I’d say, among many sports snooker is something that feels reasonable with the prizes amount. It uses mind creativity, stamina, emotional control and precision of actions and most importantly - nearly chaotic outcomes with every single frame being unique, all at once. Arguably no other sports can propose that combo.
There one thing missing in this video. As you put Pot Black in the video you did not put the Snooker GameShow Big Break in it. Big Break is also makes what Snooker makes it more for the people getting into Snooker aswell.
I may be wrong but I'm sure I read somewhere that in the early days the World Snooker Championship worked rather differently than now, with the reigning Champion not having to play at all until the final (in other words all the other players competed to play the Champ, a bit like in Boxing to this day). That would, of course, put Joe Davis's dominance in a quite different light as he would obviously be absolutely fresh going into the final whereas his opponent would have had to play several matches in a short period and would likely be more tired mentally and physically. I do wonder if we had the same rules today whether somebody like Ronnie O'Sullivan would now be in a similar position, having been unbeaten in a World Snooker Final for decades.
@@ahj137 You're wrong. I was talking about Ronnie beating Judd at the 2022 world finals, Not 2020. He beat Kyren Wilson in 2022. The Kyren Wilson that leads Judd 4-1 in finals. Ronnie owns Kyren 3-0 in finals. Absolute fact 👍
Everything has been turned into a spectacle. Every winter I'd go to the NAMM show with fellow musicians and it was about the music and it was cool and we'd hang at the bar with other musicians, some well known, and have a blast. Now it's this corporate over the top everything with $18 well drinks. Truly pathetic and I'm done with it. Seems snooker might be heading in the same direction.
Maybe not the best choice of footage at 0.20 to illustrate your point! Out of all the players in the game one would have thought there was a better choice available than a woman beating match fixer
Eight of the last 12 world championship have been won by the greatest player of all time Ronnie O'Sullivan & the second greatest player of all time Mark Selby. They won 4 titles each ( 2012-2024) Little Judd Trump 1 World title in 2019 ( 2005-2024) The standard is too high for little puffJudd .

@@EnglishpuffWayne Utter Rubbish and a sacrilege to compare a condescending mug like Stephen Hendry with the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan . Was it yips that Ronnie leads Hendry 9-4 in the 13 finals they played? Hendry just could not retire graciously! Was it a bad cue that Marcus WHITEWASHED 28YO Hendry 9-0 in 1998? Hendry won only because he had to contend with Davis & Jimbo bottler white! Ronnie had to deal with Wilson, Selby, Higgins, Williams , Murphy , Trump the list goes on and on. He was a good player for the opponents he had to face then like Davis & Jimmy who would be slightly above average player in today's era. So in conclusion if Hendry had any of the above mentioned to deal with he would have won far less or any..

Correction 11:35 . Ronnie did it in 2020 and not 2015.
No it was at the 2022 World finals that Ronnie beat Judd, Not 2020
