DEADLOCK Watch This #191
Sometimes, you find gimmick matches that you just have to watch to find out how in the world they turned this into a match.
On this edition of WATCH THIS, we go back to 2003 for this encounter at IWA Mid South between JC Bailey & Mad Man Pondo. The ring is covered in a barbed wire net, and there is a massive scaffold next to the wrong. What could possibly go wrong?!

Hello from 2026. This definitely was originally released on VHS. A 2 tape set!
The Pinnacle of death match wrestling. Horrible work, crazy stunt. Like jumping into an above ground pool and not wanting to swim
How much you reckon these lads got paid for this? A tenner? Mental. EDIT: Tony just said 100. Still crazy.
Payed in painkillers
Idk if y'all know him but I used to work with this guy named Mitch Page who used to do a lot of iwa midsouth shows back in the 2000s. And another guy who used to work iwa in the 2010s lmao
mean mitch page!!!!
If you ever want to torture Jim Cornette, force him to watch this.
My favorite part of IWA-MS is Ian's fashion sense of Kenny Chesney shirts, surplus of Cal Ripken merchandise and his 4/20 booking
First death match i ever, my 7 year old eyes couldn’t believe this shit
you guys should watch the Two Ring Circus Death: Scotty Vortekz vs Drake Younger match from czw tangled web 4
This was wild - sickening thud at the end.
Watch Dark Starlight Kid vs AZM doesn’t matter which. Haven’t had a stardom watch this in a minute
There must be a winner. Run it back in DP Dub
holy shit
Holy fuck, that's some fucked fuckery
JC BAILEY FOREVER
I just remember Mad Man Pondo for being in Fire Pro Returns part of Big Japan, this dude is insane
Real shit
What a couple of fucked fuckers. That’s INSANE
I loved how guys ringside immediately sprung into action after every bump into that barbed wire
JEEZUS. Shouts out to JC Bailey's absolutely TERRIFIED girlfriend at the end there. Just bawling her eyes out.
I'd seen the superplex gif so many times but i still gasped seeing the spot play out in real time, holy shit. fun fact is me and some friends of mine got to eat dinner with pondo and some deathmatch wrestlers about a year ago after a deathmatch tournament in houston. the meal you may ask? rare game hotdogs.
This was so fucked. Holy shit that suplex was insane, I replayed it like 5 times lmao
Really nice of Quinton Reviews to help Pondo out of the wire
*Smithers voice* BUT HE’S GOT A NEW HAT!
These boys, Crazy Crusher and Hellstorm. I am convinced they put some weird shit in our water cause kids are dumb but they aint built like this today. Me and my buddies were jumping off mobile homes for spots cause i still don't know why. I never got paid.
Them going up to the scaffold not once, not twice, but THRICE? Yeah it's amazing how they managed to get away with that w/o any major harm.
Legit can't tell if this was actually a match or not, two guys do a minute of strikes and slowly work their way through 3 spots and then everything abruptly ends. I will say, I love the lack of irony in Putting a guy with the last name "Bailey" in a Circus Deathmatch.
Was there a point for any of this?
two guys fall down go BOOM
James out here like some sort of hat glasses headphones guy
This match is for the boys
James and Fred Flintstone should have a match like this for custody of Wilma
Dom in gi vs Pondo next DPW Live
The conversation about the show being on DVD or VHS made me curious. The first DVD made in the US was in 03/24/1997 and the final VHS produced was in 2006. Definitely a possibility of this being on both
Nothing brightens my day more than a watch this deathmatch notification
James with hat!?! This is like a chase figure
Pretty sure it's a technical masterpiece Ala Flair Steamboat
