Drugs, roids, strippers, bad investments, expenses from being on the road, and don't forget child support and alimony. Plus it had probably been more than a decade since he was making big money.

"If I'm wrong, I'll pay for it. But if I'm right you're gonna hear about it."

Probably the same as a lot of other wrestlers, he never bothered to save it and blew it all on the party lifestyle while he was on the road only to be left with very little once he retired which he spent on coke, booze and other stuff, he's also divorced which probably didn't help. These same kinds of things have happaned to the best of wrestlers such as Ric Flair, Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, and so on.

Although wrestlers who are big names like Randy was still get paid well for appearances and such. Highspots paid Ric Flair something ridiculous like 100k to do a shoot interview.

Very true. I read somewhere that the average career of an NFL player is only four years. After that, it can go downhill fast. Not to mention the brain injuries these guys can get from to many concussions and its no wonder so many end up drug abusers or kill themselves.

If you have streaming netflix they have a documentary about athletes and
their finances that is appropriately titled 'Broke', doesn't deal with
wrestlers just guys from the three major sports. The previously mentioned
items all play a part but also bad investments that were supposed to provide a
stream of income after their playing days ( car washes were frequently cited,
don't know how you could screw that up but there you go ). But probably the
biggest issue cited is friends and family who go from self sufficient to
invalids the day you sign that big money contract, recently Allan Iverson was
playing 'pro' basketball in Turkey after going through 200 million made from the
NBA and endorsements, much spent on a 60 person plus entourage that he felt
obligated to since they helped him out when he was younger. Unfortunately
these stories are more the rule then the exception

I read the same thing back in the 80s. Pro Westling Illustrated stated that a top star like Dusty Rhodes made about a half mil a year. In an interview with the same mag, promoter Jim Crockett said wrestlers were independent contractors. So far as I know they still are, so they are responsible for paying double SS, withholding taxes, medical insurance blah blah blah. Throw in the cost of travel, and a lonely lifestyle that makes it easy to succumb to drugs and booze and it's easy to see where the money would go.

This movie is partly based of Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He had a well known drug habit and had a rough life that gave him no proper raising and he did not know the right/wrong way of doing things. He wasted the money on drugs/alcohol and had several wives and at least 1 daughter.

Roberts was a smart mind about the business but could not function enough to properly use it. He wanted to be a backstage guy when he was done working for the WWE but they passed him over and he left. He burnt bridges and is finally trying to fix it after 20 years.

My guess is Randy was the same. He had a family when he was small time but when he hit it he gave them up. He got into the blow and wasted what money he had, and the big timers dumped him because he was "too old." He was not smart like his buddy The Ayatollah, who ran the car dealership and was good enough to save money.
