That time really led to these less lucrative WWE deals that most of today's guys have - although on the fact that these jabronis have 1/25th of the experience the guys of yesteryear had when they arrived in the WWF/WWE, most of the guys of today do have a better deal considering they're not even worth that much.
To be fair though, Hogan and his cronies arriving in WCW and kicking off the Monday Night Wars did actually benefit the younger guys, in that the competition led to the first ever downside guaranteed contracts.
