How much do independent wrestlers get paid?

Independent wrestlers get paid different sums of money depending on the promotion. It can range from 50 to 100 dollars if you as the wrestler is just starting out and or the promotion is just starting out. However, if you made a name for youself in a major company, than you can pretty much set your own price and its up to the promoter to pay it.

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.
