Former WWE Superstar Marc Mero took to social media to share a specific example of the royalty payments he has received from World Wrestling Entertainment.

Mero posted a royalty statement dated December 19, 2019, to illustrate the difference between the revenue generated by content featuring his likeness and the actual compensation paid to the talent. In the post, Mero stated that he was “partly responsible for $39,590.81 in revenue” during the reporting period. The accompanying check for that quarter totaled $71.47.

The documents provided a line-item breakdown of video sales and licensing fees:

• “The Evolution of WWE”: WWE earned $13,067.05, while Mero’s payout was $20.04.

• “The Evolution of WWE’s W”: WWE earnings were listed at $7,678.00, with a talent payout of $11.78.

• “Monday Night War Vol. 2”: WWE earnings were listed at $1,933.25, with a talent payout of $2.26.

Mero, who left the company over 25 years ago, used the statement to address the topic of compensation.

“That’s the reality for a lot of wrestlers,” Mero wrote. “We helped build the brand, the characters, and the moments fans still watch today, yet the compensation rarely reflects the value that was created”.
