I'll back them up for you.
The WCW hasn't been in business in 5 years. Therefore, you're gonna have a lot of guys who would normally move back and forth from one company to another who are forced to work for WWE or just recently to take the option of moving to TNA. The reason a lot of workers have been with the WWE for more than 5 years these days is because they have nowhere else to go. As for in the 80's, these wrestlers may have only been with the WWE for a few years, but that doesn't mean they weren't already established as wrestlers elsewhere. WWE wasn't necessarily the top dog at the time, so a wrestler who worked for just about any other regional company would be fairly known.
Plus you've also got to take into account that the 80's stars have had the WWE talking about them as "legends" for over 15 years now. Everybody's memory could be a little fuzzy. Who could remember if a wrestler got a response in a match they watched when they were 5 years old?
