Over the last few days, several details have come out in regards to the contracts of key WWE employees like Paul "HHH" Levesque, Mark Henry and WWE CEO Vince McMahon. According to a Friday March 2nd report by ProRasslin.net, the WWE published their 10-K report online. In that report, the WWE details two contracts that are vital to the success of the WWE.
WWE CEO Vince McMahon has built this company into a global powerhouse. Not only is it the most successful pro-wrestling company in the history of the sport, but it's also becoming a successful entertainment company. McMahon is in the second year of a 3 year contract that went into effect on January 1, 2011. McMahon makes a base salary of $1.1 million not including bonuses. However, the surprising news regarding McMahon, was the statement the WWE made in their report on what would happen to the company if Vince died or retired. To read the WWE's statement, click here.
Paul "HHH" Levesque, the son-in-law of Vince McMahon, is being groomed to take over the company whenever Vince decides to hand over the reins. In the report, the WWE announced that HHH has signed a contract to appear, and/or, wrestle for 4 more years. The contract went into effect on January 1, 2012 and expires March 30, 2016 when he's 46 years old. To read the complete details of HHH's new contract, including stipulations and pay, click here.
