Man Hogan's 1998 WCW contract was just insane

Was this the contract he scored by leveraging a return to WWF as it began to heat up? In an ideal world, someone over at WCW could called his bluff as WWF had already blown past them with Austin on top by the time he signed this deal and WCW had DDP and Goldberg coming up as guys who could probably carry the company along with Sting and Flair.

Hogan could've worked in 1998 WWF. Corporate Hogan with Vince taking on Austin would've been loads of fun. If you run the SS 1998 screw job with Hogan instead of Mankind, you set up Hogan/Rock and Tony Schiavone spoiling Hogan's title victory on the air.

Actually that all sucks

I personally prefer the idea/fantasy booking of a Savage WWF return in 1997, but Vince McMahon so undervalued Savage as a performer that it probably would have sucked.

$2 million signing bonus. 25% house cut for every Nitro/Thunder appearance. 15% PPV cut. 50% merchandise cut. $20,000 per month just to promote the n... W... o.

 

How much of that would he have given back for a half decent divorce lawyer?

So, looking at that, $2M signing bonus, $4M/year guaranteed for 3 years, + at least 6 PPVs/year at 15% of buys or $675K, whichever is greater, 25% of Nitro/Thunder ticket sales or $25K, whichever is greater, 25% cut of house show ticket sales (gross), first-class trans, 50% of net profits on all Hogan merchandise and $20K/month for nWo merch, and a $175 per diem.

Cesaro has managed to get himself into a twitter feud with Miss Piggy. That's probably the best feud he had in a while.

You should listen to the latest MLW podcast with Konnan.

Basically, they aren't pissed yet because they think he's still going to fulfill his dates

I wouldn't bet on that actually happening

Konnan thinks ADR is gonna fulfill his dates? We've entered the Twilight Zone, haven't we?

 

Psssstt......Not for nothing and don't tell anybody I said so, but I think Konnan may be smoking something.
