Featured bowlers after the film

Wayne Webb never won another regular PBA Tour title after the completion of the film. He now runs Wayne Webb's Columbus Bowl in Columbus, Ohio, and has a karaoke business on the side. He later joined the PBA Senior Tour (for players age 50 and older), and made a splash by winning the 2008 Senior U.S. Open. In 2010, he was named PBA Senior Player of the Year.

Chris Barnes earned his first-ever PBA Player of the Year award in the 2007-08 season. He captured his 18th tour title in January, 2015 at the DHC PBA Japan Invitational finals. He twice won what was (at the time) the biggest prize check in the history of televised bowling ($200,000) by winning the Motel 6 Roll to Riches events in 2005 and 2006.

In September, 2006, Walter Ray Williams Jr. surpassed Earl Anthony on the PBA's All-Time titles list with his win over Pete Weber in the Dydo Japan Cup. Walter currently has 47 PBA Tour titles after winning the USBC Masters in February, 2010. He is still on the regular PBA tour at age 56, and also participates in the PBA Senior Tour.

Pete Weber is currently fourth on the PBA's all-time list with 37 titles, following his Tournament of Champions victory on March 31, 2013. That victory tied Weber with Earl Anthony for the most major championships in PBA Tour history (10). Like Williams, Weber now competes on both the regular and senior PBA Tours.
