How much does FCW Talent make?

Quote :

-- In a note on how much wrestlers under developmental contracts to WWE are being paid, those without any name value reportedly start out at $500 per week. Should a wrestler last a few months, his or her pay is bumped to $700. If they last even longer, it's evidently bumped to $1,000 per week.

Know what's sad? It's more then what the knockouts and most of TNA (non wwe) talent get

Thats not bad pay when you are being trained. $500 a week is nothing to be sniffed at.

Pays to be a shit rookie.

I need to go be a rookie

thats pretty good pay.

Good pay for shit talent. They should SERIOUSLY consider going back with OVW.

pray tell...who is shit talent thats come from FCW recently?

Recently? The Nexus for sure, McIntyre, etc. And Sheamus, they got lucky on.

All FCW is is nothing but models and children, nephews, nieces, grandchildren, cousins etc. of Legends of which few of them are gonna get the job done because they don't have what it takes to survive.

considering Barrett, Gabriel and Hennig are talented...what? Kaval was in FCW too, and Danielson was down there too but he didnt need FCW at all

Hennig is hasnt even reached his potential but he's alright and an exception, everyone in the Nexus is overrated nWo trash (Gabriel doing a 450 Splash is nothing new and Barrett's accent is nothing special), and 'Kaval' was Low-Ki/Senshi long before that FCW shit and I know what he can do, he doesn't even constitute as well as Danielson who had awesome careers prior to the WWE. You know exactly who I'm referring to, the models, the offspring of Legends, and other garbage the WWE brings in because they supposedly have 'it' when they dont have 'it'. OVW was not like that but it's what FCW is all about. Looks. Not talent.

Justin Garbiel is talented, along with the likes of Barrett (Whose accent is his real accent btw), Otunga, Hennig, Sheamus, Ziggler, Del Rio, Bourne, Hart Smith, Kidd, DiBiase, Swagger, Kaval and Kingston. Pretty much everyone who has debted in WWE in the last 3-4 years came through FCW so are you trying to say the last 3-4 years of new superstars are shit?

Well i won't call Otunga talented.....he's pretty horrible tbh.

Most the guys mentioned never learned their basics in FCW, well except Ziggler, Gabriel, Otunga and henning and All those guys are OVW alumni's with the exception of Gabriel, Otunga and Hennig.

Sheamus was one of OVW's biggest names.....DSW did awesome work with their talent as well, like Swagger and look how much DSW has helped Angelina Love and especially Taylor Wilde grow as a wrestle. Even in the divas you see the HUGE gap.....Alicia Fox, Maryse all spent most of their career in OVW...while The Bella's, Aksana, Maxine, Jamie, Kaitlyn, Naomi, AJ, Eve are all talent that got their basics in FCW..,and well just look at them.

AJ went in tp FCW basicly where Taylor Wilde entered DSW, raw and needed guidence....Taylor Left WWE with more crisp and clean moves and grew as awrestle....thus far AJ hasn't made MUCH improvements from the day she entered FCW..well watching back at her pre WWE matches, they were better then anything she has done thus far in the WWE. Serena grew soooo much while in OVW.

DSW and OVW were really good. OVW STILL has some really good up and coming talent.

no one was talking about the divas though, so we know how garbage they are

Most of them, yes. Gabriel can do a 450 Splash, who gives a fuck. So could Paul London, so could Marc fuckin' Mero. And for got's sake Sydal and Senshi were full-blown wrestlers WAY BEFORE that shit FCW, that's offense even putting them through that category. None of these guys can throw a brick compared to the ones the generation before them. OVW was way better at hiring and grooming talent, period. I have no faith in these fools. They didnt have territories to train in and be groomed in like the ones before them. They didn't work for years at a time before getting a break. That's what made Austin successful. That's what made Taker successful. That's what made jericho successful and the list goes on. These young bucks don't stand a chance whatsoever. The only ones that might go somewhere are those that made themselves in the Indys (the new territories I like to call them) or one of the few WWE hires that are hungry for it (Sheamus).
