IT WASN'T just Velvet. I saw a post where they author was detailing a article in a UK wrestling Mag that stated ALL TNA Divas where making $300 then some got raises to $600 so if they where to do ALL 64 events (IF at $600) They would make a max of around 38,400 a year. Two former WWE divas where making over 100k a year right in the door...what the actual hell is that?! I was working Walmart at this time during school and made at least 29-30 myself. That is insane.

Best thing about this channel is the fanbase. I hardly EVER see any negativity in the fandom tbh. Love the lads and have been a loyal fan for many many years. WHEN YOU'RE OSW, YOURE OS DUB FO LYFE
From the very first episode and 'Paul, Paul I can't feel my legs' to Respecckk it's been a fantastic 12 years. Just an update. Last year during your 'All out' C.M Punk explosion review I detailed that I'd been in hospital with a Bowel adhesion, borderline kidney failure (12% function) etc. Well fast forward and I've been in hospital another 8 times. Severe dehydration; pneumonia; Sepsis; stints under ICU; collapsing frequently and a lowest recorded Blood pressure of 37/12 (I shit ye not)! Been kept sane by my wife, my family and friends and your brilliant video arcs. Been through them all multiple times whilst in hospital and recovering. Thank you so much lads.
Congratulations on 12 years of producing the best prowrestling podcast in the game. OSW isn't just my favorite podcast, but one of my favorite things in all media.
Oh please do 2007 October 4th iMPACT. (It was the first two hour iMPACT ("DOUBLE THE ACTION!") show and it was intentionally hyped to the moon, stuffed with action from the first minute to the last(some of it good quality, some of it hilariously bad) and had a really cool (if I recall correctly 8-man) tag team match for the main event).
The memory lane we’re going to be walking down. It’s gonna be great. Black snow is gonna be in the OSW hall of fame I guarantee it “ODB got them handprints on the back of her OOHLAAAHH”
I would love to see a retrospective of the TNA Legends title with all name changes and shitty title holders(Robbie E, heel Suit wearing Eric Young and Devon) plus I had so much excitement for that title only for that to end a couple of reigns in 😂
@@dolandarkxgrandayy6953 I thought Young fished the old TNA Title out of the trash and ran around with that during his "mentally impaired" gimmick. It was after Heel Hardy changed the design.
Wow V1 was still playing Raw on XBOX when this was recorded. Sweet Zombie Linda was just a twinkle in his eye. I wonder how many recordings they have in the can now.
You do know you can play raw on Xbox right now right? Like RIGHT NOW… you can do that while watching this video… It’s very important to me that you know that…
@@planescaped aaaaaah I see. Admittedly that does make a lot more sense than him believing this video was recorded in 2007. Apologies, I was suuuuuuuper stoned when I was watching this 🤣🤣🤣
Storm was definitely there on the first show, teaming with Psychosis to lose to the Johnsons. And then I think the week after, he was teaming with Harris to unofficially form AMW
Had a long rough day at work and came home exhausted. Getting this notification was exactly what I needed to perk myself up. Many thanks as always to OSW review.
We do love being bellowed at by seagulls in Dublin and Meath, this is true. Adding Luger getting hit with moves to the "Cross The Line" song. I smell comedy!
Daivari and his brother Ariya Daivari did go to Saudi Arabia! They cut a pro Iran promo at The Greatest Royal Rumble and were booed out the building. Ariya has done interviews since saying he got death threats for it
okay velvet wasnt amazing but 20k a year in 08 was still worse than minimum wage, she could hardly pay for a 1 bedroom apartment with utilities unless it was in s8 housing in the middle of crackville, even if she was on the road often it doesnt mean she doesnt deserve a decent place to crash here and there, that hardly would giveher a couple nights at a mid level hotel, that info made me sick. that is atrocious! she deserved so much more than that. regardless of her skill. i made more a night delivering pizzas in 08, being 15/16. that sure fkn humbled me there.i hope things paid out for her in the end. anyone doing this kinda work desevres a far income. damn that ventura and him trying to unionize! those cheapskates! PAY YOUR TAXES
I agree, it's embarrassingly little. TNA were getting away with robbery. I think their reasoning is they bulk tape, so you can work lots of indies and command more $$. It's sobering considering we have such an idealised vision of wrestlers, they're superstars!
Oh yeah the Knockouts were horribly paid, all of them had second jobs, even when the division was one of their big draws the women weren't getting well compensated.
Gillberg actually could wrestle, was a great comedic jobber and didn’t lose to a door at least twice. Gill could do the job Goldberg dropped the ball every single time.
Congrats on 12 years boys! I came across your videos about 3 years in and have been a huge fan ever since! You guys are the best in the business (much respect…respect). You’ve provided a lot of laughs during tough times and I’m forever grateful! Cheers!
Out of the blue? Lol they announced it and talked about it on UA-cam, Patreon, and probably every other platform for the past 2 weeks. Do you not know what “out of the blue” means? 😂😂😂
Very appropriate for the Stinger - when Sting was getting into the ring, one of the guitars up on the wall was a Mattias Jabs (from Scorpions) guitar (it's the white one with the black stripes)
Oh man, I've had a few pints myself and couldn't wait so here I am. Cheers fellas, thank you so much for all the great content. Legit top tier youtube channels of all time.
The time and effort that goes into these videos and the hours/days worth of entertainment you chaps provide deserves great reward. Love this channel, thank you lads
It always bothered me that TNA put the best women's wrestler at the time in a burka and made her talk that way, but apparently Melissa Anderson didn't mind the easy bump free paycheck so good for her I guess. Dutch Mantel had sone good ideas, Riasha Sied or whatever was not one of them.
When you guys mentioned Savio I was thinking to myself "Did they watch Backlash?" He got such a huge pop it was ridiculous 😂. Love you lads enjoying all your work!
"I am a Scottish Amish American that lives in Indiana. Since the store employees are OSW Marks like me, I shall travel there before I go drum barefoot and have me a fancy fiddleboo afterwards."
I'm not betting on it but I believe Iran and Saudi had broken relations for a long while, so I don't think there'd be much love for Sheik Abdul Bashir over there either.
Fun Fact: The song "The Game" from Disturbed has a connection to pro wrestling, too as Lacey used it as her theme in ROH. But.. every second indy wrestler had a Disturbed song as their theme. 🤣
@OSW Review HD You’re correct Jay with Nappanee pronunciation. I marked seeing home state mentioned. Watching rest of the review now. Always good way to wrap up my weekend with a new review from the boys
13:58 Big Sexy Kevin Nash has never given a fuck. He just slowly became less subtle about it with time. Though honestly his work with TNA is sort of heartwarming, because the ridiculousness of the company wins him over (particularly the charms of Alex Shelley and the X Division) and even works to dispel a little bit of his apathy and cynicism (only a bit, mind).
Congratulations to you all. You have created a wonderfully entertaining show. It's become a go-to comfort show, especially the Dungeon of Doom and the 1987-1989 WWE episodes. You guys have given me a real appreciation for wrestlers I had taken for granted (John Tenta is AMAZING) and have led me to think differently about pro wrestling in general. Thanks!
I remember as a kid, I made a bebo page called WhoIsSuicide or something once the vignette started. I was dying to find out more. God damn I was a Mark
6. Paul “PAAAAAUUUUUUULLLLLL” Roma - whether it was as a Young Stallion, or in “Power and Glory” (underrated heel tag team, with an awesome finisher), or as the worst Horseman ever, he looked like he was a Greek god 5. Zeus - Big huge jacked up dude who hated being paid to be beaten in a movie so much that he showed up in the “real world” to get his revenge on Hulk Hogan…who was also getting paid to beat another actor to win in a movie script…but as a different character; you can’t tell me that his head twist move didn’t scare you that he may have killed Hogan 4. The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers - “All American Boys” is a guilty pleasure, along with small USA flags to endear themselves to the American fans; could stall and hug each other and make you hate them even before they do anything dastardly to their opponent. 3. Prince Iaukea - He beat William Regal for the TV title, and then beat Rey Misterio Jr in two consecutive PPVs; only looking back on things now do you realise that there was another guy at the time making a splash as a young wrestler with Samoan heritage - Rocky Johnson - and that perhaps this was WCW’s version of that gimmick. 2. Lance Storm - His proud Canadian gimmick in WCW was off-the-charts good; watch his match at New Blood Rising and see the crowd’s reaction for him; Also, the stickers on the title belts actually looked really cool, unlike with GFW / Impact! 1. BOTTOM BOY: Ahmed Johnson - Was pulling out the “big guy jumping over the top rope” schtick before Undertaker did it; only wrestler that I can think of who could pull off the “wrist tape / elbow pad / bicep tape / thigh pad / knee pad” ensemble; beat Booker T for the letter T.
Serpentico could have longevity because when he needs a gimmick change he can be Sir Pentico, which is just the smug rich guy Ted DiBiase gimmick but still wearing a snake themed mask above the (hopefully fitted) suit.
Enough body slams for years. Enough powerbombs for decades. Enough promo power for generations. Its Booker T! Highly undertrated entertaining force Vince shat the bed with. Wish he was doing more in the fed, but he was a great at doing his thing in TNA.
Much RESPECKKKKK for 12 years, boys! Here's to at least 12 more

IT WASN'T just Velvet. I saw a post where they author was detailing a article in a UK wrestling Mag that stated ALL TNA Divas where making $300 then some got raises to $600 so if they where to do ALL 64 events (IF at $600) They would make a max of around 38,400 a year. Two former WWE divas where making over 100k a year right in the door...what the actual hell is that?! I was working Walmart at this time during school and made at least 29-30 myself. That is insane. That is insane. Those girls had some real talent and was fun to watch. $300 at that time?! I was making 500 cutting wood for pallets ffs! National TV wrestling stars?
On Jarrett's podcast he was asked "Why did the MEM stop?".....His response: Dixie wanted to end it because she didn't enjoy it
Sounds very much like her.
To be fair, by June 2009 it had kind of ran its course and replacing Sting with Joe wasn’t the right way to put some life into it
Sounds about right lol
To be fair MEM was winding down and as Dixie would agree I'm sure TNA would stomach it's way through IMMORTAL and then ACES&8's to get to *EVERYONE'S* favorite TNA stable DIXIELAND....but J-E-DOUBLE FF J-E-DOUBLE RR-E-DOUBLE TT would tell you what came next is the real #1...2015's DOUBLE J's return as part of.... *GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING*

Congratulations on 12 years of producing the best prowrestling podcast in the game. OSW isn't just my favorite podcast, but one of my favorite things in all media.
"Don't cut MY correction of YOU!"
OOC is all about competition, baby.
My 5 year old son is laughing hysterically at ‘RESPECKKK’ and keeps asking me to replay it.
To your five year old: RESPEKKKK! 😀

That deranged picture of Kurt Angle outrunning the police is amazing.

Man, the TNA Legends belt. What a pittance! I can't wait for the retrospective.
That fucker OOC stealing the quote of the year already with his "I was only looking from the waist down" line
I don't know, The "severe burns, no time off" from last show was pretty good too
52:28 Dee Reynolds attempting a Middle Eastern accent
12 years of awesome content!!
Good boy! The best boy because you keep Crash Holly out of the stable
"12 Years in the Making" 🤣
Respeckkkk ! glad to see some Taylor Wilde appreciation . Thank you boys!
BICYCLE BICYCLE
Christy Hemme's finisher looks like it would hurt Christy Hemme more than her opponents.
I love a good Pearl Harboring from the front!

Congrats on 12 years, boys! Youse deserve all the RESPEEEEEKK
This venue is really cool. I love the little touch of the announce table being a blackjack table.

Dog abyss is now my sleep paralysis demon. Thanks boys!
As per Bashir, Iranians are generally not admitted into Saudi Arabia.
Props to Christy Hemme for doing a Fanny Clit-Split Leg drop

Great timing on the Savio Vega reference! He got a monster pop at Backlash!
Christian is dressed as 2008 as possible.
My boy stable is mostly the osw lads
Daivari and his brother Ariya Daivari did go to Saudi Arabia! They cut a pro Iran promo at The Greatest Royal Rumble and were booed out the building. Ariya has done interviews since saying he got death threats for it
Why didn't TNA give Davari a finisher called the suicide bomb? They already gave him the plane crash intro
Or when he's Pearl Harboring someone they should call it WTCing.
You would've fared so well in the TNA booking team!
@@OSW Hire me Dixie 😂
That could've been his tag team with Suicide.
I love how TNA covered the logos on the lighter fluid bottle Blue Peter style

Sometimes, I can hear V1 on the wind exclaiming, "Matt Bentley."
Money, power, respect, is the key to life. Money, power, respect, gotcha eating right. Money, power respect! I loved bad boy records back in the day!

Oh yeah the Knockouts were horribly paid, all of them had second jobs, even when the division was one of their big draws the women weren't getting well compensated.
Hehe it’s funny that Saeed called Taylor an American when she’s actually a Canadian
Love hearing OOC say christian... Chis-Ti-an
That cover of the sound of silence is to the original as gillberg is to goldberg
Gillberg actually could wrestle, was a great comedic jobber and didn’t lose to a door at least twice. Gill could do the job Goldberg dropped the ball every single time.
"Silence, swine! Harrrrrrrrrr many times am I going to rrrrrrrrrroll my Rs?"
I could see myself in the crowd many of times!! that was an awesome show live. I wish they would've done more from that place.

The Los Boricuas entrance was quite the anti pop song...until Backlash 23
The time and effort that goes into these videos and the hours/days worth of entertainment you chaps provide deserves great reward. Love this channel, thank you lads

Honestly think this has my favourite OSW intro since the Bo'Jack Brutus one. Absolutely superb episode again lads, pissing myself.
It always bothered me that TNA put the best women's wrestler at the time in a burka and made her talk that way, but apparently Melissa Anderson didn't mind the easy bump free paycheck so good for her I guess.

When you guys mentioned Savio I was thinking to myself "Did they watch Backlash?" He got such a huge pop it was ridiculous 😂. Love you lads enjoying all your work!
I love that the some of the wrestlers are actually embracing their OSW lore. It warms my heart. ❤
"I am a Scottish Amish American that lives in Indiana. Since the store employees are OSW Marks like me, I shall travel there before I go drum barefoot and have me a fancy fiddleboo afterwards."
I'm not betting on it but I believe Iran and Saudi had broken relations for a long while, so I don't think there'd be much love for Sheik Abdul Bashir over there either.
The other women in TNA should have refused to work with Christy Hemme. That pay discrepancy is absolutely outrageous.
Holy shit, Disturbed! I loved them when I was a teenager! 52:04
Fun Fact:
The song "The Game" from Disturbed has a connection to pro wrestling, too as Lacey used it as her theme in ROH. But.. every second indy wrestler had a Disturbed song as their theme. 🤣

I was sure that V1 was going to transition into Perry Saturn’s Blue Oyster Club theme when doing his go of Sting’s WCW theme! 😂😂
Happy Anniversary, fellas. Thank you for keeping us entertained all these years. Can of Coke to ya's.
