>>19608299It depends, when you in indies and in demand you are hopefully smart enough to be in charge of your merch sales, appearances pricing, cameo sales, etc etc you can definitely do better than working for a set pay in a company that will offer a stable pay and expenses regardless of performance but also take massive cuts of what your name is on.
A random midcard indie guy with no big company exposure makes less than Tozawa. A semi popular active guy like Cardona probably took a pay cut, but say in 4 years if he's out in the indies again, the exposure on TV pays back on the indie rates and meet and greets
