• The worst PPV in history according to us. Because it’s 4 hours, 16 matches, 15 of which are shit. Time limit draws and pins from a knee to the back? Yep. This PPV almost made us quit the show!

• Wrestling is Awesome: Jesse Ventura in Predator (1987)
WWF WrestleMania II - OSW Review 4
• Original Release Date: 6 June 2011
• Billboard Gag: Macho logo (no gag, as Randy Savage had recently passed)
• First show to feature Steve (V1)
• Much like early Botchamanias, the original idea was to have a Macho promo before every episode, as seen here.
• Macho Promo: A Champion’s Perogative (All Star Wrestling March 1st, 1986). Macho promos were supposed to start as many
episodes as possible (just like early Botchamanias)
• First show to feature the Macho Man title card.
• Wrestling is Awesome: Randy Savage in Spider-Man 1 (2002)
Macho Man Tribute - OSW Review 3
• Original Release Date: 30 May 2011
• A roundtable tribute was originally recorded but it descended into Stephanie jokes, so it was deemed unsuitable to publish.
• This version has added video splicey.
WWF The Wrestling Classic - OSW Review 2
• Original Release Date: 19 May 2011
• Billboard Gag: Where’s Randy Savage? IN THE DANGER ZONE!
• This show was actually recorded before the WM1 episode to improve editing skills, and since it was a mish-mash of matches, the
guys had no interest in covering it.
• This is the only episode to feature the original theme song (Metroid Metal – Intro), as it was completed before the WrestleMania
1 show.
• “Neo Geo (Inst)” was used at the start of the show, instead of the end credits.
• The Scott Putski reference is from Review-a-Wai, the main inspiration of the show.
• The “Randy Savage for HoF” segment is closer to the original “Gauntlet” current affairs segment I had for the show.
WWF WrestleMania 1 - OSW Review 1
• Original Release Date: 13 May 2011
• Billboard Gag: Wrestle Hulk Hogan! NO JOBS AVAILABLE (a much better version)
• The show was supposed to be a 4-man podcast but Steve (V1) couldn’t make it. The recording had already been postponed twice
and was in danger of being dropped completely, so we went ahead with 3.
• Most of the opening history lesson was re-jiggered from an unaired pilot reviewing Black Saturday.
• Wrestling is Awesome music is a mix of Miz’s theme and the 8-bit cover by I Fight Dragons.
• Wrestling is Awesome: Hulk Hogan in The A-Team and Gremlins 2
WWF Black Saturday - OSW Review Pilot!
• Original Production Date: March 22nd 2011
• Billboard Gag: Wrestle Hulk Hogan! NO JOBS AVAILABLE
• This episode was never intended to be public! It was a “sales pitch” to my co-hosts to show them what an episode would be like,
and to see how difficult it was to produce a video review. It was done on Windows Movie Maker.
• “Black Saturday” refers to the day WWF took over the World Championship Wrestling timeslot from GCW. The failure of McMahon’s venture on Turner Broadcasting lead to the Monday Night Wars.
• This pre-dates Acceptable in the 80s! “Metroid Metal – Intro” was originally chosen.
• I originally wanted to call the episodes “Video Classic Reviews” so I could call them VCRs. It’s called this in the credits!
• The “Aftermath” section was called the “Gauntlet” (after Epic Battle Axe) and was originally intended to be a ‘current wrestling’
segment. Since episodes were long enough already, it was turned into a wrap-up segment.
• It’s literally the first thing I ever recorded. Please be kind! It’s quite cringe-worthy to me as you can hear me trying to crack jokes
with no-one to work with.
