OSW Review HD
Hosted by OSW Review HD
An Irish video podcast where three friends provide deep-dive, comedic reviews of classic professional wrestling story arcs, PPV by PPV.
A video encyclopedia of wrestling's most gloriously flawed eras, framed as multi-episode "story arcs." Part history lesson and part comedy roast, each episode is a meticulously edited, feature-length commentary track synced to the event being reviewed, complete with custom animations, archival footage, and running gags. The show treats wrestling's past as a series of distinct chapters, allowing for deep narrative exploration of promotions like WWF/E, WCW, and ECW.
“The "story arc" structure is OSW's signature, grouping pay-per-views into chronological sagas rather than reviewing them randomly. Its high production value, including extensive video editing, custom graphics, and frequent use of audio drops ("spliceys"), sets it apart from typical audio-only podcasts.”
Who hosts this show
OSW Review (Old School Wrestling Review) is an Irish video podcast hosted by Jay Hunter, Steve "V1" Roe, and Steve "Mr. OOC". Founded in 2011, the Dublin-based trio chronologically critiques professional wrestling storylines, primarily from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, in a format that blends historical context with heavy use of pop culture references and video clips. Jay Hunter, who left medical school to run the channel full-time, leads the production of the show, which has grown into a small media company funded primarily by fans on Patreon.

What you'll be asked on this show
This is a co-hosted comedic review show, not an interview-based podcast. The hosts, Jay, V1, and OOC, follow a narrative script reviewing old wrestling events, films, or video games. There are no guest interviews in the main series.
This is a non-interview, co-hosted review show led by Jay Hunter with his two friends, V1 and Mr. OOC. Jay acts as the main narrator, guiding the chronological review with a detailed script, while V1 serves as an energetic color commentator and OOC provides dry, deadpan humor. Their dynamic relies on spontaneous reactions, long-running inside jokes, and frequent use of audio and video clips from movies and games for comedic effect.
