It seems like Bagwell's claim has something specific to the WCW contracts rather than wrestlers just being entitled to royalties by appearing on the network. I'm pretty sure they are entitled to royalties just by appearing on the network, but WWF contracts at least probably contracted that entitlement out. But then they may not've foreseen this type of service well enough in their early 2000s contracts, so who knows.

It's basically impossible to narrow down how much Buff Bagwell and Raven draw for the network in 2017. But there are a lot of methods you can use, and one of them is the views of shows that they're on, or ow much time they have on shows they're on. That could be a decent amount of money, I'm guessing the 97-99 Nitros and PPVS do big numbers.
Yeah its the WCW content and talent that had these clauses, not WWF/WWE contracts.
they were contracted to get money from their likiness live, via video or future technologies clause.

In honesty, Vince has been very shrewd for too long.

At some point an L is coming. I just hope us fans aren't affected by it.

That's what Vince gets trying to be "entertainment". MLB NFL etc can play old games on TV all day long and no royalties are owed to former players. But in entertainment, royalties are commonplace
