I bowled a pro am on Long Island about 10 years ago, was paired with Wayne Webb. I was surprised, he wasn't very nice to anyone, wasn't friendly, it was quite obvious he didn't want to be there...
Marshall and Wayne met three times before in a championship match. March, 1981, Overland Park, Kansas. Holman won, 181-168. February, 1985, Venice, Florida. Holman won, 233-205. March, 1985, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Webb won, 198-192.
As for the comment about Webb not being friendly in the pro am, it should be noted that a lot of pros do not like bowling in the pro ams; not sure why. I knew a couple of touring pros and during a conversation they indicated that a lot of pros would smoke weed before a pro am so that they would not be bored out of their minds. I kept score in a pro am at Winser Locks lanes in Ct. in the 70s and two of the pro bowlers who were bowling on adjacent lanes were very much stoned.
I noticed the same thing, NYDanno85. You'd think ESPN would have had that right as the U.S. Open is one of bowling's premier events. I believe mrbowling300 has that match on here.
The Kansas City stat ESPN gave is wrong - Holman and Webb faced off in the 1985 U.S. Open. I don't know who has it, but the video is up here somewhere.
In the documentary, "A League of Ordinary Gentleman" there is footage of Wayne rolling with his 1980s form (letting the ball hang, bouncing it off his thigh, etc). I wonder why he switched in the 90s...and why he switched back...
Well, this comment was only 12 years ago...but he said in an interview earlier on this telecast that he changed his form - to be smoother - because of neck problems he experienced.
You know, I think that's a reason the PBA Tour has gone down in popularity. There really aren't any bad boy personalities or characters on tour anymore. They need more of them and people will watch.
Spoiler alert!!!!!!! . . . . . . . . This was The Bald Ego’s last win on the big tour. It was his first win in eight years. Were mullets still “in” in 1996?
Loved watching this back then.my wife and I bowled for years..still luv watching the old repeats.glad theres so many

A lot of pro golfers are the same way.
Man, I would NOT mess with that mullet.

Wayne Webb says "business up front, party in the rear"
Seems like the light hit is what got the best pin action at those lanes that day

Wow, Ron Jeremy is a good bowler.
3:56: Marshall and Wayne met after 1981. How about you watch the 1985 U.S. Open???
@syntonik
I think that was 1990.
Correct tournament, but it was in 1990.
I have always wondered,did anyone ever tell you that mullet was a good choice
its a columbia stingray youre thinking about. i have one. but waynes ball is the xtc
I miss Marshall not bowling as much anymore
I don't think he does any bowling at all just commentary.
hair advantage clearly goes to Wayne.

Wolf12395: Yeah, he needs a haircut.
@ dunner228. I would bet a dollar to a dime that the ball Wayne is using is a Columbia Piranha.
With his old game, Webb had way too much hand with the newer equipment
Marshall holman scares me.... lol
the only webb i know is spud web :p
And he threw a gutterball too!
@dunner228
Well, they're all red...LOL!!!
