Most people don't know about what happened in WCW 2000. They'd probably be like "what the fuck is this?" and even scratch their heads at Goldberg.
The crowd is hardly popping for Bret, let alone worked shoots pertaining to something obscure that happened 10 years ago in a defunct promotion.
Sounds to me like Bret gets a decent pop every week. There's plenty of older WWE fans who have remained loyal through the years. I remember back in 2002 when Hulk Hogan came back, on this very board, guys thought most fans would not know who Hogan was, and would just crash and burn, yet wherever Hogan went, he got huge pops because his old fan base stayed right there, and very clearly remembered him.

Give WWE fans some more credit. They're not just mindless newbies. I'd say the majority of them are as knowledgeable about wrestling as any smark. At least as far as former wrestlers and storylines go, and their memories are sharp as ever. And thanks to WWE 24 and YouTube, plenty of kids and teens can get educated on their WWE history if they need to, and they also have the older fans to help them as well.
