I think iPhones go up to 480p but it's 240p is half the filesize I encode each one using PowerDirector, not converting external ones so it should look great! If only i weren't reviewing low-def from the 80s lol.

jaykhunter

Better late than never!

I've compiled a video paying homage to one of the greatest wrestling icons of all time. Featuring a FULL, rare match between Macho Man and Shawn Michaels!

OSW #4's reminded me of one of my movie pet peeves: when they get the match rules wrong. Usually someone getting pinned for a three count chest-down.

Which is how Zangief loses to Rainbow Mika in a Street Fighter comic (after she no-sells his suplex and takes him down with a low blow and chair shot)...

jaykhunter

Tell me more about Zangief jobbing!

Ridley

That's pretty much it. After Ken (naturally) kicks Zangief's ass, the Red Cyclone turns up at a Japanese arena looking for a match with the world's greatest wrestlers and basically gatecrashes while R. Mika's waiting for her opponent.

Mika thinks it's kayfaybe and a last minute change, tells him she'll put him over and asks if he's the face or heel since she was supposed to have a heel turn. Zangief has no idea what she's going on about, goes for a punch or grab, Mika comes off the ropes with a Flying Peach (butt bump) and knocks Zangief down.

He hits his German suplex while she's taunting. She pretends to be hurt then tells him it looked so real. He goes for the spinning lariet, she "Rainbow Low Blow"s him then the chair shot. 1, 2, 3. Zangief gets Mika's promised "world-famous Rainbow Ass-Spanking".

She's not bad considering Zangief's been shown giving grizzly bears the Spinning Piledriver.

Hygro

when i first saw mania 3 i'm sure they showed the backstory of each match, but the last time i watched it the version i saw didn't show the backstory of hercules and billy jack haynes. I don't know if my memory is correct but i do remember one of them being busted open by a chain. Anyways i've noticed that when you do your reviews there's always 2 versions of the show which people have seen, so it'd be cool if you yourself could review the one with the most footage as you usually seem to have the shorter versions..

jaykhunter

Wow, you've excellent memory! The WM3 review will be up Wednesday

Ha cheers man, I feel i talk too much since i host so i purposely leave the longer WWE Anthology version so they can tell me (and the audience lol) about the extra bits I'm partial to the Silvervision versions since i got a ton of them as Xmas presents! I must say it is annoying missing out on promos etc...

jaykhunter

Just FYI, the WrestleMania 3 review is coming tomorrow

jaykhunter

OSW Review finally reaches the pinnacle of the Hulkamania Era! Up to 93,000 fill the Pontiac Silverdome for WRESTLEMANIA 3! Savage/Steamboat! Hogan/Andre! Alice Cooper and THE PREDATOR stop by!

Ridley

Not the Bees!

Don't care for the 50% Savage/Steamboat hate because they didn't have the match this decade.

It's the only match from WM3 that I've seen, thanks to the Savage DVD (so two years ago?), and expected to dislike it because too much hype puts me off but I enjoyed it. The match holds up well.

Like the Cena image though I think it comes off as more optimistic than intended. Are you only going up to the end of the Hulkamania PPVs? Cause I'd rather you kept going. Think the only PPV of that era I've seen is King of the Ring '93.

jaykhunter

Great buzz surrounding the Killer Bees

Seems to be the way that we'd have two positive petes and two negative nancy's! Forgot to mention that Steamer/Savage changed how matches were laid out in the future; maybe it should get the "Goldeneye 64" award

Here's the less upbeat version of the Cena billboard



My intention was to move to another time period (Two of the likely candidates are mentioned in the WM3 podcast lol) when we finish up sometime during 1992; but sure that's a long way away yet! We'll cross that bridge when we get there Thanks for the support mate

Hygro

what the fook, just watched the WM3 review and there's a couple of bufoons who don't rate the Savage v Steamboat match!!! :mad:

The way they're thinking you can forget about any other match that you've just watched, cos there'll be a better one on next week.

I watched a lot of matches and the majoirty of them are just rehashes of other ones, the same spots, and mostly the same outcome. It's rare that you see a match nowadays that's completely fresh. I'm talking about a singles match with no gimmicks, sure you see matches that are innovative, but you're talking about ones that have a gimmick of some type attached. This one was an eyeopener for the industry and still inspires wrestlers to this day.

This match is the blueprint of wrestling.

jaykhunter

Myself & Neo looked at it in context (as you are) and other two looked at it in purely objective 2011 eyes. Your point is an extremely important one that i didn't hammer home - that match was the blueprint for future matches to come with regards to drama/workrate etc. It's one of the most influential matches in history!

OOC and V1 were just trying to stress the point that today's standards (objectively) are much higher and so consequently is less impressive now...which is a great thing, really. It's like saying "Mario 1 was crap because look at the gravity effect in Mario Galaxy!" Technically correct but missing the point!

Hygro

Just as long as people know I meant blueprint as in plans, not Matt Morgan!.

Has anyone ever bothered to dub Salem's EXPOSED! commentary over Billy Gunn's match?

That would be killer.




c/o Bogswallop

jaykhunter

LOL i gotta use those bee pictures whenever the next time the Bees are in action!!

Hygro

another great review ... I wondered when you'd get to that Savage "and the beat goes on" interview, what a classic

I finally found a video showing the amazing Killer Bee's finishing move "The Sting"!! :pac: (feature's a thin mick foley)

That's a WWF Classic alright.

He's hardcore, he's hardcore.

jaykhunter

Brilliant Hygro that's amazing! Love it.

jaykhunter

New episode up next week! Royal Rumble 1988

Ridley

I'm in the credits!



Even if it does look it says I'm Bogswallop.

From the clips it looked like the women's tag was the best match wrestling wise. Each time I hear the team as the Golden Girls, I keep mentally 'correcting' it as the Gilmore Girls. Which is a much worse show.

jaykhunter

LOL at the picture! Well the women'sis the best non-Rumble match on the card but there wasn't much competition! Lemme know what u thought when u finish the episode

I did finish, it's how I know I'm in the credits!

The bit about people who spell 'woo' as 'who' is a valid point.

Bounty Hunter

another good show guys and I actually gave you an unplanned plug on the podcast today but I gotta ask, maybe i missed it but what was that mad thing with Christian at the end?

jaykhunter

ha ha, nice! Ya the "Wrestling is Awesome" segment is just anything that features wrestlers outside of regular wrestling TV shows. This week was Christian in a low-budget Canadian horror film called "Dark Rising". A painful movie but had that awesome bit at the end

Hope u liked the opening bit to the women's match

Hygro

It's been almost a week, where's the next OSW review!!!!

jaykhunter

Ha, thanks The guys are away on summer holidays so the reviews are put on ice for the moment. I'll keep ye updated but honestly the next one will likely be in September. I'll post another episode in August to tide you over

edit : OK wow, it has been a very long time! well, better late than never!

jaykhunter

We're back! And with 80 minutes of goodness....with a special visit from SUPER SHREDDER himself, Kevin Nash!

WrestleMania IV sees 14 men compete in a one-night tournament for the WWF Championship! Also on the card is a battle royal and the PPV debut of the Ultimate Warrior! Hulk Hogan cuts an absolutely stellar promo!

just saw this for the first time. Watched the Wrestleania 1 video. Really good. Fair play.
It would work as an audio only podcast too I think. Any chance you might publish an audio only version in future also?
You're like the Off The Ball sports show on Newstalk, only for wrestling. Off The Ropes you should call the podcast!

jaykhunter

Thanks mate! Successive episodes have a bit more energy and audio clips when Steve #2 (V1) came on board. Ya I've considered an audio podcast alongside it, don't have a good host for it (my host stopped supporting mp3s) . But if ye guys come across a good free podcast host please lemme know

Diabhal Beag

Watched the Mania 4 one there. Easily the best wrestling-related podcast I've ever watched/heard. Loved the bit with the Matilda discussion. As somebody who hates watching old stuff this is brilliant as I'm learning while the piss is being majorly taken.

Kudos to all!
