EFREN REYES vs CJ WILEY - 1994 US Open 9-Ball Championship

“The Magician” Efren Reyes faces CJ Wiley at the 19th US Open 9-Ball Championship in Chesapeake Virginia in September of 1994.

This was a matchup between two legends of the game.

While Reyes had yet to win a US Open 9-Ball Championship at the time of this match, he was already known as one of the best players in the sport.

Wiley was also a great player in his own right, and had just defeated Rodney Morris in his prior match.

This was a winners side match, race to 13, winner breaks.

Billy Incardona and special guest Johnny Archer provide the commentary.

I like the playing style of the old players, they play without much thought, it's really crazy, full of art

[larrywhitesell]

Great match, great shooting, excellent commentary, great camera work. Thanks for the video!

[chriscripplercruz]

58:12 the inside English shot. He completely killed that cue ball with that stroke wowsers

[Charlesbjtown]

I've done what CJ did @ 4:04 before. It's one of the most irritating and embarrassing things you can do while playing.

[matthewmcclain]

4:03 "I wouldn't play it like that" cracks me up. I know he didn't mean it that way, but dang does that get me!

[JAYG]

The sulking at the end by CJ was uncalled for. It's really not too difficult to be a gracious loser and to have the common decency to shake a referees hand that's been totally fair

[Jeff]

An excellent match, a real nail biter at times! Thanks, Accu-Stats!

Man.... 1994 & 1995 Efren Reyes was simply FUN to watch. Considering his "Prime self" was in the early 80's before they started video taping these great matches, we'll take these. 👍👍 His table IQ was always a Huge advantage in close matches, all the others he usually won by a landslide. 🐐

[Salesman]

Holy crap! The mullet on this man is AMAZING!

[AJMangino]

CJ really firing em in here. Amazing shot making ability, buckets or not

[physicsguybrian]

Eften had to beat CJ because that mullet just had to go!!! Seriously though, CJ plays fast and loose so unforced mistakes are inevitable. Efren is the G.O.A.T period!

[fondofpeace]

Archer and Incardona actually make a great pair for commentary. Billy takes Johnny’s chiding in stride and both are so knowledgeable about the game.

[pbbelk]

CJ was elite if he took his time, that dude can shoot

[soulmusic]

Why does every loser shake the others hand so meaninglessly. Time and time again. This era to the next. Be a man. Learn and accept lost admirably.

[BrendaStrickland-zmlb]

Loved this, the speed of play is out standing.

[caridadlontayao]

Champ Reyes is too good in this event❤

[darylkanofski]

As the commentator's said Wiley was unhappy before the match even started because of the changed start time then he had to complain about Efren swapping cues, maybe he should have concentrated more on the game

[rodolfobalachawi]

...humblness is a key to victory...good health idol efren & pray for long life...Godbless you!

[jdmikeg]

Efren is the greatest of all time but honestly, a lot of his opponents lose because of their own mistakes and errors.

[lskshmariemostolesdhksks]

Efren Reyes will always be a Philippines pride. 😊😊😊❤
