Explain the Dick Druids in kayfabe.

The explanation is simple. There were no people dressed as dongs at the show.

It's just that Joey Ryan's masculinity is so strong that his testosterone acts like a pheromone and induces mass hallucinations.

So people saw... what they expected to see.

And yes, it's strong enough to affect you through the camera, the television and streaming...

It is just my opinion. I just think you can not cater to one section of the audience .

I'm not a business graduate or even went into any long-term business class but that's literally how companies have made tonnes of money; by catering to a section of the audience. You're not going to aim clothes for various sizes or people playing video games on YouTube to the people who can buy off the rack or don't understand Let's Play-ers, for example. To go niche of a niche gets you more money than going "Hey, let's aim for EVERYONE" and losing all of it in one go.

A very brief example of this is Pro Wrestling EVE, a women's promotion in the UK that's very underground and doesn't get the publicity from the wrestling press it deserves but it gets mainstream press by aiming for women and women interested in empowerment stories like GLOW and such. They got some pretty big slots on mainstream shows and mainstream music festivals and the media coverage they got from it was MASSIVE and should be talked about more. Outside of WWE and All In, they were getting the news on some big non-wrestling news websites. And they're still a small women's promotion in Central London but it's going to pay off more and more as more interest comes in and more name talent comes in.

Look at ECW for example. Great promotion that was successful in the short term but in the long term not so much because they catered to one section of the Audience.

ECW died because Paul Heyman was a f***ing idiot with money and not playing ball with TV companies and sponsors. That's it. If neither of those things happened, I guarentee you ECW would have at the very least lasted longer than it did.

If the All In people are Succesful that is great,

There's no "ifs" about it, they were successful. They sold out a massive stadium through mostly YouTube videos and star power. That's unprecedented.

but then again all I was saying is I personally do not like the Joey Ryans and the Young bucks because I feel they make a mockery out of wrestling. Which I can back up with examples.They also do appeal to a certain segment of the audience which I can also back up with examples.

Cool. Neither of those things have to do with you saying they shouldn't be catering to niche audiences because it doesn't make money when it's literally made them a lot of money.

To somewhat play devil's advocate to Cody Wyatt, I think he would have a point that catering to a small niche isn't a sustainable business model for a regular large-scale wrestling brand to exist and run regular shows on, because a small niche are unlikely to be able to afford to continually buy/attend a 10,000-ish venue show to a level that's profitable. But, that also somewhat misses the point that All In isn't meant to be the launch of a promotion and the Bucks/Cody aren't (currently, anyway) showing any interest in doing so. It's a one-off supercard, that if we're lucky might become an annual mega-event, and if we're REALLY lucky might become an every-few-months showcase show.

All that said, I enjoyed the Dick Druids. All it was missing was the Undertaker DONG sound with them, and accompanying caption.
