[@ryanl.9341]

Okay, I have a feeling I simply missed the initial reference & reasoning, but where did you (read: OSW) find/comeup with the "Happy days are here again" tagline? I thought maybe it was an inside joke or obscure reference to something I'm unfamiliar with, but just the other day, listening to a Lapsed Fan podcast on Wrestlemania 9, they referenced a Wrestlemania book (or was it the True Story of Wrestlemania documentary?) where it was written someone witnessed Vince McMahon run out, joyously embrace, and proclaim that now infamous quotation to The Immortal Hulk Hogan, who was doing a run-through of his hot-dogging routine that would occur following his pathetic, back-handed theft of the Championship over Yoko later that night. Is this the true origin story guys?

@@danishhald It is _Stranger Things_ for they basically used the series' intro & font face, complete with the memorable, synthesized theme music.

[@roetheboat1]

Worst part of it, at least to me, is that Savage likely didn't even realize what was going on until Hogan was in his face shouting about how he (Hogan) had been cheated out of winning HIS belt. I applaud Savage for not snapping right then and there to batter Hogan.

Especially since WCW fans liked a different kind of wrestling. They didn't go in so much for this cartoony good guys vs bad guys thing the WWF did, they preferred their wrestling a touch more series and a touch more realistic. I'm sure many WCW fans were initially thrilled they signed the biggest star in the business, but I'm sure seeing him beat Flair for the belt in his first match soured a lot of people. Him running roughshod over the company for the next 7 years didn't ingratiate him to them.

This is my favorite review on this channel. The guys taking the piss out of the 3 rings and The Yeti just cracks me up so much.

[@ReinEngel]

Early Kimberly, before she got the Nitro girl gig, was ridiculously underrated in terms of beauty. She's superior to the supermodels of the time, like Cindy Crawford and Kathy Ireland. No one in the sports world, not even Sunny, could compete. Her gimmick, that of a innocent, girly girl cheerleader didn't help matters any. Anyway, I was there and have absolutely no recollection of the Duggan/Boss match.

[@hgonz14]

Rein Engel she was gorgeous to be sure. She looked even hotter when she was heel with those outfits she used to wear. Which is why in WWE when DDP was stalking Taker’s horse faced wife made 0 sense as he was still married to Kimberly. It’s like eating a prime steak but stalking a McDouble .

The Lucha Brothers and Pac pretty much cover this. Pac is heel, Penta is tweener and Fenix is face. But you're right, in the specific way it's being done, it would be interesting.

Seeing Broken Sword in this review brought a smile to my face, classic game!!!

[@TheTopTurnchuckle]

The more Lex is remembered like this, the more I wish he replaced Hogan altogether. Putting Bret over after Wrestlemania IX, starring in No Holds Barred, leaving Macho the f’ alone. he was our hero.

[@Brian-on8kb]

😂😂😂😂😂 jeff Jarretts guitar pooter...lol

[@zacharybell9782]

Regal @1:11:07 is simply amazing!

[@TheGreatDevlin]

The number of times of said "observe this, brother" and called something a rag sheet because of this show 😂

[@mr420socko]

love me some Flair! stylin and a profilin! Whooooooo!

[@hakumeng316]

"600 paid" was the best

[@joshmaddog8369]

subbed/bell'd/shared with friends and enemies!! there are tons of great wrestling channels but OSW is my new favorite. thanks for the rad content!! yinz are grrrrreat!!

[@Hammerhead547]

Technically speaking this wasn't the first 60 man battle royal to ever happen. Jerry Jarrett held a 60 man battle royal in a single ring that was 30 foot square in memphis in the 1970's, the match only happened once.

[@paulk6399]

A 30 foot square ring? Can you elaborate a little? If it’s 30 square foot ring, that’s tiny, roughly 5.5x5.5 ring A ring that’s 30x30 would be MONSTEROUS

[@Hammerhead547]

@@paulk6399 According to jim cornette the ring was 30X30 and was "hard as concrete". Apparently a bunch of guys got hurt and pretty much everyone complained about how hard the ring was so jarrett never did it again.

[@paulk6399]

@@Hammerhead547 30x30 is insane, I would love to see a ring that size By comparison, WWE uses 20x20

[@pauldavis6232]

That is how to do World War 3, a gimmick mega sized ring that comes out once a year. One ring, not three at once.

[@MichaelSmith-fq6hz]

Knowing Jarrett, everyone not named Lawler made about 3.50 from that match,

[@markdurning9718]

Hokuto's get up looks more like a Fry's Turkish Delight.

[@zumzum74]

The shot of Hogan's Observer awards kills me every time I see it. At the same time he's winning 10 straight "best babyface" awards and 6 total "most charismatic" awards, he nabs "least favorite wrestler" and "most overrated" 3 times each, and a "worst worked match" and "worst feud" on the way out. Wrestling fans have no idea what they want or what they're talking about.

[@JennaLeigh]

While I agree that wrestling fans only THINK they know what they want, my guess is that Hogan was just incredibly polarizing, even at the apex of his "good guy" powers. In the 80's thru the mid 90's fans were fooled by his schtick..... The only ones who wouldn't buy his BS in this era would be your early internet users, the tape trader types- i.e. the kinda guys who sub to WON and hang on Tuna Meltzer's every word. To each their own.🤷🏻

[@marcespinoza6068]

He won the positive awards mostly early on and the negative ones as fans grew tired of his schtick.

[@bloodanddajugs]

Getting to that painful level where I am getting tired of rewatching the pay per views but need to hear the OSW boys review.

[@ivanmarkovic7459]

same here lol

[@jrlonergan6773]

Agreed

[@EmmaBonn96]

This has gotta be one of my favorite OSW reviews Jim Duggan going to Ireland Cutie Suzuki Johnny B Badd vs DDP Observe this brother So much great stuff

[@sioreiily585]

1:11:08 William Regal is just the best.

[@Unotuchable]

It's weird that Ozaki was so sloppy when she had multiple 5 star matches in 1993

[@SuperDevolution]

Hear me out on this one. Maybe, just maybe, Meltzer is a little too generous with Japanese wrestling.

[@paulk6399]

Gotta love how people fawn over a rating system determined by literally one person I remember a few months ago there was a Twitter war between two wrestlers (Osprey and Seth Rollins iirc) and Meltzer interjected and said Osprey was better because he had more 5/6 star matches. He is using his arbitrary and biased review system to settle legacy arguments lol

[@pauldavis6232]

Dave Meltzer has turned the wrestlers into marks. Twitter has killed so much mystique in the wrestlers and it is a shame.

[@BigFellaThx]

I mean it is an 8 minute tag match in a foreign country where nobody is used to women's wrestling so I can't imagine they were too worried about how tight the work was. Like there was no way we were gonna get Kansai/Ozaki vs Toyota/Yamada 2 out of 3 falls match that lasts over 25 minutes. They probably knew they could work a less intense style than they would at a show that was in Japan

[@BigFellaThx]

@@SuperDevolution I don't really care that much about what Meltzer rates matches but those tag matches with Ozaki and Dynamite Kansai vs Manami Toyota and Toshiyo Yamada are legit some of the best tag matches of all time

[@mrsain19]

As a kid I had hella 60 man battle royals. with all of my WWF and WCW action figures......the avengers, the X-Men, the villians, the super friends, and the legion of doom. and the new adventures of He-man dolls. only there could I get cross promotion matches such as Hogan and black batman vs doctor octopus and arn Anderson lol. my battle bowls and tourneys were gold too.

[@timbohknecht7412]

Going back again to the birthplace of V1's Irish Coffee. Who'd have thought Duggan would leave such a legacy.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Isn't "Pomp and Circumstance" a public domain song? It's incredibly old and it's played at every school graduation in America. Why does Macho go with the whammy guitar version in WCW when he could've used the same version he used in WWF without worry of a lawsuit?

[@TheSolarKhan]

Watching this again in honor of 1 million views. Happy Days are here again!

[@stephenmcshane546]

love the intro lads & awesome work as always cans of coke all round was that Big trouble in little China??

[@Lightspeeds]

stephen mc shane no stranger things.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

No. It's Stranger Things. Netflix's original thriller-horror by the Duffer Bros. seemingly using the template of 90's "sister series" _Eerie, Indiana_ kind of as its premise, however set in the 80's, complete with a bevy of nostalgic callbacks from that time period.

[@Terror_Van]

Great series guys, I love each and every episode.
