Top 50 Draws In WWE History
Have you guys ever seen this list? Dave Meltzer compiled it in 2008 based on wrestlers headlining cards with an attendance of 10K or more. Some people are surprising (especially given the positioning). I imagine that Meltzer might have to update it one day but it's interesting to look at.

Rocca was the biggest star in the territory before Bruno.
Bob Backlund was a HIGHLY under-rated draw. Although a lot of his Main Events at MSG had Andre The Giant on the undercard. |

Yup, he's the 3rd. Bob Backlund sold out a lot of arenas

They kept Sammartino away from Backlund more often than not. Sammartino headlined a ton of Boston Garden shows. Backlund didn't wrestle there very often until Bruno retired. You'd definitely see though Andre against guys like Blackjack Mulligan as the semi-main when Backlund defended the title.

Miguel Jr was part of Los Boricuas. The Conquistadors were Jose Estrada and Jose Luis Rivera.

How do you define draw, just live event ticket sales?
To me it is everything, ratings, PPV buys, etc. Nobody can touch Stone Cold and The Rock there, and Rock only catches up to Austin thanks to his last run. |

I believe Dave 's basis involved how many times they drew more than 10,000 in Main Events. 1 point for 10,000, 2 for 20,000 and 3 for 30,000
