Furthermore. ...having a spot on the WM card does not equate the same payout. Thats why a lot of the talent get pissed off when guys like Rock...Brock...HHH only show up in WM season because they get HUGE payouts on the card. Hogan got 750,000 for his match with Andre back in 1987 while guys like the Harts and bulldogs got 20,000.
WM'S 5 & 7 were also starring Hogan...the biggest draw in the business and in a different era of kayfabe. You didn't pay to watch WM back then...make break or fake...you paid to watch Hulk Hogan. Those two WM's had SHIT undercards and were rated poorly by the Pro Wrestling Torch.
