Dave got fucked like he said in his documentary because his developmental deal didn't end to after 2007, so he literally was on in sports terms "a rookie deal" compared to the others. That has to suck a little bit

Holy fuck how is Big Show so high let alone over Triple H of all guys. That's easily the biggest shock.

 

[John McHenry]

I really wouldn't count The Rock as I figure the majority of his is from films (before someone tries to include Austin his films are nowhere near the type that Rock gets) and not all to much from wrestling. Show surprises me he's so high and I expected JBL to be higher.

 

[Chris]

Wow, can't believe Big Show is higher than Trips, that's really the only shock here though. No surprise that Rock is so high.

 

[PHX]

Never thought in a million years though that guys like CM Punk, Jerry Lawler, etc have a bigger net worth than Hogan but divorce is a motherfucker.

Big Show fucking deserves it. I don't understand how he gets so much hate. Lets see another man who is well over 7 feet and 500 pounds that can compete on a main stage level for YEARS. He truly is something special.

As for Trips, his is gonna sky rocket after he fully takes the company, so no need to worry about him. Rock shouldn't count. But other then that there are no surprises really. Miz is doing very well for a man his age though. Very impressive.

Expected Taker to be more valuable than Show, but considering how little he works Taker is worth a shitload.

Lawler being worth more than Orton made me laugh. Piper even being on the list just shows how good he is at managing his money. Chyna's entry is probably what she makes per year from Vivid.

You do realize he wasn't at 500 pounds for a majority of those years right.

He was close to it. I personally found his ECW stuff to be the best and thats when he was at his heaviest if I remember correctly.

- Mayweather
- Akebono
- The Water Boy as Captain Insaneo
- His sheer size as he's a freak of nature to be how fast and athletic he is at his height and weight
- WCW and WWF bidding on him to make the jumpNot really surprising.The only guy on the lit who I think could have made more is Taker if he wasn't the "Deadman" and did a lot more normal activities

HBK also did damn good to say he really missed the attitude era at its height in 99, 00, and 01

He was still getting paid though, he made appearances quite a bit up until mid-2000 or so.

And King would have more if you remember that he has 3 ex wives who all took half as he has bitched about in the past.

Yeah I know, but he could have made so much more off matches with Rock, Austin, and the like in main events. He got paid as an ambassador and for some ref gigs sure, but he could have made so much more. Heck he was worth more his second run it seemed

Forgot all about that which makes it even crazier so Jerry must really save his money real good after that or something.

I never really look at the wrestlers we see on TV as millionaires. Most of them could retire right now and be set for life.

CM Punk as a multi-millionaire I must say, I find it hard to believe.
