MOST WRESTLING MAIN EVENTS DRAWING MORE THAN 10,000 FANS IN 2014 !
32 - John Cena
17 - Randy Orton
11 - Seth Rollins
10 - Bray Wyatt, Kane
7 - Daniel Bryan, Batista, Luke Harper, Roman Reigns
5 - Dean Ambrose
4 - Erick Rowan, Big Show
3 - Negro Casas, Ronda Rousey, Cesaro, Ultimo Guerrero, Perro Aguayo Jr.
With so few promotions able to draw 10,000 fans to an event, this marks the seventh time, and the sixth straight year, that John Cena has finished first in this category. His other years as the top draw, based on headlining the most shows that did 10,000 fans, were 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The only wrestlers who have been No. 1 in seven different years in history have been Jim Londos (13), Bruno Sammartino (8), Hulk Hogan (8), Bill Longson (7) and Lou Thesz (7).
Cena was up from most recent years. His 2010 total was 38 shows that drew in excess of 10,000 paid, in 2011 he headlined 33, in 2012 that number was 19 and in 2013 the number was 27.
Cena’s nine years in the top ten tie him with Gene Kiniski, The Sheik, Ray Stevens, and HHH. He still trails Jim Londos and Lou Thesz (who co-hold the record with 21 years as a top ten draw, a longevity record that Cena has almost no chance of ever reaching), Bruno Sammartino, Ed “Strangler” Lewis, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Joe Stecher, Dick the Bruiser, Andre the Giant, Argentina Rocca, Killer Kowalski, Bill Longson, Buddy Rogers, Whipper Billy Watson, Yvon Robert and The Crusher.
Cena would be the all-time 11th biggest drawing card in pro wrestling history, based on total longevity and domination of his era at the top, behind Londos, Sammartino, Thesz, Longson, Hogan, Lewis, Rocca, Flair, Rogers and Stecher.
Orton moves to 34th place on the list. Orton would be the third highest ranker in history not to be in the Hall of Fame, behind only Mistico and Dick Shikat. Batista and Kane also move into the top 50 of all-time after this year.
