The reason Jimmy Del Ray didnt do his gyrations in the parking garage is because he knew if he did, Pamela would go off script because she wouldn't be able to control her lust. Jimmy did that dorky wave because he didn't want to ruin the shot even though he new he could if he wanted to. JDR is truly worthy of the OSW HOF. WHAT A PROFESSIONAL!
I actually thought about watching Royal Rumble 95 but then I was like nah osw is better. I can't tell you how many times I want to watch an old pay-per-view on the network and I'll just watch osw instead.
There was some shitty giicks in 95 but I liked over all,. And i liked issac yankeem, jean pieere lafite, golduzt, qwang, duke drose,. I didn't like mantaur or man mountain rock
@@tylerlittleton6583 And it's also as if Macho knew that Hogan no-sells finishers, so the only way to rejuvenate Hogan was with his signature flying elbow.
Lex saying he is "sick and tired of being a contender here in the WWF" seems like a good slip considering he jumped ship to Nitro for less than what he was making in WWF, a deal Eric Bishoff expected him to turn down and was amazed he didn't.
@@na2898 Do people call you a chip mark when you cite your extensive knowledge of Doritos? I hope you call another student a mark next time they answer a question in class. That'd be great.
A good next story arc would be that awkward carny era of WCW when Kevin Nash played a wizard, Big Josh brought live bears to the ring and Robocop saved Sting from a horseman beatdown. >__>
I was just thinking about this, and wondering if there wasn't some way to hype this up as the big match they desperately wished it could be. Aaaaaand... no. You can't. IRS can not be built up to be anything on par with Undertaker. It just doesn't work.
Here comes the part where I be one of "those people." The Grave Digger monster truck has zero connections to the Undertaker except there is a cool photo out there somewhere where Taker introduced the truck at a show (as you referenced). The Grave Digger truck has been around since the 70s HOWEVER (as you showed) there was an official WWF Undertaker truck that ran a few events in the 90s. BRUCIE BONUS 1: WCW had a few monster trucks as well, and not just the two ran for Halloween Havoc sumo! Sting, Goldberg, Madusa, the nWo and Monday Nitro all had their own trucks in 2000. Once the WCW license was gone, Madusa (who drove her own truck) bought the licensing and continued running it for the next 15 years! (Double Bonus: Monster Jam Maximum Destruction, a monster truck themed Twisted Metal clone on the PS2 is technically the last game to feature a WCW license before the WWF buyout) BRUCIE BONUS 2: There were several planned team trucks for the Undertaker one, including Bret Hart, British Bulldog and others but none ever were made. The Undertaker truck would later be used as Stone Cold's Austin 3:16 truck used to run over The Rock's car on Raw!
Grave Digger was Randy Savage to Big Foot's Hulk Hogan in the 80's and early 90's era of Monster Trucks. But Grave Digger outlasted him and is now the top draw. Would you to like to watch Sergent Slaughter have a tug of war match with a monster truck and star in a music video where he has a shredding guitar solo? ruclips.net/video/H8_i2l0JR4c/видео.html
As a southern boy, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving out about that before me. You articulated all my moaning so much better than my drunk ass would of.
Fun fact: to get monster trucks into arenas, they just put regular tires on them and then swap them out for the big ones once they’re inside. It’s actually pretty funny looking.
I truly needed an OSW episode right now. I hope you lads know how much you mean to the fans the content you put out has always put a smile on my face thank you all for the great work.
@@vcom741 He had a couple of great matches with Bret, you should go watch them. He also had a rarely talked about gem with Undertaker in Japan I'm 97 when Taker was champion.
@@vcom741 one good ppv match and one on Raw. add the SummerSlam match against Kid and that's basically all he did of note during his brief run. I guess it's not like he wasn't good (although at least during his WWF run he also wasn't great in the Michaels/Owen and Bret Hart sense, so he didn't carry less talented guys to worthwhile matches), but he hardly didn't have the right guys to work with.
I was on the floor laughing during the Little Bitch segment. Thanks again for being a bright light in a dark period of time - I can always count on OSW to cheer me right up after another week of dispiriting job seeking.
Here is the thing... 1-2-3/Lightning/Whatever Kid was actually like... OVER, which is so hard to do in the New Gen. So why oh why Vince did you make Mr. Waltman such a kayfabe bitch? Like, the longer these reviews go and the more I re-watch for myself the more I realize that the WWE has a bad habit of succeeding despite itself.
@@andrejg4136 I can only assume Vince was trying to turn LB's weakness on promos ("hopefully we'll win") into his character. But yeah it just doesn't work.
My favorite part of this arc is how excited you all were to extend it to WM11 and how the excitement has been eroded more and more as we get further into the pit that is 1994-95 WWF.
He's spot on about "Do It For Her" i tear up every time i see it now. Totally differnt meaning as an adult with a kid compared to when I myself was a kid....
Although they both should have had more ring time, I am sure both backlund and Owen were delighted with their payday considering how little they had to actually wrestle!!
I thought it was interesting how they essentially sacrificed two good workers (Owen and Backlund) in order to get over Bret's increase in aggression. Also funny how Bam Bam and Tatanka wrestled one year and tagged the next.
Unreal, like. Even though the average talent level of the roster today is orders of magnitude higher than '95, it's _still_ hard to find matches where the wrestlers look as, as you say, crisp and clean in everything they do as Bret (and he often had dross on the other side to _also_ try to make look like... not dross). I watched Cody vs. Seth I recently, which was a _relatively_ Hart-esque technical match between two seriously big names of the current era and even _that_ looked pretty sloppy at times compared to what Bret could do week-in-week-out. Something about the booking or that in NXT seems to produce cleaner technical bouts more often but, even then, getting to Bret's average level isn't super-common and, as for Bret vs. Owen I? Forget about it. Sami vs. Nakamura at NXT Takeover Dallas has _bits_ that are getting there (actually shocked me a bit because, while Nakamura's a legend, even as a massive Sami and KO mark, I had no idea he was capable of operating at that kind of level when the chains of his underdog status in WWE proper are off) but I wouldn't say consistently.
I think it's hilarious that the Raw ring girl has had a more successful political career than Linda McMahon. Also, the Blu Brothers were like the most untalented people who for some reason always had a job.
@giftofgab247 His gimmick was ridiculous, but the guy could've been great had he not been Vince'd. Back then though one could stand up to Vince and tell him no(just look at Stone Cold/Ringmaster), but I guess Adam didn't have the balls to do it, or an idea to replace it with.
I thought he was badass as Wrath when I was a kid, thinking he was gonna have a big feud with Goldberg but than wcw did there typical shit booking and killed it. He was just too green in WWF.
I said this a few episodes ago, but I still don't understand why IRS never used the line "the only thing more certain than death... is taxes!" in his feud with The Undertaker. Like, how the hell do you miss that?
I’m not gonna lie I love it every time a new episode turns up on here. I’ve actually stopped watching wresting and simple watch these bad boys now! Keep up the good work boys❤️
Thanks in no small part to you lads I have been re watching seasons 1-10 of the Simpsons for the first time in decades and you know what, it really was one of the best shows of all time. I can't wait to watch it with my kids one day so I can still be making simpson's references until I'm as senile as Abe Simpson
Disgusting! I know that the laws in the US don't forbid the usage of the swastika and the SS-runes (ad opposed to here in Germany) but still: If someone shows up with that shit at your show just send him home. I hate the fact that these guys were allowed to compete in the WWF.
I’ve come to appreciate so much of wrestling’s history (from wwf/wwe, wcw, ECW and even more) from watching these guys. I wouldn’t know 90% of wrestling if it wasn’t from them. But they make it so fun to watch and learn
LT is famous here in America for being not only one the top 5 greatest football players ever to play the game, but also for being out of his mind on coke the entire time!
I think it was because the entire show was pretty packed with real matches and it was going long. From everything we've heard, Pamela Anderson was great here and WM10 and was far from a diva unlike many WWF guests. She showed up willing to be very patient and do whatever they asked of her. Same with LT.
a 45m+ Rumble with the baseline talent they had in the WWE at the time might have actually killed someone in the crowd due to boredom. Like induce so much apathy their bodies would have just shut down.
Omg I'm so glad I found this gem, you boys are fkn hilarious, and I love me some 90's wrastlin , born in 84' so I like to think I grew up in the greatest generation of WWE.
I wish I could remember the first time I heard the "What sound does 300 lbs of shit hitting the ring make - KWANG" joke because I say it in my head and laugh EVERY time I see him
Added notes on Dick Murdoch. He was a former WWE Tag champion with Adrian Adonis. 1 reign 279 days. And not coincidentally he was trained by Killer Karl Kox. Which may be where the whole Klan thing started
35:06 "Brett's wearing mismatched denims. Like jeans & a top that are different tones." Oh Canada... the world appreciates your contributions to humanity.
The 95 rumble is a good example of using what you have and making the best out of a bad situation. The roster was very thin at the time but they were smart enough to keep two of the most established stars they had in the ring for the entire time so there was some interest in the match at all times. I don’t know why they had Owen and backlaund get eliminated so quickly though
@@Bubba__Sawyer My theory on Owen in particular is that, as I only three-quarters-jokingly said in another comment every single booker somehow forgot they had a Rumble to... book until it was announced and they realised their best bet (along with basically just making it HBK vs. Bulldog) was to book Owen to be eliminated early because they didn't have time to come up with enough ideas to actually use him. Seriously, though, what an insane choice. Owen, in particular, could have been relied upon to inject some much-needed excitement into what was mostly... nothing. Don't get me wrong, Backlund's obviously exceptionally skilled but his style probably doesn't work _as_ well for a crowded Rumble.
Hmm, convienant that they might completely skip over the disappearance of Tatanka. V1 is probably gonna keep del Ray in his stable and never have the shoe drop when he realizes Tatanka was suspended from the WWE for sexual assault charges that were dropped when it was proven Jimmy Del Ray was the culprit. Was really looking forward to that shoe drop tbh
@@jackspence6061 no because Paul was huge in his last run in the WWE, when Taker was feuding with Paul Heyman, The Dudley's, JBL & Heidenrich, and the urn was on the small scale. I believe this urn was huge just so people knew it was urn.
I live in Bradenton,Fl where that Raw was it was crazy they had fans actually wearing a few wcw shirts etc that were turned away even at this time.Love you guys keep up the amazing work!

Back then though one could stand up to Vince and tell him no(just look at Stone Cold/Ringmaster), but I guess Adam didn't have the balls to do it, or an idea to replace it with.
I'm with you. I'm an Adam Bomb mark, and even liked him and Crush in KroniK (when in WCW - not the WWE Cup of Coffee).
@deathsChemist I feel that's the main issue with Bomb. he looks great .... and that's all there is.
I was a pretty young wrestling fan when he debuted, but I thought he looked great, and its a cool name. I didn't get why he went nowhere.
I thought he was badass as Wrath when I was a kid, thinking he was gonna have a big feud with Goldberg but than wcw did there typical shit booking and killed it. He was just too green in WWF.
The '' You think you're special '' joke will always make me laugh
Lex Luger took a look around in the middle of the Royal Rumble and said “These guys suck. I need to call Sting.”
yep.
😂😂 he was sick and tired of being a contender in the wwf
Good thing he didnt try cuttin a promo bout it tho
I said this a few episodes ago, but I still don't understand why IRS never used the line "the only thing more certain than death... is taxes!" in his feud with The Undertaker.
Like, how the hell do you miss that?
I’m not gonna lie I love it every time a new episode turns up on here. I’ve actually stopped watching wresting and simple watch these bad boys now!
Keep up the good work boys❤️
Hope ya enjoyed it brah! Grab some coffin-shaped donuts and LETS-A GOOOOO
Thanks in no small part to you lads I have been re watching seasons 1-10 of the Simpsons for the first time in decades and you know what, it really was one of the best shows of all time. I can't wait to watch it with my kids one day so I can still be making simpson's references until I'm as senile as Abe Simpson
Never thought that we'd get both Nazis and the KKK in a Royal Rumble match.
Historic?
Based.
Whoever loses, we win.
"The fuckin Nazis were fuckin over in fuckin 1995."

Disgusting! I know that the laws in the US don't forbid the usage of the swastika and the SS-runes (ad opposed to here in Germany) but still: If someone shows up with that shit at your show just send him home. I hate the fact that these guys were allowed to compete in the WWF.
Probably every NWA-territory battle royal before 1985 had at least one KKK member participating.
Jesus Christ. The state of these buildings for Raw. As a kid I never grasped how tiny they were. They look like high school gymnasiums.
Undertaker and irs should have been a tag team called “death and taxes”
I’ve come to appreciate so much of wrestling’s history (from wwf/wwe, wcw, ECW and even more) from watching these guys. I wouldn’t know 90% of wrestling if it wasn’t from them. But they make it so fun to watch and learn
LT is famous here in America for being not only one the top 5 greatest football players ever to play the game, but also for being out of his mind on coke the entire time!
And absolutely destroying Joe Theismanns leg
And demolishing Joe Thismans leg
And obliterating Joe Thatman’s leg.
OMG! Thank you so much! I've been telling people about that Black Snow segment for over a decade! That was one of the funniest TNA segments ever!
Am I the only person who wanted someone to shout out “Nogger” when the OSW Sega tribute graphic appeared?
Ha ha! If u said that during production I would've added it 😂 hopefully next time!
By 95 he wasn't the Million Dollar Man anymore more like the "Hey can I get a dollar man!" Lol 😭😭😭
I wonder if the reason the Rumble was so short is because Shawn didn't want to work long or Pamela wouldn't sit there long. Probably both. XD
I think it was because the entire show was pretty packed with real matches and it was going long. From everything we've heard, Pamela Anderson was great here and WM10 and was far from a diva unlike many WWF guests. She showed up willing to be very patient and do whatever they asked of her. Same with LT.
And a lot of the wrestlers in the rumble were pretty shit. Shortening the time made this match a lot more watchable.
a 45m+ Rumble with the baseline talent they had in the WWE at the time might have actually killed someone in the crowd due to boredom. Like induce so much apathy their bodies would have just shut down.
Undertaker, "I hate those guys. Grown men dressed up in weird costumes."
Fucking comedy gold from Taker.
Omg I'm so glad I found this gem, you boys are fkn hilarious, and I love me some 90's wrastlin , born in 84' so I like to think I grew up in the greatest generation of WWE.
That Shawn "no no no" gesture reminds me of his too-soon forgotten "I don't think so!"
What a pittance is such an iconic saying anymore.
Yalll got me saying it too.
Marked out huge for the Chrono Trigger boss theme during the tag title match! Another great episode lads!
I wish I could remember the first time I heard the "What sound does 300 lbs of shit hitting the ring make - KWANG" joke because I say it in my head and laugh EVERY time I see him
did Scott Keith come up with that?
showing a clip of Twin Peaks on the mention of "Adam Bomb" is next level
Lmao, the decision of just riding in the New Era has finally gotten old for the boys
Undertaker vs IRS should have worked. They should have built it up as, "what are people more afraid of, death or taxes?"
"Lawrence Taylor is only famous in America" - Guys from a country that celebrates dart players
Darts are more entertaining than curling or baseball, which is like watching 2 turtles fuck
@@standardofexcellence The sound of turtles having sex is pretty funny tho
I can't imagine what Pamela had to be thinking watching this Rumble.
She was probably watching the clock and wondering when all this wrestling stuff was gonna be over so she could finish out her obligations and leave.
I'll tell ya, she thought: God, they didn't pay me enough for this crap.
Added notes on Dick Murdoch. He was a former WWE Tag champion with Adrian Adonis. 1 reign 279 days.
And not coincidentally he was trained by Killer Karl Kox. Which may be where the whole Klan thing started
I can’t believe being the Simpson marks you are, no one responded to V1 saying he wants out with “No, the world needs laughter”.
35:06 "Brett's wearing mismatched denims. Like jeans & a top that are different tones."
Oh Canada... the world appreciates your contributions to humanity.
The Heavenly bodies have been in my classic boy stable for years lol. Get in
The 95 rumble is a good example of using what you have and making the best out of a bad situation. The roster was very thin at the time but they were smart enough to keep two of the most established stars they had in the ring for the entire time so there was some interest in the match at all times. I don’t know why they had Owen and backlaund get eliminated so quickly though
Owen, Backlund and Luger did fuck all 😔
@@Bubba__Sawyer My theory on Owen in particular is that, as I only three-quarters-jokingly said in another comment every single booker somehow forgot they had a Rumble to... book until it was announced and they realised their best bet (along with basically just making it HBK vs. Bulldog) was to book Owen to be eliminated early because they didn't have time to come up with enough ideas to actually use him.
Seriously, though, what an insane choice. Owen, in particular, could have been relied upon to inject some much-needed excitement into what was mostly... nothing. Don't get me wrong, Backlund's obviously exceptionally skilled but his style probably doesn't work _as_ well for a crowded Rumble.
Holy shit! Magnificent editing at 56:09, laughed really hard at that. Good stuff, lads.
37:36 Jay gets the results of SB29 wrong, and had to correct himself in the comments
🏈 🏈"WHAT A PITTANCE"😂😂😭😭
56:08 CHRONO TRIGGER! Great job on the review, boys. Yet another un-watchable event made extremely watchable by the best Irish trio on RUclips.
I just want the boys to review KotR 95, just so they can tear it a new man’s hole. (Can’t say the other one.)
Mantaur said in an interview that he didn't get over because Jim Cornette was his manager.
...I can't even...
the time stamps are a godsend thanks Jay! multiple youtube accounts and finding where I was always used to be mildly frustrating :D
Hmm, convienant that they might completely skip over the disappearance of Tatanka. V1 is probably gonna keep del Ray in his stable and never have the shoe drop when he realizes Tatanka was suspended from the WWE for sexual assault charges that were dropped when it was proven Jimmy Del Ray was the culprit. Was really looking forward to that shoe drop tbh
Yeah, I was surprised they didn't mention that.
Can we talk about the inconsistency in the size of Undertakers Urn
Immersion broken 0/5
@@jackspence6061 I'm just saying, Paul Bearer has a new urn everytime he brought out "his Undertaker"
@@KidTonyGamingwhat if the size of the urn correlated with Paul's weight? I wouldn't put it past WWE at this point.
@@jackspence6061 no because Paul was huge in his last run in the WWE, when Taker was feuding with Paul Heyman, The Dudley's, JBL & Heidenrich, and the urn was on the small scale. I believe this urn was huge just so people knew it was urn.
One could argue it's not the size of the urn but what you do with it.
I live in Bradenton,Fl where that Raw was it was crazy they had fans actually wearing a few wcw shirts etc that were turned away even at this time.Love you guys keep up the amazing work!
🎧🎮 OSW STREAM EVERY SUNDAY!! Next Sunday, New Super OSW Level 7!! (hang out with Jay listening to 2 hours of incredible videogame music!) Catch up on previous levels: ruclips.net/video/hC7LnCiikLg/видео.html 🎮🎧
I just realized Texas Tornado CAN’T EVER be eliminated from a rumble!!!!
He'd win every year. 😄
Oh Jay. The Chargers did not beat the 49ers. They in fact, never won a Superbowl. To make matters even worse no pro sports team from San Diego has won a championship. EVER! It's kind of a sore subject for them. You're making San Diegans cry, brah!
Don't know what you guys have planned for the next arc, but I'd really love to see any arc involving Eddie Guerrero! Maybe the Rey Vs Eddie feud?
Wouldn't mind and 04-05 arc
Ideas for future arcs:
The Boyhood Arc: Royal Rumble 96 through Survivor Series 96.
Rise of Austin arc: KOTR 96, Survivor Series 96, Royal Rumble 97, IYH Final four, Wrestlemania 13, IYH Canadian Stampede, Summerslam 97, Royal Rumble 98, Wrestlemania 14
NWO arc: Bash at the Beach 96, Hog Wild, Fall Brawl 96, Starrcade 96, Souled Out 97, Road Wild 97, Halloween Havoc 97, Starrcade 97
Kane Arc: IYH Bad Blood through Unforgiven 98 (possibly through KOTR 98)
Warrior's return arc: Wreatlemania 12, IYH 7, KOTR 96, Fall Brawl 98, and Halloween Havoc 98
Eddie Guerrero arc: No Way Out 2004 through Great American Bash 2004
Awesome
