Really? I've never that before...............are you sure you haven't said it before, I'm sure I would remember that?
All the top guys manipulate the rack in rack-your-own. This isn't news.
:rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:
I updated that wiki article a while back, among with Mile Sigel's and Efren Reyes's pages. There are some titles missing.
I think Mike showed he has surpassed Earl showed clearly when they played their heads up match at Snookers. It was not very close. In addition, there was supposed to be another Match but that hasn't happened yet. That being said, Earl still has game and most still can't keep up with him IMO.

cause shane's deaf and will turn off his hearing aid the moment
he see's earls forehead vein filling up with blood
cool response, very mature
if its down to accomplishments then he should play with nick varner?
same thing earl passed it has been for awhile, not to mention utter disgrace to the sport is that the person you want to put on the big stage??
sad really.
Bingo/spot on
I would think EVERY pro has knowledge of not only how to rack, but HOW to rack.
Where should a pro draw the line when rent $ is on the line?
'why the hell' are you the only one in your thread who doesn't know?
disgrace & respect, are the two words that you have backwards. go re-read KK9, Renfro, & sjm's posts.
Did Earl steal your girlfriend or something?
I'm thinking Shave Van Boening has respect for Earl because Earl beat Shane in the $$$ challenge match a couple years ago. I haven't heard of the others you mentioned stepping up with big dollars to challenge Shane.
Shane does a lot of things I admire.
To me, this is the young lion showing the old lion respect.
...and the chemistry just might work.
If Shane and Earl win this thing....I promise to become a better person...
...I'll help elderly people across the street and reduce my sins of omission
by 50%.......well, maybe 10%

Count me among the Earl haters, but I'll momentarily overlook the fact that he is routinely abusive of fans, referees, tournament officials and promoters.
Earl had a great career for sure and is rightly counted among the greatest rotation pool players ever but he is not one of the premier players anymore and he proves it over and over. Every once in a blue moon, we see shades of the Earl of yesteryear, but a player is judged on their average game, not their best game, and Earl's average game of 2014 isn't very good.
Earl doesn't beat the big names anymore. The only time in 2014 I saw him collect any scalps of note was in the Derby City Bank pool event, and if the WC of Pool were a bank pool event, Shane's choice of Earl would be, Brumback and Woodward forgive me, OK by me.
Even in regional play, nobody thinks Earl is the one to beat. In Joss tour events, Dechaine, Shaw and Sossei are far more successful.
If Earl, and it's extremely unlikely, plays like he did in 2003, perhaps the last year in which he played like the Earl of old, he and Shane are the clear favorites to win the WC of Pool. However, given how Earl plays now, I'm guessing they will lose in the quarterfinals, which would be a complete failure for America, and would reinforce the international impression that American skills over the green felt are second-rate.
Of course, when Shane and Earl lose in the quarters, I look forward to reading on AZB about how well Earl played.
