It was a excellent show, even with Minimo in the front row at the beginning. I was thinking it was the dude from Jackass

Just got home!  Damn!  Faulkner ran the table and won?  I need to find a replay of this show.  Man!  Ladies and gentlemen... BOWLING IS BACK!!!!!

Faulkner was very impressive, no doubt.  He very much reminded me of when Ricky Ward was on the tour.  Versatile, calm, and let his bowling do the talking.  Definitely hope to see more of him on tv.  Great show overall.

Being black, words cannot describe how special this show was.

Yeah 2nd time ever and first time in who know how many years.  I remember seeing him on those Xtra frame shows.  They would just show clips of him bowling.  But I was like "who is this guy and why isn't he on the TV shows?"  Power player but just super calm.  I hope I see him win several more.

Same here. This feels like such history for be growing up in bowling the D.C. Area with 40+ lane centers of all black teams on league nights. I grew up looking up to the local guys who were great and gave the tour a run and had great success but not winning a PBA Major 1st TV show out success.

There couldn't have been a better guy to do it.

What also impressed me was the unbelievable pin action/carry that he was getting. His roll and ball reaction was perfect! He deserved to win!

Was happy to see Gary win, he was very calm and collected.  Nice for Motiv to have both on the show in the finals. 

[]bHow did everyone like the perspective?  I really liked the higher view point of the ball going down the lane.  Gives a better idea of reaction shapes on the patterns.[/b]

Also, I don't think it was a Jackal Carnage (though I wasn't there), though could have been.  I saw the fill ball with the Revolt Havoc so maybe that is the sign it was the Carnage.  Was thinking it could be a Venom Panic since it seemed Tackett was throwing weaker stuff.

Further leaves me to believe there are PBA execs reading some of my threads on here.  I created a thread a month or so ago on improvements the PBA needs to make on their shows.  I was shocked how good the production was last night.  And yeah, that view they showed (which is more above the lane and centered, not that stupid 3/4 quarter side view where you can't see anything but the ball rotating) is awesome.  When Faulkner's ball was going down the lane, you could see exactly where it started rolling and how solid it was going into the pocket.

Since I know you are reading, GOOD JOB PBA! HAH!

I'll say this, as I haven't seen any of the shows yet.

I was lucky enough to catch this while searching for bowling from my provider, and immediately set the DVR. Unfortunately, since this was live and I'm in the same time zone (100 miles from Reno), this came on at 4pm. The bad part of it here was that most people in the same timezone, who were not up there or not proactively keeping track of the tournaments, were still at work when these went to air. So there would have been no real way to catch this unless it was recorded, or hope that it airs again.

That might be the PBA's intentions here; air these live, but possibly re-air them at another time, and maybe back in that 'typical' Sunday slot.

I'll have time to watch this this weekend, so I'm going to hold fire on any other comments.

Not sure if it will be re-aired, but I think PBA YouTube page will upload it at some point.  They have entire tournaments uploaded of recent shows.  I only saw first hour.  But compared to the lame production they have had the past 10 years, this was by far the best show in over a decade.

Not worried about it being re-aired, as I have the shows recorded. I'm just saying that for those in the same timezone, the timing was bad. Most people were still at work finishing up the day at the time the shows were aired. In fact, I don't remember a time in any of the PBA/PWBA/LPBT/PBA Seniors tours where the taped show was aired during the business day. They were all either in the evening or on the weekend, but never during the business day.
