Really how has that worked out for Bogus Ball
Do you honestly believe a documentary on Earl will have a sudden impact on the pool world ,, I hardly think so
Many people believe pool grew in part because of the color of money that's a misconception , the APA was the reason pool was growing so fast in those yrs the marketing tactics and big sponsorship was what propelled them to bring the biggest pool league in the world leaving all others in their dust
However the APA is not by any stretch a spectator sport your lucky if you see any more than a handful of spectators watching a finals match
By far and away the most entertaining pool I have ever witnessed was the pit at VF , with Kieth McCreedy ,Ryan McCreesh , Frankie Hernandez .Bobby Pickle , Pooky , Eddie Abraham . and a few others , people would be standing on tables just to get a peek at the entertainment and entertaining it was, after all that's what sports is ,entertainment and that's exactly what tournament pool is not , and that's why it's in the shape it's in . It's simply not entertaining for the most part , the MC is by far the most entertaining pool you will see on the tube and the FANS love it
The Viewing Fans . Yes is the Teacher , pay attention and you can see what is selling , shows like Honey Boo Boo call of the Wild Man , Duck dynasty , are the type of shows that's trending because there entertaining
2 stiffs playing pool just simply is not entertainment , put some life and some personality in the game and its got a small shot of success
