(by PHIL RIPPA) Since clearly my goal is make as much work as possible for myself on a project no one cares about – I picked matches that we were at live to where I (with a couple of exceptions) find a road report for. I then uploaded the road report to the website. So […]
NWA Wildside Hardcore Hell Road Report (03/27/04) PAS: Phil Schneider TKG: Tom Karro-Gassner PAS: We hit the airport and both get selected to go through extra security. That is what Tom gets for buying the tickets with his Hamas Master CardTKG: DAMN! And I get “randomly selected” on the way back too. In 93 I […]
(by RAVEN MACK) Ted Petty Invitational – November ’02 – IWA Mid South – Clarksville, Indiana “Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only real cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard…” – Dr. Hunter S. Thompson Life can […]
(by PHIL SCHNEIDER) So because I am certifiable, I grab a cheap plane ticket and fly down to my old stomping grounds in the San Francisco bay area, to see my parents and check out the King of the Indies. I will delete stories of going to the Oakland Zoo with my mom (SCREAMER MONKEYS~!) […]
(by PHIL RIPPA) Settle in for another round of crazy Rippa methodology. All the matches feature someone who was named Rookie of the Year by either the Wrestling Observer Newsletter or Pro Wrestling Illustrated. I used both just to provide some variety in the names. The WON provided more international names. PWI brought the wackadoo. […]

(by PHIL RIPPA) Building off the last theme – this time it is random folks who were #1 or #500 on the PWI 500. I tried to pick folks who weren’t picked in the DVD 500 section (though there is some overlap due to matches picked). What really irritates me is that the whole reason […]
(by PHIL RIPPA) This section features a match from every person who was #1 in a DVD 500 and everyone person who was #500… that presented an interesting challenge at times. 371) DON ARAKAWA vs. GORO TSURUMI – SWS (04/23/91) http://dai.ly/x2k1ivh Don Arakawa = #500 (V.7) Man – I remember Arakawa randomly showing up on […]
(by PHIL RIPPA) I have always promised that much like the original matches from DVDVR #100 not everything will be gems. What we have here are some of the more notable bad matches. Generally these all occur on big shows or are “known” for one reason or another. I mean if I was just picked […]
