JayKHunter's OSW Review 99 - AEW Revolution 2021

I just watched Paige watching you watching her and I could not blink. I can only imagine how weird that is. I'm not sure that she liked or subscribed there.

I watched ROH Best In The World 2018 2 days ago. There's a match between Jay Lethal and Kushida. At one stage, Lethal is selling on 1 leg and holding onto the top rope for balance and Kushida steps in behind him and kicks him hard in the hamstring to which commentator Colt Cabana says "Kushida just kicked his leg into his leg, Owen Hart style" which I loved hearing. That would have flown way over my head if I'd been watching it in 2018.

I'm going to end up watching the Paige thing again in a few days, it's up there for weirdest wrestling-related thing I've ever seen and I've seen that episode of Impact that took place entirely on the Hardy compound!

I never watched the NXT that replaced ECW with the mentors and students (meaning I got a good giggle when you showed D Bryan and EC3 had a bunch of learned answers worked out to win some competition) but for some reason, I watched NXT in it's current form from day 1 and not 2 years after the event like all the wrestling I watch now. I was up to date with it in the beginning, I loved William Regal on commentary "If I wanted to be interrupted, I'd have stayed at home with the wife" was a common line. Regal would do a great job putting over Tyler Breeze or Aidan English, he's a really good commentator. They used to bring in JR for the shows main events and he couldn't have sounded more bored, uninterested, I'm a big Regal fan, not a huge JR fan. (90's JR yes, post 90's JR, no)
I'm pretty sure after the 1st NXT I thought The Ascension were going to be the next big thing, there was no Viktor (it was Bram) but the strobe lights and the Game Of Thrones look to them had me thinking they would be huge stars. Paige and Emma and Summer Rae were all parts of the show I liked. The 1st time I saw Paige I thought she looks amazing, and then they mentioned her age and I felt a tiny bit guilty, and then I thought "I know how HHH feels right now" I'm not his age but I'm not far off it.
Then I saw Paige in Total Divas and I was like "Jesus, she's annoying" but everyone on that show is annoying, it's a bad show. The only person on that who ever got over with me was Tyson "I'm not a cat, I'm a world tag team champion" Kidd and how Nattie was worried he likes Cesaro more than her! A reality show about nothing but members of the Harts mostly featuring Teddy would be so funny and mad.

I don't think you saying stuff about her family or her public shaming is that bad, If OOC can tell Shawn Micheals to his face that he looks like he's seen better days, then there's no hypocrisy there.

If I had to guess or if I have any take away from Paige watching your review, it's that she doesn't get the OSW humour (she's too young for Alan Partridge and probably didn't see much tv growing up) and also that seeing her own career and how quickly it ended is probably a very sad and sensitive issue and whoever suggested watching the review to her maybe shouldn't have done that.

I have wondered, I mean I know tons of wrestlers watch Botchamania but I have wondered how many of them watch OSW Review, you probably have more feedback on that than I know of. But even then, how many of them secretly watch it?...

I by pure chance, being stuck in 2018 wrestling found a show yesterday RISE Of The Knockouts, an Impact FITE tv show, and I'm halfway through it but early in the show there is an Impact title match between Su Yung defending the Impact title vs Saraya Knight! I've no idea why it's on so early in the card but it's not good, in fact it's one of the worst stupidest nonsense indy garbage matches I've ever seen! It's really bad. I've not seen the corresponding Botchamania yet but it could well be in there, it's horrible stuff.

Fighting With My Family is probably the kindest most positive review of a film I've ever seen you guys do even if Fatal Deviation is by far my favourite OSW movie review! You never should be embarrassed for telling the truth, I hope nothing changes, keep going on like you have been going on and I'll keep watching, laughing, trying to get my friends watching and being delighted every time I see a new review pop up!

Sorry for the double post but Jay. After AEW double or nothing (don’t worry no spoilers) how are you feeling now that Neo is a big star. I feel it was just a matter of time before light streaking made it worldwide.

Wonder what the next arc is? I'd like see some of the Ruthless Aggression era. That probably counts as old school now.

Think the title of the thread needs updating :pac:

Currently working my way through episodes 91 to 94. Very enjoyable as always.

Love looking back at Backlunds character work. Say what you will about his attire, trunks and arse, they guys heel turn was masterful.

But Survivor Series 94 was a steaming pile made entertaining by your relatable observations. Thanks

It would be good if they had a second youtube channel for clips. Many times I have wanted to share a particular 5min segment with friends. Something similar to Rogan's second channel for sharing short clips would be handy.

Oh yes...

JayHunter asks on social media when/how did you start watching OSW Review.

Sure all us here in the boards.ie parish are day one Noggers. TBH they’ve gone to the dogs since they sold out to the Yanks and the Brits. I much prefer their early stuff #neo4eva

Some achievement Jay. Can of Coke to you and the boys. Can’t even count the amount of hours joy the show has given me over the decade. Genuinely my favourite thing on the net.
