I didn't bring up Ric Flair's big shows, because I'm not arguing against Ric Flair being a draw, of course he is. The point I'm making is if Ric Flair is a draw while bringing 2-5k people to hundreds of house shows in buildings that could hold 10k, you can't use an argument that Shawn Michaels isn't a draw for not selling out house shows either.
What makes him a "draw" was the millions of people watching the TV show, hundreds of thousands buying the PPV's, and bringing thousands of people to a building to watch a niche thing like rasslin. Just because he wasn't as big of a draw as others, doesn't make him not a draw.
The term draw means to draw somebody into to something, if somebody draws millions of people to watch a TV show, they drew millions of people, even if they didn't draw as much as other people, they still drew a lot of people. It's pretty easy to understand my guy.
Just because a guy isn't as big as Hogan, Austin, Flair, Rock, etc, doesn't mean they weren't big, they just weren't as big.
and I don't even like Shawn Michaels, you can see my post history on this forum, never been a fan of the guy, but no shot can I argue against the guy drawing a lot of people to watch the shows he was on, even if other people drew more.
