Yeah, I don't think that'll happen. Why not? What happened? He left on pretty bad terms the last time he left. I know people say, "Never say never", but yeah, never. But really, if you were him, would you stay with a company that treats you like an expendable midcard comedy act, or would you go back to working the indies on your own schedule, being allowed to be yourself, and making far more money than you were in TNA? I mean really. |

I'd be willing to bet working ROH and PWG, making as much as Aries likely does, that he makes more per month than he was in TNA. |

Perhaps...
Good question here...I would have to think by the time he paid for his travel to & from ROH & PWG shows, he'd probably make more in TNA, who basically perform in the same building every week, though they seem to be having more & more house shows. But never mind the money, I'm more intrigued by the status...if given the chance, what would you guys rather do, be a mid-carder in a world-wide promotion, or be one of the bigger independent stars? Two things to remember: 1. Money can't buy respect, ESPECIALLY your own, BUT 2. Those world-wide promotions (all 2 of 'em, at least) are basically all the average fan watches. Shockingly enough, not everybody follows wrestling like "us", though I can't help but think the world would be a better place if they did, and eventually, you're going to want the recognition on a large scale, right?
Again, this is a really good question...would you rather be John Morrison or Bryan Danielson?

EDIT: To answer the question though, I'd rather be Bryan Danielson. Being able to work your own schedule, your own style, and be your own character is worth more than selling out for wealth. |

And apparently Danielson makes more on the Indys than he would on a TNA or WWE contract (assuming he'd get the basic low level WWE contract)

Danielson may make more on the indy scene, but I doubt many (if any) others do. I'm sure guys like Aries and Hero do very well for themselves, though.

I'd say Morrison is treated a bit better by the company he works for than Aries was when he was in TNA. He might be treated better, but my point was this: Do you ever see him rising above mid-card status in WWE? So while he might be seen by millions on a weekly basis & have his own action figure, chances are he'll never main event Wrestlemania & the promotion will never revolve around him. (For the record, I happen to think WWE is truly missing out on a goldmine with Morrison. Personally, I think he's capable of being the next Shawn Michaels. Unfortunately, the only "booking" I do is with cardboard  |

You'd have to think that guys who work for multiple promotions like Hero, Aries & Danielson probably do pretty well for themselves, but figure with all that travel time & all those expenses involved, it probably cuts into their income significantly. I'd actually love for a guy on the Indie scene to write a book, so we can see how the "other half" lives.
