Madusa is a WWE Hall of Famer, and she inspired a generation of pro wrestlers after her. She blazed a trail for many more to walk on after her, and it turns out that she did so without really getting paid for her efforts. Now, the veteran is able to look back, and she is happy about the dollars that women are making now, because she certainly didn’t see that in her bank account.
While speaking on “The Angle,” the former three-time WWE Women’s Champion took a walk down memory lane. In the process, Madusa also revealed that she never made $100,000 in a year with her pro wrestling work.
“Now I’m really glad to see finally after all these years the women are getting million-dollar contracts for the first time. In one year, I never made over $100,000 in pro wrestling. And then when I got to WCW, Eric [Bischoff] only gave me $75,000 the first time.”

We’ll have to see if Madusa ever makes her way back to WWE. If anything, they might owe her a bit of back payment considering everything she’s done for women’s wrestling.
