OSW Update! [GNs & more!]
Heya brahs and bras!
Hope you're having an amaze week, apologies for the cloak & dagger, wanted to wait until I've lots of news before posting. Here's what's going down in Groovestown!
We're working on SIX videos at the moment!
Stuff that'll be released sooner and other ones that are honestly, a year away, that need time for artists/animators to do their thing and make perfect. I've been kinda keeping these things close to the vest because I still want to 'wow' and surprise you! Also no sense talking about stuff until it's on the horizon & final editing begins. But here's what's coming up!
Golden Noggers Still in Production
Sorry it's taking longer than expected, i'd hoped to have it out by now. But production is going great! It just needs more time in the oven. I'm getting a custom fun intro done & animating some artwork which I think'll really add to the vid. Should be finished in 2-3 weeks but I'll update further when we're almost ready to rock! It's a 2-hour behemoth because we had so much fun talking bollocks! To tide you over, here's a picture of the most beautiful man Greg The Gastank:
New Physical rewards! Main Event Candle to $20+ tier
We're teaming up with Main Event Candles to send a NEW 125ml Golden Nogger candle to everyone $20 or above! Anyone can avail of this, just increase your pledge for $20 and when it goes through, just go back to the regular tier. I'll be sending out another post about it when it's ready to ship (mid-July!)
Really happy working with Main Event Candles on OSW scented candles, they were cool with donating all our profits to charity!
Re: What Bars! Atm it's too hot to send out chocolate bars (i did a test run and they arrived horribly melty) so we'll send out bars when it gets a bit cooler. There's Physical Patreon awards (cup/poster) that they currently ship; I asked Patreon about sending stuff to the $5+ tier but it's below Patreon's minimum amount, which annoys me no end! I'll hassle them again at their Dublin event this week. But anyway i thought i should at least tell people about the $20 tier Golden Nogger candle!
Resident Evil Village Deep Dive
The DLC has been announced for ~Halloween! Whopper. So we've been working on finishing the Deep Dive (it's 2hrs10 so far!) Myself & v1 will need to re-record some bits to make it gel; the plan will be releasing it first on NoggerU, then publicly closer to the DLC drop. But this DD (heh, lady DD) has custom artwork, animation, music, a funky animated retrospective... I really hope you'll love it! This should be out after the OSW Watchalong :)
OSW SummerSlam 1993 YT b.s.!
SONY (the cunts) gave us a copyright takedown for music WE HAVE A LICENCE FOR (AIT80s) and we're working to get it restored. It's pretty frustrating, trying to get such a large company with different departments which don't know what the other is doing just gets ya down. But I'm feeling confident we'll get it back, it just needs time. Anywoo, V1 to the rescue! You can stream the removed episode here on twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1506600918?t=00h02m42s
^ this is what the strike looks like
Edit: In the initial post we asked for Qs for our next Watchalong, and we've recorded it! If we didn't get to yours hopefully we can use it next time!
Thanks for reading! Don't leave me hangin'...like Marty
TL/DR?
• Six videos being worked on atm!
• Golden Noggers out in 2-3 weeks
• OSW Watchalong after the Golden Noggers, leave ur Q for us below!
• Resi 8 Deep Dive out on NU after the watchalong
• $20 Patrons get a Golden Nogger-scented Candle (be on the tier if u want one!)
Sláinte!

Uh question for the barbecue chef: don't you think there is an inherent danger in sending underqualified civilians into space?
JAY! What was your first, “oh man, this is AWESOME!” moment as a kid when you first knew you were a wrestling fan? Since I could only watch WcW reruns at 6am on Sundays before my parents woke up, it was Bunkhouse Buck in his fuckin’ white long sleeve shirt pinning jobbers. Still not sure how that flipped the switch, but here we are. Thank you for all that you do. Your work ethic, attention to detail and overall commitment to excellence does not go unnoticed. Thank you for helping me through some rough nights. Cheers boys!
Are there more wheels or doors in the world?
Ye said in a previous Q&A about which soccer teams you support? I can’t remember Jays, but V1 was Leeds and OOC was Spurs. Thoughts on how the teams have performed lately and thoughts for the season ahead?
With various wrestlers having their own favourite foreign object, triple H and the sledgehammer, Jim Duggan and the Fa..Urm bits of wood. What would be the foreign object of choice for each of you lads?
Sorry for the extra question. With the Warrior angle in WCW just finishing, would you BRAHS consider a special episode featuring the One Warrior Nation..... A wrestler who was a copycat WORSE than Renegade Here is the WORST match of not only his career but also the number 5 of the Bottom 25 of Cagematch.net I recommend EVERYONE see this.... https://youtu.be/I7XSpHDuH1Y
Do you guys have any favourite jokes?
My question is this. Given that God is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?
Can I borrow a feeling? Could you send me a jar of love?
During the x7 arc you mentioned that you would be interested in doing the invasion storyline. Are you still interested?
Fantasy booking for a boys v boys stable ppv? King of the boys?
Who in wrestling has gotten too much hate in you boys' opinions? And who has gotten away with far too little?
What's one thing each of you want us ignorant Yanks to know about Ireland?
What's the equivalent of a Boys' Stable for women wrestlers? The Cailín Corral? The Bean Barn?
For OOC and V1 (and possibly a future Jay): Do you WANT your children to be wrestling fans, or would you/are you glad they don't really care?
Knowing that Jungle Boy is the son of Luke Perry, does that make Krusty the Clown his uncle? (see Simpsons episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled")
What opinion from an older video do you think has aged poorly? Or aged well?
Would you rather have fingers for toes or toes for fingers ?
Would you rather never use a spoon again? Or never use a fork again?
What advice would you give children, specifically vis-a-vis dancing and whether or not they should stop?
Mr. OOC, when you are six feet from the edge, what are you thinking?
I'll just ask one question... WHAT IF, WHAT IF, WHAT IF, WHAT IF, WHAT IF IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?
Mr. OOC what is your favorite John Cena T-shirt? Also can we get more Salty Top 10s from you?
What are your favorite video games of all time?
What's your favourite episode that you've recorded? Is there one you're particularly proud of?
Which are better? Swedish Fish or Sour Patch Kids. Second possible question, is there a local equivalent of either of those candies?
This one's for Jay but would like to hear V1 and OOC's thoughts if you think they'd be able to chime in. There's been a lot of great horror movies that've come out recently. What would be some of your hidden gems (one's people might not have seen that you'd recommend) from the last 5 years? I watched You Are Not My Mother a few months back which inspired this question. Always enjoyed your mini reviews of horror movies and your rundown of Horrorthon so thought it'd be interesting to hear if you've any recommendations!
Couple of questions while stuffing a breakfast roll... 1. Now that you guys have covered late WCW arcs - what do YOU guys think is the reason WCW failed? Did Jimmy Helwig light the touchpaper for the eventual demise? 2. Imagine you are Bill Watts being brought into modern day wrestling company - what old school rules or tropes would you bring back in? Would you tell Ricochet to stop jumping off the top rope? Tell him he needs a proper gimmick? Make him land on hard floors again? Keep up the sterling effort and if YT sucks theres always Vimeo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two things I've always wanted to know more about: The situation with Neo (relationship before, what happened, where is he now) and the bouncy wrestling thing. Is it what I imagine it to be with you guys just running your own wrestling promotion and doing wrestling moves in a bouncy castle? I feel like both these topics could warrant full on retrospectives : D
Given how much OSW has grown in popularity over the last few years how is it that the show still doesn't have a Wikipedia page when stuff like ScrewAttack and Channel Awesome do?
Are / were you guys fans of The Nostalgia Critic before the Not So Awesome / #changethechannel scandal happened?
This question is to the one and only Mr. OOC. This is a two parted question. It has been rumored that because Neo ran away with V1's hard-drive, you are the only person who has possessions of the once great WBW tappings. My question is will you ever allow the release of the tapes to have a proper OSW review on what has to be the greatest wrestling ever recorded? Since I expect a solid "Maybe" answer from OOC, what can us as part of the OSW Universe do to help speed up the release of this precious piece of wrestling history?
I like your occasional quotes from tv shows like bottom, father ted and red dwarf. If you had to chose your favourite comedy between these 3 which one is it and why
Do you think the ghost of Dirk Richter haunts the bordello where his bullet-riddled body was found?
After the finger poke of doom I all but gave up on WCW. Was there ever a moment when you've had enough of a wrestler, group, or brand? Conversely, is there a wrestling personality you've thought of negatively but have come to very much like and appreciate in later years? And, no, face turns do not count. Cheers!
Greetings lads! Here’s 2 questions…one from me and one from my buddy who is also a huge fan of the show. 1. What are your guys’ Top 10 Favourite Wrestling Matches Ever? (cue OOC’s smark voice). 2. Which story arc would be to “bollix” to cover? (Some ideas that come to mind for me are New Gen 95 or HHH Reign of Terror). Many thanks from Edmonton Alberta Canada!
Are y'all ever recognized by fans in the real world, as in at the store or a restaurant? Are there any interesting encounters you'd share with us?
With the NWO B Team getting so much air time during the Warrior arc I started thinking. What is the most "boy stable" stable to ever exist? Like which stable has had the most boys? JOB Squad? Truth Commission? Dungeon of Doom? Jericho Appreciation Society? Thanks for everything fellas can't wait for the next arc! - Scott
Jay, Did you have to set up some kind of company (on paper) for tax reasons? Is there an OSW inc? Is Steve your intern? Just Curious how that works.
Is there one video you wish you could remake from the ground up?
Hulkamania era to when OSW started is basically the same time span as classic era Simpsons to now. Is it time for a spin-off series? Old Simpsons Watching Review
Any updated boy stables?
If you could bring back or make a new championship what could it be. Also you guys are amazing love the next gen arc.
What films have you each seen in the last year that you'd like to OSW review?
What is the biggest pittance you guys have felt from wrestling?
Can we get more of when ooc politicked on the fantasy booking Jay was doing love you guys
If you were to review a PPV (already reviewed or a new one) With a guest wrestler reviewing with y’all, which wrestler and which PPV?
How come I can't get no Tang 'round here?
What does OOC *really* stand for?
Q. Given that OSW in a previous life was a TNA fan site on Bebo, when did each of you stop watching Impact regularly? And can you see going back to it one day? (For context, Impact is the only wrestling I watch these days as 2hours of content a week is perfect for me and I couldn’t keep up with everything WWE or AEW put out)
Heard OOCs a Spurs fan love to hear his opinion on the club since Poch was sacked been a crazy few years and how far does he think Conte can take them
Outside of watching and reviewing them for the podcast, do you go ever go back and watch older wrestling PPVs and TV episodes in your free time? If so, what are your favourite eras to revisit and which companies do you watch (WWF/E,WCW,ECW,TNA) ?
What's your favorite "Treehouse of Horror" episode and what's your least favorite?
What movie would get a reaction like the happening from you all? By the way Mr OOC was correct as always. OLD would be my suggestion
Mr OOC, without knowing precisley what the danger is, would you say it’s time for your viewers to crack each others heads open and feast on the goo inside?
Do you remember on Sky One Saturday morning Smackdown that whenever there was a chairshot it would cut to a fat guy in a white Triple H wifebeater holding up a sign ? What a time to be alive
What would y'all consider the biggest missed opportunity of the New Generation era in WWF?
Hey brahs long time fan of the show got me out of really dark days and wanted to thank ya as for my question how do you brahs feel about Martin Scorsese calling marvel not cinema liking them to theme park rides
Who would rather be permanent 4th member Nail or maffew, ps any chance you do NWO in WWF as an arc
Are you friends with people in the industrie besides Becky Lynch?
Quite the update. Thank you. When will OSW Review have its own Fed? Will you review any Joshi promotion?
Do you have any anti-boys. Wrestlers that everyone likes but you can’t stand. For me they would be Jericho, ZSJ, Matt Riddle, Dean Ambrose (not Moxley), and Randy Orton
What are the best and worst crowd chants in your opinions?
ha ha! i already know what OOC will say
I'm really looking forward to the Resi Village deep dive. My question for the watchalong is ' Does the OSW Candle smell like Rhonda' s jocks, like Paltrow's fanny candle? '
Other than WrestleMania in Orlando, have you lads attended any WWF/E shows (either house or PPV) in person? I know you guys attended some TNA house shows and OOC has spoken of a '94 WWF house show with Virgil. Thoughts on the shows and experience?...
What finishing move from a wrestler would you like to see added to Mortal Kombat and which MK character would use it? I think Baraka would do a serious Clothesline from Hell.
If you were given control of the Simpsons going forward what direction would you steer it?
If you had a boy stable of only characters from The Simpsons, who makes your stable?
What's your biggest disappointment is Wrestling? Wrestler that looked promising but ended up flopping, interesting plotlines that went nowhere, PPV cards that looked awesome but failed to deliver, etc. Alternatively, biggest pleasant surprises? Same as above, but reversed. Best of love to you fine lads from Sweden in general.
Mr. OOC, as an undisputed master of technical wrestling, you're the perfect person to ask: How exactly do you kick someone's leg out of their leg? What's the secret?
Do you think an all Irish faction could be a success in the WWE? What would you call them and who would be in it? I think Balor, Becky, Sheamo, and Jordan Devlin could work with Funlay as the mastermind. Personally, I'd call them the 'Ra or the Divvy Knackers.
Hey lads. If you had a chance to go back and do one episode again, what episode and why?
With Booker T recently saying Adam Cole is too skinny, do any of you think a wrestler should have some beef on them (by default) in order to be successful?
We already know that Jay HATES the Offspring (self esteem). What other songs/bands do you guys hate? What are your favourite bands? BTW there’s only two good kinds of music, heavy and metal.
Have you ever thought of doing a special look at older old school wrestling? Like an episode where you look at matches from boys like Gorgeous George or Ricky Starr. I was a 90’s kid but wrestling from the 50’s is surprisingly entertaining.
I know you lads swore off iMPACT after that ... disappointing Bound for Glory that you watched. But have any of you gone back to revisit it? It's improved tenfold, especially with Moose and Josh Alexander as the top champion. (Josh is easily the best kept secret in wrestling)
Excluding every Wrestlemania, which live event/ppv would each of you loved to have attended in person? *Can be any promotion*
Are there any career/story modes from any past or current WWE games that you love? And any awful campaign modes that made you quit mid-way finally realizing they were bullocks and a waste of time? As a child I always had the patience for these games, but now as a slightly grown up man-child, playing through the 2k18 or 2k19 series, I just cannot see the reward playing through these for hours.
Jay: Before you were filming these episodes in glorious grapple vision and encoding them with blast processing, aka making the amazing content you make today, did you have any background in editing video beforehand? Or did you learn as you went?
Who are some of your favourite YouTubers, both Wrestling and Non Wrestling.
What are your opinions on AEW's 2022 so far? What have you enjoyed and/or haven't enjoyed?
Who are your boys outside of wrestling? For example, like all wrestling boys, these are individuals that aren’t the best in their field, haven’t quite reached full potential and have a certain cult status and obvs haven’t been world champion (don’t know why I’m telling you what a boy is?!). Mine are Emmanuel Eboue, Barry from east Enders, Steven segal and John bunnel from americas wildest police chases.
You've mentioned in one of your videos that V1 is challenging OOC in playing FIFA and showed footage of someone playing with Bayern Munich (cunts! :-D ). So what are your favorite football teams?
What’s your cut-off point watching past wrestling, as in what’s the earliest era you can watch before it’s too old and boring?
Would you guys ever review TV shows such as the wire and the sopranos like how jay and V1 review movies?
If you could have a match against any wrestler who would it be and in what kind of match?
Also, minor question, but HOW was Greg The Gas Tank that young during HoW?
Who would win in a fight between OOC and V1
Do you think with all of the recent allegations that Vince will finally be outsted from WWE or is he going to die at his post?
Are there any story arcs you've started to develop and then had to drop because the story in question wasn't strong enough, you didn't think it would be of sufficient interest, etc? Thanks for all the entertainment, guys - the last couple of years in particular, you've been the gift that keeps on giving.
I’d love to know what each of yours favourite match stipulation is. So many reviews and so many unique/differing match types, you all must have something your minds keep coming back to and placing different wrestlers in from different generations to wonder how well/bollocks it would look like. Love your work, thank you for the craic!
For all 3 lads: Which is your favourite series of Red Dwarf and why? Follow up - did you prefer aesthetic of series' 1-2 over series 3 onwards?
just love the Ultimate Boy Picture- what a bewdeeee!
Do any of the three of you watch much stand up comedy? And if so, who are your favourite stand up comedians?
I don’t have a question but I’ve voted in every Golden Nogger and I have to say that this year was by far the hardest time I’ve had voting. I just sat there and laughed for like an hour. A testament to the quality of show still growing over the years. Cheers to the Worldwide Leader in Bollocks Entertainment!
Got one for all three of you. You previously did a :annoying Salem voice: Top Ten Best Stage Entrances. :Normal voice: What are each of you three's favorite WWE PPV theme song?... Not counting Limp Bizkit's "My Way" for WMX7, too easy of a choice. My four fave's are "Deadly Game" from Survivor Series '98, AC/DC's Highway To Hell" for Summerslam '98, Limp Bizkit's "Build A Bridge" for Survivor Series 2003 and Evanescent's "Bring Me To Life" for No Way Out 2003. Also, please don't count anything from Kid Rock or Trapt ("Headstrong" was the theme for one of the "Bad Blood"'s) cause both KR and the Trapt singer are real cunty assholes.
Which wrestler that you shat on are you most fearful of meeting in person if they knew that you shat on them (verbally of course)?
I think you've explained 99.9% of OSW in-jokes over various Q&As, but here's the one I don't think has been covered: what is the origin of OOC saying "Jerry Lynn!" in that specific way he does?
What are your favourite and least favourite game controllers, and what are your favourite and least favourite game genre's? Thanks for the years of entertainment! From DarkTone
What wrestler have you changed your opinion on the most since starting the show (other than Lex)? What is one thing you’d love to review that the other two will hate?
What are all three of yours favourite video games of all time?
Hey Brahs! Do you have any ‘anti boys’? As in wrestlers who actively make you change the channel, even if others like them?
Which PPV would you each LEAST like to cover in an episode ?
Question for watchalong: Sneaky Jay slipped in an update into the Southland Tales episode when it arrived on YouTube giving OOC's opinion upon watching it. Just wondered after rewatching the Watchmen episode recently where you guys talk about it should have been a HBO series, did any of you watch Damon Lindelof's sequel series and what your take on it was?
