Agreed, same with Hogan, was watching a Honky Tonk Man shoot interview after the show last night, he gives you an impression of the money Hogan was making in the 80's (nevermind 90's in WCW). HTM said guys like Hillbilly Jim would get merchandise royalty cheques for $80,000 - imagine what Hogan was getting therefore?! 
(x the figure by four or five perhaps). Him and Flair must have made millions, and millions in the 80's and 90's, figures most guys can only dream of.

). Watched his RF shoot interview not long ago, he comes across as a decent guy who got over strongly in WWE, but then kinda screwed up. However, rather then moping or becoming a shell of his old self, he's clearly put in a lot of work on his skills to become apparantly a better all-round performer in TNA then he was in WWE (and has shaked the 'WWE Reject' tag which I imagine must be hard to do). Pope deserves credit for doing all the same too, if TNA could do this more with their signings they would grow much faster as a company.
