When The Mob Controlled Bowling (The Action Bowling Era)

Title: When The Mob Controlled Bowling (The Action Bowling Era) Title 2: The Dark Era of Bowling: Mob Money, Hustlers & Redemption Before bowling was a family sport, it was controlled by the mob. This video covers the dark era of action bowling in the 1960s and 70s when bowling alleys were gambling dens run by organized crime. I tell three incredible true stories from this era including Ernie Schlegel, the hustler who became a Hall of Famer, Iggy Russo who faked a heart attack to escape mobsters, and Bob Perry who went from champion to homeless addict before winning it all in an incredible comeback. This is bowling's hidden history that most people don't know about. This documentary was essential to both researching and creating this video as the back half is based on this source and others, if you want a more in depth story of Bob Perry check it out here:    • High Roller: The Bob Perry Story - iWonder...   Comment your thoughts below, also like and subscribe for more :) Sub so I can hit 30k by the end of the year!
