Thanks mate. I'm sure we'll hit the Attitude Era at some point. My main reason for not doing it (besides it being constantly farmed on WWE DVDs etc) is that I know it so well, so there's nothing fresh for me to find out (unlike Hulkamania, WCW, ECW).

It's weird reviewing a PPV with nothing worthwhile in-ring (so most of the time is spent talking about the crazy storylines & character backstories). AE is like getting drunk when you're a teenager and remembering a night to be so amazing, and then seeing video footage and facepalming!

I'd suggest WCW's Souled Out 2000 for review. It was one of their worst and showed what a sorry state the company was in. (the night after Benoit, Eddie, Saturn and Malenko jumped to WWF)

I haven't watched this review yet but I think it'd be bad if you guys were any good at any impressions! The Andy Gray and Ian Paisley and Vince impersonations crack me up.
I think Jay does a decent Tony Chimmell and that works but Dunphy?
Fock, although I guess that lad off Apres Match has done well on Dunphy impressions even though he's not that good or funny.

jaykhunter

I wonder if anyone outside Ireland got V1's Eamon Dunphy impression

Further proof we don't cater to non-Irish! "Costa Rica - #1 on the world happiness index"

Capital Carnage was my first WWE pay-per-view though I fell into the habit of just counting from Summerslam 99, which would by my fourth, as that was when I got regular access to WWE.

Couldn't remember anything from it for years except the fatal four way. Realising how frivolous they UK PPVs were would come later but I sure as heck preferred what I saw over WCW's output.

I'm in work at 7am. Just found this. 5 hours sleep it is so.

Mania IX already? Wow you must watch 'em every day That episode was a blow-out, just wouldn't get done as I incorporated the main stuff Series 92 and Rumble 93 into it. Ha, Dib Dab! I'm certain V1 used it in another episode. That's really cool to hear about the missus. Shocked casual fans could listen to us for 2 hours!

Ahe has no choice haha, been watching 1 on the journey to and from work per day and if theres nothing on TV ive been watching them here and there on the tv.

He did use Dib Dab to describe Kona Crush Brah. Though I find it worked for Hogan better (don't tell Stevo shhhhh)

Im up to the WM9 episode, its been great so far.

Its easy to see the difference in quality from Ep1 til the WM9 episode, the production is better and you guys seem a lot more comfortable as the episodes progressed.

Myself and the misses have been watching and shes the most casual of casual fans, yet she loves your observations (esp what bar?, she feels Hogan was more of a Dib Dab herself)

Wont skip ahead to future episodes as Im afraid ill miss some in jokes along the way. But cant wait to watch more.

As I said on Twitter I am glad NXT Creative and Becky moved faster than the Summer OSW Review production schedule!

There's a perfectly good "Crapital Carnage" waiting! Hope you enjoyed the ep

What was worse though, that or (British) No Mercy 1999?

More talking about watching it in real time. But yeah No Mercy 1999 was crap too. But Austin-Undertaker with all the roster running out was a fun main event.

I remember Powerslam reviewing Capital Carnage with the headline Capital Crap. Kind of like Spinal Tap's Shark Sandwich being referred to **** Sandwich in a review.

Awful and dull PPV. Remember watching the show over in my friends house with seemingly every lad from his estate in his living. The cheer Jackie's exposed boobs got was amazing.

Capital Carnage '98 - OSW Review #40

We're back with a special BRUCIE BONUS episode! Our first foray into the Attitude Era!
Ultra-brah Paul Stevens got an OSW Review tattoo so we let him choose our next review.
Just a reminder, this PPV includes Jackie's top being ripped off, so this episode is NSFW!

Thank you mate, that's a really lovely thing to say Ya the show's a lot of fun to record. Hope you can stick past the "Niall Era" of shows as things really come together from 89 onwards!

Well I started months ago with WCW Thunder review and watched ONS and WM6 and then started from WM1.

The quality has improved so much from the first episode and its clear that in the first episode you all were just finding your feet, but the foundations were there in WM1 Review and it has evolved into a "must see" watch for me every morning on the way to work.

Ive also on the Alan Partridge signage, Id like to suggest "Revolution not Evoultion : because I evolve, but I don't... revolve"

Its wrestling based and Partridge based....(....is this thing on???...)

"The Niall Era"

Dark days, truly the Duke Droese of Wrestling Podcasts... Ha

Well started watching WM6 , Then went and started from episode 1 in order.

Still cant believe I know V1, makes watching it even better. I love the observations and the facts, as well as re watching PPVs that got me hooked on Wrestling in the first place. (Summerslam 89 being my first real memory of wrestling).

Its been great re watching them with my fiancé who also grew up watching these PPVs, and getting her take on things.

OSW Review is a great idea and one I think every fan would love to do. I love listening to you guys and after meeting you Jay at the Rumble this year in the Wooler and having been on the odd session with V1 many moons ago, I can honestly say you guys are top lads.

Going to continue watching and I love your work. Also after watching OSW Review so much over the last week, I can honestly say im envious of you 3 guys, Id say you all have great fun doing it, as I do watching.

Have you guys ever consider doing a review of Beyond The Mat film?

I've considered it but I don't think we would; it'd be quite a sombre review and a bit of a downer - It's an excellent film but a very sad one, we generally try find things that are more upbeat and positive. If we're ever doing the 99 Rumble we'll surely feature it. AEPodcast did a feature commentary for it trying to raise funds for a new mic if interested

2. How did The wheel of Fortune theme get on to WM6? I remember Hardcore Hollys theme was on and for Sky years ago too.

It's most likely from the wonderful world of production/library/stock music.

Which is why, for example, if you type "Chase Manhattan" at https://www.extrememusic.com/ you'll get the Hardy Boyz's old theme music which was also popping up in adverts around that time.

Or "Loaded" (in the Heavy Metal album), which will give the familiar Hardy Boyz/Jeff Hardy theme which was also poppping up in adverts around that time.

Or the not very Swiss "Engerland" instrumental, which will give you Cesaro's first theme that's also the music from How the States Got Their Shapes.

And for the OSW connection, Alan Hawkshaw composed a lot of production music for shows and did the Countdown theme. No idea if that specific one was production music but if so, it'll be called "Inappropriate For Quiz Shows" or something.

"Smell my cheese" Is my fav Alan Partridge quote!

I enjoyed the Cena thing but he frustrates me so much. I get that he's probably the easiest "Top guy" Vince has probably had to work with and he's a workhorse and all that other good stuff, but he's on top a long time and wrestling is worse off in that time and he gets boo'd so much...

The American podcast was interesting. Fair play to the 2 American fellas for getting Battleground predictions so right before the event. I think having the 2 Steve's on there would be funny too. It was a cool show.
I have actually explained the Christmas Geansaí to an American friend off the back of hearing it.
I'm pretty sure I took them off every year the second I got home from Christmas Mass. I couldn't last a day with those St. Bernard beauties!

I was excited when Sheamus came into WWE for the same reasons! "Finally we have an Irish guy!" and I loved his early matches with Goldust too and I generally like him. That said, if someone told me they can't stand him, I'd totally understand that too! His promos sound so learned that when he talks it sounds recited and wrong.

I like the idea OSW Review doing a classic SNME. Back in the 80's that was the show, because every other show was Superstars squashing jobbers for an hour, every week. Maybe it is terrible looking back, I remember reading a year or 2 that very few titles ever changed hands on it and I heard once they accidently went live to Hogan when he thought he was off-air and going through his match with another wrestler!

I can understand not wanting to be an 80's guy too. Watching old sports can be strange. What seemed awesome then can look shabby now. I actually was surprised how much I liked old World Of Sport British Wrestling when I saw it again a while back, but even 80's football can look quite crappy now when goalkeepers could pick up back-passes constantly and curly mullets and big Rick Rude moustaches were cool!

I do think 80's commentary was so much better than it is now. I can't stand Michael Cole, but it still sucked when anti-bullying-be-a-star John Cena had a match with him and used a fire-extinguisher on him!

Did Brodus Clay get released for sitting beside Triple H in that Scooby Doo movie?

beakerjoe

Also in relation to the WM6 review, ....

1. I love the stereotypical chopsticks theme that the Oriental Express had. Also I agree, Fuji was a poor business man.

2. How did The wheel of Fortune theme get on to WM6? I remember Hardcore Hollys theme was on and for Sky years ago too.

3. I forgot how bonkers the Warrior was and coked up Hogan was almost just as hilarious.

4. Piper going all Harvey Dent ???? WTF?

5. Maybe its just me but the clean shaven Jesse Ventura remind me of Randy Orton in the face a bit. Hope his Adult tape never surfaces.

6. I forgot how bad Earthquakes attire was... jesus that brown number was bad

Cant wait to catch up on more episodes.

The next super-secret episode (not ECW!) will be out next week anyway. You'll never guess what it is.

Please say its the pilot episode of Roddy Piper and Jessie Ventura's buddy cop vehicle "Tag-Team"
