It's not always the worst option. Young Bucks made it in a different way. There an anomaly more then they are the norm. What worked for them will not work for everybody. I've seen more people make it the WWE way then The Young Bucks way. I understand there point though but there's more then one way to make money.

Wrestlers are the biggest marks!

so it's ROH that's taken that spot or random indie shows that the bucks are going to?
The combination of ROH/NJPW/indies/merch.
its not just the bucks. cody rhodes, omega and marty scurll are all ahead of the game.

ROH's relationship with NJPW pushes them slightly past Impact. I can give them a clear win though because it's still easier for me to watch Impact on TV than it is for me to watch ROH in my area.

ROH has better attendance and actually sells ppvs though.

That's why my only gripe is that they refuse to get a basic cable spot or at least a good syndication spot in NYC.

You're right, he chose that shyt himself and said that WWE was "holding him back" by not letting him do it in the first place.

True, not everybody out here is as popping/talented like Kenny and the YB. I understand where there coming from as well because form their standpoint, they can keep riding this wave they are on now and as long as they can then take that leap because they won't have anything to lose.

The only ones fairly red hot and the most successful
Too new to really tell, but they werent viewed as on the same level as the red hot or even fairly respectable
Were a sold a false bill of goods, Hardy's had arguably the biggest buzz and had the biggest name in the biz last year and all that buzz got fizzled out, Gallows and Anderson were killing it and were big time doing their thing, now they are just "another couple of guys" just as bland as the next, Generico had a spark when he started now he just garbage
Fairly respectable. Injuries cost him, probably will never go higher than when his ceiling is set
These guys are destined to come out to Bo Dallas, Curt Hawkins type reactions, and thats not a good thing
With that said, excluding the Hardys, only really the Red Hot guys are the guys that have the best opportunity to make the big bucks and even they wont make what say Cena, or Reigns makes.
Now yea I get some of the other guys may get paid.... but that only due to proxy via the fact that they have to work 330 days a year (now including Christmas) to make it.
Imagine if you worked for say Target and make $90K a year salary.... but have to work 70hr weeks + and every holiday with no real perks.
Vs the guy that works at say at Big Lots for say $45K a year hourly... but works 15-30hrs a week and have the opportunity to have a flex schedule and work part time anywhere else he chooses negotiating his own fee and can take as much time off as he wants.
I bet young King Maxell doesnt even know who his daddy is any more...... since he's dramatically not as home as much as he used to..... and barely even on tv.
I cant do nothing but respect the Young Bucks for being like "fukk out of here with your $15K a year dev contract taking 40-60% of my merch income, with the hope (no promises kid) that I can one day move up to be a one segment 3-5 minute match guy that swallowed up on the show doing nothing year in and out while their gimmick gets buried hurting their marketability and income" vs staying the course getting their full merch income in addition to going where ever they want to go and jacking their price high and protecting their gimmick
At the end of the day people love to throw the "bu bu bu bu bu the money, wins and loses dont matter" that is complete bullshyt. Wins and losses do matter, those things can help or hurt a talents marketability. Theres a reason guys like Cena and Reigns sell so many shirts and make so much money vs a guy like Darren Young. Its doubtful even someone like him is making what top indie guys or the Young Bucks make and I doubt he's even as popular.

The U.K. guys are known to have taken 'mark deals'. I'm sure other guys have too. I remember when James Storm showed up in NXT, TNA offered much more than what WWE was offering which was telling. He wasn't a mark.
They learned the right lessons from starving in TNA as generation me
