More so in the days before the Internet, where physical media was the end all be all. It doesn't matter what imaginary categories you make up to quantify something; longevity and cash generated is what helps something to be remembered most. I understand your argument and your point of view is solid and hard to sway. However if tomorrow a bomb or similar disaster were to occur that wiped out a large amount of humanity the Internet etc, there's a much less chance of quality winning out over quantity.John Edwardsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-6759577634396742092015-05-24T10:48:48.861-06:002015-05-24T10:48:48.861-06:00The best thing TNA did is take WWE retreads and in...The best thing TNA did is take WWE retreads and indy guys they didn't see any value in and gave them a job when WWE didn't want them for whatever reason.
