Varner doesn't get the recognition he so much deserves, Easily on the Mount Rushmore of Pool

[@jlobiafra]

Mosconi, Reyes, Strickland, harold worst. I don't think Varner is close. Great player but top four of all time? No way

[@trumanhw]

I'm with you Sikes. Carlos may have a retrospective bias. Talking about the absolute bests...no matter how phenomenal a player was... It can't be for just a few years or only within their discipline, but all games w $$ in them. Efren: All rotation games, 1P, 3c, Balkline (so good he was 86'd!!) and a 10 $$ player. Alex: All rotation games, 1P, snooker, 14.1...and absolutely for cash. SVB: May not be a Pinoy or old-timer...but he is unquestionable a living legend. And-yes, Nick had that kind of lifelong, interdisciplinary performance including for cash. Strickland's talent is undisputed but better suited to rotation games. Mosconi too was a specialist. It's somewhat not fair to them bc that was their era. But sorry.

@@trumanhw Earl and Archer could only play 9 ball, a very wise man told me over 25 years ago that I needed to learn how to play one pocket, I sure wish I listened to him

Nicely Played Nick.... 👍💪💯😊

I remember watching this match on tv!

[@jaypisme2343]

Nick is a gentleman and he is awesome

[@choward874]

Johnny just wasn't seasoned enough at this point. But he sure is now.

[@gavinhadley7672]

..wow what a call this doofus made. Nick was a couple of inches clear of the nine. Kinda makes you wonder....smh

[@trumanhw]

He's some Kraut idiot who's ultra-rule following I'd almost guarantee. Look at that blonde hair of "the master race." He'd do great with Ukrainska's Galician divisions.

[@jlobiafra]

Johhny archer looks like david byrne from the Talking Heads in that suit😂

[@YoDeNN]

What a terrible call on that foul on Nick. He was in absolute perfect stroke when he called that and was nowhere near fouling! Hope that ref was fired.

[@scottisitoro3953]

I heard Keyser Soze took out a contract on him...adios.

[@trple2]

Billy won the 9 ball championship??? VIDEO!!!

[@billysikes1374]

Billy never beat anybody, fact

Nick Varner is a real human. Real humans are great!

Johnny should have went for the 4 rail bank on the 9 in the first rack...

Varner was always the best when he was on and u can learn a lot from watching him play, the safety king. I always knew if Varner wasn't jumping up after he shoots, he's hard to beat but if he starts to jump, u can beat him. I would have told the Ref he needs some more glasses because I didn't touch the ball, I've played at the highest level u can play and if I touched it, I would have no problem. Ant noway he would foul me a I know I didn't touch it. What if that was a tie breaker, u mean 2 tell me, u can't challenge the reff because the camera doesn't lie. I hope the rules have changed and u can have it reviewed by the reff who called it and u can say I want it looked at and see where u said I touched it. I mean u can have a reff call anything and he's not even being held responsible for being wrong. I bet after this one Varner will go to someone who can have the reff put out and he should never be able 2 call fake fouls, he can barely see as it is but I would have never let it go as easy as he did, that's BS and everyone sees he didn't touch the ball, even the reff saw the replay. U mean he can't tell me he's sorry about that call because he knows he robbed Varner and that could break a players will to win because Varner had that easy and a reff takes it away but I would have lost it when he fouled me 2 times, he's playing with the game now, it has to be a rule change by now. They better be glad that's not Earl, I bet he would have broke his pool stick but he never needs to call a game. He's doing a good job of making it hard on Varner and I would never wear what Varner is wearing, I know he nervous now because he is having a war with 2 people, the player and the reff. What's the head man being called and he's not even letting him know, can I at least see where I touched it. If it works in the NFL AND every other sport, u have 2 make away for a player to challenge a call, he was the best in the world at the time and believe me, they don't foul when everything is on the line. I know what Varner was thinking, I've got to call some over this reff or he's going 2 give Archer the damn game and it has to stop now but if he doesn't do that, that Reffs going to keep doing it, Varner should be 2 games ahead and he's been robbed. That's why they want show nobody. Brings u back to when the NFL would mess a call up and u see the replay and it was a td and nobody could change it but it was changed because a reff is human and he can help another player or team, it's been so long, hopefully they do have it where u can challenge the reff and if ur wrong then u can see but nobody sees him foul but one person can, Earl really would have lost it after this one and the whole crowd would have known what was coming

[@YoDeNN]

OMG another foul on Nick?! One hundred percent was not a foul!!

[@adamalva2911]

Hopefully that ref was fired directly after this match and never did another match ever again

[@aFriendlyPest]

32:55 he absolutely did NOT foul the 4.

[@jpaschl]

Yea this ref is pretty bad

[@2869may]

Watch the path of the 4 before the hit of the cue.... it was absolutely going to the rail. But it makes up for that really BAD call on the 9 ball...!

[@trumanhw]

Tell me that ref doesn't look like a rule-following german to you.

[@arnoldrantala4945]

BAD CALLS. 😮 NO FOWLS

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

I stopped watching this match after the horrific call by the ref. Too pissed off to enjoy the match now.

[@samphilipp4997]

That's some terrible lighting.
