I'll Kick Your Ass, Then I'll Kick Your Ass

What is the world of pool coming to now? Is this good for the game? Blair Thein, a supposed 9-ball champion/kickboxer/fighter in the Florida Keys, is promoting a race-to-21 set of 7 ball, and then climb into an extreme-fighting ring and trade blows until somebody falls down and can't get up, as reported in Billiards Digest. The 7-ball match would be for $10,000 and the fight would be for another $10,000. Now, where's the money going to come for this since the purses are already so small, or will it jump up because people will pay to see someone literally kick someone's ass after they've kicked ass on the table.
Hey, when I think about it, some of the possibilities could be very interesting and quite exciting. How about Earl and Charlie....come to think about...how about ANYONE against Charlie? Do you think he knows kung-fu?
 
Who could take this challenge, first pool, then kickboxing ? Maybe Shawn Putnam, Frankie Herdandez... some big guy anyway. Wouldn't bet on Reyes, Pagulayan .... Don't know about martial art backgrounds of pool players...

Before I opened this thread, I was thinking the title was pretty strong talk for a golfer. :D

Is this challenge for real? I don’t get BD anymore, is the article online?

Anyway about Blair, did he previously own a poolroom somewhere around Miami or West Palm, FL? I know of a Blair that plays but unsure of his last name and the last time I saw him was maybe 8 years ago. He wasn’t playing too good then. But if this is the same Blair then what I’ve heard about the fighting could prove to be a painful experience for some challenger.

Scotty Townsend, Tony Mougey or Dennis Hatch, prospective candidates.

The title line of the thread is an eye-catcher, Drivermaker! ;)

Me, strong talk....nahhh...I'm really a sissy. Hell yes the challenge is for real.
He wants to stage it alongside the BCA Pool Leagues' National 9-Ball Championships, set for Nov. 16-21 in Las Vegas. However, as of late June, he was missing several pieces of the puzzle, including sponsors, a venue, a source for the prize money, and an opponent. Greg Sullivan, founder of Diamond Billiard products is all for it and will help, just not in bankrolling the event. Mark Griffin, owner of the BCA Pool Leagues said the idea might have some merit. A key component and source of revenue in the deal would be videotaping the Challenge for later sale. If you're an interested party in any way or wish to find out about him, go to: blairthein9ball@aol.com

I think it would take off better on the women's tour...wrestling around in bikini's in a mud pit with some hair pulling, scratching, and slapping. I could think of some REAL good matchups there.

Hay is this a open tourment ? i'll get in something like that .for ten grand i'll fight mom's.
 
I'll play the 7-ball if my buddy can do the fighting. I like his action with most people. I don't know who this guy is so I could be wrong. Come to think of it, as I reflect back to the days of gambling with strangers {who it turned out liked to fight} I think I'll pass on the 7-ball part and just go to work. Good luck to whoever. Like the commercial on tv said "if pool were more like hockey", who knows what might happen. Sam
 
I've always said...

if pool were more like wrestling, with the sh%t-talking and musical theme songs for each player and fireworks and smoke machines, then a fan base would be NO problem. Sometimes I think poolplayers and TDs try to clean up pool TOO much. We need to have good guys and heels like wrestling, maybe some plotlines, things like like that. Now THAT would draw some crowds. REAL fighting after a pool match? Naaah. Some fake wrestling-type fighting? Now that's the ticket.

The guy is 6'1" and 170 lbs., he looks pretty thin but so did Tommy Hearns. My vote would go to Rude Dog. First, he more than likely would pound the guy in 7-ball and secondly, did you see his picture? That is one big dude. It's not a boxing match with rules, it's a no holds barred fight. All he has to do is get him on the ground with his weight and size and choke the bastard. That would be $20 grand real quick, or at least $10 grand if the other guy happened to get a Peter hold on him. For more info on that move, contact DCP.

Santos Sambajon, Tommy Kennedy, and Alex Pagulayan would seem likely to fall short of the mark in the fighting department.

Not sure I want to gamble at pool or fighting, though, with Jeremy Jones!
 
This brings to mind the real problem with my pool game. I've spread myself way to thin. I want a competition that includes all the following.

Pool (do fairly well)
Table Tennis (been a while, but unless you play very well, you don't want to tangle with me in this)
Music (been playing piano for 45 years. Still play for an hour or so every day. Like elevator music?)
Golf (handicap 6, not bad for an armature)
Dance (North Eastern US Dance title, Top Teacher Arthur Murray's, ya I guess I'm mention the year, 1977, but I still dance)
Target Shooting (Vietnam 1969-70)

Why didn't I take all that time and energy, put it into just one of those categories and become the best? gezzzzz!

Oh, That is 6 competition categories. Could be a tie 3 to 3. I'm glad I saved what I'm best at for the playoff.

Why does "Disco Stu" from "The Simpsons" come to mind? :D
 
Danny D would have been your man...

Too old now, but Danny DiLiberto would have been the one to take this challenge. Great pool player/hustler, had a great boxing career until he quit due to breaking his hands too often (but I bet when younger he could have got it on for one 10K match), and you could even throw in bowling as I understand he was a great bowler. I also think he was just an all around good athlete his entire life.

It would be a lot more interesting if it were the other way around, the fight first then the pool game. These guys beat the crap out of each other, break a few ribs, maybe a leg, a wrist, fingers, dislocate a shoulder, knock some teeth out, lots of blood. Then, they cue it on up and use whatever body parts left that are still functioning to run out.

Now there's something that wouldn't be boring to the overstimulated Joe Average TV viewer!

Hell, I'd do it for nothin', I need some exercise anyway. :D J/K, I'm not a fighter anymore, I'm 37 now and don't feel a day over 65. ;)

I still think you'd wax him in 7-ball. Here's the plan...you just get in the extreme fighting cage with him. I'll get this tiny blow dart dipped in curare and shoot him in the ass while you lay on top of him for the count. We'll split the $10 grand. :cool: Gee...I hope I don't miss and hit the wrong set of buns :(

Hey drivemaker, you make golf clubs, correct? Do you think you can make a custom grip for DCP's " Peter ". I believe he has worn the old one out.
Purdman :D

Did he wear the grip out or did his hand get blistered from over use?

We have 4 models...The "Petergoesinya" grip; The "Dickdangle" grip; the
"CockRobin" grip, and the "BenDover" grip. They come in multiple colors. :D
