    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    And the article is from 2001 which makes using it as a source for his merch sales in 1999 make no damn sense. And if it has nothing to do with his 1999 numbers why is that even presented in this thread.

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    and in the quote he's using as a source it literally mentions the movie in which is it was rumored he made 5.5 million dollars which at the time was the most money on an unknown actor. Which again would put him at about 10 million dollars a year from WWE.

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    I already posted that and RL Said that wasn't a source. and RL has provided no real numbers on merch sales. He literally made them up by guessing.

    You've given literally no proof of anything, lmao posting a magazine article is very cute.

    Damn with a source like that I might as well stop arguing.

    1. Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker (28 June 1999) - 9.5

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    RL are we going to even bring up that Steve Austin has the highest rated segment of all time or should we not even mention that?

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    But RL does have the math he did on the back of a napkin, so I'm not sure who's sources are better.

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    I just gave you a source with numbers, your source is literally a magazine article. You do realize you have no proof The Rock stated he made 15 million dollars a year right? Just because they interviewed him doesn't mean he was quoted as saying he made 15 million dollars a year. Notice how it...

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    According to this site the most The Rock ever earned from merch was 10.6 million https://moneynation.com/the-rock-net-worth-255-million/ There's a source for you with a ton of numbers.

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    If merch numbers vary by year, how do you have proof The Rock made 15 million a year prior to 2001? The quote you keep posting in the article literally mentions the movie which he was said to make 5.5 million for, leading people to believe the Rock made about 10 million a year from WWE.

    I'm asking you where you got the merch numbers from. Please don't tell me that those numbers is literally math you just made up.

    Where did you prove The Rock was the top merch seller of 1999?

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    Stone Cold Steve Austin is the biggest draw in the history of the business. That goes for live events, merchandise, TV ratings and PPV buys. That is indisputable. That's our argument, and you can't dispute that.

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    And what is the point anyway? The Rock is one of the biggest stars in the world at this point. Steve Austin was proven not to have the ability to crossover to movies in a big way. I think that is fairly obvious. Your argument is very convoluted.

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    15 million dollars a year doesn't mean he has made 15 million dollars a year for multiple years. If I get a job and it pays 50,000 a year I would say I make 50,000 a year, even if that was my first year making 50,000 a year. Also, you are making a thread about The Rock in 1999, then post an...

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    You weren't referring to what the Rock was making in WWE at that point? Why were you mentioning Austin's merch sales then?

    The Rock the biggest draw of 1999

    "Signing him, incidentally, for a reported $5.5 million, among the highest salaries any untested actor has ever earned for a starring role." That is from EW.com on what The Rock made for The Mummy Returns which came out in 2001. He might have made 15 million a year, but doesn't mean it's from WWE.
