In a recent interview, Kevin Nash mentioned that back when he and Scott Hall came into WCW, they were the first people to get guaranteed contracts. But WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan recently claimed that he was the first to receive a guaranteed contract.
While speaking on The Outbound Life , Hulk Hogan mentioned that he had a guaranteed full-time contract in WCW in 1984. Hogan has been known to exaggerate the truth or get facts wrong in the past, but he says he had a guaranteed deal long before Kevin Nash showed up.
“I don’t know if it was Kevin Nash or somebody said, ‘there were never any guaranteed contracts until we came along.’ I think Kevin Nash might have said it. When I came back, January 23, 1984, I won the belt. I was back a couple months before then doing TV. I had a guaranteed contract back then. I had a ten-year guaranteed contract then. That was way before they signed Kevin Nash. That was 20 years before. Vince (McMahon) wanted to lock me down because, at the time, I had the gimmick figured out, and I was so hot. I was leading the charge on a lot of fronts. The guaranteed contract was a constant.
“At the time, I started making movies too. I was making a couple movies a year. That was extra money on the side. There was a 1-900 number. 1-900-HULK-HOGAN. It was a hotline that kids could call. They would get their parent’s credit card and stay on the phone all night talking to me. It was all pre-recorded messages about training and vitamins and storyline. I made a ton of money on that 1-900 number. I was killing it on that. Doing movies. My merchandise was selling like crazy,” said Hulk Hogan. [H/T Fightful.com ]
