    As a father of 4 kids, you don't get gifts so much, because your gifts are watching your kids open up all the things they have been wanting for months. Then when Christmas day comes, rather than sitting back and relaxing, you get to put various gifts together. However, the feelings I had of anticipation all day waiting for this episode to drop, it brought me back to Christmases gone past waiting to open the Nes, Snes and N64. It's a feeling, I haven't felt in years. Thanks osw

    About Savage being the catalyst for the split of the nWo: That was actually how it started in 98 with the Wolfpac. It was Savage who became less and less controllable and even at one point punched out Bischoff during a segment. Everything looked like Savage would lead the Wolfpac, but then somehow Nash completely took over his storyline and it was all about him and Hogan all of a sudden, with Savage being pushed to the side as just one of Nash's minions in the Wolfpac. I can't remember if Macho got injured or what happened for him to lose this storyline, but I was quite pissed about it.

    This feels like a proper Christmas present!! Can't really describe how much your videos make me laugh. I'm from Dublin but now live in Australia and the humour in OSW Review cracks me up like nothing else. I voted for 'seasons beatings' as shamefully the 'new gen' era was my most committed time to wrestling, however you guys make anything entertaining. During the depths of covid lockdown I felt nostalgic and looked up Wrestlemania 6 to watch Hogan/Warrior and found OSW by accident. It was so fucking weird to hear wrestling being commentated by 3 Dublin lads. I was in stitches immediately. Made me less homesick!

    Theory actually bounced back well from that burial... it seems like Trips wanted to bring him all the way down to the bottom and build him back up from there, to wash away the stink of McMahon. He didn't look out of place at all in the recent Triple Threat at the Pay-Per-View with two huge Stars. I think he's going places.

      @@elltell1990 Nah it looks bad whatever way you look at it, no lover of Vince or his horrific booking for over 20 years but it's just biased giving any kind of credit to that shit, having him cash in on a mid card title during an open fucking challenge was the most hilariously stupid thing I've seen in wrestling for YEARS. Nobody gets any credit for anything there, even his redemption afterwards because there's every chance they only did that because of the backlash rather than it being some master plan. Even with him being booked well afterwards the briefcase gimmick is still dead, which if they were actually getting rid of it is fine...as far as I know though they're not, it's impossibly hard to care about it now, who gives a shit if they cash in on a vulnerable midcarders who are vulnerable anyway...because they're midcarders.

The 8-Bit cards, video game music, the 80's and 90's pop culture references, the intros and endings. The OSW crew are the only across the pond accents that I can enjoy listening to because they're so in touch with Western culture it feels natural and familiar. Every other channel just sounds like a bland BBC nature documentary and I can't do it. I'll die a happy man if I ever get a "winner is you" reply from Jay. Yours truly, an OSW FUCKING MARK!

    Was thinking about the point brought up at around 1:01:38 with the nwo ignoring lower card belts, and I think that turned out to be a big positive. Those guys got to shine on their own without dealing with every match ending on a screwy finish, or in the rare time that they would've beat an nwo member, it would've ended with a post match beat down and spray painting. We ended up getting a ton of awesome matches and feuds in the cruiserweight division (with Jericho vs Malenko being peak) and we got to see the rise of Booker T as a singles star, which started with his TV title reigns.
