How Vince McMahon's Answer Left Dwayne The Rock Johnson STUNNED When He Asked For $2 Million | WWE

[@smoothcriminal8168]

He can sit there now and talk about it because Vince isn’t there or at the top anymore. That’s my opinion. Don’t forget that Vince McMahon payed enormous amounts of money for his ex talent (rehab, legends contracts etc) who stabbed him in the back for that guaranteed contract back in the days.

Vince was/is a prick. He might have taken care of the top guys, but many put their bodies on the line while Vince made millions and didn't get much.

It's more like $15m in his whole wrestling career. Not per year. Especially in 1999.

[@mikem10481]

Steve Austin earned $15 million dollars in 1 year, and most of it came from his merchandise sales.

[@jabedoben]

Rock headlined multiple PPVs that year, including WM15. Between that, merchandise sales, and house shows, if he didn't hit 15 million then he came close.

How I wish I could go back to 1999

[@DewWhatsRight]

I’m about 99% sure that his lying about Vince mcmahon sending him to shadow an executive.

[@Gareth-dq3lg]

Your no stone cold

[@MrKAKARONALDOMESSI]

Because he's Dwayne The Rock Johnson

[@JustinGill-cl5yo]

Yeah, because he’s Dwayne The Rock Johnson, or more successful human being at this point in their lives

[@Gareth-dq3lg]

@ what at making flops there be no rock without stone cold but there be stone cold without the rock fact

[@TurboFist0]

Correct, he's The Rock and he was just as instrumental as Stone Cold was in turning wrestling into the massive thing it became in the late 90s and early 2000s.
