Pro Wrestler Missy Hyatt Exposes $250,000 Pay Gap, Blasts Eric Bischoff

Missy Hyatt, a well-known figure in professional wrestling, recently spoke out about her experience with WCW, alleging a significant pay disparity compared to her male colleagues. In a clip from VICE TV's Dark Side of the Ring: Unheard podcast, Hyatt details a $250,000 annual difference in salary compared to a male announcer performing similar duties. "...and get's paid $250,000 a year more than me." she stated. Hyatt further claims that Eric Bischoff, a prominent figure in WCW, prioritized his friendship with her ex-boyfriend over addressing the pay inequity. "His friendship with Jason Hervey, my ex-boyfriend, was more important...It's more important for Eric Bischoff to suck ass than it is for him to make money." This situation highlights a persistent issue within the wrestling industry and broader entertainment world—gender-based pay gaps. Hyatt's outspokenness encourages further discussion about fair compensation and equal opportunities for women in professional wrestling.
