KOTR '93 episode commentary
Well helloooooo! hey brahs and bras, hope you enjoyed the KOTR episode! (Clicky https://youtu.be/bKBTHhKgkJI ) I thought I'd give you some little backstage tidbits about the video 🙂 I ran a bit of an experiment here...! V1 told me he was talking to you lads, and you said that I have more "room" to edit, and not have everything be as short as possible -- that you guys like when we talk bollocks. So I intentionally left in a couple of bits I'd usually cut out (adding maybe 5m of runtime), to see if u guys thought it was too long or dragged or whatever. Did it feel overly long? Would u have enjoyed it if It was a little tighter (*squeeze noise*)? OOC had the skuts RIGHT BEFORE we started recording. like literally we ate burger king and that went right through him. most of the show he was like "don't touch me, dont even look at me!" so thats why he was quieter in this ep, and was feeling better halfway through (and so talked more). Almost all of his thoughts made it into the show to stop it from sounding too lop-sided. This video contains segments from future osw episodes because of it's time-sensitive-ness: like V1's twitch bit was recorded during January 2019's episode recording session (!) My bit about "Hitmeng, Deadmeng, Kidmeng" was taped during the OSW Playlist Nov recording sesh, which is coming sometime next week 🙂 same with the t-shart ad. I added OOC quietly laughing in post during the Kidmeng bit in post (see how sneaky i am!) We did record a post-RAW review but instead i scattered relevant bits during the PPV review. It's such a nothing raw I felt it was better used as pre- or post- match points of interest (eg V1 bringing up it was taped ahead of time, across a PPV). The Killing Joke artwork was by Carl Sciacchitano! he also did the Abyss/Joker artwork for the end of the TNA arc. Originally he had "nogger" on the camera but a fan asked if it would be loaded with fuji-film, and i thought that is an INCREDIBLE reference! I wanted to do a Killing Joke cover for a while now and PPVs with a camera as a focal point are hard to come by - it was either KOTR '93 or ...Alex Shelley in TNA. or maybe Billy Kidman's KidCam. Hopefully it was the right choice! There's some bits i wish we did an on-camera show. like OOC's face reacting to Bret/King feuding for 2 years (a defeated forlorn hang-head) and me re-enacting the ref "row-z'ing" panto explaining to the other ref about Luna's interference. I intentionally don't use video of us as it would make production more difficult (editing only audio makes it easier to trim down and fix). The OSW GAME is coming soon! Probably in January! 🤩 There was no plug for the next episode at the end of the show, because i balls'd it up. i originally said it was SummerSlam 93 (and got the # wrong!) but #77 is actually our Christmas Brucie Bonus episode! it's a wrestling show and very relevant, you guys will love it. OOC said it was his fav recording session of the year 🙂 And lastly.... The reason this episode took quite long to come out (even if it was only recorded just a month ago) was that we've actually recorded the next two shows already! Both are Brucie bonus episodes although Xmas ep is very relevant! It also means that there won't be a huge ravine between the last show of one year and the first show of the next. (Last year had nothing in Jan and 3 vids in Feb) I've been pushing and pushing really hard to see progress on 4 projects simultaneously (3 osw eps and juggling the song contest, latest radio show, and osw playlist) OSW Schedule: OSW 76: King of the Ring 93 https://youtu.be/bKBTHhKgkJI OSW 77: Dec: Christmas ep (Brucie Bonus WWF show) OSW 78: Jan: Brucie Bonus (wrestling movie review) Jan: Golden Noggers #6 Apologies for the wall of text but I'm on my phone! See you guys for osw playlist soon!

Not too long at all Jay. The first thing I check when playing a new OSW is the runtime hoping to see it being a long one! Was absolutely buzzing to see this one running longer than the last few 🙂 the episodes are just getting better and better lads.
Best subscription I've gotten ever. I have Netflix and the network and all I ever do in my spare time is listen to 3 fellow dubs talk about wrestling, the work you put in is not unnoticed believe me. Fantastic stuff Jay
aw thanks so much Gary! That's so kind :) Reading this made me happy!
Always, ALWYS want it longer *V1 farty sound*
Aww you guys are the best! 💚💚 Will take what u guys said on board and let it stew in my noodle over Xmas 😊
Great job Jay! Also agree it felt fine in terms of length!
I did notice OOC being a bit quieter in some parts, but I'm glad he got to feeling better by the end. I had no mind about the length. It was really enjoyable! And yeah, Monday Night Raw at this time was hardly the must-see show it would be by 97 or 98. With only a one hour time slot there's bound to be only snippets of details to mention. So, good call on interspersing the follow-ups throughout. You did a really stellar job on this one!
Just want to add to those saying that "too long" has never been a complaint of mine
I don't mind the episodes being a little longer. The banter is great
I'm absolutely on board with the looser edit. A 90 minute episode just blows by too fast for me. I'm always left wanting more! Especially when there's always good stuff in the deleted scenes. Just chuck it all in! Can't wait to hear next month's ep already. Keep up the wonderful work. Always $5 well spent each month!
I love the banter Jay, makes me wish for an occasional audio shit-talking pod. But I understand y'all have jobs and families and such. I would love to hear more of you guys about the Simpsons. Your appearance on Talking Simpsons was awesome! Throw Maffew in there too since he was on it recently.
Bigger is better. just ask vince
*Abyss squeeze noise*
I'm in the camp of loving the banter! Don't feel pressed to make these super short. All of us love the long form content. I actually put this on over dinner with my wife, so the length was perfect (squeeze noise).
Thank you for working so hard for us! Having your content in our lives is like a quality of life improvement. *squeeze noise*
Honestly Jay, the more content from you the better. If I have only one complaint ( believe me, it's not a big one) is that I wish there was more content from OSW. I would even be interested in pure audio, like a podcast, with out the video. Also would listen to unedited audio of your reviews too. Keep up the great work! KOTH was amazing! Probably the best one so far on the Lex Express story arc.
Watched it at 3am as I could not sleep and was a whopper episode as ever! I must say that it is good to see Cunt Hogan going out with a whimper but knowing that the most boring ever champ in my opinion- Bert Hunt- is coming kinda makes my heart heavy-pardon the pun! Sorry...I didn't say that earlier. Top work fellas again
I loved the fact it was almost 2hrs. More lovely content! Didn’t drag or feel too long. I much prefer it long… *squeeze noise*
