I agree, just a publicity stunt but then again, the PBA needs all the publicity they can get. How about a match with Vin Gerard against Bill O'Neil or Osku Palermo?
So apparently there is a wrestler out there named Vin Gerrard. He called out the PBA and he thinks he can beat any professional. He made a video about challenging any bowler to a three game match. If he wins, he gets to compete in the PBA World Championship and if he loses, the winner gets to cut his hair. Here is the original video: http://vimeo.com/45878753
So far I have seen two video responses by professional bowlers. One was by Sean Rash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMkgwNqEcQc
The other was by Jason Belmonte: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qaig...layer_embedded
Anyway, what is your opinion on this? I personally think this is just a promotional thing for both the PBA and wrestling. It seems like they are both just trying to get publicity out of this.

i've always loved wrestling, so this is fun for me
vin did a nice typical heel promo which was good
rash was boring and dull.
belmo on the other hand was pretty cool. he took the time to go and cut a wrestling style promo, which was perfect for this situation.
now if this happened with an actual name guy, and not some indie wrestler, I'd say they could probably get some sort of TV special out of it for fun. idk if they could with this vin guy though
Hahahahahahaha.....That video made me start laughing about 30 seconds into it. I would love to see Belmonte take him on and make him look like Mr. Clean. I wonder if it will actually happen. If it does, I hope someone gets it on video. It would be good for a laugh.
I have to agree it sure does look and sound like a publicity stunt
between the wrestling world and the PBA. LOL!!! Heck I'm no PRO
but I'd even be willing to go up against Mr.Gerrard on the lanes for
a 3 game set as I have never let anyone intimidate me when I'm out
there on the lanes bowling.

This just reminds me of how much I hate wrestling. Wasn't always that way, in fact for a few years I was around the wrestling business. I did a little training to be a wrestler, and had a hand full of pro matches. Now when I look at wrestling I just laugh and turn it off. I miss old school ECW, as far as I'm concerned that was the best promotion on the planet. As for this guy, he's just cutting a stupid wrestling promo, looking for attention. I would be interested to see if he can even bowl at all. However I would be willing to bet most of the people on this board can give him a whoopin. Would be interesting to see the match with him bs Belmo. Put it on TV, because this guy will never get on TV for his wrestling.
I saw that PBA jumped on board today and promoted Belmo on this. Maybe it might spark a little interest in bowling during an otherwise off time
