Oh and Hart was such a bad draw that they put the belt back on him 4 more times.

I'm not telling Rob anything he didn't know.
Bret was pushed as the Anti-Hogan in many regards. He wasn't huge. He wasn't smoke and mirrors. He wasn't over the top with his promos. He was perhaps one of the best technical wrestlers in the business at his time. I'd say that first reign was great because he defended the title all the time, something Hogan seemed to never do (Seemed like he wrestled 4 times a year when he had the belt, and half of them were Survivor Series or Tag Matches.) He did good business because he was a fighting Champion, a simple-yet-effective booking technique. As a side note, we need more simple-yet-effective booking techniques in wrestling now.
Don't Forget, He was such a bad draw, they put him on last at a Summerslam, over Savage-Warrior for the WWF Title.
