[Pulp Fiction]

I worked hard on that story, Pulp!

So Pulp, you've talked about being a licensed official. How do you think this will change things?

This is wonderful news....

- We will see more cage matches, No DQ & No Holds Barred style matches at Indy shows. This, IMO, will be the biggest impact. Indy events will have bigger draws because people would rather spend money knowing they are gonna see a violent event over seeing a 'patty-cake' fest.

- Not all performers will 'Blade' or 'Juice'... and not all promoters/bookers will want every match to have blood. And any 'blade' or 'juice' will be done by the talent that want to do so. And the promoter/booker will have the final say on who does it and in what matches. BUT professional wrestling is making the paying crowd 'Buy' what the talent is 'Selling'. Making the comfortable, uncomfortable & the uncomfortable, comfortable. Blood can make the crowd 'buy-in' more to the performance.

- It opens the door to bigger WWE events (Raw, SmackDown & PPV's)



For example..... the biggest 'Babyface' on the planet is John Noble when he is wrestling at Buckhorn's gym. If he was wrestling Larry D. or Beau James in a regular match, but John gets hit with a chair or a 'foreign object' while the referee is down..... & John comes up bleeding.
#1 - The heel will get more 'Heat' than the summer sun in Florida.
#2 - The crowd will be yelling for John 10X harder than they normally would because he is 'selling' he truly has been injured.

If you get the crowd to cringe, look away, cover their eyes, stand up out of their seat.... you are entertaining. Pro Wrestling is entertainment.


Good move by the Bevin administration. We might even see a UFC Pay Per View come to Rupp Arena or the Yum! Center now.
