Corey is funny to me. I don’t think we need to judge players in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s all different from each other based on what was happening in the landscape at the time. To start the further back you go the less you see on Wikipedia. But also the level of international talent, which tours were active, what games were played, etc is all different. Can’t measure Corey by the same yardstick you measure Filler.
In favor of Corey is his influence on the game. Some might argue it’s borderline meritorious service. Because in my opinion he gets more credit than he deserves in the break. Pool has went through many 9-ball break formats.
With the Sardo Rack era, he definitely found the exploit for B1.1. But he’s not exactly the mad scientist that also solved B1.2, B1.3, or B2.1. So much has happened in the industry over the last 20 years on this front and he was more the godfather of this evolution than the perpetual disruptive that caused them to keep changing the rules every step of the way.
But I don’t entirely mind considering him just for who he was to the game in the early 2000s. It was game changing.

Preach! Speaking of the UFC, the same pool fan that will gripe about paying $90 or whatever the full derby city stream is the same person who will spend $70 or so on a UFC fight that is like 2-3 hours. We want pool to be treated like a sport, but then people don't support it like they do others sports. Makes no sense.Polarizing ? He asks questions and likes to learn new things. You only find him divisive because he’s not a liberal yes man and wants to think for himself. He’s not polarizing at all. He brings people on his show of all political agendas. Don’t be mad because the candidate you most likely wanted to vote for couldn’t sit down and have a conversation with someone without being told the questions or limiting what they could talk about lol she did two podcasts. One that aired was a disaster and the other one was so bad they didn’t air itand now your mad at Rogan. lol
He’s credited in a big way for blowing up ufc I’d love to have him on more pool broadcast… like every pool broadcast so he could do the same for matchwood .
You people want pool to blow up but you don’t want to get with the times and use the media how you have to in the year 2026 to make it blow up.
I was expecting to see more people complaining about espn cutting the broadcast and changing the channel when it hit its 3 hour window. That’s all I read on fb today and to them I said the same thing. Stop being cheap and spend the lousy $10 a month to have the match room app and you’ll have all you want with no interruptions. It’s been working flawlessly . Everyone Wants the sport to succeed but they don’t want to spend a lousy $10 to help it lol
