Perhaps? Let's chalk it up to misunderstanding since the internet doesn't convey intent well.

Peace?

Glad I don't have ESPN Classic for this.  WRW is without a doubt one of the best to throw a bowling ball, but I have zero interest in watching him bowl, especially on some of the older shows.

Storm I got one question how many national titles do you have?  I'm pretty sure WRW Jr might have one or two on you.

storm, not only is he the all-time winningest player in pba history , it's also a safe assumption that he's better at spelling.........

Walter Ray isn't the only one who has said something when someone or something distracts them. Let's be clear on that.

Storm, I will have to agree with you on this one.  I've been a fan of Walter Ray for awhile until I saw that game you were referring to on youtube (where he yells at the fan).  Ever since, I'm no longer a Walter Ray fan.  Norm Duke and Parker Bohn ftw!!!

I realize that you're only 17, I'm hoping that you're still in high school. I'm also hoping that you've got a few spelling/grammatical classes remaining to attend. If not, good luck in life with your current skills. Not making fun, just making a point of how bad your spelling and grammar abilities present themselves. If your posts here are any indication I wouldn't want to be reading your resume or job application.

As far as people leaving the site because someone makes fun of their spelling or grammatical abilities, well that is just b.s. Use the spellchecker, correct your grammatical errors and maybe the rest of your opinions will be better received.

Ok i respond saying hes a great bowler without a doubt.  Then i state my opinion on how he is in matches and in pro-ams hes very rude.  Not no need to be making fun of anyone on here, so Coleman dont know who you are but ok hes has more titles then i do, i agree, just stating hes rude. GREG HOPPE now making fun of me because i spelt something wrong.  Thanks you guys are really great and have obviously no life and have to make fun of someone for making a grammer error. Your self-esteem is probally soaring through the roof now.  Like you havent miss spelled something in your lifetime.  Yet again, sorry to not being perfect.   No wonder why people are leaving this site, its because of people like you.  Have a good night

Lane 1, I met Walter Ray and bowled with him at the US Open Pro Am. He posed for pictures signed autographs and was very nice. So I have met him. I was aware of his reputation based on what guys on here have written about him but my experience with him was a good one.

I don't know about you, but if I was bowling for a title, a large sum of cash, and pride too i guess? I would get mad by someone distracting me, especially if i miss. Heck i get mad on a regular day too, sometimes =D

Post by: Rileybowler on March 08, 2007, 05:26:32 PM
Some of you say that he is nice to talk to and bowl with others say that he is rude and not nice. I seriously doubt that everyone is nice all the time we all have our off days and perhaps some of you just caught him at the wrong time .

Im not WRW basher.  Yes, he is rude, no, he doesnt have any charisma.  However, he IS the best, whether u like his game, or his personality, there is no denying that not a single 1 of us could beat him over the span of 10-20 games.

Now, what ive seen when ive talked to WRW in person.  Its not actually how good or bad he bowls that affects his mood so much.  Its who beats him.

I went to a tournament 1 time & watched him for a few games.  He bowled parker bohn, shot like 170 & got torn apart that game by something like 60+pins.  He was fine after that, still not upset in any way.  2 games later he was bowling jason hurd, who at the time no one even knew about, & jason wasnt throwing the ball particularly well this game.  Jason shot 240 with 3 or 4 really lucky shots, while walted stone 8s in the 10th to lose.  After that he was PISSED, he said nothing about the stone 8, or the lucky shots, but he DID say something alongthe lines of "how did this fat fu#k beat me....".

Walter is VERY arrogant, he knows who "can compete" & who "cant" & gets MAD when those who "cant" beat him.

Im still a fan tho, because im pretty sure if i was dubbed "the greatest bowler to ever pick up a bowling ball", i would be a bit cocky myself.
