8 Incredible Wrestling Paydays You Won't Believe

2. Miss. Elizabeth ($50,000 - 1991)

On the surface, $50,000 doesn't seem like a whole hell of a lot when stacked next to figures like $2m, $3.5m or even a rumoured $500,000. Besides, Miss. Elizabeth was a big star in her prime, and she did play a major role at SummerSlam 1991. Her faux-wedding to Randy Savage had tears of joy rolling down fan faces in the stands.

Liz, for all her beauty, was paid more than four future WWE Hall of Famers on that show.

The SummerSlam '91 payoff sheet makes for fascinating reading. On it, one can see that Miss. Elizabeth's 50k salary was more than the 20K for Mr. Perfect, the 17.5K for Bret Hart, the 5K dished out to The Undertaker and the modest 2K Shawn Michaels earned that night. What's more, add those digits together and you'll see a grand total of $44,500. Like Elizabeth, all those stars walked down the aisle. But they also wrestled.

That's $5,500 less than what Liz was paid. Other surprises see Ted DiBiase (20K) being paid $30,000 fewer than Miss. Elizabeth and happy hubby Savage getting 75K for his part in the wedding. He must have been delighted with that. No bumps and his darling Elizabeth? Ooh yeah!
