Q&A Thread for DEADLOCK Podcast Episode #255

if there was ever a match or moment that brought you back to wrestling. what was it?

Pls watch the wwe ep of southpaw wrestling John cena got a shame fetish

I’m sure this has been asked before , but what’s the reason for the DEADLOCK name?

So Tony since your giant pianus hangs out if you wear boxers so Tony what’s the dexterity of your KAWK?

Have you guys given any thought to how you would adjust and re-use the Hard 10 rules from TNA's first year? I thought it would be an interesting concept to see in DPW, maybe call it "10 The Long Way" and raid a thrift store for weaponry for the match. Hell give the wrestlers 10 bucks to drop each.

Had a great time at both DPW Live shows when you guys came out to Illinois. How did you enjoy your time in Chicago for both trips? Did you get some Jizzy Dizzy Glizzies Chicago style?

is roderick strong your guys favorite wrestler

Fairly new to the pod, and still trying to get caught up/figure out some deadlock lore. Can someone explain the linder McMahon and bubyer ray Dudley among others that a newer member might not understand?

This is a question for Toby, now that your deck is finished what comes next? What project will fall under the might of your deck building power? Also this is my first question, love you boys, y’all make each day better

Have you guys considered only watching 2 of the 3 hours for golden age WCW Nitro? Or even +10 on "filler" stuff just so you can review it for the pod?

Is it hard to shut off booker brain while watching wrestling now or are you constantly scanning for good production ideas and potential future talent?

What are you guys watching on tv at the moment?

Any plans for future merch drops? Perhaps a return of DPW merch? I don’t live anywhere close to North Carolina but I’d still love to rep for the boys.

Hey guys, first time patron but been listening to the show for about a year and a half now. You guys get me through work. This one is mostly for James and Johnny because they like horror movies. What are the best horror movies you guys have seen recently? (if not too much list your top 5 all time)

This one is for James. Which one of these catchphrases of yours is my favorite? - What The Dog Doing? - Why You Say F*ck Me For? - Get Out Of Our Company! - You Want A War? Or... -CUTS THE F*CKINGS CAMERAS!!!

If every wrestling game ever had the online capabilities of today which one would you think you'd run the most?

Has there ever been a patreon name that was so fucked up you couldn't read it on the pod ?

I keep hearing you guys got banned from running the Durham Armory. Is that true and if so what the fuck happened? That place will always be sentimental to me and they’re a bunch of Jabronis if that’s the case

Inspiration from the latest Watch This. Would you guys do a DPW: Fans bring the sandwiches event?

Skeewoah boys, and how's ya lips? Have yous watched much of any SMW? Me and the lads watched some years back, mainly for The Thrill Seekers rocking America and we enjoyed what we saw. What do yous make of SMW?

I was so happy to hear Dead Rising 2 get some love from you guys. Do you have any favorite weapons or characters from the game you’d like to share?

If you guys can draft 5 wrestlers from any era to make dpw the hottest show eva who would you pick and why is hor-ass your first pick

Since y’all were talking about left 4 dead 2 in the podcast last week. Did y’all ever play Back 4 Blood? If so how did y’all like it?

Would you guys ever review more modern episodes of wrestling if you thought it would make for a good podcast? (early episodes of AEW, The debut of RAW Underground, for example)

Have any of you played Hybrid Heaven for the N64? It was one of the few RPGs on the N64, but instead of fighting enemies with a weapon, you attack them with pro wrestling moves until they die. And the aliens you fight also know how to wrestle, so you are likely to get suplexed by an alien at some point. But you can suplex them back, or piledrive them, or powerbomb them! I've seriously never seen a game with a combat system like this one. If you haven't played it, would you be interested in checking it out?

Yo. With WWE regaining some popularity, do you guys ever consider covering current Raw/Smackdown/PLEs from the big Dubba Dubba E? I’m always curious what you guys would have to say about what they’re cooking right now.

All three are separated into different wrestling factions, who goes where??

can u guys do a watch this! on a dpw match please and thank you much love kiss kiss

Not a question but I’m drunk off my ass, mjf vs ospreay has been my dream feud for the last 3 years and the match is happening for free on dynamite? I’m prepped for multiple orgasms Tony Pizza Guy Style

Hey boys, love the pod. You've inspired me to get back in shape and give the business one more crack! That being said (You can totally exclude that part if you want, since it's not part of the question): What are yout top 5 moves across every WWF/E ECW, WCW, TNA, AEW, NJPW, FIRE PRO, and Backyard Wrestling games of all time? Feel free to bank this question should you ever revive the DEADLOCK Draft!

What is your dream Mike Enos match?

Thoughts on Stone Cold Steve Austin entering himself into the Royal Rumble? (I said the Royal Rumble)

What design choices draw you to championship titles?

Where can we watch the bts videos of y’all early days of DPW I remember Johnny use to talk about having footage but i don’t know where to find it

Any chance of the DPW vlogs coming back? Some of the funniest moments for me came from those.

Ham or turkey?

What happened to the DPW road trip stories? I miss hearing about U-Haul centers run by children or trips to the Alamo Drafthouse

Subjectivly, who are the GOATS of wrestling?

What is Toby's addiction with shitty late 2000s wwe matches

What are some weird or off putting smells that you actually find pleasant?

Without looking it up, which year do you guys think you've covered THE MOST of on the podcast? My guess is '99.

I know being the promoters would color your conversations about it, but I would love to hear you guys talk about DPW as a promotion more. Do you plan to do that at some point or do you want others to talk about?

How did you guys all meet each other?

How would you book a dream match like prime Bret Hart v Kurt Angle

Have you guys ever considered watching some of your guys own favorite DPW matches as like a Watch This kind of video for patreon? It would be cool to hear your thoughts on the matches and possibly some BTS of how the match came together backstage.

Who was your favorite Heat/Velocity wrestler? Like a Maven or Jamie Noble after a while

Are there any moves you want to take or moves you would never take no matter the circumstances?

How weird does it feel to booker wrestlers you have been watching for years like Roderick Strong, Trevor Lee, Motor City Machine Guns, Ect.

Thoughts on Oba Femi?

I’ll be there in Pasadena, at DPW 12pm.

Why does Johnny always smell? Even at his best?

Top 3 most important albums in y’all’s lives?

What’s one question you always want someone to ask during this seg but no one does?

Wouldn’t it be cool if at the end of the year you guys post a Cumpilation on your YouTube Channel, at the end of every year you guys would be putting together your best moments of the year in a INSANE Deadlock Cumpilation?

This one is for James. Which one of these catchphrases of yours is my favorite? - What The Dog Doing? - Why You Say F*ck Me For? - Get Out Of Our Company! Or... -CUTS THE F*CKINGS CAMERAS!!!

James, are you planning on resuming your wrestling training once you lose a certain amount weight? Love you boys and thank you for being awesome.

do you think nigel mcguinness is gonna return to the ring at some point? he was set to have a match with danielson at all in last year but plans got cancelled, and in a photo he shared he looked in great shape with new gear too.

I guess this one is for Johnny (Tony was also there now that I think about it) and it’s not really a wrestling question, but I remember when you guys got banned or something from Twitch and had to go stream at a site called Hitbox. What was up with that?
