About this listen

 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?© 2025 Sam DiMascio

    We have hit the typical average in a year of Desert Island Comp, bringing the host of the hit podcast, Late Night With the 2012 Royal Rumble. He has a brain altered by hopping in straight to the deep end of wrestling. The list a reflection of that. SPOILER: None of his matches have appeared on any other Desert Island Comp.

    Over a year in the making, we are back with Desert Island Comp. On this episode we have Violent People Radio co-host, pto. If you don't know him for the podcast, maybe you know him as the one GCW watcher, or maybe a message boarder. Somehow, if you don't know him, take a journey with us of matches that have managed to stick in pto's brain for over two decades.

    Incredibly short turnaround for the Desert Island Comp to come back, this time with one of the authors of Methlab BattlArts, JR Goldberg. One of my (Sam's) favorite people to talk wrestling with. Someone who is incredibly passionate about wrestling and is actually able to speak to that. Get buckled in to talk about one of the most diverse lists yet.
