Phil Schneider

Thanks! I have really been branching out to doing more interviews in the last couple of years especially for The Ringer and Yahoo and I am really happy with how the interviews for this book turned out.

https://www.theringer.com/2025/05/13/wwe/sabu-best-matches-ecw-fmw Wrote up some Sabu classics for The Ringer

I wrote this article for Yahoo Sports about his last match, really proud of this piece https://sports.yahoo.com/wrestling/article/sabu-was-sabu-until-the-very-end-ecw-wwe-joey-janela-155636332.html

Probably a bit early for him, but he is really coming out of the gate hard. He already has enough great matches on tape to give him a comparable record to a lot of guys on this list, and post DEAN he should be getting some bigger opportunities, including a spot in the Scenic City Invitational. Would also recommend his Terminal Combat match against Max the Impaler and dog collar match against Jordan Blade.

The Sabre Jr. match was excellent too, he is really hitting the final stretch of his career hard.

Dan is winding down his career, but doing it super strong, his fifth match with Thatcher at DEAN~! was arguably his strongest, and he has Sabre Jr. this weekend. One of the most thoughtful wrestlers around, always coming up with new interesting twists on his formula.

Demus is coming off of what some people are calling a MOTD contender at DEAN~! I think his mini's work is really good, but he excels as an unhinged brawler, may be the second best lucha brawler of the 21st century behind Black Terry.

I thought about Zeus, but he is sort of a grey area, I mean he worked Abdullah in Puerto Rico, almost more of a wrestler then an actor. I think I forgot Young Rock existed
