OSW Update! (November)

Hellooo!

Hope you're all doing amazing and Santa didn't rear his head until after Halloween was finished 😆 here's what's going down in Groovestown:

Our latest OSW, WM41 has been restored! It was down for 2 weeks fighting a nasty copyright claim (Charlotte Flair's interview) which I felt was both fair use, and integral to that part of the episode. I know it's 1m out of 198 but I thought it was an important minute! To humanise Charlotte and show the depth of her sadness and getting lost, you kinda need the whole thing for the impact. I kept quiet about it's removal in hopes that you'd already seen it, and thus wouldn't notice. I really appreciate many of you leaving comments on the vid as it will signal to YouTube that it's viewable again :) If u haven't yet I'd love to you here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2p1_0KCkwo

What's next for OSW?
We're going to do a quick round of Brucie Bonus episodes before starting a new arc. It's close enough to Xmas (Nov ep, and the Xmas show!) so we'll be starting a new arc in 2026 🙂

In Production:
We're deep into video editing the next OSW, and more axcloosiv noggerU reviews too! The next episode was chosen as a tribute to Mo: a WWF PPV review! It'll be ready late Nov. Any guesses what it is? After that, it's a WCW review I don't think you'll guess 😂

A bit behind the curtain: WM41 was the last episode of our previous 'block' of recordings, so October was starting the whole production process from scratch again. This type of bulk recordings mean a shorter time in between episodes, i.e. the Cena arc was late June, late July, early Sept, Oct; that's pretty good going! But also a negative as i'm doing one thing four times at the same time (4x recording, 4x audio editing, 4x initial video editing, 4x final video editing) i didn't realise doing final video editing 4x in a row would melt my brain so much! But I'm real proud of how they all turned out - over 10 hours of OSW combined! Releasing Over The Top before Halloween gives us a bitta leeway to record OSWs and a fresh batch of NU reviews :)

Are we doing Holiday merch?
Nobody asked that but we'll answer that - we have 2 new Cartoon Network-inspired designs! We'll also have a small batch of Xmas Geansais & OSW plushies. Just Europe/UK for now, but working on getting a USA/CA distributor. I'll make a post next week when it's all ready to go! I just wanted to give ye a head's up :)

So TL/DR?
New episode end of the month, it's a WWF PPV! And more OSW goodness to come!

Anywoo, back to editing! wahoo! Man the next ep is SO much fun, and about 100mins. Hornswoggled OOC to watch extra matches, and he was just as delighted as you can imagine. Can't wait for ye guys to see it. Thanks for keeping us in business brahs and bras! Ye fookin' ROCK.

See ya in the funny pages!
Love,
Jay 💚
