- LIVING LEGENDS CHALLENGE
It was matchup time again for Mike Sigel and Earl Strickland, two living legends. This time, the game was 10-Ball at the 2018 “Living Legends Challenge”. The 55-year-old Strickland, who was still on tour competing, was up against his old-time foe, the retired 63-year-old Mike Sigel. Both of these Hall of Famers had nothing to prove, but since they were mic’d, you can bet that it was entertaining!
John Bender and Bill Hendrixson shared the booth.

How could anyone NOT wear headphones playing Sigel.
Especially those with Hellboy hand.
This guy has an 30 min story for each shot no wonder Earl got head phones on🤣
Maybe the announcers are the reason for the headphones these guys straight monotone
and yet earl manages perfectly fine with looking like a complete madman xD
@@danieleriksson5728 CORRECT ! 😅😅
How come Earl got headphones? Is it his way of sending a message to Mike "Shut your pie-hole don't want nunya nonsense" ?
Sigel is one of the most obnoxious pool players to ever live. Annoying asf
Sigel is the one opponent that makes Earl look like a taciturn guy, and makes Earl look like the picture of good sportsmanship to boot.
Mike talks a lot... BUT... I submit to you that most people misdirect their feelings about him talking so much in the incorrect way. Why? Because everyone is used to playing with people that bitch and moan etc etc, so it's a common feeling we all have. And we silently direct our displeasure with the person bitching because we know they aren't that great.
Problem with using that same logic when listening to Sigel is he talks so much smack that he suspends your memory and makes you almost forget where you are and who you are watching bitch and moan. Make no mistake though... It's Mike Segal. He's for sure one of the top 10 pool players that ever lived. I say that if you can't bitch and moan all the while becoming one of the greatest pool players of all time then just go ahead and shoot me in the head now and put me out of my misery because I have no liberties to exercise if I ever become good at something to such a high level.
I think he's earned the right I guess what I'm saying and out of fairness we all need to take it... because there are statistically relatively few people in the world that can make Mike Segal eat his own words.
Earl wearing headphones changes the whole situation. I was hoping to see his face as Mike talked the whole time.
When Mike starts complaining, I start looking for my noise canceling head phones!!! Glad Earle can prepared.
If you have to worry about a man's commentary and cannot focus on what you need to do, you are a real-life loser.
@@SlickRick4EVER ohh, is that a little far?
@@SlickRick4EVER Many, many, many people are distracted by such as that. If you call someone a "loser" for that, you're a real-life, arrogant jerk.
Never wanted anyone to win a game of pool as much as I wanted Earl to win this.
Earl didn't want anything to do with Sigel this match. Sigel's slow play, that time out he called, talking about how his breaks compared to Earls will win tournaments every time, talking while Earl is shooting, and (above all) his claims of being the best player of all time, were nothing more than attempts to upset Earl. He's been using these tactics his whole career. He is the greatest example of poor sportsmanship in all of sports.
@@Chris-bm5qd exactly. He is just horrible obnoxious person, cant believe how people can look up to him. and calling him self the goat.... there are thousands of amateurs that are better than him these days, he prob paid efren to say those nice things about hes game:D wouldnt suprise me at all
@@JH-fk8ow l😊
yes sir agree 100 % lol
I've never seen anyone play the game with less enjoyment than Mike.
20:15 Mike fouled on the 9ball with his sleeve
Yup!
I'm surprised Earl didn't catch that.
im just surprised that not a single person that was watching that noticed it. Like come on ref you literally have one job
Mike actually makes a comment on the fact he touched the nine with his sleeve, and looks over at earl. I’m assuming earl wasn’t worried at all and decided it wasn’t worth taking the foul over it.
I think they were cue fouls only
Sigel is hands down the most annoying player that I’ve ever watched. I couldn’t be in the same room with this damn guy.
I agree what a freaking show he tries to put on !!!! Hope he never wins again
He’s for sure on of the most overrated players of all time
Oh, I can't understand why this always happens to me.....Blah...blah....blah. What a pain in the ass. And Earl has to always have some kind of apparatus....
Man I've been in pool rooms with all types including people much worse than either of these two.
Surely good manners or game etiquette would dictate that Sigel remain silent during his opponents shot time? I now understand why Strickland wore the headset...
Everybody is wearing headphones! Couldn't imagine sitting on a plane for any amount of time with this guy!
YEAH I don"t blame EARL for wearing headphones playing this Squirrel.
😂😂😂😂😂
Catto seigel
Both talk too much.
Mike won half of his pro title's by sharking his opponent
Earl was eerily quiet in this match. To me it looks like there's no way he can "outyap" Mike so he chose wisely. Love them both and thanks for this match :)
Totally agree
Nice to see Mike still playing and of course Earl too. Great legends of the game. Mike's definitely a character and must of pissed off alot of players back in the day. Mike's kids must be so embarrassed by their fathers constant need for a approval and attention.
haha shit, man. yeah, i am sure Mike's kids are so embarrassed by their father, arguably the greatest pool player of all time.
@@DavidKingsbury89 Everyone's entitled to an opinion and ill respect yours however the greatest pool player of all time is Efren Reyes. Shane Van Boeing, Earl Strickland and Willie Mosconi are ten times better than Mike Segiel. Come on?!
@@DavidKingsbury89 🤣 Y O U D U M B A S S
@@breakingballswithtony6897Mike Sigel won over 100 major tournaments and was inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame when he was 35 years old. It is ludicrous to suggest any of those players is far better than Sigel.
You can see why Earl is always named as one of the greatest players in the world.
You're right. Earl Strickland may be rabid and rude, but he is one of the best ever. Even Efren Reyes himself respected him a lot.
I know why Earl is wearing those headphones.
Mike . Lollll
To avoid mumble rumble from his own mouth... LOL 😂
If mike’s the poor woman
Came here to say this, lol
funny
No wonder Earl head those headphones on! Siegel added 20 minutes to this video by talking!
got your attention for sure LOL,,
two of the most legendary shit-talkers in pool history! lmao good seeing Earl playing well
But earl zip his ass this time and you know why🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really do enjoy watching these 2 guys playing. Both will interact with the crowd and both are living legends.
Much more entertainment then any mosconicup nowadays!
20:15 sigel moved the 9 completely and snookered because of that on the 2ball lollllllllllllll
Industrial headphones, robocop arm, commentators both in the background and beside the table...a pool match doesn't get better than this.
Nothing but respect from me for Earl here.
Glad to see Mrs. Sigel hanging in there.
Anyone noticed the guy with the green shirt in the top left corner? What a legend, man is he sleepy!! :-)
That red headed girl didn't exactly look full of life, either. I was thinking this might be an early morning or a late evening match. I dunno.
Earl looks like a homeless guy who broke his arm and tried to fix it with stuff he found in a dumpster.
😅🤣😂
Very good😂🤣
Haha noooo😂
Well, I'll brek my arm and put 10,000 band Aids on it if it will make me shoot like Earl .
LMAO !
Amazing composure from a man not known for always keeping his cool. Of all his games I've seen so far this is easily my favorite
I feel like Earl is trying to become some pool iron man with the amount of extra items he has equipped
I just love how Earl simplifies this game. No crazy stuff. Just plain.. Trusts the gods of reason.
Earl won’t hesitate to whip out some magic when he needs to though. He’s made some of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen; right up there with Efren.
@@pessimisticpuma totally agree bro
simplify? look at all the nonsense he's wearing and his gimmicks. great player but he's obnoxious
@@chriskindler10 hes a character. You have thousands of that.. You can say it on Mike Segal as well.. But eventually.. A player like Earl.. You wont see.
Levy & Kyle: The same is said about the way Bobby Fischer played chess.
my!!! how come no body saw Sigel move the 9 ball at 20:16!!!! that was ball on hand for Earl !!
Cheater!!!
I was shocked with that. Had to re-watch it a couple of times
It looks like that might have actually hurt him because after the shot the cue ball hit the 9 more full than it would have where it was before
unintentional, thats why pool games should promote short sleeved shirts.
I can totally relate to Earl with the headphones. I keep a pair in my car and wear them everywhere. I don't want to hear anybody or anything 90% of the time. We live in a noisy world.
So nice to hear good commintary no bias or punk talking down 2 of the best players ever.
Did this guy really just lick his entire hand before breaking the balls? Look, I was never a fan of Sigel but someone's gotta admit that was way over the top outrageous.
The very reason I checked comments. Just licked his whole hand... get a sport wrap or something.
nice playing with these two legendary pool players
Finally earl found someone he can talk to while playing 😂
Earl has his sarcasm in matches. it doesn' affect Mike
There's a lot going on in this game : First of all, Earl Strickland looks like he's trying to land a plane with his Lucky Air Traffic Control Headphones. And his arm looks like he's tried to Wrestle a Grizzly Bear, and do his own Medical Bandaging. And on top of it all at 30:50 you can see, a Large Gentleman wearing a Blue or Aqua shirt in the upper left corner. He must think it's Naptime, because he's continuously struggling to stay awake. 💤 LMAO 😆 Cheer's 🍺
I am watching won't miss this
If your watching Mike play...watch it with the volume off!!!!!!!!
Ok, Snowflake....
Lol why? Him chatting it up is one of the many reason to watch his matches. And in his day he always backed up that talk with some of the best pro pool ever seen.
The crazy thing on Earls bridge hand is so smart, it’s like xtra weight on a phone so you can film steady.
2 living legends thanks accu-stats
だんだんストリックランドさんが、サイバーパンクになってきてる
If I had to choose between being stuck in an elevator for 6 hours with these two or the end of humanity we had a good run people.
Haha they’re both my fav players though
Despite Mike being how he is, which is loud, Efren Reyes respects his intelligence on the table and even once said in an interview Mike is the player he admired the most and looked up to. Now that is coming fron the GOAT himself. Mike is a great Legend. Earl too.
When Mike played efrem Reyes, it was a joke, Mike played so bad, looked like school kid,efren just stayed quite, and beat mike pitiful, no contest at all, just making excuses the entire tournament, to me that's very rude to the other player, I believe it was for 500,000 ,one of the largest games ever.
@@robertford5274 it was 200,000 usd actually though efren didn't get all the money.
@@robertford5274 to be fair, mike hasn't played as much as efren that time.. he took some time away from pool for a couple years so it wasnt surprising he wasnt at his best
@@tawheedmohammed7220 That one Efren did receive. It was the $500,000 one in 2006 against Morris that he didn't get all the money. I'm not sure how much he got, in installments.
@@robertford5274 nvm both mike and earl are ahead h2h in 9 ball against reyes. No matter how humble and Nice reyes is that doesn't change the fact.
THIS IS EVEN BETTER WHEN WATCHING A SECOND TIME
Mike's such a know it all and makes certain everyone knows just how much he knows! Annoying at best. Last match I seen between these two Earl was complaining to Mike "you never shut up"! Headphones fixed that 👍
they banter on purpose,, calling it ENTERTAINMENT
Lol
20:14 Mike Sigel just moves the 9 like a mile or so 🤣
1:03:14. I bet Earl took off his headphones to listen to this tirade.
He sure did
Almost the entire commentary are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣makes my day🤣🤣🤣
Ear phones LOL! He really cracks me up , brilliant!
Great match
Hi these two players are great but when you put BATA in the picture you will release that they are playing different games
I've seen Earl beat Efren as much as the other way around. I'd say they're ABOUT equal.
Yet when efren first came to the states he lost to nick Varner, Keith McCready, buddy hall, Kim davenport, earl strickland, Johnny archer, etc.
Efren isn't the only pool player to exist 🙄
what brand are earl strickland's headphones?
a) GO TO HELL
b)TALK TO YOURSELF
c) NOT NOW
d0 YOUR MOMMA
Earl adapts to the new equipment (jump cue excluded).
Mike's game seems more fit for tables with wool cloth.
My favorite ledgend Earl Strickland, I learned alot from him
Sigel is the perfect example why one should have a good attitude. The perfect example of why one must choose what words they use.
I have watched him talked himself out of so many games.
Mike, you are not the best pool player that ever lived ! That’s a fact!
Efren Reyes is the
GOAT
100 toumernt wins says otherwise
The GOAT Efren Reyes is
Not even top 5.
@@voltairecarlin4790 def top 5 bro lol
Sigel is a crazy man
Good shot!!
Couldn't stop telling my phone to shut up and sit down. You too Mike, shut up and sit down
Awesome 👌
Thanks 🤗
it burns me up to hear sigel talk
Is it Winner break, Mike? I still don't know.
Who's the lumberjack that shoots so good?
Didn't referee Carswell also work for First Fidelity Bank some 25 years ago? Trivia
earl looks like he does landscaping for a living
earl the pearl! one of the best!
I've always seen Earl listed as one of the best in the history books and pundits, but Siegel rarely. The latter was able to win many tournaments in the 80s (when the participants per tournament were few), but he was not in the 90s when the great players boomed. He saw the threat from Reyes and Earl and retreated. So when he came back at 00 his game had sunk too low and outdated with his delays in executing shots, the game had already gone too far. That's the truth
is Earl listening to the rain forest or waves on the beach sounds ?
did anyone see 20:25 where sigel moved the ball with his shirt?
Does the table have a stain on the cloth, between the side pockets and slightly to our right?
Yes.
World Standardized Rules of Pocket Billiards.
"1.3 Players Use of Equipment
The equipment must meet existing WPAequipment specifications. In general, players are not permitted to introduce novel equipment into the game."
I don't know why I posted that rule. I guess I just got to thinking about weights, pads, tinted goggles, excessive tape on fingers, headphones.
Earl is smart. He wears the headphones to block out Mike's mouth distraction. Lolll you gotta do what you gotta do!
Does anybody know why he adds all that stuff to his arm
Thanks for watching the guy with the biggest eyebrow muscles and the biggest complainer in history!
Mike fouled in the 4th frame. He moved the 9 ball with his sleeve when playing the 1 ball in the side pocket, and didn't call it. He knew he had fouled.
Sigel barking constantly in the backgound would be sharking most places - probably why Earl has on headphones.
He's looking for a ear man that's what Buddy Hall says mike is always looking for a ear man LMAO
Earl is wearing the headphones so he doesn’t have to listen to mike haha lol that shits funny..
earl looks like he is settling into van life nicely now
That builder with the broken arm looks good!
Good shot
Can somebody, please, tell why Earl wears that cast and trape on his arm and fingers? Serious answers, please! I don't get it.
Extra weight for more stable bridge.
Earl should have worn headphones 🎧 his entire career.His wins would have been more and his mental health would have been much better.
It's just so strange to me that two of the best pool players of their generation complain SO much about the Oddest of things??!?
As for Earl, well.... we all know that there isn't a thing he won't complain about... the crowd, the table, the balls and even the ref... lol
Then you got Mike, he may not complain about AS MANY different things as Earl, but my God can he complain about every single shot he takes. And if he MISSES a shot 😣 you'd think the guy has never made a single ball in his life.. lol
Two Legends of the game no doubt, but neither will be accused of being outstanding sportsmen.
I guess that's what makes the GOAT Efren Reyes so special. Not only the most gifted player to ever wield a pool cue, but without doubt THE most humble of all "Goats".
He's so unassuming .... that if you ever met the man, you would never know he's considered the BEST of them all.
Kind, quiet and humble.... with simply a passion to play the game he loves. Nothing but Respect.
What is Mike doing in his pre-shot routine when he sticks the butt of the cue out to his left?
Chasing flies away, he's so stinky.
These guys together just remind me how upset they were playing against the Magician 😅
I loved watching Efren Reyes school these guys
Them 3 are very even head 2 head. Always some philipino stating stuff, always equally bad to read and take it serious.
Both Siegel and Strickland is ahead of Reyes in 9 ball head 2 head.
Lol
Again the efren fan boys have no idea what they are talking about. 🙄
This is why I love Earl 😂😂😂
34:48 Look at the big old man with the teal shirt behind Earl falling asleep in his chair 😂
Porqu usa eso alrededor del brazo ?
Older gentleman in the green shirt just napping when two legends are playing right in front of him...WOW
Did anyone saw Mike fowl the 9 ball in the 4 game I saw it plz watch again
We need to know when it happened.
Haha even the guy to mikes left has headphones😂😂 in fact just about 90% of the audience has headphones 🤣🤣
When a talkative player meets another talkative player 😂😂
Watch 9-ball at 20:15!!! is that normal or just because référé didn't see it?
Woop Woop Woop Woop
ah, a relaxing Saturday night and I'm settling in to watch Mike Segal play some pool.
but first I need to gather up any rope, shoe laces, plastic bags, knives - anything I can do harm to myself with, and put it out in the locked cupboard in the shed.
Money could be made selling headphones to the crowd. 😂
Porqué Earl tiene eso en el brazo?
Is this a different match than the old one you already uploaded?
its old
Yes, it is different. First time Premiered.
51:30 I hate when I'm the best player that ever lived and the guy I'm playing against is beating me on the same table I'm playing on just because my stroke looks like I'm having a stroke. It would have been great if Earl said, "We're playing on the same table, aren't we?"
Best enjoyed with the sound off
So they just ignored him moving the 9 ball at 20:15?
EO : How many chalk do you need?
Earl and Mike : Yes...
Wait didn’t Mike foul at 20:18 when his sleeve touched the 9
