You mean the Summerslam headlined by Brock/HHH with Punk in the midcard? You crediting Punk with that?

Bryan/Orton at HIAC did 228,000 buys.. Higher than what Punk ever did at that same PPV.

Bryan/Orton at NOC did 196,000 buys.. Higher than what Punk did with HHH at his hottest point during the Summer of Punk (he did 169,000 buys)

Bryan/Cena at Summerslam did 311,000 buys.. Higher than what Punk/Cena did at Summerslam (they did 296,000 buys)

The only number Punk did better than Bryan was NOC 2012 but he only did that because he was working with Cena. Bryan at the same PPV did only 10,000 less with a shytty card and without Cena to work with.

Bryan also carried the entire fall with Cena on his back and ratings were higher than they were the previous year with Punk as champ. What happened the one week Cena went down in 2012 during Punk's reign? Oh yeah, a fukking 2.5 rating happened: http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_65667.shtml#.U5i3nJSwJK0

As for House Shows, Punk never even headlined his own tour! That just shows how much bigger Bryan is. Dude was headliniing his own tour and by March was selling out venues. Just look at Meltzer's reports.
Did Bryan Do December to dismember numbers ?'did punk have ppvs that outperformed Bryan'? Did punk sell a bunch of merch ? Did Bryan himself said he didn't draw money ? All facts so :camby: your ass out of here

Raw yearly ratings:

The real failure of the E was whatever happened in 2000 onward. Thats when they lost the majority of wrestling fans

Anybody that knows anything already knows why the stock went up and dropped, and it had nothing to do with the wrestlers.
Literally stops going up as soon as Triple H became a main eventer :dead:

He really ruined Raw.. every single week starting off with a 10-20min promo

In addition to this we really saw the first truly incompetent moment post attitude era with the Invasion and the McMahons all up in the video. Even from my perspective as a teenager the show started becoming unwatchable from start to finish but since there was no YouTube you had to grin and bare it to see the 3 or 4 guys you cared about

Which is a shame cos in mid 2001 you had probably the best line up of in-ring performers in history but completely fumbled the shyt

Massive bag fumbling in the WWF during that time despite the huge roster and good PPVs that were happening. They thought the WCW fans would just shift over to the WWF once they were purchased, but that didn’t happen at all. And we already know the deal with HHH being made to run through the entire roster from 2002-2006.
