I was interviewed for Times of Israel!
Helloooo!
It's finally out! You can read the article here: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/jay-hunter-has-no-time-for-stereotypes/
Really cool; author Jamie Bichelman knows his stuff and it was fascinating hearing about Rasslin' Rabbi Rafael Halperin and the similarities and relationship of ireland and Israel. Def the toughest questions I've been asked. Have a read of the As!
Love, Jay 💚
p.s. In case ya missed it, OSW review Kung Fu Hustle released last night! (54mins)

Saying this with much love for OSW and obvious hindsight within the current world and the much wider awareness of the crimes of Isreal but it is inargueable that Isreal is and has been committing a genocide for many years and generations. Respect to Jay but I do think this post should at least be removed for the best and to not give the wrong perception. By having a partial look at the times of isreal website it is quite obvious how they lean now. As with Saudi FUCK EM As MJF said recently zionism means something different now, much love to my Jewish brothers. Up the OSW Free Palestine
So cool to see Jay and OSW recognized
Another great day in 🇮🇱 well done lads on that interview 👏🏼👏🏼
Good news, everyone!
Why has the OSW reddit paige been made private?
yo! This month there's been a gigantic protest because Reddit has forced all third party apps to die (by charging an extortionate 20-TIMES the price to access their API - no-one can afford it). Over 8,000 subreddits joined in! Some re-opened after 2 days, some a few days later, but over 2,500 are still protesting. Our small neck of the woods won't make an actual difference but hey, it makes a tiny difference. So it'll be closed in protest for the foreseeable future. if you're wondering why Reddit are doing this extremely greedy thing, it's to prop up their IPO (they're going public on the stock market next month). To quell the protest, with large subreddits, they threatened to remove the mods and replace them with more compliant ones. It's a freaking mess! hope that explains it :)
Just imagine: One day you record a litte video podcast in your room with your lads. And the next day a newspaper from a totally different part of the world is asking for an interview. As for all that anti Israel comments: I can understand if someone is opposed to their political actions. But again especially with Israel and all their neighbours there are multiple shades of gray (no pun intended).
As an American fan of pro-wrestling who isn't a massive asshole, it's not been easy to find charming, light-hearted coverage of this fixed sport I love so well. Perhaps that comes down to the fact that the sole voice on the national level for ~15 years was/is a jingoistic, misogynist sexpest who is directly courting the people that make me embarrassed to be an American, maybe it has to do with the fact that's not changing anytime soon (Trips is a BIG fan of Ron DeSantis, who is currently threatening to make all of America like the homophobic parasite state Florida), maybe it's that the very foundations and origins of pro-wrestling are rooted in bigotry and "othering" (a segment about Sputnik Monroe and his incredible mission to end segregated seating in Tennessee would be a WHOPPER. He wrestled in a time when the bookers would literally rather there be empty seating sections at a show they were losing money on than sell floor seats to African-Americans) and it attracts and enables a very specific type of fan and pundit to YouTube. Whatever the reason: it's hard to find exactly what OSW provides, and ever since you called out the FUCKING Harris twins, I went from being a casual watcher to a hardcore fan and member of NoggerU. And hell, part of that is having a laugh at how stupid it all is. We all still watch, but watching without knowing (or actively denying) the context and facts is what I can't stand.
The SS-tattoos being explained away as part of biker culture, like the iron cross, baffles me to no end
This is great. Congratulations.
OSW is going worldwide, starting with the “I” countries.
