that logic doesn't work because you're focusing on other wrestlers and not HBK/BRET. Tell me how many HBK or Bret Hart PPV matches around that time lasted 15 minutes? They usually went 30-40 minutes.
They trained and trained and trained (kayfabe and real wise) before the event, so their bodies were stronger and hence they would be able to kick out of more pinfalls and break/hold on with submissions
