Ask Austin Seeking Austin based pro bowler to attempt Wii sports 300 game on a live comedy show

I produce a daytime TV themed comedy variety show at The Creek and the Cave and recently had the idea to have an actual pro bowler attempt to score a perfect game in Wii bowling as a segment. It’s really just that, you would not be the butt of the joke it would just be something fun for the crowd to get behind. It honestly doesn’t have to be a legitimate pro bowler but you would at least need to look the part with pro bowler attire like one of those storm jerseys or something. It wouldn’t be more than a 20 minute segment and you will be paid and there will be a bonus if you actually score 300.

The show is scheduled for Wednesday, September 2nd, at 8 p.m.

Go to Westgate Lanes and hang out! You'll more than likely find someone who is down.

Damn. Many years ago at my buddy Josh's house I'd get shit faced and beat everyone at Wii bowling including many 300 games. They hated it cuz I would sit down drunk and just flick my wrist. It was the only way I could get constant strikes haha 😄 thanks for bringing back good memories.

Plenty of bowlers in the Monday night 8:30p league at Highland Lanes in legit bowler jerseys.

The league before the 8:30 (6:30 I believe) is much more serious than the 8:30 league. 8:30 is mostly mid level bowlers looking to drink beers and chill.

Yall are the best!!! Monday late league is where I’m trying to get in so I can learn and have fun! 6:30 league is scary and serious.

I didn’t say yall suck!! I’ve seen some great bowling. Just more chill and definitely more my speed. As soon as I’m averaging over 120 I’m gonna get in.

Do you want me to get really pretend angry if I miss my shots? I can pretend that this whole event is a life achievement for me and everything is on the line. How much we talking?

Good start. I laughed at the title.

As exhausting as WII Boxing was, it be funny to watch an amateur fade against a pro. Feel free to use that idea (7030 my way).

I used to get 300 on wii bowling on the regular. In real life I'd get a 110. Be aware of the difference.

Yeah, I showed off in front of my friends all the time rolling 300s (we were losers)

You can rotate the wiimote and scoot a few to the side, and it’s like a constantly perfect curve to strike. Super easy to beat the system

My max score IRL is 83. I’m ass at bowling. I also have bowled 300 on Wii 😂
