DEADLOCK: A Pro Wrestling Podcast

"If 10,000 little Hulksters couldn't stop me, you sure can't!" Hulk Hogan is known for a lot of things, with one of them being his iconic mustache. On this episode of WCW Monday Nitro from October 2nd, 1995, we see the beginning of the end of Hulkamania. At least, that's what The Taskmaster & The Dungeon of Doom thought. The Giant has set out to destroy Hulkamania, with instructions from The Taskmaster, The Dungeon Master, and the rest of the Dungeon of Doom. The Giant has already injured Hulk Hogan's neck, and Jimmy Hart has already warned The Hulkster that he's in no condition to take on The Giant right now. But, that isn't going to stop Hogan from trying to get revenge here tonight. Little does he know, Kevin Sullivan had a plan. That plan? Dress up like an old lady, and attack both Hogan & Jimmy Hart, before shaving his mustache off his face! We also have two HUGE main event matches on this episode, one that starts the show, and one that ends the show. We open the show with "Macho Man" Randy Savage taking on Lex Luger, in a high stakes match. If Luger loses, he says he will quit the WCW, even though he just got here about a month ago. At the end of the show, we see a grudge match between two former best friends, as "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair takes on "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Of course, Arn isn't alone, and he has Brian Pillman waiting to take out Flair at any moment. Also on this show, we see, for the first time ever on Nitro, a 1-on-1 encounter between Eddie Guerrero & Dean Malenko, which is almost ruined by a Disco Inferno entrance. All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"The polygraph says... YOU'RE A DAMN LIAR!" The 60 Minute Adrenaline Rush is back, as are the boys! We're back to 2006 TNA, where things are looking up for the six-sided brand. Kurt Angle has just left the WWE and is on his way in, but before we can figure out what the plans are for him, TNA looks ahead to it's next PPV, No Surrender, as well as their biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory. Jeff Jarrett, once again, has been a controversial figure here in TNA, especially as the reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Jim Cornette knows that Jarrett has been behind all of the recent shady situations surrounding him regaining or retaining the NWA World Championship. Like when Earl Hebner helped him win the title, or when Christian smashed Sting with a guitar in his last defense to help him retain. What about Larry Zbyszko's involvement, with him being on the championship committee? Jarrett swears that all of these are coincidences, and even agrees to a polygraph test to find out if he's telling the truth. Cornette wasn't going to let that opportunity go, so here tonight, Jeff Jarrett will be connected to a lie detector test and asked about all of these incidents. Thankfully, Jeff has some help, as "Showtime" Eric Young has an Uncle from Canada that has never failed a polygraph test, and Eric is going to show Jarrett how to beat this one. LAX, Homicide & Hernandez, recently won the NWA World Tag Team Championships from America's Most Wanted, and are here to murder The Mack Brothers to show just how dominant they are, as they prepare for the first ever Ultimate X Tag Team Championship Match at No Surrender against AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels. Speaking of America's Most Wanted, Chris Harris & James Storm have been having communication problems as of late, which lead to them losing the tag titles. Tonight, they'll team up with Kazarian & Maverick Matt Bentley to take on The James Gang (BG & Kip James), Norman Smiley, & Shark Boy. In the main event, we get a special challenge match against two guys that have been recently at odds, as Christian Cage steps into the ring with Ron "The Truth" Killings. Also, we hear from Shane Douglas & his "Newly Franchised" Naturals, Chase Stevens & Andy Douglas. Plus, The X-Division loves Jackass Number Two!

"But my name's Billy..." After having such a good time reviewing WWF Heat recently, we decided to jump back in for one of the more infamous moments in the history of this show. A moment that we didn't even realize took place on Heat! On July 11th, 1999, The Rock showed up on Heat to deliver a promo that would change the course of Billy Gunn's career, and is still talked about to this day. "Mr. Ass" Billy Gunn has been attacking The Rock over the past few weeks, and The Rock finally has something to say about it here on The Rock's Show, Heat! Of course, there is a lot more going on somehow. We're on the road to WWF Fully Loaded, and The Big Show has drawn some attention from a lot of the boys in the back. More specifically, The Undertaker & his brother Kane have seemingly re-united to take down the big man, and he's here tonight to put a stop to it. He even debuts a new catchphrase! Also on this show, The Brood are looking to get back to their winning ways as Edge, Gangrel & Christian take on three members of The Corporate Ministry in Big Bossman, Viscera, & Mideon. The Brood cut another fantastic promo, but at the end of this one, The Brood seemingly is no more, as Gangrel turns his back on Edge. We can't forget about all the HUGE matches on this show, as well. The Hardy Boyz defend their WWF Tag Team Championships against Droz & Prince Albert. Billy Gunn (Mr. Ass) goes one-on-one with Test, while Shane McMahon & The Mean Street Posse watch from commentary. No one wants to wrestle Al Snow, so he comes up with his own match against WWF Super Astros best in Max Mini, Mini Nova, Battalion, & El Torito. Our big main event is a NO HOLDS BARRED match with Bradshaw, who has a concussion, and Kane! All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"Jump in!" We have made it to Episode 360 of the DEADLOCK Podcast, and we thought we'd combine our love for wrestling with our love for the Xbox 360 for this review. We decided to go back to the night before the release of the Xbox 360, and see what the WWE was doing with their flagship show, Monday Night RAW, at the time. The Xbox 360 released on November 22, 2005, and this episode of RAW is from November 21, 2005! We're on the road to Survivor Series 2005, and this is RAW's go-home show before the "big" PPV. RAW & Smackdown are fighting for brand supremacy, as they always loved to have, and even across the pond they'll still make sure to go out of their way to attack each-other before the Survivor Series event. This episode of RAW takes place in England, and all of the members from the Team RAW vs Team Smackdown match scheduled for Survivor Series are here to battle it out. Team RAW's Shawn Michaels, Kane, Big Show, Chris Masters & Carlito go to war with Team Smackdown's Batista, JBL, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton & Bobby Lashley at the beginning of this show, in the parking lot no less! This leaves Batista laying on the windshield of a car, seemingly costing Team Smackdown their World Champion. Triple H & Ric Flair are set to do battle at Survivor Series in a Last Man Standing match, and Triple H swears that he will end Flair's career this Sunday. To prove what he's capable of, he shows what he can do against one of his greatest foes; Val Venis. The crowd here in England are so excited! Kurt Angle is preparing for his WWE Championship match against John Cena at the PPV, but luckily for him, Eric Bischoff has granted him his very own referee for every match he has now; Daivari! Daivari is even his referee here tonight in Kurt's rematch against former team mate, Shelton Benjamin. Cena, of course, does his best to embarrass Kurt Angle by attempting to interview the roster, The Boogeyman, & fans to see if they think Kurt Angle sucks, in a segment that goes on for 15 years. Also on this show, Mickie James takes on Candice Michelle, which leads to Trish Stratus being KIDNAPPED, and Tajiri takes on Rob Conway...kinda. In our main event, Team RAW's Shawn Michaels takes on Team SmackDown's JBL in a Lumberjack match, with all of the participants from the Survivor Series match playing the role of Lumberjacks.

"We got any birthday cake left?" We are two (2) days removed from one of WCW's most unique PPV events, Hog Wild 1996, and history was changed forever. "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan defeated The Giant to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, before spray-painting the title with 'NWO', one of the most iconic looks for a championship ever. This episode of WCW Monday Nitro took place on August 12th, 1996, and we're looking at the fall-out from that very PPV. The WCW management & wrestlers are all trying to figure out how to combat the trio of Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash & Scott Hall, while being aware of the threat of more members joining, as is teased by the members of the New World Order throughout the show. Sting & Lex Luger, who had a controversial loss to The Outsiders at Hog Wild due to potential shenanigans involving referee Nick Patrick, call out Kevin Nash & Scott Hall for a match on this show. Speaking of controversial losses, The Steiner Brothers are here for a return match against Harlem Heat, who beat them at Hog Wild in a Tag Team Championship match after some interference from bother Sister Sherri & Colonel Parker. Also in a return match, Rey Mysterio Jr defends the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against The Ultimate Dragon (not Ultimo!). We also get a huge WCW United States Championship match, as Ric Flair takes on "Macho Man" Randy Savage. All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"Bossman...take the keys." We're in uncharted territory here on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, as for only the 2nd time ever, we take a look back at an episode of WWF Sunday Night HEAT! This episode of Heat is from May 9th, 1999, which just so happens to be the night before the highest rated episode of WWF RAW is WAR ever. Surely, all of the people that tuned in for RAW were just so fired up from this episode of Heat, so what could have possibly been going on?! Tonight, we're going to hear from The Rock! That's all you need in 1999. The Rock & Stone Cold were both thrown off the stage by the Corporate Ministry's Undertaker & Triple H on the last episode of RAW, which lead to The Rock breaking his arm. He'll be here tonight to address that, after we get through all of the real stars of the WWF making appearances first. D-Generation X have been going through it, as not only has Triple H & Chyna left the group to join the Corporation, now the Corporate Ministry, but Billy Gunn has also turned his back on long-time partners X-Pac & Road Dogg. Kane & X-Pac are the current WWF Tag Team Champions, and Kane is going to do anything he can to get his hands on Billy Gunn. All night. The Union is here to get revenge on the Corporate Ministry. Ken Shamrock, Big Show, Test & Mankind do what they can to stop the likes of Big Bossman, Viscera, and Mideon from attacking any more people. Big Show even has a match tonight against Mideon! We also can't forget whatever is going on with Al Snow. Hardcore Holly was pinned by Al Snow, who was holding Head, to win the WWF Hardcore Championship. Al is convinced that Head is the champion, so Hardcore Holly has gone to the "Hardcore Championship Committee" to sanction a match between Al Snow & Head on this show. Yes, that is a match. Also on the card, Triple H takes on The Road Dogg, Val Venis faces Billy Gunn, and in the main event, Meat with PMS (Terri Runnels & Jacqueline) battles rival Droz with Prince Albert!

"Whether you like it or not, ladies & gentlemen, the monster's reign has begun!" When a top guy gets injured, you have to call an audible, and on this episode of WWE SmackDown from July 20, 2007, WWE had a big decision to make. The current World Heavyweight Champion, Edge, has gone down with an injury, and we are only 2 days away from the Great American Bash 2007 PPV. What do they do?! Well, the only thing they can do; have a 20 man over the top rope BATTLE ROYAL to decide the new World Heavyweight Champion. Of course, all the stars are here in this match, like Jimmy Wang Yang, The Major Brothers, Deuce & Domino, and Eugene. There's also some undercard guys like Batista, MVP, Kane, & Finlay. But, the biggest & best of them all, and the man that walks away with the championship, is The Great Khali! Even though this is a major part of the show, there are some other things to look forward to! Kane & Batista are in this battle royal, but that's not the only thing they do tonight, as they have a main event 1 on 1 match against each other to find out who will face The Great Khali at The Great American Bash for the World Championship. Victoria faces off against Torrie Wilson in a rivalry that's been brewing on SmackDown for a few weeks, and Matt Hardy takes on Kenny Dykstra. We're also given a look at some new talent, or re-debuting talent, coming to smackdown, like Chuck Palumbo & his motorcycles, as well as Jesse & Festus!

"Let The Bodies Hit The Floor!" Just over 20 years ago, on June 20th, 2006, WWE brought us the 2nd episode of ECW on Sci-Fi. The first episode of WWE ECW has taken place to much criticism, but also a fantastic rating of over 3 million viewers. With the debut of talent like Kurt Angle & Big Show, as well as characters like The ECW Zombie, no one really knew what to expect from this show. Seemingly, that 'no one' included the people in charge. By the way, you can check out our review of the 1st episode of WWE ECW right here! But, this is the next week, and it's time to see what groundwork will be laid for the future of this 'brand'. The night before on WWE Monday Night RAW, ECW showed up to interrupt the show. Sabu made his presence known by not only attacking John Cena, but a chair thrown at Cena's head bust him wide open. This, of course, is to set up the match between John Cena & Sabu at this Sunday's "Vengeance" PPV. Our main event for the evening also involves two superstars from RAW; Edge & Randy Orton. They're here to take on the team of Kurt Angle & Rob Van Dam. RVD had also shown up on RAW the night before to attack his opponent for Vengeance, Edge! Kurt Angle & Randy Orton are continuing their rivalry stemming from the last ECW One Night Stand, where Angle beat Randy Orton. Also, Macho Libre is here to tell the ECW fans about how Macho Man did promos, which The Sandman takes umbrage to. Kelly is here to give us another Exposé, Sabu takes on The FBI's Tony Mamaluke w/ Trinity, Tommy Dreamer stands up to The Big Show, and John Cena is here to confront the ECW 'Extremist Rebels'.

"RING OF HONOR!! R-O-H!!" On this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we're headed back to July 11th, 2005 to re-visit this much talked about moment in wrestling history. The Edge/Matt Hardy/Lita drama is still unfolding at this time, with Matt Hardy having been released due to it all. But, on this episode of RAW, Matt Hardy is back for revenge! Matt shows up, attacks Edge during his match with Kane, and shouts "COME SEE ME AT RING OF HONOR! ROH!" into the microphone. John Cena recently joined the brand, and is already at odds with current RAW General Manager, Eric Bischoff, who looks to make an example out of Cena via Chris Jericho. This isn't the only person Jericho has a problem with, though, as Jericho interrupts Carlito's "Carlito's Cabana" talk show. They both argue over who should interview Shawn Michaels about why he attacked Hulk Hogan, but ultimately, the original wrestling-talk-show-host "Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows up to steal the spotlight, and will have HBK on his show later tonight! Speaking of Carlito, he will be defending his Intercontinental Championship against Shelton Benjamin, the man he cheated out of the championship at WWE Vengeance just a couple weeks ago. Kurt Angle hosts his Gold Medal Invitational, where "Famous Teacher Who Got Fired" Matt Striker accepts the challenge. Also, Chris Masters looks to get revenge on Tajiri for spitting green mist in his eyes, and we get our first elimination segment for the 2005 RAW Diva Search!

"We are wild...and young!" A moment in time so incredible that it has both been remembered & forgotten, and then remembered again, over the course of the last 16 years. It's time for us to head back to the world of NXT, during an era where the WWE just really wanted to make some people look really dumb on television. NXT Season 2 comes to an end here on this episode, and we get to find out who is the NEXT BREAKOUT WWE SUPERSTAR! They can only be so lucky. Not Lucky Cannon, though. Who in the end did the best keg races, and kissing, and punching a bag, and running around the ring, and cutting a promo?! Will it be Kaval, Michael McGillicutty, or Alex Riley? During the night, we are also introduced to the participants of the next season of NXT, which is an all divas season. There is so little wrestling on this show, like really none at all. We get one match, with all of the finalists in a triple-threat contest. Their job is to win the match but also impress the WWE Pros (Cody Rhodes, Zack Ryder, MVP, Kofi Kingston, Michelle McCool & Layla, Mark Henry, John Morrison, & The Miz) that are watching (kinda) on the stage. Of course, all of the losers of this season are at ringside, including Husky Harris (Bray Wyatt), Percy Watson, Eli Cottonwood, Titus O'Neil, and Lucky Cannon (?). There are some big time moments on this, including Michael McGillicutty's greatest speech of all time, and the complete disaster of a show-ending angle.

"I HATE DUCKS!" A moment in wrestling that everyone has seen, but very few understand the context, which brings us to watching this episode...where we get even less context. Of course, this episode has the infamous scene where Scott Steiner attacks...a duck! It's WCW Thunder from September 27th, 2000, and we are in quite an "interesting" time in WCW. Vince Russo has just won the WCW World Championship, and everyone has absolutely lost their minds. Literally everyone. From the talent, to the staff, to the announce team, especially on this episode. Most of the top guys do not want to work Thunder, so they just don't! Leaving us with shows like this. Lex Luger made his return to WCW this past Nitro, in an attempt to help Vince Russo win the World Title. He's back here on Thunder, to interrupt Jeff Jarrett, and to apologize for what he did. Jeff Jarrett isn't having any of it, until top guy General Hugh G. Rection comes out to say that he stands with Lex Luger. Team Canada's own Lance Storm attacks General Rection, which sets up our unsanctioned main event! "Above Average" Mike Sanders is here to run the show, as Vince Russo is not here. Well, he is in this town, as he does an interview with Mike Tenay later, but he just isn't at this show, like most top guys aren't. Mike Sanders & the Natural Born Thrillers look to advance in the Hardcore Title Tournament that Mike Sanders has just set up, and if they don't, they are SOL...and you know what that means. We also get some matches! Rey Mysterio Jr & Juventud Guerrera face off in the 2nd match of their Best of 5 Series, Team Canada's Jim Duggan & Elix Skipper get a tag team title match against Sean O'Haire & Mark Jindrak. The two Hardcore Title tournament matches we get are Johnny The Bull taking on Sergeant AWOL, and Reno taking on Crowbar! We can't forget to mention the big talk show segment of the night, the LAVA LAMP LOUNGE hosted by Mike Awesome! All of that, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"Look at that! 200 feet!" It's time to talk about the INVASION era once again! Stone Cold Steve Austin is the WWF Champion, and last week on SmackDown, he made possibly the biggest mistake of his career; he threw Kurt Angle's Olympic Gold Medals over a bridge, into the river. Stone Cold seems to be involved in a lot of these bridge angles, now that we think about it. But, now it's RAW is WAR, and Kurt Angle is out for revenge. So much so, that Kurt Angle KIDNAPS Stone Cold, and takes him to a bridge in an attempt to throw him off of it. Live. On television. While everyone else worries about that, we also have some wrestling going on! As mentioned, The Invasion is still in 'full' swing, and The Rock is the current WCW World Heavyweight Champion. On this episode of RAW in Toronto, Canada, Christian gets a chance to win the big gold! He's so confident, that he even gives Edge back the King of the Ring trophy that he's been parading around with. Former WCW Champion Booker T & the owner of WCW, Shane McMahon, take a big interest in this match, as well. Also on this episode of RAW is WAR, 1/2 of the current WWF & WCW Tag Team Champions, The Undertaker, takes on The Alliance's Test. The Dudley Boyz take on Big Show & Tajiri to find out the #1 contenders for the tag titles. Matt Hardy & Lita look for revenge on The Hurricane & Ivory an in intergender tag match, while Perry Saturn looks to find out who kidnapped Moppy! Most importantly, Shawn Stasiak is here, managed by Stacy Keibler, to take on Spike Dudley, who is managed by Molly Holly. All of that, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"This Will NEVER Be Over!" We're coming up on Memorial Day, so what better way to celebrate America than by watching a Memorial Day episode of WWE Monday Night RAW?! Hooray! Of course, we are only a few weeks removed from the last episode of RAW from 2006 we watched, which means we are right in the middle of Kane's "May 19th" situation. Except this time, we finally get to find out who is behind all of the mystery & shenanigans that have been haunting Kane for weeks now. It's...himself! Masked Kane interrupts Kane's match with Shelton Benjamin, which sends Kane into a shock like he's never experienced before...and hopefully never did again! We also can't forget the big main event; Triple H takes on the 20 year old (did you know he's 20?) Kenny of the Spirit Squad! But, it's not just a regular match, it's the first ever SPIRIT JACK match, where all of the other members of the Spirit Squad (Nicky! Mikey! Johnny! Mitch!) will surround the ring, lumberjack style. Vince McMahon put this match together, after Triple H "accidentally" hit Shane McMahon with a sledgehammer a couple weeks ago, and also stopped the Spirit Squad from attacking Shawn Michaels last week. ECW is about to make it's big return to television, and ECW One Night Stand 2006 is right around the corner. Paul Heyman & Mick Foley have a face-to-face confrontation in the ring, which leads to the breaking news that RVD isn't the only person joining the ECW brand, but so is Kurt Angle! Also on this show, "The World's Largest Love Machine" Viscera seeks revenge on Umaga, Beth Phoenix & Torrie Wilson team up to face Victoria & Candice Michelle, Big Show faces Edge for the #1 Contendership of the WWE Championship, and WWE Champion John Cena faces the newest RAW acquisition, Johnny Nitro!

"I'm not good enough to call BACKLASH?!" The May 1st, 2006 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW brings us the fallout from the PPV that took place the night before, Backlash! Of course, to capitalize on the momentum of this PPV, Vince McMahon opens the show & lets everyone know that he doesn't really feel like working tonight, and he is going to let all of the members of the Spirit Squad run the show. Yes, all of them. Kenny. Johnny. Mitch. Nicky. Mikey. All of them. Of course, that comes with a lot of "interesting" matches, including John Cena defending his WWE Championship against the 20 year old Kenny. Three of the members of the Spirit Squad also very fairly put themselves in a 6-man tag against "The Odd Squad" of Eugene, Snitsky, & Goldust. Of course, that's not all the Spirit Squad does on this episode, as they decide to set their sights on the lead commentator of RAW at the time, Joey Styles. The Spirit Squad, during the live broadcast, tell Joey Styles to go backstage to have a meeting with them, where they dress him down for being bad at his job, and not having enough "spirit". This, combined with Jerry Lawler poking his buttons, sets Joey Styles off, which leads to one of the most infamous 'worked-shoot' promos in the history of WWE, leading to some very memorable lines. We also have Chris Masters' Masterlock Challenge, a Divas Cheerleader Tag Team Match involving Mickie James, Victoria, Maria, and Torrie Wilson, and the biggest match of the night; Rob Conway takes on KANE, who is being haunted by the mysterious 'May 19th' date.

"Far as I know, that's Razor Ramon!" On this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at this episode of WWF Monday Night RAW from September 30th, 1996. Everyone has been glued to their screens, waiting for the returns of Razor Ramon & Diesel to the WWF. Everyone thought they were long gone, taking over WCW as Scott Hall & Kevin Nash, but Good Ol' Jim Ross has come up with an unbelievable plan which involves bringing the very real Razor Ramon & Diesel back home. We've seen glimpses of them, and last week on RAW, JR re-introduced The Bad Guy to the WWF! It is 100% without a doubt a man named Razor Ramon. We're blessed with the in-ring return of Razor Ramon here on RAW, as well as promised an appearance by Big Daddy Cool, Diesel! Gorilla Monsoon, Jerry Lawler, Kevin Kelly, and really the entire company all have an issue with this. Gorilla Monsoon goes as far as to come out during Razor Ramon's match to tell JR that the WWF had nothing to do with this, and that this is very obviously NOT Razor Ramon or Diesel! Undertaker & Mankind are getting themselves prepared for the first ever "Buried Alive" match at In Your House, and what better way to prepare themselves than to hang around in a graveyard and mess with some dirt? Also on this episode, Stone Cold Steve Austin goes one-on-one with Jake Roberts, The Godwinns take on The Grimms, and we can't forget our huge main event! Shawn Michaels teams up with his mentor, Jose Lothario, to take on the team of Vader & Jim Cornette! All of that, and much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"I'd like to formally introduce myself.." It's a new year for the WWE. In fact, it's New Year's Day! It's January 1st, 2007, and the big match going into this one is the first time encounter between John Cena, and "A-List Celebrity" Kevin Federline. Federline cost Cena a match at the Cyber Sunday PPV a couple months back, and then challenged him to this match here on the first RAW of the year. Yes, Kevin Federline made the challenge to the current WWE Champion, and he accepted. Kevin Federline isn't the only person John Cena has to worry about, though. We're less than a week away from WWE New Year's Revolution, where Cena will be defending his WWE Championship against Umaga. Not only will we see these two also go at it on this show, but Jonathan Coachman, the man in charge of RAW, puts himself, Umaga, Armando Estrada, & Johnny Nitro in a 4-on-1 handicap match against Cena as well! Speaking of New Year's Revolution, Rated RKO & D-Generation X are set to go at it after weeks of Edge & Randy Orton attacking Shawn Michaels & Triple H, as well as one of their close friends & mentors, Ric Flair. DX, of course, address this in the only way they know how. Ric Flair will also be wrestling on this show, as he teams with Carlito to take on Kenny Dykstra, who just beat Ric Flair last week, and Chris Masters, who will face Carlito at the PPV. Also on this show, Jeff Hardy faces Rob Conway in a match where Conway puts his career on the line, Melina takes on Maria, and Cryme Tyme (Shad & JTG) team with The Highlanders (Robbie & Rory McAllister) to face Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, & The World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas). It doesn't get more 2007 than this.

"GET RANDY SAVAGE OUTTA' THERE!" One of the most insane moments to take place in pro-wrestling history not only happened on television, but it was long before the WWF had an 'attitude'! On this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at this episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling from November 23, 1991, where Jake "The Snake" Roberts unleashes his deadliest attack on "Macho Man" Randy Savage. With Macho Man trapped in the ropes, Jake Roberts brought a King Cobra over to him just so it could take a big bite out of Macho Man's arm! Censored on some stations, uncensored on others, this was one of the craziest things to happen on WWF TV. We're also on the road to WWF Survivor Series 1991, which took place on the Wednesday following this episode of Superstars of Wrestling. The biggest match on the card is the "Gravest Challenge", which puts current WWF Champion Hulk Hogan against The Undertaker. We hear from both of them, especially The Undertaker, throughout the night. Speaking of Survivor Series, you can't have a Survivor Series without the traditional Survivor Series matches! Survivor Series! We hear from various teams on this show, like the team of the Legion of Doom & Big Bossman, as well as the team of Ric Flair, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, The Mountie, and The Warlord! We do get some wrestling on this show, as well! Many of the best enhancement talent in the world step up to the plate here, to take on the likes of "El Matador" Tito Santana, Skinner and Texas Tornado. Bret Hart also defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Big Bully Busick! All of that, and much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast! ⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com #deadlock #prowrestling

"INTO THE DOG POOP! THE DOG POOP!" Some moments just last the tests of time, and somehow, this is one of them for us. On this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at this episode of WWF RAW is WAR from October 11, 1999. We're less than a week away from WWF No Mercy, which means we have to cram as much as possible into this show, as well as SmackDown!, before the PPV. We're also in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, so the WWF is ready to take as many shots at WCW as possible! In our main event, that is announced halfway through the show, The Rock & Sock Connection of The Rock & Mankind will team up to take on The British Bulldog & Val Venis, who had just attacked Mankind earlier in the night. The Rock has plans for his opponent at WWF No Mercy, The British Bulldog, and those plans involve a group of bulldogs spending the night in the arena, so he can collect ALL of their dog poop. Yes, The Rock came up with this plan, just so he could hit The British Bulldog with The Rock Bottom onto a tray of dog poop. Also on this show, Jim Ross has his first wrestling match ever. We couldn't believe it either! Triple H has pushed JR over the edge, causing him to attack him from behind. Stone Cold Steve Austin gave an assist to take out Triple H, leading to Triple H & Chyna both challenging Stone Cold & JR to a tag match tonight. There is somehow so much more on this show. We get an update on Stephanie McMahon's condition after Bulldog accidentally threw a STEEL TRASH CONTAINER at her head. Ivory has a non-title match against Mae Young. X-Pac doesn't want Kane's help, as he goes one-on-one with Faarooq. The New Brood of Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy take on Edge & Christian in another Terri Invitational Tournament match. The Big Show gets some horrible news, and The Big Bossman is here to make it worse. All of that, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast! ⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com #deadlock #prowrestling

The constantly paranoid Kurt Angle is back at it again, only slightly removed from the episode where he went to Sting's son's baseball game, and then attacked him in the parking lot. This time, Kurt is trying to figure out who is going to team up with Sting at TNA Genesis 2007, as he's been placed in a tag team match for his World Heavyweight Championship. Yes, that's right. The TNA World Championship is on the line in a tag team match on PPV. Kurt is teaming up with his now-rival, Kevin Nash, to take on Sting & a partner of Sting's choosing. Kurt has taken it upon himself, with help from his partner-in-crime "JB" Jeremy Borash, to interrogate the members of the TNA roster to find out who this mystery partner could be. From Jay Lethal, to Robert Roode, to Kip James & BG James, and everyone in-between, they all have to take a seat and get questioned by Kurt Angle. While this is going on, we do have some wrestling! The TNA World Tag Team Championships are on the line, as the current champions AJ Styles & Tomko take on LAX, Homicide & Hernandez. The Fight For Your Right tournament for a shot at the TNA World Championship is also going on, as we're onto the semi finals. James Storm is set to take on Kaz, and Christian Cage was meant to take on Junior Fatu (Rikishi), but he is not here. We do not know why. Does anyone want to tell us why? Kevin Nash is also on his own mission to find out who Sting's partner is at the PPV, and we check in on him through the night as he makes some phone calls to some "friends". One of them may or may not be X-Pac. Also, Team 3D continue their fight against the X-Division, now going after the Motor City Machine Guns of Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley. Awesome Kong also goes one-on-one with Christy Hemme, with her sights set on the TNA Knockout's Champion, Gail Kim. It also wouldn't be 2007 TNA without an appearance from BLACK REIGN!

"You're the first prey...of KING CUERNO!" The boys are back in the Temple, as we continue on our Lucha Underground series! On this episode of Lucha Underground, we are introduced to King Cuerno, as he takes on Drago. Dario Cueto wasn't impressed with Drago last week in the three-way main event, and tonight, he has a chance to prove himself against the debuting savage. Speaking of that three-way main event from episode 3, the other two men that were in that match, Pentagon Jr. and Fenix, will also have a match tonight! How can they possibly top what they did before? We also see a singles match between Sexy Star & the girlfriend of Son of Havoc, Ivelisse. In this week's main event, we finally get to see Johnny Mundo attempt to get his revenge on the man that has been attacking him with his goons for weeks, Big Ryck. Will Big Ryck's henchmen get involved, and will Prince Puma ignore the words of his mentor Konnan and have Mundo's back tonight?

"Now, THIS is where the Big Girls play..." On December 18, 1995, WCW continued to ride the wave of momentum they had been creating over the past few months with their flagship show, WCW Monday Nitro. On this episode of Nitro, in the very first segment of the show, we are introduced to the newest member of the WCW roster. Not only the newest member of the roster, but the current WWF Women's Champion?! Alundra Blayze, now known as Madusa, made her debut in a big way. Something that we rarely seen on national pro-wrestling television. Madusa took the WWF Women's Championship to the competition, and threw it in the trash. We also have some big matches on this show, including the first ever 1-on-1 encounter between Ric Flair & Eddie Guerrero. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship is also on the line in our main event, as "Macho Man" Randy Savage defends the big gold against The Giant, who of course has his crazy crew with him of Jimmy Hart & The Taskmaster. Also, Lex Luger takes on Marcus Alexander Bagwell (also known as Buff Bagwell later on), Sting takes on Earl Robert Eaton (Bobby Eaton!), and of course, Hulk Hogan makes an appearance, despite him being on PROBATION!

"THIS IS BULL.." We're on the road to WWF WrestleMania 13, but before we get there, we have to set into the WAR ZONE. That's right, it's WWF Monday Night RAW is WAR, which is a really long name that eventually is just WWF RAW is WAR! There's a lot of big matches coming up on this PPV, and we get a little piece of all of them on this very show. Of course, this is the episode of RAW where Bret Hart, after a main event cage match for the WWF Championship against Sycho Sid, loses his mind. He feels like everyone is against him, and he decides to take out that frustration verbally after pushing Vince McMahon down to the canvas! That main event also includes run-ins from Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Undertaker, who both want their opponent at WrestleMania 13 to leave this show with the WWF Championship, so they can get a shot at it. Also on this show, we get to hear from Shawn Michaels, who just recently returned to the WWF, and we get an updated on his condition. Faarooq & Ahmed Johnson are barred from ringside during a match between the Legion of Doom & the Nation of Domination, which leads to some backstage chaos between the two. Ken Shamrock is here to scout a legend in Aaron Ferguson, and Billy Gunn also happens to be here getting in the way of that. Of course, we have to mention the REAL main event; Mini Vader & Mini Mankind take on Mini Goldust & Mascarita Sagrada. It does not get any better than this.

"IT'S TOMMY'S?!" On this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at this episode of ECW Hardcore TV from January 16, 1996. ECW only continues to get bigger, and the bigger they get, the crazier the show gets. This is a prime example of ECW at it's most "ECW". In one of the more infamous moments in company history, Beulah McGillicutty, Raven's "girlfriend", has a confession on this episode, and it's that she's pregnant. Raven immediately thinks it's Stevie Richards, and attacks him, only for Beulah to finally admit that the baby's father is Tommy Dreamer. Also on this show, we see the return of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, coming off of his run in the WWF as Dean Douglas. He's back, and he has mind set on fixing ECW; and he starts by slapping Buh Buh Ray Dudley in the face. Buh Buh, of course, has a match with Gigolo Jimmy Del Ray! This episode also starts with the most insane 20 minutes of back-to-back moments, including the likes of Bill Alfonso, Taz, 911, Rey Mysterio Jr, The Eliminators, and somehow even more than that! Of course, we can't forget the most prestigious award show going; The DEADIES! That's right, the 7th Annual DEADIES are here, and we have all of the results from your votes for the 2025 season.

THIS...IS A TEMPLE! The boys are back in town for the 2nd time this week, with DOUBLE DEADLOCK, to continue on the first season of LUCHA UNDERGROUND! We're at the third episode now, and business is really starting to pick up for Dario Cueto. We have a big main event, consisting of three luchadors that will become mainstays here in Lucha Underground for years to come. Konnan has told Dario Cueto that he can't say that his Temple has the best luchadores in the world, if he doesn't have these three talents from Mexico; Pentagon Junior, Fenix, and Drago. Dario decides that not only does he want to see the three of them, but he wants the three of them to face off against each-other tonight! Also on this show, we see Mil Muertes step into the ring once again, as his manager, Catrina, continues to promise members of the roster that 1,000 deaths are coming from them. One of those people being Chavo Guerrero, who is now finding out that everyone is out to get him because of what he did to the legendary Blue Demon Jr. We also get the Lucha Underground debut of a lucha legend, and of course, a DEADLOCK legend, in Mascarita Sagrada! All of that, and so much more, on this special episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

After over twenty years of wrestling running on Saturday's on TBS, WCW decided to re-brand their show to "WCW Saturday Night"! On this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at the re-launching of WCW's Saturday Night show, which is now being called, of course, WCW Saturday Night! This "new" show debuted it's new branding on April 4th, 1992. Hosted by Jim Ross & Jesse Ventura (for this week), we get a look at WCW's new idea for this show, which involves more of a talk-show feeling to it, as Jim Ross & Jesse Ventura take us through the show by not only showing us matches, but conducting interviews along the way. On this show, you'll see the WCW Light Heavyweight Champion, Brian Pillman, take on Brad Armstrong. We also get a chance to see the Fabulous Freebirds, Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin, take on the duo of Diamond Dallas Page & Cactus Jack in a match to get them prepared for their Tag Team Title match next week. We'll also find out about the personal & professional life of Ron Simmons, who is looking to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, which is currently held by Sting, and being hunted down by Big Van Vader & his manager, Harley Race. In the main event, "Stunning" Steve Austin, accompanied by Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman) defends the WCW Television Championship against The Z-Man in a 2 out of 3 Falls match.
