Bret probably drew 6 dimes in his career compared to shawn's 4.

>merch sales
bret

Bret.
They both had one top tier promo in their careers. ("This is Bullshit" and "Who's your daddy, Montreal"). I'm gonna give the edge to Bret because he also had that great promo with the metal plate strapped to his abdomen.

both great. Shawn was better tho IMO

>Bret probably drew 6 dimes

Never happened, even it was true Shawn was the reason he drew half those dimes. Shawns' 2nd run alone drew more dimes than Brets' entire career.
>>
>>2591295
In actuality, Shawn is the reason Bret drew a freaking dime at all.
>>

Bret is acknowledged as top 5 by just as many. Its mostly underage babbies who think shawn is better because they never saw bret in his prime.
>>
>>2591347
Bret was definitely a better technical wrestler.
>>
>>2591317
>It's about hotness at peak

Shawn's peak wasn't in the 90s it was in the 00s, same for a guy like the Undertaker. Shawn's peak was greater than Bret.
>>
>>2591376
>He wasn't even top guy during his peak

And you must retarded if you think HBK couldn't have won the top belt more, he came back to put guys over and have classic matches not hold belts.

>>
>>2591409
You're underage mate, if there's a brand split the top on Raw is ALWAYS the top belt of the company, from back then with the WHC to the mid 00s with spinner belt to now with the Universal Belt.

And HBK was a top guy during his 2nd run, he main evented multiple Wrestle Manias, was always in the title picture (besides the years DX came back) and held the top belt.
>>
>>2591409
>Waiting on that proof he was an important draw

Main Eventing 4 Wrestlemanias in 7 years (2003-10) isn't proof?
>>
>>2591443
18+
The way you're booked is based on if you're a draw, they don't just throw anybody in the main event of the biggest show of the year if they're not a draw.

Especially back then when the WWE Network didn't exist and the PPV buyrates mattered to Vince.

>>
>>2591502
>Neither were particularly charismatic, though.

Really? Charisma is one of the first things that come to mind when I think about Shawn
>>
>>2591476
Like I said Vince can get away with having sub-par draws in the Main Event of Mania these days because of the Network, fans are paying $10 for it if not watching it for free, PPVs isn't how the WWE makes the most profit anymore (the Network itself is) like it was when HBK was Main Eventing Manias.

WresleMania was $60 show and back then the goal was to get the most PPV buyrates as possible, you don't put a guy who isn't a draw to Main Event a $60 PPV but you do for a PPV that's basically for free like the ones now.

Build and opponent.
Kane dicked around in the midcard as WWE built Marky Mark up as a huge entity.
Meltz is a mark himself who factors in reaction and build to a match's rating.
Of course a guy given 30 minutes to headline with HBGay and a year+ story is gonna have better snowflake-ratings.
>>
>>2592942
His 5 star match wasn't the WM 25 one, it was his match against HBK in '97, unless you are talking about that one
>>
>>2592942
The 5 star match was with hbk was back in 97 not the match. Even though both their WM matches were way better.

Also Kane had a role in that 5 star match.

Oh my bad, get those HBK ones mixed up a lot.
That one too was a really unique circumstance with a great build, first ever HiAC, right? That's obviously gonna factor in massively.
Point is Taker has always received the much more generous side of booking which attributes his ratings very visibly.
I'm not saying Kane's better (probably in his prime but his prime was fleeting whereas Taker matured well), but overall, when you consider how dog-shit awful Taker was for the first like, half of his career, it gets a little more contentious.

Nah, Wolfcuc proved Eddie Guerrero is the worst drawing WWE champ of all time. No chance Hall drew more than Nash. Hall never headlined PPV that drew more than Starrcade 98 or Bad Blood 03 and Nash was bigger TV ratings draw than Goldberg & McMahon in 98 according to Meltzer newsletter back issue in Jan 99. As far as merch goes yes they had their own merch. Everything from toys, keyrings, lunchboxes, bed sheet, etc. you name it but WCW didn't have capability to pay talent based on merch sales hence why they offered guaranteed contracts. WCW Worldwide websites shows all wacky WCW they use to sell & even has WCW catalog.
