DEADLOCK Podcast #277 (Video)

Welcome everyone to WWF SATURDAY NIGHT’S MAIN EVENT on NBC! We are going back to October 5th, 1985! Love is in the air as Uncle Elmer is getting married! Uncle Elmer of the Hillbilly Jim family! Some wrestlers think wrestling and romance don’t mix, but this is the first REAL wedding on TV since Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky! Also, Hulk Hogan is the WWF Champion and Nikolai Volkoff, Feddie Blassie, and the Soviet Union threaten the entire USA! It is up to the Hulkster to save the day and defend the honor of America! It’s Flag vs Flag! Plus, Jesse Ventura’s Body Shop talk show, Bobby Heenan’s $50,000 Bounty, where’s George “The Animal” Steele been, and much more as we throw it back to the '80s!

Reminder: the Treetop Casino episode of Viva La Bam involves them constructing a wrestling ring and having a wrestling match, which qualifies it for WatchThis. It's also 21 minutes.

viva la bam bit was so based

NO PEPPERONI PENNE FOR PULSE, NO TURKEY TETRAZINI FOR TONY, AND NO JABRONI JAMBALAYA FOR JAWNNY BROTHER · December 19, 2024

Veeeeeeeera · December 19, 2024

I had to pause for like five or six minutes when it became clear that Johnny thought “Plowboy” meant “a guy who fucks”

Stop with all the Metaphor: Re-Fantazio slander, or I will put this copy of Astro-Bot up Jawnny’s ass

Holy shit my dad went to this show back in the day. He used to go to all of the MSG and Meadowlands shows in the 80’s, and I remember him telling me about booing through the entire wedding segment

B
BigJ · December 18, 2024

Another benefit of doing more 80's stuff is the boys getting to experience Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura commentary while they were in their prime. Which is why the Flair Rumble ('92) should probably be the SGH for January.

C
Chase Richardson Anderson Appreciator · December 18, 2024

Jawny asking Tony if his kids make a “shoot Christmas list” is pure wrestling brain rot. Love him despite the odorrrr

J
JackRyanForPope · December 18, 2024

I'm glad that was more fun than you'd expect from 80's WWF. Piper/Orndoff seems like the rare No Contest match that does what it's supposed to do; leave you happy and also wanting more! Also, it took 15 years, but someone finally tried to collect on that bounty at Fall Brawl 2000.

J
JP Tuesday · December 18, 2024

Have the boys done the Hogan/Andre rematch episode of Main Event? That might be an interesting one.

B
BigJ · December 18, 2024

That's the one with the double Hebner finish, right?

Tony is a bitch IFYOU SMELL WHAT THECOCK ISCOOKING · December 17, 2024

Jawny! You son of a bitch. I’m driving and when that Beavis impression came out I had to pull over cause I couldn’t breathe

O
OH MY! DIPPERS OF THE HOG UNITE! · December 17, 2024

genuinely popped hard hearing my name in the Patreon shout out for the first time! I would Highly suggest the next SNME Halloween episode from Hershey, Pa after this episode if anyone wants to see the wedding feud and the follow match with hogan and Andre. All I'll say to spoil anything is Iron Shiek dressed as batman

ConsulttheBones · December 17, 2024

I have vague memories of Joel Gertner speaking to Kamala in clicks and whistles which I assumed was a really racist tumor developing in my brain but I guess that shit was real

V
Veeeeeeeera · December 17, 2024

For the record Kamala II was indeed a gimmick Stan Frazier did in Memphis occasionally, teaming with the original Kamala. He’s not even the only Kamala II, Kamala gave his blessing to Ben Peacock aka Botswana Beast aka Kimala II aka Uganda to be Giant Kimala in All Japan, remember him from VPW2?

Mr. Blud claims he likes gifts and yet he intentionally ignores good ole Dan's gifts. What is this dudes problem.

TeddyTooLongToHandle · December 17, 2024

This is my favourite pod episode i think. i wasnt expecting the kamala flow chart. it changed my life

hey shitbirds, this podcast is pretty muffed up yo

Chaz Moshson · December 17, 2024

I have a similar story about Goldust to the one mentioned in the Q&A segment. My dad didn't like wrestling and never understood why I was watching it. One time we were flipping through channels on TV, and RAW was on, and my dad decided to stay on this channel in order to understand why I am so into wrestling. And of course when he decided to do that, it wasn't some cool match or promo, it was a Ted DiBiase, Johnny Knoxville & Goldust segment from 2010 RAW, and it was awful. This was the last time my dad watched wrestling, but he still remembers the big gold one. He literally knows 4 wrestlers: Rock, Hogan, Batista, and Goldust. So yeah, everybody knows Goldust.

Bruiser Brodie taking convention bookings in 2024 is WILD

C

Brutus beefcake's gimmick here is that he's a male stripper.

V
Veeeeeeeera · December 19, 2024

Thankfully he wasn’t a female stripper that would’ve been harder to pull off

P
PT · December 17, 2024

I believe George Steele was the teacher/wrestler from that era of the WWF, to make a minor correction there. Regardless, apparently he was absolutely a truly nice guy to everyone, like what was said.

Have the boys reviewed Joe vs kobashi in roh on here i just joined the patreon

John Nickell · December 17, 2024

Sup bro, it’s on the watch this section. They have done it :)

N
Nate Patrin · December 17, 2024

I hope the boys do more '80s WWF if only because Jawnny's Andre voice is fucking astounding and he should be given every possible excuse to break it out

Me Watching Cum Drip Down My Wife's Lip, Her Wondering What The Fuck Was In That Sandwich · December 17, 2024

God damn Macho Man is sleepin', got The Honky Tonk Man playing a show next door, Rake Yohn shit his pants after seeing a Hulk Hogan T Shirt because it's yellow like mustard, Tony fucked Novak in his mouth while James and Johnny screamed YEAHHH

LOCK 'EM UPPPP!!! ... and have SEX with 'em too. · December 16, 2024

the kamala flow chart was so fucking insane in ways that i can't quantify

T
Two-Tone MoonStone · December 16, 2024

The visual of Hogan getting stomped out in the back while Ventura smokes a lung dart is what keeps me coming back to this show

B
BigJ · December 16, 2024

You boys underestimate the dickrider status of Brutus Beefcake. This dude was Hogan's ball-licker for his entire career. His literal first gimmick was being Hogan's brother in the AWA.

V
Viggy Pop · December 16, 2024

I always wondered why bam talked like that on viva la bam

C
ComingDownTheAisle, Mr.BigSandwich, EntreeTheGiant · December 16, 2024

Great episode! Fun to watch for the pod too. Hope you guys do more 80s stuff in the future. Maybe even an old wcw Clash episode

Jawwny sell me a signed copy of MacGruber. It’ll be the perfect Christmas gift 😂

BigJ · December 16, 2024

The wrestling may not appeal to the boys, but this era has the highest concentration of coked-out, fucked-fucker carnies. It's worth it just to marvel at these crazy bastards.

Jim Carrys Grinch not getting a shout out is a sin to humanity

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo · December 16, 2024

DUDE! I was just listening to the pod episode where you mentioned the Dudesons! It was the TNA Thursday debut one, during the observer notes, episode 258 (yes I had to look up the number.) All you did was mention that they were TNA's lead-in, that was it.
