🎂🎉 It's OSW's 15th Birthday Today!!
Well helloooo!
15 eh? Any chance you could run into Tesco and buy us some of their cheapest, strongest booze 😃 Crazy. Thanks for being with us brahs - we wouldn't still be doing it if it wasn't for you!

I'm not big on anniversaries or celebrations, so here's some advice for doing a project this long:
Do exactly what you want. Because in case you blow up, you want it to be something you enjoy making!
Do it with people you love. V1 & OOC are literally my two favourite people to chat to in the world.
Stand behind everything you produce. Paul Heyman (recounting at his HoF speech) told Roman to treat every match as an audition for the next. And I still think about that quote. Make every show an advertisement to stick around for next time 🤘🙂
Smaller bits of advice:
Sort out your audio asap! People can stand crap visuals, but crap audio is a difficult hurdle. Still getting haunted by the "rock band mic in a popcorn tub" era of OSW 😂
Upskill in every area. Video editing, audio editing, research, presentation. Try find interesting ways to frame and deliver information, and let curiosity drive you.
That said, it's more important that people enjoy you, rather than your technical prowess.
It's a terrible time to be a worldwide rock star, but a fantastic time to possibly do something as a living. You don't need a million fans. Or hundreds of thousands of fans. If you had 1,000 dedicated fans, you could do it full time. Like, OSW isn't actually that big, but YOU GUYS make damn sure that "the algorithm" doesn't have final say! 🔥🔥
Anywoo, it's mad that I get to do this as a living. I'll keep trying to impress and surprise ya brahs. Here's to the next 15 🙂🍻
Lots of love,
Jay 💚

14.9 years ago, i left a comment complaining about your mic audio
Roman sure followed that advice, which is probably why I haven’t watched WWE in ages.
Happy 15th birthday, OSW!
Congrats! Have you guys ever considered revisiting your earliest reviews? Like the first 10 or so? You didn't really have the three of you consistently and the show was so different then. I'd love for you guys to tackle those early Wrestlemanias in your modern style.
Can of Coke to the gang for levelling up from the poverty pop microphone to the big time production. OSW 4 Life.
OSW is 15? How is he so YOUNG???
15 years is longer than you'd get for deliberately running someone over in a white Hummer (or was it black?). You boys have absolutely ruined me, and I couldn't be happier. A note went out in work last week about a new manager starting. His surname is Skinner and I instinctively went "SKIINNNNEEERRR" . Keep doing what you do best. A winner is definitely all of us! Looking forward to the next episode
Thanks is to be given every day, but eckspeshully this day. Since even if you're not that big, you're a giant in our hearts. OSW, 100 years! 100 years, OSW! Patreon dot com! Tatanka, buffalo! < 3
Congrats OSW! Here’s to 15 more. 🥂
Might be enough time to get Heidenreich over! Thank you for inspiring the show, and upholding your high integrity, professionalism and workrate all these years. I'm always in your corner 💚
I discovered you lads during the Arquette trilogy and I can’t thank you guys enough for the endless hours of entertainment. Keep it up you fookin animals!
Happy boifdee, yer fook'n animals yer
1st video i watched was Summerslam 89, can't believe it's been 15 years. Thank you so much for the hundreds of hours you ,V1 & OOC has put into this. Best wrestling content there is BAR none
OSW is almost too old for Jerry Lawler.. allegedly
Allegedly doing some heavy lifting today!!
Can't say thank you enough Jay/V1/OOC for the laughter and happiness you have given me over the years. Whenever I've been down, I would always resort to watching you's to try and get away from regular life for an episode or 2 to cheer me up. I of course watch you in happy times as well though just to make it clear haha. Thanks for the 15 years and happy birthday 🎂 🥳
THANK YOU OSW
I love the show's sincerity. It brings truly happy times into my life. And it's been such an honour to watch you develop in your craft. You deserve your success for constantly taking something we already love and somehow keep making it better.
By the way I love Vader doing the shimmy!
I cannot believe it's been 15 years. The amount of rewatches/relistens have to be in the hundreds. OSW is one of my favorite things to put on while I'm driving long distances. You lads just put an undeniable smile on my face, and improve my mood no matter what's going on. I'm sure I'm not the only one when I say that I feel like I'm in the room with you. Thank you for everything that you've done. It goes far beyond just enjoyment of wrestling. The movie reviews are fantastic as well. I absolutely love you Boys. If I'm ever back in Dublin, the pints are on me. Ya Fookin Animals!
Happy Birthday lads and thank you for all you do! A winner is all of us!
Happy 15th birthday to OSW! This show has gotten me through more hard times than I care to count. Thank you for all the years of entertainment, I always look forward to the next one.
Happy Birthday OSW
Happy Birthday OSW! Ya fooking animals!
I have no memory of how I even found out about you guys a long time ago. First segment of video I remember seeing was the Jake vs Warrior “don’t trust a snake” angle. Either way, what an amazing milestone!
15 years! Damn man that's insane
Thank you for bringing so much wrestling joy to the world
Happy Birthday OSW
I would say congratulations, but I think most proper is to thank you for 15 years! Look forward to another 15!
