46:13. Jay giving out about Sable reminds me of what Cornette once said: “I dont know what anyone got from putting a live mic infront of her but it should have been 3-5 years.”
Every now and then, it's fun to come back and revisit V1's rant about Becky's debut and think about how things went so incredibly well for her despite that horrific introduction to WWE.
This was the first OSW ep i ever saw, stumbled upon it and was hooked by the JBL impressions, skipped forward randomly just to land on Boy Stable chat... a winner was me.
Good, I'm not alone. Jackie was more attractive than most around that time I thought. She was also usually a better wrestler too, though that bar was admittedly low for that era.
Jacqueline was so under appreciated and a versatile performer. She was doing embarrassing angles down in memphis so I can see why she didn't care to bare it all.

Thanks for another great review brahs! Happy Days are always here when you do these reviews as I am recovering in the hospital at the moment and watching and listening to you guys is helping out very much
*plays 2nd **_Happy Days_** theme & inserts the OSW guys into the record backdrop in place of the sitcom's cast* So OSW is Deuce & Domino (the 1950's greaser gimmick used by the Smackdown tandem in the mid '00s)?
Watching this back in 2022, its amazing how many bits all came from this one episode. Maybe one of my favorite episodes, though the "Damn it D-Lo" towed the line! Huge thanks for this approaching a decade later!
Watching this almost 5 years after it was posted...it's not only hilarious seeing the birth of the "boys stable" discussion, but also the sheer juxtaposition of Becky Lynch during her debut to where she is now...it's amazing.
Mike best sign I saw. Was some time after this show. After Y2J debuts, there was a sign that said something like “Chris Jericho is a fern gussy” no idea what it means. It was someone near the entrance ramp on the right hand side
At a local show, D’Lo made his entrance and I put up my ‘D’Lo stole my bike’ sign He climbed the corner, pointed at me, and said ‘yea! And I ain’t giving it back neither!’ But to be on topic: the best sign I saw was 1 of 2 1) X-PAC...easy in the steroids 2) I don’t even like Times New Roman (in regards to Roman reigns)
I can say with 100% confidence that they gave the heads out at this event. My source - ME! I was at this show and was in the front 6 rows (you can see me in the crowd at one point). Love OSW btw guys. I've been watching it non-stop!
I realize I have no personal investment or involvement in Becky's current stardom. But it's so nice looking back at this episode and hearing V1 talking about an old friend who deserves better, and knowing that she finally got there.
yo i been watchin all these lately. im so glad i found yall. this brings back so many memories because i met a couple these guys before WWF from MCW here in maryland. im from baltimore my grandfather used to take me to events all the time as a kid. Axl Rotten, headbangers, so many dudes. some of the stuff you say i didnt kno. i like what im learnin from these too and fun to watch. good job guys 👍 OSFNW
LoL, that's me at 9.16 talking about Shane McMahon. The event was in 99' at the M.E.N arena in Manchester, No Mercy, if I can remember rightly half the roster stayed back in the U.S doing house showz and I was well pissed at not seeing the rock. We snuck into the Midland Hotel and had met all the wrestlers, it was pandemonium but I did have a great photo with Stone Cold, J.R, Gangrel and a few others. Amazing time to be a wrestling fan.
@Adam L if you could link any of those podcasts, I'd be eternally grateful! A bit of backstory to my 15 minutes, we were all congregating at the entrance to the MEN arena and the bloke from the QVC shopping channel was conducting the interviews with fans. By a stroke of luck I was stood in the right place at the right time and this QVC bloke grabbed me and asked me who I was looking forward to seeing and who I thought would win the main event....I thought everybody was going to say stone cold so I lied to the QVC guy and declared my love for Shane McMahon, just to be different...problem was the QVC guy had to do a 3 second countdown before I spoke, but I kept on interrupting him on 1 because I was excited and nervous. After 4 attempts the QVC guy said "right, if you don't get it right this time, I'm moving onto the next person"....luckily I got it right on my final attempt but I came across like a right dickhead because of the pressure and nerves.. An hour or so later me and my mates were in the arena and all of a sudden I popped up on the Titantron and my life there and then, became complete lol. Nearly as cringy as the Bulldog kid from Wembley 92'!

@@anonymousperson4414 Becky Lynch isn't a piece of shit. She & the other 4 Horsewomen (both iterations: Becky herself, Charlotte & the Boss 'n Hug Connection AND those transferred from MMA, namely "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke & Shafir) are the most marketable talents on the 2 main rosters (barring NXT) & that, in itself, speaks volumes.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh don't worry bout that dude. He just angry. Another attitude era mark that thinks nothing will ever be as good as that ever. But if you actually watch all of that era from start to finish you realize most of it was shit and people remember if nostalgia glasses on. If it wasn't for Austin, Rock, Foley, HBK at the start, that era had nothing but shit wrestlers and Jerry Springer gimmicks mixed with Howard Stern. Edgy shit for the sake of it. The matches were all shit. I can't think of one all time great match during the attitude era. Wrestling was the after thought and it was all about stupid storylines. Even Taker was garbage. Ministry Taker was awful. It's what trailer park kids would think was dark and edgy. Today's wrestlings blows it away by far. If the company allowed the guys and girls to make their own characters it would be so much better. Alot of the people their can make great characters cause they did it in other places including NXT but Vince ruins them. You think Vince wrote all Stone Colds or Rock's lines? No they did it themselves and created the characters we remember them for forever. They need to be allowed to do that again. They are wasting all that talent. From top to bottom, the roster has never been better in terms of pure talent and in ring skill then it is today. So it's sad to see it wasted. I can't watch WWE. I just keep up on it through UA-cam. I won't give them money or ratings until shit is fixed. I just watch NJPW. Only company I would pay to see cause they actually know how to tell stories properly and it's the best wrestling in the world. Anyone who thinks it's not is just in denial. Very rarely are you disappointed with matches in NJPW. Hopefully my favorite wrestler for the last ten years Ibushi, finally wins the title. He deserves it. Look for him and Okada to put on a classic during wrestle kingdom. NXT has the next best wrestling but only issue is I'm always worried when guys or girls get popular cause Vince will take them and ruin them.
Steve Austin said on his podcast (there's a UA-cam audio clip somewhere) that the manhole was pretty deep (I believe he estimated 13 ft) and all they did was throw a few foam pads at the bottom, and that he fell a decent distance, and he took the bump like a champ. From what I can tell, they held on to him as long as possible and let go when only his feet were exposed.
I was not expecting this...eitherway, amazing work as always lads always showing much love to you all and all the time and effort you put into these each and every upload :)
I have watched about 40 of their reviews, and I think your the first female who is actually watching old school wrestling and not only that but had a great comment. Nice!
@DejaVoodooDoll She's not a tweener at all. She's clearly booked as a heel, just because a bunch of nerds in the crowd cheers for her doesn't make her a tweener.
@@MidwestMachete Actually, it does. WWE can't book credible faces to save their lives (see Bayley on main roster) & most heels get over because WWE can book baddies better than good guys anymore, it seems.
GOD!!! I really get chills with the Undertaker entrance at around 1:33:00 . Vince's commentary is actually *amazing* during that. He understands the character of the Undertaker so well. I love that entrance and any time we get heel commentary from Mr. McMahon.
for those wondering what J.O.B stood for, its "just over broke" but also an obvious nod to being jobbers. official members were al snow, blue meanie, Bob holly, scorpio, and Gillberg!
As an American, I can tell you that we definitely DON'T eat most of those racist gimmicks up nearly as much as Vince's booking makes it seem. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it's just cringe-worthy. Especially ones as embarrassing as Becky Lynch's.
@JackgarPrime: Becky actually came up with the Irish jig dancer gimmick on her own, you know that, right? Luckily for her, she stopped the gimmick & became essentially the Merida of the Smackdown women's roster in terms of persona, except that Kevin Dunn hates her accent & refuses to let her succeed.
No she didn't come up with it herself. She was given it and intentionally sandbagged it by making it as ridiculous as possible. Gotta love wanna be smarks who have no idea what they are talking about.
I got curious about why Snow and Blackman were called "Head Cheese." I couldn't remember why so I looked a bit to jog my memory. So it goes like this. Snow and Blackman got randomly teamed up like a lot of tag teams during the Attitude era and they were successful. Once they one they got a shot at the tag titles. Now that they were going to be a team Snow came to Blackman with a cape and suggested that they be called "Head Count" since Blackman had the personality of a deadman. Blackman's face showed he didn't like it so Snow came to him with a few different gimmicks. One of them was a wheel of cheese and he suggested "Head Cheese." Well again Blackman didn't like it but during their match the fans got behind them by chanting "Head Cheese." So that's the one that got over so that's the team name now. I know this a whole lot for a silly name on a video from a while ago but for the Blackman fans that are out there here's an explanation.
Undoubtedly The Undertaker's best theme and entrance. As OOC alluded to, it is worth a topic on its own. Actually, the themes of the Attitude Era were a HUGE part of its success in my opinion. The Rock, Undertaker, Kane, Austin, HHH, DX, N.O.D., Mankind, Vince, heck even Test had awesome themes. Great memories!
Jeff Jarrett is the Nickleback of professional wrestling: Not overtly bad, usually competent but completely unremarkable. Great wrestler my ass. If you can't manage to have a good feud with Kurt Angle, then the problem is you... or the booker. Point is, Jarrett is NOT great. Never was, never will be.
Then there's the whole case with nepotism being the only reason he ever made it in the industry, with his father being one of the most respected promoters in the history of wrestling but a lot of younger wrestlers tend to get by utilizing their family lineage, so it wouldn't be fair to only call out JJ... although that doesn't excuse him from booking himself as the world champion several times in his own company. Say would you want about HHH, at least he's charismatic and keeps his character consistent. Does that answer your inquiry on why people don't like Jarrett? I can give a lot more reasons if you have the time.
That doesn't take away from the fact that the overall talent of the man behind the angle can be summarized with the timeless expression... "meh" Putting aside my personal opinion towards the angles you mentioned (fantastic... pfft), even the most dense of men can strike gold if given the enough times and resources.
Hilarious how the landscape of wrestling has changed compared to back in 2014. Another thing I might add is people still give X-Pac a lot of shit but looking back he was a pretty solid and entertaining worker. The thing that hurt him though was no matter the gimmick change or if he was heel or face he always had the same mannerisms much like Dolph Ziggler today.
If I had to say a stand alone era, I would say the Golden era WM 3-6 has it. A very close second is the attitude era! But the best time in wrestling, if it wasn't stand alone, was the Monday Night Wars. That was far and away the most exciting time in wrestling. We would even watch Thunder and the weekend shows which weren't as good because it was so much fun!
It’s very interesting to be a new viewer and pop through different arcs out of order. Witnessing the birth of the boy stables here in one of the few tattoo reviews is like finding a key piece of a puzzle. Love the show so much, it’s one of the most evergreen ones on the platform
This episode is how I discovered & became a fan of Becky Lynch. I watched this 9 years ago & saw this & felt bad for her then a few months later I watched my first NXT PPV NXT Unstoppable in 2015 & Becky came out with the steampunk gimmick & bright orange hair & tore the house down with Sasha & I remembered this rant & it made me feel happy for her to overcome that debut & i've been a fan of her ever since & almost 10 years later she's become 1 of the biggest female wrestlers of all time. It's insane how far she's come even back to her Rebecca Knox days no wonder she has a book coming out this year.
If WWE ever struggles to push a character, they should go back and watch HHH during this match. This is Dec. 1998. By the time Wrestlemania 2000 comes along in a year and 4 months HHH will be a be a brand new wrestler. His look, his ring gear, his hair, his music, pretty much everything about him changed until they found something that worked. So WWE. If you don't know how to get someone over. Think HHH in 1999. Oh man. How do we get Kofi over as a singles star? Do what you did with HHH in 1999. Wow Shelton Benjamin's back and we need to put him in the main event. But he just isn't that good on the mic. Think HHH in 1999. Rinse and repeat.
The one thing I would love to see more of from OSW is the lip sync/voice over like Jay's "I hope you're happy" and (my favorite moment of all the reviews) "I got you a title shot!". I lose my shit any time it happens.
Coming back to this show right after going through the WCW Warrior arc, I tripped out SO hard at V1 hitting the NWO theme at 53:15 almost exactly like he does in the current Warrior arc xD
So glad you loved Gangrel's theme. I used to love it too. Actually, the themes of the Attitude era you mentioned were all ones I thought were great too. Even Edge's first theme in the WWF wasn't that bad either. Speaking of themes, Do you remember Taka Michinoku's? it's one of my favs ever. WWE:Taka Michinoku Theme "Yamato Suite 4" WWE won't shell out for the license anymore in a lot of their DVDs. I think Taka brought the them over from Japan with him. Written and performed by someone famous apparently.
When I visited New York we went to WWF New York and were watching the titantron videos because we couldn’t really see them anywhere (this was before UA-cam) and an employee of the store kicked us out of the store! They said we had to buy something! We were just watching it quietly!
Legendary Vince Macmahon at 1:33:31"Look at that demon! My god he's come to take some souls tonight" This one line is better than the whole career of Michael Cole.
Ah! The Vince-a-roonie! I saw that in person and until that after the show DVD came out, I thought it was lost to time and the memories of the people in the Key Arena in Seattle. That was the first time I've seen it since it happened in August 2002.
While he was injured, and did not do well during his Olympic run, Mark Henry was one of the most decorated lifters of all time and many in the sport consider him the best ever.
Just a suggestion, but I think any future Attitude Era reviews would be better off concentrating on Raw episodes. They would give a lot more material to work with than the PPVs.
Steve Blackman did have a secondary submission finisher. It was a Guillotine Choke/Triangle Hold/Hell's Gate submission. His main finish was a Bicycle Kick/Martial Arts Kick/Running Pump Kick, though.
Troy genuinely I never ever saw anyone take a picture of themselves using a camera back then. In every tourist place in the world, people would ask a stranger to take a picture of them.
Awesome review guys! I remember Channel 4 putting their PPV's at 1.40am after the Rumble fiasco. They heavily edited Backlash (blurred X-Pac's head after he was busted open and freezing the screen as Trish Stratus was being put through the table by Bubba Ray) showing the Big Show at the Rumble 2001 for a split second before it went to an ad break and showing an episode of Heat DURING King Of The Ring 2001 (Their last event was Vengeance 2001 btw). I cant wait for your next episodes.
During the HHH vs Jeff Jarrett match.. I thought HHH was Edge. Jeeze, you can really see the growth in muscle mass when you see him now in more recent matches. It's like he "magically" spiked up 40-50 pounds.
agreed, she's attractive, although I wasn't a fan of her look in this match, I get the loose fitting shirt, but her hair looked awful here. The straight long black hair she had months before and the braids she wore while in PMS was a much better look for her.
Her face always looked tired/haggard and old looking without the makeup, like she's lived a really hard life. Plus her tattoos were always nasty looking
@@sainttrunks1982 exactly, IMO her time in memphis wasn't kind to her, you could tell how she rapidly aged during her 6+ year stint there from her debut to right before she left for wcw.
I love the story of Jay putting on the same ppv to fall asleep every night. I fall asleep listening to OSW a lot of nights here.

That’s because Becky did evil stuff to get where she is today, the satanic symbols she wears in her attire says it all. Black Magic is just terrible.

But if you actually watch all of that era from start to finish you realize most of it was shit and people remember if nostalgia glasses on. If it wasn't for Austin, Rock, Foley, HBK at the start, that era had nothing but shit wrestlers and Jerry Springer gimmicks mixed with Howard Stern. Edgy shit for the sake of it. The matches were all shit. I can't think of one all time great match during the attitude era. Wrestling was the after thought and it was all about stupid storylines. Even Taker was garbage. Ministry Taker was awful. It's what trailer park kids would think was dark and edgy. Today's wrestlings blows it away by far. If the company allowed the guys and girls to make their own characters it would be so much better. Alot of the people their can make great characters cause they did it in other places including NXT but Vince ruins them. You think Vince wrote all Stone Colds or Rock's lines? No they did it themselves and created the characters we remember them for forever. They need to be allowed to do that again. They are wasting all that talent. From top to bottom, the roster has never been better in terms of pure talent and in ring skill then it is today. So it's sad to see it wasted. I can't watch WWE. I just keep up on it through UA-cam. I won't give them money or ratings until shit is fixed. I just watch NJPW. Only company I would pay to see cause they actually know how to tell stories properly and it's the best wrestling in the world. Anyone who thinks it's not is just in denial. Very rarely are you disappointed with matches in NJPW. Hopefully my favorite wrestler for the last ten years Ibushi, finally wins the title. He deserves it. Look for him and Okada to put on a classic during wrestle kingdom. NXT has the next best wrestling but only issue is I'm always worried when guys or girls get popular cause Vince will take them and ruin them.
@@thomasc.5219 what a mark
This was my first ever osw episode! heres to enjoying the hell out of every episode for 2 years! Thanks brahs!
Also manhole covers are round because the hole is round.
.................... (aims my gun) you need... you need to come with me sir
The 'this is your life' bit, I almost shot juice out of my nose laughing. Priceless lol
Steve Austin said on his podcast (there's a UA-cam audio clip somewhere) that the manhole was pretty deep (I believe he estimated 13 ft) and all they did was throw a few foam pads at the bottom, and that he fell a decent distance, and he took the bump like a champ. From what I can tell, they held on to him as long as possible and let go when only his feet were exposed.
Crazy how far Becky has come. I had no idea she had a dancing a jig all the time gimmick that’s some oof energy right there
I was not expecting this...eitherway, amazing work as always lads
always showing much love to you all and all the time and effort you put into these each and every upload :)
X-Pac is a can of "Rehab" Monster Energy Drink.
You're WELCOME.
Splicey Splicey
Glad they could tie in the entendre
I have watched about 40 of their reviews, and I think your the first female who is actually watching old school wrestling and not only that but had a great comment. Nice!
@@lucasbaer9567 This is such a ridiculous comment. The first woman that watches old school wrestling?? Wow.
Lucas Baer - except for all of the women in the live audience and the rest watching these videos?
its safe to say after 2 years becky lynch has done alright
Max Walker Becky is basically like the Sting of the women's division.
@DejaVoodooDoll Eugh.. please don't remind me of Heel Becky.
@DejaVoodooDoll She's not a tweener at all. She's clearly booked as a heel, just because a bunch of nerds in the crowd cheers for her doesn't make her a tweener.
@@MidwestMachete Actually, it does. WWE can't book credible faces to save their lives (see Bayley on main roster) & most heels get over because WWE can book baddies better than good guys anymore, it seems.
Delighted for her now in 2019
GOD!!! I really get chills with the Undertaker entrance at around 1:33:00 . Vince's commentary is actually *amazing* during that. He understands the character of the Undertaker so well. I love that entrance and any time we get heel commentary from Mr. McMahon.
for those wondering what J.O.B stood for, its "just over broke" but also an obvious nod to being jobbers. official members were al snow, blue meanie, Bob holly, scorpio, and Gillberg!
At least Becky's now got the rocker gimmick, I mean it's not amazing, but it's better than being Fem-Finlay
FEMLAY!
I want to see her do a Marvel's Shamrock gimmick.
She still sucks
@A Lapsed Fan still sucks
As an American, I can tell you that we definitely DON'T eat most of those racist gimmicks up nearly as much as Vince's booking makes it seem. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it's just cringe-worthy. Especially ones as embarrassing as Becky Lynch's.
JackgarPrime rr
@Wermhats Wormhat: Bigot. Fuck off, Archie Bunker.
@JackgarPrime: Becky actually came up with the Irish jig dancer gimmick on her own, you know that, right? Luckily for her, she stopped the gimmick & became essentially the Merida of the Smackdown women's roster in terms of persona, except that Kevin Dunn hates her accent & refuses to let her succeed.
No she didn't come up with it herself. She was given it and intentionally sandbagged it by making it as ridiculous as possible. Gotta love wanna be smarks who have no idea what they are talking about.
Yeah I think it was pretty obvious back in the day that even in 1992 Kamala made people..... uncomfortable.
The weirder thing about Gangrel is that he looks and acts more like a Toreador.
I'll show myself out.
joesomenumbers Really nice Vampire:Masquerade reference, can of coke for you mate!
He does.
*does V1's nerd/smark voice
Uhhhhh.....actually.....Gangrel looks and acts more like a toreador
I mean you're not wrong
depends. If he's naked it's probably a nosferatu
Surprised you didn’t mention how Vinny whips his FULL beer into the audience lol
Had to come back to this since 'Clash at the castle' is coming up.
I got curious about why Snow and Blackman were called "Head Cheese." I couldn't remember why so I looked a bit to jog my memory. So it goes like this. Snow and Blackman got randomly teamed up like a lot of tag teams during the Attitude era and they were successful. Once they one they got a shot at the tag titles. Now that they were going to be a team Snow came to Blackman with a cape and suggested that they be called "Head Count" since Blackman had the personality of a deadman. Blackman's face showed he didn't like it so Snow came to him with a few different gimmicks. One of them was a wheel of cheese and he suggested "Head Cheese." Well again Blackman didn't like it but during their match the fans got behind them by chanting "Head Cheese." So that's the one that got over so that's the team name now. I know this a whole lot for a silly name on a video from a while ago but for the Blackman fans that are out there here's an explanation.
Undoubtedly The Undertaker's best theme and entrance. As OOC alluded to, it is worth a topic on its own. Actually, the themes of the Attitude Era were a HUGE part of its success in my opinion. The Rock, Undertaker, Kane, Austin, HHH, DX, N.O.D., Mankind, Vince, heck even Test had awesome themes. Great memories!
Test test this is a test
Hearing Becky's back story makes her winning the championship all the better
Oh wow I found you pre-fame
Jeff Jarrett is the Nickleback of professional wrestling: Not overtly bad, usually competent but completely unremarkable. Great wrestler my ass. If you can't manage to have a good feud with Kurt Angle, then the problem is you... or the booker. Point is, Jarrett is NOT great. Never was, never will be.
hahaha best description of JJ EVER.
Still, never a good thing to be compared to Nickelbak lol
Then there's the whole case with nepotism being the only reason he ever made it in the industry, with his father being one of the most respected promoters in the history of wrestling but a lot of younger wrestlers tend to get by utilizing their family lineage, so it wouldn't be fair to only call out JJ... although that doesn't excuse him from booking himself as the world champion several times in his own company. Say would you want about HHH, at least he's charismatic and keeps his character consistent. Does that answer your inquiry on why people don't like Jarrett? I can give a lot more reasons if you have the time.
Vinnce12 Bret Harts background as well...
"Jeff Jarrett, #1 Dad" and "Jeff Jarrett, MMA Enthusiast" were fantastic angles and I won't hear otherwise, sir!
That doesn't take away from the fact that the overall talent of the man behind the angle can be summarized with the timeless expression... "meh"
Putting aside my personal opinion towards the angles you mentioned (fantastic... pfft), even the most dense of men can strike gold if given the enough times and resources.
So crazy to listen to the Becky segment right before her match with Rhea at WrestleMania 40. Great news! She made it! 😂
Some major attitude era memories here, and Jacquis lady lumps...bonus.😅😘😘😍
Hilarious how the landscape of wrestling has changed compared to back in 2014. Another thing I might add is people still give X-Pac a lot of shit but looking back he was a pretty solid and entertaining worker. The thing that hurt him though was no matter the gimmick change or if he was heel or face he always had the same mannerisms much like Dolph Ziggler today.
The R was also popular with Team Rocket :D
If I had to say a stand alone era, I would say the Golden era WM 3-6 has it. A very close second is the attitude era! But the best time in wrestling, if it wasn't stand alone, was the Monday Night Wars. That was far and away the most exciting time in wrestling. We would even watch Thunder and the weekend shows which weren't as good because it was so much fun!
Mankind should have gone over in the main event considering he was going up against the Rock at Rock Bottom.
It’s very interesting to be a new viewer and pop through different arcs out of order. Witnessing the birth of the boy stables here in one of the few tattoo reviews is like finding a key piece of a puzzle. Love the show so much, it’s one of the most evergreen ones on the platform
This is a monumental episode. If this was the 1st epi, it would make a lot of sense towards future references
This episode is how I discovered & became a fan of Becky Lynch. I watched this 9 years ago & saw this & felt bad for her then a few months later I watched my first NXT PPV NXT Unstoppable in 2015 & Becky came out with the steampunk gimmick & bright orange hair & tore the house down with Sasha & I remembered this rant & it made me feel happy for her to overcome that debut & i've been a fan of her ever since & almost 10 years later she's become 1 of the biggest female wrestlers of all time. It's insane how far she's come even back to her Rebecca Knox days no wonder she has a book coming out this year.
"ALL the belts!" ...and a Slammy, that made me laugh harder than it should have, well done lads.
If WWE ever struggles to push a character, they should go back and watch HHH during this match.
This is Dec. 1998. By the time Wrestlemania 2000 comes along in a year and 4 months HHH will be a be a brand new wrestler. His look, his ring gear, his hair, his music, pretty much everything about him changed until they found something that worked.
So WWE. If you don't know how to get someone over. Think HHH in 1999.
Oh man. How do we get Kofi over as a singles star? Do what you did with HHH in 1999.
Wow Shelton Benjamin's back and we need to put him in the main event. But he just isn't that good on the mic. Think HHH in 1999.
Rinse and repeat.
Can you believe that Kofi is being setup for a Wrestlemania title match a year after this comment was made?
@@jessieb9384 Man I agree that Kofi would be one of the last guys I would choose, but you really can't argue with that fan reaction.
The one thing I would love to see more of from OSW is the lip sync/voice over like Jay's "I hope you're happy" and (my favorite moment of all the reviews) "I got you a title shot!". I lose my shit any time it happens.
IT GONNA BE EMOTONAL!
Making it onto your countries Olympic team, does mean you were better than all candidates from your country though, so he's still very good.
So what did Droz end up doing with his career?
(dammit d'lo)
"You're livin' in a wheelchair now!" (Dammit Dino)
Raginasian95 OSW + Dino Winwood = ALL THE BUYS
8:52 "If one's mother dies, you fly back immediately." a now unfortunately apt line :( love ya Jay
Coming back to this show right after going through the WCW Warrior arc, I tripped out SO hard at V1 hitting the NWO theme at 53:15 almost exactly like he does in the current Warrior arc xD
WAKKA WA HEY HEY
So glad you loved Gangrel's theme. I used to love it too. Actually, the themes of the Attitude era you mentioned were all ones I thought were great too. Even Edge's first theme in the WWF wasn't that bad either. Speaking of themes, Do you remember Taka Michinoku's? it's one of my favs ever.
WWE:Taka Michinoku Theme "Yamato Suite 4"
WWE won't shell out for the license anymore in a lot of their DVDs. I think Taka brought the them over from Japan with him. Written and performed by someone famous apparently.
I remember that theme, great minus the bizarre vocals.
Starting at roughly 25:00 - 26:00 they start showing a lot of Terri...
My god Terri was just so blazing hot it's ridiculous.
Becky went from this to main eventing mania. Awesome job
When I visited New York we went to WWF New York and were watching the titantron videos because we couldn’t really see them anywhere (this was before UA-cam) and an employee of the store kicked us out of the store! They said we had to buy something! We were just watching it quietly!
lol sounds like Vince was a real scumbag with the way he managed that store
I'm pretty sure Mero switched gimmicks after he started having trouble with his knees and could no longer regularly to the high spots.
Legendary Vince Macmahon at 1:33:31"Look at that demon! My god he's come to take some souls tonight" This one line is better than the whole career of Michael Cole.
Weird, considering Vince feeds Cole most of his drivel lol
@@baconatorrodriguez4651 Vince just has the cooler voice. If Coke said that, it'd sound horrendous.
Ah! The Vince-a-roonie! I saw that in person and until that after the show DVD came out, I thought it was lost to time and the memories of the people in the Key Arena in Seattle. That was the first time I've seen it since it happened in August 2002.
I was there, loved it! Keep up the good work guys
Jay marking out for Blackman and Shamrock is one of the funniest things I've heard in a while
I've never found Sable to be attractive. I never understood it.
"but you haven't seen her in satin white panties" - Vince Russo and Vince McMahon probably
Hell Sunny was way hotter and she was still there
I drank as many beers watching this as Vinnie Jones did in this.
STEVE!
MARTIAL ARTIST!
KICKS!
CHEESE!
PYJAMA PANTS!
BEARD!
STICKS!
All titantrons should just be words that tell you what each guy is
PEDIGREE.
KNEE LIFTS.
CROTCH CHOPS.

MOTORHEAD.
you may be on to something
51:00 birth of the boys club... jump in the pool...The shallow end
the opening shot of Springfield elementary makes me think of the OSW boys as students sneaking into the school at night to record their pod cast.
31:22 You missed the much better sign of "Sable is my Viagra" held by a kid who couldn't be older than 15.
While he was injured, and did not do well during his Olympic run, Mark Henry was one of the most decorated lifters of all time and many in the sport consider him the best ever.
Wow i just discover your channel right now and i love it ! +1 sub from France !
Yey! Nice one lads.
Loved V1s cockney accent and Jays Bottom reference
1:43:20
Vinnie's "No Dreer Binking" Jones
I THOUGHT that is what he said!!!
"What Bar, is Val Venis?"
I'm actually currently eating a Dairy Milk, so does that technically mean... I'm eating Val Venis!?!?!?
YOU CHOPPY CHOPPY HIS PEE PEE!
Just a suggestion, but I think any future Attitude Era reviews would be better off concentrating on Raw episodes. They would give a lot more material to work with than the PPVs.
7 years later, they're basically doing this for the Warrior arc, mostly because he only appeared on two WCW PPVs.
Steve Blackman did have a secondary submission finisher. It was a Guillotine Choke/Triangle Hold/Hell's Gate submission. His main finish was a Bicycle Kick/Martial Arts Kick/Running Pump Kick, though.
"This Is Your Life"
Taker: Capital Carnage
LMAO I love that!
*sensual saxophone* hello ladies. That whole sequence was edited beautifully.
@@samlibutti it was!!! LMAO
1. I was just as pumped to see Steve Blackman v Ken Shamrock as you.
2. Shane Sewell coming full circle all these years later.
My ears perked up too for Shane Sewell too! Pretty sure my hat reached the ceiling
Now Becky Main Evented Wrestlemania.. I love pro wrestling
Watching them talk about Becky is gold. Crazy that Stevde knew her when they were 12
1:01:31 look how far she's come.
At 1:14:48 when D-Lo was doing his promo, was this the first ever selfie being taken? Did people do this back then??
They did, there just wasn't a name for it. People were taking handheld self-portraits definitely as far back as 98 if not earlier!
Troy genuinely I never ever saw anyone take a picture of themselves using a camera back then. In every tourist place in the world, people would ask a stranger to take a picture of them.
Awesome review guys! I remember Channel 4 putting their PPV's at 1.40am after the Rumble fiasco. They heavily edited Backlash (blurred X-Pac's head after he was busted open and freezing the screen as Trish Stratus was being put through the table by Bubba Ray) showing the Big Show at the Rumble 2001 for a split second before it went to an ad break and showing an episode of Heat DURING King Of The Ring 2001 (Their last event was Vengeance 2001 btw). I cant wait for your next episodes.
Is there anywhere I could watch the D-Low vignette
During the HHH vs Jeff Jarrett match.. I thought HHH was Edge. Jeeze, you can really see the growth in muscle mass when you see him now in more recent matches. It's like he "magically" spiked up 40-50 pounds.
It was the pants
Nothing like these old shows to see how much things have changed. You guys have covered Becky since her ascension but still good to see how far.
Jacqueline's not attractive? You're mad.
agreed, she's attractive, although I wasn't a fan of her look in this match, I get the loose fitting shirt, but her hair looked awful here. The straight long black hair she had months before and the braids she wore while in PMS was a much better look for her.
Her face always looked tired/haggard and old looking without the makeup, like she's lived a really hard life. Plus her tattoos were always nasty looking
@@sainttrunks1982 exactly, IMO her time in memphis wasn't kind to her, you could tell how she rapidly aged during her 6+ year stint there from her debut to right before she left for wcw.
