The Match Made In Heaven… The Match Made In Hell… Bret Hart’s first single’s title… Andre the Giant’s (and Paul Roma’s) final WWF Pay-Per-View appearance(s)… the Road Warriors capturing the WWF Tag Team titles, making them the only team to win tag team gold in the AWA, NWA, WCW, and WWF… and the first official appearance of the middle finger on World Wrestling Federation television. SummerSlam 1991 has many memorable and historically-important moments.
This isn’t about any of them.
This is about the money, specifically the details from Titan Sports’ pay-off sheet for talent and agents for SummerSlam 1991 that became public after details and evidence from the Ultimate Warrior’s 2006 lawsuit regarding The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD were released (including hand-written notes between Warrior and Vince McMahon) in January of 2014. These little-seen, privately-held sheets cast quite a story on the backstage details of the wrestlers, the managers, the agents, and even the ring crew, putting a monetary value to a performer’s place on the card… or lack thereof.
Here are the Top 10 Surprising Revelations From the 1991 SummerSlam Payroll Sheet.

Pretty good read. Some guys are paid a lot more than I would have guessed and most are paid a lot less. Poor Tito.
