Desert Island Comp - podcast cover

Desert Island Comp

Sam DiMascio
Wrestling was a simpler time when fans on message boards in corners of the internet would send VHS's in the mail for an envelope of unmarked bills. Some of the finest tapes you could get where compilations of wrestling from around the world that was curated by some person or even a group of folks. A treat from one fan to another, good wrestling. Desert Island Comp asks our guests (and future survivalists) one simple question, if you could take one disk of 8 matches (and a sprinkle of angles) with you to a desert island, what would you put on it? Would it be matches you love to no end? Matches that challenge you? Matches that remind you of how you watched wrestling with a loved one? Listen in and ask yourself, what would you put on your desert island compilation?

Jamesie

Desert Island Comp series is BACK! This time with everyone's favorite Irish wrestling fan (sorry Barry) Jamesie. He has a comp that is at the same time personal as it is filled with matches that simply whip. A great episode that you'll want to listen to*. *Except for my audio specifically being a bit poor. Something was going on with my mic. Pod itself was too good to not release just because of that though.

Chris from IVP Videos

Realizing as I'm typing this that I need to put the first four episodes of this series in the feed, Chris from IVP Videos joins me to talk about the matches he wishes to include on his Desert Island Comp. He is someone that if you have been a fan of wrestling for a certain period of time probably have bought DVDs from to watch some Japanese wrestling. So obviously his list is filled with Japanese wrestling? Listen to this week's episode and find out.
