The biggest false WWE narrative is that Austin was the biggest draw of all time when it was clearly Hogan.

Remember when Austin and Hogan were booked as the two top guys during a wrestling war and Austin's side won?

Austin had a higher peak but Hulkster had more longevity and was more influential and probably drew more dimes

Wrestling drew in a lot less money during the '80s than it did in the Attitude Era. Not as much as now, but it was still less. 'Mania III was one of only two WWF PPVs in 1987. By the time the Austin Era broke out in earnest, there were twelve a year, and adjusted for inflation, they all cost as much to buy as 'Mania III:

I'm certain ticket prices were higher in the Austin Era, too.

Hogan's politicking fucked over WCW.
Austin's politicking helped protect the WWF from shitters like Jeff Jarrett having a sniff of the main event.

In gross terms, maybe. But wrestling was most profittable in the '80s in net terms. Maybe even compared to today. And I am not talking about only WWF, but the whole wrestling scene (territories, et. al)

WM X7 was the first Mania to get over a million PPV buys. The first nine Manias involving the Cuckster never drew that much!
