But are numbers an accurate way to measure the "ranking" of a superstar? I normally side with you on these things, simply because for the most part you are right on the mark. I just can't help but think that numbers don't measure the wrestler, though.

Triple H is easily more credible than JBL, IMO, and in a match between the two, I think marks would take the side of Triple H. Should he doesn't draw better than JBL, but within wrestling circles, he's basically twice the superstar JBL (which is a shame).

Orton, Benoit and Benjamin can go back over to SmackDown! now, and beat JBL for the title credibly without it being a reach. To be honest, I can't even see Jericho doing that. I don't think there is a factual way to measure if Triple H has helped these men, but it is my opinion that people now see them in the same league as Triple H, and that really helps them, especially with the current SmackDown! scene.
