This is kinda more embarrassing than if they offered them nothing. Shockingly low.

I got $900 in 2015 from an airline for taking an hour later flight… which actually left before my original flight.

$3,000 sounds legitimately embarrassing for real entertainers crew going all the way to Saudi Arabia. Especially given the history and that the pay is subject to taxes.

My favorite part of WWE is that they spent 30 years trying to convince everyone they were “real” entertainers, and the company itself devalues their people constantly.

Fuck WWE literally forever. Awful people.

Edited because I remembered the specific details

Thinking about this more actually just gets worse. The wrestlers crew are losing 3 days including travel time, at best. That’s a whopping $1,000 a day to go to a place they were TRAPPED IN before.

I’ve literally been paid that before as a contract software developer. I got paid that for an entire year, not as “hazard pay” for maybe being trapped in a hostile country. Holy shit, man.

The WWE are horrifying.

I’ve been corrected that it’s the crew and not the wrestlers themselves, but I’m still a little surprised by how little money that seems to go all the way to Saudi Arabia.
