• “He b*tched about getting $500,000 for that match” – Vince McMahon Fired Ex-WWE Champion For Complaining About WrestleMania Payment
At WrestleMania 23 in 2007, Bobby Lashley (with Donald Trump) defeated Umaga (with Vince McMahon) in the “Battle of the Billionaires” match, with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as the Special Guest Referee.
Due to the stipulation of the match, McMahon got his head shaved after the match.
During a virtual signing with Captain’s Corner, ECW Legend The Sandman revealed that Lashley got paid $500,000 for this match and he complained about it, which resulted in Vince firing him.
Below is what Sandman said:
“Bobby Lashley was in that match. He got fired, you know why? Because he b*tched about getting $500,000 for that match, because Bobby Lashley could not wrestle a lick back then.
Now he’s pretty good, but he couldn’t wrestle really good back then. He f**king complained about getting half-a-million, dude.
Vince McMahon is like, you’re fired. Didn’t take him back for years. He’s over as sh*t now.”
