The word 'draw' being used as a noun to describe a person is a professional wrestling gift to the entertainment world. Of all the terms on this list, 'draw' is probably the one closest to the original meaning of the word, meaning literally to draw a crowd to a certain place and point in time. In larger context, characters in sports such as the UFC, boxing and even football that entice an audience into paying to see them win or indeed lose has come to be known as a draw. Ronda Rousey is a draw. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are draws. Floyd Mayweather is a draw. Even the term being used in a broader sense to describe events, such as Steven Gerrard's upcoming retirement match for Liverpool can be called a draw. It's a general term used to describe the attraction of ratings and viewers and it's another with pro-wrestling origins.
Betting on being a brilliant brother to Bodhi since 2008 (-1 Asian Handicap). Find me @LiamJJohnson on Twitter where you might find some wonderful pearls of wisdom in a stout cocktail of profanity, football discussion and general musings. Or you might not. Depends how red my eyes are.
