You can't compare 2 era's like that, plus, people forget just how popular it was back then before Cable TV exploded.

They were running 3 shows PER DAY, 300 nights a year. They had to have a roster that size just to put cards on. Plus it was alot easier to get a guy over. Just beat jobbers on TV and you were made 'must see'

When the wars started and PPV matches were given away on TV, everything sped up, no jobbers, and you can't have everyone going over.

So the amount of stars slowed down and it got less popular.
