Jesus christ, what a sick promo from jake. All it takes is two minutes and a microphone and he'll convince you he is the devil incarnate. His demons gave him that ability, that twisted charisma. But they also took it away. a fascinating character.
This event was the second of two lower cost shorter ppvs ( the other being No Holds Barred the Movie and the Match) that WWF ran to test the waters a bit... It took 3.5 more years, but the idea was adapted into In Your House...
They should have had a stable: Million Dollar Man, IRS, & Repo Man. Have an angle where they have the tag belts but lose them, and Repo steals them back.
So here's what I think. So Million Dollar Man has the other two on his payroll. He has IRS audit, or at least investigate the assets of whoever he's feuding with and figure out what they have that would be of value to him but also might have some overdue payment or dispute. He then pays Repo to go and take said item for him.
I did repo work in the Washington DC metro area in the late 80's. First, we NEVER informed anyone we were repossessing their property. We operated mostly at late at night into the early hours of the morning. We had a flatbed tow truck, we would back up to the vehicle being repoed quickly attach the cables and drag it right up onto the bed. We would be in and out in less than 5 minutes. The quicker and quieter the better.
The part people miss about repo man is the small comments in his promos. Repo man would say in his promos “this woman is 3 days behind she’s a thief” typically in real life repo agents don’t get involved unless you’re multiple months behind in payments. The villainy was in the fact he wasn’t giving people time to catch up. It was subtle and easy to miss, but that’s thats the villainy of repo man
That's why he was so great with his promos. Everyone else was so loud, shouty, and often incoherent back then. But Jake brought it down low and was far more subdued. He didn't have to scream and be manic to be intimidating.
The audience today will never get anything close to the relationship between Jake and the microphone, even though the WWF in the late 80's/early 90's was geared towards children, they also didn't dumb down the product for the adults. It's why his promos are still amazing to this day.
@@giulio76ful You're like one of those shrimp dick tough guys who pays to go in a haunted house ride or horror movie and won't shut up about how not scared he is. Some people like to get engrossed in a promo or storyline, get over yourself
Thought i was the only one that thought that. I also believe good ol Double J is in the same category as Irwin. Just think about some of the shit Double J did. Genius I believe

Love that Jake quotes Pink Floyd twice in his promo: an amalgam of two lines from “One of My Turns” off The Wall, and “black holes in the sky” from “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” off Wish You Were Here.
snakes promos are so effortless. You know why because he put 100% of himself in the character. if you don't believee 100% in your gimmick it will never get over. If jakes promos woulda been say sid vicious like (lol) this character would have been alot less threatening in kayfabe terms
Taekwondo Time they were for a short bit until I think royal rumble 92. Taker turning face and stopping Jake from blasting Elizabeth with a chair is what led to their WrestleMania match
Sure it's already been answered about things re: Repo Man. The "sneaking around" thing is fairly common among repossession agents in the US. The general wisdom is that people don't like you taking their stuff, regardless of whether or not the repo man has the right to. If you do it without them knowing, then you avoid potential confrontations and possible physical altercations (and, in this country, possible gunfights). As for the outfit, I imagine it was just to make him more heelish, you know, fuel the notion that repo man == sanctioned thief that was always floating around. Then again, the image was somewhat justified, because it wasn't until sometime in the early 2000's that you saw repossession agencies start re-branding to a more friendly, for a lack of a better term, brand.
Ya Ive had some friends that did repos. Some of the companies are pretty shady. 2 of the guys they worked with got arrested for stealing a van that wasnt on their list of repos. People who dont pay their car notes seem to always have money to buy a gun...or 3.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! You have no idea how much this means to me. I was there at Tuesday in Texas. I was only 10 years old and this brought back so many memories. Seeing some of the greats for the first time(Savage,Roberts,Hogan). I miss Freeman Coliseum for wrestling events. It was so damn loud in there and anywhere you sat was a good seat. Once again...thank you.
Repo men don't need permission to take your leased items if you're delinquent on your payments. Technically, whatever you've leased doesn't really belong to you until you've fully paid off the lease. It still belongs to the dealer or company you've leased it from. Repo men are usually hired by the dealer/company to *repossess* or "recover" that leased property (I've heard that repo men prefer being called "recovery agents", probably to avoid the negative stigma of being called repo men). And it's not uncommon for them to repossess cars at night because they know where you'll be and where the car is. Everyone has to go home eventually for meals and sleep at night. It also helps to avoid possible violent interactions with the lessee since they'll likely be asleep.
This is both my favourite OSW episode, and contains the only TH-cam footage I can find of what is probably my favourite wrestling promo ever by Jake Roberts. The Snake is the best wrestling talker ever, in my humble opinion.
There was also some politicking to keep him down. He WAS supposed to do a feud with Hogan, they ran it a few times on House Shows like they do as a "test" and his POPS were bigger than Hogan. Hogan didn't want it to happen after that because he didn't want to lose his spot
@@PatrickBarnes86 I find that a little hard to believe jake got "bigger" pops than Hogan considering how over Hogan was in the early 90s. Maybe big pops but bigger???
@@cwatson42785 Hogan was not anywhere near as over in the early 90s as he used to be. Plus, Hogan was never as over as people think he was. All you have to do is look at the PPV buy rates. His draw was only ever as good as the feud he was in.
I adore Bret and always have, but Christ almighty Randy Savage was a pure athlete. More than once he comes running down the entrance and I'm always taken aback by how QUICK he is, how nimbly he moved through the ring.
Jake Roberts at the 13.45 good GOD people. This is how the modern day roster need to need to work. This is absolute gold. Jake never had to shout and roar. He just delivered with authority. Superb. One of the best promos ever. Legend ❣️
It looks like Jake Roberts is a big Pink Floyd man, at 13:56 he says part of the lyrics of One of My Turns (from The Wall album) It makes the whole promo even more awesome.
He quoted Prince in another promo I just saw a week or so ago, "how can you leave me just standing alone in a world that's so cold? Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father- too bold"
Had to subscribe after hearing some of the genius comedy from you guys while reviewing these classic events. Born back in 1980 and remember these as the glory days. Keep it up guys, I enjoy laughing with you!
You guys are the fucking best. As an American it's great to hear a few Irish lads making fun of us. Anyone with a sense of humor knows it's only jokes.
This ending, was a great way to save the Undertaker. You can't have the Undertaker lose clean, or else he could become another one of Hogan's castoff monster heels. By the Undertaker going out how he did, it means that he still has that monster image.
He had no business facing Hogan that early on in his WWF career. What a joke. I loved his original gimmick, but (even though it's not a legitimate sport) you still need to earn your shot. He had not. Fitting that he spent the next several years without a belt.
Between the snake biting/gnawing on Savage, Roberts punching (it looked like a punch when I was a kid) Elizabeth, the snake in a box wedding present and all of the other shenanigans (Reinstate Macho Man™ for example), this feud was **so** fucking memorable, and it all took place in the span of a few months.
That feud was so good that I genuinely felt a little uncomfortable watching it when I was a kid. And yeah, the cobra biting Randy probably also had a lot to do with it because it was so gruesome and disturbing to see a venomous snake (devenomed or not) bite someone. But that goes to show how comitted both guys were to the angle. It's almost a shame when the feud got dropped so quickly for Macho/Flair, but I dunno how long both Randy and Jake would've been able to sustain that level of intensity without it getting worn out.
Hell to think this was one of maybe the only times that even Bobby the Brain Heenan was disgusted at a Heel's actions. Just Jake was really on an epic level
The passion between Macho Man and Jake the Snake is just great. Don't see stuff like this anymore. I think this is truly the golden age, starting now and for the next few years.
Cutting the Hulkster into the ZZ Top jam made me spit my coffee all over me and damn near choked to death.. 😂. I was jamming along then Hogan out of nowhere 😂
Jake Roberts,Randy Savage,Rick Flair,Dusty Rhodes,Hulk Hogan The promo masters the masters of manipulating a crowd. HOLY SHIT that Roberts promo. I actually smiled at the end.
This was more of a house show rather than a ppv. They probably just thought "Hey, lets save money by recording the house show and sell it as a ppv." Brilliant! Why not show Piper vs Flair? It would've gave it 3 big matches on the card for people to watch.
At about 33:38 someone in the crowd throws something small like a coin or sweet or wad of paper and it hits Sherri right in the cleavage, fucking great shot that man!
I come back to watch this video every once in a while just to see Jake Roberts promo. It's so wonderful, one of my favorite promo of all time! Soooo good!
According to Barry Darsow the repo man character was supposed to have turned face after survivor series and gotten a push with the IC title but the push never happened and darsow left the company about a year and a half later.
Small note... Survivor Series was on the previous Thursday... This was the next Tuesday... 5 days, not 9... Even more impressive for the Resurrection of Hulkamania
Yeah you can hear a pin drop when the undertaker pinned Hulk Hogan. Oh yeah and Bobby Heenan declaring that hulkmania was officially dead and I was 8 years old I was scared to death that nobody can beat him and to be honest there shouldn't have been a just using Texas. At least not with Hulk, Hogan and undertaker I mean Hulk Hogan should have stepped aside. I think he had his run and was making another one. He's the only one I no that did it both ways? I mean was what everybody looked up to in the '80s and he turned into Hollywood Hogan with a nasty attitude and people love that s*** too. He just nailed the roll of a an asshole or heel whatever you want to call it but he did it better than anybody both ways. Personality wise
That many buys with less than a week's notice is actually very good for the time. I know around here, back then you couldn't just press a button to buy a PPV. You had to call the cable company and make sure they had an available box. If they did, then you could go and pick it up. It was a different box than the regular one you would use for cable TV. Don't remember if this was the one you had to hook up to your phone line too. Everything used to be a real hassle back in the day.
I have watched 3 days of your videos straight and I love them all. I hope you guys still make vids cause im subbed and would love to see more. Regardless thanks for the great content
The Steve's have no idea on how repo men work. They are sneaky to avoid confrontation and typically operate in the middle of the night or when the owner is away at work.
So in that bonus match at the end, the crowd is pretty firmly in Undertaker's camp. Is it because he's great, or because he was destroying the most worthless of the Hogan Mates?
I know this is years old, but a couple years ago Jake said the python actually committed suicide the same night it bit Randy. Snakes killing themselves is very uncommon, but it does happen (usually by eating themselves)
Someone ruined the Macho promo from after the match by saying he seems like he's waited too long to go to the toilet... And now it's ruined for you too #DA NA NA NA NA NA NA NAAA# (Big break)
I heard there was thought of Money Inc. being DiBiase and Repo Man. But IRS was a better pairing and had been receiving a push since mid-1991. They had also thought of putting IRS and Undertaker together as "Death & Taxes."
Here's two great trivia questions: 1) What wrestlers held the same gimmick and status as either a heel or a face for their entire career? 2) Who was the first WWF wrestler to hold all three titles more than once?
Jesus christ, what a sick promo from jake. All it takes is two minutes and a microphone and he'll convince you he is the devil incarnate. His demons gave him that ability, that twisted charisma. But they also took it away. a fascinating character.
36:50 the most iconic moment in the history of OSW Review.

I want to hear the entire clip. I think Jay said once they laughed for like 5 minutes and he cut it all out

Cutting the Hulkster into the ZZ Top jam made me spit my coffee all over me and damn near choked to death.. 😂. I was jamming along then Hogan out of nowhere 😂
Jake Roberts,Randy Savage,Rick Flair,Dusty Rhodes,Hulk Hogan The promo masters the masters of manipulating a crowd. HOLY SHIT that Roberts promo. I actually smiled at the end.
This was more of a house show rather than a ppv. They probably just thought "Hey, lets save money by recording the house show and sell it as a ppv." Brilliant! Why not show Piper vs Flair? It would've gave it 3 big matches on the card for people to watch.
At about 33:38 someone in the crowd throws something small like a coin or sweet or wad of paper and it hits Sherri right in the cleavage, fucking great shot that man!
You guys make me laugh so hard. It reminds me of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 but for wrestling.
Mitchell. Waka chica waka chika
Macho's interview after the match is the realest and emotional promo ever
This is lowkey one of the greatest reviews they ever did...that isn’t to say the rest aren’t all great as well
"The battle of the ROIDY McGoo's" LMFAO
Skinner was a last minute replacement for The Barbarian... I remember tuning in and saying "Huh?!?"
Holy shit that Jake Roberts promo....please WWE show all developmental talent this promo and teach them how to do it properly like this.
That Worzel intro is epic.
Legit, the Jake The Snake and Macho Man promos are some of the best, ever.
This was my first live PPV event I went to, won the tickets off a radio show.
I come back to watch this video every once in a while just to see Jake Roberts promo. It's so wonderful, one of my favorite promo of all time! Soooo good!
Macho man looks like a guy in the Muppets show band with the hat and feather in it.
I *love* the way Taker is gesturing to the Urn while doing primary school.
I loved the Warlord/Bulldog rivalry. It was like freakin cartoon characters going at it
When it started, both men used the running powerslam as a finisher... IMHO, WWF made a mistake by changing the Warload's finish...
According to Barry Darsow the repo man character was supposed to have turned face after survivor series and gotten a push with the IC title but the push never happened and darsow left the company about a year and a half later.

Pish.
Small note... Survivor Series was on the previous Thursday... This was the next Tuesday... 5 days, not 9... Even more impressive for the Resurrection of Hulkamania
Yeah you can hear a pin drop when the undertaker pinned Hulk Hogan. Oh yeah and Bobby Heenan declaring that hulkmania was officially dead and I was 8 years old I was scared to death that nobody can beat him and to be honest there shouldn't have been a just using Texas. At least not with Hulk, Hogan and undertaker I mean Hulk Hogan should have stepped aside. I think he had his run and was making another one. He's the only one I no that did it both ways? I mean was what everybody looked up to in the '80s and he turned into Hollywood Hogan with a nasty attitude and people love that s*** too. He just nailed the roll of a an asshole or heel whatever you want to call it but he did it better than anybody both ways. Personality wise
@@nathanmachen4109 Well, as Hollywood Hogan, he didn't really have to act as much...🤣👍
The greatest episode in OSW Review history
The Repo Man would be a babyface nowadays.
Keep pumping these out. Fantastic look back to my childhood.
"Elizabit Elizabit", how long was he with her and he can't say her name???
Gareth White Coke is a hell of a drug . . . Oooooh yeah!
well, the Bollea's successfully convinced her to divorce him in 92, so I don't know, 10ish years?
I actually love the repo man. You can tell in his skits he is having a great time.
That many buys with less than a week's notice is actually very good for the time. I know around here, back then you couldn't just press a button to buy a PPV. You had to call the cable company and make sure they had an available box. If they did, then you could go and pick it up. It was a different box than the regular one you would use for cable TV. Don't remember if this was the one you had to hook up to your phone line too. Everything used to be a real hassle back in the day.
42:18 perfect analogy lmao was thinking the same 😅
Jobbing to Virgil, is there any lower you can go in WWE? and in Jakes Promo he uses a line from the Pink Floyd song "one of my turns"
I have watched 3 days of your videos straight and I love them all. I hope you guys still make vids cause im subbed and would love to see more. Regardless thanks for the great content
The Steve's have no idea on how repo men work. They are sneaky to avoid confrontation and typically operate in the middle of the night or when the owner is away at work.
not always.
@@Gravydog316 yeah, in general. Like almost everything else in the world.
@@Gravydog316so…. typically?
I was just watching a documentary on Fit Finlay and his dad's wrestling company and one of the workers for there shows was Rasputin the mad monk.lol!!
How did NO ONE make a Homer Simpson comparison on the squiggly hair on the bald Warlord ? !?
Jake the Snake pilfers Pink Floyd shocker.
So in that bonus match at the end, the crowd is pretty firmly in Undertaker's camp. Is it because he's great, or because he was destroying the most worthless of the Hogan Mates?
jake roberts was a master of the mic.
I know this is years old, but a couple years ago Jake said the python actually committed suicide the same night it bit Randy. Snakes killing themselves is very uncommon, but it does happen (usually by eating themselves)
How was Repo Man a heel? At least IRS called everyone tax cheats. Repo is just doing his job
The vignette explained it.... A repo man wouldn't be called in after only three days being late.
ben brouillette repoing a car because a customer is 3 days late? Heel heat.
No said anything about Harvey Wifflemans exit before the Warlord match. He jumped straight with agility of a young Rey Mysterio.
Someone ruined the Macho promo from after the match by saying he seems like he's waited too long to go to the toilet... And now it's ruined for you too #DA NA NA NA NA NA NA NAAA# (Big break)
I heard there was thought of Money Inc. being DiBiase and Repo Man. But IRS was a better pairing and had been receiving a push since mid-1991. They had also thought of putting IRS and Undertaker together as "Death & Taxes."
I didn’t know Jake the Snake was that good on the mic. Well done Jake! One of the best
That Jake promo gave me chills!! Masterful stuff
13:55 Best opening lines to a wrestling promo Roger Waters ever wrote
This episode has the most savage what bar is Virgil 😧😂
Here's two great trivia questions: 1) What wrestlers held the same gimmick and status as either a heel or a face for their entire career? 2) Who was the first WWF wrestler to hold all three titles more than once?
