What's odd is MEM never really ended nor had a blow off, not really. Angle gets the belt, AJ wins it in a four way and then beats Sting. MEM just kind of stops being a thing.
Well he's not a very bright guy and, places like TNA were more than willing to take advantage of that because the marks would love watching the guy kill himself in the ring. ANY promoter who claims to care about their talent and then books Foley is trash. Better to stop booking the guy while he's healthy enough instead of letting him continue. He's given enough for the marks and for the business.
That's the moment I realized that Scott Steiner is a comedic genius and was totally in control of the Big Poppa Pump character and its personality. He's a generational talent and one of the very best of all time.
@@cerburrows9380 The match before the cage match was Randy Savage's last, as part of a team with AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy vs Jarrett, Hall and Nash. What an absurd card.
OOC’s big announcement being that he has a new segment coming up later in the show brought tears to my eyes, that has to be a runner for quote of the year!
This actually happened with Capcom too. They were later in a presentation going to have an announcement for updates/new content for Street Fighter 5. The announcement is ... there will be an announcement at the NEXT presentation! :D
The episode is already great, but I wanna give a special credit to OOC's new segment/the book reviews! I always love hearing you guys talk about wrestling books, it's super fascinating to hear you three share your opinions on that kinda stuff! I'd definitely be down for more OOCCVC action :) I can't imagine there are other notable wrestler-penned books that would be even tangentially related the way Mick's books are to the current arc, but even if it was a small thing where every now and then Steve and OOC sit for like 10-15 minutes and talk about it, I'd love to hear it :) After, what, almost a decade? You guys are at this point the only wrestling content I consume, and I have never been disappointed by an episode :) Thank you!
Lauren trying DESPERATELY not to laugh as Curry Man was taken away will always get a pop. I don't blame her, I absolutely couldn't have. And as one of the resident Yanks: the Sarah Palin gimmick wasn't over with ANY of my friendgroup. We were just pissed they weren't giving us badass, awesome goth Daphne for sub-SNL political schtick that so obviously had a 10 minute shelf life.
Sheik bashir is the tatanka of TNA. he’s not over, he’s not going to get over, but no matter where you look he has a spot on the card and a match or segment
He was over enough in the 2006 Royal Rumble to get a full time contract... Then again, anyone was allowed on Smackdown back then. Heck, they'd only just gotten rid of Heidenreich.
@@schizzo8959 Did you EVER see someone wearing a Takanka shirt in the 90s? I bet there were tons of kids in Zimbabwe or something wearing the Tatanka shirts that never sold.
I got free tickets to this show from Philly's sports radio WIP station. Came straight from the Flyers playoff game with my dad. Was able to spot myself and the top of my dad's head in the intro! I remember really enjoying the show and popping hard when Mick won the title. I was 18 at the time. Thrilled to have you guys cover the show, boys!
I can’t believe they dated the video by saying Naito is the current IWGP champion and then later that day Jon Moxley beats him for it. You gotta splicey that now!
@@DYLANJJK94 joey samoey makes sense since X division is about uh no limits not weight limits. meanwhile drilla maloney is a jr. heavyweight tag champ lol
I think Sojo had a quick weave with the blonde crown being sew-in the top of her head. There are sew-in weave, quick weaves and combos. Sew-in weaves are sewn into scalp braids. Quick weaves are glued on top of scalp braids. Combos layer the tracks with glue and the top is sewn in. Nobody really does combos anymore but whoever did it effed her head up. Wigs are actually being worn more and can be better secured now.
Just to give a baseline for how much damage Foley did to his body through the 1990s, he was moving like that at 43 years old. AJ Styles is currently 46. Damien Priest and LA Knight are 41. Cody and Roman are 38. That man literally gave it all over the course of his career
I actually haven't watched an OSW video for a few months now. Since In Your House 5. This just popped up in my recommendations and it just feels right to get stuck into this. I've had some financial and work stress recently, and whilst I'm coping well with it, I think a bit of OSW is just what I need. I'm not the only one of course, but you guys have really helped me in the past. I remember when my first child was born on Christmas Day, and I had to leave the hospital for the night while she had to have different tests done, and my wife was struggling with pain and exhaustion. My first thought to help regulate and take my mind off of things I couldn't control was to get home, load up the current story arc - I believe it was Lex Express - and eat a box of quality street with a few Malibu and cokes 😆😆 Thank you for some great, positive content, lads
Was in the building for this (Lee-Ah-Core-Us!!), D-Von brawled right past me, awesome night, my dad and I ran out after the main event to hear the radio call of Andre Iguodala’s game winner against the Magic
56:20 when Jay's voice muffles because he clearly laid his head in his hands/arms to demonstrate to the lads how Morgan is laying, and they just leave it on the final video. The type of thing you can't get in any other RUclips channel.
I’m legitimately glad that Foley called off the plan for having one last hardcore match on his 60th birthday cause I don’t want to see him getting permanently crippled or dying in the ring.
I thought he said it was just a way to motivate himself to lose some weight, and also a death match would be way less hard on his body than a real match.
@@Eidenhoekyou can hide physical issues in death matches. Lotta walk and brawl, Lotta plunder, Lotta broken skin and blood but you can prob get away with not even bumping if you do it right. Looks worse than it is.
@@cooljammer00 No, I know *why* it's true, but the irony that a DEATHMATCH in your 60s, a match of DEATH, is easier than a bog-standard match is amusing to me.
I assure you, this has more to do with TNA finding new methods to sit on their own balls and propping Sting up than it is him. He wasn’t physically capable of keeping up with the fresh young talent they kept cramming into the midcard despite their immense talent, and Dixie just couldn’t get over that fact. AEW Sting was actively trying to put people over, but Tony and the roster insisted on losing because they considered it an honor that he’s even there. The man has too much weight to his name to be used lightly.
It's a double edged sword, as the brand split makes revisiting that period for story purposes a misery I'd imagine. So much of each show dedicated to jobber tier guys in feuds to pad the PPVs to 3 hours. At least with TNA it's the whole card at once.
With me attending a WWE house show for the first time since 2012, AEW Dynasty tonight and this, it’s fair to say I’ve had a good weekend of wrestling! Can’t wait to watch this!
Omg I’m in this video lol. At 18:37 when Billy Corgan is taking the belts. Can’t really see my face, but I’m left of the bald guy in the blue shirt, holding up my phone to take a pic
Just wanna point out that the boy stable at the beginning has three WWE Hall of Famers, and I'd argue Bam Bam should be as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if the induct Bruce Prichard at some point. Does this scientifically prove that the WWE Hall of Fame does not disqualify one from Boydom?
1:41:40 gave me flashbacks of Jay's reaction to Neo's ruminations on Vince and blurring the lines between wrestling and entertainment in OSW episode #1.
44:20 Dang, that's one of the earliest maps you could get of Universal Orlando. All the classic opening rides that are long gone; Kongfrontation, Back to the Future, Nick Studios... though still far enough that they already replaced Ghostbusters with Twister. Dang, so much that's gone...
Bashir being a big part of the X-Division is TNA’s version of Enzo Amore being Cruiserweight Champion. Not great wrestlers being the focus of a division that was all about work rate.
just clicked on this thinking it's another episode of my favorite podcast, until the Dudley's promo came up and I realized the title of the video and this was the only TNA show I ever attended, I was 13 years old, my mom dropped off me and my older brother, I'll never forget our view of lethal lockdown from the upper section, everyone in my section thought the Bobby Lashley reveal was going to be Tazz. and I got to see my all time favorite Mick Foley for the first time and I got see him win.a world title, I've decided against seeing Impact every time they come to the ECW arena, just so I can say this is the only TNA show I ever went to. and in case you wanted to know it's pronounced Lee-a-coors center
Crazy to think that Micker was 43 here but he looked and moved like an old man, meanwhile someone like Finn Balor is almost 43 today and the dude moves like a weapon
That low-angle dropkick through the cage door was a sweet spot though, gotta give Bashir credit for pulling that off with such a small margin of error going through the ropes.
I don't know much about Billy Corgan, but he's well into his 50s. So, considered his love for the NWA and territory wrestling, I'd bet a lot of money that he's been a fan of wrestling from well before the 90s.
I'm glad you guys mentioned that the "Glorious" shtick was kind of a curse for Roode. It raised his floor, but lowered his ceiling. It turned him into too much of a gimmick.
Amazing that the two Lethal Lockdown matches that OSW have covered have BOTH featured AJ taking a massive bump off the top and center around faces being unsure whether they can trust Jeff Jarrett! Dammit D'Lo!
As late in life as the Sting/Foley match was, I always appreciate how it echoed how Foley's career began. His first main event program was with Sting in WCW, feels fitting his final one in wrestling was with Stinger as well. It was a fine bookend.
13-year-old me at the time was dialed into TNA. I always loved Mankind so seeing Mick in TNA at this time and winning the world title fired me up. I looked forward to him putting on these crazy matches but I remember being extremely bummed not seeing him wrestle great matches on the weekly shows since I could never buy the ppvs
JEEZ! I watched quite a bit of TNA (after this time, granted) and love AJ, and I have NEVER seen that spot through the cage before! Absolutely crazy, and no one caught him? Scary stuff!
How do we get OSW to cover WWA First PPV as a circuit breaker between this arc and the next? I feel like there's so much crossover to the things they give out over.
Lynch's worst day at the office is solid enough for a best picture nomination. The Twin Peaks movie reveals some inspired performances and I'm here for it.
12:40 "Didn't he save kids from a burning building?" "That's why he got his fire tattoo on his head" The saving kids seems to have happened in 2000 He had his tattoo before that

Remember to review the TNA show that OOC was at lol
Are you ever going to (Pleeease) do a final film review of The Hobbit part 3??.. I’ve watched the first two reviews so so many times 😁
@@REDJESTA thank u! OOC told me to ask again after we finish the TNA arc 🧙♂️ a review is never early or late, it arrives precisely when it means to!
1:57:14 “Job well done… according to him.” - Potential future Nogger-winning line.
Sting wanting to go back to being face really did snap this storyline in half, goddamn.
What's odd is MEM never really ended nor had a blow off, not really. Angle gets the belt, AJ wins it in a four way and then beats Sting. MEM just kind of stops being a thing.
The idea of foley in the main event a decade after first retiring is just “unbelievable” 😳

This arc has cemented in my brain that Sting is as much as a politic guy as Hogan. Always wins, never puts anyone over.
I assure you, this has more to do with TNA finding new methods to sit on their own balls and propping Sting up than it is him. He wasn’t physically capable of keeping up with the fresh young talent they kept cramming into the midcard despite their immense talent, and Dixie just couldn’t get over that fact. AEW Sting was actively trying to put people over, but Tony and the roster insisted on losing because they considered it an honor that he’s even there. The man has too much weight to his name to be used lightly.
That special announcement spot was perfection

Lee-uh-core-us Center mates. Thanks for covering this. Was lucky enough to be there live for it
44:20 Dang, that's one of the earliest maps you could get of Universal Orlando. All the classic opening rides that are long gone; Kongfrontation, Back to the Future, Nick Studios... though still far enough that they already replaced Ghostbusters with Twister. Dang, so much that's gone...
Bashir being a big part of the X-Division is TNA’s version of Enzo Amore being Cruiserweight Champion. Not great wrestlers being the focus of a division that was all about work rate.
This PPV name was crazy after 2020 and we all went into a real lockdown!
Tears of laughter just at the
S-Club opening.
You all rock.
just clicked on this thinking it's another episode of my favorite podcast, until the Dudley's promo came up and I realized the title of the video and this was the only TNA show I ever attended, I was 13 years old, my mom dropped off me and my older brother, I'll never forget our view of lethal lockdown from the upper section, everyone in my section thought the Bobby Lashley reveal was going to be Tazz. and I got to see my all time favorite Mick Foley for the first time and I got see him win.a world title, I've decided against seeing Impact every time they come to the ECW arena, just so I can say this is the only TNA show I ever went to.
and in case you wanted to know it's pronounced Lee-a-coors center
I love a Retrospective heavy episode, you have a laugh and learn a lot as well. Oh and LOVING the OOC CVC!
Crazy to think that Micker was 43 here but he looked and moved like an old man, meanwhile someone like Finn Balor is almost 43 today and the dude moves like a weapon
AJ Styles "catch me brahs"
All the Brahs who weren't gonna catch him "Okay"
Snuka is the OJ of the wrestling world. A star in his profession, but we all know he did it.
"The roll over bit yeah...but he's old enough to die" OOC with a quote of the year again.
51:02 this is a serious problem with wrestling today
this is one of my favorite channels this shit is always gold
OOC’s BA is money!
That low-angle dropkick through the cage door was a sweet spot though, gotta give Bashir credit for pulling that off with such a small margin of error going through the ropes.
I don't know much about Billy Corgan, but he's well into his 50s. So, considered his love for the NWA and territory wrestling, I'd bet a lot of money that he's been a fan of wrestling from well before the 90s.
I'm glad you guys mentioned that the "Glorious" shtick was kind of a curse for Roode. It raised his floor, but lowered his ceiling. It turned him into too much of a gimmick.
Bobby Roode was always blessed with great themes. The Beer Money one, Off the chain (
lyrical and instrumental), and obviously his WWE song.
I don't know what I laughed at more, the duplex joke or Vince calling himself out. 😂
Amazing that the two Lethal Lockdown matches that OSW have covered have BOTH featured AJ taking a massive bump off the top and center around faces being unsure whether they can trust Jeff Jarrett! Dammit D'Lo!
As late in life as the Sting/Foley match was, I always appreciate how it echoed how Foley's career began. His first main event program was with Sting in WCW, feels fitting his final one in wrestling was with Stinger as well. It was a fine bookend.
Gotta be real with ya lads, that last boys stable definitely deserved the hate lmao, this one wasn't near as rough Snuka aside.
13-year-old me at the time was dialed into TNA. I always loved Mankind so seeing Mick in TNA at this time and winning the world title fired me up. I looked forward to him putting on these crazy matches but I remember being extremely bummed not seeing him wrestle great matches on the weekly shows since I could never buy the ppvs
I almost skipped the OOC CVC chapter, to uphold kayfabe
JEEZ! I watched quite a bit of TNA (after this time, granted) and love AJ, and I have NEVER seen that spot through the cage before! Absolutely crazy, and no one caught him? Scary stuff!
A fellow fifer glad I'm not the only one. 🏴
1:06:48 Angelina Love did the Bashir move and jumped in the air to take that crossbody yet the lads didn’t even acknowledge it!
1:11:29 WrestlingJesus reference popped me so hard I had no idea other people still remembered him!
The random George Lucas impression was brilliant.
How do we get OSW to cover WWA First PPV as a circuit breaker between this arc and the next? I feel like there's so much crossover to the things they give out over.
we'll def do WWA at some point - i bought some WWA burned DVDs off the net
@@OSW This fills me with so much happiness, and fear....
My first live wrestling show and it was fucking amazing.
OOCs book reviews are so great It was such a pleasant surprise we got one in the middle Of this review
36:46 What a bump by Lethal. I've never seen any1 do a bump like that in 35 years.
Lynch's worst day at the office is solid enough for a best picture nomination. The Twin Peaks movie reveals some inspired performances and I'm here for it.
always like the book reviews, hope we get more
I love this arc as it encompasses so many feds and running gags. That and a new segment which is awesome!
"*sigh* retired" might be the best acting Scott Steiner ever did
12:40
"Didn't he save kids from a burning building?"
"That's why he got his fire tattoo on his head"
The saving kids seems to have happened in 2000
He had his tattoo before that
Quote of the year candidate - V1 "the predator.. Aka Vince McMahon." 😂 the cut together after of vince calling himself out is incredible also!
Loved the CVC segment. I look forward to more in the future.
Kane definitely feared taking The Pedigree properly lol
