How much was No Limit Records getting from all those WCW appearance around this time?
The relationship between WCW and Master P was supposed to be a symbiotic one, with WCW gaining exposure with fans of
hip hop music, and Master P getting his cousin
Randy Thornton (Swoll) a break in the wrestling business in the United States, as his only prior in-ring experience was a brief stint in
New Japan back in 1991.
Although the No Limit Soldiers, named such after Master P's
No Limit Records, were packaged as a
face stable, complete with a rallying cry of "Hootie-Hoo",
[1] they failed to connect with the mostly
Southern WCW audience. Master P was first introduced during a press conference on
WCW Monday Nitro on June 14, 1999. In his only other televised appearance, on
Nitro the following week, he and the Soldiers (including
Brad Armstrong, renamed "BA") bullied
heelwrestler
Curt Hennig by rejecting a present he gave to Master P's brother
Silkk The Shocker—a custom-made
cowboy hat—with Silkk stomping on it and Master P then assaulting Hennig with a birthday cake.
[1] This created confusion among fans as Hennig was a heel who was being bullied by a group of people promoted by WCW as faces.
[2][

$200,000 per appearance by
Eric Bischoff for his short participation in WCW.
