The Wrestling Observer reports that independent wrestlers who sometimes appear on WWE TV as extras have received a pay cut. Indy wrestling talents used to receive $250 a night to work as an “extra” for WWE TV. However, due to WWE’s recent budget cuts, the extras now only receive $100 a night for the same work.
Extras include wrestlers who work as “security guards” or some of the members of the Rosebuds for Adam Rose.
