In a recent episode of his own “Lex Expressed” podcast, Lex Luger opened up about the money he took home from his participation in the WWE SummerSlam 1993.
On the show, Luger disclosed that he made roughly ,000, an amount quite less than his personal expectation of 0,000. He made clear,
“Back then, I was newer to the company. I didn’t expect, like, a WrestleMania [payday], because that was the really big one. Now, SummerSlam is like number a strong number two. So I expected a decent payoff. I wasn’t disappointed, but I thought maybe, with not getting paid all summer, it would have been a little more than that. I got, like, ,000 or something, if I had to guess, right around there, I think. I was hoping for like 0,000. I was hoping, because I didn’t get paid all summer, I was hoping for like 0,000 at the time or something, but I got like ,000. I think I had been hoping for a little bit more. I didn’t get paid all summer. I got zero. I wasn’t working. You know how it was back then. I didn’t have a guaranteed contract like WCW. My contract wasn’t guaranteed. No play, no pay. At least they paid for my hotel.“
