WWE pays Limp Bizkit $2 million to not perform at WrestleMania
In an unprecedented piece of showbiz negotiation, World Wrestling Entertainment has struck a deal with rap-metal band Limp Bizkit to ensure they will not perform at WrestleMania 30 in April.
“We are proud to announce that Limp Bizkit will not be — in fact never be — part of WrestleMania again,” WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said during a press conference yesterday.
“Once was enough,” McMahon added. “In fact, it was probably too much.”
Limp Bizkit performed at WrestleMania 19, which “seemed like a good idea at the time, but wasn’t,” said McMahon.
In a sub-clause of Limp Bizkit’s non-performance contract, it was also confirmed that WWE Raw will never, ever be hosted again by Dennis Miller.
