at most 9-5's you should be paid based on how much you put into it, cause that usually translates to output and as a result $$$ to the company

WWE it doesn't matter how hard you try or how often you wrestle or how much work you put in. your value is determined by how much money you make the company, and workrate and trying hard doesn't automatically result in money for the company.

frankly if i were WWE this would be the perfect time to release him. his contract is obviously running out (since they are currently in discussions for his next one) and they disagree on his worth. ryback thinks he's worth more, well, then go somewhere else and show them. ryback is just another spoke in the wheel, and not an important one at that. win or lose this week on raw, ryback deserves to be paid like a midcarder.
