ok I watched the saturday night match. I also watched the PODcast. First of all absolutely great job by Justin and the annoucers. It was great to watch. Ok I don't know personally either one of these players; haven't met them in person so please take this for the context its given. Shane is at the top of his game and knows it and knows how to present himself; but not to the media. Although you can tell he's not real comfortable talking about pool we kind all know he's sublminal and has the mental part of the game down pat. He doesn't have the talk to the audience part down at all. Mike might pocket balls well but he REALLY needs a mentor. He needs someone that can teach him how to interact with people and how to be a very gracious loser. Don't get me wrong I like his game but when you start to watch these two together on the stream it truly seems like a pro against an very good amateur (0k I'm using that term losely here and I know Mike is a world class player). Just one person's opinion on it but I really feel like Mike could be truly worldclass if he had the right mentor and listened to him. Shane is already there but also has some work to do in the media front to help bring this whole game of pool up in the medial sense.
