He's bitter in the financial sense but in the mark world he's a better wrestler than Austin and Rock ever were

I don't think he cares considering he was getting paid to do nothing during those 4 years

Why would he be bitter? He cleaned up, found Jesus and got to have 8 years of doing all the masturbatory CINEMA he wanted to do and retired on his own terms

nah some of those WCW contracts still put Tiny's money mark deals to shame. You ever see the favored nations clause Hall and Nash had?

no not in specific detail, but you gotta admit absolute shitters like Keith Lee and Miro getting six/seven figures for having maybe three total matches in the span of four years is a solid fucking deal.

eh, they're definitely getting paid good money to stay home but I doubt any of the fired NXT guys are making anywhere near 7 figures other than Swerve. I feel like they were all lowballed when they came in because they had no better choice which is why they tried to get out of their contracts when HHH took over WWE. Like I doubt Andrade made more money in AEW than he's making on main roster WWE for example

i love halls story about how he got that huge deal with that clause then immediately went to kevin and told him to make sure to get more money than hall so he'd get an easy pay bump

He "coped" by going on to produce 2 of the all time GOAT WM matches with Carder. Meanwhile Bret still hasn't gotten over getting BTFO by Goldberg.

He was every 2000s wrestler's favorite American wrestler. Everyone thinking he's the GOAT (and forgetting about Bret) makes up for it in his mind.

he was such a massive unrelenting draw vince had to ensure HBK remained one of the WWF's highest paid wrestlers the entire time or HBK would've went to WCW and put WWF out of business. then there would be no WWE or any wrestling at all right now because WCW still would've went out of business by the end of the 00s or whenever HBK would've retired in this timeline anyway.
