    I'm not sure how anybody expects any wrestler to be a 'draw' anymore. The term, as it applies to wresting, is obsolete.

    Back when the brand of a promotion was about as heavily marketed as a boxing promotion, and the wrestlers were considered the product, individual wrestlers were the draw. Now they're just the cast, and the promotion itself is the draw.

    Put it this way; if you polled the proverbial man on the street, he might be able to name 3 or 4 professional boxers, and probably not a single promotion (they might say the name of a promoter [generally Don King], but not the name of their company). Poll the same people about wrestling, they will be able to name MAYBE one active wrestler (Cena, MAYBE), but they'll name WWE off the top of their head, have probably heard of TNA, and might even have a friend who's an RoH fan.

      Don't even get me started on the Nexus deal...hottest angle in a long ass time when it kicked off last summer. Within weeks, they were simply jobbers. :turrible:
      lets face it they were pretty much jobbers to start

        CMLL right now on Galavision has a hot 6-man that got rave reviews involving La Sombra, Averno, and Liger, among others.

          I'm probably spoiled by ROH on HDNet, but their production now is awful. Everything is so damn dark.

            Why in the hell didn't they put on Lethal/Generico in their first episode over the tag team matches? That match was awesome.

              Cody Rhodes debuted the classic IC belt tonight.

              It's EASILY the most visually appealing belt in the company now.

                    :rolling:

                    What a hilarious end to the PPV. I lost it when Morrison was trying to climb the cage.

                    WAR Awesome Truth!

                      The old IC belt pwns so it's awesome they brought it back, especially the white-backed one.

                      I'll have to check out footage of the post-match beatdown. Ridiculous two week Cena reign or whatever it was, see no point in the switch. Why not just have ADR keep the belt at the last PPV and build towards the same HIAC match? Whatever.

                        It was this one with the modern WWE logos. So damn clean.

                          The only belt sexier is the winged eagle WWF championship.

                                If they let them go, that'd be a very good match.
