LIVE Stream On PBA.com’s Xtra Frame from Reno’s National Bowling Stadium



SEATTLE (January 6, 2009) — Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour fans have spoken via online vote at pba.com and the match-up they want to see in the first-ever “Xtra Frame Game” live streaming video exhibition match is between longtime rivals Walter Ray Williams Jr. vs. Pete Weber.



The match will air live on PBA.com’s Xtra Frame Wednesday, Jan. 7, at 6:15 p.m. PT.



Over 50% of the 4,000 online voters chose the clash of two of the PBA’s greatest icons. Both are Hall of Famers and were ranked in the top 5 all time in PBA history as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration (Weber was 4th, Williams remains one of the three top ranked players whose final standing is yet to be revealed).



Williams Jr. added to his record number of career titles with victory 45 at this season’s Lake County Indiana Golden Anniversary Championship. 34-time titlist Weber, after a successful offseason bowling internationally, has yet to make a telecast this year.



WHAT’S AT STAKE? (With side note on Walter’s recent dominance over Pete on TV and that they have the biggest rivalry in the game)



The exhibition match is the first of its kind on pba.com’s Xtra Frame, a subscription streaming video service that features live match play round coverage of regular events, exclusive interviews with PBA stars and archived coverage of ESPN telecasts.



“In effect, this is bowling’s first pay-per-view match,” said PBA COO Tom Clark. “And the fans made a great choice. Who wouldn’t want to watch Walter Ray vs. PDW under any circumstance?”
