DEADLOCK Podcast #247 (Video)
In the year 2000 you had WWF, WCW, ECW and WXO Wrestling! Ted DiBiase was the CEO and CFO who wanted to bring back family friendly wrestling! He lets us know there will be no guaranteed contracts, only opportunities in this new era of professional wrestling. No more “prima donnas”, does this sound familiar. The show featured many WCW Saturday Night wrestlers and the unforgettable Scott Nash! It’s crazy that a promotion would start at this time during the Monday Night War but as we find out, WXO Wrestling didn’t last long at all.

Just walking over our Bottom Boy Jay Hunter!
yo just a heads up, the devin nash vs. macho man match segment is pretty homophobic. i’d say watch the GAB 99 main instead
Digimon the Movie the type of classic you watch before school each morning and then take the VHS with you for some reason, got the Goddamn Angela Anaconda bit and the Kids in America music video it went crazy
I literally had one of those Compaq computers as a kid my father spent 800 on it and it was the dumbest thing but we had it for over 10 years tried to watch porn on it as a kid and it was impossible.
Listening to pulse explain Digimon makes me want to watch it again
absolute tony masterclass on this one
Also “Who Done It? Who WAS it??” Is literally an all-time line
This show is literally “WWE Universe Mode in real life”
According to a turnbuckle on eBay I just found WXO stands for Wrestling Extreme Overload

So out of curiosity, for how obscure this promotion is, I did some additional research and found almost next to nothing of note but A few tidbits of information after searching various websites… The Commentators weren't allowed to swear and got frustrated when trying not to at times. The women weren't allowed to show "too much skin" The Two buff dudes at the end of the Episode were non-other then XWF legends "The Shane Twins" aka The Johnsons The WXO was funded by Howard Lipkint who made his fortune in Film and Television production and grew his company as an early producer for Music videos for MTV. The WXO wasn't Howard's only venture into pro wrestling, in 2018 he made a deal WGN to produce a Television program for the Independent Wrestling promotion " Ring Warriors" which lasted 13 episodes. I tried to find out more about Scott Nash and the only thing I found was another Reddit Article with the "That's my friend" guy stating he and Scott Nash worked at Best Buy together. Also, as luck would have it, a fairly new YouTube channel did a video about Scott Nash " Pro Wrestling's fake Kevin Nash?" Uploaded by a user named "NachoMane" that gives additional insight as well as footage of his work on the indies.
Boys I'm gonna be real honest with you, I straight up did not have a good time watching this show
Pod or show the pod was on?
They mentioned Chad Fortune I think was gonna be here, he was the other member of Tekno Team 2000, nowhere to be seen smh
Decided to watch the pod at work today & yall cooked Louisville????
Dan Severn blown McMahon style would be lit
Were the two guys at the end the Shane twins?!?!
Episode 2 of WXO might be even more unhinged.
can u evene find it?
The limo blowing up bit is straight out of a EWR segment
WereGarurumon *kiss kiss*
It’s a different Manny Fernandez than the Raging Bull from the 80s
Amusingly that Manny Fernandez is also a fake Manny Fernandez because he has persistently lied about playing for the Miami Dolphins in the 70s when that was a different Manny Fernandez too
The limo exploding is right up there with Tony saying I love you miss Elizabeth for me 😂I was crying laughing so hard. Love you boys
Oh my fucking god, I just looked it up, and those big dudes in the white shirts were THE JOHNSONS
rip tony’s grandma
God damn this was an all timer
Right as I started typing, Tony said what I was going to. XWF, WXO, AWF, etc, wanted to be a television product rather than a proper wrestling company.
Somehow, Chase RichaRDson returned
it's sad when the commercials are the best part of the show.
this retro review is a certified all-timer.
Chase Richardson, lets fucking go!
WXO Zandig says: "JESUS is your savior, let us pray" then he brings out the fucking Messiah, how did this company fail!
Evil Jerry Lawler be like “I respect women and am not attracted to high schoolers, I apologize if I am making any of my coworkers uncomfortable”
I'm not gonna lie, the car exploding bit made me think I was gonna die from laughing
That DTCJ Whose Line Style popped me crazy
Like 1600 new patrons, not including the other ones who didn't get named
Petition to change everyone's names in future Patreon shouts out to Scott Nash and Scott Nash ONLY
'Extreme Jihad' would be a cool name of the next DPW show
WXO was a steaming pile of monkey crap
The ONLY reason I have any idea what the WXO is, is because Wrestling with Wregret did an episode on it, which I just rewatched to refresh my memory. With that said, you GOTTA do the other 2 episodes! Episode 2 has promos from AL Green and Johnny Ace! EPISODE 3 HAS BILLY FIVES!
Reviewing ep 3 is a great idea in theory💀💀
I can't believe yall didn't recognize those two big fans in white t-shirts. It's none other than the XWF legends... THE SHANE TWINS
John Blud finally referenced all the Dracula Flow Names! LETS GO!!! Also my name into Chase Richardson was an INCREDIBLE combo
I think the X in WXO stood for Christian. It was probably going to be The 700 Club as a wrestling promotion.
james saying 2005 might be the best year in wrestling after reviewing so many awful, dog shit episodes of raw & smackdown from that year is crazy lmfao
DEATH TO SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT!!!!! 2005 was the year of the real
Yooo wtf the dicks come in and the show just end like wtf
Piedmon is my favourite digimon if anyone is interested 😂
Beast Digimon, him & Puppetmon were real sickos
who the fuck is scott nash and all the commercial wtf is this show hahahah i love it
Signed up 3 weeks ago still ain’t read my name smh
I think they're super behind because I signed up a few weeks ago. they didnt read mine til today so give them time.
IF YOU DON’T GOT IT GET IT, IF YOU DON’T GET IT… figure it out
PRICELINE MUTHA FUCKA!!!
