(yes: "Hear" as in "listen")
"If it's really emotional,
They forget that it's make believe"
-Eric Bischoff-
Big Time Wrestling Promoter ;)
Bischoff "walks the talk."
*And his methods brought "sports entertainment" to its biggest audience ever (we're talking multi-millions of Monday night viewers)
Granted; I am a biased wrestling fan (I've been watching this crap... I mean craft, since the age of 10 (when I used to watch Bullet Bob Armstrong work the dirt covered floor of the Dothan AL Civic Center.bHeh: recently heard B-Bob still gets in the ring... At age 70!)
Alright , alright to the point!
I think Eric's Quote applies to magic...
Think about it
How can you make your magic more emotional?
Sybil cut? (akin to Armstrong's "Georgia Jaw Jacker"!) great move, but FAR less effective against a jobber in a meaningless match.
How bout a Personal Question?
Yea! Now, can ya smellllllllll what the Rock is Cookin? A question is akin to Vince McMahon arguing with Stone Cold Steve Austin ( followed by the obligatory "Stone Cold Stunner"!)
The moves and effects are good.
It's the emotion that makes it great.
We're lucky. Magic is interesting (& somewhat emotional with effect alone (watch Blaine perform... And don't criticize: it works) but...
"If you can you can make it really emotional, they'll forget that it's make believe"
Oh and plus wearing big flashy robes
That's good too!
That pic is me & Charles Robinson (head referee for WWE for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time) wearing Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair robe (& below that: Bischoff w/ Hogan... Making things "emotional)
* Lil known factoid *Charles is Scott Robinson's brother
** Lil known factoid #2 Max Maven (along with many other popular magi) are also wrasslin fans. Max' knowledge of pro wrestling is hardcore. ECW ECW ECW!
Oh & for the bros;
