• Eric Bischoff Reveals Dennis Rodman’s WCW Salary

During an appearance on After 83 Weeks podcast, former WCW President Eric Bischoff revealed Dennis Rodman’s WCW salary.

Below is what Bischoff said:

“The total fee was just a little over $1 million, like a million and change. But that was for a number of different appearances. It wasn’t just for one appearance. I know that sounds like a ton of money, and it is a ton of money…but in the big scheme of things you know, Mike Tyson probably got three times that much. Other performers in WWF get much, much bigger numbers.

I had a number in my head, because in my mind getting Dennis Rodman would create a certain amount of buzz that if I had to pay for would probably cost me three times that much money…The press that I knew I would get from that I really wouldn’t even be able to buy.”
