Your right. But Scott will not play Shane even rotation pool either.
This is about Shane
- Thread starter 7forlife
- Start date
I agree with you 100% Jaden. I spoke on this very subject the other day on Joe Rogan's podcast show, which was the subject of haters. No matter what the senseless haters say about Shane, he's still gonna be "Shane Van Boening" the bad ass pool player from the US, so I really don't think he cares what these guys say
. I know if I ever play Shane I want the race to be to 1 and I want to win the flip. The European players are awesome and Shane is awesome, but to say they are going to beat SVB heads up is just not reality...Let's face it, to win a tournament in a short race format the stars have to line up for you. When they line up for Shane in the world tournament, he will start winning. He wins the US Open with players from all over the world but it's a slightly longer race which usually favors the better player but doesn't always have too..Years ago when Dennis Rodman said if Larry Bird was black he would just be another good player. They asked Larry Bird what he thought about Rodman's comment and he said I don't care what he says. The reason for that is he's still gonna be Larry Bird one the the best players in the history of the sport. It doesn't matter what anyone says about Shane, he dominates!!

Scott won't be playing any pool for a while breaking his right wrist recently.
Dennis Orcullo at Hard Times would get backed.
So you're saying Shane has hit a plateau and won't be getting any better than he is right now? That's surely laughable.
Scott not playing rotation games against Shane even is a given. You said any format in your original post.
IMHO, He was trying to stroke Scott into giving him weight, massaging his ego that he was surely the best in the world at 1P. On neutral ground I'll take Shane
I should have said rotation games
Sure it's great that he's the top money player/earner, but how many of you can say that you're pleased about going to Reno or playing in you local tourney and cashing but never taking it down?
Maybe the stars haven't lined up for this particular tournament you speak of but I think he will eventually win the world tournament. Remember Shane Van Boening is not or hasn't made any excuses about not winning the world tournament. I have only heard him speak highly of the asian players and said it's very tough. The people speaking about him aren't his managers or agents. I believe he will win a world tournament eventually, he is still fairly young and has a ton of ability

Scott gave him, I believe, 9-7 before and they broke even after 20 hours or something. This latest time Shane was asking for 9-8 so I don't think stroking his ego had anything to do with it. I am sure if they did play even on a neutral table there would be lots of people looking to bet on either side.
Who knows if Scott will ever be the same again but I pray he gets his wrist fixed without incident and gets back to 100%.
Shane is the best in the world? Then that must mean Bustamante is the best in the Milky Way galaxy since he rarely beats him for the cash.
i cant believe he gave him that game in the last 4 years. Anyway ill still take Shane like i said.
Im probably dead wrong but i dont think a broken wrist on the bridge hand will have any effect long term
LOL

Alcano won W8B also. Wu won W8B in same year he won W9B. He was finalist in first W10B.
No offence but maybe that is why you are selling cue cases and not out there arguing cases as a lawyer.
You bait and switch, don't get the facts right or conveniently leave out certain facts.
Stay classy not crassy please.
maybe the best response I have ever read on here.
sell cue cases and leave the facts to the rest of the knowledgable pool community.
FYI maybe alcano not done much becaus ehe is in big trouble in Phillipines and likely cannot travel
Well said...it amazes me how people like the OP can be haters. Shane has always showed so much class, poise, and talent. He is world class and can win overseas, but that doesn't mean it is easy or that he will. World championships are special events just like super bowls...even the best sometimes don't get the rings.
Aye Hole Post from an Aye Hole.
It has been said by many on here that Shane could likely get played in china for whatever he wants.
Planes work both ways.
Not sure who said that but Shane has been to China many times and the line to the bathroom is longer than the line of people who want to try Shane in long races for BIG money.
Sure Shane could get played by dozens of Chinese players for relatively small amounts of money but no one I know of is willing to put up $10,000 USD or more for their player to play Shane.
I was present in Shanghai when VERY GOOD players were BEGGING Oscar Dominguez for ridiculous weight for what amounted to $200 a set.
Want to take a quiz and bet on it? I will be more than happy to let anyone here make a test with one hundred questions and bet $500 that I can beat any RANDOM anon with my knowledge of pool past and present.
There are few people on the forum whom I would not bet against. At Large, Terry Ardeno, Jay Helfert, SJM, and several others come to mind....
You? Post the cash
You could be right though, if Ronnie is restricted then he can't do much. But my point is valid and easily proved by listing many more names.
Are you a pitcher or a catcher? Just asking. Cause you seem like a catcher to me
John:
I would wholeheartedly agree with this. We culturally-neutered dumb-fvck Americans who have no clue (nor care) what goes on in the rest of the world don't know how Shane is perceived in other countries. But you can bet "the rest of the world" knows what's going on in America, knows who Shane is, knows what kind of damage he does over here, and don't want any part of him for large sums of cash. I don't doubt that at all.
Like I say:
"Americans. Keeping an eye on the world from a room with no windows."
