is steiner boy stable worthy? he was BARELY world champion.. i know he was good, but his outlandishness has to put him in consideration for eligiboylity??? @RobJaskula @osw
Terry Funk selling his eye is just like in the match with Edge and Foley at Mania. When watching that I legit thought he had ripped his eye. The way he completely changes how he speaks. Stupidly good performer.
The empty area was a match or just a brawl? Like in the old smack down games where you win my knockout? Because why wouldn’t a brawl have fighting outside of the ring? It would be weird if a non match did traditional wrestling lol
Please look up Leo P and his saxophone skills. He is ultimate duck arse. I've been trying to put him over for the longest. Links don't work...so just look him up, ya bollocks.
Jay, your review of the Lawler/Funk match is absolutely beautiful. Genuinely one of the best reviews of a match I've ever seen. You're the best in the business mate. You deserve all good things to happen to you and OSW
@@HiGlowiehe had two strokes and also battling cancer so I believe his body gave up, he wasn't an addict but had taken steroids in the past which potential led to strokes
It’s really good. Still kinda partial to the metal version from the ECW arc & the Bojack Horseman version from Dungeon of Doom, but this one is right up there
Ive been watching this show for ten years now. Im so happy and proud of all your success, your impact inside and out of the wrestling world, as well as the joy you bring countless fans who tune in to watch each episode. Wishing you three the very best for all days to come ❤️
The toothless jumping guy worked for TNA 's ring crew. I remember seeing him in the ring wiping down the ropes and thinking " who is this toothless knacker ? "
The Fountain is one of my all time favorite films and Arronofsky's best work imo. A beautiful film about accepting death and moving on. Hard to follow but has one of the greatest endings of all time.
One of my favorite tweets of that period was someone responding to a clip from Smackdown, when Brey Wyatt was cutting a promo on John Cena, and the tweet was something to the effect of “Smackdown has turned into group therapy.”
Yeeep! I've no idea why I said that, just had it on the brain. Hope you'll forgive me for snipping out my mistake! I don't think i could take 200 people commenting the same correction
Watched it again for the public premier. Marked out for myself in the thank you list at the end. My favorite brahs in the whole dang world. You've made my life easier these past few years.
Man loved hearing you guys discuss the Sting/Cactus Jack footage! Would love to see you guys cover more early WCW (when you lads are recovered from the NWO arc) Perhaps.. Robocop?
@@boroughmanager7067, he was one of the greats. I always enjoyed watching him. The Midnight Express was the best! Arn and him in the Dangerous Alliance was dang good too!
“The eating of an orange is a lot like a good boy stable. First, you have the Albert ...then the sweet, sweet naked mideon” WHOPPER VIDEO LADS AS ALWAYS🎉
My favorite part of Across the Spiderverse was when Miles was on the big train and said to Miguel, "Everybody's doin' what everybody's doin'. Everybody's doin' their thing. I'll keep doin' what I be doin'. I be doin' MY thing."
One of the recent Doctor Who specials had a moment where the Doctor and Donna were shouting at some aliens to CROSS THE LINE and all I could think about was that song
I genuinely remember watching this episode on a Saturday replay. I was hyped about Sting and Angle fighting in an empty arena. I am looking forward to revisiting it with the Lads.
Laughing at V1 with the equivalent to "but whose side is he on??" spoiler when Jay wanted to introduce the American football what bar segment haha. I love this bloody arc btw.
I know you guys just did the AEW/Punk mini-arc but given the amount of Sting in this arc, I hope the Brucie Bonus at the end is Sting’s final match at Revolution. Would be a perfect capper
Perfect timing for me. I made it on tv on tonight's Impact lol. Was on the third row. They taped two Impacts, so I'll be in the background of some shots in the go-home show to Sacrifice. The numbers dont lie!
I remember watching this episode from TNA for the first time, I thought “empty area, I wish they could that match type more often.” Little did I know what came during the incident of 2020. *nervous laughing*
Amazing episode, as always! Always love you boys gushing over TNA - just wanted to pitch in with a 'dragon' that you missed for an Ultimo Dragon battle: Dragon Dragon from Chikara
28:30 I think you'll dig it @OSW , OOC's take is 100% on point, it is humorless to a fault (by design) & absolutely not for everyone, but it's also one of the best films of the last 25 years if you see it in the right mood & can appreciate it for what it is; Darren trying to make his "masterpiece"/live up to the artistic expectations of reqiuem's follow up (with a fraction of his initially promised budget), while telling a deeply personal story about grief & humans confronting their mortality
Albert also had a brief main event run in New Japan as Giant Bernard, including being the monster that Tanahashi toppled to begin his first world title run.
Steve, as somebody who went to multiple impact zone events during this era, you are every bit right. CRETINS And as far as tapings went, Impact was recorded one by one for two-three nights every other week. So one night of production would only be for one episode of Impact.
👍 Thumbs up the vid ya bollix! 👍

I will never get tired of a Scott Steiner cold open.
It’s setting the standard
"GOTTA HAVE A HOT BODY FOR THE COLD OPEN!" -Scott Steiner probably
anybody benching 200lbs suicide grip doesn't give af. Seriously that grip freaks me out hate when people do it.
No one can sell the phrase "MY EYE!" quite like Terry Funk. I swear he's done it in like 3 matches
But what about Lenny Leonard?
@@JFC108 he's not supposed to get pudding in it
It used to be a bit that he did in a lot of his matches
Big truth, no one sold better period IMO
Terry: MY EYE!!
Nia Jax: MY HOLE!!
i swear osw the only thing i can watch for 2 hours and it’ll feel like 20 minutes.
You should check out KillTony sometimes. Another breezy 2+ hour show that flies by.
Legit. Their a God damn time machine of entertainment
Jay, your review of the Lawler/Funk match is absolutely beautiful. Genuinely one of the best reviews of a match I've ever seen. You're the best in the business mate. You deserve all good things to happen to you and OSW
Aw thank you mate that's so kind. It's made my day. And then again when I show OOC and he gets annoyed
Show him this, OOC is better 🍻🫶
I had to go back and watch it. Dude, it’s now in my top 10 favorite matches. This was so raw and realistic. It’s fucking amazing.
RIP Virgil. In Heaven, getting tenners forever. ❤
What was the cause of death?
Whenever I see a celebrity dying of a “stroke” or “heart attack” at a young age I always suspect drug use.
"Before his death, Jones faced declining health over the years, battling through strokes, dementia, and stage II colon cancer."
@@HiGlowiehe had two strokes and also battling cancer so I believe his body gave up, he wasn't an addict but had taken steroids in the past which potential led to strokes
Juat donated to his gofund me.. will be the only gofund me that every donation will be a tenner
@@HiGlowie apparently he lied about his age for years and was actually 72
Don't worry, Jay. I popped for the Flight of Conchords reference
8:28 The Hip-hop Hippopotamus cannot be silenced! ...unless he's rapping
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
@@themightyculsh Be more constructive with your feedback!
My rhymes are bottomless...... Erm.....
@@themightyculsh _Steve..._
I notice that the art for CWA's banner there is a repainting of 'Thongor Against the Gods' by Frank Frazetta. Very interesting!
“He’s fat”
“He’s a half-breed”
“He’s Sloppy Joe”
Scott Steiner
Scott Steiner would be good at American politics lol
I mean his brother already is@@Thechezbailey
God tier Boy Stable segment lads
Glad to see that terrible stable from before was just an aberration, absolute whopper stable this time!
Why thank you
The TNA "Acceptable in the 80's" theme is a legit banger. With the GTA visuals, it's too perfect, big time pop from me.
It’s really good. Still kinda partial to the metal version from the ECW arc & the Bojack Horseman version from Dungeon of Doom, but this one is right up there
Very fitting that the very first thing we hear from you lads is Mr. OOC hotdogging and grandstanding.
that funk v lawler bit was AMAZING. holy crap, i love wrasslin' so much sometimes.
40:50 I have never seen a more perfect visual metaphor as Tyson Tomko being a wrestler named "Raw"
Quote of the year contestant 😂
The Dr Stevie segments were fantastic, especially when he joins with Daffney.
When he pull out a Bill Cosby on Abyss.
Ive been watching this show for ten years now.
Im so happy and proud of all your success, your impact inside and out of the wrestling world, as well as the joy you bring countless fans who tune in to watch each episode.
Wishing you three the very best for all days to come ❤️
Agreed. Keep up the good work ya fookin animals ya. Provided me with countless hours of entertainment. Watched each episode multiple times
Would love to see the boys talk more about Pre-Hogan early 90s WCW
Very nice boy stable there. Albert did well with what they gave him
Scott Steiner: "He's fat. FAT ALBERT!
With that hair, Roxxi looks like Gozer from Ghostbusters
"Choose and perish!"
Aim for the flat top
The toothless jumping guy worked for TNA 's ring crew.
I remember seeing him in the ring wiping down the ropes and thinking " who is this toothless knacker ? "
Great to see the Viper get a quick rub at the start there! Class stuff as always lads. Slainte
5:34 It's C.B.B., craaazy bitta business!
I had Ultimo Dragon in the boy stable for a while as well
The Fountain is one of my all time favorite films and Arronofsky's best work imo.
A beautiful film about accepting death and moving on. Hard to follow but has one of the greatest endings of all time.
STATE OF YOUR HAIR, ROXXI
Indeed. Never seen anyone steer so hard into the mullet stage of growing out short hair.
Also, condolences on having a bot steal your comment.
I was unprepared for early 90s WCW cropping up midway through this episode. We need a full story arc!
I can't believe anyone watched those covid lockdown shows. That's a next level endurance feat.
One of my favorite tweets of that period was someone responding to a clip from Smackdown, when Brey Wyatt was cutting a promo on John Cena, and the tweet was something to the effect of “Smackdown has turned into group therapy.”
There was a certain absurdist theater quality to it. One announcer going HELL YEAH in response to Stone Cold trying to hype people for Wrestlemania.
I love how EVERY time X-Factor is referenced on OSW, you splice their Uncle Kracker intro music. 🤣🤣
3:00 A WILD SLAPNUTS APPEARS!
Shuv it squad! Sound off!
Great stuff as usual
Came here to post this!
That said, I'd love to see Aronofsky give Children of Men a go.
@@TheGentlemanGamer probably would've been decent.
Yeeep! I've no idea why I said that, just had it on the brain. Hope you'll forgive me for snipping out my mistake! I don't think i could take 200 people commenting the same correction
@@OSW All is forgiven Jay. I don't think I'd be able to take that either
Loved that Bone Street Cru artwork that popped up for a sec. Lovely
Top notch outro, lads. Already subscribed, Patreon'd, liked, and now commenting. Nothing but love.
Watched it again for the public premier. Marked out for myself in the thank you list at the end. My favorite brahs in the whole dang world. You've made my life easier these past few years.
Man loved hearing you guys discuss the Sting/Cactus Jack footage! Would love to see you guys cover more early WCW (when you lads are recovered from the NWO arc)
Perhaps.. Robocop?
Late 80s/early 90s Four Horsemen story arc would be amazing
The Sarah Palin voice was wandering into a "Silly Roddy Piper" impression territory
10 hour shift finished, ice cold beer ready, feet up and a new OSW review to watch.
I guess life does have some good moments, after all.
Sláinte mein brah! 🍻
@@OSW Slàinte Mhath lads 🍺
For the record Jay, Children of men was made by Alfonso Cuaron, not Darren Aronofsky
Sent also Sandra Bullock and George Clooney where they belong. Into space.
Beautiful Bobby had the best leg drop boys! The Tennessee jam!
@@boroughmanager7067 you are right. I was completely thinking of Brain Christopher. Both used the top rope leg drop.
@@boroughmanager7067, he was one of the greats. I always enjoyed watching him. The Midnight Express was the best! Arn and him in the Dangerous Alliance was dang good too!
BEST WRESTLING CHANNEL IN THE WORLD
“The eating of an orange is a lot like a good boy stable. First, you have the Albert ...then the sweet, sweet naked mideon”

shoutout to stevie richards' channel! great analysis!
Love seeing my boy Mideon being someone else’s boy!
OOC hasn’t even begun to peak
The family guy seagull laughing was perrrrfect timing! 😂
Samoa Joe's Star Trek: Voyager Chakotay cosplay
I am insanely happy and pleasantly surprised by the Terry Funk coverage. Those promos from Memphis are some of my absolute favorites.
The day just got a lot cooler 😎
That Terry Funk v Lawler segment is tremendous. Any chance of doing a full video of that feud?
Honestly one of the things I've got from this arch is Taylor Wilde was a really great wrestler turned me into a fan
Thank you guys
My favorite part of Across the Spiderverse was when Miles was on the big train and said to Miguel, "Everybody's doin' what everybody's doin'. Everybody's doin' their thing. I'll keep doin' what I be doin'. I be doin' MY thing."
One of the recent Doctor Who specials had a moment where the Doctor and Donna were shouting at some aliens to CROSS THE LINE and all I could think about was that song
1:27:17 My ear is clogged, so it sounds like the guy said “GOD IS DEAAAAAAD!”
OOC was laughing so much in this episode I'm wondering if Jay broke out the Robo-OC laughs again 😂
He pipe n' in that Hogan pop!
Highlight of my month! Well done gentlemen!
"These are nice chairs!" that's my vote for quote of the year lmao
After struggling hard the past few months or so, it's so good to finally have HAPPY DAYS HERE AGGGAAAAIIIN
Pieeeee 🥧 glad you're with us brother
I genuinely remember watching this episode on a Saturday replay. I was hyped about Sting and Angle fighting in an empty arena. I am looking forward to revisiting it with the Lads.
Thanks for the video guys I was very excited when I seen that there was a new video today great job. You guys never disapoint.
I felt bad for the TNA attendance joke, they're doing quite good now thank God!
Define "quite good" ?
Laughing at V1 with the equivalent to "but whose side is he on??" spoiler when Jay wanted to introduce the American football what bar segment haha. I love this bloody arc btw.
I love how Suzuki corpses at the base spot like ‘yeah no that’s fucking funny, this is going well’
That Funk-Lawler segment was awesome.
What a feckin step down Taz was in commentary..watching OSW TNA arcs you spot exact moment's that crumbled the company, even in quick cutaways. 😂
I know you guys just did the AEW/Punk mini-arc but given the amount of Sting in this arc, I hope the Brucie Bonus at the end is Sting’s final match at Revolution. Would be a perfect capper
14:49 Ricky Starks cameo!
I want an OSW x Deadlock vid between video games and careers in the Indies I smell romance
The review of the Lawler/Funk match was worth it alone. Nobody makes you feel like Terry Funk did
One of the better boy stables I've seen.
Everybodys doin they thing
‘Let him cook’ for quote of the year
One of the best episodes yet. OOC with yet again another Nogger award winning performance.
Perfect timing for me. I made it on tv on tonight's Impact lol. Was on the third row. They taped two Impacts, so I'll be in the background of some shots in the go-home show to Sacrifice. The numbers dont lie!
OOC's post-match review of Shane Sewell's performance on behalf of all three lads is prime OOC 😂😂
Oh god the rock making advances towards an office girl didn't age well😅😂
At least Vince McMahon isn't chuckling in the background. "Hyuk hyuk, I've already soiled that one, pal."
Vince: "🫴 by the 🙀 !"
I wonder if OOC is the kinda guy who'd love a 10 min cut of the Godfather.
I remember watching this episode from TNA for the first time, I thought “empty area, I wish they could that match type more often.” Little did I know what came during the incident of 2020. *nervous laughing*
Daffney is almost unrecognizable playing the parody of Sarah Palin. I never knew it was her when watching this at the time it went to air.
To this day I still think that pallet view looking down on The Rock to be one of the dumbest things in Wrestling. An absolute kayfabe killer!
Amazing episode, as always! Always love you boys gushing over TNA - just wanted to pitch in with a 'dragon' that you missed for an Ultimo Dragon battle: Dragon Dragon from Chikara
28:30 I think you'll dig it @OSW , OOC's take is 100% on point, it is humorless to a fault (by design) & absolutely not for everyone, but it's also one of the best films of the last 25 years if you see it in the right mood & can appreciate it for what it is; Darren trying to make his "masterpiece"/live up to the artistic expectations of reqiuem's follow up (with a fraction of his initially promised budget), while telling a deeply personal story about grief & humans confronting their mortality
aronofsky wishes he directed Children of Men
Albert also had a brief main event run in New Japan as Giant Bernard, including being the monster that Tanahashi toppled to begin his first world title run.
Happy fookin days
Never saw the Funk/Lawler so thanks for that. Daniel Bryan vs the Bear is definitely his remake of it. Same promo and match start
I laughed WAY harder than I should have at the little drawing of Taz at 56:15
I also love Aronofsky and FFVI. Chris Sabin is literally me
This was so awesome. Great work again lads
Soul Blazer yes!
Absolutely loved that game! Haven't heard that music in 20+ years!
Awesome as always ❤
43:34 thanks lads, I’m going to have that horrifying image in my head all night now.
Ricky Starks cameo, gotta love it.
Thanks boys. Needed this. 10 on 10
Is Scott Steiner my favourite wrestler? These cold opens are gold
He's actually a comedic genius. He was too consistently funny for too long for it to be anything but brilliance.
Didnt expect a Mary Poppins reference, but here we are. OSW never disappoints.
Roxi looking like a shoo in for the Hall of Fame
Steve, as somebody who went to multiple impact zone events during this era, you are every bit right. CRETINS
And as far as tapings went, Impact was recorded one by one for two-three nights every other week. So one night of production would only be for one episode of Impact.
One of Tom's best videos! 😃 More ammo in the "TV is filling its pants at all this new online stuff" narrative!
RIP Virgil. I hope you're swindling all the 10ners at that big merch table in the sky 🙏💸
This episode of TNA Impact is the first one I watched in full. Can't wait to see the Irish lads review this one!
The fact that the base being safe bit got Suzuki to corpse is so funny
Love it as always guys!
Absolutely love Stevie Richards, he’s definitely my boy.
