Booker T Discusses Heat On Jim Ross From WCW Wrestlers

On the latest episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about Jim Ross having some heat with wrestlers who came over to WWE from WCW back in the early '00s. 

Booker revealed that Ross told him at the time "you can make as much as you want to make" but the pay system was very different from WCW and he was ok with not making as much as he did in WCW.

"I can’t give JR a whole lot of heat — I head people talking about their downside when they came in from WCW. A lot of guys — I didn’t hear the stories then, but I hear them now because of the age of the internet, you know what I mean? On social media you hear these stories about ‘man, he offered me this much, he offered me this much.’ I remember the downside I got — I was happy as hell.”

“I was like, I’m cool with that. It wasn’t as much as I was making in WCW, but it was a whole lot of money. I was like I’m good with that, I’m good JR."
