Was watching Shanes speech after his win & the audio was very poor but I heard him mention he was dedicating the win to a mentor who recently died. Anyone know who was this person? I thought maybe Grady but just my speculation.

Chad Pollman - BigNasty
 
thanks guys. I didn't know Nasty but sure miss his commentary on early TAR matches. I thought Shane honoring his pal was for me the highlight of the event. Nice relief from Barrys ramblings. LOL

Barry rambling??????????????? Hadn't noticed:grin:
 
Barrys Ramblin

WOW!!!!!

On and On. Can you spell "Attention" or maybe it was a lack of it on Barrys side.

After all the speeches i was expecting to see Shane and Dennis come out in tights and start wrestling. :grin:
 
It was funny when he called for Dennis to come up the second time and he had already left. It was also funny when Alex reacted to the name drawn in the raffle as though he had won, tricking the young girl who didn't know who he was as he went over and high-fived her. She was like "No way!" Ha! She didn't seem to find it as amusing as I did though. Perhaps she's been the butt of one joke too many.

This made me laugh out loud. I agree that the audio was terrible. I heard the commentating just fine but Barry would fade in and out. It was a pleasure to watch that caliber of pool. Congrats to Shane and Dennis.

As several posters mentioned Shane was talking about Chad "Big Nasty" Pollman. Chad took Shane around to tournaments when he was a teenager and was always in his corner. He also made sure if Shane's head ever started getting a little big he would remind him to focus on what was important.

I saw several times where Shane would be in a slump or down about something and Chad would be right there to motivate him. I know how much that can mean because Chad did the same for me over the years. Its rare to know that no matter what you have someone that has your back. Chad was like that for Shane and several others.

As soon as Shane won the first thought in my mind was that somewhere Nasty was smiling.
