Jerichos final paycheck seems like it doesnt even fit on this list but 3 mins for $100k is a dream

WWE paying Floyd Mayweather for a one on one singles match against The Big Show at WrestleMania was an insanely estimated amount of money.

They don't call him Floyd "Money" Mayweather for nothing 😂

If Goldberg got 2 then you know the Undertaker got 5+

Almost spit out my food when they said 15 million for Fury. Vince and co. could never recoup that much from tickets or buys to justify that.

$2 million for literally the worst match of all time!!! Damn... I'm happy when I get time and a half!

I can see why so many wrestlers in WWE never leave. They'd get paid well enough to Not wrestle for anyone else.

I could never figure out how major companies forget a talent's contract is expiring, especially if they're going to throw a belt on them.

Nah Vince didn't suspend the Ultimate Warrior he FIRED him after the show immediately.

$20 Million Dollars Holy Sh1T. 🤯

Brock Lesnar got paid $15 Million Dollars to only wrestle 2 Matches. SummerSlam & Wrestlemania.

I remember hearing and reading Jeff Jarrett held Vinny Mac up for $300,000 due to royalties owed to him.

Until he showed up in WCW, I spent months wondering what happened to Jeff Jarrett after No Mercy 1999. I don’t think they had too much backstage information on wrestlers back then.

the way Jerrico feared Tyson's punch reaching his face🤣🤣

Honestly, Jeff Jarrett really didn't hold up McMahon because his contract had expired and JJ gave his free agent fee to wrestle.

Never been this early. Love your channel, Wrestlelamia!!!!!

I get the fact that Goldberg wrestled in his undoubtedly disastrous match against The Undertaker back at Super showdown or crown jewel but I gotta say atleast he still put in the work and got paid a lot of money for that single match.

Floyd was called "Money Mayweather" for a reason. He was a massive star in the world of boxing, and he was paid as such.

The story of Undertaker Wrestling John Cena @ Wrestlemania 34 was absolutely hilarious especially with John Cena Confronting Undertaker's Daughter since even she was disappointed of the Match I believe that was mentioned during the last ride documentary I could be totally wrong here

I’m surprised Cain Valesquez didn’t make this list. In UFC, he beat Brock Lesnar in one of the biggest upsets in history. He then made his WWE Debut against Lesnar, but was squashed by tapping out in two minutes. Fans questioned what he was thinking agreeing to this, but it was the money In the end, he was paid $750,000 for less than two minutes of fighting

I’m curious how much Austin made on his return match. He did a better job than half this list of performers and is still one of the biggest names to date

You gotta admit Lesnar is worth every penny whenever he's in the ring.

$3,000,000... Yep, that explains why HBK came out of retirement after 8 years for a random one-off match at Crown Jewel. Can't really blame him with that kind of paycheck.

20 million dollars?! Who he think he is Chelsea Clinton 🤔 🤣

20 Million Dollars for the Millions . . . and Millions of Boxing and Wrestling Fans around the world

Floyd Mayweather still got that wrestlemania money 😂😂😂😂

Very interesting video awesome 👌 👏 👍

20 mln for one match?INSANEE

Big show deserved that payday for unrealistically putting over someone a quarter of his size

This is the kind of juicy wrestling content we need! Ofc the best wrestling yt channel would post this kind of vid! keep em coming! 🔥

3.5mil for one appearance in the mid 90s. That's crazy for back then I was at the show where Mayweather broke big shows jaw.

uff i never realized how bad the jackhammer botch was.. mark could be paralized or dead

3:13 Why Bret Hart Hates Goldberg.

Rip Christine mcvie

Chris Jericho paycheck for $100000 was severance that’s why it was so much for that one four minutes entry.

Insane how they can pay that much for so little time.... Wow congrats to all them stars

I am your #1 Fan

Dang #Tyson got $3.5 mill back then imagine how much that's worth now a days.

guess that's why a "nosebleed" seat at the "Royal Rumble" here in San Antonio in January is listed at $40... top level back row... no thanks...

Goldberg got 2 million to fight taker at super showdown, Taker got 2 million to squash Cena at WM 34, Brock got 3 million to squash Strauman, Shawn Michaels got 3 million in the tag match with taker, kane, & HHH. Mike Tyson got 3.5 when Steve fought Shawn at WM 14. They gave Floyd 20 million to fight Big show. So I’m not delusional.

"I need the money, man. I need the money". That's what Iron Mike said at the WM XIV post-show presser...we know why he was suspended from boxing, and how Shane and Vince struck that deal...

Vince didn't suspended Ultimate Warrior he fired him on the spot .

If someone could clear this up for me that would be great because I’m a little confused… How is it that someone like Brock got 2-3 million for a single match even though he’s under contract with the WWE and I would assume is already getting paid annually?

I'd be pissed if I was on the active roster and the Saudi show came up Biggest house show and undertaker or Shawn Michael's comes out of retirement to get the main event money

Lmfao the shawn micheal thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣🤣

1:49 Jeff Jarrett’s controversial departure in 1999 lead to him being BLACKLISTED from WWE for almost two decades. 5:16 The match was a flat out disaster, effectively ruining the rest of the broadcast along with Shane McMahon’s controversial World Cup win, and the infamous main event where Undertaker and Kane teamed up against Triple H and Shawn Michaels. 8:10 The match was also a no disqualification match.

its funny an even sometimes sad how much or little wrestlers get or got paid

WTF I wouldn't pay Jeff Jarrett 200k even in Venezuelan bolivars.

Even with these amounts, Kurt Angle’s $10M asking price for a retirement match still seems outrageous.

It amazes me every day, that Wrestlers are paid so low amounts.

🔥

Now I know why Jeff Jarrett went to WCW and then TNA when WWE was available for him to return during the WCW Invasion

I don’t know how you figure mcmahon got the last laugh with Warrior. He paid him $550k. Warrior wasn’t a fan of wrestling and it was about getting paid. He laughed all the way to the bank.

Paying $15m to Tyson Fury is like throwing your hard earned money down the drain. The guy is the most over hyped and useless boxer in history

We all in the wrong business we should join wwe lol I'd gladly take 3 million for 3 minutes like Jericho did

Damn, Shaun looks old asf in that thumbnail....

I’d put Lanny Poffo on this list as an honourable mention.....WCW Paid him for either 2 or 3 years just because he is Macho Mans brother...Of course they never used him once...I forget the amount per year..I think it may have been $175K..No matter what it was..it was all free money...👊

HE crushed that Lionsault

Lol I skipped watching BigShow VS Floyd during WM when it was live.

Well Goldberg gets loads of money for his one match disasters..🤣🤣

BORK LAZER

Wow $20M for Floyd surprised me. But hey, his match was probably the most entertaining on this list lol.

ok that explains why Merryweather said that he's the $20M man during the weigh-in between him and Big Show on Raw back in 2008. cause he was foreshadowing what he was paid for that match.

It's come out since that it was Vince Russo who encouraged his buddy Jeff Jarrett to wait until his contract had expired to hit Vince McMahon up for that money to drop the IC title to Chyna.

Please share the title of the song in the background 🔥

I'm sure stone cold after his match with Owens would be somewhere on this list.

It's hard for me to wrap my mind around a person getting 15 million and another person getting 20 million I've had times where I've said my head hurts thinking about that but this is on a whole another level almost feels like I got a lobotomy.

Wasn't Goldberg paid $10 Million Dollars to do Crown Jewel?

Steiner now get $20 and a sandwich to wrestle in a High School gym with an audience of 25.

Insane

Big show the only one who really gave Mayweather the fight for his life you can hear the pain when he squashed him and threw him like a rag doll.

I can't believe the highest payment was 20 million dollars compare to super crazy that got paid 500 dollars

Wonder how much Stone Cold got for coming out of Retirement to face Kevin Owens? Gotta be a few million!

Surprised the Rock wasn't on this list.

3.5mil and that was like 30 years ago damn tyson

WM24 Made 23M in PPV buys and 6M for the gate. There is no way they would've given Floyd 20M

Not surprised the biggest isn't a wrestler but more surprised by the amount and that it was a boxer as opposed to someone else.

Howard Stern wanted a million for an appearance. Vince said nooool!

Yeah those legends such as Goldberg, HBK, Undertaker, and Lesnar damaged their legacy by taking the money, and delivered a bad match.

gotta love that sweet saudi money!!!

I never miss an opportunity to say; SlapNuts

Ultimate warrior wouldve had a hella great hold up number these days

Floyd Mayweather put on a great performance with Big Show. He needs to comeback to WWE asap.

Jericho was not in the best shape for that night, was he?

Tbh HBK didn't need the money since he was already getting enough from being part of NXT backstage

Damn I have to work all year just for 200K

Vince suspended the warrior for wanting half a mil, but he gave wrestlers 3 mil for 3 min. I wonder what's the lowest they got paid.

Goldberg should have paid The Undertaker 2 million dollars for that horrible match

Mayweather lit big show up

I'm acting suicidal again,I don't think I will survive this one,help

brock and Shawn deserves that 3 mil

Vince put the E in WWE

I'm sure plenty of wrestlers earned way more than 100k for one match

money talks. but when they pay these bulk deals and guys get cut because of budget reasons never adds up to me.

I wonder how much Warrior got for his run in at WM8

Here's the takeaway ... Horrible quality matches, short in length, Saudi Arabia money. Oh and two boxers made more than any actual wrestler. Yeah.

Love wwe

WWE paid so much Money for "athletes" that gave awful matches... And they don't pay for wrestlers of Indies that could be the future of business

Surprisingly Mike Tyson is worth less than what he was paid

1:01 i don’t believe you are you telling me he wasn’t paid more than that as Undisputed champion I thought get paid big as champion
