My first Japanese wrestling tape came in the mail wrapped in the remnants of a brown paper bag, its contents, perhaps, seen as too shameful to be viewed by the outside world.
Thanks for writing this. I’ve been a come and go visitor in the IWC since the late nineties, so your article brings back many memories. I was a college kid not too far up the road in Clemson, South Carolina that spent many an hour perusing wrestling websites while trying not to download a virus on my roommate’s Compaq computer. Somehow I missed out on the DVDVR board, but I do remember references of it. While I didn’t follow Dean’s work or even know his name, I certainly appreciate what he’s done.
How about that! Another reason to appreciate your perspective as a fellow homegrown southern wrestling fan. Who knows, we might have crossed paths on I-85 at some point.

Thanks for sharing.
My mom was a professor at USC and I went to Winthrop, so we are tied together by geography!
