For me, I'm not really talking about him (The Stro) specifically.

To say in the grand scheme of things they are nobodies is kind difficult to do. In the grand scheme of things everyone BECOMES a nobody at some point. If you approach the majority of wrestling fans today and mention a name like Sammartino, he instantly becomes a nobody.

If you approach fans who only watched up until the 80's and ask them about Mick Foley - he becomes a nobody. Hell, approach some of the current fans (a lot of whom have just tuned in within the last few months) and they have no idea who Foley is, other than reading / hearing about him and such.

99.9% of the guys from the 60's, 70's, 80's and early-to-mid 90's have already become "nobodies", and during those periods wrestling was BIG. Today's guys won't be remembered much at all (if at all) if things don't change.

Just saying that even the biggest guys of their time go on to be forgotten, so basically, everyone is a nobody (and realistically, outside of wrestling most all workers are nobodies); and that basically saying a guy like Jarrett or Nash should automatically rate above a guy like Vito just because of their backstage status is
