Perhaps some extra perspective on Noid's quotes

The last boom period was 1998-2001 (roughly)

HBK's last match was in March of 1998 when he passed the torch to Austin and wasn't seen again in a major role until his full time return against HHH (can't remember the year, want to say 2002 or 04)

The 3 year period where Michaels was missing created some pretty major stars:

HHH
Mankind
The Rock
Austin (more continuing the building)

and on the WCW side of things:

Goldberg

Well basically just Goldberg on WCW as they sucked at making new stars, but that's another matter

Because the business was so hot in the boom period, you could make someone the most over guy on the show within a few weeks of pushing them, wrestling was everywhere and for a 2 year period, there's nowhere you could go without seeing Goldberg being pushed as WCW poster child.

Shawn was never pushed in the same way to the public during his run, because business was so down in 94/95 and also because they didn't have the marketing skills they got towards the end of the millennium.

So, in conclusion, more people could potentially know about Goldberg over Shawn Michaels, because Shawn missing the businesses hottest period and was no where near the main event for the previous boom. Goldberg got lucky with his exposure and thus, I can see where Noid is coming from.

You know, maybe sometimes people should stop trying to attack Noid and just see a different perspective on what he's saying, it's not a situation where anything he posts is totally dis-regarded, just lighten up people!
