The Nature Boy Ric Flair was the biggest draw in WCW history, and should have been on the million dollar sums with the other big names. However, management had a dislike for him, and judging by 780K being his top earning year, it appears that he was seriously undervalued and short-changed. Ironically, he actually missed some of 1998 due to a real life spat and lawsuit against Eric Bischoff. However, the end result was a worked Bischoff versus Flair match at Starrcade 1998. He was one of the most over WCW stars in that year, just as he tended to be most years.
