It is guaranteed Leon would have had a bigger payday in Japan, but maybe he didn't need it. Vader is still an old school guy Vader could have opted (read: been persueded by Heyman) to stay to help put over some of the younger guys, in the vein of Terry Funk or Dusty. Like Cornette said "IT'S FUCKING VADER", wrestling fans knew who he was- and the ECW crowd would have been all over that. The "big fish in a small pond" thing could have been advantagous to whoever was booked to finally knock him off... likely in a "who can stop Vader???" angle where he runs roughshod over the entire roster, face and heel alike.
