Aside from his final year in 2008, does it surprise anyone else just how little he was paid? Especially when you factor the length of time he was there, he won King of the Ring, had high profile feuds with the likes of Undertaker, Diesel (they were the main event at SummerSlam 95), and even in his later years always seem to be involved in a story line.
Not trying to say that he was some major draw or anything, but certainly expected him to earn more money that over 8 years (maybe around the $250-500k range per year).
When you consider these guys are responsible for all of their travel expenses minus airfare, he would be lucky to break even probably six out of eight of those years. It's just crazy to think how famous some of these guys are, but just how little they got paid (and probably still do).
