Bullshit? Who the fuck knows who Carlos Colon is? Infact, nobody even knows Carilto's second name is Colon. And Bob Orton Jnr wasn't a superstar in this business. Davey Boy Smith was a WWF SUPERSTAR. Not a star like most of the talent but a real superstar which only about 15 people in that company can really name claim to. He pretty much single handedly sold out 80,000 seats for the biggest LEGIT attendance record in WWF/E history (and don't even mention Wrestlemania 3 because it didn't do 93,000 no matter what shit WWE tells you). He being a babyface got WCW launched in the UK. He being in the WWF during the 90's helped keep the company afloat when they were losing money head over foot. The only place they drew real money was in Europe and who was their biggest draw? Oh the British Fucking Bulldog. Oh and on top of that, Davey Boy Smith only happened to be one of the best in ring talents in the last 15 years as well as arguably the best tag team of all time (or at least top 5 in 95% of people's minds).
But those aren't big shoes to fill at all are they? Just ask David Flair and David Sammartino how easy it is filling a legends boots.
