(Note sure where to put this one) The wife was on about Brock Lesnar $1 Million fine for attacking Adam Pearce . This carried on my wondering for years . Do wrestlers really pay the fines or is it just a storyline ? Does anyone know ? .

No doubt scripted by Stephanie's crack creative writing team. On the next show, someone will brutally attack someone else with no mention of a fine or any other penalty. Don't expect logical consistency from sports entertainment.

I think it depends on the era, the fines, etc. Some are very obviously part of the "story", while others were more about out of the ring conduct (or in the ring conduct in the era of athletic commissions) and are probably legit.
Do I think Lesnar is going to pay a milion dollars for attacking Adam Pearce, absolutely not.
Do I think wrestlers had to pay a fine for showing up late to a show in Bill Watts' Mid-South? You bet your ass I do.

I used to keep track of the fines in my fed and do a tournament at the end of the year for the whole pot.

Pretty much any time they throw out large numbers in wrestling, it's storyline.
