DEADLOCK Watch This #212
It's 2005, and two of the best wrestlers in the whole world just happen to be in TNA, at the same time, wrestling for the same title!
We're at TNA Turning Point 2005 on this edition of Watch This, where AJ Styles defends the X-Division Championship against Samoa Joe. Both are at the top of their game, which makes for some incredible wrestling.

I love going back to watch this one
BTW This might be the best TNA match of all time
This Shit MEANS something to me damn it!!!!!
thank you boys for this. TNA AJ is still probably the coolest wrestler in the world to me. i put a crazy amount of hours in DoR2 with a CAW of him. and Joe at this point is just raw af. he killed Christopher Daniels and is carrying a bloody biohazard ass towel to let you know he's that guy. just magic shit.
Match is so fucking awesome I forgot this was a Watch This like shut the fuck up boys THE MENS IS WRESTLING
That match is sick! If I were a wrestler I'd totally steal that tiger bomb for my finish.
That was fucking nuts
Y'all should watch the new WWE Vault stuff, the Walter vs ZSJ and Mortis matches are sweet
Imma be real with y'all, I don't think wrestling has really ever like, truly clicked for me until I watched AJ go over those ropes like that.
Sabin vs Joe from No Surrender earlier this year is crazy too
I was watching this on the stationary bike at the gym and had to stop myself from hooting *and* hollering multiple times
Gotta watch Jeff Hart vs Joey Janela from $5 wrestling, the jeff hart promo package alone is insane
Skee Woah
Love these, as someone who was out of wrestling during this time I love being able to see these awesome matches while dying laughing at the dudleys staring down from the roof
I have no idea where to recommend a Watch This but I have to suggest the MaxiVision Challenge infomercial. The Hulkster and friends shilling a bootleg NES cart with 30 terrible games on it that only shipped with 15 and he did it behind Vince's back.
There was a three year period (05-07) where me and my bro ordered every PPV. I miss those times.
Security brand security
Joe was out here puttin' bangers out constantly and TNA legit told my guy "Put this dick on your face".
This shit means something to me, man!
these 2 heard "creativity isn't the goal of wresting" and said fuck that watch this
I remember when TNA gave this away for free in the early days of On-Demand content on digital cable packages(The precursor to streaming). I taped it on a VHS, and watched it countless times. Back then this match was the easiest way to watch the equivalent to high quality Japanese matches from an American promotion without ordering stuff through the mail, or getting viruses from downloading matches off Lords of Pain, DVDVR, and NoDQ.
Epic match. when I think TNA Joe and Styles are the first 2 that pop in my head
TNA saw this match and didn't wanna pay either of these guys
The fact that AJ forgot how to do the Fosbury flop speaks to how insane his in ring talent was at the time. Man has forgotten better moves than some wrestlers ever even touched in their whole career
I didn’t get a chance to watch hogan v giant last week. So I’m marathoning that and this piece of high art together. A pallet cleanser of sorts.
hell yes
FUCK, literally any AJ vs Joe. I'm so down.
This is the shit that changes your life. Sends you down the hole scrounging for RoH and NJPW just get a little bit of that fix again to feel alive
This shit MEANS SOMETHING to me man!
That might be the best match I've ever seen are you fucking kidding me?! HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS?! That lariat, the tiger driver, holy fucking shit. James looked like he was having a religious experience, and I was right there with ya brother.
I think Scott Hall might know the X Code boys! "You want a war?" Excellent match btw, first time I ever saw it, how the fuck did this not get 5* this was just as good as the triple threat
"This shit sucks" - Bryan Alvarez
Joe and AJ do so many little things in wrestling that nobody else does that make them so great. Like instead of just no-sell all the shots from Joe when he was lighting him up, AJ evaded him and used his speed to make the comeback.
This kicked so much ass
We gotta go through all the GOAT matches. Flair vs Steamboat at the Chi Town Rumble is a must. Atleast just to watch Steamboat's chops
TNA WINS AGAIN
They were doing this shit different man, I’ve never seen dudes loving the game like this
This shit ruled then and it rules now.
The boys popping off for a sick lariat will never get old
TNA! TNA! TNA!
Friggin sweet!
it's been years since I've watched this match, fuck it's good
Dudes: Hell yeah!
are their faces like AI HD upscaled in the thumbnail lol I had to do a triple take at that
