[@jermaineevans6910]

these were dark times for me as a WCW fan as a kid. Sting was my guy as a kid, so seeing Hogan take over rustled my jimmies.

[@MonstarMk3]

I think they would still be around had they told Hogan to F off and kept Sting as their MAN! They didn't need Hogan. WCW became my number 1 so I could get away from Hulk and his buddies.

[@Musiclover19]

MonstarMk3....NO!!! WCW would have gone under no matter what, you internet marks need to learn that WCW didn’t die because of bad booking decisions they died because a merger happened between AOL and Time Warner and the new owners and the new owners didn’t want anything to do with wrestling. Literally that simple

[@gst013]

Quite the coincidence, as rustling Hogan's jimmies was about the only way to stay relevant in WCW during this time period.

[@gst013]

@@Musiclover19 Yes, the merger killed WCW, but "not wanting wrestling" is a massive oversimplification. WCW went from making 30 million in profits in 1998 to losing 9 million in 1999 to losing 62 million in 2000. Largely due to bad contracts and booking driving their PPV numbers from up to 700,000 at their peak to under 100,000 in 2000. While AOL/Time Warner didn't care about or like wrestling, when you look at a division of your new company that's losing a ridiculous amount of money, axing it is an easy choice regardless of what it is.

[@Musiclover19]

gst013. Yes, losing all that money in 99 and 2000 didn’t help WCW. But people seem to forget that there was a time, before Bischoff took over, where WCW NEVER made a profit and was losing money, but Turner kept it on the air, regardless. If the AOL Time Warner merger never happened WCW would probably still be around today, even with that huge money loss in 2000. But again the new owners wanted absolutely zero to do with wrestling.

So Kevin Nash killed WWE Ratings while he was in WWE and killed WWE Ratings when he came to WCW

[@rcevey2]

He also got to kill WCW's rating, later on.

[@Seth2378]

there's a reason they call him the giant killer.

[@EvanCWaters]

I'm watching early 1995 WWF now and it's amazing that Nash survived this. All his promos are deer in the headlights.

[@AnsticePalo]

Because he was a beginner at the time. How do you marks not know this? oh and to correct this video. Bret was a lesser selling champion than Nash. Nash could have potentially been the best champion of his time, IF Vince didn't make him the smiling babyface the very next night after he won the title. Then Vince turned the only heel left with any chance of coming off as competent, Bam Bam Bigelow, face and had him coming out clapping to his own fucking theme. Nash became the exact opposite of what got him over, and he had no credible heels to face. If they allowed Nash to continue being the cool villain he was before, he had an entire company full of faces to feud with. If they kept Bam Bam heel, he had at least 1 opponent to work with that was relevant until some new heels could be made/brought in.

[@happyChappy96621]

He practically killed WCW ratings when he was booking the show.

So many assholes talk about wrestling, but to do entire shows, with footage, and not only remain consistently entertaining but actually escalate as the review goes on not only shows how talented you are, but how much you enjoy it. It's so refreshing to hear from actual fans who love what they do instead of the typical KZbin dork who starts every review whining about being forced to review something. Thank you, brahs.

The other orignal story was Davey and Pac locked themselves in the car cuz they were pissed HBK got out of the car looking for shit in the first place...

If you think about it, Hogan recreated his entire WWF babyface run from the 80s in just two years in WCW. He comes in, immediately wins the title, has a long reign (for the mid-90s). Vader was kind of like his King Kong Bundy, and Butcher was his Orndorff, the friend who betrays him. He gets into a feud with Andre's "son," which ends up costing him the title. Then they bring in Zeus to fight him, and at the tail end once he's turned heel, he gets a feud with Savage.

wait when was this? I only remember his original, the crappy Finger Eleven cover, and his May 19/Demon Kane song

[@NeptunoProduccionesTV]

That theme was never used. According to an interview that some members of the group did, WWE changed their mind at the last minute, and didn't want to use that version. The members of the band clearly weren't wrestling fans, but the Kane character fascinated them, so when WWE contacted them, they did a really dark and heavy version of his theme for his '02 return. But the Fed decided to make Kane more human (this was around the time Hurri-kane became a thing), so this new theme didn't fit the direction the character was going. So instead of using Type O Negative theme, they ended up going with Finger Eleven. Which is a shame, as the unused theme was awesome. It ended up being released in one of their albums.

Hypothesis re: military gimmicks not getting over, even in the US: Other profession-as-wrestler gimmicks can be explained as needing the money so they're moonlighting (Dusty Rhodes, sorta), or loving wrestling so much they're playing hooky from work (Matt Striker, which was not just a gimmick in his case). A soldier doing either isn't destitute or an enthusiast, they're AWOL. They're literally avoiding the whole reason you're supposed to be respectful of military vets...or they're liars and aren't actually in the military (which out of character of course is no different from any other actor playing a soldier, but in-character is stolen valor). So a guy who's doing the "I'm still in the armed forces" thing is either a coward or a liar. An actual veteran or retired servicemember making that their whole character, meanwhile, smacks of trying too hard to get over, or trying to relive glory days. It's one thing to have a few nods to past service or the commenters putting it over (as with Bobby Lashley, formerly in the Army), but even for those branches where they talk about how you're always one of them even after you leave ("There's no such thing as an ex-Marine"), to come out in full uniform to a military march is a bit like if Doink was billed as a *retired* clown who kept the costume and gags because he thought they were funny.

Sgt. Slaughter was really the only one who ever managed to get anything out of that gimmick, and a big part of it was the fact that he was so ENTIRELY that gimmick. His character was a drill sargeant, and he acted and talked like a drill sergeant. Most guys with the gimmick end up just acting and talking like regular tough guys. Any profession-as-wrestler is silly, but they do make it their CHARACTER. Recognizably, Doink acts like a clown. Recognizably, most military guys don't act like they're in the military, they just act like tough guys wearing fatigues.

[@Eidenhoek]

Doink as a retired clown would have been either hilarious or dark, what are you talking about?

[@UDAMZ]

Could Austin really have been as big in WCW if he wasn't fired?

[@radelta]

nope

[@UDAMZ]

And so it's hardly a missed opportunity for WCW. He might have never gotten that big push if Triple H wasn't being punished.

[@shawnmckahan165]

Love these video reviews

[@SamShadow93]

I personally don't think he could. WCW had a bad habit of giving all the older guys creative control and burying younger talent. He would've probably remained with the "Stunning Steve" gimmick and never reached his full potential.

[@happyChappy96621]

Not with hogan,nash and hall. They didn’t want anyone getting over expect themselves.

[@andymcfly]

“Wrestling needs more mirror spots.” Alexia bliss got you bruh

[@VeggieGamer]

20:55 Why can't anyone nowadays be anywhere near as good as Bobby XD LOVED this moment!

Cobra's theme=Morse Code for Lionel Richie's Dancin' on the Ceiling

[@at0micwerew0lf]

@Nob the Knave well...I want to believe it is, Nob. If we believe together it will be true whether its true or not.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

In Morse Code, Cobra's theme translates to: "THERE SHOULD BE COMMAS HERE"

[@Eidenhoek]

It's morse code for "S H I E LD"

[@tthomaselli2]

1:47:58-1:48:02.; I couldn't have said it, better. Great video, guys--as always.; I can't wait to see your next one.

[@TheArchersTungsten]

This episode is in my top 5 OSW shows. Hilarious

[@leonawlison7125]

Want are the other 4

[@mew888]

Is lockdown 2007 one of them?

[@RageyRage82]

Swagger's dad was Bunkhouse Buck, not Dirty Dick. Minor mistake I suppose.

[@BlackStarGabusGaben]

I wonder if Bray Wyatt looked at Kevin Sullivan, thought he could do his style of promos (albeit in a better, absorbing way) and said "Challenge accepted"

[@slipknot_santino7654]

R.I.P Mr. Wonderful 😔

[@elltell1990]

Broken Matt Hardy smacks of Dungeon of Doom Kevin Sullivan so much!

[@peteryoung08]

OSW you guys are the best, love your reviews. Keep up with the amazing work and you have the best theme song.

[@shawdawg3675]

Terry Richards at 35:20 or so is pre-Rhyno. A much, much better wrestler in time, than the Renegade.

[@snegsbegs]

I love the 15 minute top ten video thrown in the middle of the video

[@kmajorleague]

we should do an Imposter Kane arc. it’d be cool to see the lads react to 2005/6 RAW

[@MichaelSmith-fq6hz]

Jimmy Hart telling Renegade "you could have been Hogan" referenced Hogan billing him as, "the man who's gonna bring Hulkamania into the 21st century." They apparently had hoped that the gimmick would make the next Hogan.

[@at0micwerew0lf]

OSW is the BEST Wrestling channel on YT!! L&R from Pittsburgh, PA. USA

[@Am0ment0fB]

Fake Earl Hebner should have been on the list. Ha.

[@anthonyb7060]

The cartoon intro was great. Keep it up as that was extremely original

[@marccaselle8108]

I like the 92 wrestlewar footage at the end. Wrestlewar 92 was a a fun watch

[@A90skidAu]

dear lord the amount of video editing here is staggering! Tremendous work boys (and maybe girl?)

[@magesentron]

To answer your question about "do Irish people win with an Irish Whip?", is actually a great question! Danno O"Mahony did, along with quite a few other wrestlers. O'Mahony enjoyed fame in the 30's and helped to popularize the move.

[@neilcailey9020]

You just referenced my favourite movie of all time. G.I Joe the movie. Massive thank you.

[@champlainscrap6076]

These WCW episodes are fantastic. The best arc till now

[@thomasservo9231]

Saw Bojack Horseman for the 1st time last night. MARKED OUT like a 9-5 white sock humanoid when I saw the intro. I even hummed the "It was acceptable in the 80's" part. So worth it. You guys r the best.

[@SGTDave]

"Penultimate Warrior" Classic.
