Wrestlers nowadays don't make as much as the guys used to make then.
They made MUCH better money back then than they do now.
Billy is a raving fucking lunatic; however, one of the reasons he is pissed is because of the lack of health care or pension on the part of the WWE. He's not exactly the best guy to be the spokesperson for this cause, as he's known to piss through his money, cause most of his health problems, and generally be a money-hungry asshole (ala most of the pro-wrestling business).
Oh, and Bruno Sammartino is in NO WAY a bitter old-timer. That right there is a very uneducated statement / a very common misconception or rumor, if you will. He is not bitter, especially over monetary issues.
