Mate, I say the numbers would have went up. You have no idea how many of my friends stopped watching WWE the minute Benoit lost the title. We all thought we were getting a new era with Benoit and Guerrero on top and within 6 months it was JBL and HHH again. Aside from a few of my friends who asked me if I heard about Eddie's death, we haven't had one wrestling discussion in over a year. There are all "die hard" WWF fans growing up too.
