5 Signs That Indy Wrestling is the Future of the Business

Those Before Them

.

The foundation set by former champions make independent that much more appealing

There is a legacy that has been laid down by those who have already been there. Just look at the wrestlers who have main-evented at WrestleMania. Rollins stole the show in 2015. Daniel Bryan owned it in 2014. AJ Styles appeared in his first Wrestlemania this year. Those images make an impact, and show that anyone can make it to the WWE if they’re good enough.

The same way promotions like ECW and NJPW have been key in the development of stars who become the best in the business, there is a legacy that has been created by those who have moved on.

It continues to be a cycle of success that expands and gets bigger with each name winning on the next level. Who becomes the next big thing? Which worker today wins major title five years from now?

Like any promotion, success is built on the success of others.
