Pool, Poker and I shoot you.... am too old for the fighting shit... Will just start carrying when PPP hits the air and whoever thinks they win by jumping me in the parking lot is gonna have their series permanently cancelled.......
Am glad to see pool getting some attention tho...Think that makes 3 reality series that are looking at the sport?
Goooo Blair!!!

It's really not that bad. While the top position would be preferred given the choice the guard is still a comfortable position. Rules against upkicks, rounds with time limits, & judges who are clueless about bjj give the impression that fighting from the bottom is much worse than it actually is.
((( Satori)))<<<<<<<< pool playing extraordinaire, brown belt in bjj under Renato Tavares with experience in professional mma, and has dabbled in cards a little bit. PPP is right up my alley. I'd be interested in knowing more if someone wants to pm me.

Pool IS gambling and hustling. After all, there's no pro tour. It's gambling and hustling that makes pool interesting. When TCOM and The Hustler came out, pool got a huge shot in the arm in regards to popularity.
Pool wihout gambling and hustling (drama) is totally disinteresting to a non-pool-playing viewer. Most people have never blown into a duck call or shot a duck, but still like Duck Dynasty. There are prob tons of duck hunters who are doctors and lawyers and think, "Why do they make this sport look like it's for hillbillies?" Answer: The hillbilly crap is why they watch... ducks have nothing to do with it.
Pool has zero chance without drama of some kind and drama doesn't exist in pool without gambling, hustling, barking and sometimes fighting, cops, drugs and car washes.
Shunning gambling and hustling is like a porn addict shunning strip clubs, video parlors and midget hookers while pointing at the Playboy Mansion as the image of the sex industry. It's not reality and it's not what it is.
People watch hockey for the fights and NASCAR for the wrecks... that doesn't mean they have tarnished images either. People need to embrace pool for what makes it fun and interesting.

I disagree with this part. I watch hockey for the fights and NASCAR for the wrecks (hopefully non-fatal), because I hate both sports.
People that actually enjoy hockey and NASCAR watch because for some reason they find them interesting.
People who actually ENJOY pool watch pool for the sport of it. Everyone else, well... they're watching pool for the wrecks and fights.
Now unlike hockey and NASCAR, pool has almost zero fans/players. Therefore, when attacking a market who couldn't care less about what it is you do.... you better have wrecks and fights.
I know our egos can't handle the truth, but the truth is pool is BORING and when people actually do find it on TV, it's to click past it to get to guys buying storage units or watching a bunch of guidos and guidettes get shit-faced at the jersey shore or some old dude in overalls and a long beard acting like a hillbilly while making millions with duck calls. The state of the union is that NO ONE (can't stress NO ONE enough) finds pool interesting. The old ESPN matches that come up on 3am are fillers only - they're flat, dry and forgettable.
Therefore, the answer is to go in the opposite direction.
I GUARANTEE if they followed Scooter around with a camera for 6 months as he goes from dead-broke to flying around to car washes and pulling bills, losing bills, scoring huge in a hotel soda machine, BARELY avoiding the cops, scoring huge on a poker machine that he can beat on the square and then driving to the DCC to send it in with $10k chunks and taking the entire room's action on some bets... people will tune in.
Now, the above is totally hypothetical and has nothing to do with Blair or his projects, but I'm just making a point. If the TV show COPS only consisted of police officers pulling people over because their tail light was out or because they slow-rolled through a stop sign, it'd be off the air. Every episode consists of dudes trying to swallow crack rocks during traffic stops, running away on foot and long, drawn-out car chases.
Drama is what interests people--- the actions, sports, past-times, jobs, etc... they're all just a back-drop and excuse for the drama to take place.
I think you are spot on! A pool show done up like the discovery channels Street Outlaws show would be interesting for sure! It has Fast cars, characters,danger, dopey pranks,shit talking and it is fun to watch. I think a show like this about pool and the folks involved in it would be a hoot to watch
I just found this on Blair's FB:
I think She Sharks is a super concept -- it looks like Blair is positioned beautifully and has a lot of interest and action. Rachael is a great pick for a show like that. I'd prob tune-in to watch her pump air in her tires let alone going around scuffling for pool action.
GO BLAIR!!!!!!!
