Wrestling Legend Exposes WWE’s Pay Discrepancy by Revealing Hulk Hogan’s 7-Figure Payout: “It Depended on if They…”

Hulk Hogan is one of the most eccentric WWE superstars ever. He was and still is one of the most well-known faces of the company. Right from the start, Hogan took over the crowd and produced some of the most well-known and famous matches the wrestling world has ever witnessed.

Making his debut in WWE back in the 1980s, the Hulkster quickly rose to fame. Soon enough, he was one of their highest-paid athletes and a major face behind sold-out auditoriums. Hogan was also a big name behind popular WWE merchandise getting sold out. One such popular merchandise in those times was the action figures.

In an interview with Kayfabe Commentaries with Sean Oliver, Brutus Beefcake was found speaking about those action figures. He also spoke on how high Hogan used to get paid for that merchandise. Brutus claimed that those action figures in the packages were ” worth a lot of money“.

Oliver then proceeds to ask Beefcake about his paycheck as a result of the action figures. Beefcake then dejectedly says, “They cut me off. I haven’t seen a dime since 1995/94.” He claimed did not receive any royalty for any DVDs or any action figures. He said, “Hulk’s got a thousand and I got a hundred maybe things with my face on or my name. ”

Beefcake claimed that paycheck depended on your position with the company. He said, “It depended on if they liked you or not. If you were on the good foot or if you’re in the dog house with them you got a cr*ppy check. If you were on the good foot and everybody was happy then you got a good check.”

As Sean Oliver asked him about Hulk’s deal, Beefcake expressed that Hulk deserved credit. Brutus explained that Hulk was making money, and he saw it one time when held Hulk’s check for once. He exclaimed, “It was for 1.2 million dollars!”

Mick Foley was once body-shamed by Hulk Hogan

An old video resurfaced recently, where Hogan appeared on TSN off the Record with Michael Landsberg and flexed his physique while body shaming Mick Foley for his choice of staying at home instead of training. In the video Hogan says, “I would probably say, I trained more in last week than Mick Foley has trained in 30 years.”

He further said, “You know, I went ahead while Mick Foley was sleeping and eat cheeseburgers and M&Ms while I was in the gym working out for 2 hours a day, working out for 30 years.”

Mick Foley was rather hurt by the tone of this statement. And went on to explain Hulk’s actions as a result of jealousy. Things have improved between the two now and both of them have nothing but respect for each other. Both Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan were two of the greatest of their era.
