OSW Review (full name Old School Wrestling Review) is an Irish video podcast which reviews professional wrestling events and movies. ^[1] Founded by Jay Hunter, ^[2] the podcast is independent but syndicated to professional wrestling critic video series Botchamania. ^[3] The podcast was founded in 2008 with a panel of three hosts, Hunter, Steve "V1" Roe and "Mr. OOC" (abbreviation of "Out Of Character," a term from online fantasy pro-wrestling promotions & forums, real first name Steve, surname unknown). ^{[4] [5] [6]} A fourth host, "Neo"/Niall was also featured in early episodes, but has not been featured since. Botchamania creator Maffew Gregg has served as a guest host on some occasions. The show drew inspiration from the professional wrestling Review-a-Wai and video gaming Epic Battle Axe podcasts. ^{[7] [8]}

Hunter also promoted a weekly radio show for Radio Dublin named Super OSW 64. ^[9]
