When I saw that thing, for a second there I was reminded of the family guy episode where Peter looks at his chin, says "how the hell did those get there," and pops his chin off and tucks it into his pants. Change chin to ear and you've got Thompson.

Just investing what he made in the 80s, he'd be worth a shitload today. And then, take into account, all the money he made in the nWo days and assumedly WCW gave him a big guaranteed contract with PPV revenue. Plus, he's constantly making money between the reality show, occassional appearances, and his american Gladiators gig. It would be nonsensical if he was worth only 11 mil.

Hogan's salary and savings have been greatly exaggerated. Even in the NWO heyday, which was when he was making the most money, he was only pulling in between 5 and 6 million a year. He has invested well though, but most of money is tied up in property, about $30 million. Lucky for him, that can't be taken away from him if he gets sued.

Angle was an olympic caliber athlete which makes you one of the world's best, so I absolutely believe him when he says guys cant hang with him.

In Ohio, any payment in a one time sum of $599.00 or less is non taxable in lottery winnings so I would think that would be the same.

Agreed 100%. They will eventually have a dip in buyrates going to the well that many times. They used to put the international events on Spike. Now they run ppv's every 2 weeks when they go international. It will bite them in the ass eventually.

I fucking love it. The only thing better would be him jobbing all the way to Ohio Valley or whatever the developmental territory is these days. Fuck him and all the time WWE wastes over exposing him every week.

Property would still be considered assets, which would make him worth much more than 11 mill as somebody mentioned prior.

Damn you guys are at it again. I haven't been on for 2-3 days and had 25 pages to read through at 20 posts per page. I finally finish and nobody is online anymore.

Is the HOF thread gone?
