The reason I ask is, he got paid 25% of the gate or at least $25k, for appearing on TV even if he didn't wrestle at the TV taping. That does seem like a crazy stupid business decision for WCW to agree to for someone to potentially just appear in a backstage segment and not have to work a match to me, even for someone like Hogan.

Not that I doubt that it happened, just seems crazy dumb to me financially for WCW. Maybe something like 10%/$10k for appearance or 25%/$25k for wrestling would have been a better business decision.
He'd appear on Thunder from time to time (not often though) where he would come into the ring, run his mouth with Vincent or Disciple in the background nodding and that's about it.
