#1.) Diesel
To this day, Diesel/Kevin Nash is the lowest-drawing WWE Champion in history. Whether you want to associate it as a knock on him or not is up to you, but there was a whole combination of factors that led to the massive ratings decline. While Nash represented the prototypical “look” that WWE wants in a top star, he was pushed way too fast and he didn’t seem to be ready for the near-year-long World title run.
To add to it, his opponents were more often than not underwhelming and his reign itself was lackluster. It’s no surprise that WWE decided to put the title back on Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1995.
