They share some of the blame but they shouldn't get full blame. When you go to a wrestling event you really want to see the top guy wrestle. The undercard/mid carders help the card out but the top guy puts butts in the seats/attracts viewers. The Cruiserweights wowed the audience in the 90's but fans tuned in to see how Sting would get the upper hand on the nWo.

your initial argument was he didn't wrestle in 97

now you're talking numbers, just admit you were wrong
OH HE was responsible and not Steve Austin? Boy, little kid..how is that wrong? Please tell me for once...instead of doing the insert your goofy opinion and running for your life the next day.

EVEN IF HE WAS wrestling, it wasn't Shawn Michaels that led to any turn around or anything of the sort or things wouldn't have turned out 100x better than when he and Bret were getting STOMPED out by Sting and the Nwo every week. Dummy. Stupid as a box of rocks.

In the past, yes. But in the "brand era"_ no. Wwe by design is not dependent on any one guy- evidenced by the fact that every wwe live event sells tickets months before any match is announced

He is clearly wrong again and will spin this in to autistic ramblings

Im just here for the show this time :laff:
Wrong about what, fat boy? Who, IF ANY OF YOU, can EVER SCHOOL ME? It's not possible. No matter how many ways you try to flip it, Shawn Michaels was the guy who screwed Bret Hart heading into 1998 and the business was better off for it when he got injured and couldn't do nothing but talk for the next 3 months like he was the Great Khali and shyt. Thank goodness the TRUE Attitude Era didn't have him anywhere near it. Because had it been around? Sting, Goldberg, and the nwo would of won.

The conversation wasnt about drawing money at that point, YOU said he wasnt wrestling 97, if you would've said he barely wrestled then it'd make sense. But its ok i know you wont admit to being wrong kiddo

honestly it makes no sense

how can you blame HBK and not Taker, Bret, etc? If fans cared strongly about them they would have paid to see them regardless of what they were doing on the card. Fans were just not interested in WWE at the time

Both things are gonna connect when it comes to historical greatness. What's the matter with you?

THEY ALL FAILED..that's the point. But Bret and Taker are respected more..that's why they can pop up on Monday and get a standing ovation. Michaels can't.

Don't know what this is getting at, because there's only been like 4-5 TOP guys and their production speaks for itself (I'm ratings and not revenue). Vince and Co might have made the most money with Austin and Cena, but they lost the most ratings with Cena.

When people aren't feeling your top guy, they tend to start finding other things to do besides watching Smackdown forst, and then Raw. Since going public, WWE has been awash in money, so the revenue is skewed, but they haven't been making a compelling product.:yeshrug:

Hogan, Austin, and Rock have been the top guys that made the cash. HHH and Cena hasn't. The ratings speak louder than opinion.

Don't forget the buyrates that went through the roof when they were going strong....well Austin and Rock wise.

I wouldn't argue against all of them failing :manny:
