I think T2 was the first R-rated movie I ever saw as a kid. A neighbor friend of mine had a copy and we watched it at his house. At first, I was shocked by the violence and scared to death of the T-1000, but then I was like, "This is so awesome". The sequence with Sarah escaping the mental hospital is such a tense, amazing scene and probably my favorite part of the movie.

I’d be all over a Tommy Dreamer memoir, tbh. Anyone remember when he talked about after ECW folded, thinking about going to Wrestlemania X7 and shooting Heyman and himself because he was so depressed and felt so taken for a ride by all of Paul’s bollocks speeches and bs, and how Jim Ross called him out of the blue, telling him to hang on and theyll find a place for him. Real heart wrenching and brutally honest stuff. Mick Foley couldn’t even be that sincere and removed from his gimmicks and entertainership. This business and its adherents rarely open up with that stuff until tragedy forces their hands.
I hate OOC's take on "uugh, cover only wwe". It's like, fuck WWE, you got to the end goal, OOC is asking for a story from the end onwards. I agree with him that training should be one chapter, but I enjoy territory/indie days discussions just as much as WWE discussions. That's where the meat of their life story will be.
Depends. For a *wrestler*, you can probably get some decent stuff out of their indies background, etc. Like even OOC said he'd want more about the Hart Dungeon. For any... non-wrestler, i'm going to call it... no, don't really need much of the pre-signing stuff, especially if it's not directly related to the business. (Again, depends on your background - if it's related to the business, it's probably worth some pages.) Roberts' book is titled "The best seat in the house", the subject matter is the WWE journey. Everything not-related to that is fluff. If it was actually a biography *about Roberts' life*, that may be different. But the subject matter of this book constrains itself down.
Does Foleys first book get a little bit of a pass because it also includes WCW talk, ie, split among national promotions? Him training to be a wrestler is interesting, but you dont need any more than 1 chapter home life, 1 chapter training, 1 chapter indies, so let's say three...unless something is interesting. But you dont need to go through the ups and downs of each podunk town you wrestle for 100 people in.
I'll be honest, Robert's old school growly announcing was something that stood out to me when they first put on the All In show - and the way he announces Moxley is crazy over
Im very surprised you dont talk about Justin Roberts marking out big time when Betty White was on RAW.He goes on for a full chapter about him being a huge golden girls fan and he really needed to meet her.
Thanks for reviewing this book - I haven’t read it in a while. Must be an announcer thing - as Gary Michael Capetta also wrote a book about his WCW era The must read section is on the Conor stuff
When Coventry City were relegated from the Premier League, there was a guy in the crowd with a sign that said "We'll Be Back" who was shown on Match of the Day. A Year later the club shop was selling his autobiography. That for me still holds the title of world's most pointless autobiography.
This match is scheduled for one fall, no dqs, with a 19 minute time limit. Up first: the conductor of the Lex Express, the constructor of the top 10 overrated wrestling moments. The Irish man who always gives out... Mr. O-O-C! And his opponent: Current AEW ring announcer, the man who marks out like no other, and the only other JR in All Elite Wrestling... JUSTIN... ROBERTS!
If you want a fantastic read, check out Pete Gas' book, 'Looking at the Lights: My Path from Fan to a Wrestling Heel.' Bare minimum time spent discussing his life before wrestling, and even then, a lot of that section includes stories with Shane and Vince and the rest of the McMahons. Has some great stories of how he came into the WWF, and how he was treated. Really nice guy and is a funny writer too. Cannot recommend his book enough.
Good stuff, OOC - the stuff about Connor is by far the most fascinating and upsetting material in the book. Way to take a nice gesture and milk it for all its worth, Steph.
I think the only wrestling biography book I enjoyed was Daniel Bryans and AJ Lee's. Bryan was awesome learning his time elsewhere, and AJ Lee it's touching to read someone's struggles and see where they ended up.
I really disagree with OOC here, I read Ric Flairs book and Bret Harts book, and both talk a lot about stuff outside the business from what I can remember. I think a lot of that is really interesting, more indie stuff is good in my opinion. Also think hearing those things about Garcia bummed me out the most, she was without a doubt my favorite ring announcer in WWE.
Was impressed with Roberts when I saw him at Dynamite last year in Denver. He kept the crowd engaged the entire show. Scott Steiner ring announcing is still the best though
I'd love to see you all review Terminator 2, and try to explain why that 30 minute Fastlane-esque filler match against cops at Cyberdyne was necessary on the road to Steelmillamania. Didn't the Dave Meltzer say the T1000 was injured?
@@OSW honestly, disappointing for the reasons you said. I wanted that dirt and to know who was an asshole and she gave us nothing. I wanted her to talk about her conflicts with Stephanie, or Nikki Bella and such
@@SirRobinBP What do you think autobiographies are for? It's not a bloody hate post it's "here's my life story". Even if she has heat with Bellas and Steph, why would you honor them with presence in what is supposed to be your life story. I think you think shoot heat is why more salty than you think it is. It's not as bad as in ring, and most of the time it's 2 people passing each other with ":I" face.
The bit about Chris Benoit being a dick doesn't surprise me. Jericho has said that Benoit, despite being nice to him, was not a friendly person. Triple H also told a story about Benoit making a young wrestler do squats in the locker room as punishment for something.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick I mean I know you're being sarcastic but you'd be surprised how much ppl have sanitized Benoit's behavior before his horrendous last act.
You should review another ring announcer book by Gary Michael Cappetta. In the words of Tony Schiavone, "Why would I have any reason to crack that book?"
Thank u brah but no more adult reviews - UA-cam removed our Sunny video for the PODCAST CONTENT (and not the video itself). So even it was just audio it'd get deleted, because we're TALKING about salacious content 😢
@@OSW you could always make it a patreon reward that you and the Steve’s come to the patrons house and watch One Night in Chyna with them instead. Copyright? Meet your match: four guys watching pornography on the same couch.
The guys didn't know that REDACTED was in "cahoots" with Bradshaw. Really? REDACTED, Holly and Guerrero all had a sanctioned lynching of Daniel Puder in the Rumble. They all kicked the crap out of this guy for making the simple mistake of not letting Kurt Angle break his arm.
Waiter: How salty would you like your steak sir? Me: OOC please... Anyhoot, great review. Makes me happy for Roberts being in AEW because he'll probably enjoy it a hell lot more than WWE. Good for him!
It is not a wrestling book but Matt Hughes book is amazing, he wrote it himself and still comes off to be a job level bully. One chapter is even called fighting solves everything.
They're surprised that Benoit was a locker room bully but wasn't he the one that banned The Miz for months due to him leaving some chicken crumbs on a bag (bag but not so bad he should be getting changed in the hallway for months) I remember liking the book enough. Though i agree that it was one of those autobiographies where i was looking forward to getting through the "growing up" sections through the first 3rd.

I agree with him that training should be one chapter, but I enjoy territory/indie days discussions just as much as WWE discussions. That's where the meat of their life story will be.
How much of a wrestling biography should be dedicated to pre-WWE/before their big signing? (OOC says 1 chapter 😆)
I'll say...two chapters
@@LaNoLaCola yep, one for significant growing up background, and one for deciding to go into the bizzo and training / indies, and thats your lot
One chapter max. I don’t care about your middle school gym classes
Depends.
For a *wrestler*, you can probably get some decent stuff out of their indies background, etc. Like even OOC said he'd want more about the Hart Dungeon.
For any... non-wrestler, i'm going to call it... no, don't really need much of the pre-signing stuff, especially if it's not directly related to the business. (Again, depends on your background - if it's related to the business, it's probably worth some pages.)

That makes him sound like a "dancing man", as the Irish would say.
This is the Super Bowl pregame I was waiting for
Thanks for reviewing this book - I haven’t read it in a while. Must be an announcer thing - as Gary Michael Capetta also wrote a book about his WCW era
The must read section is on the Conor stuff
To be fair to Lillian Garcia here lads, the last live Raw I went to when she was full-time, her pre-show entrance got a massive pop
Where they poping for her or because the show was about to start?
@@carlosmontesinos1544 For her. Her music hit and it was, hilariously, one of the loudest pops all night
My dad works at Nintendo and I can confirm all of this
I like Lillian and I feel she deserves a ton of credit for her announcing.
Yeah, I think all the times Stone Cold got her to go up to the ring and drink with him really put her over with the audience.
At 6:27 is it just me or is Virgil trying to get a tenner off Justin Roberts 🤣
OOC now stands for "One! One Chapter"
Justin Roberts never thought his book will be reviewed by OSW
This review was much more enjoyable than at first glance. Thanks Doc Ooc and pals.

"I don't care about your life" - late entry for quote of the year
When Coventry City were relegated from the Premier League, there was a guy in the crowd with a sign that said "We'll Be Back" who was shown on Match of the Day. A Year later the club shop was selling his autobiography. That for me still holds the title of world's most pointless autobiography.
Given that Coventry have not been in the Premier League for over 20 years, I hope this was a 1 page book that just says "I was wrong."
The saltiness of Mr. OOC was just too much for the youtube Bots and Their algorythm
This match is scheduled for one fall, no dqs, with a 19 minute time limit. Up first: the conductor of the Lex Express, the constructor of the top 10 overrated wrestling moments. The Irish man who always gives out... Mr. O-O-C!

Good stuff, OOC - the stuff about Connor is by far the most fascinating and upsetting material in the book. Way to take a nice gesture and milk it for all its worth, Steph.
So I guess he hates Eddie Guerrero's book.
OOC exclusively reads Wrestling and American Great Depression-era books, from what I understand.
I think the only wrestling biography book I enjoyed was Daniel Bryans and AJ Lee's. Bryan was awesome learning his time elsewhere, and AJ Lee it's touching to read someone's struggles and see where they ended up.
Loving this, the more OOC book reviews in the future, the better. Superb stuff.
Currently reading through "We Promised You a Great Main Event" and it reminds me of you guys all the time.
Hopefully that's a review in the future!

Ahh she's probably still a cool lady, just a bit high-maintenance.

You should do Van Damme films as well like double impact and AWOL. Van Damme was no Jimmy Bennett but he was still great.
Yes! Never stop with the OOC book reviews please.
