Was Vince really crazy enough to offer the Ultimate Warrior 750k a year in late 97?

please tell me this is fake lol.

He probably wouldn't have done much for ratings but maybe Vince was expecting him to sell a ton of merch. I think WCW ended up paying him 500k to a mil for that 2 month run he had in 98.

No way I would have even considered signing him lol.

97? I can just imagine Warrior no selling Stone Cold's Stunner, or even better the Rock Bottom/People's Elbow! Just have Rock do his shyt, and then once he hits the elbow, Warrior just stands up like Rock was just waiting his fukking time.

One of these YouTube channels should do a prediction for booking that could be highly entertaining.

Actually Bishoff just talked about this on his podcast. He got 250,000 for Halloween Havoc alone, but in total he said he didn't get more than 500,000.

Wonder how much he got for the other two matches

Spend months in the new generation era talking about getting rid of old guys like Hogan and Savage, but in 96 and 97 you wanna bring old guy Warrior in to combat the nWo and Sting.

makes sense

It’s really an open condemnation on how little of a draw HBK was. They bet the farm on him and he couldn’t deliver with the fans

I like HBK but he's a Benoit or Eddie with a Vince superpush, not a Cena or Hogan. Not a Goldberg or even a Batista to be really real.

I can see Vince doing some shyt like this thinking it would sell some tickets.

If Vince offered those fukkn vanilla midgets the revival 750k, then I have no problem with him offering 750k to the legendary Ultimate Warrior.
