<< < (6/6)

--- Quote from: madsamoan on December 20, 2004, 04:51:28 PM ---Scott Hall is 46, Kevin Nash is 45 and Randy Savage is 52 years old.
Yes the above mentioned have made a mark in the wrestling business especially Randy Savage but to say they are financially secure is not true. After all, They need the money to survive and pay the rent,bills, car payments just like the rest of us 9 to 5'ers.
Why else would they still wrestle way into their 40's or early 50's....and don't say it's for the love of the business.
Kevin Nash agreed to leave the WWE after his contract expired because  he thought he could still wrestle and contribute...
but they thought with him being often injured, his age, and his lack of desire to get in physical shape despite getting paid well led to his departure.
As for Scott Hall, His drinking and problems with his ex wife, custody of his kids,physical shape  led the WWE to let him go.
Now you could see why just by looking at the pictures from the TNA website.

For those who have been living under a rock Kevin Nash appeared in the summer blockbuster "The Punisher" where he plays The Russian.  Check out   www.kevinnash.net
You can also check out Kevin Nash along with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg, and Diamond Dallas Page in  Adam Sandler/Chris Rock comedy movie  "The Longest Yard".
Best website for wrestling news on the internet.....www.wrestlezone.com
The Rock will appear in  Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty starring John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Andre 3000

Ric Flair is 54 and still going strong because to "To Be The Man...You got to beat The Man"
WoOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!!!!!!!!

No one that ever main evented in WCW for more than 3 years will ever have to work again, unless they completely blew all their money. Hall and Nash were making upwards of 2 million dollars a year for 3 to 4 years. Booker T has stated he could retire tommorow and never even think about money again. Booker never drew as much as Hall and Nash did and he's financially stable. I can't imagine Hall and Nash "needing" the money. Some people just like having fun. Look at Hogan, he likes coming back every couple years, because he likes the spotlight. Hogan could have retired in '89 and never have had to think about money again but he comes back because he has fun.

Trauma-san:
Exactly, these oldtimers aren't wrestling because they need the money, they're wrestling because it's what they are.  To some of them, it's their only purpose in life, look @ HHH.  He has all the money he'll ever need, PLUS, he's married to a billionaire's daughter.  He still wrestles everyday, though, because it's all he has. Hall & Nash are nobody outside of wrestling, and their family lives have been well documented as problematic... so the best thing in the world, to them, is being on television entertaining people.

That's true to a  certain extent. You have guys like Randy Savage demanding $15,000 for one PPV match for TNA and cutting a rap album just to make a quick buck. You have guys like Buff Bagwell, The Steiners, and The Tonga Kid wrestling in High School Gyms.
Case in point, The documentary "Beyond The Mat" which shows Jake "The Snake" Roberts wrestling in a Barnyard of all places.

Halu Sination:
im happy for hall if he really is wrestling in top notch quality (i dont get to watch tna so i wouldnt know)

but i said based off of STRICTLY appearances, you'd think he'd be washed up. i didnt mean that as an insult to him, hes not even THAT fat, he just looks washed up. it looks like hes been retired for 15 years

Azn_Bling:
BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL NWO... I loved wrestling then... WRESTLING sucks now... except for the DIVAS ::)
