Vern Gagne offered Iron Sheik $100,000 and a job in the AWA if he agreed to break Hogan's leg in their WWF World Title match in 1984 and leave with the belt.

(It didn't really come close to happening, but the offer was made.)

I believe @Kevin_Nash. Taker isn't trustworthy.

Those wild west territory days

I read recently that Vince offered Warrior a deal in late '97, probably to fill the void left by Bret. Hard to imagine Warrior in the attitude era. That shyt wouldn't have fit at all. There was also some talk of Hogan coming back around that time as well but was probably just negotiating tactics from Hoegan to get the best contract possible with WCW.
