WCW Talent Contracts. Flair workin for peanuts! Kimberly made $200K for storylines with David Flair?

[TrueEpic08]

I saw the Tank Abbott numbers and nearly spit all over my keyboard. Holy shyt.

Tells you everything you need to know about WCW's finances...

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Ric was only making 500k

Ric took a big ass paycut when he re-signed in 2000 but loaded with incentives.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I'd pay Kimberly in her prime twice that

 

[El Guapo]

Some of these salaries

Knobbs $245,000

 

[Box Cutta]

Booker T ate decently well....Was probably lookin' at his brother's contract like 'it's better than nothing'....

Bret Hart's numbers...insanity....

Kevin Nash "Booking Service : $200,000"...that's fukking painful. They basically paid him to destroy the promotion....

I'd LOVE to see WWE's numbers from the same period.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Why Hogan shyt blank?

Cuz he had a blank check to work with

 

[GunRanger]

The kliq was making sure everyone ate


Wouldnt the wwf stars be considered c00ns in this scenario?

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

That wcw money was too good for bret Hart to turn down .

I don't know how the rock turned down that wcw contract. That contract money would have been huge for him.

I heard during them struggle years they paid kiss to perform one song on the show for 500,000. That literally had me like

 

[jackswstd]

Some of these dudes were overpaid like a muthafukker

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Demott was gettin like $250K and Disco was gettin $350K

u know why Knobbs was taken care of

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

A lot of those wwf dudes had to be feeling some type of way when they look on the other side and most of wcw`s roster is making six figures while Vince is spreading the salaries thin like butter on bread.

That Ted Turner money

"Dustin Runnels was at Starrcade, being called by management to return. Runnels is being paid $600,000 per year but the company isn't using him. When he got there, the company told him they had no plans for him, and he went back home." - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: December 25, 2000.

"WCW bought the rights to the Gorgeous George name to give to Lanny Poffo years ago but they never wound up using him. Poffo is still under a $75,000 per year contract with the company" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: August 6, 1999

"Jim Hellwig was in Wichita but they had nothing for him to do. Must be nice to pay a guy ($35,000 per night) and have nothing for him to do" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: November 23, 1998

@Hollywood Hogan

A lot of the big names had agents who made sure they had a good contract. Hogan and Goldberg had the same agent.
