Back when Michael Smith had mental strengh 😅

Kevin Munch?

Leon Westhoff Kevin munch v Adrian Lewis you could say that yes

[@mmggmm178]

@@leonwesthoff7879 Jamie Lewis hit 69 180s in his run to the SFs, so it was an upset but Wright couldn't cope with such an amazing power scorer like Lewis was at that period. Munch one was a true upset because he is almost a nobody in the world of darts while Adrian Lewis is a 2 time world champ. The greatest upset of all would have been Eidams vs Van Gerwen, but didn't happen.

Why do i get tears of emotions watching this?😊👌

[@matthewseller3711]

My Top Picks for the 2020 world championship are Peter Wright Gerwen Price MVG and Gary Anderson. Great games to come

Barney over MVG in 2016 not being on here is very strange to me.

[@Jamaleum]

The best game of darts I have ever seen. MvG - Cross gotta be 2nd.

[@MilanOskam]

Jamaleum MVG Cross was better I think. Just the tension of that match and going to the sudden death leg. MVG should’ve won that match by the way, missing 6 match darts. Unbelievable match.

[@JoEnUtZ23]

Even ando vs Phil Taylor 2015 final.

[@MilanOskam]

JoEnUtZ23 that was not really a shock. I’m not saying that it was obvious Ando was gonna win that final but if you look at Anderson’s performances throughout that WC 2015 than you could say that Anderson had a pretty good chance against Taylor in that final. And he won it 👍

[@leightonsmith-raynes9143]

Whilst Barney was an underdog to MVG wouldn't call that as big of a shock as these, Barney is 4 times lakeside champ and a pdc world champ people aren't as surprised when he beats a big name compared to the likes of Jamie Lewis and Kirk Shephard

[@vlogstar6255]

I’ve seen this type of video a million times

[@davidc7475]

Michael smith was hardly that big a shock considering even back then he would have been known to have great potential in the game. What about an unknown Bill Davis beating defending champion John part in round one 2009 I think. And alcinas beating Wright last year a bigger shock than lewis beating him year before, again lewis had known ability

[@anthonymatute6057]

Gabriel Clemens beat Wright in 2021 and that too was a huge upset

[@matthewseller3711]

2019 Kim Hydenbekes beat Rob Cross. What a shocker

Wade v Suljovic 2011?

[@Jackpot77777]

What happened to KIRK Shepard after that final loss to John Part ??!!

[@jameskillbot2867]

Still has four card and could pop off again.

[@anthonymatute6057]

He still plays darts though he’s rarely seen in tv nowadays…

[@anthonymatute6057]
