Chapter 91: [Bonus - ] Starmaker
<Rob Williams – The Emerging Starmaker!>
A picture frame with four photos was seen below the title. In one Selena Sanchez was bowing toward the crowd as they gave a standing ovation. In another, Evelyn Carter was being heckled by the fans as she was escorted backstage by security.
The final two pictures showcased Dacey Surestone and Diana Wharton. Dacey’s picture was her iconic flipping-the-crowd moment. Diana’s picture was her throwing a smirk at Dacey while being escorted out of the arena by cops in handcuffs.
[Wrestling as an industry has been stale for a long time. There have been no new innovations, no new match types, and no new exciting features that could grab the crowd’s attention and make them go wow!
For the past few years, the industry has been a stagnant pool with nothing exciting happening. Gone were the days when Steven Rush, the genius booker, broke into the scene of professional wrestling and dazzled us with a variety of never before seen match types and ideas.
Now with Steven Rush moving on in age and the top promotions being a literal mess, there has been a worrying trend of repeating the same old formulas and maintaining what worked wonders a decade ago.
The only changes the top promotions were willing to make were to introduce new wrestlers periodically. Even that was hit-and-miss in several cases. By only changing the wrestlers who wrestle and giving us the same content again and again, wrestling promotions have successfully relegated the industry to a niche trend among sports fans.
One would think that sticking with old formulas was the right way to move forward. After all, they provide good stability and if a change is needed they can always introduce a new face to the roster and hype them up.
Unfortunately for us fans and the wrestling industry in general this had been the state of things for a few years now. Almost half a decade has gone by since we saw something new and exciting. Being faithful fans we have endured this for a long while. But, is this the right attitude to have?
Naysayers may say that stability is the key to success.
But, what the wrestling promotions have been giving us of late is like being served old dishes with new wrappings. The stuff is decent and digestible, but it doesn’t make it right, does it?
Enter, Rob Williams, a 20-year-old wrestling fanatic with a ton of ideas that could potentially revolutionize the entire business.
