Best Reactions
« on: August 07, 2005, 07:12:31 AM »
Just throwing this out here, what do you think are some of the all-time best reactions by bowlers on TV after a strike/split/spare...whatever.  These reactions are what make bowling so interesting on TV.

My top 3 include:
Pete Weber: Suck It!! I think he was on the front 8 in his 299.  Can't remember what year...2002?? he used a Trauma ER.

Brad Angelo:  He made 2 splits in the telecast and on the second one (which I believe was a 4-7-10 to win match 1) Brad ran out the shot, and pumped his index finger into the air 3 times.  It was from one of the earlier shows this season.

Eugene McCune:  Last season when he won, he grabbed the TV Camera and yelled "YES YES YES" into it as loud as possible once he locked up the victory.

If anybody can think of some interesting reactions from PBA telecasts, post here, and if anybody has any of these on video it would be awesome to post them on the net somewhere.

I remember that.  I thought it was really dumb looking.  I'm not saying I wouldn't be really happy, pumped up, whatever.  But it looked kinda stupid to me.

Not necessarily the best, but an interesting reaction was Ernie "I am the greatest!" Schlegel running around screaming after Randy Pederson left his imfamous smash 8-pin in the 1995 Players Championship.

I liked the crotch chop that Pete Weber did....that will always be a classic in my head.....hell, every once in a while, I use it in my league and everyone gets a kick out of it.


The thing I don't get, is that if I do that in my leagues down here, we get an official warning for unsportsman like conduct.

So PDW cando it on TV, but we can't do it in front of 5 people at the bowl.... Go figure

Speaking of Brian Voss, I remember back in like 98 when he won his championship match and ran back on LIVE TV and said "Yeah, F*** Yeah!!!" That was funny for us but embarassing for him.

Around 1991-1993
I remember a match when *Bent Elbow Cranker* Bob Vespi missed a spare and said "Who the hell is clapping?" haha

Unsportsmanlike like conduct, what kind of league do you bowl in, a proper behavior league??

I do the crotch chop all the time.  And the 2 finger salute.  Even drop the occasional F-bomb.  Only once got a warning...

The most famous one I remember is the late Don Johnson hitting the approach on his knees when he left a 10 pin in his 299 game.
