I find it comical that Bryan gets the credit for good ratings....

... yet The Rock is given sole credit for the ratings WWE got in 2000

The Rock was a draw, yet HHH never drew a dime the same year? Pfff

Hunter didn't. He worked with the draws. Bryan doesn't have anyone with a drawing history to work with.

From 98-01, everything drew. After that, TV ratings plummeted

McMahon and Hunter were the #1 heels during those years and get 0 credit

Did the Rock draw w/o Hunter or Austin?

Did Austin draw w/o Rock, Hunter or Vince?


You probably have an answer for that too, since you always do

Austin vs Taker drew, Rock vs Angle drew,Austin vs Michaels drew pretty well. You see a correlation here? Anyone who feuded with Austin or Rock drew.

What do you mean by the bolded by the way?

But everyone drew during those years, wrestling was that hot.

I see no correlation other than that.

After WM 17, nobody really drew anymore. not Austin, Rock or anybody.

I saw RAW's in 02-04 with both Rock and Austin and the numbers weren't great

You do know the WWE had it's 2nd most successful year financially in 2010 right? There obviously is some kind of drawing power under the Cena era. Not to mention Wrestlemania 23 being the highest grossing of all time. Life moved on after the Attitude Era. John Cena drew post attitude era. Not to mention 27 grossing $6.6 million. Rating fell sure but as a business the WWE is in better shape then ever.

Daniel Bryan rules heel or not he is starting to captivate me more when he is in the ring he still tries putting on a solid match with the giants or else against Randy Orton this friday it will be excellent.

If Orton/Bryan put on a good enough match, I can see a Triple Threat at Mania
