Is Dennis older than Alex? I kind of thing they are both around 40? I know Alex has been on the US scene way longer, but was Dennis hidden away in the Phillpines during the late 90's early 2000's?
Edit, found it. Dennis was born in 1979, Alex in 1978.

Maybe it was his iron-grip handshake.
At least you didn't say it was his stripper name! Lol

That is too funny, have you ever shook hands with a Pinoy that grew up in the Philippines? Firm is not the first thing that comes to mind.
Is his surname correctly spelled Orcollo or Orcullo?
As far as his nickname goes the Cop part makes no sense. I don't think Dennis was ever a part of the PNP...had he been there would have been no need for him to play pool to make money.
Den-Den, Di-Den, Den-Dong, etc makes sense in Pinoy culture. Robocop, not so much.

Someone needs to change his nickname FOR SURE. I've heard some dumb ones before (most of them are) but "robocop"?! Really? C'mon
Yes, it was meant as a joke. Dennis is the King of fish-flop, when it comes to hand shakes.
Freddie posted an interesting article on Superman, regarding his name:

Superman? That is roberto gomez.
I thought at one time Dennis was the Superman.... maybe I drink mo tuch
Bottoms up.
Dennis is here now at my house resting for the next four days. He and Francisco came together last night after arriving at LAX. Francisco stays with Tony Torres and Dennis stays here.
IMO Dennis is one of the best players in the world. Like the other poster, there are at least ten guys who can win at any time. IMO Wu is the most talented of all of them. If he is playing a Rotation game against anyone I will bet on Wu.
Dennis has the respect of all the pool players. He is a fearsome competitor who plays great under pressure. He is one of the few top players who can win tournaments and is not afraid to mix it up in the back room. He doesn't care how big the bet is. He will play his best game regardless. True he has backers in the biggest money games (even Shane does), but don't think Dennis won't bet his own!
More importantly to me, Dennis Orcullo (the correct spelling. It was spelled Orcollo incorrectly on his first passport so he had to use that name) is a good man who is a very loyal friend (ask Justin or Skyler) and is genuinely concerned how you are doing. He is thrilled for me that I've found a woman I love and worries so much about my health that he brought a special tea for me to take.
I love my friend Dennis and I don't care if he ever plays another game of pool. Of course, for Dennis this is his job and he works hard at it. He comes frequently to the USA because it is near impossible for him to get a money game anymore in the Philippines. Here he can play tournaments and gamble as well. There is far more action for him here. Every time he makes money he immediately sends a good part of it home to support his family.
By the way, Dennis signed with Meucci after his contract with Tiger ran out (after six years). Bob personally made him a beautiful playing cue, a break cue and a jump cue. He loves his new cues and is playing well with them. I guess that's enough for now.

Thanks Jay. It's nice hearing about what a player is like as a person. Sounds like a good dude.
And Orcullo is pronounced OR COOL YOU.
Not OR CO YO.
And Dennis speaks 3 dialects plus English.
Congrats on Dennis's new cue deal.
If it's YO as in " YO Adrian, I did it!!!"
. Not a long O as OH .
O as in ooh.
OR COOL YOU.
Inquiring minds, would LOVE to know, which players game, Dennis has the most respect for. Someone mentioned him saying Shane, Bergman laughed about that claim....
