Dave Meltzer on who is a bigger draw out of Triple H and Bret Hart
>I'm a big fan of Bret Hart, but HHH has drawn tons more money than Hart. One was the top guy during $80 million years and the other was the top guy during $375-425 million years.
>(HHH) would be only behind Rock, Austin, Hogan and Flair. For total PPV money drawn, he'd be well ahead of Flair. Hart nor Flair never headlined a PPV show that came close to the interest level of 2002 Rumble. And everyone in the company will credit HHH's return to the buy rate of that rumble, even though it was years after the peak of the company, it still beat out every rumble during the peak years.
>HHH was never the draw Austin or Rock were. But here in San Jose, HHH drew the biggest crowd for a house show in the history of Northern California when neither Austin nor Rock were on the show (HHH & Rikishi vs. Angle & Kane, and it was clear HHH was the star of that show). When Hart was on top, there was never a period he could draw more than half of what HHH was drawing on his own at his peak, for a regular house show.

>mfw Bret drew no money as champion and was embarrassing on the mic
You missed out the best one
>Hart was never a big ratings guy. HHH's best run in Canada blows away Hart's best run in Canada for live gates.

Meltzer knows where his bread is buttered.
You cant compare the HHH and Bret draw, totally different eras, its like asking who's higher on the mountain, the guy climbing the mountain from the bottom alone or the guy sliding down from the top who's buddies carried him to the summit.
Bret was coming off the back of the worst drawers in WWF history whereas HHH was coming after the greatest draws, in a time where there was literally NO competition for wrestling audience.

>drew no money
But that's Diesel and Shawn Michaels.

All three of them didn't draw because the company as a whole didn't draw shit during that time. Conversely, everyone who was on top from 1998-2001 drew. It's almost as if the top guys draw money when the company as a whole is hot and they don't when it's not. But Meltzer still uses outdated territories logic to determine who is and isn't a draw.
Too bad HHH is still a shit wrestler and has no promo skills. Top draw? Nigga was riding the Austin/Rock gates. Technically the short lived Foley run has that rank
You are aware Meltz is under WWE contract with small freelance jobs so...... The HHH dick sucking has just begun
By your facts HHH also drew better then Shawn. Are you saying HHH is better then Shawn. There is not enough Iron Sheik cocaine in the world to make that a reality.
Bret is better then both of them anyhow. He didn't have to marry Stephanie or fuck Vince to get over
