A-List is a term used to rank. It's in the very language of the word.

A-List is used to gauge someone's fame plain and simple. If Snooki was attending a Hollywood party, would she be on the D-List with Corey Feldman and Pauly Shore?
This stuff is all bullshit but it exists.

She is an A-that thList celebrity. It doesn't matter if it's only going to last a year. That's all I'm saying.

It's easy to change now and say "well this just comes down to definition of what A-list is"

It's quite clear to read in the thread ere was serious contention to the idea of her being famous on massive levels, just because of matter of ignorance or personal opinion.
That is wrong. False. She is more famous than sin and that's the way it is on Planet Earth today. We don't have to like it.

That's really all I have to add. I can't sit here and argue the color of the sky.


And I have no energy to respond to Noid and the infamous thing. Infamous was a term used later on in this thread. It had nothing to do with the original argument. It was a red herring.

I'd say there are two types.

A-Listers: Big huge names whose very presence is a sight to behold

A*-Listers: Household names who have become so known for their crazy antics/shenanigans that people are interested/constantly talking about them. (Charlie Sheen category)

Snooki and the cast of Jershey Shore do not fit in either category of A-listers.

I'd say that the "Jersey Shore" brand/name is certainly an A-List brand/name, with people knowing of it even if they don't watch.... but the cast members themselves, on their own? They don't make the cut.

It's just frustrating that you originally responded "No they aren't." to the statement, "They are genuinely famous."

How am I expected to not disagree with that, and now the argument is being changed.

I don't even think the Charlie Sheen kind qualify as "A-Listers." Now, their status as an A-Lister might effect the attention their self-destruction achieves.

The fame thing was the crux of the argument from the very get go, so it annoys me that it has digressed into "define A list" and "infamous vs famous."

It just wasn't the original context of this discussion, and feels like a total escape valve on what was bullshit

What the hell are you talking about? The initial point of this thread was why have the quality of celebs gone down, IE Muhammad Ali is now Snooki. Mr T is now Kevin Federline etc...

I just want to point out that this is actually an interesting side point. Maybe that's indicative of trends in pop culture and fame, in general, rather than just wrestling.

I think it takes less to be a huge celebrity now

You're probably never going to see a celebrity on the scale of Michael Jackson ever again. Instead, there is a slew of them in the mold of Snooki, Kim Kardashian and K-Fed.

That's BS, of course you'll see super Celebs, Brad Pitt is a super celeb, flash in the pans have always existed it's just easier to become one

It's definitely more indicative of where wrestling has gone then of fame in general, WWE rarely attracts um respectable celebs anymore.

I also question if Snooke's fame goes beyond a certain age group. Jike as in everyone knows who Johnny Depp is more or less, Snookie? Not so much,

This is getting so specific now. Look, people know her, people that watch the same type of programming as WWE know her. That's all that matters to WWE, they don't care if she is an actor, musician, model, tv host, reality star, sports star, IT DOESN'T MATTER she is famous and relevant to the audience that watches WWE.

You can use the word infamous, famous, a-list, d-list... it doesn't matter, Snooki = ratings that's all that matters here. Ratings are not defined on quality, just quantity okay, thats it.

I am not in an argument about "a-list" celebrities or "d-list" celebrities it doesn't matter, she equals ratings and thats all I am saying.

It's been shown before that this stuff doesn't usually translate between mediums.

I don't think Snooki should boost Raw's ratings too much, tbh. A little.

But it should also be noted that I don't think George Clooney appearing on Raw would have a major impact on the ratings either.
People are either watching wrestling or not, at the end of the day. Most of the time cross-appearances are pretty minor in impact.

I doubt ratings is their main concern though. It will probably get them on some media outlets tomorrow, during Wrestlemania season to boot. And Vince just likes to have his company in any kind of spotlight.
It's a good take.

The beauty of it is that I am right there with you guys in the obvious assessment that she's a no-talent clown shoe that will fade from the spotlight in less than 2 years.
I'm in no way defending her honor or the validity of her fame.

This is really just a matter of logic and recognizing facts/pop culture/reality, to me anyways.

Yup which is why I wish they wouldn't bother, it doesn't do great business, and it's rarely entertaining,

I think Cyndi Lauper, Mike Tyson circa 1998, Mr T, and Ali are the only ones that did any sort of real business, maybe Lawrence Taylor too.

I think most of the attraction appearances did them favors. Trump, Mayweather, etc.

That's because there was an actual PPV and media build surrounding them. It was actually marketed.
I think guest appearances are "just for fun" and show, unless there is an actual event built around them.

That was a bad choice of words from me. I make those a lot because I generally suck at explaining stuff/"talking".

I'd say "Jersey Shore" is genuinely famous. Snooki is famous in the way that occasionally you will hear her name, but what I meant is that people who don't watch the show will hear the name and think "Who is this person, and why should I care" unless it says FROM JERSERY SHORE in equal parts. If it is just "Snooki", people not acquainted with the show will just pass it by.

Don't really know how to explain this/convey it properly, and there have probably been a dozen posts in between now, with all the time I've tried to figure it out.

She is I stand by that, still makes her famous tho

Actually it technically started when Jordan X said that Snookie counts to him on the same level of fame as Ali.


Which is why I said D-List


Basically

Topic: Have you noticed how the quality of Celebs has gone down over the years. WWE once got Ali to appear now look at them

Jordan X: What about Snookie?

I think you're blurring the lines between level of fame and level of critical acclaim/'respect'.

Bingo. That's all I'm saying!

That happens on here quite frequently though. In fact, nearly every thread.

Are you just purposely being dense?

When someone asks why can't the WWE attract respectable huge Celebs like Muhammad Ali the correct retort isn't what about Snookie?

Are people going to tune in to see the wreck that is SNooki on RAW - SHIT YES

And it will get press.

What at all would they do with someone Legit? Who really wants to someone like Kevin Spacey or any other A LISTER stand around and not really want to be on Raw. They are above,

The WWE is a spectacle and thye want to book celebrities that ARE just that. Not someone famous.

I dont get the debate here.

I think that still neatly misses the point. From Tyson to Snookie.

I think the only people who are bringing up the likes of Stewart or Streep are the folks who are trying to create a ridiculous version of the "other side's" argument in order to appear to easily defeat said argument.

This thread certainly wasn't about how they used to have the likes of Sir Ian McKellan or Michael Caine, but about how they used to have the likes of Tyson, and now they have shitty reality TV stars and guys who are only famous because they fucked someone famous.

Before you fuckwads start crying about all sorts of shit I didn't say, let's get some things I actually believe out of the way.

  • Snookie will benefit Raw. She will benefit Raw more than most of the guest hosts.
  • 80% of the people bitching about her being on the show tuned in. I'm sure they will try and take some sort of high ground, like they were watching it "ironically," but they're hypocrites. Moving on.
  • Snookie still won't benefit Raw like a serious household name. Snookie will play out with Raw Is Trailer Parks, yes. There will be some crossover, yes. there will not be a huge intro to pro wrestling.
  • And when I say "household name," I do not mean Patrick Stewart, Meryl Streep, or whatever bullshit someone wants to make up to distort the argument.
Yes, I know the shit already happened, but I'll wait for actual ratings, not the asspull ones that Ruan Clark pulls from a more reputable sheet that still doesn't match the actual Nielsen ratings. Hence the predictive statements.

LOL this is a mess people. He said she said, I dunno! Snooki is famous, I understand WWE wanting her on Raw.

If she Ali? No way, and I didn't say that they were on the same level. But come on, she is pretty relevant right behind Sheen and The Earthquake.

The Earthquake needs to show up on RAW. SEEEEERIOUS heat and a potential star-making vehicle for Yoshi Tatsu.

I think the Earthquake as a heel manager. he broke the nuke plants to reawaken Adam Bomb and bring him back to challenge Cena.
