🎉It's our 10th Anniversary Today!!
Heya brahs and bras!
Absolutely mental, 10 years ago today (5/5/2011) we released WrestleMania 1! It's been a wild ride, had no idea it would actually catch on and be able to do this for a living. And it's thanks to everyone here, seriously we would've have made it without you guys 💚
We've gotten to do cool things; like collab with so many cool artists, animators, musicians, editors; and do crossovers including Maffew, Allison, Matt McMuscles, POST Wrestling, even had a Live show in Orlando! To celebrate 10 years we're releasing OOC's The Hobbit (2 hours from now) but we'd love to know, what made ya join NoggerU? Was it a particular episode or arc or...? Tell us!
Love Jay, V1 & OOC
p.s. A Winner Is You! 💚

“Veritable who’s that” After that I was all in . Chefs kiss lads
Watched you guys for a long time on the ol'botchamania website and never stopped watching. Joined Patreon to buy you guys a pint. Cheers from Canada!
The wrestlemania 6 review popped up in my recommendations one day on YouTube, your videos have helped me get through so much throughout the last few years.
First patreon I've ever supported and I went for the top tier as we're dealing with top lads creating top content. Sent my movie review request and hope it gets picked up 🙏
I think it's absolutely awesome to see this go from being a fan project to something that's a viable living for you guys. Happy to be a supporter.
Had been following since you appeared on botchamania.com (2012?). I always thought your film reviews were some of the stronger ones so signed up when you offered Kane and Ziggles being buddy cops.
It was around 2014 and I was just browsing YouTube to find something related to Survivor Series 89. I came across your review of it and was intrigued (especially V1's suggestion of calling the 4x4s Faggot instead). At the time, I decided to check out more of your videos. You were in the middle of the ECW story arc, so I decided to start from WrestleMania I and work my way up. I've been a fan ever since. I joined Nogger U some time in 2017 because I enjoyed your content and wanted to support it any way I could. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I watch an episode and it cheers me up. And whenever I'm having a good day, I watch an episode anyway to make it better. You guys bring a lot of joy and laughter and I appreciate that, especially considering the shit year we've all been experiencing. Happy Anniversary, lads! Thank you for all that you do. Here's to 10 more years of OSW greatness/bollocks!
A friend mentioned the podcast, and I decided to check it out. Started with WM1, and watched them all in order, probably was up to episode in the mid teens as it was the most recent episode. Been a fan since, and tell anyone with a shed of wrestling interest about it. Starting March of 2020, I needed cheering up about the pandemic, and I have fallen asleep to one of the episodes every night. My lucky girlfriend shares the bed with me, and three charming Irish lads. She got me Patreon in October of 2020 as a Xmas gift, for 3 months because I wanted my new favorite possession of the OSW Review coffee mug. I've kept it since and likely will because it's the least I can do for the endless amounts of entertainment I've received. Thank you.
I don't remember what I watched first from you, but I just became addicted once I first watched. So, I eventually watched all of the reviews and waited for new stuff from there. You are funny guys who like to review old wrestling stuff. For that, I'll give you that money for another Virgil autograph.
Congratulations on the ten year anniversary my entry to the series was the David Arquette arc still one of the funniest of the entire show but my favourite and the one that convinced me to support on patron was the black reign arc I swear that’s the funniest thing I have ever seen and gave me an appreciation of tna wrestling that I never had before. Cheers and hope for many more years of awesome entertainment
After 10 years, Jay deserves a "'97" arc, especially having suffered through the OOC era of New Gen + Hobbit!
Congratulations! And thank you for ten years of solid content! Here's hoping OSW continues for many years, long enough that OOC is forced to rewatch the Mania 12 Iron Man match! (I suspect that's the one he's dreading the most!)
The fact you guys are willing to actually show wrestling video content on your channel, knowing that it will create endless battles with WWE/YouTube bots made me think “wow, these guys really give a shit about their vision for what they want their content to look like.” It also shows you guys have a massive dedication to your fan base, so it only seems fair to pay it back in return.
I was an instant fan after finding you guys from a clip of every Ed Leslie gimmick on Reddit. I joined the Patreon once I found out about it initially but ultimately had to stop it as I fell on hard times financially. When I cancelled it was just before a new video was to release and Jay personally sent me a message on patreon to say despite the fact I couldn't continue to support for the moment that I shouldn't miss out on the new content. From that point onward I said to myself I will never stop supporting this group of fellow racist Irishmen so long as I can do it and I've been here ever since. That will always stick with me and although it isn't a moment in a video, it is the moment that will forever be my favourite. So Jay and Ed Leslie were the catalyst
After rewatching all the episodes for the 2nd or 3rd time, I felt guilty about all the free entertainment you guys were providing me and figured I should give you all a few bucks a month as a way to say thank you.
Favorite moment would be less OSW and move about gaming with Steve. When he got his gjallhorn or when I told him press F to duck while driving in a car. I subbed because I wanted the chocolate bar.
This is exactly what everyone was hoping for for an anniversary! Just kidding, lots of love guys!
I've followed you guys for years and you were the first Patreon I ever did, (I even rightly or wrongly take credit for the Yoko on A boat Brucie bonus episode cause I think I was the first to alert Jay to the fact the bodyslam challenge was on the network. Hey we all need a claim to fame, right?) 😂🤣 Unfortunately I got made redundant twice through the pandemic and had to stop all my patreon payments......but then mah boy of boys Jay Hunter made everything going forward free until things get back to normal, which I think might just be the thing that kept me sane. Thank you guys for a decade of awesome content and as soon as I can, I'll be supporting you again.
You are the only guys I support on Patreon. I watched you for a long time and just thought "they never disappointed me and always entertain me" so I just had to give back. I always go back to Episodes and never get tired of rewatching them over and over again. I like the chemistry you 3 guys have and I just love your editing, Jay! Thank you so much for 10 years of quality content! What Bar is OSW? A "wunderbar"!
I’ll be short & sweet: the real winners are you, we’re just happy to be a part of your crazy ride. I promise not to charge $45. 😉
I've watched all the episodes multiple times and have enjoyed them all. Only seemed fair to pay you back
Three Irish guys that love wrestling and the Simpsons. I mean OSW is basically the video version of me and my mates having a chat. As soon as I saw ye were starting a Patreon, I knew I wanted in a small way to help support ye guys after all the free entertainment over the years. Was a day 1 NU signup and not leaving anytime soon. Super impressed at how you've streamlined things and have been getting things out on such a regular basis especially with everything going on. Massive props to you all.
Also I joined NoggerU cause of OOC he is my nigga
For me it's due to having the pleasure of meeting you guys at NXT Dublin and confirming that you guys were genuinely lovely lads, getting to interact with you and V1 on discord/twitch is always a pleasure too so I can say I've never felt ripped off
Randomly realising Botchamania had a website decided to check it out came across the tryout which I believe was No Holds Barred. I was 16 at the time and was hooked since. Only grown to appreciate you more as I've got older and was ecstatic everytime I saw a random reference on R/SquaredCircle. As soon as I could spare the cash I wanted to support and also not wait as long for/ have more OSW content. Have unsubbed and resubbed a couple of times due to finances and really appreciated receiving an email from you guys wishing me well and with the latest patron content of that month despite cancelling.
I found your Mania 9 video while I was looking for wrestling opinion videos that weren't just top ten lists. I was immediately taken aback at how long the video was so I thought I'd click on it. I was BLOWN AWAY by the production values, I couldn't believe that it was full of gaming and Simpson's references and also that you were able to show WWE footage with it been copyright struck. I instantly fell in love with your content from then on. Though I only recently joined Nogger U cos I was waiting for finances to make it possible and now I'm pleased that I can help contribute. Happy 10th birthday OSW Review, here's to the next ten. A winner is you.
As a fellow Irishman (Derry!!) whose the same age as the guys (I think) and loves Simpsons, Wrestling, Alan Partridge etc whats there not too like. I think it was Summerslam 1990 I watched first and I was hooked. The guys have always been sound and really kind to their fans and supporters. Jay even said I had a beautiful voice during the song contest! On the other hand the Osw community is really great and encouraging to each other which makes it a no brainer really
I had to give back. The content was too good to be free. Also its different. Good different. You guys do an incredible job and you should be proud. Nogger4life
I supported other folks on Patreon before Nogger U so I was happy to sign up when it launched. I’ve been a nogger since back when we were called “lovely cunts,” so I wanted to contribute what little I could to help you make a decent living creating the content I love. When you said the long term goal was to make enough to hire V1 full time, I immediately upped my pledge to help make it happen.
You make me laugh, I buy you a pint. Simple decency :)
I don’t know when I discovered OSW but I know it was during the original concept, chronologically critiquing the Hulkamania era, Pay Per View by Pay Per View. You read my review of the Chyna book on an episode. You called me “Elly” Grimes. It’s pronounced EE-LIE, ya gobshites. Anyway, the reason I joined the Patreon is because I had been a subscriber to your YouTube for many years and although I am one of those elusive Unicorns that actually PAY FOR YOUTUBE, (I just hate commercials) I felt like a deadbeat. I found it very important to directly give you money to support your highly entertaining product. My girlfriend was subjected to your unique show during the stricter time of the lockdowns and now she won’t let me watch a new episode without her! We love you guys. Thanks for the years laughs, the insights into why Hogan was such a cunt and for the countless Simpsons references that I now have to explain to my old lady. Cheers.
Happy anniversary you fookin animals thanks for doing what you do! You have inspired many people to podcast about silly bollocks and wrestling. Cheers mates winners are you! 🍻🍻
Dungeon of Doom. After watching that, I knew I had to support to keep the content churning. Sunny Side Up also helped lol.
I joined NoggerU because at the time, it was the only way to see your movie reviews. I loved your wrestling podcasts, ( they got me through a really dark time when my mom needed open heart surgery, and the laughs kept my anxiety from becoming too much to handle.) and now me, my ma and my brother all watch every new episode whenever one comes out! She personally loves You Jay, she finds you, quote: “delightfully snarky”.
Man, I remember my first OSW in 2012, it was the Macho Man tribute I believe? Life has never been the same.
Congrats!! I found you all via the Wha Happun episode Jay did with Matt. Being a kid growing up in the early 80s, I was overjoyed to see your review of the Hulkamania era. From there on I was hooked even tho I gave up wrasslin in the early 90s. P.S. I’m also a huge Fallout mark and noticed that Adam Bomb wore a blue and yellow onesie in the early 90s! Early Vault Boy inspiration perhaps, lol?!?!?
Joined you guys at the end of the ECW arc (please revisit ECW some day!) and once I got my first job I wanted to support you because with all the work you put in and all the entertainment you've provided me you've more than earned it.
i remember finding you guys around capital carnage and just laughing like mad at everything. i joined patreon just to support you guys and remembered one month no being able to pay and jay send a message saying it was alright and link to whatever it was that was going on that month. always felt like you guys cared about you fans and now feel indebted to you for your kindness and just being a great bunch of lads. happy 10th anniversary and hope for 10 more.
Congrats to you guys for progressing over ten years to making a living doing something that you love. You guys are just so entertaining and deserve every bit of success. I signed up just so I could hear more often the hybrid of wrestling, simpsons and of course Creed!!
Congrats gents, 10 big ones is a mighty effort indeed! A big helloo to you all, to this day spending multiple quality beer/pizza times with you all in Orlando remains a special, special memory. I sincerely hope for a repeat one day, in some far-flung American city, over another bloated Mania weekend. Take care!
Congrats on the anniversary Jay, V1 & OOC. The reason I joined Patreon ? I was a fan that started watching you guys at the tail end of the Hogan arc and continued to wait with bated breath for new episodes to watch from there. As soon as you launched Patreon I signed up, I felt I owed you so much already for your content and wanted to support you guys to continue making episodes. Keep doing what you're doing. A winner is you !
First of all, congratulations! What a ride it has been. Second of all, I want those action figures!! Just awesome!
I joined NoggerU because I found OSW on YouTube in September 2019 and watched through the entire back cataloge in about a month and NEEDED more. Been happily subbed for well over a year now. You guys are just such fun to listen to and I love interacting with Jay through here and V1 & B1 on Twitch. It kind of makes me feel a personal attachment to the show. As for favorite episode it's hard to pick one so I'll give a top 3. In no order: The Room review, Exposed, and The Lex Express. Cheers to 10 years Brahs and here's to 10 more!!
Hey Brahs, I joined NoggerU because I legit loved your content so much that it was worth for me giving you a few bucks (after being a filthy freeloader for so long) to see the new episodes just that much faster. Fun fact, I usually watch your episodes in bed and my GF, who knows nothing about wrestling at all, is now also what I would generously call "a fan". She got suckered in by your funny accents and stayed for the bollocks.
I joined not long after the pandemic started even though you started releasing the Nogger U content for free on YouTube. You guys have brought me a lot of joy over the years and figured instead of wasting my money to scroll endlessly through Netflix or Hulu that I'd much prefer to send it your way. Echoing Chris Dykeman, your content has gotten me through some pretty lousy times over the past four years so it's a pleasure to contribute anyway I can. Here's to another 10 years, fellas! 🥳
Cheers! I'm a patron because I will always pay for quality. I will also pay for three irish counts to gab on about sweaty, shouty, old men.
My husband (then boyfriend) wouldn't stop laughing and I had to know why. Now here I am, using Super OSW 64 to beat Hollow Knight and laughing along with him. Still don't quite understand what's going, but I know I'm happier for having OSW in my life. Thanks, gentlemen!
I joined NoggerU day 1 because you guys have had such a profound impact on me and my mental health. Easiest decision I made in a long time.
Cheers on the anniversary all. I joined Nogger U after being a free loader and getting so much laughter and fun. Had intended to join once I had the funds, especially after the Dungeon of Doom arc. Once the world shut down and the panic the world went into. I thought it was a class move to offer the Nogger U videos to all until the world was whole again. Went through some rough times, and you boys helped me escape and feel like everything wasn't so mad. Stay safe all, and congratulations again
Congrats on 10 years! OSW has definitely provided some laughs and levity during some dark and boring periods. I know the first video I ever saw was the Ready to Rumble review. And from there, it was quickly devouring the back catalog. Might have joined the Patreon during the TNA arc? Can't quite remember. Anyway, can a' Coke to the lot of ya. Cheers!
Whenever Matt McMuscles Roman Reign'd you guys I hopped in and never left.
I've watched so many of your reviews and play them back so much I felt like I needed to pay you for your fins work. Usually I know individuals make plenty off of youtube but when i found out WWE takes the ad revenue I joined
Congrats on the anniversary! I joined because I had been a fan for ages. I work looooong shifts by myself so a couple of OSW episodes always helps break up the day! Had to give back since you lads had been keeping me company for so long!
My first episode was World war 3. Was it a crazy episode and Hulk Hogan in all his cuntish glory. Liked the episode and instantly got started with the attitude Era Arc and there has been no turning back since. I may have seen all the episodes atleast 3-4 times! Your Lex Luger arc is my favourite, you lads have legit made me a Lex mark lol. Anyway, thanks for everything lads! Here's to 10 more 😊🍻
I think I was searching for a review of SummerSlam 1990 and stumbled across you fellas and given that you're like the exact same age as me and have the exact same love and adoration for 80s and early 90s WWF, and that you're funny as hell, it was a heck of a find.
Although I do say "fuck off" and "cunt" way too much now thanks to you blokes 😂
I think I jumped in at Wrestlemania 3. Would love you to do an Outsiders story arc, “but who’s side is he on?”
Would def be a great Arc. Or a DX story arc.
Just so we are sure, this is not the anniversary of when this was conceived. A winner is you guys!
Genuinely was just the amount of times I’ve watched the videos. Wanted to repay you guys in some way. Happy 10 years. Hobbit ep is class and I’m not even a LOTR fan (sorry OOC).
An easy decision to give back to the show that gave me so much for free for a long time
It was watching the entire Hulkamania story arc from start to finish. I was cracking up the whole fucking time. It was then I realized you lads were just a sick an deprived as me. Love it. Can O Coke to all of you. Keep up the good work fellas. 🤘
Thanks for all ya do boys, you've been glimmers of joy in some dark times. Here's to 10 more!
It was the thought of you becoming as homeless as V1 if we didn't support you.
Jay with a tattered waistcoat outside the chippy, with a sign saying "Will rate boy stable for $$$"
