Since we have the Hogan 2000 salary thread I thought I'd share this link that was released last summer. Old court documents from a lawsuit against WCW was found to contain the salaries of every WCW star from 2000 (excluding Hogan until recently released, which is available in the other thread). WCW 2000 SalariesSome things that stood out to me... - Fake Sting was still making $150,000 - Ric Flair was only making $500,000 that year when Sting was bring in about 3x that - Goldberg...wow Its no surprise those guys sat at home making bank. I bet DDP seriously regrets leaving all that $ on the table to be apart of the Invasion.

Goldberg was worth every dollar they gave him since he was the last guy who ever drew a dime for WCW. Some of the other salaries like Bret Hart getting $2.5 million/yr and Tank Abbott getting $850,000/yr...yikes.

Sting was a bargain for 1.5 million considering where salaries were at during the boom period.

No, Daniels was making $75,000, Candido $104,000 and Bryan Adams $175,000. What a disgrace that Horace Hogan was making $250,000! But man Konnan was doing well, as was Psychosis!

Yeah Konan was doing well. I get the lower card guys were upset with booking but for what WCW was paying them I'd be happy being booked into oblivion.

Yeah Konan was doing well. I get the lower card guys were upset with booking but for what WCW was paying them I'd be happy being booked into oblivion. Yeah definitely, Rey too! He has complained about how he was handled by WCW in the past but over $400K? Wow! And Chavo was in big bucks too! For the roles they played, that money was better than expected. They were making more than David Flair (thankfully), and yet were being featured much less than him. Even Fit Finlay was on $250,000 whilst guys like Jindrak and O'Haire had about $32,000. Ridiculous. I get that Finlay was a veteran and the others joined at the end of 1999, but Finlay barely did anything. Especially compared to guys like Kronik who were more prominently featured on the every show and their popularity. And hey Luger finally got his due after 4 years of being stiffed by Bischoff low-balling him, he was able to bank $1.2M and more each year after 1999.

Even Fake Sting was making money in 2000, 3 1/2 years after his run.

I love how Bret Hart was making more than Sting and Nash, even though he had retired. Ernest Miller was making more than Double J. Big Vito was making more than Candido. Boy was WCW a mess.

I feel like WCW just threw out random numbers to people without the slightest form of structure. No way Miller makes more than the world champ in a sane company.

Ernest Miller was good friends with Eric Bischoff and Garrett Bischoff's karate instructor while Jeff Jarrett couldn't draw flies even if you smeared him in $#!+, so Im not surprised at the difference in salary there. Also, I hope the Nitro Girls were part-timers because some of their salaries is basically chicken feed.
