WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently took to an episode of his Kliq This podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including the time that the company only paid talents $75 per TV appearance.
Nash said, “We got paid $75 for a TV day and that was to cover hotel, food, and a rental car.” He continued, “90% of TVs were done in the northeast.”
Nash added, “You tell me how many people, even in 1994, $75. (It didn’t cover the room), let alone a town car, gas, going over a couple of bridges. Horizontal bridge was $7 back then. You could get a $200 draw against your Pikeville house show payment of $170. I’ve actually seen people get checks and owe the company money, not even making $200 a day on the road.”
