I didn't argue he was a significantly bigger draw. The whole discussion literally started with me acknowledging that Batista wasn't a huge draw but he was bigger than Benoit. Arguing the storyline is subjective, too. The fact is Benoit made Triple H and HBK tap clean over the span of a month on PPV. After winning the rumble from the #1 spot. That's not exactly making a guy an afterthought. He was booked strong as fuck.

As for Smackdown ratings, I don't see what that has to do with the discussion. Ratings probably slipped on Smackdown because they went from Cena to Batista. And Cena was a bigger draw/had more appeal than Batista. Again, I never argued that Batista was a huge draw.
