OSW Update for November!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Update 28 Nov: Our first of two Tattoo reviews will be the original Hardcore Homecoming! It was the same weekend of WWE’s first ECW One Night Stand featuring some of the same wrestlers! Deak said it’s best viewed with a couple of drinks with friends, so that’s what we’ll do! Myself, OOC and V1 will watch the PPV as-live and give our running commentary/thoughts, and I’ll sync it to the video afterwards. This will be recorded over the weekend so I’ll need a couple evenings to make it perfect. Aiming for Friday 4th Dec.

• Survivor Series 2015: Since we’re recording this week I’ve no time do a video review this year but I’ve given my thoughts on it: OSWreview.com/wwe-survivor-series-2015

• Super OSW 64 Level 6 dropped last week! Jay’s videogame music radio show. Thank you for the wonderful feedback about it! Featuring music from Undertale, Killer Instinct, Crash Bandicoot, Jet Set Radio… 😀 If you haven’t listened to it yet, clicky OSWreview.com/super-osw-64-level-6

• I wrote up a blog for Irish Academy about improving your content and getting more eyes on it, from my experience doing OSW for the last 4 years! I called it “How to get a million views per month”, which if you’ve seen that one video we have on YouTube, you know already 😛

Irish Academy is a PR college, founded by Ellen Gunning, who does a show called Mediascope at Dublin City FM (the same radio station that broadcasts Super OSW 64). The blog came about after appearing on her show – One of her guests cancelled at the last minute, Ellen asked me to host the programme instead (as she’s well-versed in Mobile Journalism already) and I picked her brains about the topic. If you’d like to hear me in a completely different setting, the episode is available on Soundcloud (clicky!), my portion starts at 6 minutes in and lasts for the rest of the show.

• Next Videogame video – MGS 4! Currently being edited. I did ask V1 about MGS5 and he hasn’t played it in weeks, he’s still strung out on Destiny! Damn those weekly drops!

• Currently playing through Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong. It’s magic (but I was sold on it before ever double-clicking the launch icon!) when I’m done with it I’ll write up a review. Latest film review is the newest Bond movie, Spectre, featuring Batista! OSWreview.com/reviews

• Mick Foley gig #2 review – the Mickster returns to the scene of the crime! http://oswreview.com/foley-gig-2/ . If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, his 2012 Dublin gig was the worst gig we’ve ever been to.

• YouTube: WWE/Flintstones Crossover and Hell in a Cell 2014 are now available again (HIAC is the one with our Susan Komen rant, every Cena vs Orton match, and LESBIAN POLLEN (MIIIIIIIIIIIND GAMES!) Currently working on getting the rest of the X7 story arc up, so next is No Way Out 2001, Final Nitro and X7.

• Our What Bar sharts are back in stock in UK & US, if you’re thinking of buying tee (thank you!) maybe hold off for like a week or so 😉
UK: SquaredCircle.com/category/t-shirts-partners. US: MerchNow.com/catalogs/Squared-Circle-Clothing

• We’ll choose our next storyline arc around Christmas time from suggestions here: OSWreview.com/what-should-we-cover-next

And remember, a winner is you!

US: (Sold out, sorry! BUT we’ve ordered new stock & will be updated soon 🙂 Cheers!)

Who did your favourite intro? Myself and OOC had a couple drinks and watched these the weekend before the X7 episode came out. Amazing. Billiant. Urbane! Thank you 🙂

What Era/Storyline should we cover next?

“Evolution of the Undertaker” pic thanks to Kingdomofmadness89!

Yo! As the WrestleMania X7 storyline comes to a close (next weekend!), it’s time to consider a new story arc! What would be your favourite run of shows/PPVs for us to cover? Any company, any time period. Ideally 3-6 episodes but we’re open to anything. Please reply here rather than on FB or twitter as I’d like all the suggestions in one place! Thanks brahs & bras 🙂

Jay

P.S. If you haven’t entered yet, submit your impression of our intro, which will be splicied into the X7 episode! Details can be found here!

Update: Our brah Dan asked us to update the post with stuff we’d never do! Thinking on it, never is a strong word, just that we’d do a lot of other things before getting around to it. At some point it would be pretty cool to have an OSW review of every PPV! Lol. Anyway, here’s some guidelines to stuff that we’re unlikely to choose in the immediate future:

• Companies other than WWF/E, NWA/WCW, ECW, TNA (although one-off bonus eps of other feds is a possibility)
• Indies/Japan (PWG, ROH etc) – we don’t keep up/know enough about them to do them justice. (one-offs/part of another storyline are a possibility)
• A full recap of Triple H’s reign of terror (it’s possible we could do a few episodes but not the horrific 18 month span!)
• Post-Benoit (i.e. 2007 onwards – it’s still feels too ‘current’ for us)

That said, if a particular storyline is interesting to us within those time periods it’d be on the table. Anyway, SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT! I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU GOT!

OSW Update October

• Episode 55, WrestleMania X7 will be a massive show, the guts of 2 hours! It needs to be perfect, it’ll take about 4-5 more sessions to complete it, over this week and next. Aiming to have it released by next weekend (24-25th)

• Wanna BE IN the X7 show? Record yourself (video, or just audio) doing your impression of our intro, and some of it’ll be spliced into the episode! Then go to WeTransfer.com and send the file to OSWreview @ gmail .com. Make sure to include your twitter handle so I can include it in the credits! By submitting in an entry, you agree to let us use it in our video(s) and monetise it if possible.

Here’s the intro: “Hello & welcome to OSW Review: The Old School Wrestling video podcast! Filmed in Glorious GrappleVision, and encoded with Blast Processing, we Chronologically Critique Wrestling Storylines, PPV by PPV. This is your host, _________________ Jay Hunter, joined as ever with ______________ Mr. OOC, and ___________ V1, it’s WrestleMania X7! The WrestleMania X7 of WrestleManias! …And it’s coming up right now.”
(I left blanks in case you want to add in nicknames for us! Feel free to adlib and I’ll do my best to splice it in 🙂 We’ve had over 60 entries so far! Pic thanks to Kevin’s Review Show!)

• No word on the next Super OSW 64 radio show, the programme I was previously subbing in for has been removed from the schedule! If another slot pops up I’ll let you guys know. I think my latest show (level 5) is the best one since the first! Click here for Level 5!
• Videogame video reviews are on hold until after X7, first one will be MGS4. V1 has MGS5 but he hasn’t played much of it yet, he’ll still strung out on Destiny.
• Latest written videogame review is Indie title The Beginner’s Guide! OSWreview.com/media/game-beginners-guide
• Latest written wrestling review is the great NXT Takeover: Respect (respeekkkkkk!) featuring multiple What Bar t-sharts! OSWreview.com/nxt-takeover-7
