Happy New Year from OSW!
Getting this in here before the network goes down, lol. Thank you so much for your support this year! It's been a mental one but we finally made it 💚
When Lockdown hit in March, i knew fans would be hit with furloughs and being laid off, and money's tight, so we decided to make NoggerU extra videos free! So anyone a bit strapped wouldn't have to make the choice. I know OSW is a frivolous expense out of your entertainment budget, and I want you guys to look after yourselves first! I expected NU to take a gigantic hit but shockingly pledges went up! That's madness and lol, literally the opposite of what i asked :P But i'm so grateful we're still in b'iness and can keep making what we love! I'm so grateful for this. The show is literally too difficult to create without you guys - thank YOU for keeping OSW going!
Lockdown's been a mofo but thanks to the way OSW is made (a day recording, then 2 months editing) it hasn't slowed us down toooo much. It meant bulk taping pods while the country was temporarily re-opened e.g. Recording 4 OSW episodes in September (Rumble '95 + PreShow, WMXI + PreShow) and we got 'em all out in time for the holidays! So apologies if the WMXI didn't have the regular Xmas banter, it was September, but thankfully Dude Love/Mick Foley brought it!! (it was at the very end of the episode!)
The Lex Express made it's final stop in 2020!
Since March OSW has released 56 videos! What stands out for me is the collabs -- Just to mention a few from 2020 - WCW Baywatch with Allison, WCW Wha Happun with Matt McMuscles, TWO music videos - Dankmus' B A C K L U N D and most recently B L A Y Z E ＷΛＶΣ with Purowave! It's tremendously creatively satisfying. Who would u like to see us collab with in 2021? You can view all 56 vids at Lockdown.OSWreview.com!
To make up 56 vids I released new and old NoggerU film reviews, OSW Playlist episodes, and hired some super-talented editors to help spread the workload. I'll give ya my top 3 surprises from it:
• Our let's watches (IWA KOTDM & Hardcore Homecoming) got their youtube releases and have been super-well received (~200K between them), despite being two of my least favourite videos we've ever released. But even if they're much slower paced and less-focused, maybe you guys like just hanging out with us anyway! It's softened my feelings about Let's Watches.
• "Salty OOC's Top 10 Most Overplayed Moments in History" got shockingly positive feedback - i expected to get a ton of hate mail, turns out most people feel the same way! or maybe it's because it's OOC, who knows lol.
• You guys really enjoyed our Battle Royale film review - which is SO nice to hear! The consensus was that it was because you could hear how much we loved the film, and enjoyed us talking about something good for a change :P Maybe it's being in the depths of the New Gen -- too much mustard gets up your nose!
Ok i'm just bloody rambling now! Just wanted to check in with ye and let you know how grateful I am, your kindness and support bolsters our decisions and gives us the strength in our convictions!
Oh, last thing -- the closures have made getting merch made HORRIFIC, but i'm really proud of SquaredCircle to manage to get US & UK stock for tees (seriously, i've been in contact with head honcho Kev throughout the whole thing and he's worked his ass off), and also OSW masks made! Even with the shops opening and closing we managed to sell about 2/3 of our stock in just a few days! We'll be selling the rest in 2021 and then donating all the profits to the Capuchin Day Centre :)
Anywoo more fun, frolics and good times with OSW in 2021! Golden Noggers, OOC's film choice, and a new arc awaits us! I don't know what it is because no sense in deciding until we can actually act on it! And to give my brain a bit of a rest before the whole machine starts up again.
Here's to 2021 being a banner year for you, because you deserve it 💚
Love Jay, V1 and a cordial nod by OOC

Happy new year to all of you dudes. My wife has got into OSW with me, and we've started watching together. I'd like to see Cultaholic / Maffew epispdes, and I'd love to hear you guys back on Talking Simpsons - it's your appearance that got me into them to start with.
I saw all the OSW episodes during a 10 week furlough. So when people ask me in the future what was life like during that period, I will tell them about the Lex Express.
Ha ha! The lex express on fire is pretty bang on 😆😆 thank u my dude. Did u gain a bit of an Irish accent? 😆
Rain, shine or pandemic, a new OSW video is always something to look forward to. Happy New Year brah's New Arc suggestion - Hogans fed return (no way out 2002, mania 18 and backlash where he won the title) would mean you get back to Hogan for the 100th episode but don't have to spend too long with him
Ah that's lovely mate, cheers!
It was a whopper year on the OSW output. And in a year where good times were very much needed, massive props to ye all on providing so many. Looking back the New Gen arc was a long road, so well done on seeing it out! As for future collabs, as a longtime fan of Phelan it was fun hearing you interact during the Baywatch review. As for someone a little closer to home, I think ye and Super Eyepatch Wolf could be a nice mashup.
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions my dude! Happy New year to you too! 💚
Happy New Year to you to boys. And thank you for making this hard year all the more bearable. Here's to 2021, or hopefully as it will be known in the years to come, The Year of Bruce Hart x
Very kind of ya mate! More Bruce more Bruce more Bruce!
Thanks for the much needed laughs and camraderie. For 3 Mexicans you can make this Nordy laugh. Happy New Year. X
Philip, in cowboy hat: Ya little Mexicans!
Happy New Year to OSW and all the Nogger U alumni
Happy New year to you too mate 💚
Happy New Year lads! Cheers for dragging me through lockdown. Also for helping me impress my Irish girlfriend by knowing what a geansai is 😂
NOICE! btw next time she asks you how you are, respond with "ah sure you know yourself" and that's it. It answers the question with absolutely zero information, it's up to the asker then. Seriously! Lemme know how it goes 😆
That nod from OOC was not cordial. It was grudging at best.
OOC: I'm disgruntled! Before this I was relatively gruntled!
Happy New Years Guys! Be sure to save some Irish Coffee for all of us.
Will do my man! Karolina got me some Polish Mead which makes for good sipping liquor!
When I close my eyes, I see this thing, a sign, I see this name in bright blue neon lights with a purple outline. And this name is so bright and so sharp that the sign - it just blows up because the name is so powerful... It says, 'OSW REVIEW’
That's so lovely mate! I'm sure it's a reference to something I don't get 😆
Thanks for all ye do lads. Happy New Year, and here's to 2021 being more WCW in 1998, and less WCW in 2000
WHO TOLD YO- ....I mean yes! Cheers mate
