@MrLCLM wwe got good ratings under shawn's leadership after WM 12 for a good while, even beating wcw many times. shawn didnt draw because everybody was into the outsider/nwo thing

HBK was a workhorse. During this period he fought everybody. I think he was a pretty good draw considering how few wrestlers the WWF had compared to WCW. HBK really had no legit competition at the time with the exception of Sid and Vader in terms of people who could lead the company and take the title from him. Compare that to WCW when it was just Hogan with the title for what seemed like 5 straight years.

I keep seeing comments that talk about how HBK didn't draw as WWE Champion. The ratings for WWE programing were outstanding compared to the times before he became champion. In 1997 there's a 14:00 RAW promo where HBK mentions that among many other things, Vince McMahon was standing in the same ring and said "that's true" once HBK mentioned how well he drew.

The WWF couldn't have done more to get Michaels over, but they changed his character to be squeaky clean and it didn't work for him. If they had pushed him as a cocky heel-based babyface like they did with Stone Cold a couple of years later, he might have drawn better. Great in-ring performer but for whatever reason, just didn't draw as champion in the mid to late 90s.
