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

14. Randy Savage, $1,000,000 In WWF 1988 And $1,000,000 In WCW 1998

As WWF Champion from March 27th 1988 until April 2nd 1989, Macho Man Randy Savage made a cool million dollars. It wasn't just that he was a commercial draw for the business, he was also a crossover mainstream star who sold plenty of merchandise. Ten years on from that, and guess what? Savage made a similar figure as a WCW legend in 1998 - 1999. The logic was obviously that he was a big name, but it was seriously misjudged - the younger guys like Austin and Rock in the WWF were the new draws of the industry.
