>In 1994, Lanny Poffo was doing some independent shows around the area, and he had said to Triple H that he would be the next Hulk Hogan.
How did he know?

In terms of politicking? Absolutely.
In terms of drawing power and being the guy? Absolutely not.

Blonde steroid guy that looked like the type Lanny could easily fuck. The Hogan line had gotten him lots of tight, muscular asses to fuck. Paul was no exception and Lanny was merciless.

The irony is, of course, that Lanny’s brother had treated Paul’s future wife the same.

Not really. Again, he was doing this full-time and was and was usually in the main event (usually at Wresltemania, which is usually the highest payday) and yet he is only 5 million more than Cena (who wrestled for only half the time - before going part-time) and just over 6 million over the Rock (who only wrestled for five years - before going part-time). Any way you slice it, that is dire, considering how much they pushed and invested in Paul.

Not only in the top 30 - the top 10 is dominated by Austin, Rock, and Hogan (the big 3 of wrestling). Keep in mind that HHH's title reigns began when business was either booming or steady (so not in hard times like Hart, Diesel, or Michaels had to endure) and he isn't even in the top 30. Paul is the guy who works with the actual guy and he only got that because he was friends with Michaels, sat in booking meetings with Vince, and married Stephaine. Paul "drawing" power is just tenure, cronyism, and nepotism.

That chart doesn't make any sense (flawed, meaningless metric to begin with) and randomly omits HHH's first 5 title reigns despite including things like Del Rio lol. Whoever made it just decided to not to include any of Triple H's WWF title reigns for no apparent reason. Apparently they don't count but other random shitters do. It's nothing to do with numbers

Paul's first title reign did so badly, that they had to take it off him and put it on Vince.

it doesnt include any of angle's, mick foley's, or undertaker's 3rd reign either. the maker of the chart only included austin and rock for the attitude era despite putting shitters like jinder mahal and swagger on it for other eras

Well, if you have a chart of your own, I would like to see it. Again, if those numbers were significant (and I think Mick's might have been) then they would probably be in the chart.

Well as this points out - >>11677638 - Paul is not even in the top 30. Weird how he kept getting such high booking and card positions. Guess that's a perk of being married to the business.
