So a vanilla midget(hbk) was the greatest entertainer of all time.
a) That's more of a testament to how amazing HBK was (even though he didn't really draw much as champ so it doesn't really combat what Nash was saying.)

and b) Look at HBK and Punk's bodies. Big difference.

During his prime maybe HBK was bigger, but look at him from his return until he left and he was Punk sized or smaller. Also look at any champ since Austin and Rock were champs and you'll see that they don't really draw either. It's not size that has anything to do with it it's that the belts mean nothing now. People aren't drawn to watch the champion anymore because the champion isn't important anymore.

This.

In today's WWE, the world title belts are merely a way of getting mid card and/or promising wrestlers over as opposed to signifying that they are the face/franchise of the company.

Cena has been without the title for almost a year and he's still generally regarded as the top guy.
