bret hart is a draw
By Scott Keith on July 17, 2022
on top until the next guy got there. that iz not true. 1993 rumble had 30 000 buyrate higher then all the one before it except 1991. wm ten had 420 000 buyrate. ratings went back to 3.5 1 month after bret beat nash for belt . the money bret made wwe in his
prime is why they never went under during they scandals. Bret was a massive draw in Europe and Canada, and he
and Shawn Michaels are the only reasons WWE didn't go bankrupt by 1996. He may not have drawn new fans the way Hogan did but there would be no WWE now without Bret around to stop the bleeding. Cena was kind of the same. Maybe he didn't create a boom period
but he sure as hell prevented a bust also you say flair was a draw in nwa?. not really nwa and wcw always lost money when flair was on top jim cornette mentioned nwa business was down in87 and 88. nwa went under in 88 . also here comparison between bret and
flair drawing power. bret prime out grossed flair but flair total is higher

I'd like to point out that this guy sent me 5 emails with Bret Hart stats based on a sentence I said god knows how many years ago. Also no one is denying he was an international draw. That's why they booked him as the top star on international tours. But I'm pretty sure that if Bret was drawing money as the #1 guy, Vince would have kept him in that position.
