Taker-Austin did big business in 98, but that was before the Ministry stuff.
They did do some really strong TV numbers in 99, and I think the highest rated match on RAW for a time (or maybe it still is) was the show where Austin took the title from Taker in one of the Carolinas I believe.
But that feud itself though didn't draw a ton of money, mainly because by that point Austin-Taker was a played out feud. Yeah they still did some strong numbers because business was hot, but everything was doing well at that point, they didn't really improve business any.
