WWE Legend Mick Foley discloses salary he received at the peak of his career

Mick Foley recently shared the six-figure salary he earned at the peak of his career during the 'Attitude Era.'

The Hardcore Legend began his wrestling career in WCW. He was also associated with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) before signing with WWE in 1996. Foley had three gimmicks with varied personalities: Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack.

In 1998, under his Mankind moniker, Foley faced The Undertaker in a brutal Hell in a Cell Match at the now retired King of the Ring pay-per-view. On January 4, 1999, he defeated The Rock in a No Disqualification Match commencing his first reign as WWE Champion.

The three-time WWE Champion discussed his salary from back in the day on the latest episode of Foley Is Pod. He added that it was like the 'holy grail' for him:

“Yeah, $400,000 felt like the holy grail to me, where if I could get a couple years at 400 that we could save a lot of money. Looking back at 400 grand was a lot of money. But you need to have 10 years at 400 before you can say that you’re good, you know, like, it’s even then, you know, you’re with taxes and travelling all that. I mean, this is, I know a lot of the country is struggling and a lot of people listening would love to be in a position where they’re making $400,000 25 years ago.” (H/T: ITR Wrestling)
