Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson got $13 each
Before the WWE became the single largest wrestling promotion in the world, The Rock n' Roll Express were the hottest tag team in professional wrestling. While they were at their peak in popularity, they were offered a chance to come to WWE but they turned it down, and years later they have admitted to regretting it. However, all of us can relive their career on the WWE Network and DVDs. One would assume that they would get paid a huge royalty for the same. Wrong!

Both men received around $13 in royalties from WWE in their mailboxes. As we can see in the interview below, Morton asked his son to take the cheque from him. We hope these two men finally relive their glory days at the ceremony.
