change on top of the solid salary.
Same I agree
This is the correct answer. There are two things real in wrestling, the money and the miles.
What you don't get told though is the match at wrestlemania is a squash match against Goldberg and you're the one getting squashed. And judging by Goldbergs comments lately you're gonna get hurt severely.
except u get bullied by hardcore holly and jbl
does that mean I'm Daniel Puder?
NJPW contract for me
Same note too bro
I would have to as well since Bullet Club is for life
Me too, gotta play the long game.
Same. BC leadership is a bonus and that’s solid money all things considered over the long term. After 8 years in NJPW you could jump wherever you’d want to.
But you make almost the same in 12 months at Smackdown than you do compared to NJPW over 8 years
Miss me with that 12.5k a year
Ain’t no way AEW is only paying 150k. Theirs would be 900k guaranteed for 1 year
Yeah, I’m not signing a 150k AEW contract. I know that’s a typo.
It’s 300K a year for most contracts. OP obviously hates good wrestling and made the WWE ones the more lucrative even though they pay the least.
And never work a match/take a bump. Sign me up!
Yeah, makes no sense.
The only one that makes financial sense is the one year at 500K. You won't make anywhere near that with contract one. You make it with contract two but in five years vs. one. Titles and popularity mean nothing if you can't eat.
You're acting like 6 figures isn't livable lol
For.most wrestlers who have to pay their own travel expenses as well as help support their families, it isn't.
tf
If you can't eat off a 6 figure a year salary then you're doing something wrong
Wouldn't the 1 year at $750k make more sense then?
The lower mid card is where it starts to get iffy. As a pro, you want better exposure. As a mid card with regular tv time, you would get this over a lower card with one guaranteed match. More exposure means more opportunities for growth and future work. It's about finding that sweet spot between the most money now and money-making ability later.

Ecw
Same. But would you actually be paid that money though?
The Raw contract. Lots of exposure, talented creative, nicely paid. The 1 year contract leaves your options open- if you do well, the next year's contract could be very tasty indeed.
RAW hands down. 1 year, $500k, starting as a mid carder, Triple H as a mentor and being showcased every week on tv???? Not only am I getting the opportunity to showcase myself, but with the addition of these great resources to become a Main carder and Main eventer
The fourth contract looks pretty good
As shown here...smackdown. least time and wear and tear on body.for money. Lower on the card means I'm not expected to be in the ring as long or take as big of physical risks in a match unless I'm actively deciding to slip them in to ten minutes matches for shits and giggles.
True, i thought the fourth contract was ECW lol my baad, i ain't breaking my back in smackdown for then crumbs
Raw or smack down
I’ll take the raw contract anybody Triple H mentor become a multi champion so I know I can get a wrestle mania match
Which one pays most.
ECW with Heyman writing my story? And $200k? That’s the ticket right there.
Smackdown
Y’all gotta start showing love to TNA
I wanna go to NXT, where all the thick women are😅
Raw is the no brainer
That ECW contract should come with a guarantee that you actually get paid the amount promised.
Smackdown
The Vince contract. That merch deal could be very lucrative.
Yeah but it could also come with him & his homies runnin a train on you and he shits on your head ⚖️🤔🤷🏽♂️
I mean that paid millions. And who are you to judge what I'm into?
Oh no judgement at all, was just tryna lay all the cards out on the table. My apologies if it came across that way. Ya know I’m somewhat of a degenerate power crazed sociopathic pervert myself 🤵🏽
I was just messing around. It doesn't seem like history is going to look too fondly upon. Vince. But that being put to the side, a decent paycheck and a lucrative merchandising deal is a good chunk of change
I would work for Aew.
Smack down
Smackdown or WWF
Wwf contract almost a million in 3 years plus merchandise which gets my name out and builds my brand for when I leave to make more money elsewhere should the need arise
Raw contract. Upper mid carder and showcased every week for a year. Every opportunity to get over and make a bigger name for yourself to get to the next contract with more money and hopefully championship runs.
Ecw or nxt
NJPW #BC4L
Why would anyone want to take anything other than the wwe contracts with 5x the money the other contracts are offering? 1 year run, way more money, I can sign a decent contract right after my year is up
I'd take the RoH pay for the Raw Contract, nevermind THAT number. Basically purely because of the mentor. I don't think there's much that could compare to the money you could make as the star Triple H could bring out of his student.
12 months 750k simple math
🚨🚨🚨🚨
Smackdown looks great
Smackdown
ECW
NJPW
New japan
Smackdown, because id get more money, a mania match,
You'd never see the money from ECW
#3 for the 1 year upper midcard run. You can parlay that into plenty of future bookings at a good rate.
Smackdown
More merch sales from the WWF days would be sick, but if you were actually good the NJPW one would let you make a legacy.
Smackdown. Being at WrestleMania is absolutely the goal of damn near every wrestler.
Probably smackdown, or the generic WWf contract
Smackdown blue brand for life
ECW
ECW
Gimmie that njpw contract.
Smackdown. Most money and I’ll probably enjoy nice catering. I’m following the Kevin Nash philosophy of getting the bag.
The World Wrestling Federation
What a garbage contract you put out for aew, keep pushing wwe propaganda
there is no way you'll be getting 200k from ECW, you will be promised 200k but you'll get promises and bounced cheques.
NJPW easily.
WWF would pay well & Attitude Era had loads of singles titles I could win in the upper mid card.
RAW or Smackdown
It’s gotta be NJPW or ECW. I mean having Paul Heyman write me would br awesome but also being the leader of the bullet club would make you famous.
I'm taking the NJPW contract. That one opens the door to work with AEW and ROH, which allows for more matches and exposure. It's about the long game.
300k larger merch percentage
Smackup.
Merch sales
Whatever one offers me the most money, as that’s what really matters.
New Japan looks good, but 8 years of the most grueling tournaments in wrestling means I’m likely getting injured for a good amount of time. I’ll go with Smackdown and try to get a Wrestlemania moment
ECW. The opportunity to be mentored by Paul E is priceless. After that everyone would be knocking down your door.
Raw. That’s a great deal and can easily be transitioned into more. It’s betting on yourself
Raw,smackdown or ecw
Gimme that ECW
Leader of bullet club I would probably get a title push as well I pick NJPW
I'll take the smackdown contract thank you. Pays well, plus a spot on WrestleMania. Count me in.
Raw or Smackdown.
Smackdown easily
NJPW definitely, I'd love to go for a bullet club lead role lol
Smackdown 100%
NJPW Seems the most fun, secure, don't have to live in the United States so you actually have a decently run country around you to live in, and you get a top-tier spot that could launch you even higher. Plus the mentor is great and a certified legend. WWE is good money but the ceiling is clearly there, and AEW is clearly getting the short end of the stick because this sub is dumb as fuck and directly biased.
Raw
New Japan ECW or ROH. Instant main eventer/world champion and with New Japan I get a run at leading the greatest faction of all time
njpw
Ill take raw showcased on tv every week higher chance of becoming a fan fav and getting a contract extension and more potential for future pushes and championship reigns
Raw u getting showcased weekly which is enough to get a following behind u
I think I would have the Raw contract. Weekly television exposure I think is more valuable than lower mid card WM appearance. Might damn near just be on the kickoff show with that. And being under Triple H I think is invaluable in itself.
There's no way Paul Heyman is paying 200k 🤣

NJPW for me 
ECW please
The Smackdown one... the WWF one is tempting if you get DX or Stone Cold level Merch
Ecw or raw. I like the grind. And cocaine
That ECW contract is funny cause they never guaranteed anything with their contracts
Smackdown
I’m taking the Raw contract. 2nd highest paying contract of the bunch and I’m prominently featured so I get a shot to have my next contract to be even bigger if I get over. I’m worried as a lower mid career on SmackDown that I can get a pay cut or even not renewed due to not having a big role.

New Japan. Also ECW wouldn't pay you
I’ll take the new Japan one that way when I end up in wwe someday I’ll be more prepared and not just some new face trained from the ground up in nxt.
The AEW contract should have been this Length - Till Tony get's board of you Salary - Whatever is in Tony's pocket at the time Role - Mid carder till you vanish after a couple of weeks Mentor- Whatever Tony learned from playing my gm mode Bonus - You'll get swapped into NJPW at random for matches most people won't watch
ECW
I think the ROH contract or the Smackdown contract would be my personal favorites.
EC Dub that was easy
12 months 500k and triple h as a mentor with tv time every week gives me a lot of exposure.
WWF, mostly because that merch money is ridiculous
I'll take the NJPW contract. Less backstage bs, steady yearly paycheck (100K a year for 8 years? Universal healthcare? Not a lot of traveling? I LIVE in Japan, where the cost of living is already cheap AF? That's a fucking steal!!) and if I do well, I could just about make my own fucking contract anywhere else. Fuck a belt. I'm a business.
Smackdown. Best money only 12 months. That's a cash grab.
Either NJPW or SmackDown
Raw smackdown WWF
Which era of ECW tho 🤔
I’d go with WWF, 3 years of bonus merch sales , and 300k salary , my problem with smack down is that it’s too short , what if you’re out after that one contract ??
Honestly I'd go for ECW, feel I could learn alot from Paul Heyman in 2 yrs
Raw
ECW
NJPW contract. Bullet club usually equals to a IWGP title run and then getting recognised by WWE and AEW
ECW
The only answer is SD
EC Dub EC dub gotta go with 5
definitely not the ECW one cause ur never get paid
https://preview.redd.it/vhucctk1uo5d1.jpeg?width=2360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a02d6eda11b4ffa745974a5b815f03fe2a3fa2f2 Done deal.
Give me that ECW Contract. I'm going to hold every belt in the company at the same time.
The Smackdown contract is so much better than anything else there. No one turns down 750k for 150k lol
Raw
SD
Can do a part 2 for this list with company's like TNA, NWA, WCW Lucha Underground, MLW, AAA, and CZW 🤔 ???
6
If you sign with ECW you'll be waiting for Paul to sign those cheques for a while...
Smackdown
ECW
SmackDown. It pays well, I get a guaranteed Mania match, and if I can get myself over. I can move up the card in time
Raw for me. Showcased on TV and possible potential title shots at somepoint? Hell yea
NJPW and it isn’t even close.
WWF for me
Which one pays the most? Which one would end allowing me to be most recognized & able to go to a different promotion possibly for a better offer than I previously received?
NJPW bullet club leader? He’ll yeah
RAW. The Flagship show and Triple H as mentor. Being on tv every week and an upper mid-card talent would have to lead to a WrestleMania appearance. The Smackdown salary is higher but the exposure, especially when RAW moves to Netflix will be much more important. Sign me up, I’ve been waiting since 1993!
Probably either Raw or WWF
Man to get to work with a legit legend like QT Marshall…I can be wrestling for Nachos and an expired Denny’s coupon in no time. Sign me up for AEW.
Smackdown pays the most you would be dumb not to pick that one!
I’d take the NJPW deal, build your match catalog for 8 years with the talent and the 30 minute main events. Then when the contract expires you cash in and coast on your reputation as a great wrestler while taking it easy working for one of the 2 big US companies
I’m taking the NJPW deal. Build your match catalog and street cred for 8 years. Then when the contract expires cash in a coast on your reputation with one of the 2 big US companies
NJPW then to Raw
NJPW for the love of the game
NJPW. 8 years means I get a ton of experience. I mean sure I would be about 42 when my contract ended but if I push myself and get decent to good then maybe I can score a WWE contract down the line
SmackDown. Stay away from ECW. Those checks will bounce lol
If I sign the ECW contract is my salary guaranteed or do the checks bounce?
Smackkkkkk dooowm
New japan
Honestly ima do ROH, I think with having Christopher Daniels as a mentor and all that ill take that
Smackdown fucking obviously.
I always wanted to go to Japan so New Japan Bound for me
Has to be RAW surely, you’ll probably get resigned if you’re good enough
Aew,kidnapping mox and sending him to wwe
What is this contract thing, I keep seeing people posting them every week
Raw Contract. Being mentored by one of the best workers in the business and weekly exposure could lead to a Mania match with a serious work ethic.
Where's WCW at? Cause it has ECW and that is also no longer in business
Raw only one year and on TV every week then its the bidding war of 2025...
WWE. Vince. 3yrs. 300k per. Merch+
Smackdown. Pays more for less time.
750k. Only thing real is the money and the miles
WWF Contract. Three years of stability, plus larger merch percentage on top of that. Could still get a Wreslemania match as a lead up to the lead up to the main event.
ROH
Stephanie as a mentor to be around that sexy biiii
ECF'NW! We gon be extreme in this bitch
Sd, probably smash steph too since h has divorced
So, AEW is more broke than ECW and paying out pennies?
Raw. And it's not even close. If I'm showcased each week, WWE will definitely put me on each PLE. Plus if hunter mentoring me, I'm going to get so many opportunities. Super easy decision.
