Only 20 minutes in, but I had to pause to comment on the brilliance of OOC giving out about not being pushed hard enough in his efed. Brilliant. And Jay using his 'stroke' to get him a push is even better.
Fun fact.. the "last" episode of the Simpsons was written when the show first started.... they never expected to last even 2 years... let alone almost 30. The story was Homer would out himself as Krusty the Clown (this is why they are nearly twins).... having created Krusty to impress Bart to earn his love and admiration all long. This was obviously ret conned.. but was the idea.
I was surprised that no one shat on Heart of Darkness, not because it’s bad (it’s a fast read for the 19th century, some real Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Stephen Crane energy) but because these lads have bad taste in most things not wrestling related. Including not taking note of a wild Funaki in his natural environs.
37:20 the idea of Koji Kitao cutting a shoot promo about wrestling being fake and being serenaded by “Fire Russo” chants from a 1991 Japanese house show crowd is hysterical to me. underrated V1 line
I'm so glad you posted this. This was the first wrestling show I ever attended live. My little brother and I met the Hart Foundation, Hogan, Tenryu, and Kitao the night before. The next night after this show was the night Kitao tried to shoot on Earthquake Tenta and exposed the business in the ring before walking out and quitting. As for the reason that the Hart Foundation was in their heel gimmick here and other storylines aren't really being followed, it's because we got WWE TV in Japan but, at the time, it ran about 6 months behind what was airing in the States, so I assume there was some little bit of thought put toward maintaining a sense of continuity for the local audience. This was during a time when video rental stores would get tapes of PPVs in a couple months before the relevant storylines aired on our TV.
@@OSW I also remember watching Duggan throw punches and elbows with a full foot of open air between him and his guy. In my pre-adolescent mind, that meant he was on the take and threw his match. I had no doubt that the Yakuza was involved. LOL

Kerry von Erich's pill addictions sadly made him unreliable in the business, and eventually led to his tragic death. Flair talked about it in his book, and how Kerry in one match was so out of it he didn't even know what was happening
I think I remember Flair talking about that. Kerry had him on the ground in a back hammerlock, went to do the handstand knee to the shoulder and fricken fell backwards over Flair.
He lost his foot in an accident. He kept it a secret but if you watch his matches close you can tell. He kept the tassles on his boots to hide his ankle not bending properly.
The Von Eric family is a story of tragedy. It's still incredible that I never knew Texas tornado was an amputee until I saw the match where he lost his boot.
@@L1701 if im not mistaken...it was a bout against Lawler...and he pulled Kerrys boot off ...the match pretty much came to a stand sti for a sec...then Kerry grabs the boot...slides under the ring and puts it back on...Lawler still lookin stunned...while announcers no sold it
Randy Savage, came to my birthday with MS Elizabeth, and they were the 2 of the most down to earth people I have ever met!! They were the type of people that made you feel, like you known them all your life. Randy came with his championship belt and let me hold it and take pictures with it. They ate and the way they acted were like actual guest. They didn't act like they were doing us the favor by them showing up. They actually ate with us, and the ate and took cake home and savage swigged a few, they are truly great humble genuine people
The Koji Kitao v. Earthquake thing is bizarre until you look into Koji and find out he was also expelled from Sumo... and NJPW. His entire life reads like a drama where he is his own worst enemy.
@@Mitch97914 Koji could actually whoop someone's ass, only person worse than Koji was Akira Maeda. That guy almost killed Andre's career, destroyed Riki Chosu's orbital bone with an international stiff kick while his hands were occupied. Just an egotistical ass
Despite making Yokozuna he was regarded as the most shit Yokozuna there has been. Quake-muffin bowed out from sumo later due to his tattoo which would have required a skin graft to get rid of. Was undefeated when he left (and technically isn't undefeated cause some carnie booked him for 3 matches while Quake was on his way back to America and couldn't contend). But yeah Koji screwed Koji.
Gonna go on a limb and say this was your best of the 3 watchalongs: -the Questions worked in breaking up silence when nothing was currently going on with the match -Lots of splicey like a regular episode but the side to side was a nice touch so you could follow both screens -you guys seemed comfortable to be back in the Hogan Era instead of gritting your teeth/wincing like the Hardcore shows lol.
Hilarious that OOC says LOTR are the best movies in the last 20 years and then complains that Godfather 2 is too long lol Also, gangster movies (especially the ones named) do not glorify the mob. They are all about how broken and deranged the lifestyle is and how hypocritical the characters are.
although I guess that's the issue with the portrayal of almost everything: there will be at least some (and sometimes even: a lot of) people that will perceive it differently. I mean, "Scarface" literally is a tale about someone who loses his family and best friend and dies.... and yet is still glorified by a lot of stange people. (and it's also the reason some directors and studios are hesitant to depict any kind of sexual assault/rape in a movie... e.g. the rape scene from "The Accused" is also up on some porn streaming sites. and I'm pretty sure it's not for the reasons that the film intended it to be)
Remember Loch Ness when Haystacks came to WCW? I remember hearing about Giant Haystacks as a kid but had no idea it was the same person until many years later.
I remember Cody Rhodes coming out for a WrestleMania with that exact look. And his trunks were almost the exact colour of his skin tone, so from far away he looked like a naked ken doll
When you mentioned Sgt. Slaughter being old I decided to look him up. I was stunned to see that he was 42 at the time of this show. Even in the mid-80s I thought he was old. I'm now older than he was in 1991 and maybe I'm biased but I still think I look a good decade younger than he does then!
Sumo is not only about pushing, it demands a crap-tonne of strength to lift and shove these massive dudes out of the ring. They are also allowed to hit with an open fist and forearms and frequently headbutt each others, they are really damn tough. If you haven't checked out some sumo you really should check a couple of top division bouts, they really are something else.
True. Plus, these dudes are amazingly fast striker. Im pretty sure a yokozuna would decimate most boxers AND mma fighters in a sumo ring. These beast are formidable fighters.
I watched an average sized Englishman take on several large sized sumo wrestlers mostly successfully with judo and leverage. I was very impressed by the athleticism on display.
In defence of the Dan Severn vs Ken Shamrock match being nothing but grappling and a dull match, it was because the commission where they where fighting threaten to shut them down if any punching happened. This was during the dark age of MMA where the was thought of barbaric blood sport.
@@Bale4Bond dude I was at a friend's house a couple years ago and it was a UFC night. I turned it on and my friends neighbor is like "I just can't understand anyone wanting to watch two guys beat the shit out of each other". I'm like huh, well I mean it's been going on thousands of years.....
@@Bale4Bond you imply that MMA is a “barbaric blood sport”...... But I guarantee that more athletes have died or incurred severe damage as a direct result of competing, whether while competing or due to the effects of damage incurred / injury / drugs, in Professional Wrestling compared to MMA during the last 30 years (amount of time MMA has been around roughly’ So which one is more barbaric in the end?
Thanku guys, loved it, whatever it is for the next few episodes I can't wait. Congratulations on the run up to 100!! It's been amazing watching OSW progress, makes me really happy to see where it is today. The success is very well deserved. All the best to u 3, see u soon
Lisa's storyline with Bleedin Gums was a good arc in my opinion. I remember tearing up when he died n I still hum "Jazzman" every now n then. Also the Michael Jackson "Happy Birthday Lisa" episode. Not saying these episodes are on anyone's top 5 list, but they are heartfelt with some pretty good songs for your trouble.
They Live, Rocky 3, The Princess Bride, Indiana Jones, Road House, Highlander, The Dark Knight, Fury Road, to name but a few. All great films with wrestlers in them.
Day number 325 of falling asleep to OSW and waking up to this watch along. I have no idea why RUclips wants me back here, but its getting to the point of it being kind of comforting waking up and pretty much knowing that SWS vs WWF is going to be playing.
There’s actually been a good few for me… first was Katie Vick. Even at 10 years old, I knew that I just needed a bit of a break after that one. After that it was the exploration of eddies death leading up to the mysterio vs orton match. I loved eddie and was very effected by his death and to hear them, in my mind, make light of it for a feud didn’t sit right with me. Then it was cm punk losing the title bc of Kevin nash and a mitb cash in by noted scumbag Alberto del rio. He’ll in a cell 2019 finish and Aews exploding barbed wire death match round out the list. I put up with an awful lot of bullshit from this sport I’ll tell ya.
@@richardtherichard26 nah, my mind is twisted. I think they should have taken the Katie Vick angle further. Like have HHH say “i f’ed her brains out” and then eat the fake brain matter and spread it all over his body like war paint. And then wear a necklace full of Katie Vick’s bones to the ring. THAT would have been awesome.
You can see Macho is already shrinking in terms of muscle mass in his post match promo. I can see why he wanted to be off camera, but I loved that look. Compare him to WCW 2000 Macho.
@@michaelcapps8052 And it featured one of the greatest -- in my opinion -- one-on-one fight scenes on the big screen, with Keith David and the Hot Rod throwing down in the alley.
The story behind the Sean O'Haire character getting nixed was because apparently because he bombed his promos at a couple of house shows, and the character ended up getting nixed and they slotted Piper with him instead.
I just started this video, but I loved the Hardcore Homecoming watch along. You guys only hated it because you had to watch it, but that had a lot of the greatest moments. Funk shoulda taken the money, Sunny being fat, Scorpio's Dr Manhattan impression, the disappointing return of Cronos, New Jack twice because of V1 being racist, giving out about Mick Foley and then marking out for him, the list goes on.
The lads were chatting about V1's hilarious test of strength finisher at the moment, but if you watch around the 33:20ish part of the show, Earthquake gets shot into the ropes and clotheslined. Right after it seemed like Kitao is plotting a legitimate punch of some sort & Earthquake dodges it while giving him a knowing glance. Seems like there are a few moments in this match that set up the animosity that played out more the next show.
Thanks for only setting the reminder the same day. It's really, REALLY annoying to get a reminder in my sub box for a video that won't be available for two weeks. Fucking why? You boys are still the best.
Cmon it’s season 6!! Lemon tree, Marge the cop, “See my vest”, football in the groin, grandpas sex potion, Bart vs Australia, Homer the clown, Fark homer the great (that clinches it), “so you say you touched her can”, itchy and scratchy land! And yes Jay the best treehouse of all time 🥃
I used to do Roleplay boards back when I was 17 too. Though it was Romance of the Three Kingdoms and I wanted to be Liao Hua. To put it in wrestling terms, was going to get him over! However it was kinda hard considering everyone else were Sima Yi/Zhuge Liang/Zhou Yu's/ect and stats were based off of ROTK 7. I remember the guy running it kept asking if I was sure I didn't want to be someone else. XD "Taishi Ci is available" "I want Liao Hua!" "You can be Dian Wei?" "Nope, Liao Hua!"
Kabuki was the SWS booker. DiBiase is teaming with Haku because they were both big names in All Japan in the early 80s. Haku, like Quake, joined All Japan straight out of sumo and was trained there, him and Tenryu came up at more or less the same time and at one point he was the #4 guy on the babyface side in All Japan, so he always got elevated spots when he came back to Japan (he teamed with Jumbo Tsuruta on the 1990 show, for example).
Funny story about AJPW and sumo: they was grabbing so many people from sumo at a couple different points that they started playing little political games to try to make it look like they weren't directly stealing them, so that they could keep their relationship with the sumo association from getting too bad. In the 70s Takashi Ishikawa was originally signed to a freelance contract after they'd signed Tenryu and Tonga (Haku) directly. A decade later, Akira Taue was signed through JPW even though by that point almost everybody in JPW had returned to New Japan with Choshu and it basically only existed on paper.
Man i love that you guys show literally every single thing you mention in your videos on here. So awesome!! Every other RUclipsr that has watch alongs just talk or show tiny videos and you either can't see anything and have to watch the video along on a different device or you have to watch it annoyingly in a tiny screen at the bottom or top of the screen and it drives me CRAZY!!! This channel is amazing!! I'll definitely be liking, sharing and telling all my friends about you guys. Thanks so much for incredible old school pro wrestling coverage!!! 😁🤘🏾🇺🇸🤟
V1 spot on about how sad it is that there's not anything like a modern day Savage - noone absolutely so bizarre that you don't question why it works. There are likeable babyfaces and a few pouting heels but it's generally a wall of interchangeable beards and speedos.
@@patrickmoler8025 yeah, but he was more light on his feet: drop kick and all was more common back in the days. Same for Dino Bravo, who turned Hoss later.
1:29:00 Steve has probably never seen a Bas Rutten Pancrase match.. same gear brutal kicks and submissions just open hand strikes instead of closed fists. But yes this is a worked match in Pancrase style.
Great show. I love the idea of watching over rare WWF events. I would love to hear your commentary on Giant Baba & Andre vs Demolition. Not sure if it’s on the next SWS/ WWF or before (1990). Thank you!
This watch along was so much better than the hardcore ones. The questions were a great addition. I completely marked out when Blanchardstown was mentioned.
1:28:45 There was a fighting promotion called Pancreas, they wear basically tights and kick pads. They had a different set of rules which made it much more entertaining, they have amazing fights including Bas Rutten and Frank Shamrock, as well as his brother, former UFC champion and Former Intercontinental champion Ken Shamrock, who won the King of Pancreas, their top title. Look it up boys!
- Hearing Mr.OOC explain what the OOC means it's like watching Homer Simpson in heaven asking to God "What's the meaning of life?" and actually hearing the answer before the end of the episode! - 0% hyperbole.
Weird booking, having the Harts, who had already broken up as a team, going over the Rockers, who were still together. Eh, nobody in the US would know anyway.
Just wait for the third WWF/SWS show, where they awkwardly have the Rockers do a “dysfunctional team” gimmick to no crowd reaction after the Barbershop angle was filmed but before it aired.
I absolutely love V1's spiel about the gaming mags from back in the day, that's a strong memory for me. I used to waste half my paycheck buying those bad boys, and half my life reading them cover to cover! I also remember that sense of loss when I realized they weren't worth it anymore, was pretty gutted. Thanks for the memories lads 🥰

P.S. Fuck OOC for depriving us of Dub for ep 100.
i would watch an UFC Show if OOC just read about Mice and Men he whole Show
Kerry von Erich's pill addictions sadly made him unreliable in the business, and eventually led to his tragic death. Flair talked about it in his book, and how Kerry in one match was so out of it he didn't even know what was happening
Uh oh, mark alert lol
@@vargas1569 You're using the word wrong dumbass.
I think I remember Flair talking about that. Kerry had him on the ground in a back hammerlock, went to do the handstand knee to the shoulder and fricken fell backwards over Flair.
There's a Kerry vs Flair match where Kerry does a sunset flip on a man who isn't there.
He lost his foot in an accident. He kept it a secret but if you watch his matches close you can tell. He kept the tassles on his boots to hide his ankle not bending properly.
The Von Eric family is a story of tragedy.
It's still incredible that I never knew Texas tornado was an amputee until I saw the match where he lost his boot.
The Von Eric’s are doing some good work in mlw.
What match is that?
Guy was un-fuckin’-believable. And so goddamn sad, too.
How Kevin has remained sane considering all he’s suffered is beyond me.
@@L1701 if im not mistaken...it was a bout against Lawler...and he pulled Kerrys boot off ...the match pretty much came to a stand sti for a sec...then Kerry grabs the boot...slides under the ring and puts it back on...Lawler still lookin stunned...while announcers no sold it
Japanese Hogan is always a trip to watch.
Drop toe hold, and so much more!
Randy Savage, came to my birthday with MS Elizabeth, and they were the 2 of the most down to earth people I have ever met!! They were the type of people that made you feel, like you known them all your life. Randy came with his championship belt and let me hold it and take pictures with it. They ate and the way they acted were like actual guest. They didn't act like they were doing us the favor by them showing up. They actually ate with us, and the ate and took cake home and savage swigged a few, they are truly great humble genuine people
Did anyone look better than Mr. Perfect with the Intercontinental Championship around their waist?
Sherri Martel with only a Intercontinental Championship around her waist?
@@paulk6399
I'd buy that for a dollar!
@@paulk6399 I’d pay to see that.
It did look made for Hennig. Always thought Bret wore it well. The Winged Eagle title is the Bret belt in my mind.
The Koji Kitao v. Earthquake thing is bizarre until you look into Koji and find out he was also expelled from Sumo... and NJPW. His entire life reads like a drama where he is his own worst enemy.
He's a walking Lit song XD
So basically the Japanese Austin Aries 😂😂😂😂
@@Mitch97914 Koji could actually whoop someone's ass, only person worse than Koji was Akira Maeda.
That guy almost killed Andre's career, destroyed Riki Chosu's orbital bone with an international stiff kick while his hands were occupied. Just an egotistical ass
Despite making Yokozuna he was regarded as the most shit Yokozuna there has been. Quake-muffin bowed out from sumo later due to his tattoo which would have required a skin graft to get rid of. Was undefeated when he left (and technically isn't undefeated cause some carnie booked him for 3 matches while Quake was on his way back to America and couldn't contend). But yeah Koji screwed Koji.
@@NEEDbacon Thanks for the info...
Gonna go on a limb and say this was your best of the 3 watchalongs:
-the Questions worked in breaking up silence when nothing was currently going on with the match
-Lots of splicey like a regular episode but the side to side was a nice touch so you could follow both screens
-you guys seemed comfortable to be back in the Hogan Era instead of gritting your teeth/wincing like the Hardcore shows lol.
That OOC e-fed story is the greatest thing ever!
Hilarious that OOC says LOTR are the best movies in the last 20 years and then complains that Godfather 2 is too long lol
Also, gangster movies (especially the ones named) do not glorify the mob. They are all about how broken and deranged the lifestyle is and how hypocritical the characters are.
although I guess that's the issue with the portrayal of almost everything: there will be at least some (and sometimes even: a lot of) people that will perceive it differently.
I mean, "Scarface" literally is a tale about someone who loses his family and best friend and dies.... and yet is still glorified by a lot of stange people.
(and it's also the reason some directors and studios are hesitant to depict any kind of sexual assault/rape in a movie... e.g. the rape scene from "The Accused" is also up on some porn streaming sites. and I'm pretty sure it's not for the reasons that the film intended it to be)

Exhibit A. American fucking History X!!! So annoying....
As a yank, learning about Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks cracks me up.
Remember Loch Ness when Haystacks came to WCW? I remember hearing about Giant Haystacks as a kid but had no idea it was the same person until many years later.
Always enjoy the little retrospective bits, Jay. Good stuff.
I'm here for the OOC character development.
Even as a face in Japan , Hogan actually wrestled, but had a heel persona.
So, regular 90s Hulk Hogan then?
Hogan's always been like that. Rake and fo, euh, international objects he frequently used.
I’m with V1 on wrestlers who just wear trunks, small boots and no kneepads. They just look like they’re in their underpants and slippers.
It looks odd. The only person I'd never give out to about it, is Sazuki, because he'd obliterate me for even thinking it
I remember Cody Rhodes coming out for a WrestleMania with that exact look. And his trunks were almost the exact colour of his skin tone, so from far away he looked like a naked ken doll
Goddammit, i can't get over the "someone's dad" physique now
At least we know someone's dad won the match
😂
When you mentioned Sgt. Slaughter being old I decided to look him up. I was stunned to see that he was 42 at the time of this show. Even in the mid-80s I thought he was old. I'm now older than he was in 1991 and maybe I'm biased but I still think I look a good decade younger than he does then!
Even crazier, Earthquake is only 28 years old here..
I totally agree. I'm 42 and I feel I look 15 years younger than Slaughter. People just looked so much older back in the day. lol
@@RedFox0909 This is true. lol
Sumo is not only about pushing, it demands a crap-tonne of strength to lift and shove these massive dudes out of the ring. They are also allowed to hit with an open fist and forearms and frequently headbutt each others, they are really damn tough. If you haven't checked out some sumo you really should check a couple of top division bouts, they really are something else.
True.
Plus, these dudes are amazingly fast striker.
Im pretty sure a yokozuna would decimate most boxers AND mma fighters in a sumo ring.
These beast are formidable fighters.
I watched an average sized Englishman take on several large sized sumo wrestlers mostly successfully with judo and leverage. I was very impressed by the athleticism on display.
In defence of the Dan Severn vs Ken Shamrock match being nothing but grappling and a dull match, it was because the commission where they where fighting threaten to shut them down if any punching happened. This was during the dark age of MMA where the was thought of barbaric blood sport.
...which it is, while entertaining.
@@Bale4Bond dude I was at a friend's house a couple years ago and it was a UFC night. I turned it on and my friends neighbor is like "I just can't understand anyone wanting to watch two guys beat the shit out of each other". I'm like huh, well I mean it's been going on thousands of years.....
@@Bale4Bond you imply that MMA is a “barbaric blood sport”......
But I guarantee that more athletes have died or incurred severe damage as a direct result of competing, whether while competing or due to the effects of damage incurred / injury / drugs, in Professional Wrestling compared to MMA during the last 30 years (amount of time MMA has been around roughly’
So which one is more barbaric in the end?
This was a lovely listen, would love some more q&a/ shooting the shit, we need the entire lore of your e-fed and bounce fed
11:35 "He'll never live it down." Well he can't... anymore. I'm so sorry.
🤭
Thanku guys, loved it, whatever it is for the next few episodes I can't wait. Congratulations on the run up to 100!! It's been amazing watching OSW progress, makes me really happy to see where it is today. The success is very well deserved. All the best to u 3, see u soon
Lisa's storyline with Bleedin Gums was a good arc in my opinion. I remember tearing up when he died n I still hum "Jazzman" every now n then. Also the Michael Jackson "Happy Birthday Lisa" episode. Not saying these episodes are on anyone's top 5 list, but they are heartfelt with some pretty good songs for your trouble.
They Live, Rocky 3, The Princess Bride, Indiana Jones, Road House, Highlander, The Dark Knight, Fury Road, to name but a few.
All great films with wrestlers in them.
Stretchin’ it a little with Rocky 3, but the rest I’ll grant, even if I’m not so hot on the Dark Knight either.
Devils Rejects (DDP)
What wrestler was in Indiana Jones and the dark knight?
Guardians of the Galaxy movies with Bautista are pretty damn entertaining too
OOC earned even more points from me
1. That e wrestling story made me laugh so hard my face hurt
2. I also think Randys first song was god tier
Day number 325 of falling asleep to OSW and waking up to this watch along.
I have no idea why RUclips wants me back here, but its getting to the point of it being kind of comforting waking up and pretty much knowing that SWS vs WWF is going to be playing.
Q: “What storyline made me stop watching WWE?”
A: the computer GM on Raw. That was beyond awful.
Q: what was worse then that?
A: the payoff with Hornswoggle!
Q:what was worse then that?
A: when they brought it back for the shitty Authority angle!🤮
There’s actually been a good few for me… first was Katie Vick. Even at 10 years old, I knew that I just needed a bit of a break after that one.
After that it was the exploration of eddies death leading up to the mysterio vs orton match. I loved eddie and was very effected by his death and to hear them, in my mind, make light of it for a feud didn’t sit right with me.
Then it was cm punk losing the title bc of Kevin nash and a mitb cash in by noted scumbag Alberto del rio.
He’ll in a cell 2019 finish and Aews exploding barbed wire death match round out the list. I put up with an awful lot of bullshit from this sport I’ll tell ya.
@@richardtherichard26 nah, my mind is twisted. I think they should have taken the Katie Vick angle further. Like have HHH say “i f’ed her brains out” and then eat the fake brain matter and spread it all over his body like war paint. And then wear a necklace full of Katie Vick’s bones to the ring. THAT would have been awesome.
You can see Macho is already shrinking in terms of muscle mass in his post match promo. I can see why he wanted to be off camera, but I loved that look. Compare him to WCW 2000 Macho.
Geez I remember 2000 WCW macho.
Gassed up Mach was awesome
2000 macho was not taking bumps like he used to and he was SO BIG!
Favorite movie with a wrestler in it? Rowdy Roddy Piper in 'They Live'.
By far the best and one of my absolute favorites
@@michaelcapps8052 And it featured one of the greatest -- in my opinion -- one-on-one fight scenes on the big screen, with Keith David and the Hot Rod throwing down in the alley.
2:34:30 “They won’t pop for a wrestler coming out, it’s very strange”
(Hogan enters to big pop)
V1 always says some dumb crap
The story behind the Sean O'Haire character getting nixed was because apparently because he bombed his promos at a couple of house shows, and the character ended up getting nixed and they slotted Piper with him instead.
Ok not an Irish lad but having lived in Idaho the US potato capitol I relate to the guys with their potato talk
Let fly the spuds of war.
@wulpurgis kinda bear is that?
Didn't expect Blackpool to get a mention here!
Did you know? We're from Dublin (in Irish it's dubh lind or black pool!) Useless knowledge. You've read it, you can't unread it!
Great American Bash 98 for episode 100. A perfect card
Loved hearing the origin of OOC incredible story and Jay I used the same finisher back in the day I called it the Dean Device bahaha
I just started this video, but I loved the Hardcore Homecoming watch along. You guys only hated it because you had to watch it, but that had a lot of the greatest moments. Funk shoulda taken the money, Sunny being fat, Scorpio's Dr Manhattan impression, the disappointing return of Cronos, New Jack twice because of V1 being racist, giving out about Mick Foley and then marking out for him, the list goes on.
The lads were chatting about V1's hilarious test of strength finisher at the moment, but if you watch around the 33:20ish part of the show, Earthquake gets shot into the ropes and clotheslined. Right after it seemed like Kitao is plotting a legitimate punch of some sort & Earthquake dodges it while giving him a knowing glance. Seems like there are a few moments in this match that set up the animosity that played out more the next show.
That's a great catch
Earthquake was awesome. I wish he had trimmed down a little because I think it would have put him over the top with his talent.
A great Lisa episode is Season 5, episode 14. Lisa vs Malibu Stacy. Plus a pretty good Grandpa story line as well
Thanks for only setting the reminder the same day. It's really, REALLY annoying to get a reminder in my sub box for a video that won't be available for two weeks. Fucking why? You boys are still the best.
MAFFEW
Cmon it’s season 6!!
Lemon tree, Marge the cop, “See my vest”, football in the groin, grandpas sex potion, Bart vs Australia, Homer the clown, Fark homer the great (that clinches it), “so you say you touched her can”, itchy and scratchy land! And yes Jay the best treehouse of all time 🥃
I used to do Roleplay boards back when I was 17 too.
Though it was Romance of the Three Kingdoms and I wanted to be Liao Hua. To put it in wrestling terms, was going to get him over!
However it was kinda hard considering everyone else were Sima Yi/Zhuge Liang/Zhou Yu's/ect and stats were based off of ROTK 7. I remember the guy running it kept asking if I was sure I didn't want to be someone else. XD
"Taishi Ci is available" "I want Liao Hua!" "You can be Dian Wei?" "Nope, Liao Hua!"
My main man was Sun ce.😉
I love the way the Japanese interviewers have to struggle not to laugh at the shouty American promos
“Hai!”
I actually miss that stuff
"Bye"
Lovely timing on The Hurt Business praise, lads.
that Taker/Hardy ladder match is one of my favorite matches and ladder matches of all time.
"you'd probably give me the length" is an early contender for a golden nogger 😂
Kabuki was the SWS booker.
DiBiase is teaming with Haku because they were both big names in All Japan in the early 80s. Haku, like Quake, joined All Japan straight out of sumo and was trained there, him and Tenryu came up at more or less the same time and at one point he was the #4 guy on the babyface side in All Japan, so he always got elevated spots when he came back to Japan (he teamed with Jumbo Tsuruta on the 1990 show, for example).
Funny story about AJPW and sumo: they was grabbing so many people from sumo at a couple different points that they started playing little political games to try to make it look like they weren't directly stealing them, so that they could keep their relationship with the sumo association from getting too bad. In the 70s Takashi Ishikawa was originally signed to a freelance contract after they'd signed Tenryu and Tonga (Haku) directly. A decade later, Akira Taue was signed through JPW even though by that point almost everybody in JPW had returned to New Japan with Choshu and it basically only existed on paper.
Man i love that you guys show literally every single thing you mention in your videos on here. So awesome!! Every other RUclipsr that has watch alongs just talk or show tiny videos and you either can't see anything and have to watch the video along on a different device or you have to watch it annoyingly in a tiny screen at the bottom or top of the screen and it drives me CRAZY!!! This channel is amazing!! I'll definitely be liking, sharing and telling all my friends about you guys. Thanks so much for incredible old school pro wrestling coverage!!! 😁🤘🏾🇺🇸🤟
Cheers for the kind words mate! Glad you're digging the vids 🙂
I would pay extra on Patreon for Wrestlelicious watchalongs
Find me DVDs of Wrestlicious and we'll cover it! Can't find it anywhere besides low quality youtube clips.
@@OSW I'll try my best!
@@OSW I did some digging around (and sent you a tweet about it) but I found that 6 episodes were officially uploaded on Fite.tv in 720p
Mildly surprised Tenta didn't do his promo in Japanese
Not going to lie lads, when I heard Perfect’s theme start playing, my head immediately went to Shawn Stasiak coming out instead
The Perfect One!
It was clearly (and legally) a different entrance theme, no cue how you can get the two mixed up
I still like the watch along format. It can basically replace the Q & A sessions while having a bit of wrestling on screen to talk about.
Happy Easter to the OSW universe!!!
All Eggs are in the Pocket
V1 spot on about how sad it is that there's not anything like a modern day Savage - noone absolutely so bizarre that you don't question why it works. There are likeable babyfaces and a few pouting heels but it's generally a wall of interchangeable beards and speedos.
Absolutely love the episode, it felt like I was actually sitting in a room with friends for once.
How ya doin? Did you just mean because of the pandemic? Hope you're doing well in any event.
I’ve been trying to do Savages 1,2,3 fingers for like 10 minutes now. Impossible
Somebody call Ted Rogers!
So cool! I can do it tho. That will be how I'll count to three from now on.
HONK! Yes, I want to see the other Japan show!! Seeing this Hogan Japanese persona fascinates me...
Buzzing for this, needed some cheering up. Thanks lads!
Little known fact, Tiger Mask has been asked to be in the WWE Hall of Fame for years but he refuses to travel by plane at all for anything!
You can take a boat to America, no?
That Tombstone was off the chain Damn
haku was a good worker.
i follow him since his run with " la lutte internationale".
He was built back then too.
@@patrickmoler8025 yeah, but he was more light on his feet: drop kick and all was more common back in the days. Same for Dino Bravo, who turned Hoss later.
Lisa did have some great episodes: Lisa the vegetarian, Lisa the Beauty Queen, Lisa's Date with Density, Lisa's Wedding.
1:29:00 Steve has probably never seen a Bas Rutten Pancrase match.. same gear brutal kicks and submissions just open hand strikes instead of closed fists. But yes this is a worked match in Pancrase style.
Thanks OSW for the mention, the video have returned. 😃
Wrestling With Paul LIVES! Wonderful news mate! Keep kicking ass 🍻
Bob Slaughter is bumping his ass off and this match with Warrior is a perfect Japanese heavyweight gaijin beatdown!
Definitely didn't expect them to steal the show!
Fucking hell lads the Alan Partridge questions segment was amazing. I was laughing my ass off during a game of Day of Defeat.
Great show. I love the idea of watching over rare WWF events. I would love to hear your commentary on Giant Baba & Andre vs Demolition. Not sure if it’s on the next SWS/ WWF or before (1990). Thank you!
This watch along was so much better than the hardcore ones. The questions were a great addition. I completely marked out when Blanchardstown was mentioned.
1:28:45 There was a fighting promotion called Pancreas, they wear basically tights and kick pads. They had a different set of rules which made it much more entertaining, they have amazing fights including Bas Rutten and Frank Shamrock, as well as his brother, former UFC champion and Former Intercontinental champion Ken Shamrock, who won the King of Pancreas, their top title. Look it up boys!
Think Randy Cotoure may have participated in a few pancreas bouts too
PANCRASE! I'm not going to find Ken Shamrock in my insulin.
This is fantastic.. Thank U!! Savage looked Fantastic!!
I started watching Simpsons just to get these references and it was well worth it.
Love the change of pace. Good listening to you boys having a craic.
Best Simpsons episode is Lisa's Rival. Homer's sugar rant is beautiful.
- Hearing Mr.OOC explain what the OOC means it's like watching Homer Simpson in heaven asking to God "What's the meaning of life?" and actually hearing the answer before the end of the episode!
- 0% hyperbole.
Weird booking, having the Harts, who had already broken up as a team, going over the Rockers, who were still together. Eh, nobody in the US would know anyway.
Just wait for the third WWF/SWS show, where they awkwardly have the Rockers do a “dysfunctional team” gimmick to no crowd reaction after the Barbershop angle was filmed but before it aired.
I absolutely love V1's spiel about the gaming mags from back in the day, that's a strong memory for me.
I used to waste half my paycheck buying those bad boys, and half my life reading them cover to cover! I also remember that sense of loss when I realized they weren't worth it anymore, was pretty gutted.
Thanks for the memories lads 🥰
Best movie with a Wrestler for me is They Live with Roddy Pipet
I prefer Roddy Beaker
Princess Bride with Andre the Giant
This was a fun watch! Hope you guys do more!
My question made it on!! Lol Holy shit! Cheers boys!
Had to leave an Easter party early to go to work at midnight. Thanks for this guys it's making work palatable.
