LIVING LEGENDS CHALLENGE: Mike Sigel vs. Earl Strickland: 8-Ball

Match one from the Mike Sigel vs Earl Strickland challenge match, held at Sandcastle Billiards on February 23 - 25, 2018. Both players were mic'ed up during the entire match. Talking to each other, the fans and even themselves. Commentators: John Bender, Bill Hendrixson Accu-Stats introduced what turned out to be, as Mike Pannozo at Billiard Digest, "The most entertaining way to watch pool ever" What's so different about this one-on-one? Both players have open wireless microphones strapped to their hip. Pat Fleming compounded Pannozo's observation, "It's not so much about the score, it's about the banter!" And the banter got more acerbic, and profane, as "Mike the Mouth" struggled in the opening disciplines. Earl, no stranger to sharing his pearls of wisdom with the crowd, soon responded in kind. So beware, the unexpurgated version gives new meaning to "colorful" commentary. And, now that you have been made aware that this may not be your usual sedate, and sanctified, Accu-Stats commentary, let's get to the six discipline format of the first ever LIVING LEGENDS CHALLENGE. Six disciplines are 8-Ball, 9-Ball, 10-Ball, Straight Pool, One Pocket, and Banks. After six matches, if a player has fallen too far behind, in an offer of the opportunity of redemption, he gets to choose the next game. - - - - - - - - - You can watch over 400 Accu-Stats Arena matches from the 2018 - 2022 INTL 9-BALL OPEN and 2016-2022 Derby City Classic, 2015-2017 US Open 9-Ball, as well as other Accu-Stats Invitationals on Accu-Stats Vimeo Subscription service: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/asvod/ Website: http://www.accu-stats.com Facebook:   / accustats   Twitter:   / accustatspool   Instagram:   / accu_stats_.  .
