Wrestling Podcasts! (UPDATED FEB 6TH 2016!)

Occasionally from time to time, I like to kick back and reminisce on the yesteryear of professional wrestling. Thankfully, the internet is full of retrospective podcasts that allows one to do so...

One of these podcasts is OSW Review, a video podcast run by three lads out of Dublin, Ireland...


Initially, the podcast was dedicated to chronicling the Hulkamania Era (PPV by PPV) but has since then expanded to covering other eras, such as the short period where David Arquette was WCW Champion and are currently beginning a series of episodes dedicated to Extreme Championship Wrestling...

The podcast is rife with playful jabs and inside jokes, one in particular led to my contributions to the show...

The lads often call for a "Splicey Splicey" whenever there's a demand for a post-production splice-in of a clip related to the current discussion. I ended up creating a fanart of the phrase in the style of the classic SummerSlam logo and shared it with them on their Twitter...

Jay Hunter, the head of the show, liked it so much that he ended up using it in their 24th episode covering Survivor Series 1991 and lead to further collaborations with the podcast...

More of that and my work with The Attitude Era Podcast after the break....
