It sure is not. Unless you can show me some mathematic equation that proves this, no Sly, it's an opinion. Nowhere has that been "proven".
It's not proven that fans won't pay for an entertaining show? It hasn't been proven that the more entertaining show will always draw more money over an extended period of time?
Have you already forgotten the Monday Night Wars? Never could you see this principle as clearly as you could then. When WCW was hot, it was the more entertaining show, and so people paid to see it and the WWF almost went out of business. When the momentum switched to the WWF, they were the more entertaining show and WCW DID go out of business.
That most certainly has been proven.
Horseshit, and we've gone over this before. You continue to maintain that all entertainment is solely for the purpose of making money. There's artistry involved in wrestling Sly.
And the artistry is about entertaining fans. And as I've proven many times, fans don't pay for things that aren't entertaining.
But you didn't. You just stated your opinion. That's nice, but it's an opinion. Choose to believe what you want.
Sure I did. I proved it was inferior by showing how it doesn't draw, and I explained why it doesn't draw. What more can I do for you?
People are entertained by different things. Tell me we aren't going to argue about this Sly. What entertains you may not entertain another person. What makes your opinion more valuable? Nothing. ITS---YOUR----OPINION.
I agree people are entertained by different things. Some, like me, are entertained by quality wrestling. Some, like you apparently, are more easily entertained by shitty wrestling.
Just because you are entertained by it, doesn't change the fact it is shitty. Just because I like the Atlanta Braves, that doesn't mean they are a good baseball team.
You act superior by acting as though anyone who enjoys indy wrestling is a fucking idiot.
Well....
Sorry Sly, but that's just offensive. I find different things to be entertaining than you. I don't give a shit if you think it's inferior or not.
But when you endorse inferior work, then EVERYONE suffers. It's like the smoker telling everyone it's his choice to smoke, when in reality secondhand smoke is actually a danger to me as well.
Your endorsing poor wrestling eventually causes a decline in wrestling overall.
Such bullshit I can't believe you can even stand to type it out with a straight face. Continue with your elitism.
It's not elitism, when just about every worker who has had success in the business has said the same thing. Many guys today don't know how to work a match, they just use fancy moves and a fast pace to try and distract fans from the fact that they don't know how to work.
It's not elitism, it's a problem. And a problem that fans like you only help to spread.
I cannot believe this horseshit you're saying Sly. I seriously hope you're joking, otherwise you're a moron. You enjoy one thing, I enjoy another, doesn't make you "better" because of it, and if you try to argue that, I'm not even going to bother replying because what your saying is so stupid and egotistical that it'd be put to better use as laughing material on a rainy day than serious discussion.
I find it sad that wrestling fans such as yourself DON'T hold these indy promotions up to a higher standard. Ask anyone who worked in the business before the mid 1990s, and they'll ALL tell you roughly the same thing; about how wrestling is about the working the crowd, drawing the crowd in to the match, taking them up on a high, and then gently bringing them down before you build them back up again. Wrestling is about making the fans emotionally invested in the characters in the match. THAT is what wrestling is about, and THAT is what people pay to see on a grand scale.
It's not horseshit, it's the truth, and ANY of the greats of wrestling will tell you the same thing, as will most who started before the mid 1990s.
I'm not even going to bother replying to each statement you make, because each is more laughable than the previous it's just not worth it.
If it is so laughable, then how come the two most recognizable indy promotions are ROH, a company which is walking a tightrope of possible bankruptcy, and CZW, a company which endorses the use of lightbulbs and weedwhackers?
The fact of the matter is I'm NOT wrong, and you know it.
Congrations Sly, you have a fucking OPINION. Other people have DIFFERENT opinions. That's how the world works. We (including I) don't give two fucks if you think it's inferior wrestling Sly. Stop acting so smug.
That's great you have an opinion. I'm sure someone out there has the opinion that Mario Mendoza was a better hitter than Ted Williams. Doesn't change the fact that they, and you, are wrong.
And yes, acting like you're better than someone because of what fucking fake fighting promotion you watch is being smug.
And what do you call acting like you're better than someone because you watch inferior fake fighting?
