My point about Star Trek and That 70's Show was those were the first two places Rock made guest spots.
What I was going for in my argument was that Bret Hart's ten second spot on The Simpsons does literally nothing to measure his worth to the industry. Him appearing on there didn't bring one extra fan in or do anything other than give fans of both Simpsons and wrestling a chance to go "Oh hey, that was cool." I'm with you 100% that the only three names in wrestling history who have ANY value in main stream media are Rock, Austin and Hogan (MAYBE make possible exception for Andre The Giant). Hell, even Ric Flair's name means jack shit outside the ring. Flair, Hart, Michaels, Hunter, none of their names mean anything when you attach them to something other than a wrestling match. So why point out (and I know it wasn't you KK who did this originally) that Bret Hart was on The Simpsons as any kind of indication that his appearance on the show makes me better than Michaels?
It's like someone saying Terry Bradshaw is the best quarterback because he's one of the most recognizable faces in and outside of the grid iron. Is Bradshaw great? Hell yes. Does his name deserve to be mentioned and argued over if he is the best or not? Absolutely. But it's not because he's had more appearances in other mediums other than football.
