Honestly, the best/most successful wrestling promoter of all time. Anything short of that is just smarks being smarks Most successful perhaps, but "best" is somewhat debatable and would depend on how you define it. He sold a lot of tickets, but that's like saying Come On Over by Shania Twain or the soundtrack to The Bodyguard are two of the "best" albums ever made because they sold a lot of copies. They patently aren't. And you are a smark too.
Promoter implies he sold the most tickets... Cause you know he PROMOTED it...

The Bodyguard soundtrack is one of the greatest albums of all time
How is the bodyguard not a good album.
Like musically Whitney went all in with 4 all time songs.
Fight me with that bs. Because the bodyguard is the greatest movie soundtrack of all time

Promoter implies he sold the most tickets... Cause you know he PROMOTED it... But it's so much more complicated than that. He's the most famous, he's had more longevity than others, but is he creatively the best? No, a lot of his success came from using other people's talent and ideas and passing them off as his own. Has he promoted the best shows? No, WWF/E has been bad more than it's been good over the past 35 years. Has he raised the profile of wrestling? Yes and no, because while he was instrumental in the boom periods in the eighties and the late nineties, after his purchase of WCW the audience decreased significantly and continues to do so with WWE running unopposed. One could even argue that a lot (but not all) of the huge WWE attendances came in an era when he was running unopposed.
So it's not "smarks being smarks", his legacy is a complex one and it's not as straightforward as saying he was undoubtedly "the best" and anyone who disagrees is just being contrarian. Because that's just not true.
