there has to be bricks of c-notes like poker, not a 30,000 ring game winner take all, I spoke to a friend who has sold a few reality shows for over 20mil, he is the real deal, he liked the idea, he rembered the fats, mosconi shows from the 70's, what we came up with is a cross over of that with mic'ed players trash talking-but not over doing it and a million or more in cash, were competing with poker, 30 dimes is alot of $$$ but for TV audience its nothing, he is very creative so I gave him a few ideas, he was fired up and will come up with a few ideas, when i see him in a few weeks for lunch in beverly hills i'll make notes and brain storm with him, i'll bring the good ideas here-a pool community for feed back, remeber this isnt a show for pool players its a show for people who have preconcieved ideas about pool and lots of money to make the game more attractive, and hopefully devlop interest in pool. one pocket aint gonna sell. run out pool isnt as important as the personalitys. so we dont need champions. just some ideas, i'll come back with more in time,
 
spin off

Have you seen "I bet you" on the mojo network?
Phil Locke and Antonio Esfandiari walking around
betting on who can eat an ice cream cone the fastest.
There is always a "theme" bet that is the finale, but they
bet on dumb stuff for the first 15 minutes of the show.


In that same fashion, It would be awesome to see
Corey Deuel and Alex Pagulyan on the road again on camera
setting up races with the locals. This would be easy to do,
very inexpensive and could yield excellent bits for tv.

Picture this...

Standing outside YOUR local pool hall.

Announcer: Here we are in BF, Egypt to try to find some action
for two of the best players in the world.


They walk in, people recognize them and start calling the
best players they know. Before long you have a game.

There are thousand scenarios for the action and the side bets,
and plenty of opportunity to let the characters' personalities shine.
As we all know, personality sells and so do high stakes games.
