It's scary how fast time passes. Everyone looks so young here. Was 1997 really that long ago? There's the great Dick Weber still alive, Doug Kent, Steve Jaros, Pete Weber, Walter Ray Williams... all looking so much younger. My God, how time flies. Anyway, great video. Thank for posting.
I know what you are saying. I am 26 and life feels as if it is absolutely rushing past me. I am nowhere near where I want to be. That's life. '97 was ages ago and new generations of kids are growing up with entirely different views, indoctrinations, trends and sayings.
With what I saw in this game, it's no wonder that Pete Weber is a Legend...and his opponent isn't. This guy, whoever he is, doesn't seem to be very excited about what he was doing. He was just trying to get through a match...and that's it.
Pete always yells at and talks to the pins like they’re trying to evade him, which I find hilarious coz they’re completely stationary, ornate objects 😂
Nice crossover? I don't think I've ever thought or felt those words about a brooklyn strike. "Damn, I just lucked out on a crappy shot" is my standard reaction.
@bownguyen316 yup, this is the match before those two. You can easily find it in the Peter Weber vs Walter Ray Williams Jr. Legacy Collection Playlist on my main page.
its crazy how much important spares are now then they were back then. They could easily get away with opens. I cant even get away with that during highschool bowling.
Bowling is the sport with the smallest gap between professionals and amateurs. Random teenagers can go out an bowl 170+ on a Firday night, meanwhile these dirt bags are professionals and can't break 200.
Obviously, you don't realize that in some tournaments, a bowler may have to bowl over 50 games in a span of 3 days to make it to TV. Then when they bowl on the TV pair, they have flood lights on the lanes making the oil do funky things. It's disheartening for a pro to bowl all week and average over 210, just to come to the show, being watched by millions on TV and hundreds at the lanes, only to find the shot you had all week is not there anymore and you can only guess what to do. Unlike at the local bowling alley, where they put up the megawall shot where anyone can hook it back if they can hit an area the size of a basketball. Completely clueless.
@@bryantaylor2427 If a 170 house bowler played o that pair, they would have shot a 110 at best. These guys make no excuses - they know they had a bad game. Everyone in every sport has bad days. Doug's a great bowler, and he has a Major title, so I think one bad game on TV didn't hurt him too much, he beat out some 120 or so other pros to make the TV show. Tom Daugherty bowled a 100 on TV on his first TV show, and now he's a Major champion. So yo have to take the bad with the good...
@@louieatienza8762 Agreed, but all I'm saying is that the margin between average and best is smaller in bowling than in any other sport. Take baseball, for example. The average person couldn't even make contact with a major league fastball, let alone get a base hit. Even if the average person could score 140 bowling (which is pretty easy), that would be more than half as good as a professional bowler, and would be analogous to an average person batting .125 off of major league pitchers, which would be not only not easy, but practically impossible. Tennis, professional football, the list goes on and on. The average person couldn't even make contact with a 140 mph serve, and couldn't even withstand a single hit from an NFL player without crapping their pants. Meanwhile an average bowler . . . .
PDW maaaaaaan LOVE watching this dude!.....i wish i could have bowled against him back in the day! Doug chops the 2-8 in this vid too.... dude get a plastic ball!

That ain't no joke!
9 years later..
10 years now…
Rookie of the year 1980????? 😬😯😯😱
Dear Dick Weber. One of my first sports heroes. A class act.
His son is so very different style-wise and tempermentally.
People talk about millenials having bad personalities but baby boomers like Pete set us up for the fire.
Wether you hate or love Pete he had a legendary career and better than his dad
"Who do you think you are? I AM!"

No. They taunt you. Staring back at you. They get inside your head. They are...evil.
That's because he is an a'hole
I don't know who those pins thought they were, but Pete was.
Inanimate?
@@huverdoose ..they am
That Kent strike at the beginning is the best strike ever!
True kinda satisfying
Wow, looking at this you'd never guess Doug Kent would someday go bald.
Thank you for that laugh.
PDW maaaaaaan LOVE watching this dude!.....i wish i could have bowled against him back in the day!
I don’t like seeing stuff from the late 90s and being like damn that looks old or like it was from ages ago.
90s had great bowling
Nice crossover? I don't think I've ever thought or felt those words about a brooklyn strike. "Damn, I just lucked out on a crappy shot" is my standard reaction.
he's like that 5 ft tall neighbor that walks around with his chest out lmao
You wanted it you got it. You better deliver
i love when pete gets mad on tv
Wow Pete Weber has been bowling for a long time lol. 38 years
Went pro in 1979 I think
Doug Kent owns a bowling alley a town over from where im at. I bought a tropical storm black cherry for 15 bucks off him
Pause 1:31 - Who do you think you are!!?
I am!
Who do you Think you Are?! I AM
Pete is the Johnny Cage of bowling
@bownguyen316 yup, this is the match before those two. You can easily find it in the Peter Weber vs Walter Ray Williams Jr. Legacy Collection Playlist on my main page.
Carmen Basilio was from Canastota NY, Not Canandaigua. Unfortunately, Chris started to slip toward the end of the show's run.
0:35 That ball continuation ended on lane 37
1:17 Sounds like the announcer says Pete’s “coked up” at his home in Missouri. LOL!
Why am i getting flashbacks to the wii bowlong challenges
its crazy how much important spares are now then they were back then. They could easily get away with opens. I cant even get away with that during highschool bowling.
ndashadow11 the fact you compare your high school bowling to professionals is hilarious.
If ABC still aired stuff like this I'd actually watch that channel.
Pete Weber is the Earl Strickland of bowling for sure 😂😂😂
If feels odd having Bo Burton and Chris Schemkle as commentators and watching the ESPN logo on rhe top right part of the screen
Dick is such a class act, and Pete is such a , 'his fathers name.'
Peter Weber looks like he was battling the sauce here, not as much as in the 80s. Dick Weber is awesome. His son was definitely different than him.
Reckon these lads made good money over their careers? We don't have bowling in the UK really but Pete is a character
Yeah the 80s and 90s was big money for the top guys. 100-200k a year when they were hot
Who does Pete Weber think he is?
I am, thats who he thinks he is.
Bowling is the sport with the smallest gap between professionals and amateurs. Random teenagers can go out an bowl 170+ on a Firday night, meanwhile these dirt bags are professionals and can't break 200.
Not anymore and you got to understand the pros bowl on the hardest patters while they bowl on house patters

Pete always had that old man look 😂
DOUG KENT!!
EVEN IN '97 THOSE BALL RETURN PIN-INDICATORS DIDNT WORK!

He yelled at the pin hahahaha what did it say to ya Weber
Are you still celebrating the birth of Jesus
Dude looks like he is on a rage that needs his fix
Pete looks older than 34 here. I'm 35 and I look like I'm 21 lol
Mike C Yeah but he was an alcoholic and addicted to cocaine for a number of years. I imagine that would impact on his appearance.
I 35 and thought the same thing. I was addicted to alcohol and cocaine for a number of years too.
He's Pete Weber & you're not
1:13 - LOL!!!
rumor has it pete can impregnate women from across the room
Pete's going home to Tracy - jokes on everybody else
found pete's burner YT account
Pete was fried on the nose candy during this tournament but then again when wasnt pete coked up
"abc does it best" HA
PETE WEBER YOU'RE THE BEST PROFESSIONAL BOWLER FOREVER I'M A PROFESSIONAL BOWLER JUST LIKE YOU CHRIS HOCH
I’d love an UFC match with Pete. Dude needs to be humbled.
Nah
@@bigmike1114 Yah.
wohooo
doug had hair
Pete Weber should stop smoking and drinking and drink a lot of water so he is able to take a crap. Then he won't be so ornery.
I was paralyzed in a car crash in jan 98, times a killer
I am sorry to hear that but what does that have to do with anything
im not going to watch the video again to remember why I said that , your 3 yrs late bro
