Troy with your post, you assume a few things right off.
1. JA is a push over and would let another player bully him......NOT A CHANCE! the guy is a multi time world champ, triple smart player, and long time road dog.....come on, really?.
2. The ref, and or tourny director didn't have control of the match.....didn't look that way to me, and I heard no other issues with match problems during the week. BTW in the players meeting they said the opponent could inspect the rack, AND the match didn't start yet.
3. RA is some kind of bully, or needed to cheat in some fashion to win.......again....NOT, and thats a pretty strong accusation from you. I have never heard of any antics by RA.
4. The audience was stupid.......I'm sure JA had as many fans AND Pro fans sitting near by as RA.....if there was an issue IMO someone would have chimed in.
I rarely get into the sh*t here, but your post sounds like you lost a bet and are looking for a little revenge by smearing the name of a World Champ.
