Ironic, considering how many times Hogan was champion in WCW as a heel.

Hogan actually drew money, unlike Paul who was never over with fans his entire career

I'd say it was the fingerpoke but the reign of terror is up there especially at the time. I think supercena burying a whole generation of potential beats the reign but that hadn't happened yet during his quote

Triple H was one of the biggest stars of 2002-2005. You're living in denial, retard.

Triple H was only a star because he buried everyone and there was nobody left. He tanked attendance figures and was the least over member of Evolution. Everytime he was a focal point ratings tanked. Benoit actually increased ratings when Triple Paul fucked off, it was when Triple Gaytch came back to shit up the main event scene with Benoit that his reign started to decline again in ratings

You are proving Hogan's point. Nobody gave a damn about Pinocchio being champ, so people tuned out.

False. This was calculated by Dave during the 3 month period of Triple H's big return from the 2002 Rumble until March. This was the most over Triple H has ever been during his career, this is the peak of his popularity based on the casuals who actually changed the channel

No he wasn't. Nobody gave a fuck about him in 2000, the only time he had heat was when he was in the McMahon hemsley faction and played third wheel to Stephanie McMahon and Vince McMahon who did all of the talking and recieved all of the heat

Looking at the ratings drop immediately after 2001, I think WCW could have caught back up if they stayed afloat past then. Pjp44

People liked paul in 1998 because he was a comedy midcarder that told jokes and latched onto partners who were more over than him

People tolerated him because he was around other people who were far more over than him. In the back of everyone's mind he was still Hunter Hearst Helmsley, the blueblood.

>>9689071
Yeah, Angle and Jericho should have been the guys to succeed Rock and Austin as the pillars of American pro wrestling for the '00s. Instead we ended up stuck with Trips and Cena, much to the detriment of the industry.

>>9689735
This. DX was mostly carried by the Outlaws.

I honestly believe that if Jericho had gone to TNA with Christian in late 2005, instead of just fucking off with his band for two years, that it would have vastly improved TNA's chances.
