New for this year, we also have separate award winners voted on by the Omakase patrons, so it was fun to compare and contrast the results between what the guests picked and the patrons picked (often similar, but not always!).

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?
