WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase recently took to an episode of his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including his pay.
DiBiase said, “I had been at the top of the mountain. I mean, I wasn’t making Hulk Hogan money, because he was the big shot, or Andre (The Giant). But I was, you know, up there at that in the upper echelon of the guys getting paid.”
On whether he lost any trust in Vince McMahon after Jesse Ventura sued McMahon for royalties:
“Well, not totally. I mean, he just kind of like a promoter’s promoter. And it’s kind of like, by this time, we were signing contracts. And I would have somebody go over my contract to make sure there was nothing in there that was gonna be a surprise. But by that time, we’re talking about ’94, that’s when I stopped wrestling. So now, I’m a manager. And so I’m still getting paid, but I’m not getting paid the big bucks for being in the ring. I’m still getting paid, and paid pretty dang good.”
