From @wwewhc: How would you get Brock Lesnar's drawing power back to UFC-levels: drawing 1.6 million buys at UFC 100?
That's never going to happen again, at least not on that level. Maybe if WWE didn't bring him back after eight years and have him lose to John Cena then he would have a lot more drawing power. Lesnar should have won every match he had upon his return. Instead they made him look like a loser. Brutal. It's also a case of timing being everything. Lesnar was hot when he went to UFC and the sport was really growing at that time too. The wrestling business is not hot right now. It's not as bad as some people may think, but there are definitely not any signs of immediate growth either. That UFC 100 show was amazing. Arguably the best UFC show ever. It was stacked, so it wasn't just Lesnar that was the draw although he was in the main event beating Frank Mir to retain the UFC Heavyweight Title.
