Former WWE employee Arn Anderson recently talked about the time WCW had to undergo budget cuts on his podcast ARN. It was at that time that the company wanted multiple Superstars to take a pay cut. However, former WWE Superstar Brian Pillman refused to take a cut even though he was threatened that he would be turned into a jobber.

Arn Anderson said that Pillman agreed to become 'the highest-paid jobber' but would not agree to lower his income by any means.

''The mentality would’ve been, ‘Hey, listen, it’s still more money than they’re qualified to make anywhere else in the natural world. Half is still a lot more than they’re gonna make in any other job they’re qualified to.’ I can hear that conversation happening.” (H/t: SportsKeeda)

Former WWE Superstar Chris Masters recently spoke to SportsKeeda on Inside SKoop and talked about the Elimination Chamber match he was a part of. The match ended with John Cena as the WWE Champion but Edge cashed in his MITB briefcase soon after to become the new WWE Champion.

Masters revealed that the Superstars were not informed of the finish and it was a surprise to them as well.

''When I did that Elimination Chamber match, where Cena had won, they didn’t tell Carlito or me that Edge was coming out and cashing in right after that. We had no idea. We were just as kind of surprised as everybody. We really were. ''

He further stated that Carlito had a hunch that something fishy was about to happen but he himself was clueless.
