Popular Post Phil Schneider Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Posted February 7, 2022 I have a new weekly feature at The Ringer https://www.theringer.com/2022/2/7/22921511/cm-punk-mjf-rey-mysterio-aj-styles-psycho-clown-gringo-loco-best-matches Where I am going to be writing up the best matches from AEW, WWE and everywhere else. I figure this thread could be folks commenting and giving me suggestions! 27 1
Curt McGirt Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 You forgot to mention Rey's TV run in Lucha Underground If/when the Psycho/Loco match shows up on Youtube or Dailymotion, somebody post it. I'm not a high voter on either guy but it sounds good.
Craig H Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Tremendous write ups. Now I feel compelled to actually watch a WWE match. 2
Log Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Holy shit! I get on The Ringer this morning, and not only do I see a new wrestling column, it's got Phil Fucking Schneider in the byline. Congrats, Phil! I look forward to seeing more from you on there. Edited February 8, 2022 by Log 1
RIPPA Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 No big deal for Phil - just NOAH tweeting him directly 7 3 1
Rev Ray Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Takagi probably remembers favorable super uchu power reviews and is a fan 1
Gordi the BJW fan Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) I was hoping your listicle of great ROH matches might lead to a regular gig on The Ringer. Happy to see it has. Now: It might be a bit early to go completely off-piste with your match selections, and it likely won't be the best match that AEW puts out this week (an argument could be made that it was only, like, the third or fourth-best YouTube match this week)... BUT One of the things I really love about AEW is how they can get us to care about damned near every wrestler on their roster and it's likely that no match will ever better exemplify that than Fuego Del Sol vs Serpentico (with Dr. Luther) on Dark. Kind of like how there might have been better WWE TV matches the week Koko B Ware had that 3-minute match with Barry Horowitz on Challenge but that match still stands out in our minds (and was therefore the very first match posted in the squash matches thread). I mean, these are arguably the two lowest guys on the totem pole in AEW but I feel like I know what to expect from both of them, and I like - and look forward to - watching both of them, and there were call-backs and twists based on what we've learned about their characters and have seen in past matches. Nothing too obnoxious or obvious, just fun stuff like how it was easy to predict that Luther would eat two topés in a row, but still satisfying when it happened. I think a write-up of that match might be a really good opportunity to talk about some of what makes AEW unique and special and why some of us love that promotion so much.

John E. Dynamite Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Major cograts. Get paid, spread the love. Eagerly awaiting a website owned by a $30,000,000,000 media provider to start pimping Zona 23 matches. 1
elizium Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 Congrats, that's super cool. But hopefully this doesn't lead to DVDVR getting noticed by a VC, bought out, and forced to pivot to video. 2 1
Cobra Commander Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 "video's already in the name of the site, pivot to video" 1 2

Phil Schneider Posted March 9, 2022 Author Posted March 9, 2022 Loved Kingston vs. Jericho, but the Danielson match was on another level, the closest thing to Finlay vs. Regal as we have gotten in a while 4
DEAN Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 Schneider posted this week's top three. I wanna see that Vikingo/Flamita match. https://www.theringer.com/2022/3/14/22977515/randy-orton-riddle-seth-rollins-kevin-owens-and-alpha-academy-make-triple-threat-tag-team-magic 1
James F'n X Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I'm not a big Lucha guy, but Flamita was dope in this and when Vikingo sold the leg, it made some of the sloppiness of his spots (the slam from the inverted DDT position after the twisting plancha to the floor) look more story-based than his general chaos. Not sure why Flamita rushed to roll into the ring from the stage after Vikingo's 450 to the outside and the cross armbreaker segment was pretty bad, but very enjoyable overall. EDIT: Almost forgot Flamita's frog splash, which was really, really impactful. Choice stuff there. Edited March 15, 2022 by James F'n X
DEAN Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Schneider was too cool to post this this week so I have GIFTED it to you all. https://www.theringer.com/2022/3/21/22988823/darby-allin-butcher-roderick-strong-wolfgang-great-o-khan-zack-sabre-jr-best-matches 3
Log Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Was not expecting Great O-Kahn to ever pop up in Phil's column. Need to check that match out.
DEAN Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 The greatest description of the Butcher ever put to paper: David Crosby turned to powerlifting 2
