And he couldn't sustain a damn thing.
The guy drew a 1.8 in Oct. '96. One of the lowest public (Post-'95) RAW ratings in the history of the program. There was a damn good reason why the belt was put on Sid. Why Royal Rumble '97 was one of the most papered shows in history in Shawn's own fukking hometown. They guy just wasn't a draw at all.
Now come with some hard show attendance averages or stop typing. I gave you the TV averages which proved that Bret got better cumulative ratings. Prove me wrong on the attendance front.
bret was duckin out waiting for him to fail too, that's the funny thing. then he comes back and expects to be paid the remainder of his contract
son please, the numbers are out there. Meltzer has gone on and on about how house show numbers improved under Michaels reign. Yes, TV ratings decreased from April 1996 to October 1996. Gee I wonder why :nwo: ... plus HBK supporting cast was a$$hole in summer '96. Peep how the ratings boomed after the title win though, through June when the NWO started.
son you need to study up on the business before you come at me. Vince chose HBK The God for a reason, and it's not because his swag was so unbearable for you squares that you had to come up with conspiracy theories. It was because of the cold hard numbers HBK was putting up compared to anyone since Hogan. Selling more tickets. Selling more merch.
If you aren't an Observer subscriber, go ahead and read some of those back issues. HBK drew more live attendance than anyone since the Hogan/Savage era and that's a fact jack.
