Regardless of how I got there, if my boss made me a millionaire, and basically the biggest name on the planet, the last thing I'd feel inclined to do is beat him up on a weekly basis for being 'a coporate suit'.
I was thinking about this just the other week, actually. Wasn't The Ringmaster a Million Dollar Champion at one point? I'm not sure, but I remember reading somewhere that the Million Dollar Champion would actually receive $1,000,000 for winning the title -- or have I just created that in my head? If that were true, Stone Cold Steve Austin would have even been a kayfabe millionaire in WWE terms.
