Maybe we just have to setup games for Range Rovers in every WNT tour stop to get him to travel.
Bergman will play WNT events in 2026
- Thread starter SA96
- Start date
Great for Justin if he really comes back.
Too little too late for Team USA. Need to lock down 100 11 year olds in a pool summer camp 8 hours per day and see what talent turns out.

He also finished second in the 1982 National Collegiate Championship while attending Michigan Tech in the UP. He beat me in the semi-finals.Must of been a yooper before joining the Navy? 2003 U.S. Amateur champion. Facebook link from Sports Illustrated “Faces in the Crowd,”says from Orlando.

Here is the National Billiard News article from August 1982...
I see there is a Bruce Choyce who currently plays pool -- perhaps the same one.

He isn't going to be able to afford to travel to all these events. Will not have the sponsorship to do it given his "being afraid to travel" which is related to much tougher things to shake. With the level of competition at the top and the number of players showing up as prize money increases, not a lot of chance he can win enough to sustain world travel. Dude is 38 years old with a lot of wear on the tires....
does that really compare? justins been staying in action, mike has not. beat chohan in 1p not too long ago, plays all stops at ultimate pool etc..
one can laugh at ultimate pool but fact is he has shined with a 30 sec / 15 sec shot clock despite being a normally very slow player
Yes, I agree, Justin is in action of some sort 100x as much as Mike.
Still, he's not playing top players regularly. Only 4-5 top players go to the Ultimate Pool event, rather than ALL of them that go to WNT events.
He'd need a full season of all the stops of playing top players all the time to be back in form, IMO.
I feel like he’ll be a very welcome addition to the American Mosconi Cup team. Raise the average a bit. I hope he gets loaded up with some great US sponsors that make his run profitable. As an American player he is a box office name deserving of some top tier support.
But in terms of Mosconi Cup prospects I do hope people realize he’s just a lifeline. He’s not the team’s future. He’s approaching 40 years old and isn’t going to return as a Fedor-level talent with continued upward promise. He idled away his prime years. We need some up-and-comers to really blossom to secure our future.

fedor level talent is actually continuous, diligent practice.. fedor is talented, but he has also worked very, very hard. much like niels feijen.
maybe UP can sponsor him. he's certainly done plenty to promote their league
Yeah and might end up beating them. I promise you none of the top players are hoping to draw JB!

That’s the problem iron has to sharpen iron
He’s now a part owner in St.Louis and Illinois.
Just based on the replies during the MC there must be a BUNCH of AZ'rs walkin around sportin their 'BergmanChubbies' today. Their messiah has re-landed and will save the MC for us. I hate to break this news but its gonna take more than one player to fix America's big table ills. I doubt he plays much MR pool. Could be totally wrong but i just don't see him shifting gears and going back to full-time world traveling pro again. He might play a few US-based events but that'll be about it. This dude hates traveling.
