WWE sells a decent amount of merchandise and if somebody is number 2 on that list, second to only Stone Cold Steve Austin (aka the biggest draw in wrestling history).. I'd say he's a draw.

Technically just about all wrestlers are draws. Maybe when RVD, Cena, Kane, etc wrestle the ratings don't go up 2 points. But get rid of RVD, Cena, Kane, etc... and I bet the ratings will drop.
Shopzone data is worked. And even if its accurate, selling t-shirts is far less valuable than drawing people to arenas and PPVs.

I get QH breakdowns from every RAW and SD. There are guys who have an impact on the QH's they appear (like Vince for example). So you could say Vince is a TV ratings draw. Cena has yet to reach that level.

As for taking guys away, guys leave all the time and it has varying effects. I wouldn't say that Kane, Cena or RVD are over enough that if they let ratings would go down. Their QH's show no major growth so why would them leaving have an impact the other way?
