WWE legend Kurt Angle recently talked finances during his latest ‘ Kurt Angle Show ‘ podcast, revealing that he made over one million dollars his first year in WWE.
Talking about his first year in WWE, Angle said, “You know what, my guarantee was $75,000, so I made well over that.
What I was surprised about, and I promised J.R [ Jim Ross ] this when I accepted that contract, he said ‘you’re going to get $75,000 a year for five years.’ I signed the contract, I said ‘don’t worry about it because I’m going to make a million in my first year.’ He’s like, ‘whatever you say.’ So I did, I did make a million, which I’m really proud of.”
Angle said, “I wasn’t expecting to make a million dollars my first year in the business, especially not having any kind of merchandise.
I made a lot of money wrestling and I did exceed the goal that I told JR I would do.”
