To be fair, you could say the same about the 90s boom. Sure, Austin, Rock, Goldberg, Foley, and maybe Chyna got mainstream recognition, but it's not like anyone outside of the fanbase knew about Undertaker, Kane, DX, The Hardy Boyz, Edge and Christian, The Dudley Boyz, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Kevin Nash, Rey Mysterio, Ric Flair, DDP, or any of the other top stars of that era.
