OSW Update! (late March)
Well helloooooo!
Hope you're having a lovely hump day and enjoying the fun build up to Mania. Isn't is so cool having Heel Hollywood Rock back? Anywoo here's what's cookin on OSW!
Dest X dropped on the weekend! woo! Thanks for your lovely words on it. We've been having a lot of fun squeezing blood from a stone during the 2nd half of the MEM storyline. I adore the Borderlands aesthetic and since Psycho has huge Suicide vibes, it felt really fitting.
What's coming up on OSW? We've three big videos in development, prepping for 2 more :)
• Next up is OSW 130, Lockdown 2009! Final editing is under way. couple different sections are finalised, hoping to get the bulk of it done in the next week or so - we need to re-record a few bits as the audio cable went a bit crappy for a few sections. Luckily it only accounts for maybe 1-2 minutes of the episode so it shouldn't be too hard so slip in. squeeze noise. This one will be over 2 hours as it includes OOC's book review! (Mick wrote about his journey to the TNA title with "Countdown to Lockdown").
• Afterwards it's OSW 131 Victory Road (which is recorded and audio edited, and is being video edited at the moment!!) I'm interested to see what ye guys think of the historic Jenna Morasca vs Sharmell bout, and our coverage of it!
Final episodes of the MEM arc:
• Lockdown 2009 (Mick Foley wins TNA title)
• Victory Road 2009 (featuring that MINUS FIVE STARS match!)
• Bound For Glory 2009 (end of the MEM run)
• +/- 1 more! Possibly a more recent TNA PPV, I'm chatting with the guys on what'd be the most fun. If you have any suggestions of more modern (ie 2011-onwards) TNA shows to cover please leave a comment below!
• ELDEN RING DEEP DIVE: In between editing OSW episodes, we'll be working on our Elden Ring Deep Dive! It'll be literally the biggest video we've ever done (audio on it is 3.5 hours!) and it's the first deep dive with OOC! It's coming along great, it's an absolute behemoth, atm there are 31 sections to the review. We're hoping to finish it early June (in time for the DLC).
• Free Patron Merch! And lastly, $10+ patreon tier presents should start being created & shipped out in the next few weeks!
If you're $10 or higher, please could you check your shipping address is correct on your pledge? Go to https://www.patreon.com/settings/memberships/OSWreview and the shipping address should be right there!
I'll send out a PM separately so everyone can see it :)
btw if you're not on the $10 tier you can get in for month 1 of 3 now, but pls don't if money's tight. It's just a cool thing Patreon added recently - I just set it to the lowest pledge amount and then after 3 successive months of pledging, patreon will send you an email saying "hey we're shipping u a thing"! and it'll do so every 3 months for a year :)
So TL/DR:
OSW Lockdown coming to NU sometime in the next 2 weeks!
OSW Victory Road after that!
Elden Ring Deep Dive early June!
If pledging a tenner or higher please check your shipping address is correct here https://www.patreon.com/settings/memberships/OSWreview
Alrighty back to editing! See ya in the funny pages brothers (and 7% sisters!)
Love, Jay 💚

A Wrestlmania 40 vid would be so amazing. Some might say unbelievable! Mostly because you guys haven’t done much modern WWE in a while. I would love to hear all of your takes on the current state of WWE in depth. Maybe throw in a bit of Maffew while we’re at it as long as OOC doesn’t try to grab him like Punk and Jack Perry at Wembley.
Just got the tracking number for the merch! Thanks so much!
Still waiting for my chocolate braaaaah
yo! we're sending out a few rounds physical merch this year! hope that'll tide ya over til we find a new distributor for what bars :)
For the Discord, what's the story, cause my tier should have access but I've not gotten anything for that.
check ur dms!
I don't know how modern you're looking to go, but it's hard to beat Against All Odds 2023. Sabin and Shelley both win singles titles and, from what I've heard, they just might be your favorite tag team of all time. Bound for Glory 2023 is a better show overall, but it's tough to beat world champion Alex Shelley.
Victory road 2011
Would love to see you guys review the first ppv of the new TNA run
Modern day TNA Brucie Bonus would be cool! Bound for Glory from last year could be a fun comparison point like how you ended the Black Reign arc (BFG 07 jumping to BFG 17). Plus, OOC would get to cover Ospreay and V1 would get a Mickie James match. Hard to Kill from this year would be a fun retrospective to look at the rebrand to TNA and where they go following that show (D'Amore getting unfortunately fired and the locker room unrest that followed).
I have a modest request: If you have an Ad-Break Questionarium for Lockdown 2009, can the clip for it be related to the time Mankind was on Celebrity Deathmatch? I understand the footage might be a little tricky to find, but I just wanted to through that out there. Also, consider Slammiversary 2022 for a modern TNA review.
Victory Road 2011 has, probably, one of the most notable PPV main events in history, although it has been covered to DEATH.
Im gonna to ignore the 2010-11 Hogan era and Aces and 8s angle ppvs as they should be arcs themselves. Id say Slammiversary 2012 is perfect for the Bobby Roode title run, or if u want the real bollix, any of the first three 2014 ppvs when Russo was secretly writing the show. if your going for a more modern era, Bound for Glory 2018 (Aries no selling the mainevent), any of the Kenny Omega 2021 events (does however have the covid attendance which really timestamps it) or last years Bound for Glory simply for Ospreay vs Speedball
Hot dog! (and Grand stand!)
Keen for it all. Killing it with the non-wrestling stuff too 👌
Im trying to think of anything I can do to convince Jay to do The Final Deletion, Victory Road 2011 (bad taste on my end sorry lmao), any of the Fortune and Immortal story. I'd dig or delve into A&8's territory, but I feel like that would warrant its own story arc full of bollocks lmao.
U guys r fookin animals. Keep up the good work. Thx for all your dedication
Proud to be part of the 7% 😂
Cany wait ma guys all killer no filler as always. 👌
we're in too deep, we're trying to keep
Apologies if this is a weird thing to ask but for the ad-break questionarium cameos, do you approach people or wait for people to approach you? Just thought that with it being TNA, Luke Owen from WrestleTalk would be a shoe-in for one of these (and another platform for him to troll how Steiner Maths is the greatest promo ever)
yo! bit of both really. some reach out to us, others we reach out to them. it's just never top of my queue because i'm always chasing up different elements for the show! thanks for letting me know :)
DROOLING over that Elden Ring deep dive. If it's anywhere near the level of God of War or Last of Us 2, it should be a banger. To say nothing of how amazing this TNA run has been. Good for the soul to go back and remind yourself the things you're nostalgic for weren't anywhere near perfect.
