DEADLOCK Podcast #258 (Video)

TNA Wrestling has had a ton of huge milestones in the entire history of the company but moving to Thursday nights might have been one of the biggest for them. On April 13, 2006 TNA Wrestling moved Impact from Saturday to Thursday in a trial that would eventually lead to primetime. This first episode may be one of the best examples of what TNA really was. It truly is a 60 minute adrenaline rush. They open the show with Christopher Daniels defending his X-Division Championship against Samoa Joe. Joe was unstoppable at this time, never pinned or submitted. The match is already in progress and Christopher Daniels is bleeding everywhere. Because they were not in primetime yet, they could get away with blood right at the start. This match is probably one of the best TV matches in company history and we only get to see half of it. Sting challenged Jeff Jarrett to a match on Impact and this will be his first TV match in 5 years, since WCW closed the doors. Also they are on the Road To TNA Lockdown 2006 and the Lethal Lockdown match!

Shoot 'Em Up is awesome, just a full-on cartoon of action movie (Almost literally; Clive Owen gnaws carrots the entire time in case you didn't catch that he's supposed to be Bugs Bunny with a gun.) Christian is in it for like 5 minutes as one of the major bad guys' main henchman, no dialogue.

Shoutout James, Jawwny, and Toby Keith for trapping and farting on me in Killer Klownz mere hours after crowning me Patreon Champ. I felt like Daniel Bryan in the Monster promo in that moment. Life is now worth living.

Bruce Lee being the only man in cinema history to kill both Chuck Norris and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar onscreen is the best possible answer to "who'd he ever beat"
