You're talking like I'm saying that The Great Khali will go down as a better wrestler than Eddie Guerrero.
If Khali is a bigger draw than Eddie, isn't that EXACTLY what you're saying? The whole discussion is that you made it a point to say that the best wrestler IS the one who draws the most. That's it. How would that not be accurate?

I didn't mention anyone's legacy. In fact I specifically said that by your definition, it would mean that Punk BECAME a better wrestler. As in it was based on that time period. The better draw was the better wrestler. If you're gonna base it on who is the better draw, it's gonna fluctuate. There isn't any consistency.

"The best 'true wrestler' is the guy that pulls in the highest ratings."

Does that not say better draw = better wrestler? You're more than welcome to clarify but that seems pretty clear as day. lol
