Here’s a thread that could go 100+ pages.
Inspired by a story I heard recently on the AIW podcast. They did a show about poorly run local promotions. Owner John Thorne was very clear that this was NOT an AIW show this happened on.
Anyway, John Thorne and the late Chandler Biggins were booked to do live commentary on a local show. Some name talent was booked including Heidenreich. When the show started Heidenreich saw there was only about a dozen fans there. The owner was obviously not going to be able to pay everyone without losing his ass. So Heidenreich just took the entire cashbox and left!
Now, the other talent knows the promoter has no money to pay everyone else. Making the most of it some of the wrestlers forced the promoter to go to the gas station with them and fill up all their tanks on a credit card. They may not have been able to get paid, but at least they had their gas money covered.

I guess he technically got compensation, but Jericho once was paid with a hot dog and a glass of orange juice.

How no one has assaulted him is one of the great mysteries of life. |

Not for a wrestling event but I remember a story of a convention where roddy Piper took the promoter of the convention to the bank because the guy was going to stiff everyone if anyone knows the whole story I’d love to hear it

I still say, "I'll get you back, kid" like CM Punk (??) used to when shooting about Ian Rotten/IWA-MS not paying him.

How no one has assaulted him is one of the great mysteries of life. How he's managed a second career getting a guy who trusts no one to trust HIM is beyond me. I guess he knows better not to screw Brock. |

DSOTR had Scott D'Amore talking about how he got only half paid for a show and Johnny K9 went back and got the rest he was owed

How no one has assaulted him is one of the great mysteries of life. Well, there was Tommy Dreamer's delightful tale of planning to murder to him live at WrestleMania, but it was comparing having two ponytails to sexual assault that got people all upset. |

I think Pinkie Sanchez's falling out with CHIKARA was because he showed up to a show half an hour late and Quack refused to pay him.

I once knew someone who worked for Ian Rotten, said Ian tried to pay him in sandwiches that had gone bad. Jimmy Yang when brought back for a one-off in TNA didn't get paid for half a year Someone called him after he vented about it on social media and told him he was being "unprofessional" about it, too! Gotta love TNA. Didn't pay the wrestlers, didn't pay production, got sued several times for not paying people... |

Local carnie dude booked a 3 hour show at a casino in Vicksburg. 4 wrestlers and the guy that brought the ring got paid. No one else did. Only names on the show known outside this area were Tim Storm,James Beard and Les Thatcher.
Last we heard the guy that promoted the show has hauled ass out of state.
