So is there footage of the famous 1990's Challenge of Champions dumping scandal?

Is it possible that there is an active effort to remove any and all footage of the 1991 Challenge of Champions to protect those who were allegedly involved? You can find so many matches on the internet but no trace of above match, even though they were on youtube at some point.
 
Who were the 8 players? Let me preface by saying they are innocent until guilty by a court of law blah blah blah. I only remember a few of them.

Mike Lebron
Buddy Hall
David Howard
Jim Rempe

Interesting footnote: "Meucci Originals, Inc. donated an assortment of limited edition cues, that sold for prices ranging from $300 to $500. The proceeds went to the professional players that did not cash in the event." The cues were auctioned by Jay Helfert, who also auctioned several items for various charities.

If you are going to fix a match why would you let it go hill hill, what would of happen if Hall would of made the 9 on the break in the hill hill game instead of the 4 ball, that would of been real cute, a fixed match with the wrong guy winning! I know they wanted to make things look good but not that good!

Even though there's enough pool on youtube to waste a lifetime... there's even more footage that never made it. Tons and tons of events you never heard of, stuff like the taco bell seniors championship.

It's not weird that this never spread around the internet, because it was made before the DVD age. Someone would need to have recorded the original onto VHS back in 92', then held onto it for several years, then figured out how to transfer his VHS tapes to DVD, then upload to youtube. It's very possible nobody out there managed to do all that.

I'm not sure if the guy who saw it on youtube is remembering correctly.

That is the funny thing, Hall missed the 8 when he was down 7-8, Lebron went and missed the 8 back and Hall was probably left with one of those spots you cannot really miss from and be at all believable. I would love to see Hall's face when Lebron missed that 8 to end it 9-7 and forced the match to go hill/hill.

Well people shouldn't wait on me.
I will not be loading it up to any video sight..EVER.

But there are copies out there. That's a fact.
Hopefully someone else can help you all out.

Exit our hero, stage left.;)

Errm, no. SS made it very clear she is not going to share it because she is a self admitted douchebag. I sm sure that someone else on azb who is actually cool has the video and would share it.

... I have that Howard vs. LeBron match in the back of my mind somewhere. I seem to remember a lot of easy misses in that match too. I don't know if my memory is correct on this or not since I could be getting it mixed up with a more recent broadcast, but I seem to remember Allen Hopkins providing the commentary and quite often saying something along the lines of "that's what the pressure will do" after several easy misses. ...

From the Pool & Billiards Magazine article, I can tell you the following about the 5-3 Lebron/Howard match.

Howard won the first 3 games (making it 8 wins in a row in his two matches). Then he lost the next 5 games and was out of the tournament.
Game 4 -- no details except "David lost his concentration."
Game 5 -- Howard "dogged" the 9-ball.
Game 6 -- Lebron won with a 1-9 combo.
Game 7 -- Lebron broke and ran out, with a 4-9 combo.
Game 8 -- Howard made the 3 on the break, made the 1, missed the 2; Lebron made the 4, made the 5-8 combo, and played safe on the 5; Howard fouled; Lebron ran out.

If he doesn't like people giving him grief about this, he shouldn't have continued egging people on, responding throughout the thread.

Therefore I don't think SS is terribly concerned about people here "giving him a break."

He gives as good as he gets.
