EnigmaZero, That was a fantastic Upload of the Stepladder Finals of the 1989 ABC Masters. Also, Did you enjoy the Dramatic Finish in the Semi Final Match Between Norm Duke and Mike Edwards?

EnigmaZero, Do you have the Columbia 300 Open from 1989?

[@enigmazero8624]

I’m not sure. The rest of my tapes are not labeled.

Thank you so much for the upload, old ABC masters shows in the huge arenas were the best man. really shows what bowling used to be

[@enigmazero8624]

In hindsight it’s crazy to me that the Masters used to be televised separately from the actual PBA Tour television contact, often on more obscure networks. I realize that the Masters was not (and still is not) a PBA event, but that still seems so strange to me. Before 2008 it wasn’t even considered a PBA title. So guys like Doug Kent and Rick Steelsmith won the Masters and then 5-10 years later won their “first” PBA title, or someone like Steve Wunderlich retired having “never won a title” even though he won the Masters and is now credited as being a PBA champion. When Earl Anthony died he officially had 41 titles and now he has 43. Those inconsistencies drive me nuts.

Please don’t post the results in the comments. People complain about it.

​@@enigmazero8624This guy does this on like EVERY bowling video in existence. I HIGHLY recommend blacklisting him completely from commenting.

[@enigmazero8624]

@@NateCraven318 I don’t even know how to do that nor do I really want to be that much of a dictator. I figured I’d start by politely asking.

@enigmazero8624 Fair enough I suppose.

Durbin and Randolph commentating together just feels so off. I'm just do used to Randolph commentating with Earl

[@enigmazero8624]

I loved Durbin as a commentator. He could work with anyone and I’d prefer it to the alternative.

nice to see Jay on a ESPN event i rather listen to him than John Fanta any day of the week

[@enigmazero8624]

John Fanta is absolutely insufferable

@@enigmazero8624 agree 100% he super annoying and knows absolutely nothing about the game of bowling and even worse i even heard a rumor randy cant even stand him he just acts like he likes working with him for the Camera i really hope he wont be commentating the event im going to in September i hope if rob not able to do it they have Dave Lamont do it i wish Dave Ryan would do it but i guess he is not doing fox events no more since he hasn't been on all this season with the exception of the tour finals of course because thats cbs

[@enigmazero8624]

Dave Ryan is no better. I heard he’s a super nice guy which is cool but he knows nothing either; he just makes sure to hit all the talking points someone wrote for him. I don’t even like Randy as a commentator anymore. We need some new blood.

@@enigmazero8624 we need norm duke back in the booth regularly like back in the 06-07 season every time norm on its always a great event
