God, there are so many good ones. If I had to choose, I guess it would have to be the '96 Flagship Open when it was impossible for any of the guys to miss the pocket. Bob Learn won 4 matches (300-279, 270-268, 280-279, 279-257) en route to the title in front of his hometown fans. Normally, I'm not one for scorefests, but the atmosphere during this telecast was unreal and the scoring was historic.

1996 or 1997 in Kennewick Wa when Brian Voss won. Not only were there 4 of the greatest of all time on that show (Williams Jr, Weber, Duke, Voss), Voss screams out "F" yea. Hilarious and  coincidentally, Voss got his mic taken away for a while.....

Bob Learn's day in Erie was awesome, but the 300-279 Aulby vs. Ozio was very exciting as well.

My favorite show is the '96 Flagship Open in Erie.  Hands down, 100% favorite.

My favorite match is the title match from the 2001 Louisville Open, when Pete Weber and Michael Haugen went head-to-head, Pete winning 289-279.

My favorite show was the Erie as well.  Favorite title match would have to be the Goebel vs Duke 296-280 in Peoria, not sure what year.

I love all the really old ones on ESPN Classic.  Saw one with Ritger vs. Salvino!  The clothing alone is worth watching.

Gotta agree, because I've bowled in several leagues at that center over the years and appreciate just how hard it is to carry in that house no matter what oil pattern they put down!!  I loved watching PDW go from hooking the whole lane in game one to playing much more direct in the title match.

If you wanna watch for the clothing factor alone, you gotta check out some old school shows with Guppy Troup and Ernie Schlegel. Back in his prime, I'm convinced Ernie used to jump a stunt bike over 10 RV's and through a ring of fire during commercial breaks, ham it up to an awestruck crowd, and make it back into the bowling center without changing his outfit with mere seconds to spare. I'm convinced.
