If I was going to be a wrestler, I would desire to be just like Hogan - Not RVD or the Hardy's or Lance Storm or any of these other guys smark worship. I'd prefer to be like Hogan because he made more money then anyone.

However, if you're a rich man, why do you need even more money? That's just total greed.

But you see, that's the thing. Hogan made a lot of money for Hogan. But he also made a lot of money for his opponents. If you we're booked with him, you drew big bucks.

According to Bad News Brown, Warrior got a million dollars for Wrestlemania VI. That much money for a fake sport. Crazy.

It isn't. You're focusing too much on what wrestling is. The question you need to ask is this: 'How much money did WM VI make? How much of that was due to Warrior vs Hogan?'

That match made the event as a whole a massive deal. What the 2 main eventers earned was incredible but probably a small fraction of the final profit. If they have helped to generate such a gate, such ticket sales, why shouldn't they get a healthy cut of it?

Like I said, matches with Hogan involved sold tickets. He drew like nobody ever will again.

No. I just think Hulk should have stepped aside and let another guy take the spotlight. Even if they fuck up, so what? Let the next young guy come in and give it a shot. Hulk should have taken a lesser-role and yes, lesser-money, but so what? He had enough and he'd still be earning.
