I'm not sure if this is intentional. I am using the latest patch.
In my 1991 save, we are currently in the year 1995. El Dandy has become very, very popular in Mexico (91 popularity) and has single digit popularity in the U.S. (except for Mid South and South West where he is at 27). He has 9 popularity across Japan.
El Dandy is currently employed by AAA. He is their Champion. His contract is a handshake agreement for $18,350 per show.
Okay, here's the strange part:
I am playing a U.S. based promotion. If I go to "estimated cost to R2GW", it tells me that El Dandy will cost me $3,700 per month but $15,900 per show. That's right. It is 4x cheaper to hire him on a monthly contract rather than on a per show basis.
I'm not sure if that is intentional. I did not know which forum to bring this up in. Obviously, my "suggestion" would be to adjust one of these totals so that it makes more sense.
