forget about playing ability,forget about heart attack,there are some people who are wet noodles,another one is dennis occorulo,this guy ,well let me tell ya, all i'm saying is this, lacking,that's all lacking.
there needs to be star power,in pool, for instance nick varner was approached to do a huge documentry on pool, the director said "you are one of the most inspirational players that ever lived, i would love to have you in my documentry which will be released around the world, for pool fans and others alike what do you say? and nick just stood there chewing like a cow,and didn't even give him an answer, then the director said, well if you just want to come onto the set, meet me tonight, and he gave him the location and again in leaving the director said it would be my honor for you just to show up, again(chewing like a cow,no anser) nick never showed, that says a lot about nick, this director is giving him respect god like comments,compliments what have you, and he chews gum back in his face,doesn't even show up on the shoot!,this was a slap in the face of pool! say what you will, but that was a slap in the face of pool.

I call BULLSHIT!!! Either you made up the entire thing, or you are leaving something out. Bernie you are well known by everyone to lie and exaggerate about nearly everything you say. YOU ARE A SLAP IN THE FACE TO POOL BERNIE.
 
Nick Varner is probably one of the classiest pool players to have graced this sport, and I'm astounded that anyone would have anything negative to say about him.

As much as all you guys want to attack Bernie for what he said about Nick and Orcollo, HE IS ENTITLED TO HIS OPINION!

BERNIE LIVES IN A FREE COUNTRY, AND HE CAN SAY WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS EVEN IF ANY OF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT HE SAYS.

So everybody, GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES.
There is a difference between expressing an opinion and attacking someone without provocation. His post was just mean-spirited, full of nonsense like every other one of his posts.

Nick Varner is a gentleman and if he didn't respond to you and your "director" friend, it's probably because he overheard y'all badmouthing him seconds before, just like with Corey.

You aren't a pool player, Bernie; you're a whining vagina who's upset because whatever self-seeking intentions you had with these players came back to slap you on the face.

I've given you bad rep points for slagging one of the nicest pool players alive. I hope everyone does.


That was the first thing I did when I saw Bernie's post. I don't think I've ever seen a living pool legend bashed on this forum before, it's a sad thing for AZ land to have something like this on here.
 
BERNIE blew it. Let's stop the bleeding by DELETING the thread. I hope lessons have been learned, we don't have instant replays and BERNIE is NOT banned.

He's kinda like a spouse, you miss em when they're not around but they can really get your heart started when you see too much of em.

Good idea. I just made my bad rep contribution also.

Look at that Bernie! You've turned even Sweet Marissa against you... I can't blame her, I agree 100% with her and Cuetechasaurus, You are the slap in the face of pool if anything.
 
Bernie, I've known Nick since Moby Dick was a Guppy and he means no harm to anyone on this planet. He is a class guy.

At least we can't accuse him of being KT's $ 100,000 whore!

Gabber...........
 
I agree with 99% of the folks that have responded to this thread. Nick Varner is a class act, he has always been very friendly and more than willing to take time for his fans from my experience.
 
if that's what he wanted

One thing for sure...if Bernie wanted some attention, he sure got it......

I knew a guy once who told me about how Nick Varner treated him just like any friend would, just a regular guy who happened to be a world champion pool player......it jibes with everything complimentary said here about Nick...a classy gentleman and an asset to the pool world...

Bernie, you really stepped in it this time....

I feel like I should step in and say something here. I saw Nick earlier this week for the first time in a couple years. I have known Nick since I was born. My father and him were best of friends and former road partners (before people knew how good the future hall of famer played). He called us up and stopped by our place and visited for a while. I can tell ya...Nick is far from having no personality. Maybe he felt as though you were the one with no personality. Or maybe (if you are anything in person as you appear on this forum) he avoids contact with you for a reason? Maybe you are trying too hard to rub elbows with your former IPT members. One thing I can say about Nick...if you are referring to his personality at a tournament that's your first mistake. Those who know Nick know that he is all about business on and off the pool table. When he goes to a tournament, he is fully dedicated to win and will not be sidetracked at all. Now, if he's knocked out, he's the guy sitting in the bleachers watching matches, complimenting good play, giving his fans sitting close to him his ideas of the match as far as how he might play certain shots, and usually signing an autograph here and there. I wish i would have looked at this thread days ago, perhaps Sunday night when i was visiting with Nick. Then I could have showed him this thread and let him bash you himself. Maybe I'll call him. Naw, he's too busy and way above this and what you are doing on here. Wait...now I know why I didn't read this thread earlier...cause idiots like you make it completely unjoyable, especially for real pool players and enthusiast. I made the mistake of opening another thread and it says you don't gamble. I guess i know why. Your IPT record proves it. Take care and good luck with your game. And thanks for making another player with wisdom and knowledge shy away from this rediculous forum...or at least what it has become!!!
 
What a coincidence

I was just watching a docu about bipolar disorder and here I am reading this thread started by Bernie... weird :rolleyes:
