I understand If you was a top guy or midcarder teethering on the upper level that you'll turned it down but a low carder like Rhyno that's years past his prime and popularity? You gotta take the money.

In Chris Jericho’s first book, he told the story of how his payday for the main event of the inVasion PPV, a 10 man tag, was bigger than his payday for main eventing Wrestlemania 18. Rhyno was in the same match Jericho was apart of that night, and has held a spot in every major wrestling company since the late 90’s. I’d figure if he’s turning down whatever they offered him and been in the game this long, he’s saved well and doesn’t need it. Kudos to him for that

TSC is full of idiots.

Why would he take the money just to travel on his own dime 300 days a year and sit in catering?
He wouldn’t have to travel since he isn’t being used. He hasn’t done anything but the battle royal. He isn’t on standby so he doesn’t have to travel.

Imo he should have took it let his body rest for a few years and if he still wants to wrestle after he gave his body a few more years.

nikka I've left jobs to take less money to be happy. It's how I moved into the role I'm in now. Rhyne isnt getting a better deal ANYWHERE and he wouldnt have to do shyt. It's completely different than Sasha. Sasha is wasting her prime marketable years there. Dont compare apples to oranges and gimmick post someone else

It's clearly not about the money for him, though.

He wants to work meaningful matches with younger guys and develop new talent. It tracks with what he's been doing both in WWE and ROH for the last 7-plus years. If they're not going to pay him to do that, and he has money saved up and a side business for additional income, why take the WWE offer and not be able to do what you love for the next 5 years (and if he's smart, he'll be able to make a good chunk of that up on the indie circuit anyway)?

We may have taken the deal (and seemingly, at least one talent did take a $500,000 a year deal to do nothing for 5 years), but we're thinking differently than Rhyno is thinking.

I'm not going to hate on him for that.

it makes sense for him because of his political aspirations..unless he's done with that...otherwise it only makes sense for someone a little younger. if i was old i'd be happy af to get the check without having to do much outside of some house shows and some fukkery here and there.

Nah I'm not hating on him. Whatever he wants to do is whatever. I'm just saying he might as well take the Taker retirement plan while he does his other shyt. If hes gonna get double money and significantly less bullshyt, why not right? :yeshrug:
