Being a "draw" doesn't necessarily mean you have to do Austin or Hogan type business. There are different levels of success when it comes to drawing. For example, the average shows under Nash's title run in New York was the low point for the company in the modern era, when Bret got the belt business went up. Nobody will ever say Bret was a bigger draw than say Austin, but he was a draw, he was able to put asses in seats, especially when it came to business outside the US.

With Jarrett, he doesn't sell any tickets, and the PPV and TV numbers TNA does are well below expectations, so he's a failure as a draw. Ditto in WCW, he was on top when the company literally couldn't sell 1,000 tickets to Nitro tapings. Those are all facts, not some crap I'm pulling from my ass because I dislike Jarrett (which I dont).

As for Hunter, there's no debating the fact that he was a draw. Did he come up at a good time? Yes, but he was also successful when given the ball. The problem is that he's no longer a draw, and yet he has a tighter grip on the top spot then he did when he actually was a draw. But despite the problems he's causing now, you cant deny what he did in the past.
