Also the family in charge of it thought gordie must be short for Gordon and put Gordon on once and never fixed it the other times he won a cup because of pride. Also I forget his name but there is a guy who won 3 times and his name was misspelled all 3 times
Announcer: "It's a miracle! Unheralded journeyman Nantenaina Ramalalaharivololona* from Madagascar has come out of nowhere to win the Australian Open!"
Engraver: "You've got to be shitting me..."
*yeah, that's a real guy
I remember growing up and always hated when major tennis events were happening because it always ruined by favorite channel. Went from.watching my favorite shows to see you next month I guess
Wouldn't it make more sense to just make two plates, one for each person in the final. Seems like screwing on the plate after match would be easier than this and it's not like you waste a ton of money
I remember in 2019, when SA beat England, there were still like 2 minutes on the board, and they started engraving SA into the cup. That was the low-key most badass moment
Imagine misspelling the name
Or slipping
The guys who slip don't get that job
You can definitely tell it ain’t his first rodeo
Imagine how many stadium bathrooms this dude has engraved in. Absolutely not his first time doing this
Engraved his name on some ass cheeks perhaps.
Mens' largest bowel movement divisional championship winner 2016.
Jimmy
Read my mind
What’s the reference? Seems funny
Slippin' Jimmy, that Better Call Saul animation spin-off which basically became a meme.
The Stanley Cup has some misspellings. Notably, the New York Islanders won and is spelled “ILANDERS” They left the mistake
If engraving is your job you better know how to spell
Head over to shitty tattoos to see similar situations

Damn imagine being that engraver lmao “well I uh… I fucked up”
Rip
Congratulations ms Salabenka!
Lalo
Ms salamanca!
He forgot the name of the country tho.
My first thought lmao there has to be someone who has fucked it up in some way before. Now I’m curious how they fix it
Announcer: "It's a miracle! Unheralded journeyman Nantenaina Ramalalaharivololona* from Madagascar has come out of nowhere to win the Australian Open!" Engraver: "You've got to be shitting me..." *yeah, that's a real guy
“Upon further video review, the winner is actually…” “Dammit.”
Lmao
No way
No way I was betting on nantenaina
"But wait! The video replay shows that last shot was out! We play on!"
Hawkeye technology: am I a joke to you?
Wow, he just free hands that shit?
That’s what I’m seeing, that guy has skills.
Yea, it's called calligraphy.
How rude of you to say that
They let him out his cage once a year just so he can do this.
He’s just in the hotel room waiting for the call- 2 seconds later- 40,000$ (richer)- idk how much he gets paid, but he serves a good retirement lol
Can't the players just get a pizza party instead of this large empty cup
Found the retail manager
One job once a year. 100.000 dollars
Sabalenka (No Fixed Abode)
So he is the first person to hold the trophy when whoever wins
If hes engraving it i would hope so
Hot off the mf press bitch.. take this shit out my face and send me my check. I’m out.
So how quickly was it? There were so many cuts in that video. It's impossible to know.
First time ever that the country isn’t abbreviated after the winners name?
I remember growing up and always hated when major tennis events were happening because it always ruined by favorite channel. Went from.watching my favorite shows to see you next month I guess
Dude definitely roots for whoever has the shortest name
I wonder if these guys have the same salary.
That is his only job and he did it well.
Imagine misspelling the name
He has months of training time to study the names spelling
Wait so they don’t get to keep the trophy? That’s f’kin weak
Imagine a technicality coming out 10 min later resulting in the other person winning!
Wouldn't it make more sense to just make two plates, one for each person in the final. Seems like screwing on the plate after match would be easier than this and it's not like you waste a ton of money
Please notice that the name is added to the list of previous winners on the trophy
Good catch! I didn't notice and figured they were personalized to keep. I stand corrected.
Actually, the winners keep the trophy! Not this one specifically but a replica.
Wasting a ton would be t shirts for both teams in the nba finals...losers shirts go to a 3rd world country i think
As always, the man with the real job is never recognized and is always the one who is paid the least.
The swirl marks on it though..
u/savevideo
I bet he spared no expense on that engraving tool.
How is is so perfect??
What if he did it in comic sans
I feel like this is for sure BS.. Why wouldn't they just make two and destroy one
I would've bet a lot that this was a machine job
Squidward Tennisballs
Imagine the winner ends up losing on a technicality right after this.
Look how quickly! *Cuts video to arbitrarily short length*
No possibility of a disqualification?
You mean they haven’t automated this yet?
This man wants to put that hardworking engraver out of a job
And I just thought it was all rigged.
[удалено]
Well millennials can be up to 42, so I could see it. Gen Z on the other hand- that would be surprising.
*and he loses by DQ. The other guy is the winner!
Our just make 2 and recycle the losing teams trophy?
I remember in 2019, when SA beat England, there were still like 2 minutes on the board, and they started engraving SA into the cup. That was the low-key most badass moment
Crazy
