I have a strong feeling that freedfg doesn't know HOW MUCH MUCHISMO Razor has He has enough to have it OOZING out of him and he's still Razor Ramon 1 arm or two, the Razor's Edge is coming
I don't _think_ I've ever commented this, but adding, "these t-shirts are too tight too, Billy," to the inspirational Lex montage is one of the greatest pieces of comedic editing in the history of... anything.
How’s his skill, it’s not bad Make sure you don’t make fun of his dad Sharpshooter, it’s not loose Second hart, behind Bruce Elbow drop, not the worst Turnbuckle, always chest first
Where did this ridiculously awesome channel come from and how have I missed it all these years??? Ive been on a binge of OSW shows. Just excellent fellas. Thanks!
@bigevilworldwide1 it was only because he left his prescription for painkillers in his home in England accidentally Same thing happened to Rey Mysterio one time It wasn't steroids or anything like that
@@LessThan-wr1nr in fairness, there's heel, then there's HEEL Jericho and Regal are usually heels that have comedic elements to them, or at least heels that you can laugh at when they get what's coming to them; but they also had that one "serious heel" gimmick where their goal was to make you fucking despise them (King Regal, Trunks Jericho)
1:02:24 - Daddy spent sister's shoe money on King of the Ring tickets. He said it would be worth it because there was "no way in heck that Hulk Hogan will ever lose in Dayton." He beat mom in frustration when we got home, stomped sister's bare feet, and tomahawk chopped me across my chest. Worst night of my life.
Subtle thing here lads, but at 1:07:50 Hogan would usually do a bicep pose when talking about "the largest arms in the world" but here he does a tricep pose instead in which you can kind of hide your lack of muscle by smooshing your arm against your torso making it look bigger. Never seen him do that previously and I'm sure he was very aware of his diminished stature.
Actually Steve's a bit behind the times, after more recent re-analysis the Brontosaurus is actually it's own separate genus from the Apatosaurus, and thus actually does exist.
Mate, I've literally accidentally found fossils myself. I live near a beach in the south of England, spend a bit of time searching like I did as a kid and you'll find a ton of fossils. Dinosaur fossils among them
At 54:00, Jay says he just watched it with his mom. That's really sad, considering she passed just a few months later. RIP to the lady, and my condolences to Jay.

Perfect wasn't injured here. Such a great match, god I miss Curt Hennig.
I was at this event live. I remember being scared as hell when the smoking gunns come out for their entrance because I thought that they shot real bullets. LOL!!! My dad took me & my brothers & sisters & we had to leave after the 8 man tag. Before the show started Macho man got on the house mic & encouraged the crowd to chant "1 2 3" at Razor when he came out. Great memories.

Couple of reasons: 1.) Perfect and Bret were both faces, and the industry-wide policy at the time was that big matches had to be between heel and face unless it was to give one of the faces a rub (which Perfect didn’t need) 2.) As a face, they didn’t want Perfect taking Bam Bam’s place as being “skipped” directly to the finals
@@Decetop "the industry-wide policy at the time was that big matches had to be between heel and face". The main event was originally supposed to be Bret vs Hogan (both faces), but Hogan being Hogan wouldn't play ball so it was changed to Yoko vs Hogan instead. Less than a year before Savage vs Warrior for the title, both faces and both didn't need a rub, but I do disagree with Perfect not needing the rub, he was never pushed as a main eventer even though he was miles better than most. The second reason being the skip directly to the finals? They wouldn't have had to book Perfect that way since he had much better conditioning than Bam Bam's and wouldn't gas out.
All things aside I think this order was great for the story. They needed Razor to batter Bret and Perfect to exhaust him before a final match. In short I think he gained more from winning the finals after a match like that from Perfect. Now people will remember Perfects match and the finals, not just the finals. A huge push for The Hitman.

I never understood why Hogan needed Jimmy Hart as a manager. Managers are usually needed for wrestlers who aren't good at cutting promos (or in Yoko's case, a manager is needed as a translator, since his gimmick is a Japanese sumo wrestler who doesn't speak much English). But one of Hogan's strengths was his promos, so why did he even need Jimmy Hart in the first place? Also, "There's children crying!" Cut to several shots of children not crying. 😃
Jimmy Hart was used more like Hulk Hogan’s cheerleader then manager still to this day Jimmy will do anything for Hogan I’m hoping to take a trip to Tampa soon to have a beer at Jimmy Hart’s Hall Of Fame Bar and Tiki Deck and hopeful get to meet and talk to Jimmy
When Brutus the Barber Beefcake returned, yet again, to the WWF (after he returned in 1993, where he left in 1992, after his last 'Barber Shop' segment, which was owing to Sid Justice, who'd now turned heel, wrecking it) [he did these 'Barber Shop' interview segments, as of the summer of 1991, one year after his parasailing accident, where he had to take a break from wrestling], his parasailing accident is what made him have to wear a mask, when he returned to wrestling, in 1993, where he wrestled Ted DiBiase. This is where Jimmy Hart's face turn came in (yes, Jimmy Hart becoming a face manager, after so many years of being a heel manager) - when IRS (Ted DiBiase's new tag team partner, since April 1992's WrestleMania VIII, where they formed the new tag team 'Money Incorporated') [and after Ted DiBiase was disqualified, hence Brutus won the match, after Money Inc. double-teamed him] hit Brutus's face, with his (IRS's) briefcase, Jimmy Hart (who was Money Inc's manager, until now) became horrified at the sight of this, thinking his team had gone too far (hence he was no longer the manager of Money Incorporated, and now enemies with both Ted DiBiase and IRS) [and hence their match at WrestleMania IX, for the tag team titles, against Brutus the Barber Beefcake, and his new tag team partner - that racist, as the new formed team 'the Mega Maniacs', which Jimmy Hart now managed]. I pray this answers your question.
@@shermanvermin76 I appreciate the explanation, but I didn't really need the Wikipedia page about the kayfabe reasons for Jimmy becoming Hogan's manager. It just seemed unnecessary for someone like Hogan to have a manager at all. He didn't need one to talk for him and get him over, which is the primary existence of managers in wrestling. He was HULK HOGAN, the most over wrestler of the 80's and 90's and whose promos were so good that other wrestlers would mimic him ("Let me tell ya somethin', Mean Gene...!"). For those reasons alone, having Jimmy as his manager seemed utterly redundant. If they wanted to give Beefer a manager, that's fine. He was never very over, so giving him a manager might help lend him some extra clout. But Hogan absolutely didn't need one.
@@glennwelsh9784 To your point, managers with babyfaces is completely pointless. The whole idea of a manager in wrestling is to cheat and help their guy win, otherwise he's just a glorified cheerleader out there.
I can't remember if this ever happened, but in theory it could function as an easy way for hogan to show his ass without actually losing- he can lose matches via count out or dq because he's saving jimmy from a heel, jimmy can be used against him as a bargaining chip, and if jimmy gets hurt hogan c an take the spotlight to be sad and swear revenge.
@@godzillainspace5922 I can tell you that I most certainly don't know that it's definitely not a Shadman picture. Also it's absolutely not called "Bonus Ravens", so don't Google that.
If this season is Lex's entire run then it will capture everything apart from the last two months of Diesel's run as champ. Lex last appears at Summerslam 95, Diesel drops "the trinket" at Survivor Series 95.
Jerry revealed on the WWE collectors show that they did on A&E that the king of the Ring crown was actually one of his own crowns that they could use to smash!
Another fantastic episode lads! I am so glad I found you guys, it's always awesome and hype whenever I see that you boys uploaded a new episode! Keep rocking on fellas!
That Mr Perfect towel trow was one of the most beautiful things i have seen in wrestling. Absolutely Perfect. It tops everything iwe seen in wrestling this year... Exept Jericho showing up in Japan with out any one knowing.
Yet another wrestler we've lost (and, of course, died too young) - I know it was a different sort of drugs that Mr. Perfect died from, but I just like to see steroids as the sort of drugs most wrestlers die so young from (I've an idea steroids are what caused Hercules Hernandez to die so young, only in his 40s, in early March 2004). I know Jim Neidhart died from a fall (he was in his early 60s, when he died, hence wasn't that old), but *he* possibly took steroids, which led to the fall he died from (even if he had the sense to never take steroids, it was possibly that bad man - Vince McMahon - who everyone hates - who got him onto them). This merely shows the sort of person Vince McMahon is. Oh, and I'm aware steroids are what Big Boss Man died from (especially as he was very young - only in his early 40s).
It's amazing how 6 years ago you said you liked the idea of the KOTR tournament winner getting a world title match AND you mentioned doing it at a non-US PPV show. And now both have come true 😂
Funny how Razor took that jab at Perfect's mom since they both tagged together in the AWA. If they weren't buddies in real life, that probably would've been fighting words.
Going to have to disagree with OOC at 7:49. In pertinence to Boy eligibility, if you need an elderly black woman to get you over, you’re doing something _right_ .
I’m from the far future. He’s now wrestling for Android Entertainment Wrestling! It’s basically him being the only human against robots, and it’s hosted by Mick Foley.
Major underappreciated points to Hebner for his leap over the Figure 4 at 57:29. Nice to know that the two top pros in the company get the other top pro to work with.
after seeing wwf wrestlers for years in magazines, toylines, sticker albums etc, this was my first ppv as a 9 year old, and I was so hurt that hulk hogan basically just came back and lost! I love the hulkster and I was so much looking forward to this osw episode! thank you!
And now *both* wrestlers (Bam Bam Bigelow AND Mabel) are deceased (both died young, sadly, especially where the former died from steroids, which are drugs; the latter would have died from his weight, which would be how the likes of Paul Bearer died, and definitely how Andre the Giant died) [Paul Bearer definitely did die very young].
I was never really a fan of old school wrestling and overall not a big fan of the new generation era. But the OSW gang selling Perfect VS Bret made me see why it was so damn good. You don't see those little things of psychology and character development anymore. Mr. Perfect is damn good... Shame they never got to showcase his son like this.
39:08 hello from the future, it went well for Swagger submission win in about 3 minutes of the first round. He screamed "we the people" afterwords which was awesome.
1:00:31 That right there is how you do a show of respect spot after a match, handshake, pat on the back, done, imagine if Hogan did it, he’d be there celebrating longer than Bret, or if it was like a woman’s match nowadays where they just hug at the end and also both celebrate for a stupidly long time.
The road to 100 episodes has been super exciting, hilarious, and absolutely perfect. Keep up the stupendous work! Looking forward to a wcw/nwo series before the 100th.
I think it's more that other than Chicago the northern Midwest has a weird sub-class of city, Giant-cities-the-rest-of-the-state-buries-due-to-shame, been trying to bury Milwaukee for years and it just won't stay in the damn ground
Wait a fucking minute... "Hulk Hogan, Hulkster, & Hulkamania are trademarks of Marvel Comics Group" Oh my god... THE HULKSTER'S GOING OVER THANOS, BROTHERJACKDUDE!
This is the first time I've seen Bret Hart wrestle Curt Henning, and it's just absolutely mesmerizing watching these two masters of the craft work together. Just creating this momentum, sprinkling in these subtle little touches that uphold their characters, their psychology, there's an ever-present tension of a heel turn from Perfect (sold beautifully by Heenan), and just phenomenal ring work by both men. 11/10. Also love the Killing Joke artwork, and I say that as someone who hates Killing Joke.
The "A" City in Ohio would be a toss up between Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The survivor series began in Richfield, Ohio which is a village between both Cleveland and Akron.
That shot at 25:12 bring back so many memories. "Back in the day" you could rush the aisles and security didn't do a thing. I had some great seats where at every pin attempt, I and those around me would start creeping for the aisle. I almost got flipped over the barricade once when Savio Vega gave the girl next to me a hug.
Damn, I love that Bret Hart Vs Curt Hennig KOTR match so much! Coincidentally, I just rewatched that match for the first time in years this past weekend. That match still holds up today. CLASSIC!!!
When I was in Atlanta in 2007, I went to a wrestling training school called WWA4 and I was trained by Mr. Hughes. Those few months were awesome. I even met the future Dexter Lumis(Sam Shaw). I'm so happy that he's in WWE NXT.

Jimmy Hart was used more like Hulk Hogan’s cheerleader then manager still to this day Jimmy will do anything for Hogan I’m hoping to take a trip to Tampa soon to have a beer at Jimmy Hart’s Hall Of Fame Bar and Tiki Deck and hopeful get to meet and talk to Jimmy
When Brutus the Barber Beefcake returned, yet again, to the WWF (after he returned in 1993, where he left in 1992, after his last 'Barber Shop' segment, which was owing to Sid Justice, who'd now turned heel, wrecking it) [he did these 'Barber Shop' interview segments, as of the summer of 1991, one year after his parasailing accident, where he had to take a break from wrestling], his parasailing accident is what made him have to wear a mask, when he returned to wrestling, in 1993, where he wrestled Ted DiBiase.
This is where Jimmy Hart's face turn came in (yes, Jimmy Hart becoming a face manager, after so many years of being a heel manager) - when IRS (Ted DiBiase's new tag team partner, since April 1992's WrestleMania VIII, where they formed the new tag team 'Money Incorporated') [and after Ted DiBiase was disqualified, hence Brutus won the match, after Money Inc. double-teamed him] hit Brutus's face, with his (IRS's) briefcase, Jimmy Hart (who was Money Inc's manager, until now) became horrified at the sight of this, thinking his team had gone too far (hence he was no longer the manager of Money Incorporated, and now enemies with both Ted DiBiase and IRS) [and hence their match at WrestleMania IX, for the tag team titles, against Brutus the Barber Beefcake, and his new tag team partner - that racist, as the new formed team 'the Mega Maniacs', which Jimmy Hart now managed].
I pray this answers your question.
@@shermanvermin76 I appreciate the explanation, but I didn't really need the Wikipedia page about the kayfabe reasons for Jimmy becoming Hogan's manager. It just seemed unnecessary for someone like Hogan to have a manager at all. He didn't need one to talk for him and get him over, which is the primary existence of managers in wrestling. He was HULK HOGAN, the most over wrestler of the 80's and 90's and whose promos were so good that other wrestlers would mimic him ("Let me tell ya somethin', Mean Gene...!"). For those reasons alone, having Jimmy as his manager seemed utterly redundant. If they wanted to give Beefer a manager, that's fine. He was never very over, so giving him a manager might help lend him some extra clout. But Hogan absolutely didn't need one.
@@glennwelsh9784 To your point, managers with babyfaces is completely pointless. The whole idea of a manager in wrestling is to cheat and help their guy win, otherwise he's just a glorified cheerleader out there.
I can't remember if this ever happened, but in theory it could function as an easy way for hogan to show his ass without actually losing- he can lose matches via count out or dq because he's saving jimmy from a heel, jimmy can be used against him as a bargaining chip, and if jimmy gets hurt hogan c an take the spotlight to be sad and swear revenge.
If this were TNA, would V1's pokemon be called "EeVee 2.0"
omg yes haha!
Gonna need that sauce on your profile pic brutha

Can we have a Big Daddy Cool Diesel championship saga? (All the PPVs he was champion) They were memorably bad
tinotica I second this proposal.
If this season is Lex's entire run then it will capture everything apart from the last two months of Diesel's run as champ. Lex last appears at Summerslam 95, Diesel drops "the trinket" at Survivor Series 95.
Sam Hayden think this is going until Summerslam 93, the culmination of The Lex Express storyline.
god no

OSW, I am from the future and wanted to tell you Jack Swagger lost his MMA debut due to Jim Duggan interference. No one saw that coming either
It's the actual future, he's 2 and 0 at present for those curious.
I’m from the future future future and he and Duggan had the first MMA match that ended in double DQ and brawl to the back
Stuck in hospital my family can’t come thanks for this guys appreciate it
Syn Dex feel better!
Hang in there man
Thank you
Gotta love Henan’s impression of M. Bison “YESSS... YESSS...”
Just found out about you guys recently and Jesus this is gooooooood stuff. You guys are awesome.
Bearbw Bud! Have fun marathoning the whole OSW library! It’s well worth it!
Their Wrestlemania IX review is my favorite.
Welcome.
26:49 "This right here is peak Mr. Hughes" Love the laugh afterward.
Jerry revealed on the WWE collectors show that they did on A&E that the king of the Ring crown was actually one of his own crowns that they could use to smash!
Another fantastic episode lads! I am so glad I found you guys, it's always awesome and hype whenever I see that you boys uploaded a new episode!
Keep rocking on fellas!
That Mr Perfect towel trow was one of the most beautiful things i have seen in wrestling. Absolutely Perfect. It tops everything iwe seen in wrestling this year... Exept Jericho showing up in Japan with out any one knowing.
Yet another wrestler we've lost (and, of course, died too young) - I know it was a different sort of drugs that Mr. Perfect died from, but I just like to see steroids as the sort of drugs most wrestlers die so young from (I've an idea steroids are what caused Hercules Hernandez to die so young, only in his 40s, in early March 2004).
I know Jim Neidhart died from a fall (he was in his early 60s, when he died, hence wasn't that old), but *he* possibly took steroids, which led to the fall he died from (even if he had the sense to never take steroids, it was possibly that bad man - Vince McMahon - who everyone hates - who got him onto them). This merely shows the sort of person Vince McMahon is. Oh, and I'm aware steroids are what Big Boss Man died from (especially as he was very young - only in his early 40s).
Murica may have nuked us in 44, but we nuked America in 93. - Quote from the Japanese camera makers.
OSW Review 76 better than Fallout 76
james brooking solider osw
@u wot m8 Underrated comment. :D
Leprosy is better than fallout 76!!
james brooking OSW Is always Better
Stepping in dog shit with no shoes on is better than Fallout 76.
Curt Hennig should've been a World champ. Curt really was perfect.
I live in Ohio. Columbus is the capital, Cincinnati is the Queen city and Cleveland is the Mistake by the Lake!
so when are you moving to South Carolina?
It's amazing how 6 years ago you said you liked the idea of the KOTR tournament winner getting a world title match AND you mentioned doing it at a non-US PPV show. And now both have come true 😂
Funny how Razor took that jab at Perfect's mom since they both tagged together in the AWA. If they weren't buddies in real life, that probably would've been fighting words.
Going to have to disagree with OOC at 7:49.
In pertinence to Boy eligibility, if you need an elderly black woman to get you over, you’re doing something _right_ .
Momma Benjamin?
5:02 doesn’t even store the pelt on his horse. He skinned the fox just to scare the child. V1, you making kids cry brah?!
please do more videos i literally watch these every night. we need more reviews, ive already seen all of them like 30 times.
Hey, it's the future. Have I got some news for you about Jack Swagger! He's undefeated in MMA and is wrastling for AEW!
Alabama Entertainment Wrestling? man, he's really fell far.
I’m from the far future. He’s now wrestling for Android Entertainment Wrestling! It’s basically him being the only human against robots, and it’s hosted by Mick Foley.
@@robertpeacock894 So he becomes RAX Coswell from Eternal Champions? Cool🤣
@@peterohlhornjr I appreciate this reference!
I love how this is still going 😂
Major underappreciated points to Hebner for his leap over the Figure 4 at 57:29. Nice to know that the two top pros in the company get the other top pro to work with.
after seeing wwf wrestlers for years in magazines, toylines, sticker albums etc, this was my first ppv as a 9 year old, and I was so hurt that hulk hogan basically just came back and lost! I love the hulkster and I was so much looking forward to this osw episode! thank you!
Tbf lads, I'd sooner have King bam bam than King Mabel
And now *both* wrestlers (Bam Bam Bigelow AND Mabel) are deceased (both died young, sadly, especially where the former died from steroids, which are drugs; the latter would have died from his weight, which would be how the likes of Paul Bearer died, and definitely how Andre the Giant died) [Paul Bearer definitely did die very young].
William Rice yea, they shit on Bam Bam & his endurance, but he wasnt bad
King Bam Bam could’ve worn a crown of fire
Maybe it would’ve been too much foreshadowing if the crown was made of fire lol
Bam Bam is the top boy in my stable so I would have loved to see him win King of the Ring, though that might disqualify him from being a boy
King Bam Bam could've been amazing! I'm shocked Bamer was never a Hogan opponent!
I was never really a fan of old school wrestling and overall not a big fan of the new generation era. But the OSW gang selling Perfect VS Bret made me see why it was so damn good. You don't see those little things of psychology and character development anymore. Mr. Perfect is damn good... Shame they never got to showcase his son like this.
39:08 hello from the future, it went well for Swagger submission win in about 3 minutes of the first round. He screamed "we the people" afterwords which was awesome.
Mr. Hughes is DEFINITELY in my mate’s boy stable! Him and Adam Bomb.
1:02:43 A face for radio and a voice for newspapers.
24:00 Back then I think he was dubbed the "Lightning Kid" hence the bolt on his outfit and the letter "L" in front of the "kid" on his butt.
Great episode.... In all the years I've been watching OSW, this was the first time I ever wanted to see the show that was covered
1:00:31 That right there is how you do a show of respect spot after a match, handshake, pat on the back, done, imagine if Hogan did it, he’d be there celebrating longer than Bret, or if it was like a woman’s match nowadays where they just hug at the end and also both celebrate for a stupidly long time.
The road to 100 episodes has been super exciting, hilarious, and absolutely perfect. Keep up the stupendous work! Looking forward to a wcw/nwo series before the 100th.
"There is no A City in Ohio."
As someone from Michigan, I can assure you this is true.
Fuck you Xichigan!
As someone from Rhode Island, I can also assure that the statement about no A city in Ohio is true
As someone also from Rhode Island, I can confirm, there is no A City in Ohio.

THE HULKSTER'S GOING OVER THANOS, BROTHERJACKDUDE!
15:55 it's 2023 and wow, that non-intentional prediction came true. A KOTR PPV in Saudi Arabia.
I assure you anything prognostic or vaguely insightful is pure coincidence!
This is the first time I've seen Bret Hart wrestle Curt Henning, and it's just absolutely mesmerizing watching these two masters of the craft work together. Just creating this momentum, sprinkling in these subtle little touches that uphold their characters, their psychology, there's an ever-present tension of a heel turn from Perfect (sold beautifully by Heenan), and just phenomenal ring work by both men. 11/10. Also love the Killing Joke artwork, and I say that as someone who hates Killing Joke.
New OSW episode..... Thanks for the Christmas present guys!
The best thumbnail I've ever seen.
Omg the Hulkamaniac at ringside with his head in his hand and so disappointed at 1hr 30min and 20secs. Lmmfao! 🤣
The "A" City in Ohio would be a toss up between Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland. The survivor series began in Richfield, Ohio which is a village between both Cleveland and Akron.
15:48 - King GUNTHER send his thanks for reminding people of thos idea Jay!'😂
Ironically, while discussing the brontosaurus/ apatosaurus correction, you show a video of a brachiosaurus.
😂😂😂
I hope someone got fired for that blunder
V1 is wrong though: brontosauri & apatosauri are 2 different dinosauri
Ah, good, my drugs have arrived!
35:18 Bam Bam starting with a combat roll. It looks cool
My first impressions: Jimmy Hart without shades & Hogan looking fairly good physically. Wow
That shot at 25:12 bring back so many memories. "Back in the day" you could rush the aisles and security didn't do a thing. I had some great seats where at every pin attempt, I and those around me would start creeping for the aisle. I almost got flipped over the barricade once when Savio Vega gave the girl next to me a hug.
I never clicked on something so fast I'm feeling depressed hopefully this will make me feel better
Hope you feel better dude ❤️
Hang in mate. OSW will make you feel better. All the best to you!
You're really not alone bro, hope you feel good after the video
Thanks guys!
Hope you get better, brah!

Damn, I love that Bret Hart Vs Curt Hennig KOTR match so much! Coincidentally, I just rewatched that match for the first time in years this past weekend. That match still holds up today. CLASSIC!!!
Hell ya welcome back boys
Welcome back boys! Killer episode!
When I was in Atlanta in 2007, I went to a wrestling training school called WWA4 and I was trained by Mr. Hughes. Those few months were awesome. I even met the future Dexter Lumis(Sam Shaw). I'm so happy that he's in WWE NXT.
