>>11594334>Ratings and buys went up with Cena on top. Ratings plummeted when he was taken off top.That's because everyone was buried under Cena's terror reign and there were no stars by design since Cena was the only one pushed as THE top guy. And it's not true ratings went down, during CM Cuck's brief tenure as the top guy ratings actually went up. But the problem is that that was the only exception when someone took Cena's spot and it was just a blip.
>>11596072Michaels actually has credit to that. In 97-98 he is legit the perfect wrestler in all aspects - promos, wrestling, looks, charisma. There's nobody close that ever encompassed the full package in any period of time except Flair. Obviously the GOAT question is stupid since it's always open to preference rather than actual facts, but Cena literally has nothing going for him in the discussion.
