Find out what pro wrestlers made before the days of guaranteed salaries. Today, the average WWE wrestler can make between 100-500k, with the elite superstars raking in 1 million dollars and beyond.
Hammer has a unique perspective because he was paid by Vince McMahon Sr & Jr in WWF/WWE as well as by Jim Crockett in NWA. We'll hear how much cash Valentine received in some of his bigger feuds like with Tito Santana.
Also, we talk about Greg's first Wrestlemania and how much money he was paid by Madison Square Garden. Was it better or worse than his payout from the first ever NWA Starrcade?
This clip answers a lot of questions regarding how WWE wrestlers are paid, based on their drawing power and position on the card.
For comparison purposes, Hulk Hogan was predominantly the heavyweight champion during Valentine's second WWF run. Hogan stated in his biography that he was brining in almost $10 Million a year at his peak in the late 1980s.
