Well, that's not a lot when you consider he had to pay for all his expenses too. So a plane ticket to the show was around $200, then another $200 back. So now his paycheck is $600 for a 30 second spot. However, now he doesn't work again until the next week, so that $600 has to last the next 7 days. Oh, and don't forget he has to pay taxes on that money. It's gross income, not net income. So take another 25-30% off that $600 for the week and all the sudden it's looking not so great. If he was lucky, he'd get two shows in a week, but that didn't happen all the time.

I think Piper is just as right as Hogan, maybe more so. Good faces need good heels to beat up on and even lose to. Could you imagine the heat that would have been thrown at Piper if he had cheated at that match and he and Orndorff would have won? I know that wouldn't have happened, but I don't know if Madison Square Garden would still be standing! Lol

Some might not agree but I think Honkey Tonk Man is top 10 greatest wrestlers of all time and Eric Biscoff missed the boat on him and Jericho , Benoit , Eddie.G , so Ecric did great with NWO and after that swing and a miss

No, by no means was he a good WORKER. But he was a highly effective heel who was responsible for one of the best angles in the WWF of the late 80s ("Who´s going to finally end the reign of this impersonator?"). When he finaly lost the belt there was nothing left for him to do and he bounced around the indys beginning in 1990. Obviously his stint in WCW was a favor to Jimmy Hart, who also wrote a new song for the HTM in 1994. But it didnt work out since southerners were apathetic. He was a big draw for maybe 2 years from 87 to 88 but then he quickly faded away.

Honky Tonk Man was an established character that can at least draw heat. Pretty sure he must of of rubbed Eric the wrong way or he just didn't like him.

Brad Armstrong could easily sneak in and out the WCW head office as Arachnaman.
