why did bill not even tried, he dominated the whole qualifiyng, why did he fix the final match on purpose to give anthony the win by a huge score? why did bill fix the match?
I watched a 17 yr old Pete's debut on TV. You can see the deflating emotions on his face now....this makes me realize how old I'm really getting 😔. Thanks for the years of memories, brother. You've earned e everything you're experiencing.
Great tip by Chris Via..A few years ago last time nationals was in Vegas he was bowling next to me for the bowlers journal..We talked with Chris for a good hour and he sat there patiently and respectfully talking with everyone..HE IS A VERY GOOD AMBASSADOR FOR THE PBA and a great young man..
Been getting back into PBA and bowling myself lately after like 10 yrs. PBA seems to still be doing good which is good. So many bowlers I don't even know. When I watching I was seeing Walter Ray, Duke, Weber, Bohn, Couch, Tommy Jones, Patrick Allen, Scroggins, Machuga, Mika, Barnes, Wiseman, Malott, Rhino, Voss and a personal favorite of mine Mike Wolfe...has a shop in the bowling center I used to bowl at...and getting back into now. I hope those guys and many more still bowl. Those were the good days. I used to mimmick these guys styles in Wii Bowling...too hard to do in real life, and be good at it.
@@LynnEdwards-sl7jd well I used to bowl 5 pin competitively when I was a kid, so maybe that helped. I had no clue 150 was a high score.I could of gotten more but hit a few splits and I had no idea how to spare those. all I can do was throw it to hit the middle xD
That 299 game PDW had at the Great Lakes Classic I believe is the first game he bowled with sunglasses on indoors. He started wearing them at the outdoor tournament at The Villages earlier that year.
I went and watched Friday morning and Simo was struggling, and he wasn’t alone. Seeing him go from struggling to winning was fantastic. Congratulations!
i keep saying that AJ's too fast on TV, hopefully he gets it next telecast. I love Simo's strat, dont have to do much, this pattern is not a carry contest, just KISS, keep pocket and watch the others fall.
Thank you for posting these now and so shortly after the show. I will gladly watch ads and buy from your advertisers if you continue to post these since I don’t pay for cable.
yes but the rerun dosent have ads in betweenj ust the ones we hear during show im asenior idont use tv and pay 12 internet maybe they are stopping that federal aid credit
@@LynnEdwards-sl7jd Yeah. The substance issues he had 30 some years ago was no joke. Think there was a show where he was clearly under the influence of something, was sometime during the mid to late 1990s. I thought he was gonna retire then.
Stinks that a pocket 7-10 cost EJ the match. Still having a great year and Simo is a deserving champion after that run to get into the TV finals. PBA has been epic this year!
Have to admit I was wrong about John Fanta. I didn't really like his style at first, and his hyperbole was over the top initially, but.. he has learned the little details quite quickly and today I thought he did much better. The chemistry between he and Randy is improving both of them.. that's something I didn't picture myself saying a few weeks ago. Nicely done.
Fox Sports, Thank you for uploading the Stepladder Finals of the Pba Pete Weber Missouri Classic. Also, Keep up the good work on the uploads especially the events from the 2024 season on the Pba Tour.
Thanks for the instant upload of this exciting yet emotional show! Just to clarify, in 6:24, is Renee Tom's wife or Pete's wife? What happened to Tracy?
@@rogerrosen2323 I know that Tracy was his third wife. It would make sense that PDW is now married to Renee since Tracy didn’t show up and Renee was sitting next to PDW but not Tom Clark.
Whenever the 10-pin stays, it is usually because the ball has hit the 3-pin in a way that it waves around, and therefore misses the 10-pin, ricocheting off the right pin wall in the process.
3:32 3-6-7 split conversion... 16:57 3-6-7-10 split conversion... 1:06:03 First 2-4-10 split... 1:09:27 Really, back to back 2-4-10 splits on the left lane?!!
Gotta love it. That’s bowling though. Right out the gate, Simo perfect shot, & stones it. Where AJ not a great shot, probably didn’t even barely touch the pocket yet rolls all of em. 🤷♂️ 😢
THANKS PETE. The GLOVE and SUNGLASSES mixed with your INTENSITY was the reason a started Bowling. Hats off too everyone involved with this EVENT. GO SPRINGFIELD MO🥳
@@1USACitizen192 yeah including some real crushing victories. I remember Walter just loved crushing Pete too. Oil patterns never mattered to WRW because of his style an all timer is Walter Ray.
Can see how much EJ wanted to win this one. More than the Open I think. Unfortunately I wish he had stuck to his big line to the pocket. His straighter lines of late don’t seem to be working imho.
@@sethl5451 I dont think it is allowed. From my understanding of at least USBC rules, is you are not allowed to put ANY substance/liquid on your ball once your first game of a league or tournament day starts. That means no spray cleaner, water, or any surface changes. I got a warning for it last year when I went to clean my all in league.
@@MetrohMan bowling has luck, which is why it isnt considered a sport by many... the luck factor is very high, and controlling conditions lane to lane is incredibly difficult to make it truly fair.
@@MetrohMan hey man, its an opinion. No need for the name calling. The reasoning for and against bowling being a sport are sound. I understand both sides of the argument. There is a reason bowling has been denied entry into the Olympics. It is because of the luck factor being abnormally high in bowling, but also, because playing conditions are incredibly hard to manage from lane to lane. With topography, oil, pin spotters, etc.. There was an issue with this last year, where certain lanes at one house were brutal, and if you were unlucky enough to get put on those pairs, your score suffered and it caused people to miss the cut. Things like this happen a lot in bowling, and I do indeed understand the argument about maintaining equal fairness and how hard that is in competition bowling.
technique he has always used taught to him by his father. It is kinda an old-school technique now. A lot of people started doing it in early 2000's... Kinda faded out like 10 years ago.
To the gym guys... The sport is about removing variables. How much you can curl, is a variable. How can you control the speed of the ball, while you get stronger?
What was your favorite moment from the PBA Peter Weber Missouri Classic?
why did bill not even tried, he dominated the whole qualifiyng, why did he fix the final match on purpose to give anthony the win by a huge score? why did bill fix the match?
@@foxwolf316 Bill didn't "fix" the match, kid.
My Favorite Moment was when The Video Of Pete Weber Winning the Firestone Tournament of Champions . Truly The G.O.A.T.👍👏👏👏👏
🤨 I think Pete should of dropped his own handing it to Simo. He really missed a moment.
My Favorite Moment from the Pete Weber Missouri Classic was the Semi Final Match between Anthony Simonsen and E.J. Tackett.
Props to Bowling Planet for twisting the PBA or Fox's arm to upload the tournaments ASAP.
You couldn't be more right lol
Thought exactly the same!! And they got to for the future coming!
Ye
Ever since they copyrighted bowling planet they post these full broadcasts hella quick
And we love that
yeah he really paved the way for fs1 to realize what the youtube fans want
They earned my Sub because of it!
This is Fox Sports Channel though, not Bowling Planets Channel though no?
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you to Bowling Planet and the bowling community for letting Fox/PBA know how much we love the sport by uploading these. ❤❤
This is Fox Sports Channel, not Bowling Planets Channel though no?
EJ vs SIMO was probably the most intense of all these games.
And a great job by two great commentators, of setting us up for a great 10th frame.

EJ and Simo are always must watch TV
Seriously thank you for uploading these quickly
yes we can still see a bit later also if we didnt see live
Pete Weber, you are an inspiration to me…and millions of other bowlers around the world.!Got bless!
Fox, thank you so much for uploading these now.
Thank you, Pete! A legend like no other.
Let go and go AJ Johnson brilliant

While this tournament was playing, I was also bowling a tournament, qualifying to the finals and getting 4th place!
Next time 3rd then 2nd and then the win man. Keep it up.
@@dsnduncie Thank you!
Congratulations
@@robertcostabile3350 Thank you! All in a days work, can't win them all, can't lose them all!
Awesome win Simo. Pete you the man.
This Simonson guy is the best bowler / good sport combo in the league ! Dave
Yo! Fox!!!! Thank you for the quick upload again! 👍
Thank you for uploading these so quickly now Fox.

Pete was hammered.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
Isn't he always?
I think that's just his personality. Likely autistic. Hilarious and completely natural, organic moments though.
He definitely seemed like it. Lol. He was stammering something fierce during the trophy presentation.
Just bowled 10 pin for the first time in my life. got like 50 first game then 150 next. its so fun
So much more satisfying hooking that big heavy ball, than whipping a little stone and praying lol
eh growing up with it u learn to enjoy 5pin lol as a canadian but i understand imo both are fun @@playdiscgolf1546
You got 150 your second time bowling 10 pin? That's insane lol. There are pros that have bad games and don't even get 150 or only get close to it.
@@LynnEdwards-sl7jd well I used to bowl 5 pin competitively when I was a kid, so maybe that helped. I had no clue 150 was a high score.I could of gotten more but hit a few splits and I had no idea how to spare those. all I can do was throw it to hit the middle xD

19:09 “looking for his fir- 🗣️APRIL 25, 1987 TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS🗣️”
Thanks for posting. Loved the show!
Pete looks like his health might be declining. I hope he gets well and stays healthy. He's a BOWLING LEGEND.
Pete is getting old and no one beats father time.
@@royplayer He's only 61, but he's lived a hard 61 years.
@@LynnEdwards-sl7jd Yeah. The substance issues he had 30 some years ago was no joke. Think there was a show where he was clearly under the influence of something, was sometime during the mid to late 1990s. I thought he was gonna retire then.
Gonna miss Pete for sure on the Pba tour!!!!
he is still in seniors they said not the main ones maybe air on bowl tv or whatever
@@rogerrosen2323 dude I meant national due even though the word isn’t there. I know he hadn’t 100% retired
So Simonsen is the Tackett killer (37:15) and Prather is the Belmo killer ( Prather is 5-0 all time vs Belmo on TV) 🤔
Now Kyle Troup is the Prather killer since 2022 playoffs and 2023 tour finals 4-0.
Ej clutched up but there’s no better successor to Pete Weber than Anthony Simonsen
I really hope EJ will win again this season, I really felt like he had the match well in hands.
It was a great event to be at in person.
Pete had a few beers, lol
So??? Lol he's earned it!!
@@mikemalone5836 Same ol Pete....
i think pete had a few before the show!!!
Pete been drinking again?😂
For sure. He was hammered.
I remember the moment PDW yelling at the heckler, also winning the tournament yelling “Who do you think you are? I am!”

Thanks for the instant upload of this exciting yet emotional show! Just to clarify, in 6:24, is Renee Tom's wife or Pete's wife? What happened to Tracy?
i can remember pete had a few wives back in the abc tv days i think they said the lady sitting next to him renee
@@rogerrosen2323 I know that Tracy was his third wife. It would make sense that PDW is now married to Renee since Tracy didn’t show up and Renee was sitting next to PDW but not Tom Clark.
Pete and Tracy "split". Renee is the new woman. However, I'm unsure if he and Renee are divorced and/or if he's married to Renee.
58:00 Who is the lady with Pete? Is he not still married to Tracy?
Simo is a legend 🔥
Welcome to the modern age FOX
12:44 made me twitch🫣
Bill hasn’t aged a day
Simonsen's a good bowler and a good sport ! He's fun to watch .😅😊
Simo not my favorite bowler but he’s got some serious talent
Matt Russo is the bowling lovechild of EJ Tackett and Jesper Svensson lol
Whenever the 10-pin stays, it is usually because the ball has hit the 3-pin in a way that it waves around, and therefore misses the 10-pin, ricocheting off the right pin wall in the process.
3:32 3-6-7 split conversion...
16:57 3-6-7-10 split conversion...
1:06:03 First 2-4-10 split...
1:09:27 Really, back to back 2-4-10 splits on the left lane?!!
Gotta love it. That’s bowling though. Right out the gate, Simo perfect shot, & stones it. Where AJ not a great shot, probably didn’t even barely touch the pocket yet rolls all of em. 🤷♂️ 😢
THANKS PETE. The GLOVE and SUNGLASSES mixed with your INTENSITY was the reason a started Bowling. Hats off too everyone involved with this EVENT. GO SPRINGFIELD MO🥳
Pete Weber looks bad! Mental problems too! Alcohol did most of this! Sad!
Anyone else like ‘table for 1’ at the 41:00 mark?
Didn't notice Rob was not there until end
55:28 definition of clutch
I hate on Two-handers because I'm 67. More power to them in controlling that beast of a release. Gotta get my👍quicker. 😂
Show up to a tournament with 24 bowling balls and never make a change in the telecast is wild
So nice to not hear Dave Ryan saying 60ft to success or wow, incredicle, these bowlers are really somethin Randy over and over again.
Well hope Rob Stone is back
Ej Tackett and his 3-6-10s lol 48:59
Lol I was thinking of your video when he left it!
I saw your vid on that lol
2023 PBA TOC?
PDW💯👌👍👏👏👏👏
37:45 If you're Tackett's #1 fan, you might wanna check the spelling on his name while making a pretty sign.
Thanks, Bowling Planet.
Thanks Bowling Planet
Last frame, Simonson and the announcer goes referring to Pete Weber as the goat really
Yeah Pete is NOT the GOAT
@@bnegs521 Walter ray is something like 20-1 against peter on television.
@@1USACitizen192 yeah including some real crushing victories. I remember Walter just loved crushing Pete too. Oil patterns never mattered to WRW because of his style an all timer is Walter Ray.
Can see how much EJ wanted to win this one. More than the Open I think. Unfortunately I wish he had stuck to his big line to the pocket. His straighter lines of late don’t seem to be working imho.
When bowling gives you Brooklyn's you make brooklynade.
You'd think at the highest level they could get a stick to assist in clearing the dead wood.
Lay off the sauce, Pete.
Anybody else think that Pete had been consuming some adult beverages? He seemed a little different in his interviews.
Pressler in that dress - oh my
No way AJ Johnson just put up that legendary stinker 😭
Fixed.
That’s right!!!!
Am I the only who doesn't like the stepladder format? I feel always the #1 seed tends to have some sort of disavantage.
weber is kinda passing the torch to simonsen which is just phenomenal
Belmonte has the torch to begin with and is as of right now the greatest bowler ever. Not pete
Weber walked so Simo could run haha
When it rains, the humidity inside buildings increases the same as it does outside. The concept is really not that hard to understand, Randy.
Did no one see Simo put water on his shamy while waiting to bowl?? Honestly should pay more attention to those things.
Time was 1:12:05
I did see that. Is there an explanation of what he was doing it for?
@@playdiscgolf1546 It's the equivalent to putting rubbing alcohol on your shamy it get rid of oil on your ball and allows it for have more friction.
Is it not allowed?

I rather have a GUTTER BALL then a SPLIT! You have a better chance at a SPARE!
Classic example of losing a lane @Bill O'Neill. Almost impossible to win.
Johnson should have told Pete to stop talking and moving? Towards the end😂😂
