This is really poorly paraphrased, I'd imagine, but the point still stands how important is the mathematical side of this? I'll admit, while I get that it's intended to mimic a sports standings platform, the "who has time to follow this stuff" rule certainly applies. I didn't actually look at the BFG series numbers until probably the last week or two. I just didn't care. It didn't matter that much. Especially with points being earned or lost at house shows.
Frankly, Jericho may have it right. Or at least more right than the mathematical set up the series functions on right now. It makes sense, in a way, but it's also limited in two big factors. The first, as I already mentioned, is the care factor. Does anyone here sit around calculating percentages of what it will take for X performer to get in, or determine what the likely minimum cut-off will/would be for the final four? I sure as shit don't. The second, and the most important, is that it also limits the number of competitors that can in fact compete in this ever year. A round robin format where you win and you're in/advance is not only simpler, but allows for you to expand much broad across nearly the entire company from the start.
The BFG series is one of the better concepts TNA has come up with, but I'm not sure they've got it nailed down just yet. In that respect, Jericho is right. I wont' turn it off for Seinfeld though that much I know.
Thoughts?
I dont watch the show but the Bound for Glory and hes got eighteen points and hes got fifteen points and its a twelve week tournament and its like who has time to follow this stuff. When I watch wrestling, I dont want to think. I just want to enjoy it, I dont want to do mathematical equations and figure it out. If there is a Round Robin and here are your brackets and I get it. But if you win, if you get disqualified, if you get five points or twelve points, I dont get it. Ill just put on Seinfeld instead.
