lmao, Benoit was treated as a secondary champion, HHH was still the guy in the spotlight. Benoit was just keeping the belt warm for Orton.
The real reason pay-per-views declined in 2004 was because fans quickly realized that the split-brand PPVs were utterly worthless and essentially 3-hour Raws and SmackDowns where half the cards are littered with time filler featuring guys they couldn't care less about. It brought it back to the In Your House days. Business didn't recover much in 2005 either, because fans already new the deal with the B-shows.
Pretty bad article that basically pins shytty overall time periods entirely on the champions. Even Diesel was stuck facing goddamn MABEL and other crap. The mid-90s in general were fukked, so you can't really blame him, Bret, HBK, or Taker for that. They were the only guys worth going with in a bad time for business.

I can clearly see someone isnt on this list.
Neither is a current world champ in mexico.
Big Daddy cool topping a list with "Vanilla Midgets" though

Your TSC World Champion
Its ok to blame every other wrestler for downtimes in the business and lack of opponents or devauling by the company by making them secondary to certain company main eventerd but when bryan has legit a terrible wwe championship runand the conpany loses 750 million while hes champ it doesnt fall under this same umbrella
Only guys on this list i legit thought were terrible draws were miz and nash
Nash fidnt become a draw until wcw but miz has never been a draw
Hes the jeff jarrett of the new era except the wwe finally realized this after they tried to cash jn on some nonexistent real world road rules fame
Outside of the Miz and JBL I find it funny the list is comprised of guys that are highly revered by the casual fan and marks alike.
It was like if Austin was trying to be the man but HBK or Bret was main eventing every show and being positioned as the face of the company . A lot of these examples are flawed because if you compare the buy rights of one year and then say next year well the other draws are out but it's the champs fault is silly . Austins run was great but he got such a great villain in Vince , the rock come up is kind of more impressive that was able to recover from die rocky die hateI'll always feel like the think that happened with Punk was post Pipe Bomb, he really was "The One To Watch" in WWE.
Folks deny it, but there's been no bigger draw since Austin than the story of "The Regular Slobby Looking/Acting/Talking Dude vs The Corporate Machine Or Whatever Represents It"
WWE misses this point by always having the Corporation pick on these pretty boy square jawed babyfaces, but I digress...
Anyway, I saw it as Punk leveraging that fame in his contract renegotiations and one of the stipulations was that he was champ for a determined length of time.
Vince or whoever, being tired of his shyt, gave him the belt..... but booked Cena as champ.
During Seth Rollins' reign, Vince got back into billionaire status but the ratings for Raw have been worse compared to Bryan's reign. The underperformance of the WWE Network was the main reason for the loss of money.
at the Jeff Jarrett-Miz comparison.

Change is inevitable...
People who agree with the bullshyt on this list will one day blame WWE's failures on Daniel Bryan.
The list is bullshyt.. Greenfield, headwriter on Smackdown in 2004-2006, said Eddie was mainly responsible for Smackdown's successful ratings during that time.
Lol at Punk being on the list. WWE moved to three hours mid-way through his reign and the WWE's roster was depleted compared to what it is now. Rollins/Brock last month did worse in terms of TV ratings than Punk/Del Rio.

Bryan had a grand total of one month on TV as the WWE champion, and he didn't even appear on Raw for half of that. Get the fukk outta here with your third grade troll logic. WWE lost money because they gassed up stockholders and overestimated how many casual fans would be interested in the Network.
