  1. Brilliant Memories here Bring this back Am sure Judd trump one day will become another people’s champion

  2. Holy hell, it’s just ads now. YouTube is truly taking the piss.

  3. what cue is Ronnie holding in the intro ? Looks like a pool cue but he used a snooker cue for pool

  4. Anyone can win playing pool, as was just shown.. let's see the US team play snooker against a European team..

  5. Massey Looks so uncomfortable cuing …. so useless at positioning I do not care what a brilliant Champion he was He plays a boring Game Snooker players have Class and style at Cuing ….

  6. HTF has Massey made a career in this sport. His stance is truly awful. "USA legend"???
    [Edit] … and WTF was the rule they pulled out of their arse at 39:10?? You can't play the cue ball off the cushion first? What if Ronnie had fully snookered himself? Would the rule still apply??

  7. Anybody else confused by the scoring structure during the Mosconis Cup?…………….I still dont have a clue.

  8. Feel like Ronnie beat himself here. Winning his first couple of games, then winning the first set so easily, you can sense him become complacent. He then misses several pots after not even checking the potting angle, plays a few loose positional shots, and of course forgets/is ignorant of the rules. Massey was playing badly and had no right to win this.

  9. pool aside….the hand touching the hi fives…..seeing from now gives me cringes 😂 it will never be the same 🤭😂

  10. Ronnie gave him this. This was during Ronnie's drinking days. You can tell how inconsistent he played. Massey is a great guy and a legendary pool player, but not in Ronnie's league. Earl strickland or efren Reyes, in their respective primes, could compete with Ronnie.

  11. Massey is a bum, can shoot something but overall game understanding is so fkn poor for a pro player.

  12. A champion snooker player, having only played a couple of 9 ball games, doesn't even bother to learn the rules & beats Earl the Pearl Strickland. What a joke this game is. The guy he plays here has no idea where the cue ball is going & still somehow wins, shows how stupid this game is.

  13. The problem with American commentators is that they CAN'T control the INTONATION or volume of THEIR VOICES!!!!

  14. 2022 Ronnie has collected over £12 million in his career (= $17 million) in snooker prize money.. so 9 ball was played for fun..

  15. The commentators are quite cringe. Being a snooker player, any of those pool shots are potable, especially the ones faced by both.

  16. Massey rarely used inside or check, all running English. Pocketing the two in the 4th he used running again and out of position on three, on playing of which he scratched. Had he used inside he so easily could have come back up for three in the bottom right corner. I'm surprised because I'm sure many of Massey's trick shot lessons are about just that kind of use of English

  17. I would like to see all these American Pool players try out snooker for a change! We have smaller pockets, bigger tables, and loads of balls! We should make an invitational series with all the top pool players from the US!

  18. I hate people acting like Americans can't play Snooker..I never liked the game of Snooker but I did used to gamble by playing 9 Ball on a snooker table…
