Bad Blood 2003 – 385,000 buys
HHH v Nash HIAC
Bad Blood 2004 – 290,000 Buys
HHH v Shawn HIAC

Looks like we know who the real draw is

To be fair, Chris Benoit wasn't a draw as World Champion in addition to people getting tired of Shawn vs HHH yet again. Just goes to show how shit WWE really was beginning to be after WrestleMania 20.

Their feud wasn't really active in 2003 with Michaels feuding with Jericho and the other members of Evolution instead. But yeah it's ridiculous how long HBK vs. HHH/Evolution lasted.

Eddie Guerrero: 3.1421
John Bradshaw Layfield: 3.2375

And keep in mind JBL had:
- First Presidential Debate (Sept 30)
- Thanksgiving (Nov 25)
- Christmas In Iraq (Dec 23)
dragging his average down while Eddie got to coast off Lesnar's reign/Wrestlemania season for his first month.

You're pretty pathetic that you make up all those excuses for JBL and take away any credit from Eddie but ignore how JBL got to work with a rising Cena who saved his tanking ratings in 2005.

Correct. And once again Lesnar gets Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Smackdowns hurting his average but he still absolutely moggs Deadie.

Smarks hated anyone who didn't come from Japan/the indies and wasn't a former WCW guy. Regular fans started tuning in again when Cena won the title, particularly on Raw where Triple H drove everyone away with his god-awful Evolution gimmick.

Note that the drop-off really happens when absolutely everyone leaves or gets injured (Angle out, Big Show out, Lesnar gone) and Smackdown becomes a massively face-heavy show where well-established stars wrestle literal whos fresh from OVW in every PPV match.

Smackdown also lost Benoit after the rumble, after spending months building him up
They were totally gutted of talent which is why jobber JBL was given a push in the first place

Was especially fucking dumb because HBK went over HHH twice (2wice) in that entire time and that was in his first two matches back. For the next 2 years HHH just kicked the shit out of him and won every time even though HBK was the fucking babyface.
