I think it is funny that nobody mentioned Mike Sigel. How about Mike Dechaine?

I think Mike Sigel would be entertaining. :)

Mike Dechaine, I have only seen him a few times playing pool, but I did not notice that he was entertaining. He has great concentration and good fundamentals, but I don't think I've ever seen him even smile when he's playing pool. :embarrassed2:

For pool to be steered back into the mainstream it needs to be on TV. For it to be on TV it needs to be entertaining to watch. With this premise, I want your ideas on the TV dream team. For me, it is players who are just a lot of fun to watch.

My North American dream team of five players would start with Earl Strickland, Keith McCready, Rodney Morris and Alex Pagulayan. Note that this list does not care how 'rusty' Keith might be, I am only after entertainment value here. What other player from North America would you put on this team? (They have to be alive and actually capable of hitting a ball.)

What about teams for Europe and Asia? Any thoughts?

Jesse Bowman , Luc Salvas , Eric Durbin , Charlie Bryant and Rodney Morris with Robb Saez as alternate.The game would be a 10 ball ring game.

Based only on entertainment.. I hate to say it like that because some of these guys could probably compete if they just put the time it to get back in stroke. However with that said

Pretty Boy Floyd
Earthquake
The Pearl
Captain Hook
The Rocket

I am sure I could think of some others and as I look at this list I can't really understand how come they are almost all old school.
 
Jerry:

In addition to the players you mentioned, I'd have to add Dennis Hatch. My favorite two Mosconi Cups to watch were the back-to-back ones with Dennis in them (and that's not because of "win" or "loss" obviously, because that's split right down the middle).

Rather, the reason I select him, is the same reason that folks in the crowd were asking during the Cup itself -- "when's Dennis going to play?"

He just has that "it" that makes him fun to watch. And boy, can he fire up the crowd as well -- and the crowd even knows it, hence why they asked for him at the Cup.

Heck why not just go with five scantily clad talentless bimbos with TV experience, should be easy to fill that roster.
 
-convicts vs congressmen - 9ball championship

the best part is trying to tell them apart.

the losers go to (or back to) the state pen for a shower with bubba.

I voted for Richard Cook AKA The Tooth!! Bucktooth or Toothie!! The things that come out of him mouth are hestaricall!! For must of us players it can be annoying but to the gerenal public?? :lol:

One of my favorites lines from him is when he was trying to match up with Parica trying to get 10-5.... "What do you say Paprika??" "You can win all of this!!" (Peeling threw a grapefruit of hundreds) "You could become the king of the phillpines!!" "You'll make Marcos look like a two dollar mooch!!!" "Whatta say??"

Parica... "9-6"

Tooth- Shite!!!

:lol:
