It's a right of passage for those who grew up loving Hogan to one day realize they should have been rooting for Macho Man.

Savage's promo at the start of this video is almost a "face" promo. He gave clear reasons why he disliked Hogan, gave proof and didn't exaggerate. He even emphasized how he was standing up for his girl.

In hindsight that promo by Savage was a face promo. It's just that nobody outside of the wrestling business knew it at the time.

That Savage opening is so good that it honestly makes Hogan like the heel. Savage didn’t lie or exaggerate once in the whole promo

That Savage promo. My god. He was damn near on the verge of tears. "You love me like a brother? Well, I hate you. I hate you Hulk Hogan!" It was great. Told you every you need to know. This was about more than titles. It was a personal matter. So fucking good.

The genesis of “Quick Rub and Squeezie Squeezie”, “Rubbish Ronnie Garbage”, and “Aloha Arn”?! Gem of an episode boys

Macho man had one of the best promos EVER!!! You can literally feel the heat.

The Rockers have their initials written on their tops, like they're 5 year olds and their mothers have written on their gym kit so no-one can steal it or accidentally pick up the wrong one. Bless them!!!

That Savage promo might be the best I've ever heard.

"You're not a believer in the demandments, Mother!" Macho should've just exited the ring until Hulk's Special meter ran out.

That Savage promo might be the best in wrestling history. RIP Macho!

Grandstandin and hot doggin so true lol

Macho was borderline shooting in that opening promo

Macho's promo...a masterpiece. Loving each and every review you guys do, I've been watching wrestling for 32 years, and I'm gaining a greater appreciation for people, moves and angles I thought I already knew well. Now I'm watching the sell as much as the move itself, thanks to OSW.

Pretty much everything Macho says in the beginning is true. Hogan really was more heelish than Savage in this circumstance.

Damn Macho looked legit hurt in the promo

It's 2020 on covid-19 quarantine.... Thanking the God's for these three hot dogging and grandstanding irish lads making these strange surreal day's feel a little normal and giving me a good laugh... Stay safe guys...

@ 27:49..."quick rub and a squeezy squeezy ....and Raymond loved it

17:49 if I ever win the lottery and become a millionaire, I would do exactly what Ted Dibease does here: go into an expensive high street jewelry store wearing a cape and bellow out "I'm here"

My GOD I friggin' miss REAL promos. Savage was an ace.

hot doggin' grandstandin'

Today is the 30th Anniversary of Wrestlemania V. Spending that day watching this as opposed to the actual Wrestlemania V. Time well spent.

I get the sense that the jeweler that presented the million dollar by to Dibiasie was very used to maniacal cackling.

Ted Dibiase walking into that jeweler looking like Dracula etc.

the promo at the beginning is my favourite of all time.

The DiBiase skit w the million dollar belt and that laugh was epic! What a character

Macho almost bursts into tears at the very end of his opening promo

The legend and intensity the man didn't get as much recognition as he deserved especially in wcw. knew how to sell it on the mic. Rip macho

17:53 I can only imagine shopping for jewelry and all of a sudden this big, loud guy dressed like Bela Lugosi comes in ranting about professional wrestling and laughing like a maniac. This is why pro wrestling is more awesome than real life.

He’s wearing a vampire cape 😂. If I only realized that when I was 9 yearly old......

Macho Man was the very best. Face, Heel, always the cream of the crop....the very best.

That Million Dollar boat promo had me in stitches! Ted's reaction is so OTT but gold! Who looked like Dracula in that cape!

3.00 Savage still thinking his shades are there, but saves it beautifully

The birth of 'Aloha Arn'!!

Did anyone else hear Hogan, at 59:55, when he is saying "WWF" they have dubbed over it with him saying "WWE" ?!

So during his pre match promo the Red Rooster said "I'm going to teach you something that you never taught me, and that's how to lose." Did he just imply that he learned to lose all by himself???

WWE Network mass-blocked 27 of our videos, we must rebuild! Re-uploading these whilst editing Heatwave 98, which'll be coming later on this month! Daily awesomeness/updates at OSWreview.com

My favorite wrestler, THE MACHO MAN!! This is when i discovered wrestling as an immigrant kid coming to canada, i was like wow, i never knew this stuff existed

Love the way Ted bursts into the shop in his Dracula like cape. Classic. 17:51

The crowd is dead because many in attendance weren't fans. They got comps from the Trump casino.

Hercules came to sign autographs at my local mall when I was a kid!

15:11 Holy moly that clothesline from Akeem on Shawn! They're talking about killing the Bossman but Shawn hits his head so hard and fast on the mat it's a wonder he survived let alone was able to wrestle on..

Reb Brown It's well documented that Randy was very protective of Elizabeth at that time as Liz was one of the very few females around the locker room then. It's also widely known that as Randy and Warrior were roading together as the Maniacs tagteam, Hogan and his then wife meddled in their already fractured marriage and then that ultimately broke down. Hogan was the biggest manipulator going. He absolutely hated others getting over and potentally stealing "his" spot. It's one of the reasons why he left WWF in '93 as he couldn't stand Bret being the face of the "New Generation". It's why he screwed Bret out of the belt at Mania IX, then refused to drop it to him at KOTR instead dropping it to Yokozuna. His meddling was in full force when he was given creative control at WCW and we all know how THAT ended up.

Macho man was so good. I wish Vince let him put Bret Hart over when Hogan wouldn’t do it.

Even though this was 8 years ago and my second rewatch, a little bit of random/useless info...referee Timmy White, from those awful suicide segments, was a friend of my father's growing up in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Whenever there was a live event or pay per view in the area he always hooked us up with tickets and even let us (underage ones) into the Friendly Tap to meet some of the wrestlers. My dad said sometimes back in the early 80s he'd have beers with some of them (Greg the Hammer can drink like a fish he said) and even once got us backstage in the early attitude era to meet some of the guys, although briefly, the nicest guy of the lot was actually Billy Gunn. He stayed and talked to 15 year old me and a buddy of mine for like 20 minutes. Just a good dude, and I've always been a fan since that interaction. Timmy White was always the nicest guy, sucks he hurt his shoulder in a match and had to retire early

When Hogan formed the NWO by dropping the leg on Savage this is what I remembered. I always thought Savage was the better character and performer, Hogan was just built better.

Wrestlemania 4 - Dibiase pinned Wrestlemania 5 - Dibiase counted out Wrestlemania 6 - Dibiase wins by count out Wrestlemania 7 - Disqualified Wrestlemania 8 - Disqualified A waste of an incredible talent

I love going back to the OSW archives and watching the reviews that hooked me. Something I noticed today in this episode that’s really cool… I love American Dad, and the Hulk episode is one of my favorites. When the cartoon ends, Hogan wanders off while his Real American theme plays. But then, abruptly, the song ends end credits theme plays. I never liked that. The sneaky lads at OSW, however, did it right. When the cartoon clip ends, they continued to play the Real American theme over the podcast credits. Little touches like that make OSW reviews so special . 💯

This was one of the best angles in WWF history. Thanks for posting another great video. Keep up the great work!

Million Dollar Man has best evil laugh in the business ever, no contest. But HEY, y'know what would be awesome??! A TOP TEN GREATEST EVIL LAUGHS IN WRESTLING.

LOVE the point about Savage as champion coming out last... WWE disrespected Savage so much - he was my favorite ever... Hogan kicks out of the ELBOW DROP at 1 and throws Savage in the air? Savage takes a LEG DROP and Hogan wins off a LAZY DISRESPECTFUL cover... SMH Savage as usual sold this match and was a true professional. #RIP #RIPMyBrotherJustin (No one left to watch wrestling with here with me bro! Love and miss you always!)

The amount of enjoyment you have given during these times of covid is literally the only thing I had to look forward to everyday. I have watched the entire catalog probably 5 or 6 times. Never gets old period. I dont know what I would have done. My mother, grandmother, grandfather, my mother's sister and her youngest brother, my uncle Joe all died from covid. I have no one left, I live completely alone in a huge estate my grandparents bought and paid for before I was ever born. Too many bedrooms I can sleep in a different room every night for a week. It's just myself and my cat Patrick. There has been dark times, I contemplated killing my self and too many times, quick rub and a squeeze squeeze, ot hot dogging and grand standing has popped in my mind only to start laughing and finding myself watching another episode of osw. There's no amount of praise I can ever say that would re pay all three of you. I might not be here. Guys, all three of you, youtube subs, ad revenue doesn't matter. All three of you are saving people's lives by bringing just a little bit of light and laughter to people's lives where the dark of the covid nightmare have made so many give up.

Warrior did so many bear hugs because he would get too blown up from running to the ring, shaking the ropes and basically using up all his energy before the match so by the time it starts he is already winded. At least that is what I heard Hogan and Scott Hall say in other videos. I totally believe that too.

The 105:40 mark. The term monsoon used was "a Uecker seat", which is a term used for an obstructed seat at the old county stadium in Milwaukee. Because the Uecker seats were obstructed by the building architecture, the only way to properly follow the game would be to listen to hall of fame radio broadcaster Bob Uecker, the Uecker seats cost a mere dollar to purchase.

Savage's promo at the start is so fuckin' awesome.

I was at Wrestlemania V in Atlantic City. This was so much more fun to watch than being there. You guys had me peeing my pants. Great job

Showing that elbow drop to a CM Punk fan should make them immediately weep. That was GORGEOUS.

9:46 Birth of Dammit D'lo! Full explanation: oswreview.com/dictionary/#dammit-dlo

I can't believe how comically long hogan posed after the match. It was insane!

Kayfabe reason Goldberg came out with security.. they were not for his protection.. they were for everyone elses protection.

Jesus Christ... Randy Savage was such a great promo guy. That beginning segment was *SO* believable. He didn't look at the camera until he said "I hate you, Hulk Hogan!!!" Chills...

1:04:40 "How stupid is this guy?" referring to Andre is probably the funniest thing said in any of your reviews. I laugh every single time I hear it!

All three of you deserve the highest amount of admiration and praise

I’m finally watching all the OSW reviews in order. It’s amazing how the OSW boys found their stride so early on and have only improved from then on.

Jesus Christ that opening promo is legendary. I was 9. Wanted Macho Man to win more than anything in the world and I was crushed. I digress. Just settling in with some coffee and buds to check this out, Merry Christmas boys!

‘Weeeyyyyyy, I’m Black’ might be the best line in any episode.

I love you guys! Always cheering me up after a long day, thank you for all your hard work Jay, and both Steves too!

I still own WrestleMania V on VHS and hot damn, that opening promo by Savage is one of many reasons why he's favourite wrestler ever.

Fun Fact: New Line Cinema released two movies during the summer of 1989: A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, No Holds Barred. One was a rush job that was literally being written as it was being shot which more or less killed the franchise, the other was a terrible Hulk Hogan movie which was almost entirely rewritten in 36 hours. Guess which one did better at the box office?

"Mean Jeans" i was dying

The first audible episode. A landmark :)

How could anyone thumb down these videos? These boys put alot of effort into them and they bring back a ton of memories. Great job.....from Warrensburg Missouri USA.

I hated, hated, HATED, the Big Boss Man as a kid. However, after re-watching these matches, I have to admit that Boss Man was a fantastic wrestler. His bumps were near perfection and he played the roll of heel to absolute perfection. WWE is missing talent like this in its present state.

Man you guys buried Run DMC hahaha. They weren’t great but that crowd was absolutely dead lol they didn’t do them any favors.

you guys are awesome.thanks for the uploads

Sherri's rumble 90 promo is great too! And she's very entertaining at Slam 89. My guess is it just took the character awhile to involve.

There’s nothing that says how low on the totem pole Red Rooster was more than him being battered at Wrestlemania by The Brooklyn Brawler, the most well known jobber in WWE history

1:22:12 "Why didn't Liz take her husband's side?" Because at that time it was not yet acknowledged in kayfabe that they were married (as they had been since 1984). They weren't married in kayfabe until two and a half years after this PPV, in SummerSlam '91 when part of the "card" was their on-screen wedding (Savage had flipped back to babyface by then so they could reconcile on screen). That was the "Match Made in Heaven" , the counterpart of the aptly-named "Match Made in Hell" handicap 2 v 3 tag match of Hogan and Warrior against Slaughter, "Mustafa" (Iron Sheik), and General Adnan. Sadly, despite the fans finally getting the payoff of seeing them marry, the actual marriage was in trouble by that point and they divorced in real life just over a year later in August 92, with the WWF actually acknowledging this in kayfabe in a brief statement. And in fact if you listen carefully, despite the clearly shown insane jealously and the implications, there never was any clear and definitive claim on Macho Man's part during the MegaPowers storyline and in the years before that he and Liz were in any kind of romantic relationship at all. He had only ever said she was lovely and his manager, and that Hogan had eyes for her. Liz for her part said she "cared for" both men, and the face announcers would always say how "concerned" she was when either one was in trouble in the ring, but she never stated any romantic interest in either man. It was all very very carefully done, carefully phrased, to not ACTUALLY have a love triangle despite going 90% of the way towards one.

i'm glad i found this channel, good job fellas, oooh-yeahhh

I always saw the Goldberg security as there to protect the fans if one of them threw something at him or tried to mess with him and he snapped and went into the stands after them. Plus it does look really cool.

So as to why Goldberg has bodyguards, I’ll reference the movie Predator. When filming the movie the actor who played Billy (Sonny Landham) was a reported drinker and notorious for picking fights and trashing places, so the only way Fox was able to insure him was that they a hire a team of security/bodyguards, not to protect Sonny from others mind you but to protect others and himself from himself. And since Goldberg is a right bellend who likes to break stuff, smash windows with his hand, split his head split open from bashing it into a door and giving a concussion/ ending the careers of a Hall of famer, the security team was to protect Goldberg from hurting himself and others

Lads, I love your shows & commentary! Regarding Liz & Savage, they were married in reality, but in kayfabe Liz was just a "manager". When Savage kayfabe asked Liz to marry him & they had the "wedding" - they had actually been married already for 6 or 7 yrs & the relationship was all but over. They split & then divorced a year or so later.

RIP to Bushwacker Luke, he died last week at the age of 73.

I love this channel so much. I love your zany editing style too. I’ve been listening and watching your PPV reviews pretty much every chance I get for the last 3 days. I’m starting to swear in Irish and call everyone “lad”......an unexpected side effect

Makes me sad that Macho was so great but was just another guy to job to Hogan at Mania.

Brings back so many memories of when wrestling was worth watching! Reminded me of the good old days,watching quality PPV's with family&friends!

loving these videos

I love how you can still see Randy’s beady eyes behind the shades

29:37 WORZEL ALERT!!! Worzel telling Mr. Perfect to watch his step.

Goldberg's security is to protect the fans because Goldberg is so intense he could spear one at any time

Thanks a lot amazing to see all that :) your reviews are amazing interestng and fun:

Because of OSW, I actually became a fan of Rubbish Ronnie Garbage! I even watched his entire shoot interview on KZfaq because of them lol

17:55 When i saw Ted in a cape i was like, it's not halloween! Why is he Dracula(???) then my mom said he was actually wearing Vince McMahon's cape, & his promo vid where he's in a fur coat & driving, that was Vinces fur coat & car... Vince IS the Million $ Man IRL

"I'd rather take a beating and have a little sit down" fucking gold lol

Is this the one with lol a quick rub followed by a squeeze squeezes lmao 😂 😂

These reviews are hilarious I thought ax was underrated on the mic. He has one of my favourite voices ever. Sounds like he's downed a pint of acid

SPOILER ALERT Mr Fuji is 53 at the time of this PPV. His birthday is May 4th 1935. 1 month 2 days before his 54th birthday. He is 79 today and still alive.

Monsoon was a legend. Helped build that company!

The best part about this episode is the beginning. It reminds me of people I used to work with in a restaurant.

Oh god! Didn't know that Tim White suicide angle was a long running thing. Thought it was just a one off. That is truly dire!
