2025 = One Last Ride?

[@BarronW2B]

i have been watching all 15 years since you and the old crew started. i was just a kid in middle school and always looked forward to your videos and continue to do so. thank you for everything Jeff and making my wrestling experience that much more worthwhile

[@br0deyclone]

The most underrated YT channel ever. Always entertaining without being fancy. I wish you posted more or had a Podcast style content.

[@movie-mandan]

Honestly, a podcast style would drag the Shlegdaddy down. Not many other wrestling KZbinrs are as good as him.

I agree 💯

I discovered you, Tasteless Tony T, Mr Routt, Metal D and Marvellous Mark when I was going through a pretty bad time in my life back in 2011/12. Watching you guys kinda reignited my affection for pro wrestling, as well as giving me some much-needed laughs. I’ll always thank you guys for that. All the best to you Schlegdaddy.

[@OTRSCentral]

Well glad we could provide you with a positive distraction.

[@punkfitness53]

A lot of the older KZbin channels are done. Now this one is to now. Man ima miss you. I loved your old school wrestling talks and reviews. Wish you all the best in your life and career.

Now it's just news and rumors not engaging like the good old days.

[@TheSavvyYesMan]

Happy 2025, Schlegdaddy. If this truly is the final year for OTRSCentral, it's been a great run & you will be missed.

[@jayglenn82]

I will say that as a 42 year old man, wrestling was better in general before KZbin came along and podcasts came along. Too many nerds that wanna be booker and don’t understand how wrestling really works.

[@JustAlyx]

Let's make the wrestling community fun again in 2025. One last run!

[@natetieken619]

Shoutout all the folks, like myself, that were there for the original offtheropesshow. Amazing group of guys. Then the channel got hacked and we lose the original videos unfortunately. I’m glad you guys kept going and made a 2nd channel, even when you personally took it over and moved to Virginia and kept it going. You’re one of the YWC GOATs Jeff, appreciate your service. Keep the NFL talk going though pleaseeeeee

[@k.o1169]

I’ve been following you since 2011 before I was even 16. You’ve been fantastic entertainment and your views have really influenced my journey as a wrestling fan. Haven’t always agreed but appreciated your conviction. Here’s to a crazy 2025 on the OTRS SHOW!

[@TomNook]

Following this channel since early 2010s. Let’s go for one last ride. 🫡

[@danielclark241]

Honestly Jeff, I've felt the same way over the last year. I don't know if it's just because I'm older now, or if it's because it feels like the paradigm has shifted to such a degree, but I'm beginning to feel like my days as a "big wrestling fan" are slowly starting to wind down. But either way, thank you for being my favorite KZbin Wrestling Commentator for all of these years! OTRSCentral will forever be "Not the Wrestling Show We Want, Just the Wrestling Show We Need".

[@lworthy2518]

I've been feeling the same way as well.

[@karlhillje9283]

Thank you for everything Jeff for everything you did for this channel and for wrestling fans. As someone who had stopped watching wrestling for many years I could use you for entertainment and knowledge to keep wrestling somewhat alive in my life. All these years I hoped both your channels would gain the recognition it deserved and grew to a level it deserved. The wrestlemania 28 live reaction with the whole crew was my favorite video from the offtheropeshow channel i wish it was still up. Hoping otrscentral goes out with a bang!

[@MrRed88]

The smarkbusters are gone. Otrs is retiring at the end of the year, and PSpower only shows up for one video a year. The only good channels worth checking out in this godforsaken community are/have hung it up and soon there won't be an honest and not boring channel that knows what the hell they're talking about left in the cesspool we call the YWC. But I can't blame Jeff for leaving.

[@julesdalli9716]

I used to be pretty active in wrestling forums up until about 5 years ago. Stopped watching SB's around 2021 (I think they had stopped putting out videos around then anyway). Only watch OTRS out of curiosity when he uploads every so often. And I can honestly go months or even over a full year without watching a PPV or a weekly TV program. Wrestling is so dead now. The mid 2010's look outstanding by comparison.

[@Troy_Johnson]

[@JYP1M]

Age and life just changes everything. I’m happy to say I’m going to wrestlemania this year as a bucket list. Beyond that I’ll catch wrestling here or there. I’m 42 myself. I own my own business, I just don’t have the time. Watching wrestling is a commitment - and I can’t commit anymore. ❤

[@atimetraveler4910]

The most underrated wrestling talk channel. At one point otrs was on the verge to being the next big thing. Until some fool hacked their old channel which not only stalled everything but caused complete phase transition for otrs. If you missed the old school otrs vids, i feel bad for you. They were the most fun reviews ever. Thank you schleggdaddy. For all the times you entertained us. I will never forget you. On my old channel i was a huge commentary back in 2011/2012. Now 2025 if you're retiring you deserve everything. I do hope we see you review the big ples! Happy new year! Entertaining ourselves, while you watch us!

[@russelllangworthy]

This is saddening to put it lightly. I have been watching you vids for the past 8 years at least. We share many similar views on things. I looked forward to hearing your thoughts on current events as they happened.

Jeff - while I’m disappointed by the news, I understand completely. I found this channel in 2011 and found your style engaging and entertaining. You speak from a fans perspective earnestly and honestly. Like you (we are around the same age), life, career and adulthood has prevented me from watching much of anything let alone wrestling. I always appreciated your retro reviews around Wrestlemania season. Congrats on a successful 15 year run and I look forward to the content you have planned this year.

[@Voss_Man]

Been watching for God knows how long.. Thanks for the memories Jeff, Good luck for everything in the future

Discovered the original channel in 2011, and my interest in wrestling has also never been lower than it is now. Sort of in the same boat as you, where I don't have my friend group I used to watch with back in the day. Thank you for the years of laughs and videos.

Never really followed any other wrestling content creators and for over a decade was a 15 reasons Randy Orton sucks video on my own favorite wrestler that made me a subscriber. I can vouch and say this channel was one of main inspirations why I train to be in the business because like or not, Jeff always told like it was whether it was popular and most times it wasn't but a lot of the time, it was the truth. I salute you for all the entertainment you brought to me and so many for years. Now that the mushy crap is out of the way, we need some good rants/burials on the last ride of 2025 brother!

Interest naturally peaks and plummets over the years. You can't hold the same enthusiasm for something when everything you were excited about has changed or moved on. I'm a bit saddened that this may be the last ride, however, I'm not shocked and wish you the best in whatever you decide to do after the old OTRS goes offline.

[@Garmygarms]

Been a viewer of since I was 14 years old, I’m 28 now. Thanks for being a formative part of my wrestling life and a channel that I never stopped returning to. I still remember Smokey and the Mark Henry thing and lose it laughing. So much insight and intelligence. Thank you Schlegdaddy. If Jeff Jarrett ever wins the AEW title you have to come back for one last video!

[@branhasyoutube]

Been a great run man. Thank you for everything

[@brmawe]

Man! I've been watching you since 2013 when I was 13. And I agree, I fell out of wrestling quite a while ago as I got older. I sorta came back once I heard that The Rock was returning & he WAS the highlight! Everything else? Cool I guess but I just couldn't care that much anymore. It's been a long journey, hope you find all the success in life.

[@WSCStageCreator]

I’ve been watching you since 2013, really enjoyed your perspective throughout the years. Especially loved the Royal Rumble & WrestleMania review series. Sad to see you go, but definitely understand your reasoning.

[@ThatShadowSiren]

It's been a ride. Been a fan since early 2011 on my old account. You've been probably one of the few wrestling content creators on this site that I could actually agree with consistently. Especially the last 10 years at least. It's honestly a shame this channel couldn't have grown more in the views and subs. But it is what it is. At least we'll still see you yell the cries of BEARS FOOTBALL!! on the other channel.

[@RipperJack77]

You and your crew were the second Wrestling channel I ever started watching. The first one stopped probably ten years ago. As a German, I never had any friends who where interested in Wrestling outside of some teenage nostalgia. So these kind of channels where the only way for me to have some kind of minimum interaction about wrestling. So thank you for providing this :)

[@ASQ1Fan]

Been a fan/subscriber since 2011. Don't blame you for retiring. You'll be missed. Funny enough is Jeff Jarrett is now in the AEW world title scene lol. He's also doing one last run.

As a former YWC member from 2011, you were always one of my favorites along with so many others who inspired me to rant on the PG era. I wish you best of look with your other channel and thank you.

Your retro reviews of WWE Big 4 PPVS are one the best things on YT thank you for that OTRS central

[@lworthy2518]

I had to come back to this video- because this is how I have been feeling for some time. Just like with video games, it's more fun to share your enjoyment and experiences with some things with others. The fandom in pro wrestling is no different. Maybe because I'm in my 40s too, but it's been a struggle to keep up with the wrestling scene lately. I hardly watch the top 10 Raw/SD/NXT moments videos like I used to. Barely look at any AEW highlights videos. This maybe my "last ride" with pro wrestling as a fan. Let's see how this year goes. Thanks for the videos, Jeff.

[@robertrogers074]

Discovered you last year,I find you funny. I understand that you don't upload much.

[@mountiescorner]

0:40 nailed it, amen... same here brother. Just try to last longer than Double J...

[@stevencherry375]

Just wanted to say that I've loved your channel since around 2013-2014. You're the only dude that still makes sense. I'm kind of the same as you in that I haven't enjoyed modern wrestling for a long time. But I used to at least feel a sense of comraderie with other fans because we could all agree that modern wrestling sucks and we could make fun of it. But now, so many fans have lowered their standards so much that they believe this stuff is great. And even worse, they've deluded themselves into believing that wrestling is bigger/more popular than ever before which is laughable. You're the only fan I can watch and still think "He gets it." You've provided years of entertainment for me. I hope you change your mind, but if not, I totally understand.

[@Aaron-1400]

Wish you all the best for the future Jeff. So many good memories & hilarious videos😂. Won't ever forget you & this channel.

[@PIACTOUR1]

I genuinely feel a sense of pride knowing that you are choosing to distance yourself from this bitter and toxic community. It takes a lot of courage and self-awareness to recognize when it's time to move on, and I admire your decision to pursue greater opportunities in your life. You've built an impressive and fulfilling career, especially considering the challenges you’ve faced. Many individuals would have struggled to navigate the complexities of the current state of the industry, but you, my friend, have not only persevered through the chaos but have also remained true and loyal to the WWE community. Your dedication and resilience are truly inspiring, and I'm excited to see where this new journey will take you. Thank you sir for the great memories and constant commitment. Have a wonderful retirement in the near future.

[@darthnater9731]

I started watching back in early 2021 and I’ve enjoyed the content ever since. Been a hell of a ride Jeff. I don’t blame you for wanting to hang it up.

[@Housesedge]

Everything you said is 100% correct. Wrestling used to be a working class sport, but nowadays it just feels like a boujee fashion show, the tribalism from both AEW & WWE fans has really caused the community to hollow out, it’s just one big smark fest & and it has definitely alienated me. I only listened to you + DTKC yall were the last few guys that I felt weren’t doing it for the money. Everyone wants to be THE fan, and the community has died. Gunna be watching all of your videos this year, it’s been real brotha. I would love to hear your overall comments on the Vince lawsuit.

[@SSJ4Omega]

Hopefully you keep your videos up. I still watch your wrestlemania reviews when I’m working my graveyard from time to time

[@dhosea101]

I feel you brother, I don't even cover current wrestling as is, because my heart just isn't in it anymore. I'm gonna try to get back into it now since wrestling is going to be on streaming services, but I think 2025 is going to be my swansong too. Best of luck to whatever you do in the future. Time to go rule 2025, brother.

[@heelgill]

I've been watching you for about 6 years (since I was 15) and mannn, I always looked forward to your videos.

I disagree about wwe not being hood right now. It’s doing better as a whole than it has in years in my opinion. At the same time, social media and the internet has ruined the magic to a degree. Nostalgia also plays a factor in it. I haven’t watched one nfl game this year because of got tired of wasting Sundays on things I’m not involved in. We are getting older. Good luck to you on everything sincerely.

Can definitely agree with the fact that wrestling is better with a group of friends, even if you are not invested in what is going on. Having those people to talk characters and stories with helps alot in keeping you interested week-to-week.

[@mattsands161]

I’ve lost a lot of my interest in wrestling too. There was a brief period earlier this year when The Rock came back and I got excited about wrestling again, it felt great. Then that quickly faded and I stopped watching Raw and Smackdown. It’s not even that the product is bad, I just find it uninteresting. I do think getting older is a factor. Strangely though I still enjoy NXT when I watch it, and that is arguably the most youthful product in wrestling.

[@Aniwazoa]

You're one of the few and last wrestling reviewers left from the early days of original KZbin and the internet wresting community. I've been subscribed to you since 2010. It's admirable that your channel had avoided the professionalisation and corporatisation of KZbin videos in to the more news channel format that we see today with a lot of wrestling channels. While I didn't always agree with you, I always appreciated your honesty and unfiltered perspectives. When December 6th 2025 comes, it will be in a lot of ways the end of an era not just for your channel, but the personal touch that came with these types of wrestling videos. I wish you all the best in the future.

[@PopeSixtusVI]

The algorithm just isn't fair. This channel should be clearing 250k views a video, at least. Been here since the infamous Randy Orton video on the old channel that got nuked.

[@TheDON914]
