Im not talking about one-off appearances either, like Ultimate Warrior did v Orlando Jordan, but someone on the indy scene permanently.

I'd take a guess at Danielson in ROH, but Im not sure?

The freshly released WWE guys usually.

I don't know much about Indy wrestling but do most of the wrestlers have 2nd jobs? I'm talking about the top guys in Indy wrestling.

TOP GUYS?

No.

Alot of guys yes.

I doubt anyone who wrestles in ROH ever works other jobs. They get by on their ROH fees, and make money working other shows/selling at the gimmick table
What Would Kevin Do?

If I had to guess right now, I'd say someone like Davey Richards or Chris Hero, assuming both still do tours in NOAH too.

What about older days? guys like Bruiser Bordy made a killing on shows around the world.

From the point of view of what they could command for an appearance or what they make in a year?

Both preferably. Not just the current highest paid, but of all time though.

I saw that Ken Anderson makes $2,500 per app in TNA and made $175,000 for the 'Hulkamania Tour' alone, but he wasnt really in the indies enough to warrant calling him an 'indy wrestler'.

$175k for about ten shows!? For Kennedy!? Is Hogan really Ted Turner?

It was 4 shows. And I'd be very surprised if Kennedy made $175,000 for that tour.

Maybe 17500

Including travel funds.

He absolutely was.

There is a reason he was, and always will be, "The King of The Indies".
