>>12025276The biggest draw ever was 1930s wrestler Jim Londos. Taking into account peak and longevity, Londos and Hogan are the 'big two' in terms of historic drawing cards. At their peak, Austin and Rock were as big.
The next tier would be Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thesz, Ric Flair, Andre the Giant and Argentina Rocca.
Sting wouldn't be on a list of the top 250 draws in US pro-wrestling. He drew crowds of 1-2k as WCW champ. There are literally dozens of regional champs that vastly outperformed those numbers. By comparision, Buddy Rose drew 3000 weekly in Portland as the top star in a minor territory.
