They're only a bargaining chip based on a grossly overinflated base salary, and it comes with your "brand" losing all value meaning sponsorships, appearance fees, and overall buzz tanks. For guys like Okada or Ospreay who no one knows to begin with, it's great. Also great for people like Edge or Mercedes who had their spotlight time already burnt out.
Anyone besides that, you're basically throwing away all future prospects for one big check, or you're young and looking to grab eyes and willing to leave at any time.
