EDIT: the following is my unedited post; my views have since changed Makes it worse actually. PWJ (Petty Worthless Jackass), aka Pete Weber, thinks people watch bowling for his WWE-like antics and overall crybaby attitude. I can only speak for myself, but I'll watch bowling for moments and reactions like Mark Roth getting the 7-10 split. I don't watch bowling to see some spoiled, crackhead creep who thinks he is a heel wrestler, who in reality couldn't beat up an egg. Wearing gaudy gold chains and sunglasses indoors trying to look cool (or at least what he thinks is cool) is just pathetic. And that bitching about flash photography or people in the audience moving while he's performing what he thinks is his art... for God's Sake, grow up, grow some balls, and maybe grow some thicker skin! If I wanted to watch THAT kind of bullshit, then I would watch WWE. At least it's meant to be entertaining THERE.

The concentration and focus that goes into sport, and like he says the strike to win and the emotions of victory !!! Agreed, seeing and hearing him talk about it here is great. Some people just don’t get it, how when you are on the field of play of your choice there is that intensity level you need, and reach. But when it’s done, you can leave it on the field, that’s what I really enjoy about this clip. It’s like you are right there talking to him, thanks for this.

In the “fighting game community” (FGC), we call these moments, where a competitor earns a victory then celebrates, “pop-offs”.

Its the opposite for me. I used to like him a lot until I found out and watched how he belittled a child for moving. He is a professional. Bowling has a hard time getting real fans so you don't belittle them. If you can't bowl distracted then don't bowl and besides id be more distracted by that camera that was on the ball return it moved with you so you had to be distracted but to blame a kid because you missed a shot. Thats a bitch move. If I would have been there I would have heckled him till I got thrown out.

[@Ophiegasm]

I always took it as how you see in religions where a deity is referred to as "I am." Meaning Weber is like a god of bowling. So to me its like someone asking you "Who do you think you are?" and the response being "I am."....I think "I am" overthinking it but thats what its always sounded like and meant to me. Pete Weber is definitely godlike in PBA. Its always a blast watching him bowl.
