because he

wouldn't come here at 19, but would at 31, for 500k too, another reason I never totally liked Worthington

The fact he got injured straight away (and had been injured a few times in his career, an example thrown at me about thorne a fair bit), made it look obvious he was sitting on a pay day

That said 500k plus 3 years wages, Emblen was fairly well liked
