Because WCW was so desperate to land the WWFs stars, Eric Bischoff used Ted Turners vast resources to provide guaranteed contracts to their talent. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash got paid a lot more to work a lot less. That meant it was unlikely youd see them on WCW house shows. The guys in DX probably got paid less than the top nWo guys because Vince didnt have the resources. But in 1997 and 1998, the WWF was so desperate to catch up to (and eventually overtake) WCW in the ratings, that the talent worked beyond what they thought they were capable of. You can accuse Billy Gunn of many things, but laziness isnt one of them. Those guys busted their asses night in and night out. Theres a reason why the term Nashism was coined.
