So 0% tk paying mox 6. Sporskeeda is such gash lol

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, barely believe KO is making 2. only do because WWE is rolling in it, but WWE once didn’t think Sting was worth bringing in if he wanted a mil and a half.

 

[Comrade Khan]

ya billion dollar deals make things different i guess. who knows too, maybe a lot of ppl in the love the kev

 

[Comrade Khan]

he is a locker room leader by all accoutns ive read

 

[Smart Marx]

Shit, Kevin Nash came in at 750,000 in 2002 and WWE were worried they paid him too much and upset the locker room since most didn’t make that.

So weird how far they’ve come to pay 2 mil.

 

[Comrade Khan]

he was at the forefront of getting covid stuff and masks and ppl safe backstage and was very vocal and in vinces ear (if reports are to be believed) so one would assume guys liek Roman would be very respectful of that kind of guy too

 

[Comrade Khan]

i guess one saudi show also pays for kevins entire 3 year contract or smth lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

(ironic since he wont go lol)

 

[Smart Marx]

I still don’t buy those exercises though.

There were really only 8 wrestlers making 1-3 mil when they bought WCW and since they bought WCW for 5 mil, they money they saved on WCW, since it was worth like 70 mil, they could have easily afforded Sting, Steiner, Goldberg, Nash and Hogan right away.

 

[Comrade Khan]

but you know how vince be, he wants ppl who have balls

Yep and I’m sure if Kevin goes to the next one, that’s probably a third of his downside.

yeah i think a lot of the excuses used at the time were smoke and mirror and excuses for not pushing or signing wcw guys. i think esp at the time, vince wanted to make a point he won and he did so by constantly downplaying wcw ppls worth or jobbing them

 

[Smart Marx]

Excuses not exercises lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

but ya sting especially got fucked over hard

Seeing how treated the boy names when he got them, 100% the case. Look at how many of the names they did bring in for the Invasion that stopped getting booked by August. Like half of them.

Imagine getting sent to developmental after being on WCW tv and then missing the rest of the Invasion angle while they use WWF guys instead who they put WCW shirts on. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christian and Test so I don’t mind them wearing the shirt, but don’t sideline 13 legit WCW wrestlers at the same time.
