man wrestlers back then was rolling in it if you account for that type of money back then was balling status :picard:

WCW wrestlers were rollin in cash from around '96 through 2000. Ted Turner cut them checks. There's a list somewhere but Hogan made $13M over the last 3 years of his contract.

HitGOAT made close to $7M over the 3 years he was there. Etc.

Court documents revealed it all.

The way those royalty checks shrunk after the Network era started. :picard:

I remember in Punk's podcast, that was one of the things he complained about. He was worried about what the Network would end up doing to PPV checks and nobody was giving him an answer.
Punk was ahead of the game. Hollywood all striking over that stuff now, 9 years after Punk raised issues with the Network.

Another thing the podcast predicted. I know people hate Punk on here, but I'm starting to think he was a psychic in a past life. :whew:

I wonder what the residuals/royalties are like for AEW recorded content. I know they sell some DVDs/Blurays for the PPVs but they can't be selling that much of them in 2023 I'd imagine.
