The irony of all this is that Triple Haitch is actually a B+ player

[MF_BREW]

Hunter have always been a sidekick through out his career. From when he got started with the bodybuilder dude to William regal , to the kliq to the start of DX. Even when he was "The leader" of DX he kind of was sidekicked. just my thoughts mane

that's actually a great point. He was never "the man" - sidekick to Regal, sidekick to HBK, sidekick to Rock/Austin in Attitude era, sidekick to Flair in Evolution, sidekick to Cena during Ruthless Aggression, sidekick to Stephanie now

 

[The G.O.D II]

Savage outdrew the Warrior by the widest of margins. Comparing them is insanity. Warrior never drew anywhere near the level Savage drew. Savage is the second biggest draw of her era behind Hogan, Flair is the only one even close.

All of that was based off Hogan and the mega powers feud. Savage never drew that during his second run or anywhere after. Hogan was beyond stale and washed but was still getting the belt in 93 while Savage was buried in commentary. Don't get me wrong, I like Savage, but he is not Andre, Taker, Flair ( guys who were draws for decades)

 

[The G.O.D II]

Cold hard facts >>>>>>>>> your memory as a kid.

Warrior was pushed really hard when we were growing up so in your head he was a big draw. Reality his title reign was one of the biggest busts in WWE history.

This is a blatant lie. Biggest bust? And I'm talking before that. He was drawing in 88-89 in the midcard. His pop at SS 88 is still top five

How the fukk is Goldberg an A- player? This ain't 1998

I said ONE of. And yes it is a fact. His reign the house show attendance was HALF of what it was during Hogan's reign, PPV business went down as well. There's nothing successful about his reign.

You talking about a Pop from one PPV, I'm talking about generating money breh. Come on man, think. You letting your emotions blind reality. That's my point. UW got huge pops when he came to the ring and the WWE pushed him a lot so in your mind he was a huge mega draw. In reality, he wasn't at all. His midcard run he was a better draw than he was as a maineventer. When he got the ball, he failed miserably.

Savage house show attendance as champion, and before he won the belt and after was right there with Hogan's, just a smidge below and sometimes bigger depending on the market. PPV isn't fair to compare because Hogan mainevented with him in most PPVs when he was champion as a partner of his.

No Brodus Clay on any of these list so all are invalid!!!!

[FreshAIG]

sorry but the numbers don't bear that out. they did drop when Warrior won the title, but all that means is he wasn't as big a draw as Hogan. That doesn't mean he wasn't a big draw though. They still did great business with Warrior on top.

There is no basis for even saying Savage is a bigger draw. He never had a prolonged run of any sort as "THE GUY" on top. Warrior was always the clear cut #2 behind Hogan when he was there.

Are you on crack bro? Lmao. seriously. I've never seen someone who has no idea what they're talking about be so vocal. No offense, but anyone who follows the business of wrestling would laugh uproariously at the notion Warrior was even in the same ballpark as Savage as a draw. Vince would laugh at you.

Warrior as champion did very poor business for the time. Very poor. His first 2 months house show attendance was solid, then it went down the drain. He was considered a bust within 5 months of his reign.

Savage reign as WWE champion was wildly successful. His house show attendance was right there with Hogans, just slightly below, depending on the market they were in. And back then attendance was the biggest factor, because that's where a lot of their money came from. Savage reign was so successful they actually considered Savage beating Hogan at WM 5 because they thought they could continue the feud for another year because it was the best business WWE ever did at that time.

A few things:

Triple H is definitely in the "A" range, but I'd expect nothing less from people who want to diminish his career because they have some sort of grudge against him so its whatever.

LOL @ Goldberg or Warrior being placed among the greats. They were both awful wrestlers, complete flashes in the pan, and generally disliked by their peers for very valid reasons.

Andre is ranked way too high. Andre was a carnival act. Yes he did "pop territories", but his runs were always short lived, because he couldnt sustain interest from the paying public. He was used as sort of the ultimate trump card: A heel would be on a strong run, and then Andre would be brought in to set him straight. Andre would then promptly leave because there wasnt much you could do with him after that. Once he settled on the WWE later in his career, he became just another guy outside of his Mania 3 match.

Bruno deserves to be wherever Austin and the Rock are. He sold out the garden month, after month, after month....for well over a decade. Fans never got sick of him. He was the first babyface Icon of the business.

Wrestling was a carnival act. And he was its biggest attraction. The fact that he moved teritorries everywhere and had a consistant formula that worked as you stated makes him a serious, all time draw, a GOAT attraction, and an A+ player. Andre was the face of wrestling until mania 3.

POST mania 3 andre didnt seem larger than life because hogan beat him and he couldnt move at all, so he went down the card...but even then his rivalry with jake was amazing.

 

[Silkk]

A+: Hogan/Rock/Austin/Flair
A: HBK/Taker/Sting/Cena
B+: HHH

Then you gotta look at Jericho/B*****/Eddie/Edge, etc

 

[Da King]

So HHH is B+ when he was the biggest heel of the greatest era in wrestling history

 

[FreshAIG]

I never knew they kept Paul Orndorff off WM 3 just incase Angre couldn't wrestle, he'd be the replacement at the last minute. Smart idea.

I always wondered why he wasn't on the show, because at the time he was the second biggest heel in the WWE. It would almost be like Orton not being on WM 30.

 

[FreshAIG]

I have Triple H as A- but honestly, you can put him at A too. He was a really good draw for years and years.

Naw....it was proven that Andre would actually kill business if he stayed a territory for any extended period of time, because there wasnt anything interesting about him other than his freakish size, and he would actually hurt the drawing power of his opponents because they would look like fools wrestling him. Thats not a GOAT. He was a nice special attraction.
