I agree with you on this. Guys the PBR did not totally come from nothing. They did have ESPN around for there big events in Vegas. And most big cities had rodeo's each year that were highly advertised. Yes there not apples to apples, but its not like he put the first man on a bull. I am going to look at this a much more simple way. Its time to think outside the box. The past is just about all used up. Time to move on. Maybe this guy can make things better. hopefully better things will trickle down below like it has in the PBR. One thing to remember, not only did he get the PBR up and rolling, but now there is a "support series" of sorts feeding new riders to the big show. There is a direct path. Once you reach the top, if you do not maintain a certain level you drop back down. This guy has never seen an indy car race..... well at least he has not seen several of the failurres from the past.
