Marc Mero Selling His First Guaranteed WWF Contract
Mero included a story about the paperwork.
Taking to social media, former WWF/E Intercontinental Champion Marc Mero shared that he is selling his first guaranteed WWF contract.
He noted that the document is signed by Linda McMahon. Here is his full post:
As I continue going through my wrestling memorabilia, I came across a pretty incredible piece of history. In 1996, I received a $50,000 signing bonus from the WWF, which would be worth approximately $105,000 today.
What makes this even more special is that I was the first wrestler to receive a guaranteed contract, on top of a signing bonus of this size, something unheard of at the time. The document is signed by Linda McMahon, adding to its historical significance.
I’m currently selling my memorabilia, including very rare items like my WWF first guaranteed contract, which helped open the door for guaranteed contracts for wrestlers who came after me. It’s been amazing rediscovering these moments and reflecting on how far the business has come.
