Jr.
Can remember watching him practice before a tournament, one handed, jacked up, and running rack after rack. That would have been about '89 or '90 I'd guess.
When Weldon came to Ft. Wayne, he started running around with a guy who staked me once in a while. I normally played on my own money. Weldon came thru Anderson, In. and ran into a couple of my friends one night, a few months before I met him. He beat Opie out of about $90 fairly easily.
About 2 months later, I was playing in a tourney at Marion, In. and he was there. I lost early in the tourney and came thru the loser side. I beat George Breedlove in the final of the loser side, and had to play Weldon. He beat me 7-3. I watched him play a couple of pretty decent players, for $20 or $30 a game, and he played one handed resting the cue on the rail when they had no idea, he could beat em playing jacked up.
I watched him in the Gibson Girl, a strip club, trying to hustle a couple hundred out of 2 guys he was sitting with. He was gonna bet he could throw a quarter across the room, about 5 or 6 pool tables away and land it on a pool table. They wouldn't bet, so he did it anyway. Then changed the bet to landing it a hand span from the end rail. They bet $20 a piece, and he got the money.
I think when he first moved here, he played Doug Smith, who was probably the best in Indiana at the time for $5000. Doug gave Jr. the 6 ball, and Jr. had to play one handed Jacked up. Jr. got the money.
He traveled with Grady on the road. I had a couple of conversations with Grady about him.
We won a lot of money and in the early eighties I think he played his best pool. He never drank, and we played about everyday for large sums of money. The story up top when he played Doug smith he beat Doug's backer out of 70,000. When it was over Doug still thought he could win lol. Weldon was a funny funny guy that could make anyone laugh, very dry sense of humor. One time him and I took Doug Smith on the Road and Doug played all night, we get back to the room and Doug took his shoes off and we about gassed out. Weldon told him to put his shoes outside the door and to wash his feet. Doug said someone will steal them. Weldon said if someone steals them stinky sumbababeoches I will buy you a new pair. 
Weldon is 74 and doesn't play pool anymore his eyes don't work like they used to. He was known by most people I had ever talked to as the best hustler that ever lived. A guy up top said he got jarred while he played him, but if that happened Weldon didn't know about it. He would never stoop to a low like that, he found it a challenge to outsmart someone. More likely a side better for to him. Chuck Bradley Formally Known as White Cracka formally known as Big Sexy
