No way he ever made a couple million for a Wrestlemania match. Before Floyd Mayweather, the highest paid appearance at a Wrestlemania was Mike Tyson at $2.25 million, followed by Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock at WM17, with a little over $1 million for them. Hogan always had a knack of exaggerating things, like bodyslamming a 700 lb Andre the Giant. I dare anybody to find me a credible source that Hulk Hogan has anywhere near $50 million.

no way he has only 11mil....think about the Hulkamania days with merchandise royalties and NWO days in WCW.....if he even invested remotely intelligently he would have wayyy more

The problem with what you're asking, and I tried to look up already, is wrestling salaries, kind of like MMA, are hard to find an accurate total. Lots of wrestlers from the days of Hulkamania have went on record stating he had to making megadollars. A million a month has been said a lot and I swear I've seen it reported on the internet. I saw a stat that Hogan made 1.5 mil for Wrestlemania 5 match with Savage. Just think about the revenue he brought in and he got a piece of the merchandise sales. You really think he wasn't clearing about 10 mil a year?

Exactly. And if Hogan Knows Best is any true indication of his personality, he's a cheap bastard. He definitely invested all that money. Plus, he only has 2 kids. He's worth a shitload of money

I beg to differ. There are a lot of guys out there (a few in TNA, a lot on the indys) who can hang with Angle.

Stupid fight stop, from this point on, I will forever hate Kimbo Slice, fuck him and everything he stands for....that was bullshit! James Thompson was winning on the scorecards, and would have withheld another Kimbo flurry as before, Elite XC can suck my dick! I am very pissed at the outcome of this fight!
I call shenanigans for even letting him in the cage without getting that fucker drained before hand. That sumbitch looked like a baseball on the side of his ear.

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.
