I wonder how much some bigger indie guys charge. I went to a NWA show years ago at a VFW hall and they charging about $20 to get in. It was a decent sized crowd and the guys wrestling were decent but no way they could have been paid much. I know the bulk of Indy wrestlers have regular jobs and just wrestle on weekends or whatever.It's because there rate are to high, Meltzer alluded to this last week. You can't charge $4000 a pop and expect to get dates...especially in a world where Cody, Keith Lee, and any other name that can be had at a much lower rate....if you work with promoters and put in work you can make a nice living outside.
How can higher level Indy guys make a lot of money wrestling in multiple dates in high school gyms, BTW halls, etc?
