>>5976534>My inebriate, obese hillbilly dad used to wrestle death matches in front of two dozen retards from Macon in exchange for a hot dog and a hand shake. Please applaud.Dusty used to get 16% of the gross and he did 7 shows a week. Most of them to thousands of people.
The old time wrestlers earned significantly more than current wrestlers. Dusty literally owned his own private jet at one point.
Flair earned almost $4 million a year in 1986. Thats insane money. Magic Johnson was only pulling $3 million a year at that point. Its equivalent to about $13m a year now which is more than Reigns and Lesnar combined. And Hogan was earning even more than that.
The idea that the old guys were earning no money is a WWE propaganda invention just like how they talk about smokey bingo halls.
