Edmond Fickleberry here.
I’m with you today because Kellyanne got hit in the face with an elbow from a little boy, and now she’s pained to think. To write, you need to think, even in something so poorly constructed as this blog. Blogorrhea.
Thank you, Mr. Fickleberry. I’ll take it from here.
Wrestling can be therapeutic regarding your ailment of being a wrestler. We spend a lot of time not wrestling. That’s the worst thing about being a wrestler.
Do you know what is great about being a fan of wrestling? You can turn your television off and be done with it; you can go on and live your life not having to worry about it until next week/month.
Once you’ve done it, though – wrestling that is – once you’ve been involved with it on a proper professional level, you are done.
Done? What do you mean done?
I mean done, son. There is no thought which isn’t tainted. You cannot function. The world becomes a stage, even when it’s not, and you, kid, you’re the star of the show.
The big question is: There are so many wrestlers, so can everyone be the star of the show?
No – with a but.
Never in history has every professional wrestler been this close to being the star of the show. I believe that. Dangerous to think like that.
The world’s population is almost 8 billion, yet a fan base for whatever it is you’re doing has never been smaller, unless you broaden what it is you’re doing … but then you’re not doing what you want to be doing, are you? You end up catering to the 1% and not to your existing 99%.
We’re fighting for splinters: “Look at me, not her;” “Here’s me and a plate of chicken;” “I won’t work there.” All splinters which will splinter again, taking a few more fans with them.
The small factions of fans/eyes/viewers that splinter off with you as you broaden your strokes (in doing that, making yourself less interesting, less of what you were to begin with) become dissatisfied with you. The only way to garner more attention is to paint yourself in an even broader picture to try and capture more splinters.
Do you see what’s going on here?
It’s reverse mystique. It’s the apparent era. But, unfortunately, the more apparent you become, the less likely you are to be noticed.
Fans, wrestlers. What’s the difference between them all these days anyway? We’re all splinters. Splinters gonna splint.
Sorry guys. I’ve been reading and obviously misinterpreting a lot of Dr. Seuss lately. Love the illustrations though.
Peace, KA
