Well where do I start? I know, I want to thank from the bottom of my heart that have helped with the Legends and Champions Bad Blood 1. There are quite a few people who stepped up to the plate. Obviously Air Art1 Stacy and Bob were just fantastic and I would love to work with them again. Nils at Drifters pool Room did everything he possibly could on site to make things go well even when the original table we were going to use fell through he went and bought one so we could be sure. All the sponsors who helped and supported us. There were others some were sponsors and were not who just rolled up their sleeves and asked 'What you need me to do?" People like Dana, Chris Petersen, Greg (CaliRed) and so many others. THANK YOU! to all.
As some of you know I have done mostly the exhibition and clinic tours with the Legends and Champions Pool Tour. However I have done some challenge matches too Rodney Morris and Tony Crosby and Efren and Scott Frost 1 Pocket Challenge. I am always looking to try something just a little different. Like the Bad Blood event and having 3 different games played by top quality pro players. The problem with trying to be a little different and move into areas that I have not really done before is that things can go wrong.
As I have said before when things go wrong it really is heart breaking especially when you have no control over it. TvMike did a good job with the stream and he is not to blame for the Ustream issues. Should I have been by his side all the time the event was going on to make sure that all was going well??? Maybe, that way I could have seen the issues and the seriousness of them and been able to communicate with the viewers while he was trying to get it fixed. However there are a lot of what ifs and I sholulda coulda elements to this. I was obviously doing other things the whole time the matches were being played and also before and after the matches were being played and so its hard to be everywhere at once as I am sure most can understand. I actually got to see maybe 10-15 mins of the event myself and thats all.
At the end of the day this was a Legends and Champions event and as they say the buck stops here. So if anyone has issue with anything I am the one to look at for answers and nobody else. I will do what I can to get you answers to any problem you may have.
Anyway the reason for this thread was to just really thank all the people involved for their hard work and also to thank the fans who have come forth and supported us and been so understanding. Also to thank the good people of Lincoln, Ne who made us all feel very welcome the whole time we were there and came to the event. Also I have to thank Nick and Shawn for doing the commentary and being where they said they would be when they said they would be there. I can't forget to thank Johnny and Earl for playing a great match. I told people including the players "If I had fixed this match and told the players make it close and exciting we could not have done it any better." Close match in the 8-ball, hill hill in the 10 ball and the 14.1 decided by 3 points with back to back runs over 100.
Thanks again to everyone and if anyone thinks that old T-Wheels is going to fade away because of this you are nuts. Keep your eye out for Bad Blood matches in the near future or the Legends and Champions Pool tour coming to a town near you with clinics and exhibitions.
