OSW Update for December!

Yo! Hope you had an amazing Christmas! Or at least ate too much and slept a lot, which is what everyone can hope for. Here’s the scoop on OSW:
• Myself and the boys recorded the 2nd (well technically 3rd) Tattoo review, IWA King of the DeathMatch ’95, last weekend! I used new equipment to record it but I’m running into trouble with syncing issues, so I’m having to sync it manually which is horrific! It should be out next weekend (~2nd Jan).
• Afterwards we’ll do our annual Golden Noggers & Q&A session celebrating 2015 in OSW! And after that we’ll start a new storyline. Since there’s a few vids before that, we haven’t decided on what it’ll be. We’ll be choosing an arc from this thread: OSWreview.com/what-should-we-cover-next!
• The Dirty Lee sign is Big Sammy (with Ben in the what barrrr shart beside him!). So awesome seeing so much love/signage at the event. Sadly I don’t have the time to get an NXT video review up but it was a great show.
• I have another radio slot for a Super OSW 64! Level 7 is happening next week! I’ve no specific air time but the podcast version should be available on Wednesday. I’m currently finalising the track list, you can request a track here: OSWreview.com/super-osw-64-level-7-requests
• Got to watch a couple films over the Xmas break, written up a few new reviews! Latest one is Inside Out!

So what’s in the future for OSW:
VIDEO:
IWA King of the Deathmatch (Saturday)
Q&A
Golden Noggers year end awards (Voting will start soon after IWA KOTDM is released)
Part 1 of next storyline

AUDIO:

So from your boys at OSW, hope you had a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn & dignified Ramadan 🙂

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!

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.

(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.

OSW Update (15th June!)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

WHAT BARRRRRR is this Penneys t-shirt? 😀
Notice that “Freaky Foot” is now “Funny Feet” and has lost it’s gouty toe (which was a chocolate wedge). Jay is not amused.

What’s up with OSW!

• Hope you enjoyed our new episode, Final Nitro!
• The audio version is already uploaded:
Android: http://RSS.OSWreview.com
iTunes: http://iTunes.OSWReview.com
Direct Download: (right click, save as)

• Next episode is WWF RAW Simulcast, from the same night as Final Nitro (March 26th) which is also the go-home show of WMX7!
• It’s too soon to give an estimated date for Episode 51, but I’m aiming for the same time next month. I’ll let you know when we’ve recorded and editing is further along 🙂
• I know it doesn’t look like it, but we’ve made significant headway with YouTube. Our plan is to get all our episodes on YT available again, but sadly it’s a slow process getting them vetted!
• We did record something exclusively for a short YouTube video, I should have it edited in the next week. Whenever our YT channel is back in the pink, the next YouTube review is Metal Gear Solid 4! Sorry to leave ye hanging on it!
• Written Film/videogame-review wise, I just finished reviewing the 4 Mad Max films! Next reviews in the pipeline are STATE of Decay and most likely, It Follows.
• Thank you for your lovely feedback re: Super OSW 64, a one off radio show about videogame music I hosted recently. Hoping to snag another slot if available for round 2!

• Some notes about episode 51 (Final Nitro):
– Thanks for being so patient with the wait! Tons of real-life stuff came up meaning I couldn’t edit on my days off like I normally do.
– The original intention of the video had a “worst of WCW” vibe to it, but seeing the end from WCW’s viewpoint at Nitro, it was just sad the way the company closed. So I asked Tri.moon to make a WCW Desire vid instead! Seriously love it. He also made our Dean Ambrose/Brian Pillman mashup for Hell in a Cell 2014 too!
– Next episode will have an OSW artwork showcase! If you wanna draw us anything (like an OSW Monster Truck, or Ghost Linda perhaps!) please send it to us here, twitter or email OSWreview @ gmail. com!
– I’m shocked so many noticed there wasn’t a WHAT BARRRR or Ad Break Questionarium. We did discuss What Bar during the Bam Bam match (there’s so few colours – black,white, pink we just left it be). They’ll be back!
– The Mean Gene/blooper reel at the start of the video was from Jerry Springer’s WWE Network show, Too Hot For TV episode 6 “Bloopers and Blunders”. The show itself is pretty awful (it’s Springer in front of a green screen throwing to clips) but that episode was a goldmine! My favourite was Kane breaking his sledgehammer on the tombstone!
– The Dusty promo used (SummerSlam 89, vs Honky Tonk Man) is my favourite promo of his. You can mark this one down tonight, I’mma kick your bootay, haaa!
– 2 people (so far) know what HANG TIME is.

Until next time, here’s that Ambrose/Pillman mashup!

Jay

OSW Update! 29th May

What’s up with OSW!

• Currently editing Episode 51, Final Nitro! It’s always a pleasure chatting WCW (especially 2001) and it’ll be over an hour long. We’re away this weekend (woooo!) and I need 4 more sessions to finish it; likely gonna drop mid-June. Sorry for the delay, things coming up which mean I can’t edit on my days off. I’ve a few artists that asked for more time so fan artwork will be featured in episode 52! Maffew was kind enough to film an intro for us with a Chikara wrestler so it’ll open up Final Nitro. As always I’ll give you a heads’ up on FB & Twitter when the release day is set 🙂

• New brown t-sharts are being made! They sold out in a few hours which is great but sucks at the same time. The Classic Black one is available in most sizes in the US and the UK!

• Our Lesbian Pollen video is our first video to break 1,000,000 views! It’s gotta be the words “Top 10” and “Lesbian”. Anywoo, we’ve started uploading stand-alone segments from the show to keep the channel ticking over until we get full episodes back onto YT. WWE will give us the go-ahead but it’s a slow process. Already back is No Holds Barred: YouTube.com/watch?v=2tVe9Cdn92E
We did tape some NEW segments just for YouTube! But getting Final Nitro out is the main thing.

• V1 has been streaming his Destiny gameplay with brah MagicZepplin on Twitch the past 2 Saturdays (at 8pm GMT)! He said he’ll do some other games as well after clocking the Destiny DLC. I’ve been hanging out & answering questions in the chat room, but we’ll try sort a way I can join the voice chat without me having to drop 400 bucks for a PS4 😉

• We drop a new written Film or Game review on Tuesdays and Saturdays (unless there’s an OSW video dropping!). Today’s film is the EVIL DEAD remake! (2013)

• We’ll be introducing Ric Flair in West Ham on Saturday!
If you come along please say HELLLLOOOOOOO! We’ll be the three Irish lads with pints. We won’t bite…hard. (that’s an Austin Powers 1 reference). There should be a couple tickets left, check here. We’re really psyched for it! We should get him to record something for OSW. Any ideas?

May 26, 2015
OSW Update 7th April!

Roman: I can. And I will.
Beer Baron (in the distance) : No you won’t!

OSW Update!
• Hope you enjoyed our Brucie Bonus WrestleMania 31 episode with Maffew! If you haven’t seen it yet, clicky here!
• Episode 50 will be No Way Out 2001! Part 2 of the X7 Saga – around mid-April. Please don’t ask me about it, I’m working as hard as I can! 🙂

Other notes:
• New horror film reviews (Wednesdays) and new videogame reviews (Saturdays) written for the site by V1 and myself! Saturday’s videogame review is Danganronpa (aka Donkey Romper) for the Vita!
• Metal Gear Solid 4 is our next videogame YouTube review! Game vids are on hiatus until the YT channel is sorted out as I can’t post longer vids until it’s resolved (including bullshit spam claims). Same with the most recent episodes; it’s in WWE & YouTube’s hands. Dunno when, hopefully soon. Until then every vid will be posted here 🙂 If you or a friend work in Google, please get in touch!
