I'm looking to challenge anyone!!

Bruce "SuperStroke" Christopher was a wannabe pro who liked to hang around the real pros. He was with Fats, when Fatty played Mosconi in the "$25K Shootout" on Wide World of Sports, with Howard Cosell commentating. Christopher supposedly was gonna "warm up" Fatty, but it never happened. He advertised the $1,000,000 'challenge' for a few years in the pool mags, until someone called his bluff. Then he upped the ante to $1.5M in the ads. The games never happened, and he finally faded away into the background.

Fly to me and I will play you for $5 a game.
My wife will prepare whale blubber for you too.
Think of it as Eskimo sushi.

Look for Igloolik's Pool Hall, I'll be waiting.

I remember that ad hanging in a poolroom around 1996 or '97. It said "Bruce 'Superstroke' Christopher will play anyone for $1,000,000!" LOL.. it was hilarious. It seems like there were a whole bunch of kids with him in the picture hanging all over him
