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.

Watch This!

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.

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.

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.

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

Kirby Mack was literally in Special K, how the fuck does he only have one ROH match · October 19, 2024

TNA saw this match and didn't wanna pay either of these guys

Two-Tone MoonStone · October 19, 2024

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.

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

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.

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
