► The Vince McMahon payment system
Of all that time that happened under the McMahon regime, JBL remembers what the payment system was like:
“My contract, you know, when I was at my best, I probably won, I believe, between nine and ten times more than my base salary marked, because I never cared that base salary. I always thought you should win what you kill (that is, win according to your performance). I always thought: if I do well, Vince will pay me. He was an excellent guy to pay. I never worried about that. “

“I had a whole methodology, and a complete shit was 100%. 29%, I remember that number, went to the building, employees and talent. That number may have been legitimate. I do not say that it is not. But the way that number was distributed was absolutely shit. It was Vince. Vince reviewed everything, and I have spoken with guys who handled the payroll, including Gerry Brisco, and Vince reviewed and said: 'No, this changes for this. Change this for that. ' He based on what he believed that each fighter generated, what he thought they were worth, the tickets that they sold, and his position on the poster. Everything was by instinct … 100% by feeling. May I know, not many complained about their payments. Vince was very good paying, The best I've seen.”
