Video of last rack of WPC Appleton vs Wen

Cool as chit. He pulled an Earl, jumping on the table. LOL
Congratulations, Darren.:)
 
Man I want to watch that guy vs SVB in a TAR 8-ball battle, same race to 25 per a night, with $1500 and $500 paid out for each night.

That would be one epic match.

Daz said he wasn't interested in a long set format.

He almost blew a fuse going to 13...if he had to go to 50, he might decide to go for a long walk around game 40.

The TAR format is no longer super long races like he played Hatch in. Each night is an individual race to 25, which is the equivalent of playing about two races to 13 in a tournament in one day. He might not be so adverse to that and what his thoughts were after a race to 100 do not quite equate.
 
Notice Daz doing the Pete Townsend thing and tossing his instrument!! Sublime play from D.A.

When Strickland did that everyone said he was an asshole who had no sense of sportsmanship but everyone will say this is great. Lol. Just sayin...
 
I wonder what the people of Qatar think of that...maybe they don't care? Maybe they do? I have no idea how their culture reacts to that kind of stuff. It's an incredible tourney & hopefully they don't feel slighted.

It's great to see emotion after a hard-fought match, but its another thing to jump on the table & stomp around. The commenters on youtube agree.

EDIT: I have to laugh that any time a question of sportsmanship comes up, Earl is quickly mentioned. He's become the standard by which others are measured...in abhorrent behavior.

Appleton showed his sportsmanship first by congratulating his opponent first for the tough game he played, then proceeded to jump up onto the table.

Earl on the other hand, after the 9 ball sunk, he hopped onto the table, then shook bustamantes hand.

From this, it goes to show what is more important to the player, sportsmanship or celebration

Umm not exactly. First he runs around fist pumping and screaming and then he gets around to congratulating his opponent.
 
Love the stream quality and the look of the arena. Congrats DA solid play to get out after a nice jump. You can tell how much he wanted that win and i think pool can use a little exuberance. Again congrats

Very different, Earl played Django in the finals- who had just lost his daughter. Many people felt Earls celebrating should have been toned down due to the tragic incident.

That could be one of the silliest things I ever heard.
 
Pool needs more of this.

Go ahead and make an argument whether this is good sportsmanship or not, I don't really care. This kind of play, production and raw emotion would make for exciting pool on TV.
