I believe that balls are sold as a result of him being on staff, but not nearly as many as could be.  Let me explain.  Say WRW throws a ball in one match on tv and someone who watches it wants to buy that ball.  That is one ball sale.  Now say someone who saw that match talks to him after the match, and he says yes that is a great ball, but that was just what I used today, the rest of the week I used this other ball and it really got the job done.  Now the person he talked to wants to buy two new balls.  

WRW never does that.  He doesn't talk to people to sell them on equipment.  And when the people do get sold are more equipment things pick up momentum because now that guy with the two new balls may go and shoot big with them in a league one night and now other people in that league want those two balls.

Now take Michael Haugen for example, he does not have the television appearances of titles anywhere near WRW, but he talks to everyone. If someone asks about a ball with interest he will tell them his honest opinion.  He will asks about a ball, he will ask about their game and tell them if he thinks that ball will work or if there would be a better ball for them.  Since this helps them to get the best reaction possible with their first purchase, they are more likely to buy more than one ball from the company.

What is the difference between saying I don't care for him or saying he is all that???

You are the ones that cannot handle some guys like WRW are jerks, stated the facts straight from me and Eddy from Big E.

If you want go around and sugar coat everything and kiss there azzes go for it, how is it you need to grow up to say you had a bad experience with someone like WRW or anyone for that matter??

I sure hope they have him under contract to actually speak to customers and be nice, with his attitude he will probably not do it anyway imo.

Ric is right he does not sell balls that is beneath him, he is the elite bowler and you should all kiss his butt

90% of celebs are tools...but I bet if you were famous, you'd probably be a tool, too.

Oh, I bet the first 1000 times some half-wit slobbers all over you might be tolerable, but eventually "fans" are going to get on your nerves.  Why?  Because most normal people who see a celeb don't bother them.  

Usually the person who asks for the autograph while the celeb is eating, or working, or bowling, etc. are the inconsiderate schmucks who also ask idiotic questions, wants the celeb to autograph a body part or 18 different items, begs for something, and/or won't allow the celeb to go on their merry way without getting rude.

I'm pretty sure that if you were friends with WRW, he'd turn out to be a pretty normal Joe...just one who happens to bowl for a living.
