According to reports, Goldberg got a huge payday for his WWE Super Showdown match. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Goldberg earned “well over $1 million” for the appearance. That is the price of his one-year contract downside from his run in 2003 to 2004. With that being said, the number was less than the $3 million per year he made from WCW at his peak.
As of this writing, there is no word on whether The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels made that level of pay for their guest appearances at Super Showdown.
Brock Lesnar is believed to have made even more than Goldberg. The current thought process is to have Goldberg work a grudge match or two each year, which are promoted as huge deals. This is the same way that Bruno Sammartino was pushed at the end of his career.
Goldberg will be facing Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam this Sunday night.
