I dont think people understand just how expensive travel is. Doing a tour in Japan isnt that bad. Its only 6 weeksish driving around an island. Is not a huge place. Once youre home you might take half a dozen dates for some money marks and make a killing doing. Pad your calender with a few high profile shows for visibility. Not that bad at all.
The fed youre on the road nearly non stop and unles youve got status and tenure travel fees are your problem That gets expensive fast.
A guy like Gallows for example isnt going to make what he was making without some major bonuses.
There is this mystique than the fed everyone is getting rich and the indies everyone starves and that just isnt true.
The top guys get super rich in the fed, more so than they could anywhere else. But the random guys lower on the card can and routinely do make more elsewhere. Depends on the individual.
A guy like Kenny Omega would sacrifice the lions share of his earnings his first year before he renegotiated. Where as if Elias left the WWE he's going to end bagging groceries.
