Absolutely. He probably looked better with the eagle belt than anyone with any title belt. The whole combination was perfect. You could tell his reverence for that title, as well.
JackgarPrime Bret Hart had genuine passion. The problem with Hart - he didn’t work against top names outside of Piper to help him be perceived as a “top” guy. I saw it at the time & I didn’t get it (no clue what was politics in business as a kid). Hart’s first run had him defending vs. Shawn & Razor - who were 2 years of building away. SS should have been Hart vs. Ted DiBiase (with a proper build & Jimmy Hart/IRS). DiBiase was few years removed from Main Event vs. Hogan/Savage but was still a credible Main Event (he WAS originally planned to be WWF Champ). Royal Rumble should have been a Ric Flair rematch or vs. Savage. UnderTaker should have won Royal Rumble for WrestleMania vs. Hart; teasing “dark” UT & let fans decide; with UT going over. Michaels should have been booked vs. Bob Backlund & Backlund booked properly as a Mick Foley like threat to win, given he was 5 year run of WWF Champion-giving Michaels “the wrestling level of his life” with Michaels barely escaping with win. Would have really pushed his past success & not as a mid-carder.
I loved the way the mat sounded in the mid nineties. Everything had such impact. Bret makes everything look so good. Punches, kicks, holds, transitions between moves. Him and Shawn were so great
@@paulk6399 Austin's talked about that very thing. Said he had to adjust his repertoire after coming to the Fed because the mat was way more stuff than the ones in WCW.
@@billhicks6449Yeah, you can even tell from a visual standpoint. The WCW mat always seemed a bit more bouncy to better absorb and diffuse the impact when someone bumps on it.
Also Taker puts nice linings and stuff into the caskets because he is _The_ Undertaker and so if he just halfarses the job, he’s letting his whole industry down.
RIP Scott Hall. Remembering him by binging all his matches in OSW Review. It would be too much work probably but it would be cool to have wrestler playlists. Like all of Hogan's matches reviewed in a playlist. Or in this case Scott Hall. Anyway, thanks for helping us remember the Bad Guy
Scott hall did some other sort of binging during a lot of his matches. Still the best bad guy of all time though. He would find that comment funny I am sure, so easy on the I offended you nonsense.
I always thought of the Damon Wayans character “Homie The Clown” from the show In Living Color. “I don’t think so” was part of his catchphrase followed by “Homie don’t play that.”
Soooooooooooooooooooooo happy to hear OOC is back. Missed him so much. Nothing against Maffew but OOC is the one that relates the most to me. So happy. Thank you. Never leave again please OOC.
It's said that Vince doesn't have any hobbies. Just wrestling. Which is even odder when you consider what he thinks are good ideas for people to use when it comes to gimmicks
@@millhousemillard2140 that's because he basically had a monopoly for the past 20 years, and everything else has failed, but he makes mo ey with wrestling
The "Ultimate Maniacs" is what happened when Warrior stumbled in on Macho snorting rails and decided to try some for the first time. A coke-fueled man crush was born, and Warrior raided Macho's closet to play dress-up.
Razor Ramon was one of the things i didn't like about this era i thought the gimmicks were a bit rubbish and they ruined the good ones they had but we all have our favourite. I liked the bulldog ffs not as much as MACHO OHHHHHH YEEEAAAHHHH king or not he was the best showman
I'm a huge Bret Hart fan, but that was hilarious, lol. "Shawn Michaels, you're Shawn Michaels!" "Tonight, we're gonna find out who's Shawn Michaels!" 😂
Yea OOC is right; you guys are definitely in the minority hating on Razor Ramon. Definitely one of the most beloved characters/gimmicks of the 90s. In fact I could not wait for you guys to get to around ‘95 just so I could see Razor in these reviews. Definitely my favorite wrestler from that time.
He was spectaculor. Definately exuded "I'm going somewhere" I used to wonder what'd happen had Scott Hall got his shit together back in the day. The timelines we never got to see.
Loved Razor, one of my favorites as a young kid, but mid-late 1993 was much better than here. His vocal delivery, presence, the walk, and mannerisms as Razor became better over time.
Bit of Kayfabe: Perhaps Rikishi is using his partner to help balance himself on the precarious top rope and to catch him if he slips. However this also implies that the two are afraid and clumsy.
Really great episode guys. I love this one. And I am so excited for the story arc that's on the way. These videos really make me happy. I just zone out with a big smile on my face for 40 minutes. It's very nostalgic and takes me back to a happier time. Thank you guys.
The legend of Yakazuma lives on! Sorry to nerd out here - but Bret and Shawn used a bunch of rest holds because (according to Bret's autobiography) Shawn came up to him and said he wasn't conditioned to go a hard 30 minutes.
I get people love to shit on Bret (and while he embellishes I think he is quite honest), but at the time Shawn wasn't quite a year into his singles run and other than a good little 9 minute match against bulldog wasn't particularly great as a solo act until the feud with Razor. Though he did work some great matches against Marty before then.
Yeah I mean it depends what you're looking for. Bret's promo I actually thought was okay here, but it's really not the way he told his stories. He was a straight shooter and he felt real...when it came to the stick he wasn't dripping with charisma. In the ring on the other hand, he could be electric. And while you can never confuse him for a mega-star the level of Austin or Hogan, he was a legit top guy/main event talent. I'm looking forward to KOTR '93 because he has a really awesome night, especially the rematch with Perfect. Such great storytelling and psychology, coupled with really hard hitting action. I think V1, OOC, and Jay will be pleased--though they've surprised me before :-p
@@JonCombo His wife is justified. WWF essentially murdered him, yet selfish cunt fans want the company responsible for Owen's death to peddle/leech/mooch/profiteer off of his good name when Owen was above that petty, phony garbage.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh I think JonCombo meant it would be better for Hogan and Nash to bury him professionally than for his wife to literally bury him because he died.
To answer your question: I take Razor Ramon over Scott Hall any day of the week. The name alone is so cool and he portrays the Macho-persona perfectly.
MrDrokkul Correct , I’m 99.9% that was their specific source of borrowing that idea from. Madden was huge during that time and especially thought of for his Thanksgiving game coverage.
Haha yeah the dude is a legend..ALL the dudes from that era are cringey or goofy besides Bret who played it straight, but compared to some of the really bad racist caricatures just doing a tony Montana faux Cuban is not that bad. I'll totally agree any time people want to rip on the hulkster and how lame that egotist douche is but not Ramone
Just want to say thank you guys for all that you do. I remember commenting on your Wrestlemania 9 video like 4 years ago and asked why you didn't review Survivor Series 92 and you responded saying you were doing the Hulkamania era. Well now you have filled the void and I couldn't be happier with the result. Thanks again
Interesting take on the Brain Scan .. but being an American company, they were more taking the piss out of John Madden, who did the same thing in the NFL
It's amazing the jump in professionalism that a few years can make, and how much I absolutely adore these episodes that feel like they've grown with me. And I still to this day don't know what Davey-Boy says because all I can hear is, "LOOKIT THIS TINY BURGER! LOOK AT IT!"
Bret is the absolute best. I remember as a kid I always used to want Owen to beat him when they were feuding, because I preferred his high-flying moves. But Bret makes it feel like a real fight somehow in a way that's better than just about anybody, he's just so good at pro wrestling. I think you guys have talked about that in the past.
Hey! As a Latino kid, who would rather watch American style rather than Lucha, I LOVED RAZOR RAMON. We didn’t have many guys who represented the Latin/Hispanic demographic. You can have the legit Mexican Tito Santana, I’ll take Razor Ramon any day. 😉
The voice of Nailz (who was defently one of my boys!) was effected by a BOSS VT-1, which was one of the first modules for altering the pitch of voices live.. "Every kidnappers dream"... as they say :-D Greetings from Vienna! I admire your work, guys!
About that last "move" Shawn tried on Bret that got transitioned into the Sharpshooter - it would've looked a lot more believable if Shawn was attempting a flying double ax handle smash, only to have Bret catch him, hold him for a quick beat, then drop him on his back for the Sharpshooter. That would've seemed like a more credible move instead of that "flying barse tackle" he attempted. Perhaps Shawn was too heavy to allow Bret to catch him in midair for the double ax handle transition, so Shawn just jumped at him legs-first so Bret wouldn't have to catch him?
>Says that Russo can't be a boy cuz he was a World Champion. >Says that Jinder can be a boy despite being a World Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing is a total disregard for the things the Boys Club stand for. All this hypocrisy, unfairness, destruction of THE RULES! Are these the things we think of when we think of the Boys? In all seriousness, loved the episode, brahs. Can't wait for the '93 Rumble review! :)
Some cases of Boydum can't be scrubbed clean...I still see Christian as a Boy regardless of the nwa and world title runs. I'd even say Christian and Matt Hardy are stuck with a "That Other Boy" complex being shadows of their tag team/brother. no amount of world titles redeems it.
Lads, I hope you know that since Macaulay Culkin did an appearance for you, you're now mandated to do a film review of one of his movies and shit all over him. Respectfully and with love, of course.
Idk, uh...in an effort to not go for the two obvious ones: Richie Rich? Or The Good Son where he's a little serial killer in the making, starring opposite Frodo? But of the two Home Alones, I'd definitely go with the second because I think it has way more material for you to work with, especially since it's just doing the first movie over again. And it has Tim Curry!
Do Jacob's Ladder. Not only is it a great movie and the source material for Silent Hill, but also fits better with the joke of him being famous for ambushing Chavo, seeing that he played a minor role.
Don't know about best but Party Monster would probably give you the most material to work with. Lots of questionable things going on in that one.. on and off screen
Some of those wrestling podcasts be talking about how they're for life. OSW REVIEW somos unos vatos locos FOREVER...... FOREVER........ FOREVER...... FOREVER.....
I love Razor Ramon. The best gear in wrestling history imo. I feel like if he didn't go to wcw the mid 90s might've actually not been as garbage as they were cuz he woulda been another main event title contender to go along with Bret and Shawn
One thing I'll never understand about Nailz: he never took off his prison garb. Like, he was so desperate to get out, but now it's his entire identity? Also, am I the only one who thinks that his chin lock looks absolutely terrible? That said, it's amazing how much the 'thing on a pole' match is over. Like it hasn't been diluted yet. But, the nightstick doesn't even really factor into the finish. So it was kinda pointless to the feud.
Finally, we get to the good times! Im 100% on the Lex Express, and how can you not love Razor? He's a wrestling Tony Montana ! Love the video, lads !!!! I think the New Generation gets waaaaay too much shit. It just was sandwiched between 2 huge boon times for the WWF.
Haha! Watched this last night on oswreview.com! Crazy that I could've just waited a day for the YT version. Good on ya, fellas! Fun episode! (Not any Lex in this Survivor Series though.) Looking forward to this arc for sure!
Razor Ramon is a great midcard gimmick, but the big problem is that he was pushed as a top heel right off the bat. Even as a kid, I never bought him as a threat to Savage or Hart; hell, just a year prior he was the Diamond Studd (from the Diamond Mine!), and now I'm supposed to view him a main eventer? It's no surprise that after maineventing Royal Rumble 1993, Razor Ramon quickly got shunted down the card, where he finally got the money angle with the 1-2-3 Kid.
The one thing I find interesting about the elimination match is that the year before 99% of them were on the same team as one of their opponents. The Nasty Boys teamed with The Beverly Sisters and The Natural Disasters teamed with IRS.
1:04:00 Virgil has me convinced that this Yakazuma from the far East in a menace to society. I wonder how the world champion Brett Hart is going to react to these warnings.
I was such a huge Razor Ramon mark as a kid. The Razors Edge was a bad ass finisher and I couldn't get enough of him. That said. Mr Perfect might be my all time favourite wrestler. I've enjoyed every single match i've ever seen him in.
I miss the days when they played up the autumn/Thanksgiving connection to Survivor Series with their graphics and promos (though I could do without the Gobbledy Gooker, and leave Santa out of it until December). I also wish the WWE had incorporated Halloween Havoc into their PPV schedule after buying out WCW. A Hell in a Cell match would've fit quite well into Halloween Havoc, but undoubtedly they would've also used a lot of the more stupid gimmick matches Halloween Havoc used instead.

And I still to this day don't know what Davey-Boy says because all I can hear is, "LOOKIT THIS TINY BURGER! LOOK AT IT!"
Bret is the absolute best. I remember as a kid I always used to want Owen to beat him when they were feuding, because I preferred his high-flying moves. But Bret makes it feel like a real fight somehow in a way that's better than just about anybody, he's just so good at pro wrestling. I think you guys have talked about that in the past.
OSW Review is the best. To quote Patton: "I love it. God help me I do love it so. I love it more than my life."
Love you dude!
Hey! As a Latino kid, who would rather watch American style rather than Lucha, I LOVED RAZOR RAMON. We didn’t have many guys who represented the Latin/Hispanic demographic. You can have the legit Mexican Tito Santana, I’ll take Razor Ramon any day. 😉
But he isn't Latino? You would rather have a caricature
@@thomasc.5219 Even a caricature is representation of a sort.
The voice of Nailz (who was defently one of my boys!) was effected by a BOSS VT-1, which was one of the first modules for altering the pitch of voices live.. "Every kidnappers dream"... as they say :-D Greetings from Vienna! I admire your work, guys!
About that last "move" Shawn tried on Bret that got transitioned into the Sharpshooter - it would've looked a lot more believable if Shawn was attempting a flying double ax handle smash, only to have Bret catch him, hold him for a quick beat, then drop him on his back for the Sharpshooter. That would've seemed like a more credible move instead of that "flying barse tackle" he attempted. Perhaps Shawn was too heavy to allow Bret to catch him in midair for the double ax handle transition, so Shawn just jumped at him legs-first so Bret wouldn't have to catch him?
What does Yakazuma mean?
It means Japanese wrestler.
Macauley bloody Culkin! Well done lads, great vid as always
>Says that Russo can't be a boy cuz he was a World Champion.
>Says that Jinder can be a boy despite being a World Champion.
Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing is a total disregard for the things the Boys Club stand for. All this hypocrisy, unfairness, destruction of THE RULES! Are these the things we think of when we think of the Boys?
In all seriousness, loved the episode, brahs. Can't wait for the '93 Rumble review! :)
Boys will be boys
Some cases of Boydum can't be scrubbed clean...I still see Christian as a Boy regardless of the nwa and world title runs. I'd even say Christian and Matt Hardy are stuck with a "That Other Boy" complex being shadows of their tag team/brother. no amount of world titles redeems it.
How can High Energy be the first tag-team to be inducted to the Boys Club, when the Killer Bees exist???
I love how Perfect got his money from Lloyds of London where he could retire, but was still allowed to wrestle in a tag team.
Thought I was the only Hogan fan that watched these lol
And yes, that animated bit during the casket talk was hilarious. OOC's kayfabe-smashing observations are utter gold.
OSW the perfect cure for a hangover
Legends
This truly was the golden era of Professional wrestling.
41:49 Warrior doing his best Lou Reed impression.
This is hilarious!
I freaking loved the razor gimmick. Every bit of it. One of my all time favorites. Scott Hall. But especially the Razor years
Never expected Maculay Culkin to show up in an OSW Review
TheOpt1m1st1cGuy *vince voice* Anything can happen on OSW
UNBELIEVABLE!
Lads, I hope you know that since Macaulay Culkin did an appearance for you, you're now mandated to do a film review of one of his movies and shit all over him. Respectfully and with love, of course.
ha ha! Great idea, I'll pitch it to the lads. What's Mack's best film?
Idk, uh...in an effort to not go for the two obvious ones: Richie Rich? Or The Good Son where he's a little serial killer in the making, starring opposite Frodo?
But of the two Home Alones, I'd definitely go with the second because I think it has way more material for you to work with, especially since it's just doing the first movie over again. And it has Tim Curry!
OSW Review HD The Pagemaster is pretty shite if you don't want to review a good movie.
Do Jacob's Ladder. Not only is it a great movie and the source material for Silent Hill, but also fits better with the joke of him being famous for ambushing Chavo, seeing that he played a minor role.
Don't know about best but Party Monster would probably give you the most material to work with. Lots of questionable things going on in that one.. on and off screen
Hearing the classic themes again, mixed with the 90's childhood nostalgia. Amazing stuff boys.
Some of those wrestling podcasts be talking about how they're for life. OSW REVIEW somos unos vatos locos FOREVER...... FOREVER........ FOREVER...... FOREVER.....
V1 is getting to big for his farts smelling his own boots
Raccoon Boi Bollocks ya bet me to it
Raccoon Boi h. Vh1
and VCR tape rentals increased,so alot of us jus waited for the p.p.v.s to come out on tape(also probably cause we knew they were gonna suck)
And when you were ten years old forty bucks might as well have been a thousand.
*That Yakazuma is a menace* 🇯🇵🈵🈯🈳
I love Razor Ramon. The best gear in wrestling history imo. I feel like if he didn't go to wcw the mid 90s might've actually not been as garbage as they were cuz he woulda been another main event title contender to go along with Bret and Shawn
I'm just now re-watching this arc and I'm marking out at the opening because I realize Lanny wrote that promo for Randy to rhyme. 😂
Tatanka's wrestling moveset reminds me of Kin Corn Karn from NES Pro Wrestling
i popped seeing Macauly culkin do a "helllooooooooo" all of a sudden mid episode
I absolutely love Mr Perfects singlet on that night, I think it’s one of the best gears he wore in his entire career
Clean
Mr. Perfect is under appreciated
One thing I'll never understand about Nailz: he never took off his prison garb. Like, he was so desperate to get out, but now it's his entire identity? Also, am I the only one who thinks that his chin lock looks absolutely terrible? That said, it's amazing how much the 'thing on a pole' match is over. Like it hasn't been diluted yet. But, the nightstick doesn't even really factor into the finish. So it was kinda pointless to the feud.
Finally, we get to the good times! Im 100% on the Lex Express, and how can you not love Razor? He's a wrestling Tony Montana ! Love the video, lads !!!! I think the New Generation gets waaaaay too much shit. It just was sandwiched between 2 huge boon times for the WWF.
I’m so happy that you went back to the original intro
Lex For Hall of Fame!!!!!
*Pained Lex Groan* OW
Lakers fan DDP and Goldberg recently got there, others will be there.
No, he was decent wrestler but hof not even close.
Eric Escibedi Hall of fame of over the counter pills.💊💉
31:09 Come on Jay. Miss Justice can't be Sid's wife. Then she'd be Mrs Justice. Must be his sister (sidster, if you will)
IT FINALLY HAPPENED!
The Brain Scan was lifted from NBA color analyst Mike Fratello, who at the time had the nickname "The Czar of the Telestrator"
Also, only just thought of this.
Way are we not calling Road Dogg's finisher the "Hump Handle Slam"?
Haha! Watched this last night on oswreview.com! Crazy that I could've just waited a day for the YT version. Good on ya, fellas! Fun episode! (Not any Lex in this Survivor Series though.) Looking forward to this arc for sure!
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH GLACIER AS A BOY!
Razor Ramon is a great midcard gimmick, but the big problem is that he was pushed as a top heel right off the bat. Even as a kid, I never bought him as a threat to Savage or Hart; hell, just a year prior he was the Diamond Studd (from the Diamond Mine!), and now I'm supposed to view him a main eventer? It's no surprise that after maineventing Royal Rumble 1993, Razor Ramon quickly got shunted down the card, where he finally got the money angle with the 1-2-3 Kid.
Animated OSW is amazing 1:08:13
Mr Plow was 30 years ago
The one thing I find interesting about the elimination match is that the year before 99% of them were on the same team as one of their opponents. The Nasty Boys teamed with The Beverly Sisters and The Natural Disasters teamed with IRS.
When OOC asked what move Michaels was doing when he was being countered into the sharpshoter, he could have misjudged a hurricanrana
OSW + 92 + Phil Collins= thanks lads.
JosephDiEgidio do you remember?
1:04:00 Virgil has me convinced that this Yakazuma from the far East in a menace to society. I wonder how the world champion Brett Hart is going to react to these warnings.
This is already light years above last year's angle. Thank you OSW.
Never realized macho man stole that promo at the beginning from a country song haha
I received the glasses from Bret survivor series 92. Still have them crazy how time fly’s
really? That's awesome! Can u snap a pic and tweet me? (@OSWreview) I'd love to see em!
OSW Review HD ok will do today
I was such a huge Razor Ramon mark as a kid. The Razors Edge was a bad ass finisher and I couldn't get enough of him. That said. Mr Perfect might be my all time favourite wrestler. I've enjoyed every single match i've ever seen him in.
So you didn't see much of his WCW stuff?
@@mathewbarrie9149 he had a great feud with DDP
I miss the days when they played up the autumn/Thanksgiving connection to Survivor Series with their graphics and promos (though I could do without the Gobbledy Gooker, and leave Santa out of it until December). I also wish the WWE had incorporated Halloween Havoc into their PPV schedule after buying out WCW. A Hell in a Cell match would've fit quite well into Halloween Havoc, but undoubtedly they would've also used a lot of the more stupid gimmick matches Halloween Havoc used instead.
I liked before watching.
À votre santé brah! 😘
Hey, I know you from other places on the internet!
Hey its that guy who voiced that puss in boots movie:)
Same. I always do with OSW, hahaha.
ya fawking, mark
