Flair might have gotten Bret on some points but dammit, the HBK/HHH/Vince asslickin' is way off the mark. Maybe because HBK was sort of the "heir apparent" to Flair? As someone mentioned, HBK, Diesel, Bret? They drew about the same, with Diesel at the low end, HBK at the high end, Bret somewhere in the middle. To hardcore wrestling fans, HBK and Bret were the reasons to tune in to the WWF...but they weren't as big and memorable as Hogan, Austin, Rock...even Flair himself. HBK and Bret were counterparts...torchbearers for what was about to come...the rise of Austin and Attitude.

I'm pretty positive Bret drew better than HBK, especially when you take in to consideration how Bret drew outside of the U.S. Maybe Rob can give some inside on this?
