Rash vs Belmonte
« on: March 31, 2013, 09:40:18 PM »
I do not know why this happened, but ever since the bottle incidents, I had this bad feeling about Belmonte. I didn't like him; I thought what he did was bad. I thought he did it intentionally no matter what he said to the contrary.

Lately, I'm not sure why but the more I see him, the less I feel positive about Rash.

It reached a culmination today when I watched the TOC. I don't know why but today Rash seemed the ultimate sack of sh*t and Belmonte seemed more like a human being with feelings who was trying to  .. do the right thing?

Probably just an emotion, with no real truth to the matter.

"Professional" wrestling has thrived on the scripted heel versus face drama... who's to say that the PBA hasn't quietly pushed the same type of roles on well recognized bowlers to keep the public talking about the PBA?

Bad publicity is still publicity after all...

Did you mean to say that Belmonte looked like a jackass with the smirk on his face?  I completely agree with this if you were referring to Belmonte.

+1 for Belmo from me. He was relaxed, confident, and ready to let his game do the talking, as did PDW later.
I'm sure there are different points of view, but for me, more positive about Belmo now and less on Rash...

For awhile, I disliked Belmonte due to all the possibly shady things he was doing to win.  However, lately I had been watching some of the IABowling videos on youtube and he seemed like a good guy.  But today seeing him with the smirk on his face really turned me back to not liking the guy.  Just looked way to cocky.  I know he has said that he smiles because he is trying to enjoy bowling on tv and not worrying as much.  But it didn't look like a "i'm having a great time" smile.  It looked like a "i'm the f'ing man and the guy i'm bowling has no shot" type of smile.

One person's confidence is another person's cockyness. 

You're playing the TOC, you have front 5, and the other guy can't seem to find the hole and strike, wouldn't you be a bit confident, maybe even with a smirk bubbling over?

But all that said, doesn't matter.  Weber came out and dominated.

Belmo did say a few weeks ago that he bowls much better when he's relaxed and having fun.  Maybe his "smirk" was just a way to reinforce positive thoughts or keep him relaxed?

  I agree with Strider, and Belmo stated in his post game interview, that he was just trying to have fun and to releive the stress by thinking of hiw wife and daughter.  This way he was able to keep the negative demons out of his mind while he was bowling.  While there is no love lost between Belmo and Rash, I think they both showed a great deal of professionalism, expecially the polite handshake at the end of the match.  On a side note, I was very proud of Weber this match.  His only ire was directed at the pins and he showed great spotsmanship when Belmo picked up the 4-10 split.  He was humble and grateful in his post game interview.  He did it all right this time.

  Yes, he did.  And so did Pete.  They were the stronger plastice bottles that don't krinkle every time you pick them up.

I am not a huge Belmo fan even though I am a fellow 2 hander.  That being said; I think the negative comments about him are a little ridiculous.  The guy made a mistake a couple years ago.  Big whoop!!!  He hasnt repeated it since.  He does all this great work off the lanes with Diandra and helping kids with promoting the sport of bowling.  He has really tried to personify a positive attitude on the telecasts and yet just because some of us cant get over our personal feelings about what happened with bottlegate, we cant let it go.  Who are we to judge about some stupid smirk when half of us have done 10 times worse in a measly $20/week league?  At some point we need to get over it.  How many of us would have had the attitude he had after losing in the title match of a major?  So far he is the only person I have seen that has really acted like that after losing.  Personally I think we should give the guy some credit.  He smirked in the match against P-Dub.  But we only seem to mention the smirking in the match against Rash.  Makes no sense.
