I like watching the old shows because they get what they hit.

thank you for posting this classic. bring back so many memories.

The telecasts now are insufferable to watch loved Bo Burton and Chris Sheinkel every Saturday afternoon 3pm to 4:30pm the Wide World of Sports until 6:00pm AHHH the good old days

Back when you actually had to earn your way into this tournement.

I like watching these old telecasts just for the commercials sometimes

Just like every other pba bowler you say that about jackass!!!!

Even the money was better and the announcers weren't amped up on energy drinks and screaming through the telecast....They actually shut up long enough to allow the viewer to hear the ball roll and hit the pins.

Man those old blue hammers are beasts. They just seem to hit harder than other urethane balls back then.

Do you have the 1992 greater Detroit open?

Billy Hardass, I mean, Hardwick, telling it like it is....didn't play for money, ya play to be a champion. Not surprised to hear him say that

Never new growing pains and who’s the boss final episodes were on the same night lol

the first match, and semi final match was exciting and close

Yes, we know, it was “exciting and close.” You say this on every bowling video on KZread.

A good match. Did Genalo ever win one after this? Genalo just missed on so many shots. Being a Long Islander I rooted for him back then, and rooted for him today.

No he didn't. In fact, his last win on tour came in 1986 in Milwaukee (won 6 titles in all). This was the best he ever did in the TOC. Didn't make another telecast until 3 years later at the National Championship where he finished 4th.

Thanks for filling me on this! I guess his last TV show was '89- almost 20 years ago. Seems like just yesterday!

No, his last TV show was the 1995 National Championship. He was a part-time player at that point in his career and he only bowled in tournaments near his hometown of Perrysburg, OH. Genalo made the finals in the TOC 3x, finished 2nd here and 4th in the TOC both in 1986 and in 1990.

Thank you, John, for correcting me here. I'd say he had a pretty darned good career, for well over 10 years. I hope he's in the Hall of Fame- he should be. He must be in the top 10 earners of the 1980's, I would think. Only once did I ever see him make a bad shot, and I think there was a scoring miscue on his part in that one. Perrysburg Ohio's gain is Long Island's loss.

He was a very good clutch player. Yeah that shot you were referring to was in Torrance in 1983. Left a 5 count on his first ball (Greek Church) and threw the 2nd shot in the gutter thinking he had lost the tournament when he needed 3 of the pins to win. Won a tournament in Milwaukee back in '86 by throwing a clutch double in the 10th to beat Mark Roth.

Marc McDowell did bowl amazingly well in the Firestone Tournament of Champions

I was hoping the young man whose father had terminal cancer would win, so that his father could celebrate one last major victory with his son though I am sure he is still plenty proud.

is that dave lamont at the left? 24:28
