Just when it looked like he was going to lose, he fought back and needed just one more strike to beat Patrick Allen and win the National Bowling Stadium Championship. He steps up on the right lane (Cheetah Pattern) and throws the shot, with title number 46 in mind….even if he 9-spares, they tie and go to a rolloff. Typical WRW, he's gonna win, right? WRONG!
The single sickest thing I’ve ever seen on TV when it comes to bowling. 13 boards of hook and a blowout 8-10, that’s the kind of thing that makes you stay up restless at night.
I think he was just as shocked as everybody else. You hardly ever see a pocket 8-10 anymore, especially under those circumstances and with that much angle.
That’s EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw that. In ’86 it was a bad shot. This time he really got bullshitted. And yeah, the announcers always scream too much now, I think.
lol yeah rough break, i have left the 8-10 a couple times years ago.
breaks my heart. poor walter. i was devistated to see that.
“OH MY GOD THATS A LOSER!!!!” I was laughing so hard! lol
take it walter! take it!
I bowling a tourny when i saw it, best part of the day!!
very true, even though the entry angle was similar, obviously this shot was dead on arrival, almost no drive thru the pins. throw in the half pocket hit, and youve got yourself an 8-10. finally, somebody else on youtube that understands the game and how its more than chucking it to the gutter and watching it peel.
Anytime I am having a bad day I watch this video and it makes me smile
@CAPTAINCALVES86 me…i love this tournament…is sad what happened here…me dio pena….but i really love Patrick Allen…and this title was for the best bowler in my opinion…….is my favorite tournament of 2009
Great commentating hahahaha. “OH MY GOD THAT’S A LOSER”
in my house, when someone hits a pocket 8,10 we call it “the walter ray”, believe it or not, on our light and and short oil, that split is very often
@stormBIGbowling No! WRW is awesome and PA too….no comparable. PA is one of the best bowlers ever and aww! the reaction is awesome…is surprise for him
@BlackHeartedPanda I think PA was just so shocked at that moment he forgot the pattern. Actually, you’d be more likely to leave the 8-10 on Shark than on Cheetah.
@cgsmitherine3 I’m sure Randy was referring to the 8-10 leave and not Walter Ray. A 47-time titlist isn’t much of a loser at all.
hahaha I don’t know about you guys, but i cracked up once we all realized we thought he got a strike but didn’t ha
I just bowled there last week, placed 4th with my dad (I’m 13).
To those of you wondering why he said “oh my god that’s a loser!”, it’s because he missed 2 pins and not just 1. Sure, he needs a strike to win, but if he got just 9, then a spare, they still tie.
So (assuming he converts the spare) it was either he gets 9 and they tie, or he gets a strike and he wins. Nobody was thinking he might get 8 and lose on that shot, but that was the case the moment he got 8.
So so heartbreaking
