Who is the best or who is your favorite "celebrator"?

I was wondering who has the best celebration after winning a tournament?

My vote goes to either Busta(sudden death 7 Ball & Challenge of Champions) or to Pagulayan for his celebration after the WPC a few years ago.

Honorable mention to Earl when he stood on the table at the WPC.

Who is ya'lls favorites?
 
earl is my favorite. Kim Davenports dance after he beat Earl at the Sands was pretty good too. Alex P is also pretty entertaining.

ive never seen his, actually, i havent seen many.

It just seems that the majority just raise their cue and smile, i like it when they show a great deal of emotion. I remember when gabe won the Open, it was a look of relief and and a look like he could not believe what he just did. Very calm and classy, just like Schmitty and SVB. But what i like to see is for someone to scream their guts out

Am i alone in this? i guess it just depends on their personality.

Alex pagulayan vs Fong Pang Chao quarter finals match, 2004 world pool championships. The whole crowd was against Alex that match. He was PUMPED UP after winning that. Earl strickland definitely has some good finish's. After he wins some close or tough matchs he pumps his fist and screams I get a tingle down my back. This dude is always PUMPED

haha, i remember that.....

"take that and rewind it back!!"
 
Kim's dance after finally beating Earl at the Sands is absolutely hilarious. Thats an incredible match, both guys are running out like crazy.

Kim looks more determined to win that match than any other I can recall. He plays like God the last set in front of his relatives and finally wins the Sands and beats Earl after frustration there in earlier events.

He drops his cue on the table, does a little dance with some finger pointing going on, and then shoots the case nine.

Classic.

Every nine ball fan should seek out that match. One of the best ever IMO.
 
Karen Corr up on the table dancing a jig was pretty cool.:thumbup:
She is usually pretty reserved.:thumbup:
 
Without a doubt my favorite is Tommy Kennedy for a couple of reasons:

1) It doesn't matter how big or small the match or tournament is, he is very happy to win and shows it.

2) People are usually cheering for him since he has a very loyal following and the crowd pulls for him in general.

3) He will cheer for his opponent if he/she makes a good shot or wins a game, how many people do you know that do that?


He may be small in stature but he has a big heart and is tall in character.

You are absolutely right about that match. I have it on video and it's a classic match and Kim put on a show. I think Buddy Hall enjoyed it almost as much as Kim did after Earl came from down 9 to 5 to beat Buddy by running 5 racks.

James
 
One of the funniest I have ever seen is an Accu stats match between Sigel and C.J. Wiley. Its a dog fight to the end and Sigel breaks double hill, shoots hard at the one and sh*ts in the 9 ball, then he walks around the table just smiling ear to ear at the crowd....C.J. had steam coming out of his ears.

Southpaw
 
Oliver Ortman collapsing on the table after beat Miz for the World 14.1 title was very memorable.

Watching guys self-cheer for themselves like TK and Earl sickens me. I'm all for a single fist pump ala Varner or Buddy in their prime...but I'm a cranky and bitter One Pocket player. If I had to choose a celebrator...it would be Alex, he cracks me up.
