DEADLOCK Podcast #272 (Video)
All things are well in WCW on the July 31st, 2000 episode of Nitro. Booker T is the fighting babyface WCW World Champion and Vince Russo is in charge… Okay well maybe not everything is good. The main “highlight” from this show was a throw away segment featuring a “Viagra on a Pole” Match. Billy Kidman is huge, while The Franchise Shane Douglas has problems getting it up in the bedroom. That’s literally why the match is happening. They hang Viagra on a pole and whoever gets it, wins. Speaking of gimmick matches, Kevin Nash battles Scott Steiner in a “Straight Jacket” Match. Put your opponent in a straight jacket and you decide when you are tired of beating them up. And as previously mentioned Booker T is the fighting WCW Champion, but Jeff Jarrett hurt his leg badly with a Figure Four. As fighting champion he says he will face Sting for the belt, as he was previously supposed to have the match. Booker T’s wife gets hit with a guitar by Jeff Jarrett and has to go to the hospital. Booker returns and has his match with Sting. However, chaos ensues as Double J hangs Booker by his leg and hits it with a guitar. Also, Sting gets burned alive inside a coffin by Vampiro and The Kiss Demon! Plus, The DEADLOCK $5 Q&A returns!

My favorite part of the Nash/Steiner/Goldberg build to New Blood Rising is Nash literally says "I'm going over" on Thunder so nonchalantly lol
Kiwi is a spoof on Mango, the Chris Kattan character from SNL.
First off, Happy Birfday Jawnny! Second, Terrifier IS getting a video game in 2025, but it's an old school, side-scrolling beat em up. It's called "Terrifier: The ARTcade Game."
Oops! All Hot Starts
Anyone that needs a ticket to Worlds Strongest I have an extra one my wife doesn’t wanna go anymore
Your wife kinda sucks dawg
Why did Dale Torborg attack sting in main event. Does dale not want sting to win the title so that their match at the PPV could be upgraded to a title match ? And if Jarret is going to be out there anyway, shouldn’t he be attacking sting to make sure his match stays a title match??
I turned 30 this year and for everyone under 30 appreciate your time and enjoy the memories in the moment. It goes by so fast! You can always make more money or get a different job. GO MAKE THOSE MEMORIES WITH THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT before the time passes. 🖤
I drive to a parking deck near the train station (New Jersey to NYC commuter!!!) every morning, and this morning right as I pulled up to the parking deck to grab a ticket, windows go down and all you hear is James go, “Bobby Eaton da PUSSY!!!” reading the fucking donations lmfaoooooo
The link works on the Patreon website but not the app, idk if the boys want me to post the link
2000 was WCW’s best year. I mean, can you say they’ve had a better year since the ?
My link isn’t working
Same, Patreon has been acting weird for me too
The Booker T stuff on this show to establish him as the guy is fascinating for 2 reasons. 1) Purely on screen he went from being G.I Bro to the world champ in a month. 5 months after he lost the T. Any upward trajectory he was on upto his injury in summer of 98 and completely stalled out in 99. 2) at this exact time WCW got into a whole bunch of racial discrimination lawsuits and having a black world champion could in theory diffuse/refute those claims. So these 2 things lead to this weird situation where Booker T is finally in the place he should of been but it came out of relative no where. Maybe not for the best reasons. Plus in the months after this he is the worst booked world champion I've seen people just forgot it when compared to other bad reigns like Undisputed Jericho, 06 Rey, the Miz, Jinder etc cause it was 3 short reigns instead of one slightly longer one
Wait is this how I find out that Booker T was never the five time WCW champion?

James, I'm about to be 30 and your speech about turning 30 and can still being able to do what you want still. I've been struggling with being 30 in a few days and your guys back and forth really made me feel better. Thank you so much for sharing your insight.
