So while all of the wrestlers, especially vets such as Michaels, Triple H, John Cena, MVP, and others are making hundreds of thousands or dollars, they deserved to get it because they are wrestlers in a wrestling world, Vickie was not.
Also, it should be remembered that the WWE paid for all of Eddie Guerrero's funeral on top of other expenses. They even gave Vickie the rest of the money left on Eddie's WWE contract. So they helped out Vickie and her children a good bit.
She has not been complaining about anything with the WWE about money, so we cannot blast her for this. However, the locker room needs to get the clue. They are the ones complaining here.
They need to realize how much the WWE has done for her, before jumping up and complaining if you ask me.
Rey Mysterio update
It seems issues with the WWE and Mysterio have calmed down. As I said in past 411s, there was a lot of issues with Mysterio and his WWE contract. He is not making as much as he would normally make. He signed a $1.5 million deal; however, that is over four years and down from his previous deal.
He was injured when he signed the deal with the WWE after his previous deal expired. The WWE didn't want to take a chance on Mysterio too much because they didn't know how healthy he would be.
Because of that, they offered him less. He felt originally that his merchandise sales would do well, so he didn't complain about getting a better deal at the time.
Because of the economy doing so poorly, sales have gone down and the money is not there like it was when he signed the deal.
The contract was okay, because he knew he would get money from merchandise sales and because they are down, he wants more money. It seems fair, but the WWE does not want to pay him any more.
Mysterio told the WWE he could make more money down in Mexico, so the possibility of him leaving was there. The AAA promotion in Mexico reportedly offered him a $1 million dollar signing bonus and $1 million per year.
So he would make more in AAA, so if the WWE wants to keep him, then they will pay him a bit more or give him more of a percentage on his merchandise sales instead of around 15 percent to 25 percent or so.
That would work for him, I'm sure, at least until his current deal expires. However, I think he may retire after his current deal is over, as he does have three years or so left on it.
He would be in his late 30s when this current deal expires, so will he come back? Not sure.
As of now, Mysterio is happy with where he is at with the WWE. He is now Intercontinental Champion, for the second time in a few months. So, I would think he would be happy with his role personally.
He is not unhappy with his role obviously, just the money he is getting. All we know as of now is that the issues have calmed down between the WWE and Mysterio. There have been no talks of renegotiating his contract, however.
Lilian Garcia leaving the WWE
As of right now, Lilian Garcia has told her fans that she is leaving the WWE after her current WWE contract is up.
She wants to get married and focus on her singing career. She has been in the WWE for over a decade. She doesn't look like it, as we all know.
