[The CyNick]

Really demonstrates how far the reach is of WWE around the world.

50M plus is an incredible number.

[Bad News Gertner]

Been saying this forever: Battle Royal = ratings

[#1-norm-fan]

WWE getting DUMMIED on Youtube views and subs by Pewdiepie. The Youtube war has not been kind to them.

[Evil Vito]

I'm not too surprised at #1. A 40+ man battle royal is a very rare spectacle.

[Maluco]

If I'm not wrong, there are very few clips available on YouTube, so this does the actually mean that much.

The majority of big matches/moments are not on there.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

As they shouldn't be lol

[road doggy dogg]

If the Evolution Titantron video is eligible, I am responsible for at least 4,000 views of that alone. PUT IT ON THE LIST

WWE has loads of videos, thousands actually. These are from WWE's page. They add like 10 videos a day to their YouTube page. People had to actually search out these random-ass matches (India is probably to blame for Khali).

[road doggy dogg]

Cena was over af in that 17v2 match

[Sixx]

wow, khali made the list twice

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Gotta call bullshit. No Pipe Bomb?

[Lock Jaw]

Did you really need to quote it?

Also, not really able to call BS on cold hard facts......

[Sixx]

Did you really need to quote it?


that's what i was thinking. not only is it the original post, it's 10 goddamn videos.

[Mr. Nerfect]

wow, khali made the list twice

There are a lot of people in India.

Did not realise that, was a while ago that I saw the list and it mentioned something about the lack of videos. Interesting that many of these have last such a long time in top 10.

I guess India explains Khali! That and the fact that people just love giants in general lol.

Can still remember as a kid being stunned at Giant Gonzalez, looking back now, I cringe!

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol no fucking kidding

[Bad News Gertner]

CM Punk sucks. That's why.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Khali being a spectacle would also have something to do with it. I'm not sure how he would do as a compelling draw in 2017, but when you see this giant dude in Get Smart and find out he's a wrestler, your interest has to be piqued.

[Mr. Nerfect]

CM Punk sucks. That's why.

When you take off "wrestling fan goggles" and give everybody the same blank slate, yeah, he kind of does. He's eloquent on the mic, but he's this tiny dude without much of a physique. I'm not even sure if being eloquent on the mic is something a potential fan would be looking for. It's debatable Punk had anything for mainstream audiences.

In some ways, he reminds me of a less-crisp X-Pac. There's a Better Wrestler for you.

You could describe Bryan the exact same way. Except Bryan was less eloquent on the mic.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Bryan was crisp af though

[#1-norm-fan]

Which matters WAY less to a potential fan than mic work.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

tru. I just felt it fair to say

[Bad News Gertner]

X Pac > CM Punk. X Pac actually got heat as a heel.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

X Pac was dope until around 2000. Like actually top notch. Just got stale unfortunately.

[Destor]

A list like this is meaningless really since a single person could (in theory) account for all the views. If this were 55mil unique views that would be something. For all we know some twat rubs one out to these every night before bed.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That twat is me :(

[Mr. Nerfect]

Which matters WAY less to a potential fan than mic work.

Hmm, I dunno. Bryan had an energy that made his shit look *real*. Punk never had that. He pretended it was real, but it didn't come off as crisp. Bryan had a bit more credibility. His mic skills also weren't shocking. He developed a reputability and sincerity on the mic. I think people would rather hear a ranting Ultimate Warrior promo than a twenty-minute Triple H monologue. When you say "mic skills," it's quite a broad spectrum. People want charisma and credibility on the mic, I'll agree -- but I don't necessarily think they enjoy guys who enunciate clearly just for that very reason.

That being said, I do think Punk was a charismatic speaker. Ultimately Bryan was just better though.

[#1-norm-fan]

Bryan was never anywhere near as natural on the mic as Punk. At his peak he was still pretty awkward. Also, a potential fan knows it's not real. They want an entertainer. They don't care who "makes it look real" more. Punk was not that far behind Bryan in making his wrestling look real. He was MILES ahead of Bryan as an entertainer though.

Bottom line: If you think one of them "sucks", it's tough to make the argument that the other one sucks much less.

Personally, I liked both. But realistically, neither should have been more than a supporting act to the legit stars.

And yet Bryan became a Grand Slam Champion in like 3 1/2 or 4 years, and will be a first ballot HoF'er. Punk will also be a first ballot HoF guy, but I feel he's got a pretty significant edge in quality of title reigns, which may or may not be completely fair given that Bryan had to vacate the WWE and IC belts before he could ever really have a chance to shine with either if them, however in their own ways, both were fun to watch.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol a first ballot hall of famer. It's a fake hall of fame and nobody votes, you doorknob.

[Ruien]

Vince does!

You have just been STD corrected!

[Bad News Gertner]

lol a first ballot hall of famer. It's a fake hall of fame and nobody votes, you doorknob.

Hillbilly Jim is off the ballot if he doesn't get in this year

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hopefully that cajoles the members of the WWEWAA into giving him their vote. It'd be a shame for him to be ineligible.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wait... Hillbilly Jim isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame? How is that even possible???

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He's part of the steroid era. Backlash from the journalist association.

[Bad News Gertner]

He didn't really have a high batting average either

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

did you see his WAR though? Actually that was pretty shit too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't think I completely agree with this. Yes, people want to be entertained, but I don't think eloquence on the mic necessarily does it. Yes, Bryan is more awkward, but that has charms. I'm not trying to say that Punk was not good on the mic, but I don't think the sort of good he was is exactly a draw to anyone not already into wrestling. Bryan created an aura (or, indeed, a movement around him). That being said, I don't think he was a huge draw, but I think there are differences between the two, just like there are differences between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.

Retroactively, I think Punk's stuff is immensely overrated, Bryan's far less so.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why is Jinder Mahal's title win not up there? Isn't he supposed to be some sort of Indian YouTube draw?

[James Steele]

He's no The Great Khali.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah, Hinder really needs to develop a speech impediment/thick Indian language accent with incoherent rambling if he wants to reach Khaki levels of greatness. :shifty:

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd rather take Khali than Mahal. At least there is some spectacle with Khali. God, I cannot believe I am saying that.
