Hey Milkshakes! Wondering what’s up with OSW? Here’s the scoop! • The OSW YouTube channel has gone offline for the moment. WWE have gone nuclear on YouTube thanks to the launch of the UK/Irish WWE Network. (Sucks as WWE were cool with taking 100% of the ad revenue for the last 15 months!)

Helloooo! Got lots of news for OSW this week. Here’s what’s going down in Groovestown: • YOUTUBE: Most of the episodes are missing.

They’re not happy with making …

He was shit-canned after Vince blew up at him for mis-selling a stunner & slap. As well as his only talent is being tall. He’s the cousin of Dan Spivey and still works for WWC in …

Macho Man: The Randy Savage Story is a 94-minute documentary about the big moments in the career of the Macho Man. Notably absent is Macho’s later WWF career (especially vs Warrior at WM7) and they gloss over his entire WCW career besides his feud with DDP. It’s still a fun docu even if it’s quite superficial. Here’s some notes I’ve taken during it: • …
