The Amazing Digital Managerie (2/3)

[kylehydesnotebook]

I think the main problem with this Nia Jax/Ronda Rousey feud is that neither one is a strong talker. Nia sounds so unconvincing, no matter the material she’s given, while Rousey seems stunted in how she speaks. This is a feud where a managerial type, who’s a more capable talker, would be helpful.

Royal Rumble predictions, anyone?

Tonight marks the 2018 edition of the Royal Rumble event, including the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble, which will feature 30 female Superstars battling it out for a chance to challenge the Women’s Champion of her choice at WrestleMania.

So, with just the main card matches in consideration, here are my predictions for tonight’s Royal Rumble event. Feel free to reblog with your own predictions.

Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman vs. Kane for the Universal Championship: As much as I want to see Braun Strowman win the title off of Lesnar tonight, signs seem to point to a monster matchup between Lesnar and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. So, I see Brock Lesnar retaining tonight (even though I think he should’ve dropped the title ages ago, or at least bring back the requirement that the title must be defended every 30 days).

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship: See? At least AJ Styles is a fighting champion! I kinda like the novelty of co-champions (remember Chris Jericho and Chyna both holding the Intercontinental Championship?). I think the men behind the Yep! Movement may be crazy enough to actually pull it off. I’m going with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on this one, becoming the first-ever WWE co-Champions.

Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan vs. The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) for the RAW Tag Team Championship: First of all, happy 40th birthday to Sheamus! Okay. This is kind of a toss up for me, but I think whenever Rollins & Jordan drop the titles is when Jordan will finally turn heel. Whether it happens tonight or at WrestleMania, I’m not sure. I’m thinking a WrestleMania heel turn is more likely for him, so I’m gonna say that Rollins & Jordan retain their titles tonight.

The Usos vs. Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship: I have to say, I’m liking the Usos in their most recent face run, taking their heel characters and turning them into antiheroes (in other words, good guys with a little bit of a bad streak). This one is another tossup. I’ll go with The Usos retaining tonight.

The Women’s Royal Rumble: I hope they pull this one off well and that there are no male performers in drag in this one (I’m talking to you, “Santina” Marella, becoming “Miss” WrestleMania). The men’s version has always been such a unique, prestigious event and I expect the women’s match to get the same treatment. I’m glad the women’s version of this match is being contested under the exact same rules as the men’s (30 women competing, eliminations over the top rope with both feet touching the floor, presumably with another wrestler entering the ring every 90 seconds after the first two enter). A lot of eyes will be watching. Only 18 women have declared for the Royal Rumble (all non-title holders except for Paige, who is not medically cleared to compete, but is still with Absolution in a managerial role), so I’m expecting a few WWE Women’s Legends and alumni (I’m thinking Trish Stratus, maybe Kelly Kelly, and I would love to see Alundra Blayze or Molly Holly come back for one night only for the nostalgia pops; I’d be happy to see Kia Stevens/Awesome Kong/Kharma make an appearance, too), and quite a few NXT call-ups or cameos as well (Ember Moon, Lacey Evans, Dakota Kai, and recent acquisition Candice LeRae all come to mind). As to who I think will win? My top two picks to win are Asuka and Nia Jax. Asuka has had quite the push since getting called up from NXT last fall, and a title opportunity would be a great way to capitalize on that push. As for Nia, I’m surprised a woman whose size could make her the most dominating wrestler in the entire division hasn’t held a women’s championship yet! WrestleMania would be a great venue for her to start.

The Men’s Royal Rumble: This one is harder to call. First, for surprise entrants...the only one I can really think of is one who just re-signed with WWE and assigned to NXT is EC3 (formerly known as Derrick Bateman in WWE and Ethan Carter III in TNA/Impact Wrestling). Because there’s so many ways this can go, I’m just gonna go with my top 3 picks to win the Rumble: either Braun Strowman (if he fails to win the Universal Championship), Shinsuke Nakamura, or Roman Reigns (which would set up for their rumored matchup at WrestleMania). Preferably Strowman or Nakamura.

Okay, those are my predictions!

Steve lamacq, second bands, Listeners continue to share their examples of second bands, better than the first. Idles continue their reign as Lamacq Livener favourites. And there's a Thursday Headbanger from Helmet.

The show can be aimed at anyone, but if i had to say a category i would say listeners from the ages of 16-30, majority of social groups.

Task 3?:

There are many ways of splitting the audience into different categories some of which are; age, gender, socio-economic background, tastes/interests, ethnicity and lifestyle. But one of the main methods for classifying and targeting different audiences is by determining their social grade. there are 6 different social grades that can be given to someone, these are A, B, C1, C2, D and E. A is for the upper middle class, this grade/classes occupation can be higher managerial jobs, administrative jobs and  professional jobs. B is for the middle class, this grade/classes occupation is intermediate managerial jobs. C1 is for the lower middle class, this grade/classes occupation is supervisory and clerical work. C2 is the skilled working class, this class represents skilled manual workers. D is for the working class, the social grade D is for semi and unskilled manual workers. E is the lowest grade and is for those at the lowest level of subsistence, this grade contains state pensioners, widows and the lowest grade workers.

The social grade system is a good way of determining radio target audience, but there are some drawbacks and limitations of this system, some of which are:

It classifies an entire household on the occupation and not a single individual.

It ignores groups such as wealthy people, whom of which do not work and it also ignores some groups of self employed people.

Finally it contains no information about the size or structure of the household.

These drawbacks and limitations do not render this system useless, this is because the system still gathers simple information that radio companies can use. There are also some alternatives some of which are; education, political leanings, family size, type of housing, behaviour, lifestyle and aspirations.

Another method of classifying audiences is the Young and Rubicam’s Cross Cultural Characterisation, this method originated from maslow’s hierarchy of needs study. Young and Rubicam have used this to create the “4Cs”, the 4Cs divides people into 7 types. The seven types are the Explorer, the Aspirer, the Succeeder, the Reformer, the Mainstream, the Struggler and the Resigned.

The explorers need is discovery, the explorer is also young in nature and the first to try out new ideas. The aspirers need is status, the aspirer is also materialistic and they are acquisitive people. The succeeders need is control, they also have strong goal orientation and they are very organised. The reformers need is enlightenment, they are anti-materialistic, intellectual, and socially aware. The mainstreamers need is security, a daily routine is fundamental they are also the mainstream of society. The strugglers need is escape, they are known for being victims, losers and wasters. the resigned have the need to survive, they are normally older people with unchanging values built up over time.
