22 Mind-Blowing WCW Wrestler Salaries You Won't Believe

4. Sting, $1,969,089 In 2000

As WCW's franchise icon, Sting did deserve to finish his last full year with WCW on close to two million dollars. It reflected on how long he'd been there. Also, $504,727 of that sum was licensing. It shows how important his image was to WCW. The huge $1,969,089 earnings also explain why he didn't go to the WWF in 2001. There's no way Vince McMahon would have matched such a sum. Sting would have been devaluing himself if he went for any less, hence he waited it out and took easier opportunities in TNA Wrestling.
