^ Very well said. And that is not new, Hulk did that back in the day, though not for injury, but this is exactly what they did with Stone Cold for the same reasons. Not due to injury, but it works today, look at Brock.
Oversaturation came with the elimination of the territories. Guys rarely stayed in the same territory for more than 3 months, before moving on, all to keep them fresh for their return. I think that Brock has proven (even though I adamantly fought it) that a part time guy works in professional wrestling. Fans are smart, even though we are Marks, but we understand how UFC and Boxing works. It's about events, and even though Money Mayweather only fights once a year, fans pour out during that timeframe. I believe you could make that work in wrestling again, and can keep guys healthy.
But there is a catch to part time, especially working house shows. Wrestlers are paid to "Work", meaning their contracts stipulate they get paid their contracted amount for the dates and the type of event the show is. Not all guys will get the kind of contract that Brock gets. But could DB work a similar deal that could pay him enough to live without working the typical WWE schedule? I don't know, that's a tough call.
