People trash talk because it works. I needed an open, intimidated my rival, and his miss got me my first title. Whenever they award the Cosmic Glow Bumper Trophy, they'll see my name on it and not that loser Billy.
@@TraumaER There was no heckling. He kept saying someone was moving on his approach. The commentators said they have no idea who he's talking about. They speculated it could have been a kid but never saw a thing. We're probably thinking of different events.
@@RinslerRR well considering he threw his rosin bag across the center during the Senior US Open PBA50 this week in the TV finals, it may have been a different event LOL!
@@bobsmith-y3jsometimes tough scoring conditions makes for cream rising to the top. On a great scoring pattern it becomes more about the carry. No pin carry one gets left in the dust. The game is not suppose to be easy.
“I’m knocking, I’m Knocking” knocking on heaven’s door by Patrick Allen (after bowling with him at a pro-am in person back in 2008) over Jason Couch. Lefties bashing each over.
There was just always something going on with Belmo in his prime years. In one match against AJ Chapman a tournament official whispered something to Belmo to which he responded “can you prove that?” I always wondered what that was about.
ESPN tried so hard to create a rivalry between Belmonte and Rash. They even created an event catering to it. But when interviewing each during the event, both talked about how there wasn't really a rivalry. They had an issue and moved on. They weren't friends. But there was no real rivalry. At least, neither Rash nor Belmonte thought so.
The Belmo bottle incidents are laughable to be talked about today,the guy is the most hydrated bowler ive ever witnessed,even since from moving on from crinkley bottles,like the guy drinks every time he sits down,all you have to do is watch him to realise it's just something he does that's weird as shit imo,but i wont kink shame
I have no issue with a veteran touring pro saying two handers are crap. If they didn't absolutely flood the lanes now, two handers wouldn't even be able to keep the ball on the lane. Belmonte was also a jackass when he came into the PBA. He was in fact fined numerous times for some of the things he did with his water bottle and his towel.
Here's how Bo Burton & Chris Schenkel would've reacted to trash talking: Chris: Well, Pete Weber seems to be agitated. Bo: I read his lips, and that's the language you leave in the locker room
Not surprising. I have to imagine that after a certain point in his career, Belmo probably had a massive ego and could get away with some shifty things.
It's amazing how it's always Belmonte getting the other bowlers angry. Can't say I blame them. Nowadays the (comparatively) younger bowlers all seem like they could easily just hang out together. Maybe that's why shows from the 2000's and before felt like they had more impact. Not to say I don't like them all being friends and getting to go on RU-vid channels with each other. I really enjoy something like EJ throwing 6 pound balls with Packy or getting like 6 of them together to have fun trying different styles. Then again, the old trick shot challenge shows were some of the best shows and were chill so I guess it's just more that this might've always been how the bowlers are with each other outside of TV but their off-lane existence is more prominent in the greater community.
Barnes is such a sore loser. I went to at least one finals show every season between 2001 and 2010 and saw him at more than a handful of them, most which he didn't win. When he loses, he lets the fans take photos with them and signs their stuff yeah, but he doesn't give them any genuine attention. He's either so pouty or he's constantly talking to someone about what he did wrong in the show, pretty much ignoring the fans or not even looking at them when he takes their stuff to sign. There's a reason why fate hasn't given him the kind of success I'm sure hes wanted in his career.
During my childhood, I was always watching the PBA. Specifically, telecasts toward the end of the 2006-2007 season. No matter whether I was home or at my grandmother's house about 35 minutes away, there would be several events on one VCR tape. The second tournament on my VCR tape at home was the 2007 GoRVing Classic, and there was a moment of trash talk during the third match of the stepladder, which pitted #4 seed Parker Bohn III against #2 seed Jason Couch. Parker got a lucky strike in the 4th frame, tripping out the 3-6, and made a pose that to me reads as, "sometimes you just get lucky" in body language. Then Couch steps up on the right lane for his 4th frame and throws a solid strike, looked over at Parker, made the same pose, and said, "Real strikes! Real ones." Of course, the 5-year-old me wouldn't have known that this was a moment of trash talk, let alone any of the knowledge of oil patterns and ball selection I possess today as a 20-year-old. Nevertheless, this is the kind of trash talk that you want to see, friendly shots at each other that make the viewers laugh, unlike the other kind of trash talk, which is essentially unsportsmanlike conduct (ex. Pete Weber- 2012 US Open- "Who do you think you are? I am!!!"), and makes some viewers cringe.
Belmonte really does do everything he can to get under the skin of his opponents. His favorite is to cough or blow his nose during his opponent’s approach.
