Name a wrestler who has never drawn a dime but didn't let that stop him from being successful in the wrestling business.

How can you be successful in wrestling if you don’t draw a dime, makes no sense

It would have to be someone who has never even challenged for main title but stayed employed for a long time. Most people were part of at least 1 angle or moment or title run when they weren't totally dimeless. Its probably QT Marshall.

I guess anon means it in the truest sense of wrestlers that have never influenced whether people would pay to see a show or not (or in modern times, cause better ratings) yet has made a good career and always been employed.

HHH, Cena, Reigns. HHH inherited the biggest boom period of all time, killed it. Cena made it worse. Reigns made it even worse than that. There are people posting here who have never been alive for a time where the top star was legitimately over, and not smashed over against the customer's wishes. Two decades of this shit.

Jeff Jarrett until he quit/got let go a couple weeks ago.

Also, Kazarian, Daniels, and some of the OG TNA people.

came to post this. nobody has ever been a bigger self mark. not even hogan. not even warrior. the only difference between hogan and HHH is-YES hogan was/is a self-mark, but it's warranted because he's a huge draw. hhh was never a draw, even though he was pushed to the moon and back.

the miz was the last GREAT heel. granted, that was like 5-10 years ago now, but he was able to draw shoot heat and cut great promos during a time when the business was squeaky clean boring bullshit and was drawing no dimes on its own.

you're out of your fucking mind. Dusty was a massive draw in the late 70s and all through the 80s. you don't know how big he was because you were born a week ago. he put asses in seats. his feuds with tully, flair, wahoo, etc would sell out every building they worked in. him and flair were the first white boys to have a universal hood pass back in the day.

Zoomers overstate the HHH hate, he was always over as a heel. The problem was they turned Stone Cold heel, knowing Rock was going to Hollywood the next night, and they never recovered from that.

zoomers don't even understand how seriously people took pro wrestling before the curtain was fully pulled back and burned to ashes. my mom tells me stories of my great-grandmother sitting 3 feet from the tv and watching territory pro wrestling and absolutely SCREAMING at the tv in german. getting worked into an absolute shoot. nobody has that kind of heat nowadays. true heat is dead.

At wm2000 it was all about the mcmahons
At backlash-kotr it was rock vs McMahon, with hhh as the third wheel
the Jericho program was about Y2J vs Stephanie
After this point he was turned heel by the bookers not the fans, and it flopped since nobody liked him. Ratings & buys tanked after rock lost the belt at no mercy
