The Early Days
Phillip Schneider was born Phillip James Schneider on a hot summer night on June seventh nineteen eighty three to parents Judith and Francis Schneider. From an early age, Phillip was enthralled with the real life superheroes and super-villains of professional wrestling.
Caleb “Scott” Bringhurst, childhood friend
Growing up with Phillip Schneider, I knew he was different than the other kids around. He always had these schemes and grand plans. We were always developing something or building something.. We always had a project of some sort on our hands and it almost always related to wrestling. I remember when we were really young, maybe eleven.. We were wrestling on a trampoline with some other kids. Everyone is mostly just jumping, maybe dropping elbows or leg drops. The natural heel Phillip doesn't give the kids watching what they wanted. He took it to the mat of the trampoline and locked on a figure four leg lock. He always had a desire to piss people off.
Jeff Stephens, childhood friend
I grew up a street over from Phillip Schneider until we were middle school age. I moved away then and then right afterward, he moved. Phil introduced me to pro wrestling with some VHS tapes and magazines he had. He always had new magazines and always knew the scoop of what was going on.
Phillip began training to become a pro wrestler in late 2001, making his pro debut with the WFWF under the name Devon Tatum in May 2004. After only one match, a Pay Per View battle royal, he realized he needed more than just a name. He needed a gimmick. What he found was Obo the Hobo, a schizophrenic hobo with a split personality disorder and a serious twitch.

Back then, he seemed okay. Like he was a normal guy who had fallen on some hard times. We talked a lot at shows and had a lot more then just wrestling in common, so we figured "maybe management will give us a shot as a team".
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
There was talent without question but it was a matter of figuring out what would be the best route for him. That’s all I can really say on that.
Obo the Hobo was not long for a singles career as best friend Percy Jackson soon joined the fray under the alias “Percy the Panhandler”. The two stole the WFWF Tag Team title belts from the locker room before Percy had even had a match, declaring themselves the new tag team champions. Percy's debut would be Schneider's official title reign, as the newly christened Los Hobos won a three team, tables, ladders, and chairs match inside of a cage to win the championships officially.
Percy Jackson, handler, WFWF Hall of Famer, former tag team partner
I'd like to think I helped. He really wasn't doing a lot as a singles then. The Los Hobos team made everyone aware of just who we were.
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
I think it helped in being a starting point for Obo. I liked the idea of another tag team competing and having a chance to go for the gold. I think it was during a time where WFWF needed some tag teams and Los Hobos was a good start. I believe that you have to start somewhere and that’s what happened.
Los Hobos: From Rags to Riches
Los Hobos were not long as “generic hobo tag team” and quickly found their niche as a comedy troupe, bringing established WFWF star Thunder into the mix, as well as valets Ashley and Sammi Hobo. The group became well known for their hijinks and escapades, comedy often spilling into the matches themselves with their ever present chicken bucket often making appearances in matches with teams such as ATM, The Holocaust, and more.
Percy Jackson, handler, WFWF Hall of Famer, former tag team partner
Los Hobos was a lot of fun. takes a drink from his water bottle Wouldn't trade it for anything. First ever two time tag champions. Other groups have held it twice, but we were the first. As far as our run goes, I think we proved comedy could work. You can go out there, have fun, have the people behind you and still be successful.
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
I liked Los Hobos and to me I would think it would be considered a good thing. I think building up the tag team division was the way to go. I look at it as a starting point and I think a positive one. It got his foot in the door and then eventually it would grow beyond that.
A Singles Shooting Star
Los Hobos reign came to a crashing violent end in the winter of two thousand five, as Los Hobos came to splits and Obo and Percy faced off. At the Fully Charged PPV event, Percy and Obo had at the time the most violent match in WFWF history, throwing each other off the stage, lighting each other on fire, and breaking glass.
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
The breakup makes me think of the Rockers. The match itself was really intriguing and was going to be a case of showcasing who could be the stand out talent. The breakup, while sad in terms of the tag team division, turned out to be beneficial to Obo as he started his evolution.
Percy Jackson, handler, WFWF Hall of Famer, former tag team partner
We didn't see eye to eye then. And it was causing a strain on us personally and professionally. If I had it all to do again, I don't know what decision I'd make. But at the time, I felt it was the right one.
As for the matches, they sucked. I couldn't move for days after. Management would tell me they wanted me to do a radio hype or a promotional signing and I'd tell them "you got to f**king kidding me! I can barely get out of bed, let alone sit in the studio on this uncomfortable chairs they have and talk about this like it was just another day at the office.
It wasn't long before Obo realized he had an incredible pain tolerance and could withstand and persevere in abusive situations that other wrestlers simply couldn't sustain. In the months that followed Fully Charged, Schneider found himself in a barbed wire cage match at Scars and Stripes (where he captured his first singles championship, the International title), a cage & chain three way dance, and a second match with Percy, a revisiting of a past WFWF specialty match of Ladders, Stun Guns, and Dumpsters.
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
I think when he went on a singles run; it was interesting to say the least. I think that the violent style was what made him stand out. I think his single run has been great for him and has shown his talent. You don’t get to the top by some accident.
Percy Jackson, handler, WFWF Hall of Famer, former tag team partner
Phil was never right mentally. It's like the pain in the ring was the only thing that made him feel normal. The thing was, it didn't matter if he was causing it or having it inflicted upon him. He just wanted suffering.
The World Title
Phillip Schneider's career reached it's first real peak and the violence of his career reached an apex on April twenty ninth two thousand seven, when in the first no rope barbed wire match in WFWF history, Schneider defeated Reverend Shadow to capture his first WFWF World Heavyweight championship at the Forever Unscarred event. Schneider would hold the championship until November twentieth of that year, defending the championship several times in great matches against Tha CBT and Wayne McGuirk among others.
Josh Dean, WFWF Superstar
A lot of people may not know this unless they study the record books religiously, but I have the distinction of being Phil's first ever World Title defense on a Felo-De-Se taping in early May two thousand seven. I was the hot new commodity after winning the New Breed Tournament a couple weeks beforehand and I think going against him at that point was good and bad for my career.
It was good for my career because it's the World Title is an opportunity that everyone works for, but few get. When you get that opportunity, you put it all on the line and bring your best. And I believe at that time he really made me do that. I was ready for a step up in competition after the tournament and the new champ is about as big of a step up as you can get. But I'd like to think that match did as much for Phillip as it did me, even if the timing wasn't the greatest.
We both were in a position where it was either step up or get embarrassed, but obviously Phil had more to lose than I did and I think he knew it. Sure I had a winning streak going, but it's a different ballgame going from the guys that fizzled out to a fixture of the company. We both wanted to win, even if our reasons were different because we were still trying to write our legacies. But it's the mentality you need for a match like that because the World Title is prime real estate. Were either of us ready for a match of that magnitude? Probably not, but who really is? You just prepare yourself the best you can and live with the result. He had a little more experience than me and had the slow build toward the title where as I got shot out of rocket. And that night, whether he'll ever admit it, I think he dug deeper than before because he represented the guys that were still fighting to protect their spots against the kid on a meteoric rise. No competitor wants to be shown up by the new kid and I think there was more pressure on him than just what he put on himself. The results could've bern catastrophic for his career had I won. It was already bad for my career because even though I lost I still drew a lot of negative heat, kind of like the Dex situation last year, which is never good for a young guy. But I try to look at it now as the match that signalled my arrival. As for Phil, I think it showed that he was more than just a gimmick and a spot junkie. It showed me that he could come through in a tough spot.
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF star
When Obo...Christ, haven't called him THAT in a while...won the WFWF Championship for the first time, I was a rookie here in the WFWF. I followed him on the tele prior to my contract being inked, and all I could think was "Why on earth would they let this man even have a title match?" The guy was legit a threat to lives. But when he took down the Reverend, I was sold on his earning of the shot, but I did not epect him to hang onto the title very long; eventually his sense of violence would be turned against him when he met someone more f*cked up than him in the ring. And yet I look at the people he took down as champion. He won it off of a Hall of Famer. Defeated fellow Hall of Famer CBT, and the patriarch of the McGurk family dynasty, Wayne. Instead of his weakness, his crutch for violence, being used against him he managed to learn how to use the weaknesses of others against them and he became one of the most psychological wrestlers this place has ever seen. He came into his own and it was interesting to watch.
The End is the Beginning is the End
Following his loss of the WFWF Heavyweight Championship, Schneider found himself in a bit of a booking limbo. He was now outside of the Heavyweight championship picture without a clear route back. His solution was a refocusing, pairing with dominant newcomer Pierce Deville for super-team F*ck You. The two captured the World Tag Team Championships in February two thousand eight, Schneider's third reign with those championships. A clash between partners seemed imminent, with the match set for The Deville, Schneider, EBR, and Thunder placed as the main event of the June two thousand eight Pay Per View event. Unfortunately, The Deville proved to be as much or more of a character outside of the ring than inside and when his exploits in illegal dog fighting were discovered through his involvement in the murder of Tha CBT, he was fired and blacklisted from the federation. In the process, the World Tag Team title belts were stripped from Schneider. This was the icing on a frustration cake for Schneider, the final blow in an on going struggle with management and with little notice before the Pay Per View event, Schneider went home.
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF Superstar
I'll be honest. When he left in 2008, I wasn't sure where the WFWF was going to go from there. Gone was an era that had just started not too long ago. We had some big names still around, namely EBR. However, Schneider was still a relatively young buck compared to the rest of the roster. While a massive thorn in the side of anyone with the misfortune of having to wrestle him, he had that youth that the WFWF fans were craving. We could not continue to live off of the old guard, so losing him was a blow. As for what it did to him, help or hinder, well, we all need a break from this business. If you don't take some rest from here, it can kill you. And after seeing him since his return, there was no rust...the break was good.
Josh Dean, WFWF Superstar
What I know about Phillip Schneider, which isn't much, is that he doesn't play well with others in the ring or behind the curtain. I guess what I find funny is that even though he's a guy that used to be a hobo, he's kind of high strung. So it didn't surprise me that he went home, even though I had left the company a few months prior and heard about it through the grapevine. Actually come to think of it, the writing was on the wall that he might do something like that at any given moment.
During that title reign, the World Title became his identity and losing it just set him down a bad road where he started surrounding himself with the wrong people and doing increasingly stupid things. He needed a championship of some sort to validate his claim that he was a major player, and I think he saw Pierce as his way back via the path of least resistance. I only saw the infancy of their partnership but those two were like oil and water, and it astounds me they didn't come to blows before both of them left. Talk about a horror flick. The only useful thing that Pierce brought to the table in my opinion was enabling Phil's addiction for violence. I think he lost his way during that time, and I believe he would've made much better decisions had he been thinking straight. We should never confuse Phillip Schneider for the most rational thinker, but he has a lot better grip on his mind than most.
What really shocked me the most about his 2008 departure was that he had started developing a reputation as this proud protector of WFWF, albeit on a much smaller scale than his reputation now and a complete one eighty from his persona on screen. You always got the feeling that Phil was a WFWF lifer and when he left, I think it turned a lot of people off to the product for a long time because on screen he was something different than your run of the mill character and off screen there wasn't that locker room leadership needed. And why should they believe in the company when one of it's cornerstones took his ball and went home without so much as a goodbye? Did the owners try their best to salvage the voids he left behind? Sure, but without a veteran or group of veterans keeping the locker room accountable for their performances, everything suffers greatly.
Percy Jackson, handler, WFWF Hall of Famer, former tag team partner
Obo leaving meant bad things for the WFWF. Because if he came back, and it was far from a certainty then, he was just going to be more and more pissed off.
Living in Exile
For the next two years, Schneider, now wrestling under his real name, toured several overseas promotions. He found himself calling the DVDVRWF his new home despite a very strange fit for him as a wrestler and personality. The German based promotion had an old school philosophy when it came to wrestling, which meant Schneider's brash, take no prisoners, do on to others attitude, violent and aggressive matches, and salty vocabulary were ostracized. While in Germany, Schneider met a young woman and sired a second daughter, Hailey Eileen Haselbock-Schneider.
Phillip Schneider
Germany was a weird time for me. I didn't speak a lot of German and I was wrestling a completely different style than I was used to. I was making a lot less money with DVDVRWF than I was with the WFWF and I felt like I was simply spinning tires. Then I ended up with a baby over there too. When I left the DVDVRWF I started taking indy bookings around Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands to make ends meet. Not just pro wrestling, but a few shoot fights too. Kickboxing, shoot boxing, and a couple of mixed martial arts fights. I'm not a martial artist, but I'll fight any one. I knew it wasn't the right spot for me though and that I was wasting my natural gifts and talents in a land that didn't care about me. I knew I needed to come home and finish my wrestling career on my terms.
Return; Loose Ends
Phillip Schneider returned to the WFWF on December 15th 2010, interrupting the feed for the Haters Gonna Hate live broadcast. Schneider made his intentions for returning crystal clear, immediately setting sights on Trace Demon. Schneider's in ring return was three weeks later at James Brown's Funky Christmas, defeating Lightening.
Shawn Malakai, WFWF Superstar
Came as a complete shock. I was sitting in the back, preparing for my match at Haters against Reverend, how convenient, and Munroe; keeping an eye on the TV in the locker room when sh*t went to static. I remember thinking either we lost feeds or something big was about to happen. I'm pretty sure most of Schneider's later victims wish it would have just been a temporary feed loss. And when he finally returned to the ring; well as I said, no rust. Not that Lightning was much competition for, well, anyone but hey: Schneider looked ready to take on the world again. Kind of a surreal moment. I didn't think he'd come back.
Dave Demento, WFWF Superstar
In wrestling, you have to always stay relevant in the eyes of the fans. You have to reinvent yourself time and time again to stay up to date with the times. When Schneider returned, he wasn't the same guy who traveled from town to town in the Win a Bagel. He was different and he wanted to shy away from his past. He didn't want to be held down by being generalized as the comedy or deathmatch wrestler. He came back with a shoot style to become a jack of all trades. His technical game was stepped up, but he still had that violent side to him. He had developed as a wrestler and he wanted to be the best. Nobody was going to stop him.
Schneider was a vastly different character upon returning. Gone were the King of Gore, the propensity for violence, and long gone were hobo garb. Now going by his real name for the first time in his career, Phillip Schneider wrestled a primarily shoot style. It wasn't until a clash with Johnny Knight at the Attack of the Little Green Men 2 card in June twenty eleven that he dipped his toes in the violent waters once again, ending Knight's career with a brutal beating punctuated by a fall off of a shark cage into a razor blade table that had been set on fire.
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF Superstar
There's the masochistic bastard we've been missing. I personally appreciated him beating the hell out of Johnny Knight, something I had the pleasure of doing at SuperBrawl but hey, more lashings for the deserving. When Schneider left the first time, I took it upon myself to take up his violent cause. I'm only other guy to win a Barbed Wire Ropes match after all. Yeah, I went against my better judgement and picked up the torch. So I was glad to have him back. The elevation of his violence was something that sort of came with Schneider being Schneider though. Everyone knew what he was like: see how close to murder he could get without actually killing them...even if he meant to. Not exactly TV-PG but it made for fun watching from a kindred spirit and a nice betting game as to who wasn't going to walk away next. Man won me a lot of money.
Dave Demento, WFWF Superstar
Violence and Phillip Schneider go hand in hand. If there is violence, chances are Phillip Schneider is around. At one point, Randel Benjamin squared off against Schneider where deer antlers were used as a weapon. Mind you, I am extremely familiar with the whole deathmatch and ultraviolent scene, I spent the early days of my career doing it in Japan, but Schneider always amped it up to another level. I've seen him damn near cripple men, some of whom have never stepped inside the ring ever again. If it can be used as a weapon, Phillip Schneider will use it. He's a dangerous man.
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
It’s insane to see what has happened. Honestly, it goes beyond anything I would expect.
The Streak
Violent matches weren't the only thing defining Phillip Schneider now however, nor the only thing for wrestlers to fear. From the point of his return, Schneider took pride in maiming young opponents and ending their careers. Within one calendar year, Schneider was the final opponent for Lightening, Luke Collins, Johnny Albright, Lionhart, WFWF Hall of Famer Calvin Lee, the aforementioned Johnny Knight, Lincoln Dina, and Eric Adams. The cemetery of collected careers wasn't a coincidence, it was something Schneider took great pride in and in sixteen matches, he was not defeated. His first defeat in a full calendar year came at the hands of Hutton Brown in a ladder match at Superbrawl VII, 11/11/11.
Dave Demento, WFWF Superstar
The undefeated streak is something every wrestlers aspires to have one day. It was a win after a win after a win. Nobody could touch him. The undefeated streak ranges from guys like Trace Demon to the Benja Harts and Eric Adams of the WFWF. I wonder what happened to Eric Adams?
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF Superstar
I remember Lee, and may Knight burn in hell. But long story short: The career ending schtick was nice for him I suppose because he got another notch in his proverbial bedpost. The undefeated streak was something to behold though. It's rare that most anyone can get themselves a solid streak going; and just when they do, they slip up and have to start again. It didn't happen with Schneider. He didn't slip up. The guy's a psycho, but he's tougher than the nails he puts into people mentally. Hutton Brown's defeat of him at SuperBrawl, if anything, wound up being a blessing in disguise for him if he believes in that kind of sh*t. He didn't take a step back, it pissed him off more and went on to bigger things. I would venture to say that the loss did more for him in the long run than the undefeated streak; but it was impressive.
The Title
The ladder match was Schneider's first opportunity at the WFWF National Championship, the only championship he had not held in the federation. But Schneider soon found himself with gold anyways. In March of two thousand twelve, Schneider joined elite company as a two time WFWF World Heavyweight champion, besting Michael Kyzer in a No Rope Barbed Wire match at the It's Super Effective event in Japan, making him the first to pin Kyzer in a WFWF ring. Schneider would hold the championship for a full year, three hundred and sixty seven days, to date the longest reign of any WFWF Heavyweight champion.
Dave Demento, WFWF Superstar
Phillip Schneider's reign with the World championship is legendary. Three hundred and sixty seven days. That's how long he held the championship. He's the only person to hold that championship for over a year. It's a measuring stick for the newer guys, if we win the world title, we will all fight and claw our way to beat his reign. It is legendary, but one day i hope to break it.
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF Superstar
Michael Kyzer and Phillip Schneider. That's almost like which cancer would you prefer having stage four of. Irony. I was sort of hoping they'd both die so I'd get a shot, to be honest. But seeing Kyzer lose...remember how I said that loss to Hutton did more for Schneider than the entire streak? Christ. If Michael Kyzer couldn't stop him, nothing was going to. And until he got put into a champion's disadvantage type match, nothing did stop him. I still think he would have been champion until SuperBrawl, where I would have rightfully beaten him...hey; we've gotta be honest here, right? But yeah, had he not been in that specific match at Psycho Circus, heaven or hell knows what would have been able to stop him. That's how amazing his reign was.
Burning the Candle at Both Ends
Shortly before picking up the Heavyweight championship, a familiar face found her way back into the WFWF and into Schneider's life. WFWF Hall of Famer Meg returned to the company at Schneider's side, now leading her new student, Alexis Chavente. Meg had previously retired from wrestling due to back injuries and was happy in a life away from the business. But when Alexis approached Meg about training, Meg found her way to Schneider for assistance. Schneider had previously trained a rookie by the name of Kylie Olson, who unfortunately committed suicide in the lead up to the Kyzer/Schneider match, after turning her back on Schneider to join Kyzer. The now romantically linked Schneider/Meg duo trained Alexis and led her to the runner up position for Survival of the Fittest, ultimately won by David Brennan. But this was at the start of a descent into madness for Phillip Schneider.
Dave Demento, WFWF Superstar
I was there on that night in Vancouver. I wasn't in the fed at the time, but I was doing an independent show in Vancouver and bought myself a ticket. That was a gruesome match, if you want to call it a match. Phil showed no remorse over that poor young girl and went out there to satisfy his own demented needs. Was it the right thing to do? Not necessarily, but it was good entertainment. If we were in Mexico, the referee would have called for "Castigo Excessivo", which is a disqualification for heading into the match with the sole intent on injuring your opponent. It was an interesting night, for sure. I have never seen a match with so much malice, let alone a one-sided match that pretty much killed the career of a young woman.
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF Superstar
I'm barely still kicking and I'm being asked about this? Look. I admire Schneider's...methods. But I'm not one for a man to fight a woman; I don't are about how gender correct this place is. And it's Schneider. What he did to Chavente was uncalled for. Granted, her and Meg brought it on themselves, but there comes a point where mercy should be implemented. The fact that her savior was David Brennan, who did not even really intervene is kind of sad.
After eliminating Meg and Alexis in violent and disturbing fashion, Schneider continued his path of destruction with an all new band of misfits, a group he called The Decaying Society. Led by Schneider himself, the group included rookie wrestler Tommy Staxx, the newly pardoned Pierce Deville, a rather large man with Asperger syndrome who seemed to be the butt of Schneider's jokes, a one armed drifter who Schneider renamed Hutton Brown as a jab towards his former nemesis, and New Kylie, a young woman with a remarkable likeness to the original Kylie Olsen. In many instances, The Decaying Society did Schneider's bidding for him when he himself wouldn't dirty his hands. At the side of the Decaying Society, Schneider accumulated his record setting three hundred and sixty seven day title reign. But it all came crashing down at The Psycho Circus. Inside of a steel cage with a roof, Schneider lost the championship to Scarlett Quinn. Schneider wasn't involved in the deciding fall but immediately following Psycho Circus, Schneider completely disappeared from the WFWF.
Retirement?
For over a year, there was complete radio silence in regards to Phillip Schneider. After reigning on top of the WFWF for the previous year, the thirteen month period of March 2013 to April 2014 were completely void of Schneider. Several attempts were made to bring Schneider back to the ring but it seemed as though Psycho Circus would be Schneider's final performance.
In the lead up to Scars and Stripes 2013, it seemed like Schneider had been convinced to return by another returning grappler. Fellow Hall of Famer Drakz returned after a year long absence due to a back injury and made it his first priority to call out Schneider for a match at Scars and Stripes. However, Scars and Stripes came and went and no appearance of Schneider. It seemed the Prophet of Ash remained content in his retirement.
Once in a Lifetime
However, leading into Superbrawl, Drakz found a new foe, a masked character he himself portrayed several years prior named Chaemo. Chaemo made several appearances attacking Drakz and it seemed a Chaemo/Drakz encounter was inevitable.. except it wasn't Chaemo. Phillip Schneider returned to the WFWF for the first time in over a year at Superbrawl VIII, April twenty fifth two thousand fourteen.
It wasn't just Schneider's return to the ring. Drakz had also been absent for over a year with a broken back. The match almost came together at the previous Pay Per View, Scars and Stripes, but Schneider wasn't willing to show on a week's notice.
Dave Demento, WFWF Superstar
The greatest match in the history of our sport. Drakz and Schneider are both icons in this sport and yet they never met in the middle of the squared circle in a match. Drakz had been coming off a major back injury and Schneider had taken time off too. Nobody knew what condition these men would be in walking into the match, but expectations were certainly met at the end of the night. Schneider and Drakz went over sixty minutes, going back and forth, being north of thirty. It was the ultimate showdown and should be remembered as being the best of all time. When End Game comes around, I expect another classic between these two.
Shawn Malakai, former WFWF Superstar
One of the greatest matches I've ever witnessed, easily. What's more is I didn't know Schneider could catch with Drakz. It was an even match on paper if you look at history, but I had little faith in Schneider being able to outwrestle Drakz. Turns out I was right. But remember how I said a loss for Schneider only makes him more dangerous? Drakz needs to watch his back moving forward.
The End? Legacy
As we march forwards to The End Game, a very real possibility lingers in the air that this could be the final fight in the storied career of Phillip Schneider. Schneider is staring down his biggest threat to date, the man who brought him out of his self emposed exile for Superbrawl, Issac “Drakz” Cray. This is the ultimate in do or die matches with high stakes. At the end of the night, Phillip Schneider will either be crowned the WFWF World Heavyweight Champion for the third time or just short of twelve years, his career will come to an end. Is this the final story of Phillip Schneider, the last pages of a grand story or simply another chapter in the growing mythology of one of the greatest there's ever been. Only time will tell.
ZMaster, WFWF Hall of Famer
Both Drakz and Schneider have one thing in common. I’ve seen both of them beforehand. Drakz is someone I had competed with and knew he wouldn’t quit. I was a WFWF Champion and I had competed with Drakz at Super Brawl and he showed he could rise to the top. Schneider I never knew what he was capable of. I remembered his start with Los Hobos. Little did I know he had more skill in him at that time because keep in mind he was just getting started. His rise showed either he held back or he evolved as a talent. I tend to think the latter as nobody becomes a star overnight. This second match is going to be one to remember.
I dont know good luck
