leatherface cutting the most bland, run of the mill babyface promo was so odd
I didn't notice how bland that promo was because I was too distracted by his lovely eyes.
The original Leatherface, who went to prison which is what brought this new one in for a couple years, was way better at the role.
I really hope he does good in this tournament. Leatherface numba 2!!! OSW numba 1!!!!!
@SharpKnifeProductions bro re-read my comment. I said the original leather face was better at the role.
@@justin43098 ho ho! Yokozuna namba 1!
Mick Foley said in his first book that the secret to the bed of nails is to hit as many as possible at a time because it distributes the impact more and no individual nail goes that far into you. He said that one time Leatherface broke off just a couple nails, drove them into a dude's neck, and almost killed him.
That was Kirschner, not the Leatherface here...that's Rick Hamilton.;..
Cool. Didn't Hamilton have to take over the gimmick because Kirschner got arrested for hitting a fan or something? I can't quite remember.
@@chrishoskavich2435 Kirschner went into business for himself during a match and almost killed one of the Japanese guys with part of a Bed Of Nails that he drove into his neck...he was fired on the spot...
@@peterisnardi1197 It was Rick Patterson.

Jay you are such an inspiration as a content creator, I mean even beyond wrestling content. LONG videos entertaining throughout, always dropping secret gifts and bonus episodes, and even during times like this giving away all the premium content for free. There really isn't anyone else on TH-cam treating their fans as well as you do.
There is more great videos like this on oswreview.com.
I'm sure you haven't watched Botchamania
Oh. Have I ever! I started on that like 6 years before OSW. I found OSW through recommended videos while watching Botchamania and Wrestling With Wregret. Out of all the similarly themed channels, OSW has the best of all the worlds. The best time EVER was when I watched one OSW episode and realized they had so many more... Enough can't be said about the presence and facts and just hotdoging and grandstanding that I have come to love dearly from my Boys Jay Hunter, Steve (OOC) and also Steve (V1). They have put a genuine smile on my face. I'm 38 and the old school reviews just hit some sort of sweet spot with me. As always. Yokozuna numba one!!!! Caesars Palace numba one!!! And all the Noggers numba one!!! Plus Botchamania lacks the on point, hilarious and very factual commentary of my favorite mildly racist Irish lads.
Oh. And the theme songs... The production value. The community. The inside jokes. The splicey splicey bits. The animations. I can go on but that's me telling you what you want.... ha.
the dude'S AMAZING.
Jay - "This is a great idea, why did nobody take this exploding C4?"
V1 - "Probably because of what happens at the end."
Fast forward to early 2021, V1 was more accurate than he probably would have guessed! Haha!
Is this the infamous episode where the OSW lads missed the "explosion" in main event because they were focusing on something else? Unfortunate. :(
Rest in Peace Funker, I just happened to be watching this when I heard the news.
I sometimes get legit a lil sad when thinking about Terry Funk. Knowing that following his heart left him worse off than he ever was before and he knows it. I really wish he would have taken the money as well...
If you get sad, remember: he had the best aim EVER, with all the gimmick weapons.
@@sexywhite7198 I immediately saw in my head him hoofing non folding chairs at Ralphus legs first and beaming him in the face with em back in WCW Slamboree 2000. Thank you for turning my mood around.
Ending up worse than you were is the story of pro wrestlers everywhere.
Eh, life isn't all about making money.
Well most who spend their career in Pro Wrestling end up battered and broke. And most of them will be forgotten or never even known. While I agree with you about Terry, he is one of the most well known and respected of all time. And that can't be taken away
Hey Brahs, I was having a really rough day and this just popped up in my feed. Much appreciated.
“Cooter brown shut up you idiot!” Oh my god I was in stitches watching that bit. 😂
Genuinely can't believe how slim and fit Mick Foley is here
Ever see his wwf squashes?
he was slim in WCW too. When he first started doing that cactus Jack gimmick, he had a real steely glint in his eye, he actually came across as a legit tough guy
He gained a lot of weight in 1995-97, especially on the road with wwf in 96-97
Why were the Japanese so fascinated with fat guys wrestling as old horror villains? Weird.
Because it was still real to Japan.
That's not even in the top 10 of weird things they're into.
Because horror movies are...AWESOOOME! *MK X-Ray move*
My guess (based on pretty much nothing) is because American wrestling stars probably couldn't draw money due to lack of exposure, but movie characters were famous. Maybe? I don't know.
Cause Corporal Kershner wouldn’t get over in IWA.
Don’t need a bucket list after appearing in an OSW vid : life complete! Cheers for the shoutout at 57:57, Jay, 💙 you guys 🤘🏼
Criminally under-viewed video. I love the watch along boys it’s a classic for me.
My favorite of all time is Mick Foley. The bleeding, death defying, explosion ignoring, future NY time bestselling author, Santa Claus enthusiast, hardcore legend Mick Foley.
Ya, he wasn’t over. He was forgotten as soon as the thumbtacks where pulled outta his ass. Sorry chap.

I genuinely liked this and the Hardcore Homecoming casual let's watch vids. I mean true the PPVs are absolute bollocks but they're both a piece of wrestling history worth noting and I love the laid back nature of having some beers and havin' the craic. Cheers.
oh, also...
TERRYYYYYYYYY
FUNKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu
I hope the do long videos of good ppvs sometimes too lol
"I wonder how the Japanese audience felt about two gaijin in the main event, like, would they be pissed off that no Japanese was there to like--" "Be King of the Deathmatch?" "Yeah."
Terry Funk is basically an honorary Japanese since he's got an anime character based on him (Terryman from Kinnikuman)
Was this before or after he became a pop star in Japan with his album?
@@Siepher83 Several years before "Great Texan" was released (Kinnikuman started in 1978 IIRC)
@@taffysaur Oh, they're DEFINITELY obsessed with race, considering how people said Hana Kimura looked like a gorilla because she's half-Indonesian.
@@taffysaur not as obsessed with race? LMAO ok dude
For a lot of American fans that NWA title belt was the championship of the world. And many curse the day the "Big Gold" was introduced by Crockett. It didn't matter that NWA was pretty much dead, that belt was tradition.
“Immediately into racism“. I genuinely laughed out loud at that.
Actually "festus" could still sell the bell making him bonkers thing is only caused by the ring bell because it's not the sound but that particular and specific frequency that causes it.
Those Cactus promos were gold
Not joking, pretty sure that Terry Funk impression is easily the most accurate impression on this show. Other than Gary Strydom WOWWW of course
Anyone else notice the paper sign on the locker room that says "Cuctus Jack" @36:07 ? 😆
@EraofBlood82 Yeah, sure, but this isn't some crass xenophobia. It's just an unfortunate misspelling that implies a different meaning if... you know what, I'll tell you when you're older.
Still a pretty accurate Leatherface impression by OOC, tbh.
Dan Severn talks like English isn't his first language.
Like a beast.
I’ve always marveled at Terry’s carnival pants…
This is exactly what I needed right now in these strange times. You guys are the best.
Waited so long for this to be on TH-cam. 🙏🙏🙏 thanks lads
At a WCW show in 99 I saw Silver King in a tag match. A couple dozen people in the crowd started chanting "Silver queen". Silver King looked to the crowd, cupping his ear, trying to hear the chant. He looked so excited at the prospect of an American crowd chanting his name. Then when he finally understood what the crowd was really chanting.. saddest face ever! Lol
I’ve seen this before, the actual show from the old tape traders… and I’m watching this today, and noticed in the Mr. Gannosuke (love that guy) vs Tiger Jeet Singh match, Gypsy Joe is the ref! The guy New Jack tried to kill!
Sadly "That guy New Jack tried to kill" doesn't narrow it down very much.
Nice one Brahs! a watch-along! > Always love slapping your videos on while I work!
Glad I joined you all live for this one brahs!
So weird! I went to the website the other day just to watch this episode. One of my favorites, since the tone is soo different. I think a couple of one offs covering unique or historically relevant shows like this would do well for you guys!
You have no idea how looking I have been waiting for these to be up on TH-cam, would love to see more let's watch's but I understand they may be harder to do for time reasons
Glad you finally uploaded this to the channel!!
This Leatherface wasn't Kircher it was Rick Patterson. I think by this point kircher (the 1st LF) had benn kick out of IWA for shooting on Hiroshi Ono after a Bed of Nails match. By shoot I mean he beat the crap out of Ono and (unplanned) powerbombed him as hard as he could on to the nails.
Didn't he try to stomp Ono's throat through the nails?? Fucking nasty...
@@SteveGeary52 Yeah, I first read anout it in Mick Foley's first book. Mick claimed Kircher was a nice guy with a nasty temper. After seeing the match...well I'd Say Kircher makes late 90/early 00s Scott Steiner look like Mr Rogers.
Jesus that's fucked!
At this point he was in prison/banned for a year for assaulting a Japanese dude. Patterson came in as his replacement.
@@FatherAxeKeeper Pretty sure this was after that, when they brought him back to be Patterson's tag team partner and he went psycho on Ono. Again I'm going by what Foley wrote in his book.
When I was in early 2000s, my roommate got this video on vhs from an advertisement in the back of a wrestling magazine.
Thank you osw review I'm looking forward to Sunday slams helps a lot with this quarantine
35:13 you know you can pick up broken glass and tacks without cutting yourself, or is it an irish thing that when you break a glass you just leave it there because its just to DEADLY.
Love the VHS of this in the white case. Still have my copy from the tape trading days!
i never got a case haha i ordered it back in like 97 and it was just a vhs with iwa japan written in marker on it, wrapped in a plastic bag
Brilliant boys, loved it!
Talking about Chris Hero before resigned by WWE, only to released again by WWE.
Boy status. 1:24:00
Jay Hunter you fooking animal! I ask and you deliver, thanks man!
Terry Funk´s and his dog phonecall is fucking hilarious :-D :-D :-D
Bought this year's ago & it then got pasted round all my mates. my favourite is Cactus elbow into a bed of nails in top of the opponent. The guys face is like "why??" Still makes me laugh
Yes. You get it.
I watched it with grandpa in his worlds "this is fake but not so fake"
Hey guys . Recently picked up another version of the King Of The Deathmatch Tournament on dvd and it was the whole tournament from start to finish . Was glad to pick it up . This tournament is a classic and must watch/own .
I had this VHS tape i bought from RF video!! 💥
The first purchase I ever made from RF Video back in 98. I’m sure the boys’ review will be magic!
A-knife goes in, a-guts come out.
That's what Osaka Seafood Concern is all about.
Silver King was in the movie Nacho Libre. He played the wrestler with the gold (why not silver?) mask in the boss match.
The character's name was Ramses.
@@joshkaid That's right. I totally forgot.
In response to V1's complains at the psychology of Terry Funk not running the ropes even though he was thrown with Cactus Jack's Irish Whip:
The reason wrestlers would run with the flow of an Irish Whip is because it's the easiest way to carry momentum. If the wrestlers just stopped and resisted they would be put off balance and be in a perfect position to take a move like a Front Russian Leg Sweep. However if they run the ropes they would be farther away from the opponent, and on their way back could either reverse what the opponent is trying to do, or quickly throw a move of their own.
"Well why don't they hit the ropes and just stay there then?" I hear you asking, the reason being if they hit the ropes with their back and stand still, the opponent would logically hit a clothesline to knock them over the top rope and potentially straight on their head on the hard apron or floor.
Terry Funk did the most logical thing, using Jack's momentum to get a few steps away from him to avoid a direct move, but being able to stop right in front of the barbed wire ropes. Because Funk is so close to the barbed wire, he could easily reverse the forward momentum from any of Jack's potential moves straight into the barbed wire. Recognizing this Jack decides to not continue the offence instead taking a moment to pause and figure out his next point of attack. Funk sees his plan was executed perfectly and taunts Jack by tapping his own head, saying in his body language: "See Jack, this body may be worn but this mind is not. My ring experience will be your downfall."
Thanks Regal!
The real answer is because wrestling.
A winner is you?
I mean, I like it!
Thank you for posting this on TH-cam 😁
I found this show from the bootleg show stranglemania from ICP.
Sounds weird not hearing 3D and Guido.
Thanks Jay you magnificent bastard.
Leatherface is a perfect baby face.
No I'm pretty sure he's a heel wearing a baby's face
I may be mistaken, as it's been a long time since I read Mick Foley's first book, but I seem to recall him saying that Terry Gordy told him point blank he would *not* take a bump onto thumbtacks, no ifs, ands, or buts.
If I'm not mistaken i don't think Terry Gordy even knew the match was gone involve thumbtacks until a interview they did at a press conference in Japan. Gordy asked Mick about it after words and asked him to get him through the match unhurt and like the pro he was Mick did,
In his book Mick said Gordy wasn't in that great of shape for this match. That's why the power bomb looked like shit. Gordy asked him to "just help me out there, man". Mick knew he'd have to bump around for him to make it look good, so he did.
@@NomnomJawsnomnom Yea that sounds about right. Didn't Gordy have a OD that left him with some form of brain damage or something? I've heard wrestlers say he was never the same afterwards which is a shame as he seemed a good worker prier to it.
Tiger basically gave Gannosuke nothing. What a jerk
He basically took no bumps in either match.
Tiger was like that, whereas Funk would bump his ass off for someone
Who would of thought Leather Face was such a nice guy?
@wade wilson good point they are the real bad guys.
Or when his family start bullying him.
@@worldsbiggestbastard I can relate to that ...
There's a trick to those beds of nails that magicians also took advantage of when they used them in live performances - if you lie down in one the weight gets distributed equally and so you don't actually get hurt or even feel pain.
Magicians would even have cinderblocks placed on their bodies while they're on such a bed, and then have those blocks be destroyed by a hammer, but they wouldn't get hurt.
Obviously the scientific principles behind that may not pull through if you hit the bed at odd angles and so on, but they're probably safer than they look. They're safer than the actual barbed wire I reckon
Regal and Finlay as one?
So a Northern Ireland guy.
**my car blows up**
V1 talking about Mass Effect, my favorite video game series of all time, made me so fucking happy. Cheers mates!
18:50 "TELLEEEEEE FANKUUUUUUUUUU" Never gets old 🤣
The ref is dressed like a reject crew member from the old Minardi F1 team.
He looks like he should be standing in the pit lane with a clipboard going over pre-race set up.
Minardi....I havent heard that name in forever.....
Oh man, I haven't thought about the most underdog of underdog teams in forever. Definitely one of My Boys.
@@TMMQuicksilver
Minardi and Arrows were both my favoriets back in the day, it was always so fun to watch a little privateer team with limited resources being able too punch way above its weight class.
Sadly it look s like williams is about too follow them into oblivion.
Roberto Moreno is somehow in the crowd for that IWA show as a result.
@@Mateus_Carvalho #pupomania
A++++ as usual Brahs! I marked out!
Happy days are here again!
When they mentioned Niall and the lost footage I was hoping it was on the legendary external hard drive that never returned.
Your guys' retrospective on hardcore wrestling feels a little bittersweet with the news that Danny Havoc has just died about an hour ago in relation to this post.
This is my top boy of OSW Review episodes.
There all wearing white so that the fans can see blood from far away
This is like 5 yrs old and I luv it
how are you not gonna comment on Cactus Jack's badass barbed wire cross at the beginning?

Funny the conversation about wrestlers not being good enough so they have to turn to death match wrestling, Moxley started that way, goes to the Dub and then goes back to that style of wrestling.
Everyone was dressed for the 1988 NWA Bunkhouse Stampede PPV
Hello Ladies!!! Its me bigVALbowski54!! So glad to see OSW!!!!!!
I was always hoping this one would make TH-cam one day.
I bought this VHS tape from an RF Video ad back around 1999
I love the idea of an OSW watchalong, though I wish the PPV audio wasn’t muted completely whenever the boys talk. Just turn it down enough to hear both
Someone only watched the first 10 minutes :P
Bad news batter is the NWA announcer for powerrrrr. And he looks great. He's also amazing.
29:40 Sadly, this was probably the best Gordy could do from mid 1993 onwards - a painkiller overdose lead to a coma that caused permanent brain damage. Considering he was used to doing those fiery rasslin'-style promos throughout his career, this approach is a far cry from his prime.
Should of taken the money!
Honestly that Severn match is really good. That would be a decent match even in todays wrestling. A lot of moves, done really smooth, Severn sells pretty well too.
wait what you reviewed Halloween Havoc '98??????????????? Where is this my boys!
I realize he probably GIVEN the Leatherface gimmick by IWA, but for fuck's sake COMMIT!
*KIZAFIZABE!!!!*
Thanks for living Jay.
Aw you're a peach! Hey if we got married u wouldn't need to change surnames 🙂
Headhunters are definitely boys of mine
A "No rope explosive barbed wire fire board time bomb death match" eh? Talk about a tongue twister with more stips combined, than a 2001 WCW Russo triple main even (aka NO main event)!
Saddest thing about this is watching post stroke Terry Gordy who at his prime was one of the best heel wrestlers ever like jake Roberts his promos were believable
When Dan Severn is trying to trash talk, he's trying to hide his lisp and it makes him sound like English is a second language!
Hawk had painfully high pants in the late Georgia early AWA time period.
True story but those were impact resistant pants.
Oh, man. Dan Severn was SO GOOD!!!
Rumble 2000 please Jay! 😬😬😬
41:25 Discussion of the British Bulldog wrestling in his jeans 😂👍
I remember watching this when it first came out it was this before or after hardcore homecoming? (In OSW order I mean) I can't remember for the life of me...
my brother used to load gravel trucks in the north dakota oilfield and kirshner/leatherface was one of the drivers...
Danny havoc died. This is a sad day
Canadian Leather Face appearing in Japan is what the world needs in 2020
Well, I am not sure what that final match was supposed to be ... but I defer to the Irish when it comes to identifying bombs.
RIP Terry Funk.
Thanks for another great review, lads! I was trying to put my finger on why I disliked this ppv so much, then it was summed up perfectly by V1 around 1:03. Gimme neon clad wrestlers who can actually go... and hilarious promos. You can have all the blood and barbed wire bats. Still, I'll watch this review at least three times like every osw review episode.
