WWE: 19 Former Wrestlers Who Had Salaries You Won't Believe

15. Vader, $625,000 In WCW 1993

Vader was a huge star, and as such, a huge earner in the early 90's. In fact, he was in the top three for highest earning wrestlers in 1993. That year he packed away $625,000 per annum in a four year deal with WCW and also $25,000 per match with Japan's UWFI. He could have been a big draw in the WWF, too. However, Shawn Michaels made him look such a jobber in their summer 1996 WWF feud. His star power and earnings fell after that run with the Heartbreak Kid.
