Yeah not a draw at all - https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2018/07/ricochet-could-be-significantly-helping-nxt-live-show-644288/
āIāve heard people tell me that a lot of the shows are drawing a lot better because of Ricochet. Even though Ricochetās not even on the shows, theyāre drawing better. Thatās kinda like the feeling."
An extract from the Dave quote on a wrestling internet site with zero credibility that doesnāt even support your point given the fact it explicitly states it is ākinda like the feelingā. The bar for what counts as empirical facts is apparently even lower than the bar for what constitutes a draw.
You said he couldnāt draw in a million years but thereās some evidence he was selling significant tickets in NXT.
Iām not saying he was a big draw but his past in NXT and elsewhere was proof he had the potential. But now WWE is completely wasting it by making him a superhero and losing to Riddick Moss.
The guy will be a star somewhere
Remember when Taz or Tazz debuted? He got a huge hometown pop when he came out, then proceeded to beat Kurt Angle. He was in line for a huge push. Then Vince saw him, thought he was too short, and that was that. Point is, you can be a draw. You can be a top guy everywhere else in the world. But the WWE doesnāt know what to do with talent that isnāt 6ā3", 280 lbs, long wet haired, tanned and ripped, talk uh with uh a uh snarl uh guys. Even john Cena was almost firedā¦

Given we clearly have different definitions of star weāll need to agree to disagree which is fine.
