It doesn't matter if the champion shows up once every two months. Ehhhhhh it might matter to a certain extent, yeah. But you're right that creative direction matters more. Lesnar could have his current schedule if the stories were more compelling and I didn't feel like I'm watching a half-assed Universal Championship program all the time. I'm going to argue that it doesn't matter to any extent. Conor McGregor defended his title 3 times in one year. He drew like a motherfucker and was universally recognized as the top draw in 2016. At the same time, Mick Foley appeared every week before his title win and single handedly put enough butts in seats to turn around the Monday Night Wars. Then he dropped the title faster than you can say, "Brand-specific pay-per-view". In the Wars, WWF put a premium on making sure the title was making appearances in every show possible. There was build to the title. It mattered. Charismatic workers were telling interesting stories. Conor McGregor and Steve Austin are the opposite of each other in this argument and yet they did the same thing: drew. Does Brock draw? Not that much. WWE is the draw now. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:901151665] in All-Purpos...
