DEADLOCK Podcast #244 (Video)
TNA Wrestling is canceled…or is it?! TNA is in between TV deals, but that does not stop them from producing episodes of Impact! This is the very first episode of TNA Wrestling during the “Real Player” era! You could watch the show online from their website using Real Player or by torrenting the show! Many people thought that this was the end of the company, but they were only getting started! We are hot off the heels of Slammiversary 2005 and Raven is the new NWA World Champion. A challenger emerges at the end of the show in Abyss! Also, Samoa Joe makes his Impact debut against Delirious!

Context for those interested... "First ballot" refers to when someone becomes eligible to be nominated for the Hall of Fame and is inducted in their first year. For example: the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame: A wrestler must be 35 years of age with at least 10 years of in ring experience or have been in a non-active role within the industry for 15 years. Kenny Omega, Bryan Danielson and Kazuchika Okada were all first ballot Hall of Famers. and as a bonus tidbit, Big Daddy has been on the Ballad for more than a decade but has yet to have gotten the necessary number of votes needed to be a hall of famer a 10x ballot if you will.

I listen to the raven promo as if the gimmick continued from the episode of thunder we watched
Wait, if this was an Internet only episode why when I was watching it on the archive, it had Florida commercials
THEY PICKED MY QUESTION! I was fist-pumping at the McDonalds Pick Up stall number 3 crazy style. In case anyone was curious, My name comes from a Journey of Wrestling ECW save I had where Mike Tyson and Tajiri main evented CyberSlam for the ECW Heavyweight Title in 2000. Thanks to the boys for picking the question, telling your stories, and everything you do with the pod and patreon in general. Y'all rule for real
He's doing the Whirlybird!! Mom, dad, get in here!!
OH HELL YEAHH Delirious
MEHHH
Time to do it LIVEEE!
Just for closure to James saying he spit everywhere for one thing, if I’m not mistaken it was when Tony said “Baba Booey Baba Booey Howard Sterns Penis” and James spit water all over his monitor
You are correct sir! Except it was a Monster ultra because of course it was.
Ha, legit didn't know this was streaming-only! I did watch this episode via the Sun Sports rip, and they sure don't mention the internet-only part. It does explain how woefully cheap the show looked, notably that deeply, deeply depressing interview segment in the ring/empty arena.

i remember watching this on 56k dial up internet with it buffering every ten seconds
OH MY GAWD! Thus brings back some memories. I had a hell of a time getting this episode to play on my computer back on the day.
