RAW announcer Mike Adamle was going to start working with J2 Strategic Communications -- a media training company in Chicago -- but one day after his WWE hiring was announced, he pulled out, citing other commitments including his WWE commitments. WWE is reportedly paying Mike Adamle $300,000 per year for his weekly work on Raw (talent receive additional money for working pay-per-views). That translates to about $6,000 per show. $300,000 is close to what a high-end mid-carder makes on their downside guarantee. $300,000 is also equivalent to three or four entry level WWE contracts, or giving developmental contracts to 12 wrestlers from the indy scene.

I don't even care about the fact that he s up on a regular basis...$300,000 a year for an announcer who says 2 sentences per week to setup a video package?! Whether it's him or anybody else, that amount is absurd.

I have a new dream job and Mike Adamle has it.

He must have some dirt on Vince - that's the only logical explanation I can think of, because I can't see any other reason why he is still employed after all the -ups he's made on air..

[Lorenzo Alcazar]

Seriously, I guess when Vince McMahon likes you, he really shows it. I really want to know what this guy has done to deserve that kinda money?

Hell, I'd do that job for $50,000 a year.....I'm just as good as him....I can introduce Jeff Harvey and set up the video package for the EFWEEF title match coming up next.

[The Best]

He makes more than some wrestlers lol.

[heartbreakkid2k3]

To be honest, I think, right now, he's almost in kind of a training phase. I think, considering he just debuted, Vince is letting him slide on the screw ups, and letting him get used to the feeling of being on live TV. It's a big transition.

[James Hetfield]

I honestly don't believe any of this salary bullcrap that anyone comes up with.

[Deleted]

wow, that's sad, I just shake my head and wonder why God allows these crimes to take place.

[HHH316]

Damn, since Vince likes to throw around money so easily, I'd let him piss on me daily if he would pay my college loans.

Call R Kelly and offer him the same deal, your dream may come true.

[Controversial Maverick PUNK]

He's not needed - and he's a total waste of space..

[500DaysofNight]

Ehh... he serves his purpose I guess. That purpose isn't worth $300,000 a year... but what can ya do?

[kimberlysghost]

That guy is brutal to listen to. He seems like he doesn't know anything about wrestling. I guess it could be just nerves but he mispronounces names constantly.

[The Dude]

Who the hell is Mike Adamle? Why is this guy so popular to WWE?

[Mark]

Why the hell do fans care so much about how much someone makes? Jesus

Hey, he lives in Chicago. So the drive would be short.

i bet he does more than you all think, besides, why are you so concerned? wah wah wah, they make more than the wrestlers. first off, why is that your concern? and second off, you dont get into wrestling to become rich, if thats your aim you wouldve be lacing up the boots, so its standard to the guys at this point

I've heard that they are really good friends.

[King Shocker the Monumentous]

Salary aside...that job really belongs to someone else.

[wwejeffhardy1]

Wut is goin' on in teh E'.

[Mr. Old School™]

Good for him. I just hope he can make it a year, that's all.
