wrestling
seems a lot of the serious wrestling fans come from the 70's - likes of big daddy & giant haystacks- most fans, promotions today seem to prefer the entertainment value, nothing wrong with that but it's how you create & sell it. Andy Kaufman was an entertainer who loved wrestling & fancied his chances agaist @JerryLawler having wrestled women previously, this can still work & wwe has a celeb wing on the HOF but the celebs (other than wrestlemania) have seemed to have dried up.
wrestlers need to be wrestlers or wrestling superstars not just entertainers,
& the great thing with Andy, nobody knew if he was serious or not, if i tweet "what the hell's up with CM Punk?" i guarantee someone will tweet back "it's in the script", it's impossible to hate the heel or be at the edge of the seat in suspense.
As of the 70's i saw several programs - one of thema dating show take me out & a contestants dad was a wrestling fan, which prompted host Paddy McGuinness to ask each hopeful who's looking for a date to ask "do you like wrestling by any chance?" with a laugh from the audience. Apprentice Winner @RickyMartin247 was a pro-wrestler, which got some jokes from Dara O'Brien & @Lord_Sugar with a laugh from the audience. In a country of TNA british bootcamps, Ricky's no longer wrestling prefering to work with Lord Sugar, & there was me thinking he's gonna put british wrestling back on the map by appearing on prime-time reality show, so the only person in UK to respect the sport of wrestling is 2007 Big \brother UK contestant @LukeMarsden,
which brings me to reality tv -
Andy Warhol said everyone will be famous for 15 minutes, it's true as of Big Brother, etc, but i don't think Warhol meant be famous for doing nothing, there's a world of art, a world of poetry, a world of wrestling, yet it's being ignored
& yet the majority of the people in the uk are out of work & the government fail to recognize creativity in the uk, it costs an arm and leg to go see a wwe event, yet when you go to work, the majority of conversation is about saturday's football & not sunday's Wrestlemania/Royal Rumble/King Of The Ring,
& regarding the media, when @JerryLawler had a heart attack on global wrestlinng show Monday Night Raw, the UK press failed to mention it or just have a snippet without any follow-up
musically -
Oasis were inspired by The Beatles who wre inspired by American rock n roll, but nooboy's been inspired by Oasis, nobody's captured the essence of Rock n Roll & Blues , partly i blame X Factor, but you gotta look at @JamesArthur to see it's not entirely their fault, a majority of contestants are young & impressionable & to them it's all about the big names like Britney Spears, Kylie, Robbie & Take That. It's about them fitting into Society. what the people wanna hear, it's not about gut-wrenching passion anymore.
