If you can only build up 2 guys to that level, then yeah. See Hogan and Savage/Warriors brief runs in the late 80's/early 90's. Or you can build up more than just 2 at a time. See Austin/Rock/Taker/HHH in the late 90's. You're not limited to 1 or 2 at a time.

And again, they aren't gonna get any more out of it. The merchandise and shit is all based on him NOT winning the title in fact.

"Getting what you can out of it" = Making him your champion is such a narrow, simplistic way to look at it.

He'll win the title at WrestleMania and he pretty much has to. It's not because Bryan as champion is gonna be a huge cash cow and milk more out of the "Yes movement" or anything though. It's because they've booked themselves into a spot where he's gotten screwed out of it most of the year and the two guys who were in the main event spot, one's a heel and the other didn't get nearly the adoration they were expecting when he returned and they had to turn him heel too. And the only other available face to put in the match to fix the situation so smarks didn't shit all over a Batista-Orton main event walked out of the company.
