Well said mate, but good luck getting the fools with those opinions to change their mind.
Bad Blood?? Strickland & Archer with possible bonus.

Your post is spot on.
I'm sure some of the people slinging the mud wouldn't like it a bit.
The anonymity of the Internet allows some people to have a creative license. Unfortunately, that creative license hurts many innocent people.

Fatboy vs. T-Wheels on the undercard.
I would love to see this match (Johnny & Earl
) because they would be playing for more than just the money. I believe they would rather stick needles in their eyes than lose to each other.Mark, I hope nobody is pissed at you and you can pull this off. Count me in for a pay-per-view...and another pool school (if you come within a couple hundred miles) again.
Saw.... Chill dude =) Look at the source and search for other posts by the source LOL... The pool world knows about the bad blood and have been waiting for it to be settled... I'll take Earl if it's a 20 second shot clock =)
You sound very pessimistic. I hope you are wrong. Both Archer and Strickland love the game and I respect their integrity and dedication. I don't think they would intentionally cheat as you suggest. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I believe in man's basic honesty.
If the promoter can suceed in producing this match, I would really enjoy seeing it played on a 10 foot table.
The ban hammer knocked rorywayne's sombrero into next week, not that he still can't read your post. He will probably be back with a new user name soon.
Mark, I really like the format......good idea on the different games, like the idea of an all around champion....
And yes, if it's going to be taped, a max 30 second clock is a good idea....
Good luck, hope it happens.....wish you would bring it to Dallas

I spoke with Johnny last night again and he threw a new angle into the mix. I have not spoken to Earl yet today on if this is even an option for him but JA said "Whoever loses gets their head shaved by the other at the end of the event". I asked him 4 times "Are you sure??" cos I don't even talk to JA much if he has just lost a match as he just does not like to lose. I said I can't imagine you sitting there while Earl shaves you head. Anyway I will see if Earl is even interested in that as I think people might tune in just to see that part of it 
I will update as I get more info.

Greatness....
Or you could go college-style and shave the entire left side.....facial hair, eyebrows, and hair of just one side
Git it done Mark, can't wait....
I am not sure that the shaved head is realistic to hope happens but I know it would for sure add a little something to the deal. I can only imagine how many photos would be taken of the loser before he left the pool room,Greatness....

This reminds me of years ago when I watched what was known as Big Time Wrestling. Dick the Bruiser would chirp about someone to start a feud. The next week that player would show up and save some poor sap getting beat up in the ring by the Bruiser. There is a little confrontation between them that gets broken up by the announcer. Stage is set. There is a challenge match to be 2 weeks later.
no i dont think you would, but I talk to JA daily and he never mentioned it. It just suprised me thats all.
Ok, as some of you know After years of playing on tour together and spending countless hours together with the Legends and Champions Pool Tour on the road. It seems that Johnny and Earl just DO NOT care for each other very much. One says the other is a cry baby and one says the other is responsible for his absence at the Mosconi Cup.
There have been words thrown out here and there that I have kept to myself as it is really their business. However with all the woofing between players these days I asked them if they wanted to match up. They both said yes without hesitation. They did not even ask about the money believe it or not, I believe its more of a 'Shut the F&%k up match. However the match will be for $10k. At this point it looks like a 2 day event, day one = race to 15-8-ball. Then a race to 15-10-ball then a race to 150 or 200 14.1. All on a 9ft table probably Brunswick unless we get some help from Diamond.
Lastly, I am wanting to make this a double header and also add Dennis Hatch and Daz Appleton to the deal and have them either play a race before or after the Scorpion and the Pearl.
I suppose you all guessed it,l my new years resoloution is to make some shit happen this year. Hopefully all will get paid and all will have fun.
Your T-Wheels (The super Agent)
I am working on dates and location but this will be soon
That would be a trap for Earl. Archer is a better 14.1 player.
Should be 10 ball, shot clock, race to 100. Without a shot clock Archer will slow down just to drive Earl crazy.
I have to disagree, If there is a game where a player has to make balls in pockets Earl is always gonna be dangerous.
Then maybe you should have spoken to JA first before you came at me for making a post in bad taste or so you thought.
You disagree that Archer is a better 14.1 player?
this has kind of a WWF feel to it. Could we give them each the microphone for 2 minutes before the match so they can trash talk each other just a little? All in good fun of course, for the DVD. lol.
