Pretty Boy Floyd is from Michigan. Back in the 60s and 70s the auto industry provided a very good living and a house cost 20k or so. These guys had alot of disposable income. There was a ton of money floating around the midwest pool scene back then.
His pool table is in the Cue club in Las Vegas now R.I.P. Jimmy I have met Eva it's Eva Lorance I think now. Jimmy was one of the best 9 ball players in the country in his time. He was in the movie The color of money in the 80s Steve and Jimmy
Unfortunately pool hustling is a very dangerous prospect. Most top pros that were hustlers before generally have a bad story to tell. Such is a knife to the throat done to the head, Left for Dead type stuff. The lucky ones jumped out of a bathroom window or made an escape somehow.
That would certainly be a clash of titans. I’d like to think they’re both up there right now in Jesus’ pool hall, sinking trick shots and pranking Danny Medina for all eternity.
Do YOU like it when your hot Swedish wife divorces you and takes your triple Barracudas? I don’t! At least I think I don’t, never happened to me! -Jimmy Mataya probably.
What has the world come to when the Striking Viking, the trick shot QUEEN of Sweden, is reduced to a mere featured extra in an instructional tape on pool?! Jimmy should be ashamed of himself, Ewa was good to dump him.
I still think that’s such a interesting move. Casts his wife (who is arguably just as talented a pool player as he is) as an extra, sits her in the darkness in the background, then gives her top billing to sell the tape. I figured she’d have a segment in this! What a rip off, I could be watching the Striking Viking showing off her stuff! Shameful. And yes, rest in peace Jimmy.
A few people have pointed out that Jimmy cast his pool expert wife as an extra lol. I think it’s even stranger he included her billing and bio on the box considering when you look at it, she’s not technically “featured”. More like, she was “there when they shot it”.
Pool Hustling as portrayed here is not really a thing these days. There are so many strong unknowns playing over a 700 fargo these days, its just guys gambling at this point.
@@tapegoat fargo rate is a global ranking system for pool players ( like a batting average)There are usually only a handful per region that play over a 700 speed if there is more than one at all. I'm not understanding the joke you are making and I apologize. I have never "hustled" pool however between 18-25 I paid my bills and bought cars with the money from the pool table.
@@LordDelaware115 no worries at all! Honestly, I appreciate your sincerity in educating me on how pool ranking works, levity aside. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Moment of silence for Jimmy
1950-2024. Rest easy
Respect.
He'll make into a real floydster! R.i.p.
Every time a 9 ball sinks, a floydster gets his cash.
"I'm tryyyyiiinnnn', baws...I'm tryyyyyinnnnn."
Why don’t you take care of yourself, why don’t you stay off the wine?
😂 Such a hilarious scene.
RIP Jimmy "Pretty Boy Floyd" Mataya 1950 - 2024
PBF was super funny and cool. He would never send you away. He would listen to you ever word you said.
That’s some academy award level sh-t man.
Thanks for reminding me how broke I am, Jimmy.

That’s fascinating and an interesting point. I’m guessing nowadays…not so much haha.

The Humble Goat gag got me, great channel [O=O]
Yo Mikey! You are most welcome here in my GoatGang.
@@tapegoat Woooooo made it to the Goat Cave!
the stare that sweaty guy gives Jumbo Laya at 14:09 feels like the end of Kubrick's 2001
This man has truly seen things and it has wreaked havoc on his health.
Ewa was cut for time because time is cash, baby, and cash is king and Pretty Boy Floyd is all cash and he's the King
And the King, the King is cash, and if cash is the King, Jimmy is the queen. And the Queen is King! So Jimmy is cash…which is King!
He's hustling in heaven now... or hustling somewhere else 😀
If I know Jimmy like I think I do, that somewhere else is Gary, Indiana.

But can he beat uncle phil? "Jeffrey, break out lucille"
That would certainly be a clash of titans.

"I'm not happy when I lose and cry and pee myself-I MEAN...err-I don't ever lose...so-I wouldn't know how that feels...😏

-Jimmy Mataya probably.
I knew a guy who would go to the Mexican bars and hustle them until he was murdered. Ain't worth it, just play for fun.
He never lost his cash because he has stakehorses put up the money.
Oh snap! SCANDAL!!
He's playing poker with Steve Mizerak.
Glad you were paying attention! 2:01
@10:26 we see Ewa Mataya in the background, so she is definitely in the movie!

Ewa Mataya was sitting at a table in the bar...RIP Jimmy

10:47 - The blonde at the bar behind Jimmy may very well be Ewa.

Well jeez a 700 Fargo sure is a lot! I bet I’m barely 4 clicks above a 200 Bismarck!

It's like an essay written by a 10 year old
I know right!? I mean “he blowed his cool”. C’mon!
Bahhhhhhh!! =(
The OG Andrew Tate
Bet he’s got triples of the Barracuda.
