Pete Weber tries to win his fifth U.S. Open title, which would be the all-time record, but has to get by Ryan Shafer, Jason Belmonte and Mike Fagan to succeed.
This is the event after which Weber exclaims these legendary words: "Who do you think you are? I am!"
Originally aired February 26, 2012 on ESPN from Brunswick Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

59:03 Honestly very inspiring words.
🤣🤣🤣
i’m dying 😭😭😭 I did not expect that
lmao perfect
💀💀💀💀
Hahahahah I’m crying 🤣
This was the only bowling event I ever watched live ... I picked the most legendary bowling event of all time
Who do you think you are ? I am!!!
We’re you the guy makin Pete mad? Lol
@@jackolson6479 hopefully
Same! Wow
Same lol what a coincidence
28:25 You don’t want to get on his bad side. This guy… he used to burn paper with a magnifying glass… *at night*
noo. noooooooo..
Weber is a 52 year old, 151 pound alcoholic! Why would anybody be afraid of this moron?
@@lcaceci43 Who do you think you are. I AM!
Perfect line up sponge in reference……. AT NIGHT hahaha this is nerd paradise
This guy takes out the trash.....at night 👉
Say what you want about Weber. He saved the sport on a pro level when it needed it. And he was present enough on TV every week that ratings took off. Plus he got even more clutch the older he got.
He's entertaining the other bowlers for the most part just sort of sit there in silence
Bowling isn't a sport
PDW is the GOAT on multiple levels
@@oceanshrugs9235 Na'ah...Walter Ray Williams is the GOAT. But Pete is the most fun guy to watch.
Na....Earl Anthony is the GOAT.
2:57 “he once killed two stones with one bird”
Tucker Strack that’s Pepper Brooks level color commentary!
@@Turbo9987 this is such a random comment to reply to but holy shit. you're RIGHT. not so fun fact, pepper has been my Facebook profile picture for periods of time. 😂 "GO BALLS DEEP!"
Gary Thorne is a treasure
LMAO...you know what's funny? My Marine Corps drill instructor used to say that on purpose. Two stones with one bird.
Two birds stoned at once
The fact that *WEBER* won the *69TH* US Open is GOLD! 🤣🤣
You got so much likes bro😎
And he was the only one at that point (and still is I believe) to win 5 us opens
People to this day still don't know who Pete was talking too. Some say it was a a guy, others say Pete was fighting with his inner demons. he's crazy
Eric,,there is a video out with PDW explaining what happened and Why he said that. You see, there was this "heckler" in the Audience. The person would not say anything while PDW bowled but did in between phrames. I don't remember what PDW said about what that heckler said, I just know it bothered PDW but he came through and Focused his Victory over at the stands where that heckler was. That video is here on UTube. Just gotta search for it.
Still has no right to go crazy at a fan don't care what the fan was doing he has no right players learn to block things out cop on Pete he would give out to a crying baby if someone would let him I had to turn this off because he shouting 😠 he dosnt dosnt make bowling better for me that's my opinion which am aloud to have
PEET! PEET! PEET! PEET! PEET! PEET!
Aine Lawler You can have WHATEVER opinion you want to have. That is totally true. Do you think a 'fan' has the right to say shit during a title match against one of the players? I dont know who can play a title match this good, with a noisy butt faced 'fan' saying shit all the way through, but Pete did it great.
You can see can see behind Pete, when he steps up to the approach. The older guy right behind him, is already looking at the dude acting a fool.
58:58 What would it mean for him to win today?" Mike Fagan: *does mannequin challenge*
"Everything"
I'm watching 4 years later on KZhead,, and I'm still afraid to move on his backswing...
LOL!!!!! U AND ME BOTH
Sam Roelke you're afraid of a scrawny old man? Lol.
Ikr
Because even 4 years later (almost 7 years later for me) you know that if you moved on his backswing PDW would turn and pin you down with that death stare until you turned into dust, lol
Meet him on the street? He's a scrawny old man. On the lanes though? He was the most intimidating bowler on the planet at that time. It's like saying you'd be intimidated by Tiger Woods on the golf course. Sure, you're 6'6" and you weight 275, and you have 2 black belts in martial arts. But on the golf course we don't measure your ability to fight, we go by how scary you are to compete against. If you had to play golf against Tiger, you'd be scared, and so would I. That's what we mean with PDW.
51:18 this dude legit looks and sounds like a supervillain lmao
His name would be Captain Cokehead!
A nickelodeon villain.
You misspelled DIVA
59:02 wtf lol
Bruh I can't stop laughing
Lmfao 😂
Hilarious
it's randy said "mike stay still you look cool" but then he got confused lmaooo
Right after that did he sniff his bowling ball
To all of those who are wondering what his famous, “Who do you think you are? I am?!” Quote is about... He said in an interview, from For The Win, it was towards a child who was giving him shit. He meant to say “who do you think you are rooting against me? I’m the man of this tournament!” But his emotions were so high, he couldn’t get it out the right way.
bro got it out the PERFECT way, he is simply him. whatever we think we are, he already is.
@@Cody2ndI mean, we all would in this scenario? Imagine if some little brat talked smack at you. You’d love to rub it in his face
@@armorpro573no, only another child would feel this way... Hence why this guy said it
@@resinfingers3896 Whatever

False. All of it
Gus VanHorn hehe
Weber can't hold Belmonte's jock
@@NateCraven318 couldn't beat up an egg🤣🤣🤣
@Gus VanHorn I mean if he wanted too don't really know if he's about that though
1:07:50 - This is AMAZING. I'm pretty sure it's Pete asking his wife "did he just say big balls?" holy shit, that makes this even more legendary on top of it being the 69th US Open.
Pete with some great clutch bowling and the iconic one liner 1:20:41 for a real human moment
so much to love about this. the fact that it’s on ESPN. it’s the 69th US open. Gary Thorne on the call. And of course Pete Weber. what a combination.
69th? Nice.
happy 100 likes
Even better? That comment was directed at a 12 year old.
Everything about this game is peak bowling
47:06 lol this announcer is hilarious
I love them lol
2:54 Nothing more intimidating in life than seeing a 5'7 dude who weighs a buck 55 strike that pose.
More like 135
He killed 2 stones with 1 bird, watch yourself
Is that how big he really is?? 😂 Damn I didn't know he was that small?? 🥴 douchebag but he can bowl no doubt
Ya, pretty scarey. The pro bowlers tour has been trying to portray these guys as “athletes” when they are nothing but attention seeking divas. Gimme a break.
If Pete Weber ate 10 pounds of spaghetti before weigh in, he'd weigh no more that 115 lbs.
Pete talking with Belmonte after hitting the first strike of frame 10 is so wholesome, gotta love how respectful and encouraging he is to the other players, especially somehow who's idolized him for years
Here for the 9 year anniversary of the greatest moment in the sport
"he killed 2 stones with one bird" lmaoooooooo 2:59
I love how Triple H’s theme song just starts playing lmao
I saw Ol' Pete doing the DX Chop a couple of times.
Funny story about that. 100% true. Pete is a big wrestling fan and before this he used to use the Degeneration X song for his strike music up to about 2009-2010-ish I think it was. I used to work on the PBA tour just as set help but traveled quite a few times to do several events. The guy I worked for brought me to Columbus, OH for the Don Johnson event and on a Saturday during the Pro-Am event Pete was outside talking and taking pics with fans coming in. I just happened to be out there. I noticed he was carrying his bag and several balls with him as he was taking pics on the sidewalk of the bowling center so I made my way over to the door to wait on him to hold the door for him. When he finished up, he spun around to walk in and I opened the door for him and got out of his way and I said to him, "Time to play the game." He stopped for a second, looked up at me with a sort of inquisitive look and proceeded to walk in to take care of business. Soon after this his music changed to the Triple H music. Was it because of my comment, I don't really know, I cant take credit for that but it did and still does make me smile when I hear it playing. Fun times doing those events.
That's "The Game" by Motörhead for ya.
1:18:40 MOM WHAT DO YOU THINK. He sounds like Dave Chappelle when he’s doing the crack head voice 😂
Hahahahahahaha thank you for that perspective you are so right
Of course the most iconic phrase from bowling happened in the 69th finals
One of the greatest moments in sports history
Lol, no
I don't know why, but for some reason at 56:43 the part where Randy says are we watching a bowling match or a boxing match. That part always gets me everytime. 😂
And being this big of a Pete fan, you can't lose a match in a more heartbreaking way than Fagan did. What a match.
Koivuniemi vs Duke, US Open 2011 Championship Match
"if they move again I want 'em moved" 😂
Ya can't really blame him for saying that. This was way too important for Pete Weber. He's the kind of guy to put ya through all of the emotions, that's for sure!!!
Timestamp
then talks on Belmonte's tenth frame
@@ronaldshank7589 yes you can. Hes a pro. You don't treat fans like that especially in bowling you know how hard it is to get ppl to watch? Then you gonna threaten them because they flinch? I wish I would have been there they would have had to make me leave it would have been on sports center "man cussed Pete Weber out at bowling event" cuz he can't whip me and if he would have tried it would have been ugly. I would have started acting a fool as soon as he said something.
@@gamingsagepro1018 Pete is a big baby, can't carry a 10 pin and blames someone cause they blinked.
Say what you want about Pete Weber he was 18 years old bowling in league with adults and holding his own. He was a big part of bringing bowling back. No disrespect to all the pros. I love watching them all.
Who do you think you are, I am? - classic
All-time classic match. Wow. Also, Gary Thorne was awesome as the play-by-play guy. I wish he did more bowling shows.
I agree. His “a strike to claim it” call is every bit as effective as Al Michaels’ “ Do you believe in miracles, YES!”. He should do more bowling. His voice is subtle enough for the quiet intensity required to call this sport.
Put Gary Thorne at NBC. Since Mike Emrick retired, Thorne would be a great replacement for Doc.
@@BHV0810 Since hockey's coming back to ESPN... Gary on the play by play? Pretty please?
@@MattThe Hope so. He's great
Gary Thorne made that as exciting as possible. Who would have known he would be involved in such an iconic moment.
10 years Later and PDW is Taking Names in the [ PBA 50] Tour.
41:42 man really just sped up his shot for a commercial break lmao 🐐👍🏻
He's worked so long and hard. He deserves this win. He's unquestionably one of the greatest ever. God bless you Pete, you lovable sicko.
Aaron Stein Exactly.
35 years 10 majors belmo 13 years 13 majors belmo is the Goat
@@kicks4kicks35 Let me see Jason win a Major in 15 years pal. Also Pete unquestionably played against and beat, many many more legendary players than Jason.
Weber is my favorite.
I always felt Pete had to live in the shadow of his father. Not an easy chore in life when your Dad was so legendary.
Who else is here after he bowled his last frame on tour today? 😢
Me
Me, I wish he would just bowl last 2 Majors of 2021 so he could get 11 Majors to be the 2nd to have the most Majors under Belmo. But no and it’s ok. Good Luck on the PBA50 PDW, the best PBA US Open Champ.
1:17:28 me when I cook my hot pocket at just the right temp so I can bite into it right out of the microwave
😂😂😂😂
Gary Thorne is awesome, he could make a funeral sound excited. His introduction of this tournament is one of the best I've ever heard.
You should hear him in College Football, and in the NHL.
I can’t believe this was ten years ago, I’m getting old
the greatest ladder climb and clutch finish in all of bowling ever.
I never took bowling serious until some of my roommates started working at the bowling alley. Here I learned it's a serious competitive game and compared to others, this game tests the mental resilience of its players like no other.
The most legendary pop off of all time
With 8 words he single handedly brought in billions to the sport of bowling.
After watching this many times I never caught him saying “Balls out” before his last shot until now.
Sunday afternoons on ESPN were LIT when bowling came on
he simply made bowling EXCITING TO WATCH =TRUTH!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I definitely agree 💯 I don't like him but I love to watch him 👌 no bullshit
1:17:48 when the wife catches ya having any kind of fun. 😂
That was the look of “were on national television and now were forever a meme”
I think Weber was so fired up for this cause he seen the writing on the wall he knew Belmo was the future and he wanted to prove he still had what it took to take Belmo down. 2 of my all time favorite bowlers both legends in the sport.
Not really the same, but it kinda reminds me of Brady taking down Mahomes in the Super Bowl when he was in Tampa. An all time great just not ready to pass the torch yet
So GLAD this showed up on youtube for me again. Pete you were the best!!!! Sure loved to watch you bowl.
what a great win and what a great bowler under pressure.
My god… Gary Thorne is great! Miss him on the Orioles baseball and espn hockey calls. That “Strike to claim it, ANDD HE GOT IT” call gives me goosebumps! And then ofc the emotion from Pete was great. 😊
1:17:37 "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! I AM!" That has to be one of the greatest lines ever said in bowling.
“THAT IS WHY I DID IT!” i also love the pause he makes after realizing what he just said
What does it mean?
Pete’s 7 8 9 Frames are A Thing Of Beauty. And Great Roll In The 10. Great Game Pete
Pete Weber what a legend!
42:08 tweeter
But when Marshall Holman acted like that, he didn't get away with it from his fans, they "Booed" him thru most of the matches. He stated later after his PBA career that it was a defense mechanism due to his nervousness during matches. You have to be a real pro to admit that IMO. He was one of the best of the PBA members.
There’s way to deal with those matters and then there are those who are just assholes who are full of themselves…I can just imagine Weber at a restaurant or checking into his hotel…I pity those who have to deal with him. Unless they’re doing jumping jacks, you can’t stop a fan from moving his head. It’s the fans that are making him his money at the end of the day.
@@canadiankrispybacon1450if a fan is going to be a dick and heckle the players have a right to be upset and heckle back. Why tf is that an issue for so many people
Back to back memorable US Opens
The REAL Greatest of all Time! P.D.W.
+emptycorp Meh. He's top 5.
The GOAT...Would be past WRW if not for his demons, his fault, but the most physically talented ever, even if he is a head case
The ONLY record WRW Jr. holds is most titles. Last I heard they were tied at 100 total of regional, senior regional, PBA, and PBA50 titles. Pete also is tied for most majors, 10 with earl anthony, and is the only person to ever win 5 BPAA Allstars / US Opens. His style is flawless, and his charisma and attitude brought bowling back from the grave. He is the GOAT winning endless titles and majors in both old bowling and new bowling. WRW can't win shit on PBA tour in recent years and Pete has won majors in recent years.
I'm on your side.
Substantiating claim for AOB and others. Never noticed his reply before.
Damn, Scott the engineer really is about that bowling life! Lol. He got front row seats
DUDE I JUST COMMENTED THIS BEFORE I SAW YOUR COMMENT! Is that actually him or just some look alike?
@@GeoSlash99 It's him, bald head and all. He was in way too many camera shots ESPN.
Just like 9/11. Scott's at the bowling alley.
As Motörhead’s “The Game” is playing in the background.
Bill Crane He’s a huge WWE fan, that’s why I love Pete so much. Just wish there was an interview somewhere of him talking about WWE in length.
What a fucking CLUTCH shot to win it; the man, the myth, the legend
pete weber is the john mcEnroe of bowling...so intense..so fun to watch!
Earl the pearl Strickland comes to mind , Love em both though
Pete Weber is Pete Weber. John McEnroe couldn't lick the bottoms of Pete's shoes.
Weber is crazy but he is a very good player
Love it!!!! They'll never be another PDW!
Never know
I don’t even bowl and I’ve watched this 50 times. Legendary
Don't know what I'm more shocked by, Pete winning his 5th title or Scott the engineer of the Howard Stern Show having a great seat for it.
I thought the same thing I was scrolling the comments to see if that was actually him lol
Why is this so interesting I’m not even into bowling or anything I just came to see the iconic line from weber but I’m watching the whole thing now💀
Bruuuuuh this is me right now and I don’t regret it 😭🔥🎯
12 years later, Pete is still a fucking legend! Love or hate the antics, he entertained and did it at elite level. That cannot be ignored.
Fagan’s 10th frame was perfect. Man if he had one or two more frames like that
If he wouldn't have had that open frame it the 8th frame, a certain Pete Weber wouldn't have been getting his 5th Title. All it took was that one mistake on Fagan's part. One mistake. Oh, well...it is what it is.
Big Sean brought me here. I wish I knew of this sooner.
This is an absolute all time sports classic!!
Coldest line with the greatest theme song of all the time❄️❄️❄️
and people say bowling is not a sport
Evan Headley that's good stay focused and finish your tournaments and you can get scholarship money so you don't have to pay for college. Also never give up and one day you could be up there on the TV screen
Evan Headley thats good keep up the good work also remember if you don't get your strikes always go for your spares and if you don't get your spares just knock some pins down
Evan Headley sure
Evan Headley no problem how many bowling balls do you have
I have 3 im a Colombian 300 guy
This needs a deep rewind from SB nation
......and to Pete, your dad was awesome.
I could never imagine the most legendary quote ever stated was in a bowling match
“Who do you think you are? I AM!” + triple H theme song at the end = one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Video: welcome to the 69th- Me: Nice Video: US open Im so happy one of the most iconic moments happened to a man famous for hip thrusts on the 69th edition of the US Open
Yo this was a great match. Weber with the commentary at the end. Gotta love the passion.
To me Pete Weber is the best PBA bowler of all time. Starting at such a young age - shooting his first 300 at age 16 then being able to adjust in the plastic, the urethane, and the reactive eras. Also his side roll is very unique where he could play any part of the lane with 1/2 the revs as a normal power player. He was the pure power stroker. He also picked up his spares. This shot in the 10th frame was 100% solid - for such a pressure shot - it was perfect. He conquered that flat condition like no one else - and had it not been the divorces, the drugs, the alcohol, the controversies, and the suspensions, he would have won 10-15 more titles on tour. To me it is the greatest game (form) of all time.
it was an exciting stepladder finals in the 69th U.S. Open
I remember watching this live.... "who do you think you are.. I Am."
If a Guy Could Win 2 back to Back US Opens that Guy would be my Hero😊
My view is; "it is not the oil pattern that is tough here" it is rather the pressure and the focus on the mechanics that causes pulling the shot and slowing the speed leaving splits that are difficult under this pressure: Pete and Brian are both very capable of bowling under pressure.
Pete be the guy who gets in your face in cargo shorts, tank top and sandals drinking a coffee and tries to fight you because he’s never seen you before 🤣
the moment you realize bowling would not be what it is if it wasn't for PDW is the moment you learn to shut up on his back swing and respect the man
He is the Best
Still electrifying.
Wiser words have never been spoken
Hate him or love him it’s more entertaining to watch when people are showing emotion.
its almost 1 am and im drinking soy sauce while watching this no im not ok
How are you today?
@@xx4rch4xx probably dead
I like his first name ❤❤🎉😂 "...he killed 2 stones w/ one bird" ...😂hilarious🎉💯💥👍🔥💕
Aside from the ending of this tournament, the intro was perfect!
No idea what he meant by “who do you think you are I am” but damn he was hyped 😂
a fan was fucking with him throughout the match
@@maverick4615 yea but the phrase itself doesn’t really make sense 😹
Your first problem is trying to make sense of it with rational human logic. Just sit back and enjoy.
I don't care I'd watch bowling if it had all Pete Webber's he is flippin awesome. Athletes that show attitude, bravado, high energy is great! It goes to a whole other level when they can talk the talk and walk the walk.
Pete is the man...he will ALWAYS be the man! Attitude! Love it!
Pete Weber and Mike Fagan have bowled some exciting matches
Gary Thorne amazing commentator. By far the funniest bowling video I've seen
I love that Pete Weber using Triple H's theme music lol that's badass
69th edition, huh? Nice.
Thanks Gary
