HHH has creative control.

Studa Baker he shouldn't, he's no hulk Hogan, HHH has never drew any money his entire life and never will, I've never heard anyone say I can't wait to see the triple h match.

@@dusteedawg2915 so NXT never made any money?

More

And 50 percent of Pay Per Views. Thats crazy

Kenneth Mcintire 15%

It was only 25% of any increased ticket sales/ratings. So if they only sold 50k PPV one year but the next they sold 60k then he got 25% of the 10k added views etc.

Ay, Hulk Hogan WAS pro wrestling at the time. When WCW got Hogan, they took over. It was worth it.

to be fair he was the biggest wrestler on the planet at the time

Basically.. Said seeing Bret was by far the better worker and didnt have to flop around the ring all night to get a reaction

Did you miss the time when Undertaker threatened to beat up Shawn, if he refused to lose properly?

Bret was going to put Shawn over at Survivor Series. But then Shawn said he wouldn’t do the same if the roles were reversed. And he basically said it on 2 different occasions. Ofc if I was Bret I would be pissed and refuse to drop the belt to Shawn after that.

If its really bret fault vince wouldnt let bret punch him and take it as a man. And thank god for the DVD coz who knows what the WWE would have spin this on and make bret looked like shit

They actually began work on the anti-Bret DVD before he agreed to work with them. People like Lawler supposedly did interviews bashing Bret.

Briiiiiii mooooooode!!!

Especially after Brie legit knocked Liv Morgan TF out tonight. That was bad to watch. I hope she's alright bc Liv is way under-utilized.

Exactly

But ultimately, this is nonsense. Wrestlers should have higher pay because they don't determine where they are on the card? Go into work tomorrow and tell your boss you should make more money because you don't get to determine what job you get to do. Go ahead, try. Contracts are negotiated, guys lower on the card make less money (which is still higher than they used to make in the early 90s), guys higher on the card make more. You think Shawn Michaels made the same money in 1997 that he made in 1990? Of course not.

Daniel Fraley Okay, but in my job I'm not being thrown around and risking not being able to walk when I'm older. Are you saying that because you can't get a raise in your day to day life then Ryback shouldn't point out an unfair pay issue? Lower and upper card guys are positioned for a variety of reasons, but one of them is promoters make the call who wins and looks stronger. Ryback said that it's not fair to be paid less because someone else decides he's lower on the card when he's taking the same damage and risks everyone else is.

But if Zack Ryder and Roman Reigns both went down with an inury at the same time, which one do you think would have a bigger impact on shows/angles/pay per views? That alone shows a disparity between talents. Same reason LeBron James and some lesser known guard don't make the same money. "But they both play the same game". See how it sounds in context?

Daniel Fraley But this isn't a real sport. It's fixed. A booker/promoter has decided Roman Reigns is more important than Zack Ryder. And now Roman's a millionaire because of that choice even though Ryder is putting his body on the line the same. You can make as many sport or real world comparisons as you like but wrestling is the only one that DECIDES who wins and loses which is why Ryback was upset. Have Ryder go over Undertaker at Wrestlemania and suddenly he's just as important as Reigns and because of this decision is suddenly being paid so very much more. That's what is not fair, his salary is at the whim of other people.

That's what I always thought..Its not a normal job where it's in your state, so I would assume also that the company would pay for road travel

Such a coincedent my password is FAHSBPFBTC plus I do not remember it I wrote it on a paper BIATCH HATERS

Awais Khan you forgot to put an I in the scrambled word

Yeah because the hundreds of thousands of dollars in pay each year isn't enough. Some make millions. They should pay for their own travel expenses.

@@subzero8679 Only about FIVE wrestlers make millions, and that's for a short time. Most barely clear minimum wage for the time they put in, and no benefits. They usually drop out with injuries and go back to grunt-work. Didn't you see "The Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke? That was a docu-drama about various pro wrestlers including Jake Roberts.

Yeah it's not like WWE is in debts they're making millions and soon billions!

He said no matter, not that it doesn't matter, and yeah it does, but they don't really have the freedom to work elsewhere... And in that regard, even Rybacks idea of equal pay, is not completely crazy, as they are puppets, that have little to no say in what they do, or how they are used...

Um, they are independent contractors. That's why they have, you know, contracts. This isn't 1980 where wrestlers, especially the mid to low carders, were making peanuts compared to today. These guys can pay for their own travel, expenses, and health coverage(all of which would be tax deductible).

They can negotiate stuff into their contracts but if the offer they receive isn't satisfactory then they're free to go look for work elsewhere.

@@Rockhound6165 For sure they can, after they've already made it big... Let's take Strowman for example and his 250k a year contract... He's definitely one of the main attractions today, but gets pretty much nothing, cos at the time contract was negotiated, he had nothing to negotiate with. And let's be honest, he did not get over cos of WWE booking, but in spite of it!

The Internet Wrestling community doesn't like listening to logic. Only their sheep mentality opinions

But Bret said he would drop the belt to anyone anywhere just not that night in Canada..but people "WWE" twisted it around to make it seem that Bret refused to lose in Canada just cause it was his hometown...whish is b.s. cause Bret has said multiple times that the reason why he refused was cause hbk said that he would never put him over..

@brypete 1021 Except Bret didn't refuse to lose to Shawn Michaels in his hometown because Bret's hometown is Calgary, Alberta and Survivor Series 1997 took in place Montreal, Quebec. And if you're thinking of the Canadian Stampede PPV that did take place in Bret's hometown, there was no refusal to lose to Shawn there either because Bret wasn't facing Shawn at that PPV; Hell, Shawn wasn't even booked for that Canadian Stampede PPV. As you rightfully pointed out, Bret's refusal to lose to Shawn had nothing to do with the fact that it was in Canada and everything to do with the fact that Shawn was just being Shawn.

THANK YOU! You took the words out of my mouth! People are selective to what they want to know about the screw job. Bret is definitely more honest about that situation than HBK. HBK didn't tell the truth about knowing all along til 2002

Grapefruit Simmons d

Ralphus was a God among men. The terror he brought to WCW in the late 90's would later be inspiration to todays horror films.

Ralphus was pure main event caliber. I do not see how he got skipped over. I have read he was in romantic relationships with all the Nitro Girls.

The women love ralphus. He was the pimp daddy of wcw. When Ralphus walked down the isle panties and room keys rained down. ..

Randy was always about family. I've never heard anything about him beyond what a genuinely sweet person he was

Apparently when Randy got his Break in WWF at the time the first thing he did was ask if they would give Lanny a job

You do realize all their "top 10" videos are based on articles from a month prior right?

@@Vladimir_Pudding yes, they usually are. And they usually credit them at the end of their videos. I didn't see that on this one. And I scrolled back on their site and couldn't find the article. Do you happen to have a link to it? I will gladly change my tune if you do.

whatculture.com/wwe/10-most-insane-demands-wrestlers-ever-made

@@Vladimir_Pudding interesting. I didn't go back far enough. I retract my previous statement.

Kai BuscusHD WHERE OH WHERE ARE MY ICE CREAM BARS???

Might explain why vince wants heel wrestlers to get booed in their own hometown since this century even though its played out now. 1st time i've seen a heel get cheered in his hometown was Terry Funk in 1989 vs. Scott Hall. Match should be on youtube. It was memorable. And ECW heel wrestlers get cheered in their hometown. Sometimes Ric Flair gets cheers in NC.

Wrestlers do their job wherever they are, Bret was just being childish and petty.

@@MorrisseyMuse Bret was not being childish and petty. Bret creative control in his contract which was given to him by Vince McMahon so Bret had the right to refuse losing the belt to Shawn if he didn't want to. Bret would've had no problem dropping the belt to anybody who wasn't Shawn Michaels

Bret Complains because he didn't want to do his job - Childish & Petty. Dean Ambrose Complains because he didn't want to do his job - Savior of wrestling. Wrestling fans are weird.

Derrick Likes NBA he was leaving anyways so i don’t understand why it’s such a hard pill to swallow it’s the guys last request. They screwed Bret that’s it.

Don't get me wrong, Bret is an all time great but he's not the best technical wrestler of all time. However I think that his request of not droping the WWF belt in Canada to Micheals is understandable

Eh. Just listen to Jim Cornette's shoot on it.

If an American wrestler said that everyone would think there crazy.

@@twilightabsol4346 It's not Crazy for Bret because WWE only works in Canada for like 5% of the time. 90% of the time WWE was in the United States. Which is why it's crazy for an American to ask that.

But wrestlers don't all bring in the same crowds/cash to their company...

@@MorrisseyMuse True. That really doesn't apply to the argument though.

TaserDellight_ That would be like Larry the Cable Guy asking for Will Smith's salary Payscale in wrestling should solely be based on DRAWING powerr Plus if you unionize wrestling, it would also make WWE the ONLY game in the business, and drive the indies out of wrestling. Leaving several wrestlers out of work

EVERY staged event is fixed, that doesn't mean Hulk Hogan got paid the same as Sly Stallone in "Rocky III."

Vince: "Yeah that's what Bret said.... I WANT THE MONEY YOU PROMISED! What a whiner."

He didn't even really mind losing to Shawn he just didn't want to do in Montreal. He agreed to drop it to him the next week

@@ValSempai it was both actually, he didnt want to lose to Shawn in Montreal.. And i agree with his point of view

It was and deserves to top the list.

+TheJwwinter - How is that an insane demand? If you were there during that era - Bret was a heel in America but a babyface hero in Canada. Shawn outright said he would never put Bret over, and Bret showed up every single day for work and never took a day off for the company. Could not say the same for Shawn. He had contract rights for creative control over his character, so his demand was 100% reasonable. He said he will drop the belt to anyone but Shawn, or he would drop the belt to Shawn anywhere outside of Canada. Sound completely fine to me.

Unggoy Lisser - Because that's like Arnold going to James Cameroon and telling only Kyle should be able to kill him and not Sarah.. Well that doesn't works that way, it happens what James wants to happen. A character does what a character is told to do. The contract right for creative control is new information to me, if that is true and if the stipulations of the contract were not met, I have to rethink my stance.

It was dropping the title on such a huge event in Canada, perhaps. He was ready to lose the title to Shawn on Raw the following eve, if I recall Wrestling with Shadows properly

@Bryan Mack wow ... Indeed a tricky situation!

I heard how Bret wanted to end it, in a no-contest, and that would suck. If I am paying for a PPV (remember there was no Network then, so you paid $50 a pop for a single PPV) you better give me a damn winner, and someone had better go over. Bret should have just done the job, then he could claim the high moral ground more. But he sunk to HBK's level by refusing to do the job.

Dale Henderson A PPV end in a no contest??? WWE would never do that, would they?

@@dhenderson1810 that sounds familiar. The no contest finish, like a run-in from DX & Hart Foundation members. Good points.

@@freyjafirefly9201 so did I, that's why I came here to find out 😂

Hey looking for this specific article on the website i can not find it can you please link ?

Shawn Gets Threatened By Undertaker For Failure Of Doing Such LOL

at the same time if a given Wrestler only works 4 matches a year (and maybe does a hand full of appearances to promote said dates, how would WWE realistically monitor them? - set the test Date too close to the Event and you risk a 'card subject to change'... - set the test too early and you're controlling their life away from work - Scheduling a Test in the first place essentially negates the randomness and in the case of point 2, do you really want that slippery slope to end at the door of your Work Place (imagine having to take a Breathalyzer on Friday Night to 'Prove' you'll show up Sober on Monday Morning at a Temp Job?) and how would an all inclusive policy affect guys like Rock or Foley who make non-wrestling appearances

Tim Janssen I don’t agree with the policy, but what I‘m saying is that this isn’t a Brock Lesnar perk. This is a part-timers perk. Triple H definitely isn’t getting tested and neither is Vince. Brock Lesnar was just the guy caught on something and WWE had to publicly admit what their policy was. If USADA hadn’t caught Lesnar, that provision would still be in the Wellness Policy, but few would probably know about it.

not disputing Brock's "innocence"... simply providing a plausible justification for the Loophole (even if the real reason it was written in if for personal gain for HHH & VKM)

@thekydragon correction: number 2 should definitely be on that list because lesnar is a piece of shit that thinks he's the exception to everything.

@@@TJ52359 you should dispute Brock's "innocence". he's nothing but an overrated overpaid asshole with no accountability in WWE. They need to stop letting him get away with shit and make him pay for his actions like UFC did. otherwise WWE's Wellness Policy is nothing but a damn joke.

Cena has lost big title matches several times.

We don't 100% "know" either way although from what Bret stated he did not want to drop the title where he grew up.

Just because we'd all take that sweet deal doesn't mean we have to be entertained when they trot him out for his 100th lazy suplex exhibition. He's making money on his name alone, but it's boring and has gone on way too long.

He says that, but Hall and Nash are very detailed in how it worked, even saying they waved it when Bret Hart got signed. It's a very specific thing to just make up, so I'm not believing Bischoff on this.
