The Stamford Advocate posted a new article revealing stock award amounts added to salary earned by several WWE executives.
Executive Producer Kevin Dunn earned $4.8 million, Chief Financial Officer George Barrios earned $4.5 million, and Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer Michelle Wilson also earned $4.5 million. It was noted in the article that the three made more than Vince McMahon earned ($3.3 million in 2015), and Wilsons pay out bumped WWE Studios President Michael Luisi ($1.9 million) from the list of highest earning WWE executives.
Additionally, Triple H was paid $3.1 million, being paid in two categories for his role as Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative, including $1.7 million for his role as an on-screen talent.

No wonder Dunn is holding onto that job with everything he has

I know creative writes the WM story in advance, but given the number of injuries that happened towards the end of the year (and then post) what other options do they have? Someone on /r/squaredcircle pointed out a good theory of WWE being too deep into things to just flip the switch and revert back. The Dean Ambrose hype/pop was there, but definitely not as big as it is now.

Hino vs. Tanaka was an entertaining variant of the big man vs. little man match. I can see how a guy like Hino would become a cult figure among puro fans; the guy's finisher is the Fucking Bomb.

Neville/Balor should at least be good, at least. Sydal/Cole sounds cool too.
The Drifter though, I'm really hoping he and Crews tear the house down at Dallas or something. Anything to make it feel like this whole Drifter experiment was worth it

Zach, I need your spreadsheet to see a few grades

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I personally like the Million Dollar Man theme, but that was Mitt's theme. I think the Million Dollar Man theme is just the general theme of the GOP.
The pinnacle of hardcore brutality in wrestling. That Mick Foley is something else.
Click the image, pal.

Thank you
What's the context behind this? Did Chris almost get Hayabusa'd and Curt saved him or was he meant to do that?

Thank you

Definitely a botch. And I don't think Curt intentionally saved him; I think they just got lucky.

My guess is that it was just a planned counter that luckily saved him.

Big E will that rewind to 1993
that NXT show looks abysmal outside of the main event
Also, the show includes
Austin Aries debut

I rather be called DMMauro, DMVentura or DM "The Brain " Heenan than Saxton. Josh Matthews is better than Saxton. F the current announce team
Shut up, Byron.

Next week looks pretty sick though
(the entire show is a 2 out of 3 falls Samoa Joe/Sami Zayn rematch of a rematch which leads into the programs they're getting at TakeOver Dallas)

I had to read that shit twice. That's funny.

While I don't think Lawler is at the top of his game anymore I'd still take him. Everything about JBL just annoys the hell out of me.
that should be good. this long, long stretch of canned NXT is really starting to wear me down. Need less filler, need less wasted time, need less Drifter.
dear god do something with this Drifter other than just put him out there to pout every week.

I like that we at least have Usos and Dudley's right now who can just tag teams instead of wondering will someone break away. Especially the Usos, they need each other. That would one team in nxt that comes out in black and white seem the same. What other teams are like this in nxt?
you know what's actually REALLY killing the Drifter for me?
bear with me on this
it's the scarf. he has an OK look, and depending on what they actually decide to do with his character going forward (I can see him being an OK lower-middle card or mid-card bad guy), it all hinges on ditching the scarf.
it just looks so stupid on him. it looks so creative team character brainstorm.
writer #1: "let's have a guy and call him the Drifter."
writer #2: "the Drifter? what do you mean?"
writer #1: "he's a guy that goes from town to town, show to show, and beats people up."
writer #2: "we've got a lot of those guys. they're called wrestlers."
writer #1: "but this guy brings a guitar around with him wherever he goes."
writer #2: "so he's jeff jarret now?"
writer #1: "without all the downsides of misogyny, but all the upsides of this badass SCARF I found at the goodwill".
writer #2: "you're a freaking genius".

A lot of the NXT teams feel pretty inseparable to me. Enzo and Cass, Dash and Dawson, Blake and Murphy, the Vaudevillains, even American Alpha feels pretty inseparable right now.
