The Official Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart Thread

Guesting on Larry King to talk about steroids? Again, not so much. Does that make Bret a better draw? No. Does it indicate a level of popularity and a potential status as a "household name" that the others shows do not carry? Uh...Yeah. Should it be the only measure? No. Does it have an impact? Yes. This thread will now be the target of ToVo's markish reaction.

You're right KK. Well by my estimation The Simpsons is a far bigger and betetr show than That 70's Show, and CERTAINLY more in main stream than Star Trek shows...so does that mean The Rock, for a while anyway, didn't have the star power of a Bret Hart since he never was in the yellow town?

It was a 10 second clip of Burns moving out of his house. They could have put any worker of the time in there, or hell they could have made up a wrestler, which I'm almost positive most fans of The Simpsons who don't watch pro wrestling thought they did anyway.

I'm sorry, my examples weren't on par with the level of The Simpsons, my point was simply that it's fucking retarded to try and measure a wrestler's value based on their appearences on programs other than wrestling. But that's just me, I guess I watch wrestling for wrestlers, not to scope out who might make the next cameo splash.
