Getting on tv isn't that simple. Very few channels are going to pick up a wrestling promotion when A. wrestling isn't "in" right now, and B. most indy feds are regional.
And once again, one match doesn't make money. First and foremost, people pay in advance to watch. You can say that Hogan vs Andre may have drawn better than Angle vs Benoit, but not that it was a better match. There are other things you have to take into account. For example, wrestlings popularity then as opposed to now, the other matches on the card, etc. If Angle Vs Benoit was on a card, and the rest of the card was nobodies, and WWE was charging 50 bucks to watch it, chances are, it wouldn't draw well. However, if the coach Vs Jim ross was on a card that was totally stacked besides that match, people would probably order the ppv for the other matches. If the latter made more money than the former, does that mean the Coach and Jim Ross are better than Angle and Benoit....
And yes, I know there are people who will order wwe ppv regardless.
