Over The Top Wrestling (OTT)

[6.0] "OTT is still a decent promotion, but it's clearly not what it used to be. The mix of local talent and imports is still there, and the crowd remains one of their biggest strengths, but the magic from the 2017-2020 period just isn't the same anymore. They've lost a lot of momentum over the years, and while the shows are still enjoyable, they don't feel as special or must-watch as they once did."

[9.0] "OTT is one of the few promotions in Europe that consistently delivers. Solid production, packed venues, and a roster that mixes experienced names like Big Damo, LJ Cleary, Trent Seven with rising talent like Renzo Rose, Santos and Cian Noonan The booking has direction, the crowd's always hot, and the shows never feel like a waste of time. No fluff, just good wrestling with a strong identity."

[8.0] "The mix of homegrown names and international talent keeps the shows fresh, and the crowd always brings the energy. There's a lot to enjoy. You can tell they are building toward something special with all the efforts to put on a good show."

[7.0] "I am not sure why I am not as receptive to OTT as anybody else around me. They clearly care about building something unique but production can feel a bit hit or miss at times. I feel they could do more and also better. Definitely worth checking out if you're into the European scene."

[9.0] "OTT are slowly but surely recovering from COVID and they're getting in more and more imports as well as keeping guys like Trent Seven and Big Damo around full time which is needed after losing much of their imports after COVID. Their homegrown talent gets the crowd over and have a ton of potential to do well elsewhere. Sammy D is a great heel but also works as a face of the promotion. B Cool is the underdog who the people always love. LJ Cleary just came back from NOAH and he's going to be huge as he now has international name value as well as new skills from Japan and a ton of other great talent. Add in the great crowd, the already mentioned quality of imports that few in the Brit-Irish wrestling scene can compete with and the long back category that OTT has over the years. OTT is certainly a promotion to watch and invest in."

[9.0] "Nice mix of imports and local talents. You can enjoy OTT without necessarily even being a fan of pro wrestling, as crazy as that sounds. Having said that, the likes of Ospreay, Walter (now Gunther in WWE) and Kota Ibushi have put on all timers in this prmotion."

[8.0] "Another promotion caught in the crossfire of the Speaking Out movement and that lost a lot of momentum and goodwill since, OTT will never be able to replicate the run they were in from 2017 to 2020. But they still have built themselves a legacy on the European scene with a ton of classics and great alumni. Today, they are still going, and in spite of everything, still offer the best wrestling in the country."

[3.0] "On one hand, they employed performers that the rest of the BritWres scene did, too. On the other, David Starr and Jordan Devlin being the two that the company was based around has definitely left a more sour taste when it comes to them considering Starr kind of started it all when it comes to Speaking Out as compared to other companies. They certainly have an uphill battle to get to where they were before the pandemic."

[0.0] "Cant look at them the same anymore. Went from my favorite promotion in the world to still keeping abusers as regulars and shit. For a company that tried to act inclusive it was a gigantic slap in the face to many people including me. Thats how much goodwill they had with their fanbase at their peak. Every big angle and match in this companies history involves the dirt worst people in the industry so it sucks to even go back and watch the old stuff. A damn shame"

[5.0] "Anyone remember when we were going to get Starr versus Moxley? That seems like a lifetime ago, and rightly won't happen now. That's just to point out that OTT were on a run that I don't think they'll ever be able to replicate."

[2.0] "A shell of its former self, gone from the hottest promotion on the continent to an after thought. Struggle to see where it goes from here."

[4.0] "Still going 'strong' and no one cares. Just a bit sad, both the tainted memories and the current state of the promotion. Shame OTT is incapable of hot takes like "assault bad" or "abuse bad"."

[10.0] "David Starr calls this promotion ? the last of the indies? , and rightfully so, a promotion that rose from a historically weak scene that soon emerged into the best European wrestling promotion. One of OTT? s many strengths is it? s use of talent, mixing homegrown talents I. E Scotty Davis, More Than Hype, Terry Thatcher, with some of the biggest names from the UK scene I. E British Strong Style, WALTER, Mark Haskins. The promotion always feels like its current wrestlers are soon to be stars, with numerous young Irish performers getting more recognition on the European indie scene. Perhaps this is best shown by Jordan Devlin, the Import Killer, he was the absolute biggest star in OTT and helped elevate the promotion to unseen heights. Now, with David Starr as the champion, I see nothing but prestige in its future."

[10.0] "The best promotion in Europe without a shadow of a doubt. Great talent, great promo packages & excellent matches."

[8.0] "Somewhat inconsistent match is my only issue with OTT. Aside from that they're a very likable and entertaining promotion."

[7.0] "Ott is a good promotion..... sometimes. The promotion is not very consistent with their shows. When they do bomb a show, it really bombs, but when they pull through they really pull through . ScrapperMania is really good though. I just do not understand why OTT is ranked number 5 on the worlds best promotions EDIT: I am seeing the appeal of OTT Much more now, still not #5"

[10.0] "Cracking promotion. As you'd expect with the Irish, they do comedy stuff far better than any other British promotion out there, some of their homegrown acts i've found myself really warming to after only seeing them once or twice. They actually use NJPW etc guys pretty well, and provide fresh, interesting matches and angles and whatnot. Defo a promotion to keep an eye on, and I cannot wait to finally fly over there and go to a show myself, it looks like the crowd have an absolute blast every time."

[10.0] "There's a case that OTT very well may be one of the best promotions in Europe right now. They're one of the most diverse companies around at the moment, with their inclusion of both the Women's and Gender Neutral Championship. They push their local talent, but also put on great matches featuring imports where both the visiting wrestlers and the local guys look great. They also have some of the best hype videos in wrestling."

[9.0] "OTT certainly is a great promotion, by far Ireland's best. The mixture of their own Irish talent as well as booking some of the greatest Indie-Names for their big shows is a brilliant mixture. So far, every single show I have attended was a lot of fun and has provided me with great evenings. All in all I can really just advice anyone who is around or who is willing to subscribe to OTT on Demand to check OTT out, the Contenders shows are especially great if you wanna see the future of Irish/European Wrestling!"

[10.0] "I have now been to a number OTT shows and each one is better than the last! It's great to see a promotion bringing big names to Ireland as well as giving local stars a chance to shine like Devlin, KOTN & Tucker. The fact that they are bringing Omega, The Bucks etc to Dublin this Saturday just goes to show you that the promotion is just going stronger"

[9.0] "Largely responsible for the growth of Irish wrestling in the last several years, with a hot crowd and lots of fun shows. The only issue is the reliance on British and international talent, but this is something OTT are working on at grassroots level to help supplement the likes of Jordan Devlin, The Lads from the Flats and Martina the Session Moth."
