...especially considering that the final table will consist of 9 nameless players who no one has ever heard of?
personally, i think it's really going to hurt, and even worse, it will give the wsop reason to continue with this preposterous stunt...while i understand that 3 months is a long time to build up a backstory for the finalists, no one in the mainstream media is going to want to give major attention to these people, which is the ultimate goal of delaying the table...and as i stated above, i think the idea is totally absurd and a desperate stunt to recapture the ratings of 2004, 2005, and 2006, the results of event are being distorted and the integrity of the event is being destroyed because of this idea, but that's another topic for another day
so, what are your opinions on how this will play out? will the gamble taken by espn and the wsop fail because of the lack of name players? or will ratings be as strong as originally hoped regardless?
