It is always fascinating to see documents like this. It confirms mainly what we already knew about Hogan in WCW, that he was earning over $4 million in his very peak WCW run. There were several clauses and add-ons, plus the all important creative control. You can tell that Hogan was a great negotiator, successfully looking after his interests and money. However, one myth is that he was WCW's top earner. The big achiever was actually Goldberg, who pocketed five million dollars in 1999. Nevertheless, this contract proves that Hulk Hogan wasn't far behind. When you think he had deals like this pre-1998, you can see why he became one of the most famous and richest pro wrestlers of all time. Unfortunately, with a divorce and string of bad choices, he's now believed to have lost significant amounts of his riches.
