It's awesome that they took everything about the worst gimmick in history and merchandised it. Worst sunglasses ever, and you can own them!

I definitely bought a LISTEN UP SLAPNUTS shirt from TNA when they had that warehouse clearance for I think $4, which in retrospect was a mistake because everyone I hang out with to watch wrestling paid zero attention during any of Jeff Jarrett's main event run and are merely confused rather than annoyed by me wearing it to their home. Do wrestlers get a cut of the money made when the company is selling stuff at a loss to raise money to pay Nazis and/or Billy Corgan off?

62k and 75k for the year in base pay seems shockingly low for a WCW guy even at the lowest level Then again it was before and after the boom

"Was never a big draw" is such a lovely, disingenuous argument. Nobody's ever a big draw unless the Booker/Promoter puts them in a position to be the big draw. All you have to do is look at Jericho, Austin, Foley, Eddie Guerrero. All of them were completely wasted in WCW and were never "big draws" there, and never would have been for reasons that have literally nothing to do with their talent or ability. The draw argument is just a lazy justification for politicking shitheads like Hogan, Nash and HHH to pretend they got away with their more egregious bullshit due to merit. Hogan's a bit of a special case because he likely (almost certainly) would have been just as big of a deal if he wasn't a gaping rear end in a top hat.
