Phil Schneider Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 My first book is out on Amazon! I cover 100 of my favorite bloody matches. From Wrestlemania to a Junkyard in Mexico. The art is incredible, and I am really proud of the work that got put into it! https://www.amazon.com/dp/173494594X?&linkCode=shr&tag=hybridshoot-20&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_shr&creativeASIN=173494594X&camp=213733&creative=393177&linkId=1333786b5c004c6428b89748a01a79ae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 This looks amazing. One question: The art in the Kindle version is B&W. Is it also B&W for the paper version, or is it in color there? Just to be clear, I love B&W art - I'm just wondering if it's the same in both. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted May 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Black in White in both. Color printing especially in the amount we would need for all of the art was prohibitively expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who the hell Michel Chaisne or Adolf Kaiser are, but that chapter from the sample hooked me anyway. I really like your writing style, and the art is awesome. Looking ahead, I was surprised to see Lightning Kid vs. Jerry Lynn on the list. I didn't remember that having blood. Such a cool idea for a book. I hope you do very well with it.

Phil Schneider Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 The Lightning Kid vs Jerry Lynn match is from Minnesota Indies not Global. If anyone wants to guidance on how to find any of the matches in the book DM me on here and I can send links/files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Also one of the main goals in the book was to introduce people to cool shit they haven't heard of or seen. You may have never heard of Adolf Kaiser or Michael Chaisne, but hopefully now you know about them and maybe folks can discover new favorites. Here is that match BTW, it is incredible stuff.

NintendoLogic Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Very cool. I'll have to pick this up. You might have some trouble reaching the beach reading crowd with that cover, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB8 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 The background part to Murdoch/Kox is cool as fuck. I had never really read into their rivalry before but now I want to see every single bullrope, blindfold and Texas death match they ever had in the 70s. Maybe some day a couple will show up...

Al Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Just finished this. The illustrations are really top notch. And quite a few matches I'm interested in checking out for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted May 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Cool! What matches peaked your interest? I can send links or files for anything you want to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm going back through the book and making a list. The lucha stuff in particular has been a blind spot in my wrestling viewing, I think the only Lucha matches I had seen are Chicana/MS-1 and Atlantis/Villano. And current century indy stuff, though I'll admit when it comes to stabbing I nope the fuck right out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puropotsy Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 This book is a great read and page-turner for me. I love that it is in chronological order I assume using illustrations was partially to get around photo rights but it makes this a comic-like experience as well and that is one of my other great loves so wins all around I prefer the black and white, makes me feel like I'm reading From Hell rather than Spawn which is a good thing I am making a playlist of all the matches but have not been able to find one online for Fabulous Ones vs Moondogs 6/13/1983 other than a clip under two minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
