I might know a guy. Not sure if he's actually any good, but he will take an elbow drop or two.

The bottom line though is we can talk about the work required on the Indy's but they're not developing the talent that they used to. I've gone and watched Indy's and for the most part, we're not seeing workers that understand story telling and psychology, but there are a bunch of workers that just want to get their #### in. Most workers would struggle with an unscripted promo. And remember this is a televised show.
You can argue that the Rock and Austin, and Hogan (though his later year stuff was garbage) and Cena were given carte blanche on their promo's because they proved they could do it. Rollin's gets a lot of freedom on his promo's as does Becky Lynch, Flair, Reigns (But they put him with Heyman for a reason).
There's a reason why WWE is going away from the Indy wrestlers and getting athletes that they can build to their own level, and its because the Indy's aren't the fertile ground that they used to be and far too many of the Indy Superstars just languished and died in NXT instead of improving.
And a lot of them that aren't around anymore went from the Indy feeling NXT setting to the main roster and died there when their faults were exposed on TV.

$20 is a bit of an underestimate but your point is well taken. Indies, at least in Canada, is a passion nit a career.
That said, Indies in the US, you could do alright.
