Also vince himself said HBK made the most money for the WWF while Bret was gone. But what does the chairman know over a neckbeard?

Yeah why would Vince put over the guy he hand selected as the face and who he likely held a romantic relationship with at the time?

You're really going to compare Miz's Road to Wrestlemania ratings which always are the highest for the year? Fail.

And like I stated before, to even imply that Miz outdraws Cena in anything is stupid.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Razor should have had Diesel's run and led the New Gen era. The era would have been much more successful.

Razor was unreliable back then. He was way more talented than Diesel but he had too many demons.

 

[CM Punk]

 

[mrken12]

shyt was money. He punted Vince, Shane, rkoed Stephanie, handcuffed hhh, kissed Steph, sled hammered him in the dome, and walked off while the crowd applauded. HHH then ran in up in RKO house on some tier ZERO fukkery. One of my favorite fueds ever....then they had a match

It WOULD have been a great feud except they had to follow up Undertaker vs Michaels and the match itself had a weird stipulation that ruined the tone of the match.

The fued and its buildup is separate from the match for this conversation. We are in agreement that the match didn't work. The fued was great however.

The match didn't work btw not only because the crowd was dead....but after the BLOOD FUED they had, they damn near started with a lockup or something, and basically had a wrestling match. And they hit their finishers like two minutes into the match and like three times after. It sucked. But the fued leading to it was classic.

I'm pretty sure Brisco gave him the after he dropped that line on him.

No HitGOAT and CM GAWD, filed and understood

No D Bry either. :brian:

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Alberto has 2 reigns as WWE's top champion that didn't even last 100 days, there's no point on judging him for such a small sample.

He was WHC for a good while but that was never as big a deal, specially when Del Rio won that belt, it was basically a unified roster at that point.

Del rio held the belt for a full 4 months tho. That's not exactly a small amount of time. I think that passes the 100 day mark.

No reason why he shouldn't be on this list.

That was the WHC, not the WWE Ttile, he never held the main belt for more than 60 days.

 

[Osmosis]

The Rollins/Reigns/Ambrose era is probably the worst business WWE has done in terms of house show gates and ratings in quite some time yet the fans had to fight tooth and nail for Bryan and Punk to receive a fraction of their push.

 

[BodeineBrazy]

Spoiler: TL;DR

Orton's last reign wasn't a push though...they were in a holding pattern during the worst time of year to get to wrestlemania and give the belt to Daniel Bryan. HE was the draw at the time as the person chasing the belt. Big show as a main event we is evidence that they were just punting until rumble.

He went into and out of mania 24 champ: million+ buys
He went into mania xxv in the hottest fued...biggest gate ever

I mean, orton is proven, there is no debate...that was an angle where he basically had to heel it up and deny the fans what they wanted (Daniel Bryan) to get MORE MONEY out of them in april

Look at all the tall guys. I love receipts.

The company lost $750 million with that beardface vanilla midget.

Again, lies. Miz/Cena is widely touted for being the most successful (financially) WM feud ever. Try again.

Give one source for that.
