Malcolm Gladwell's Melrose Place fandom a lesson for WWE fans
www.cagesideseats.com
Hollywood WallaceJanuary 17, 2016
Malcolm Gladwell is the premier pop-intellectual of our time. His long-running presence in The New Yorker is always interesting. His books are anticipated events that both inform and entertain. He's smart, affable, and presents engrossing arguments. His media appearances are generally thought provoking and worth seeking out.
One such appearance was this week on on The Bill Simmons Podcast. The whole show is worth listening to, but one part stood out. At 50:09, Simmons and Gladwell are discussing television shows as cultural events and bemoaning the demise of the American monoculture.
To summarize, Simmons mentions how much he enjoyed The OC. Unprompted, Gladwell brings up Melrose Place as an example of a bad/failing show and then immediately distances himself from it.
Over the next few minutes, Gladwell proceeds to reluctantly out himself as someone in the Top 1% of Melrose Place superfandom.
There's nothing wrong with loving Melrose Place. Why the hesitation? Why the shame? For all the research Gladwell trumpets on population trends and proclivities, you'd think he's be more at ease with his own entertainment preferences.
This whole exchange reminded me of the relationship that many people, especially mature grownups, have with professional wrestling.
AD
There are a ton of adult wrestling fans. The financial success of WWE is proof positive of that fact. But there are few mainstream adults that openly identify as such.
The fact that you're reading this suggests that you are a wrestling fan. Don't live your life in fear, like Malcolm Gladwell does. Wear your fandom as loud as you'd like! And if there's anything else in this world that you're passionate about, don't hesitate to express your zeal, especially if the topic is broached.
By all means strive to be like Malcolm Gladwell. Get your thoughts on the best seller list and become a trusted thinker in the public eye. Just don't live in fear of being judged for your choice in entertainment.
Oh and Malcolm, it's ok. Aaron Spelling was a freaking genius.

"AEW signs folks released by WWE; WCW signed folks that got away from WWF."

But explain how he kisses Vince's a** when he has stated (on record) dozens of times how Vince has ruined Pro Wrestling?
Or did you just make that up?
I get not messing with dude but bashing AEW doesn't mean someone has to be Pro-Vince/WWE.
That is far from the case with JC.
