It's pretty sick actually, I worked out that hiring 3 well known American stars to appear would cost about £7,000 including fees, flights and accomodation. I included Regal in the end (I doubt my leturer knows THAT much about WWE contracts) and added an extra 2K to his fee with the assumption that some of it would go to WWE. Having done that I then worked out that I could book about 10 British Indy workers for just over £1,000! Damn those guys need a union!
What other 2 Americans did you pick?

If you were able to get say D'Lo Brown, Raven and Teddy Hart (easy the most over indy star right now) then I think it's feeasble that you could draw 5000 people with the right promotion and building. For any show, you'd need more than 3 Americans though. Possibly exploit Mexico's economy and get 2 stars from there to do a match together.
