Big stars that didn't draw

Bret Hart, although I'm sure half the forum will get their panties in a knot defended this although it's true.

You mean because it isn't?

His international fame is proof positive that he was a draw

That's like David Hasslehoff saying he's big in Germany. If it doesn't happen in the U.S than it doesn't matter.

That's idiotic.

Regardless Bret drew in the US too. Business was down period and as has been previously stated Bret/HBK/Taker were what kept WWF alive.

Uhh, i'd beg to differ. Bret Hart was one, probably the biggest name to get a lot of my friends and me interested in the WWF and turn us in to fans. The one house show i've gone to in India was only because it had the Hitman as an assured attraction. As i was entering the stadium that night, i still remember most of the crowd sporting Bret Hart merch or bootlegged versions of his sunglasses - he drew in most of the Indian crowd.

And having read around, i'm sure it was the same for some of the other countries besides the US & Canada (where of course, he would be a draw)
