Evidently, I erred in my calculation of what your view is for this thread topic. To assert that the American Public wants pool, in any sort of legitimate sport form, is absurd. What they want is something that can be scripted, created, canned, and delivered.10) The live stage to which this world class performance and show is going to take place from is not selling pool tables, pool cues, chalk, tip tappers, jump cues....or anything else for that matter! This place, this location....has one purpose, and one purpose only, and it's NOT to have 8 pool table's rolled in and rolled out after every show!!! It's purpose is to set the stage for live performances to Joe public as to entertain them, in the hopes of gaining their support, BUT in order to do that, Joe public is going to REQUIRE watching all 8 tables at the same time, as to give Joe public a choice of which show they want to watch....in order to keep them entertained, it must START and CONCLUDE during the course of a weekend as that's their entertainment and attention span time frame!!!
And Joe Public WANTS to be able to see clearly the show they're being expected to pay for!!! Which means they REQUIRE more than 1 camera view as to NOT miss a thing in the show they paid to watch!!! AND, Joe public WANTS the option to flip from one show to another and back and forth!!! We today, DON'T have the Grand Ole Opry, Madison Square Gardens, The Wimbledon, the Brickyard 500, the place in which the world can view our PROFESSIONAL POOL PLAYERS FROM that is a significant location to OUR sport!!! THAT is another problem!!! Because the stage for live viewing has to be set up for permanent Broadcasting and continually updated as to broadcast the best shows possible to Joe Public!!!
Now you are talking about entertainment as an avenue, just as the "atmosphere" is created for the audience by Hollywood.
Sadly, it has already been proven that there is no audience for Televised Pool. because there is no scripted drama and result. If you want the WWE, that's what you get. You would need 20 Earl's and Shane's who would follow the script and "be" Actors.
You say this could take place from a location? That's easy. Warner Brothers, Sony, and Paramount have empty buildings that can be used as sets...if the pitch is successful. Trust me, I've worked there. They can create an entire fake pool room inside one of those buildings and the audience would believe it is a real Brick and Mortar Store.
Location? Hell, the BCA can't even show a Brick and Mortar Building for the BCA Hall of Fame!! Evidently, billiards industry people aren't interested in a Canton, Ohio or a Springfield, Massachusetts to showcase their history.
Without the formation of a legitimate body to formulate and direct pool playing for what and who would be deemed "Pro Players", any idea to create a delivery venue, is a major conflict waiting to happen. I have seen every entity for Pro Pool come into being and die in the last 40 years. Why? Because they were all influenced by pool players and their individual egos and greed. It's an Ethics problem.
Entertaining? Yes, I just spent 3 days and 29.95 paying for a tremendous internet stream from PoolActionTV from the Texas 10 Ball Open. I was a "Passive" viewer for almost 80% of the event. I got my money's worth.
Entertainment must have Drama, Comedy, Ethos and Pathos. If it doesn't exist naturally, it must be created. What you envision, is a packaged product for mass consumption...and the American Public is not hungry for it. Yet.
