IIRC, Meltzer or Keller "reported" the 23 buyrate went over projection and was an outlier (adjusted for it being WM of course) for that year that you almost have no choice but to give Trump credit for the increase in buys.

Look, Austin Austin Austin and all, but DX was just as much a part of kickstarting the Attitude Era, and with Bret gone there was NOBODY else Austin could have gone over at WM 14 that would have mattered (Rock wasn't there yet). WM23, Trump and Vince are a big part, sure, but ultimately the main even of the show was HBK/Cena... and while Trump brought in some non-wrestling fans, I guess, the wrestling fans were a lot more worried about the Main. He also carried 25 and 26, and while you can argue that 26 did disappointing numbers... it was pretty much a two-match show, and they were both rematches; that's on WWE, not on Shawn. <br /><br /><br />Obviously, he's not a Hogan/Austin/Rock draw, but I'd still rank him above a HHH/Bret/Eddie/Punk draw. He's about half a tier below Cena, probably.LawrenceTalbotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-24337091804153395332013-11-12T00:25:29.669-07:002013-11-12T00:25:29.669-07:00I just got a case of deja vu.
