If you point for too long your arm will legit hurt

It's the Wall brother. Hey Wall, come down brother!

That’s the wall brother

@@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats I would do that for $50,000 and save you $25.000

I could live with (and off of) that.

Ralphus was never paid 78k thats ridiculous. What culture is constantly full of shit

Sounds like a good job to me

@@anthonyamadeo8386 These contract numbers were publicly disclosed during a lawsuit in 2001, goober.

@@adamhovey407 it's not enough doing what they do though.

Genius

Gold!!!

Never doing the J O B.

8:30 $150 per annum? LOL BlooperMania

I'd watch that

WCW paid many wrestlers a lot but still gave us years of great TV

@David Rosales WWE- Take this money, shut up, go home, and wait for us to call you

Lmao

I would not complain if I was a wrestler

😂 me too

@@jonathancoleman7148 It is sad, cuz although there are still a few gems, WcW in 2000 is pretty fucking bad. Whats weird is that they changed the whole presentation of the show and thought it looked better, and in reality it looked way worse and cheap

But true

Shut up and watch it than

anything wrestling wise PRE 2004 is better than today

Worth it to have randy savage

A $250K a year contract, no less. A quarter million dollars to not do anything at all, ever.

@@jedshaffer5956 I need to become a wrestler who doesn't wrestle

Wow This was my guess for #1

Something similar with iron sheik

I can understand these kinds of gaffs being made. What I can't understand is how they make it into the final, edited video.

Depends on what you consider near. It was in Atlanta and the PC in Florida.

Lmao

I was wondering if anyone else caught that.

We all caught that. I love whatculture but they tend to do quite a few of those mess ups

Scott Hall is worth 10 Lesnars. Fight me.

@@MegaTermsOfUse no disagreements. Say hello to the bad guy

Regardless Scott Hall was a huge talent and had great talent and was a huge part of WCW

@@Qeder7771 Was, yes, no, I do not believe so anymore. How do I know you aren't one? I assume you aren't, but don't be so critical of someone else when we all have our demons.

But wrestlers don't get paid just to wrestle, there's the stuff on the mic, the behind the scenes interviews, they don't to that for free Using that logic I could say "How much money did Bobby Heenan make just to stand at the ring and watch the match with the occasional interference?" But I don't, because that would be ridiculous

Brad Armstrong got $150k a year and he was at home for 3 years

Nailz (Kevin Kelly/Wacholz) was signed by WCW made 244K and they never used him.

That’s so hilarious I never knew that

Hell yeah get pay to do nothing lol

I was 13 when they went out of business, so not sure what I would have done. That said, if they were still around, I would go apply to work for them.

No way would probably be the bulk of the company getting under 50 k

Hahahahahhaa

@@lupillosanchez6620 😂 i would’ve love it

Halfa a mil

You're not going to like or believe this but his WCW salary was... wait for it... $300,000 PER YEAR. The guy didn't even deserve $300

Maybe after bonuses, he made that much his entire tenure there, maybe a bit more, but not that much.

His contract was reportedly 2.5 or 3 million a year on a 3 year deal

@@theceng That is correct, with the estimated output that he would make roughly 9 million by the end of his three year contract. WCW's problem is they literally had no idea what to do with him, what's crazy is when Shawn considered jumping pre-injury/pre-screwjob because he missed his friends, Vince warned him of the same fate and sure enough that happened to Bret. Literally up to his chest-plate promo a year and a half after jumping, the company did nothing with him besides make the US title look relevant by putting it on him. It's a true shame because of how much momentum and fan support Hart had post-screwjob, I actually thought his first couple months were handled pretty well considering all the depressing baggage he left behind and a hand injury from punching Vince. The Starrcade referee angle worked well for Bret (not so much for Stinger due to the Hogan/Patrick politics) because he was limited in what he could do and the company elevated him right into the main event scene, serving a sequel to Montreal while providing a powerful climax to an 18 month saga, then a month later his first match on a payperview he beat Ric Flair. Sadly from there until the chestplate promo he was undoubtedly screwed, then with understandable reasons he needed time off after the loss of his brother at the height of an intense angle with Goldberg, when he did come back into the World title scene that damn head injury Goldberg caused sadly cut his career short. Bret did what he could in his last year post-January without anymore matches or taking any bumps, it's a shame his run there had to end as abysmally as the initial year and a half.

Over 4 years

Right!? Minimum wage was just under $11k per year back then. Wonder how much she made when she signed to WWE, when she first got sign compared to when she retired?

@@musicl0ver543 It’s true. I think his deal was “only” 100K, but he wasn’t used in over 2 years. So he made 200K for literally doing nothing.

Lol yeah caught that too. They really must not care to fix mistakes.

Rick Rude made 638K as a manager. Even though Rick Rude passed away in April 1999, he was on the WCW 2000 payroll sheet. He also had a Lloyd's of London insurance policy that he was collecting. Dennis Rodman made almost 1.7M in WCW.

Aging is a bitch.

Yes he does lol

I mean it got the crowd goin

Randy got $10k for every “oh yeah”

also paid tyson fury 15 millions for his appearence...not for a year but for 1 appearence...

Agreed. Ted loved wrestling and wanted the best product and he wanted to defeat Vince McMahon

I'm still pissed off that they gave Daphne 52K

He did but sting ownes copy rights to his name so in turn he gets all the merch sales blah blah blah his net worth is about 9 million today

If I remember correctly, Farmer did spend a lot of time working in Japan as they were running a NWO angle there as well.

@@darrylchenoweth2855 He even said in an interview once that he could have prevented the singer from using the name if he so choosed.

Ahh. Wrote that comment about Farmer prior to watching the video were they mentioned his Japan work. Though he was playing the "evil" Sting gimmick there. But yes WCW would pay his salary while he worked in Japan BUT New Japan would do the same for their talent working here like Ultimo Dragon and Great Muta.

Odd that people are responding on this one-plus-year-old comment, but I shall clarify: my point was, in the video, he said “$150, per annum,” not “one hundred fifty THOUSAND dollars, per annum.” There is a significant difference between those numbers.

Well said, shit the way they were tossing out loot...its a wonder they lasted as long as they did, nothing wrong with guys getting theirs but there ain't no way in hell those guys thought they were bringing the company bread to justify these ridiculous salaries.

WCW Saturday Night as well

WCW World Wide

cengiz temi I’m sure I’ve read warrior was paid $1m for 6 months and they stopped using him after 3 months lol. The hogan contract was the most insane. A flat fee per ppv or if it grossed a certain amount he got a percentage of it. On top of a $25000 appearance fee at live events and his base contract for millions. Then add in the TV movies he did on tnt and his cut of the nwo merchandise.. easy $40m a year.

@@longgoneblind and his $2 million signing bonus for re-signing in 1998

cengiz temi Nice work if you can get it brother...

@@longgoneblind it sure is

I remember loving the entrance thinking ok they MIGHT have something here then the match started and any thoughts I had were instantly replaced with omg what the hell were they thinking this sucks

Can you even imagine what a Ralphus rat looks like? Probably makes a day shift stripper look like a 10 by comparison.

fish heads

God I wish I can go back in time and fix their contracts. I would tell both Nash and Hall I'm going to give you lots of money but you going to work for it and you ain't getting no creative clauses

Only for certain guys though and they had to be from outside the company. Also it just entitled them to a raise. Not to match the contract of that performer coming in.
