I forgot how small dbry is until I saw that

>>2592768

AJ has been outselling Roman so far in 2017

>>2592773
lol

not in defense of Roman, cause he sucks too, but investing all that time and energy into Bryan for WM 30 sure was worth it wasn't it? He had a one month title reign, pseudo comeback and then had to retire so he didn't go Benoit.

and didn't draw a single dime along the way or leave any long lasting effect on wrestling except a cancerous chant.

>>2592773
Nonsense

>>2592780
>Dbry didn't draw dimes.

I'm sure all that Dbry merch in the crowds was free?

>>2592784
Didn't Punk continue to outsell Bryan in early 2014 despite not even being in the company?

>>2592793
Outselling is such a meme on this site. The implication of outselling still means that he's selling merch and if it takes the hottest guy on the scene in wrestling for ages since it zombified to outdraw you you know you're doing something right.

Nobody draws in a meaningful way right now.

Nobody.

WWE gets its money from TV deals and sponsorships right now. There's nobody that moves the needle except guys like Cena, Brock, Goldberg, all of whom are part-timers.

They've successfully gotten themselves a structure where it doesn't fucking matter who's over and who's not, it doesn't matter how they book, they're already making their money, so they don't have to care.

That's why Lesnar can fuck off for months at a time. That's why Payback is a PPV without a world title defense (and a really weak card besides that). That's why Backlash has a jobber getting a title shot.

What the fuck are you smoking? In what world did D-Bry "Not draw a dime." You are clearly talking out your ass

Look at the bar charts.

AJ is ahead slightly internationally and handily ahead in the US market.And he's only just turned face.

Based AJ has exposed Roman as the anti-draw shitter he is. Deal with it.

lol

>>2592811
All part of Vince's plan. Now no single person can become a big star that abandons his kiddy show for Hollywood.

>>2592821
I would say so, yes.

100% guarantee Roman Reigns is never pulling a Rock/Cena/Punk on him.

>>2592821
This is the plan. Make the brand "the face" of the company as weird as that sounds.

its true (and I hate them both)

>>2592768
No, it hasnt.

I try damn hard to look at any kids wearing Roman Merch. It's a heavy minority. Especially with how much more he has compared to everyone else sans maybe AJ

>>2592773
AJ t shirts are the best selling thing on their shop

>>2592773
Nice try Allen

>Bryan is talented
>Romannetty isn't

>>2592768
...into the bin?

>>2593212
they don't release that info

>>2592768
can fedoromans stop with these meme? there is no proof to that, it was just some autistic faggot spamming fake news

>>2593199
I've never seen anyone wearing a Roman Reigns shirt outside of a wrestling event. I can't recall seeing anyone wearing a John Cena shirt either. I still see plenty of Stone Cold shirts.

>>2592825
Yes. People go see the WWE now because it's the WWE. The company itself is the draw. Previously people didn't care about the company so much as the wrestlers appearing. WCW? I thought Hulk Hogan was in that WWF? Oh, well I don't give a shit what they call it as long as I get to see Hogan and Macho Man.

>>2593764

People go and don't see the WWE anymore, that is the main problem of the WWE.

And all those dimwits that always claim, that people hat Roman, but they buy tickets and watch him on tv anyway, should take a look at ticket sales and RAW's rating over the last 2 years.

The guy hasn't become a draw just because he gets a reaction.

>>Daniel Bryan was passionately loved by smarks and therefore got big crowd reactions
>>Nobody else cared so he never drew a dime

Team Hell No most over Tag Team in years.
Crowd annihilates Royal Rumble two years in a row because of Bryan.
Literally had entire arenas chanting in unison with him.
Crowd reaction literally ruined the entire story Vince planned for WM30.
Vince shown to be completely wrong about Bryan.
75,000 people with one of the biggest pops of all time when Batista tapped.

>Never draw a dime.
Anti-smarks seething.

DBry was the last ratings draw that WWE had

>>2593825

They have lost like 2 million viewers since he had to retire, so...

>>2593787
Bryan was the last good underdog story for the main title in the last X years. It felt more "real" than WWE calling Cena and underdog despite overcoming the odds at all times. Because Bryan actually lost quite often.

Funny thing is they also tried making Roman an underdog but literally no one is buying it

>>2593838

But not making Roman an underdog is a bad idea because then you'll get forced upon shit like Finn Balor.

>dbry
the average viewer saw him as the fun little yes troll, nothing more.

>>2593787
I like Bryan but he didn't draw
There's no real evidence for him positively effecting ratings. Meltzer confirmed he didn't move the needle.
>b-but my memes, a-anti-smarks btfo!
How embarrassing for you

>>2594374
Austin, Hogan, Rock, Cena and who else?

>>2594400
It's Leltzer so he probably thinks Flel

>>2594400
that i'm not sure.
maybe just a blanket number.
i wouldn't imagine it's H,
maybe hbk during the abandonment era?
warrior rode on the hogan draw i'd imagine.

>>2594339
>'tard alert

>>2594374
Did you post the wrong image? Because that doesn't support your argument at all.

One of the things about Bryan merchandise sales is that it's confirmed they paid people to wear his shirts and chant for him (e.g., Occupy RAW).

The only thing organic about him is his breakfast the one day of the week he doesn't go to Starbucks.

>>2594406
Taker?

>>2595130
Wait, they paid some actors to get in the ring, and that means the customers were paid to wear the shirts too?

>>2595130
Holy misleading argument.

I'm not going to say he was even close to cena level or fucking even triple H at the time, but don't post that stupid shit ever again.

>>2595138
>Wait, they paid some actors to get in the ring, and that means the customers were paid to wear the shirts too?
It was SOROS!

>>2594400
>Austin, Hogan, Rock, Cena and who else?
Hardys?

Their shit was EVERYWHERE.

>>2592816
That does not convey merch sales thought it does express interest and buzz around particular wrestlers.

>>2592773
Kek, 6 months of a push in the low season and an opening match at WM and he already draws more than Roman after 3 years of push in the high season, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania main events.

>>2593787
Top after mania rating in the last 5 years.
Highest increase in 10.

GOAT

>>2594387
Lol false, Meltzer confirmed he was the second top seller in the company in 2014 and 15, a houseshow draw and the post mania 2014 rating is there to prove you are a liar.

>>2595138
>>2595140
this, your argument was very stupid.
