Even Hart and HBK. They were popular less so because they were such good wrestlers and more because they were both excellent story tellers. Both were so capable of investing you in their matches and making you care. They lacked the star power, but they had the story and the emotion.
It’s the same logic that tells you why Sami Zayn is the most talked about guy in wrestling right now and that fan interest peaked in AEW when they smelled a genuine story with emotion and heat brewing.
Only the same 700-800k care about Elite vs Death Truangle for the 10th time.
