 I truly loved watching women bowl again. But, the problem i have with this set up is that it cheapens the sport, dramatically. I mean, women's bowling, in a MALL with one lane, manual pin setters and a manual ball return. This is pathetic. It's kinda like setting something up for kids to do while their parents shop. I think this is a total blow, and shows a complete lack of respect for the women. They deserve more... MUCH more!!!!

I'm really torn about this whole thing.

I'm pissed not to see Michelle Feldman, Tennille Milligan (sorry if I killed your name tenten), and a host of others out there. I'm sure they were deemed "Not Marketable" by Killer B productions. The women on this show are a decent cross section, but there are too many big hitters missing in favor of pretty faces.

Yet on the other hand, if this event is able to drum up support for a new women's tour, would it be worth it?

A hard call on whether the ends justify the means here. I haven't made up my mind yet. I guess if they do end up getting a new tour out of this, then it might have been worth it. If not, then it's a shame that some of the best were missing from this & not given their due.

Here is an excellent article I found from the Las Vegas Sun.

Unfortunately they are doing what they have to do to get back on TV. Hopefully once the ratings come in for this exhibition they will get a chance to get a PWBA tour back.
