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.
