GUYS U NEEEED TO DO 1994-98 WCW PPV PLZZZZZZ
Nice
How to watch the original live version of a WWE or ECW PPV
I would really love a 'Rise of Stone Cold' arc. Going from King of the Ring 96 until WM14. It's a bit long, slightly under two years, but contains a lot of gold. The product changed dramatically in those two years and you also have Austin vs Hart Foundation, the Bret vs Shawn tension and the eventual Screwjob, the formation of DX, the gangware and the debut and/or development of The Rock, Mankind, HHH, Goldust, Pillman.
Ooo that'd be good.
That's actually a great idea
And plenty of Russo bollocks lolol
Only problem with that is I vaguely remember in the first Q&A, they said they didn't want to cover the Screwjob as there's nothing new to add.
Fuck thats good, I was thinking of asking if theyd ever cover HHH/HBK's feud. So Summerslam 2002, Survivor Series 2002, Armageddon 2002, Royal Rumble 2004, Wrestlemania XX and Bad Blood 2004. A perfect span of time to document the smackdown 6 era, Brocks rise to the main event, Rocks last full year in the company, first elimination chamber, Eddie's title run, Takers burial and deadman return, and of course the royal rumble win and main event that the company cant speak about. Then on the other side you have so much bollocks. Torrie Wilsons dad, MAIN EVENT BOB HOLLY, Brocks winding down and not giving a fuck, his goldberg match, documenting Benoits lackluster world champ feud with Kane and dicking around with Eugene, Eugene himself.
A quick note on Walter Payton. He’s considered one of the nicest and charitable people in NFL history hence them having the Walter Payton man of the year award which is given to the player who has done the most for their community. Sweetness unfortunately passed away in 99 but his legacy will live on forever.
Yeah, one of the greatest football players in Chicago and United States history
Yra he was the epitomy of class. You know it's true if it's coming from a lifelong lions Barry Sanders guy. Did you know that Barry respected him so much he said he didn't want to break his record and that played a small part of why he retired right before breaking his record. That's how beloved WP was. Rip great one!
Rip for one of the absolute greatest ever. Rip Sweetness ❤
Marking out so hard it's on TH-cam now!! Can of coke to everyone in the comments.
LET'S DO THIS SHIT! Take a boo Tommy, amazing ABQ! Thank u for being on the show 🎸
Killed it as always Tommy👍🏻
This episode hit me with its feet arms.
Your bit was really funny, dude
@@merces47letifer4 I don't even like ufc but this guy is too funny
Leslie Neilson looking out for his boy who is in financial trouble, gotta love and respect the guy.
1:29:09 Its really fuckin wholesome
Leslie knew how to take care of a boy. Not the way celebrities take care of boys nowadays, of course.
With 12:40 left they show Taker taking care of Faker in the magazine screen shot!!!! Wow
I like that Vince went ahead and just paid the guy instead of taking a portion of Leslie's money. Very respectable.
I think Kevin Nash calling the tag belts a pittance while kayfabe super upset is no where near as bad as Hogan shoot calling the WWF World Championship a toy at a press conference...
I don't mind, his character shouldn't give a crap about the tag belts compared to the ic
I'm not well-versed on my 80s-90s Hogan in Japan stuff as most, but isn't the assumption that no one was going to see that tape in the states, so do it to hype up the match between him and Muta?
@@maxbuffkin5625 In theory, yes, but even during the 90s, word travels.
And when your #1 star is bad-mouthing you overseas, that word travels fast and through smarky tape sharers.
@@PowerArmorV113 Well, that would also still be smarks who are too knowledgable about the business? WWE has always been more for a casual audience, especially during the Hogan/New Gen eras
@@maxbuffkin5625 Regardless, hearing your brand get besmirched overseas by one of your major stars would be a loss in confidence in them because they're saying they're too good for you.
It would be like OSW slagging off Galway.
in kayfabe I can totally see Bret being like "I'm tired of this, I don't want to hurt my brother anymore, let's end this quickly, he had his title shot I beat him, done." that's why he's trying to escape early.
Yea... for guys who really get into the story, I'm shocked they totally missed this.
Owen wants the title.
Bret just wants it to end.
It's not about the fight.
Agreed. Yeah there's a blood feud, but the WORLD title means more than that. It was still an athletic competition between them, just not really the violent kind. The winner still gets to say "we had a match, I beat you, I'm better than you, I'm the champion of the world".
There was a bizarre house match where the "Hart Foundation Explode" where brett faced off jim.
That's what I was thinking
Yeah bret still doesn't really want to fight Owen and also knows how Owen is. Owen wants to beat bret and escaping = win so why not just try every chance he has.
"Bret's rope" makes me so happy. Idk why
It should be legit named after Bret. They named the Gorilla Position after Gorilla Monsoon, so why not? It speaks to Bret's greatness by having a part of the ring named after him.
Yes you do.
Osw is a family. Definitely my favorite online community. It makes total sense to me that they are getting over.
Man, the animation just keeps getting better!
Can taker beat taker using only allusion magic. That’s the original ending it sounded like in the skit
Not only are the kanji for Bull Nakano the wrong way round, they're the characters for 'banzai' which Yoko used. So it's a hand-me-down graphic.
24:20 "The second biggest ladykiller in the World Wrestling Federation."
Indeed. Only Snuka had a higher count at the time, I believe.
Booooooooooooo.

MikeyXSuicide no, he’s just a magician. Making guys “disappear,” as he puts it.
@@Decetop That would also explain why he's smiling all the time. All magicians do it on stage.
Jesus christ
The opinions on the cage match only cements that Mr. OOC is always right.
Like OOC says: Prove him wrong
Never realized how much OOC looks like Chris Evans. That makes him Captain Ireland.
Jesus if I show him this tweet he'll probably print it out and keep it on his desk
@@OSW Do it!
@@OSW I wonder if he ever had this convo with anyone (specific?):
Culk: "Hi. Big fan."
Mr. OOC: "Why wouldn't you be?"
Followed by OOC leaving the scene and exploding into lots of tenners.
The lads clearly wish the Bret/Owen match was Hell in a Cell right?
Lmao.... Now I'm puncturing OOC dressed in irish flag colors holding a shamrock shield.. Using his super power of having a super moan.....
Bull Nakano should be in the WWE HoF.
Nah, let’s put the woman who WWF blacklisted for over two decades because she literally put their belt in the garbage live on the rival’s show
(Also that woman’s legacy is largely based the matches Bull Nakano put on with her)
@@paulk6399 Blaze is already in the HoF.
@@supersnappahead that's my point lol
Blaze is in there while Nakano isn't yet their history is tightly intertwined but Nakano is often forgotten
@@paulk6399 oh right haha.
You see only Japanese wrestlers who get caught with cocaine get fired, while Shawn Michaels snorted enough coke to kill a small elephant and really screw over Candido
When Shawn was having sex with Sunny
“Underfaker” Brian Lee buried himself for 3 years in one more way too ( as told by Jim Cornette ). Before this match he went out of his way to tell Vince that he could start for WWF “immediately” if needed. Vince asked him what about his remaining “Smoky Mountain” dates & LEE told Vince he didn’t care about those and would blow them off.
Vince told Lee “Great Pal!” , but then immediately Vince phoned Cornette & told him all about Lee’s unscrupulous offer.
This both soured Vince as to Lee’s loyalty & caused Cornette to fire him from Smoky Mountain as well.
Down the road away’s , LEE would use the real Undertakers shoot name to police, causing Mark Callous to have to appear in court to clear things up. This resulted in this friendship being ended as well.
I’m a tiny bit hazy , it was either false ID to the police or to a landlord/creditor in who to Bill for a large $ transaction. It also could very possibly be both as I have both of those floating around in my head from hearing the story (Cornette again).
Wow didn't know that but Lee definitely screwed up as Vince dose (somewhat) respect loyalty.
Excellent post - I only found out about the Lee dropping Taker's name to police after recording the ep, shame! But thank u for all the info! 🤘🙂
Wow. The idea to use the real name of someone as deep into kayfabe as Taker and possibly getting them into trouble sounds really scummy to me. It would be equally disgusting if he had identified himself as Taker.
Simon Wizado not only scummy but possibly career ending for taker. Imagine it went through that Lee was Mark Callaway, now taker is on his way to an event and they stop him for a bench warrant next thing you know he misses the event or PPV and now takers has to face the ramifications of either being pushed down the card or shelved. I’m being hyperbolic but point stands it’s so sinister to do such a thing like that instead of owning up to your mistake
What an arsehole!
Shawn Micheals was a fking Jojo's Bizarre Adventure character with the outfits he used to wear, jeeez.
Side note, damn I miss Bull Nakano. 😍
Shawn’s a Stone Ocean character for sure
Bruh seriously how did I never notice bull before this 🥵
JoJo- The Stand User could be anyone!
The Stand User-
you sir won a coconut.... you know what todo withit.
Stand User: Shawn Michaels
Stand Name: Heartbreak Hotel
Got fired from my job today but nothing some Irish lads can't fix
Sorry to hear that my dude. Hope a better one comes your way. I'm rooting for you! 🤘🙂
Job's are like assholes. Everyone has one &, they stink. You'll find another one. No big deal.
Get on unemployment
The bull nakano match splicey at 18:00 looked absolutely incredible! Just the crowd reaction alone was amazing to see they dont pop like that over there
You guys make it easier to endure this quanrantine. GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA!

When the Lex Express is over, who here would like to see OSW do a saga on the Invasion angle? They did the Wrestlemania X7 saga a while back, why not go all the way in 2001? 😂
An NWO or early Hogan in WCW would also be good arcs.
No
Best part of all, what looks like a WCW vs WWF dream come true turned into another McMahon family rivalry. I would love to hear V-1’s comments over the aftermath of Wrestlemania X7 😂🤣
Are they doing up until WrestleMania 11?
I'd at least continue until SummerSlam 1995. (Lex Lugars last WWF onscreen appearance)
@@relivingwrestlingreuploade4245 Last I heard, they said at least until 'Mania 11. I don't think they've confirmed if they're moving on after that or not.
Happy days are here again!

I find it ironic that OOC, the guy who is notorious for not caring about psychology, loved the cage match when the others didn't, considering that the match is booked 100% towards the logical psychology of how a cage match would realistically go.
I think they got caught in the build up and basically wanted Bret/Austin from WM13, but in a cage.
Which probably would have terrible since Owen isn't really a brawler, weapons would be tricky to implement, and New Gen means no blood.
Personally, I think the OSW crew missed the mark on this one. I never saw it as a blood feud as much as I did a Sibling Rivalry on steroids (figuratively).
The door escapes was more representing just how badly Owen wanted to beat his older brother. His obsession wasn’t hurting Bret, it was stepping out of Bret’s shadow and proving that he was the best in the family. Winning by any means necessary was the only thing that mattered and was the primary concern. Hurting Bret was secondary, which he had no problem doing so long that he won.
@@ryanmackin2387 yes. and Bret *still* didn't really want to hurt his brother.
The logic behind an “escape rule” is supposed to be that the face stomps a mudhole in a terrified heel, then just casually walks out after proving their point.
Watch Bruno/Hansen and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
@@bortgunn9079 In a general storytelling sense, yes, you're correct. But in the sense of "What would happen if this was a real contest and both guys wanted to win", having them both diving for the door to get out and win ASAP is the logical route there.
Not to mention that this is for the world title, it's not just a normal grudge match. The most important object in the world as far as these guys should be concerned is on the line for whoever wins, and they'd do anything to have it. Plus Bret, during this whole feud, wanted to avoid hurting Owen as long as possible, so he'd also want to get the win as quick and painlessly as he could, to avoid the increasing possibility of harming his brother.
"What bar is alundra blaze" she is... A piece of candy corn
Nakano has amazing speed and agility for someone her size.
Also she looks AMAZING today as well.
Fun fact about the Hart/Hart cage match: the extensive escape attempts were done instead of drawing blood. In Bret's book, he said they considered it but thought the sight of blood would traumatize Helen, which is understandable. Instead of blood, Bret and Owen chose to have multiple dramatic escape attempts to fire up the crowd. I agree that the match should have had more wrestling off the start rather than immediately trying to leave.
On top of that, I believe Vince had a "no blood" policy at the time anyway right?
I'd love to see a Rock and Mankind arc.

Hope you're safe and well!
@@Nediablo ahh yes thats right. Their website😕 haha nice one! Stay safe mate!
Love going through all these episodes again for the 4th time.
Oddly enough, Bret vs. Owen is the one match where the "escape the cage" thing worked because Bret didn't wanna hurt Owen so he just wanted to end it and Owen just wanted to win the match and the title ASAP
If it were real though, wouldn't these guys constantly try to escape the cage in a championship match?
The lack of Mo was made up big time with Bruce Hart. The MVP of the show.
Must admit, The Bulldog had a great head of hair in his day. Lol
20:27 You can see as DEESEL closes his eyes and smirks at Shawn's "happenin cats" line.
There's a match between Sherri Martell and Madusa from the mid 80s floating around on TH-cam, and Madusa looks like the physical embodiment of the 1980s. And I'm not gonna lie... I like it.
Its the labyrinth bowie look lol
@@That_Guy- lmao!
35:40 "Made in the USA Lex Luger vs also Made in the USA Tatanka".
Add Alundra Blayze and make it a triple threat match for the "Made in the USA" gimmick.
Ahem…where does Jim Duggan fit into all this
@@paulk6399 he’s the special ref
Everything Diesel touched turned to gold, apart from PPV buyrates.
And angles, and booking, and ratings, and promotions
What a pittance
The Tag Belt with Nash
He tossed it on the ground because he did not see himself as a tag team with Michaels anymore at that moment. He felt betrayed so that shared title with, in his eyes, a traitor meant nothing.
Not like Hogan who blatantly called the belt a trinket for no reason other than, "Other belt is better belt"
That makes sense. It doesn't make sense to even give them the titles though. :D
Thanks, Regal
No. He described it as a pittance. You can’t just disregard the actual words that came out of his mouth, and put your own interpretation on it. Well, you can, but you come across as a donkey
@@nickm8874 I thought he was saying "penance", as in "because I have this, I'm now stuck with you."
Not only that, he was in character doing that. Hogan was legit shooting in a Japanese press conference, shitting on WWF.
Happenin' Cats in Assless Chaps would be a great tag team name, especially with someone as terrible as Diesel.
Does the combination of guitar and violin make Nakamura's theme fiddle-diddle biddle music?

Obviously Lawler has had a lot of practise drawing, although usually in his gfs crayons whilst waiting for their nap time to be over.
Oh god
He's a guy, dude. Don't judge.
How edgy. He was a legend (in his own mind, at least).
Oh snap. Someone explain this joke in extreme detail to the young fans.
@@kidneystonermusic don't make em too young tho, Lawler will be lurking
I get what they're talking about with the escape rules of the cage match really conflicting with the tone of the Bret vs. Owen feud, and that's the real fundamental flaw with the concept that the WWF introduced.
If you watch any of the old NWA stuff, or even earlier WWF, the whole point of a cage match was originally, "Nobody gets in, nobody gets out, we're gonna settle this fair and square".
So changing the whole point of the cage match to be about getting out of the cage instead of being stuck in was always a pretty counterproductive idea.
That being said, given what it was, Bret & Owen still tore the house down, and if you're going to judge the match on its own merits, I think it's every bit a classic, 5-star encounter as their Mania match.
As OSW's video game reenactment showed, the reality of the situation is silly, but it can be sold if positioned right. I think the escape should be a door OR over the top. The theatrical way this is presented is for the face to make the climb, and the heel to take the easy way. Well that's silly and makes the face just look stupid. If there is only a door escape, each wrestler would start in a neutral corner. Even if each runs right for the door, it still compels contact. If up and over is the only method, a wrestler would not want to take a coin flip on being a faster climber, and would try to go incapacitate their opponent. Plus this arrangement yields unique spots, so you don't risk recycling spots.
Fun fact: the cage escape rule was created by Bruno Sammartino (I believe) when he was booked to lose to someone but didn't want to 'do the job'
So the opponent escaped the cage, Bruno lost, but never got pinned
Jay freaking out over "Jason likes little" always makes me laugh
Yo. That shit has me in tears everytime. Jay's reaction and instant relief is hilarious.
My thoughts on the cage match. Owen is a coward and wants to win as easily as possible. While Bret is still wanting to not hurt his brother while keeping his title
I wish modern day heels would study Owen more, who would always nut shot Brett to keep the crowd from cheering him..
I laughed pretty hard at V1's Irish accent coming through during his Luna Vachon impression. But at least that's one more impression he can do besides Art Donovan. 😄
Bull Nakano is hot! FTW!
Pro wrestler and Pro golfer. Be amazed if she was straight.
@@RossTheNinja Who caress?
Love you guys. Long time fan but only started posting recently. I know there are much bigger wrestling fans out there than me but I'm almost more fascinated by the stories backstage than the performances. You do this because you love it and you make us love it. You tell the stories inside and outside the ring, the build up and the after effects. The nostalgia from gaming, movies and music appeal to the heart stings and the intro's stoke the crowd for a rip roaring show. I know that's what you're aiming for but just making sure you know it's appreciated. The joy you get from laughing at each others jokes is warm and infectious. I discovered you while sitting at home feeling like cr@p after chemo. Your back catalogue, and a few other youtubers, helped keep me happy and positive. Thanks for keeping me company. Keep up the amazing work.
very kind of ya mate, it's a pleasure we can share our love of pro wrestling with ya! hope you're feeling better, keep kicking ass my dude 🤘 and remember, a winner is you!
Yes totally agree! Thank you guys so much.
I’ve discovered you guys through Movie Nights. WHAT BAR? is becoming my favorite segment of your podcasts.
Cheers brahbrah! A winner is you
Didn’t Paige do the PTO at one point as a nakano tribute

Jesus, that bump..
Jericho Cage Didn't Matt Hardy break his tailbone doing that to Edge? She must have ass and hips of steel.
27:24 was Razor Ramon doing super bowl shuffle in sweetness's House? It's at new Chicago United Center. BTW Go Pack Go!
Brett's rope is meta af. It's a safe semi spectacular move that works. Just like Brett.
21:11 He says "ain't gonna happen". Which is american for " it's not going to happen good sir".
So glad I found you guys some years back and SUPER HAPPY to see all this content on youtube! CHEERS LADS THANKS FOR THE GOOD TIMES.
This will be my 5th time watching this. 1st on TH-cam! You guys are hilarious. My wife gets annoyed when I quote you guys in normal convo. "Oh-me-meow" "ballocks" "the state of your hair, mate" "what bar is....." unbelievable" (vince voice). Keep up the GREAT work guys!

1:28:16 "His two children, ages eight and 11, watched the movie for 15 minutes before they realized it wasn't the wrestling show." Jesus, how do they not realize it in the first few *seconds* of watching?
17:57 ... WTF!?!! tokyo jam FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE!!! greatest women spot ever.
Nakano is a legend.
2 years and I have only just noticed the blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from RoboGarda Tarantoola at 1:24:06 scuttling across the floor. Incredible, give this guy all the golden noggers and cans of coke.
17:56 Nakano’s agility though O_o 🔥
It's awsome that this crew goes way back and with comedic angles! This channel is cool
That ad break segment was AMAZING, loved this episode probably my fav episode of the year so far.
I am glad you left in the sliding down the slide one. I remember when I was a little girl, watching this on dad's VHS tape, and that sliding down the slide made me laugh because picturing what that would look like. 😂🤣 Thank you, guys. Enjoyed this.
I know you probably won't read this comment as I'm 10 months too late, but I CANNOT BELIEVE that you guy missed the Bushwhackers making a previously smiling, happy child begin to cry with just 1 head lick at the 1:36:28 point of the video. The combination of your perceptive abilities along with your hatred for the Bushwhackers should have made this a slam dunk! Keep up the good work boys!
I was there as a kid this was such a fun ppv in a kids eyes
Jeff Jarrett - MMA Master.
I thought I was losing my mind for a bit as I was sure I had seen this already some time ago. Finally realized you put it up on Vimeo first and I saw it there!
WWE played that HBK splicy at a house show I went to and that got huge pops from the crowd.
Can we all appreciate that leg drop and bounce at 17:57
I keep thinking that Fink would say, "I was part of DX, that sure didn't suck..."
But...
Well, there are, amusingly enough, *two* problems with that.
Happy days are here again! Finally completely caught up on all the episodes. Now what to do? Watch them all again of course!
One of the problems for the cage match was the fact the WWF was trying to downplay violence at the time. Bret and Owen were ordered not to use the cage as a weapon and to not bleed, so they decided to add excitement with a ton of near-escapes. They still did way too many escape attempts, and it's still a terrible way to settle a title grudge, but there's at least a reason why it's the way it is.
At 11:04, are you sure that's IRS and not a young Robert De Niro? Looks like a dead ringer
To add to the list of Asian wrestlers who didn't have that theme: Taka Michinoku had a pretty rocking theme during the Attitude Era.
Used a koto in its opening parts, and throws in a shakuhachi later, but it wasn't that stereotypical Japanese riff, and it even had some pretty good guitar work when you get a bit further in!
Apparently he still uses variations of it in Japan to this day. Must've really loved it!
Art O’Donno was truly an arc in of itself
This was meant to be a brother vs brother, best of the best kind of stories. I enjoyed Bret and Owen cause we saw that. You dont want to kill your brother, you want to best him and thats what we saw, is them trying to one up each other and trying to escape. Least is how I saw it
1:36:27 that kid went from laughing to bawling in 1 second flat. The bushwhackers would never make it today.
Hey guys! I've watched a ton of your shows, and I can honestly say you're my favourite channel on TH-cam! You guys give me lots of laughs and just the best wrestling podcast around!
I honestly think a DX storyline arc would be pretty cool to do. Showcasing the early days of DX, starting at like Summerslam '97, and ending at Mania XIV (you could go past that but without Shawn it wasn't the same, I thought). I think that would be really fun, and it showcases some really great matches (Undertaker vs Bret, Taker vs Shawn, Shawn vs Austin).
38:45 Tatanka must have been desperate if he joined Dibiase for just 10 dollars.
I love your reviews. I've watched dozens and I'm rewatching my favorites. It's funny, my favorite period of WWF was 87-92 n 98-2002. The worst years were 94/95+ . . But my favorite OSW reviews are those years ... It's so fun haha. Moe and Mable, lex express, Doink (who was amazing when Matt Borne portrayed him but terrible after in these years), Double J, Bush Wackers, Undertaker w Paul Bearer etc. Omg. lol. I feel like a 10 year old all over again.
I enjoy all years of your reviews but the early stuff until the early 2000s is my favorite
Happily surprised! And thanks for the kind words mate
Already seen it on the OSW site, but can never get enough OSE Review!! Love you guys, endless lols.
Thank you OSW for giving me an appreciation of just how good Bull Nakano was.
Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz actually debuted as MVP. He only kept the name for a few weeks but that was long enough to be listed as such in the UK's 1994 WWF Merlin Sticker Album.
So, there were TWO wrestlers called 'MVP' in the WWF/E! I'm surprised at Vince for that but he does think that us wrestling fans have short memories.
Clearly, Montell Vontavius Porter is the better MVP of the two and solid "boy stable" material. And Vince has never respected the memory or intelligence of the fans, despite kayfabe being officially dead for 20+ years and fans being much harder to fool.
What do you guys think of “The Creation of the NWO”?
- Survivor Series 96
- In Your House (Diesel vs Hart in a cage), which was when Nash decided he was leaving.
- Wrestlemania 12
- In Your House: Good Friends Better Enemies (last wwf appearance for Hall and Nash).

The Bret Owen match is really simple ring phycology. Owen already beat Bret but it was a fluke, and he knew it so he got help, ie. King of the ring. He wanted to get the belt to prove he was the king of harts at any cost. Bret didn't want to hurt his brother.... How is the story of the match hard to grasp? They did a cage match so Bret didn't have to bury Owen.
This was the build on tv but I think the announcers didn't do the job selling the story, but this fued was during my peak wrestling watching so I rememwe that being laid out in the build
@@chadalpha7983 It was the first angle I was really invested in and you're right, they explain it through tv and the announcers didn't put it over quite as much as they could. It's just strange they borderline hated the match when it wasn't to hard to see what was being told. It's still one of my favorite cage match's.
You guys are amazing.i binged watched everything you guys had a few years ago, then everything got taken off TH-cam and you went over to Vimeo or something. I am now rediscovering you guys and I’m disappointed I haven’t been keeping up because it looking pretty sweet on this channel.
Thanks for the kind words my dude! 🤘🙂
Great video once again. This Summerslam is underrated I think. I enjoy the spectacle of Taker VS. Taker even if the match itself was a bit boring. The Nelson-Kennedy stuff is gold! Its also wroth mentioning the Jumping Bomb Angels when it comes to great women wrestling in WWF up to this point. Their Survivor Series 87 match has to be up there.
Low key impressed with Tommy Toe Hold's impersonations lol
39:06 that Tesco is right by my house 😄😵 another great episode lads, big love from Bristol
No need to put down Bruce Hart. In the truly technical sense, he's responsible for the Hollywood Blondes and subsequently Steve Austin's position in WCW, which of course, led him to WWF. Bruce may be more influential in that way than anyone really wants to believe but its true. Its kind of like pointing out that we wouldn't have the Rolling Stones if it wasn't for Brian Jones. Bruce Hart is an underrated asset to the business and that's the bottom line !
OOC once again proving why he's the best boi.
As for the cage match.
Owen said he can beat Bret again, but he clearly didn't care how he did it. He proved he could pin Bret at Mania, why would he need to do that again?
He wanted the belt, the one thing Bret had over him. The one thing that, in Owen's eyes, soured his win at Mania. Take that away from him then and only then, Owen will truly be the King of Hearts.
Bret, More angry then wanting to murder his brother over this, just wants to beat him fair and square.
I'm not usually a fan of Escape cage matches myself, But I can easily put Bret/Owen as one of my favorites.
Dead right from OOC about Alundra Blayze's German! V1 and Jay had sandbagged the shit out of it when she nailed Col. Parker with it during the WCW arc, but that one was amazing - Parker is a big 'ol boy!
Nonsense, i have nicole kidman and tom cruise looking at me with thier DEAD EYES!!!
Love reliving my childhood with you lads. Salute from the states!!
Yeah, I don't really follow modern wrestling too much these days, but I love getting nostalgic over these old WWF PPVs because I was a huge mark as a child. It's also fun to laugh at all the goofy stuff they did back then and hear about all the behind-the-scenes stuff that was going on that used to be protected by the old wall of kayfabe.
I can always rely on the OSW lads to pull me up from a shit time. You boys are the fookin best. “Take a boo son, take a boo.”
Love and appreciate all of the HARD work you lads do its (Vince McMahon Voice) 🤯UNBELIEVABLE 🤯
