Bowling on tv will never be the same without Chris and no miss those Saturdays watching bowling on ABC with Bo and Chris

[@cavalierfan1995]

saturdays as a kid in the 80s was super cartoons in the morning bowling in the afternoon didnt get any better than that

[@everettemathisjr3410]

@@cavalierfan1995 so very true we always talk about the old days how we enjoy our lives and we had no technology just a dime and a pay telephone and a beeper being black and growing up in government projects and we didn’t realize we were poor but we had the village and we all looked out for each other

[@tmazawey]

The PBA Tour with Chris and Bo was THE BEST!

[@Mario-cv5el]

The broadcast way better than todays tv product

Can't get Randy Pedersen to shut up for two seconds,and who is that idiot with him?It's unwatchable.

PDW still killin' it 33 years later.

[@vikings844]

@Reality He did? Amazing he almost won a tournament last year! He must have tendons made of steel to last as long as he did! Bowling as much as these guys do is very hard on the tendons and wrists! Amazing longevity! Topped by only Tom Brady in sports!

[@tynosille6747]

The fact he is still competing at 60 is amazing! Pete could bowl in any Era. That power combined with roll he definitely could've kept up with his dad in his prime.

[@jamesbomar3903]

Peter Dick Weenie has retired, thank goodness.......

[@gregorytrapp334]

Really cool coming out of a commercial break just before the Mark Roth pre game interview with Earth 🌍 Wind and Fire's In the Stone playing as background music 🎼 Way cool 😎👍

[@vanni9283]

8:35....NBC used that same music for Earl Anthony's "Beyond the Foul Line" segments in the fall of 1990!!!

[@erikknudson3077]

bowled against Murtishaw in so cal in the early 80's Great stuff!

[@nordattack]

If the resin era had never come and Pete could have kept throwing urethane, he would have 80 titles by now.

[@XenoGuru]

Even though Norm Duke is my favorite bowler, Pete Weber had the most gorgeous swing in bowling. Everything was picture-perfect except when he had an error on release

[@jesse75]

Or a bad attitude.

[@XenoGuru]

@Jesse That was all for show. Pete is a really nice person in real life. There was a reason he got the way he did: Professional Bowling began dying as a sport when Earl Anthony retired. The TV ratings were crashing. The PBA asked Pete if he could save it. He said (quote): "I can; but, you're going to let me do it my way." That's why in the 90s; the crowds made noise the entire time, the bowlers trash talked each other, ect. It made it very entertaining for spectators. But it was all in the name of saving pro bowling

[@jesse75]

@@XenoGuru think about it proves my point. Pete brought the trash in the house. Just like when Steve Largent left football, so too when Anthony left bowling.

[@B.Piercesports]

​@@XenoGuru Pete a honorary michaigander. We love him here. My buddy had him hanging last fall smoking weed lol.

I love how bowling is always in my recommended now bc my accounts signed in on all the tvs in my house. My dad watches this lol

[@MrVegasdeuce]

That Columbia Yellow Dot was a heck of a ball back in the day...

[@everettemathisjr3410]

Yes it was i average 195 to over 200 with that ball it was a incredible ball

[@edwardranno7119]

That is what I used to win a lot of amateur tournaments

[@denniskavanagh4587]

It's weird seeing Pete Weber only 24 back in 1987. Seeing him now he's almost 50.

[@paulchapman7838]

Pete Webber working that Purple Angle lol! When I saw that ball I knew I had went through the KZbin time machine.

[@1USACitizen192]

These guys were much better than todays "pros".

[@DuvalRypr]

@Reality you’re dumb as fuck. Great bowlers are great bowlers. If you don’t think Belmonte could adjust to yesterday’s game or tomorrow’s game, you’re a real idiot. There’s a reason guys like PDW were great in the 80s, 90s, and into the 2010s with MUCH improved technology. If Web can go forward with the times, a great bowler in today’s game would be able to adjust to a plastic or urethane ball on shitty outdated oil patterns.

[@1USACitizen192]

@@DuvalRypr Belmonte sucks. I don't care, can't stand the guy. 1980s PBA was the bestn in my opinion. And yes, I am sure I am smarter than you, which isn't saying much, but I am much smarter than you, dumbfuck. Lolol. Idiot.

I remember this... I watched it live with my dad... side note: short people make the best bowlers... they have such a low center of balance... its easier to post... and easier to repeat

[@edwardranno7119]

Pete’s got more side roll while bowling against mark roth,, he’s throwing the ball different every frame.and he still wins
