This is pretty much spot on. I think it's also where a lot of fans these days struggle with how the business is. It's easy to compare Ryback to Goldberg (not saying you are, just in general), but it was a different time and crowd back then. If Goldberg never existed and debuted today, would he get the same reactions? Or would he be where Ryback is right now.
Looking back to how stars were built and how easy they got over back then is different to now.
