Who is the highest paid indy wrestler ever?
 
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?

CSL 05-31-2010 02:39 PM

The freshly released WWE guys usually.

BollywoodSingh 05-31-2010 05:27 PM

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.

Hanso Amore 05-31-2010 07:22 PM

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? 05-31-2010 10:26 PM

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.

Super Dragon

At one point I think Reckless Youth was.

No idea but I'm sure CM Punk is right up there.

Hanso Amore 06-01-2010 09:35 PM

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'.

Xero 06-02-2010 09:07 AM

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

CSL 06-02-2010 12:43 PM

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

Hanso Amore 06-02-2010 02:30 PM

Maybe 17500

Including travel funds.

He absolutely was.

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

No. I'm pretty sure it was Super Dragon.

RiX1024 06-04-2010 04:38 AM
