5 lowest drawing WWE Champions of all time

Though he was the Excellence of Execution, Bret Hart struggled to draw a crowd after winning the WWF title from Ric Flair.

#1: Diesel

Diesel held the title for nearly a whole year.

Kevin Nash has had a lot of names in wrestling. Diesel. Oz. Big Daddy Cool. But one name that he doesn't want to be associated with him is as the worst drawing WWE Champion of all time.

Winning the title from Bob Backlund at a live event in late 1994, the company certainly pushed Diesel as a star, with the seven-footer holding the gold for nearly an entire year.

Despite high profile feuds, the WWF saw a steep decline in viewers as Big Daddy Cool became another victim of the mid-90s slump.

Losing the title in late 1995, Diesel would never again hold gold in WWE, as after a WrestleMania loss to The Undertaker, would jump ship to WCW.

There, Nash would have much greater success, becoming a multiple-time WCW World Champion, as well as ushering in one of wrestling's most iconic factions: the nWo.
