DEADLOCK Sumn Gonna Happen #56
BANG YOUR HEAD!! It's time for the boys to take a look back at the 2008 classic!
THE WRESTLER! Featuring Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler takes a look at the life of a pro-wrestler that has been nearly passed by, by the industry. He can't take himself away from the ring, and continues to try to make towns and make ends meet while juggling his personal life.

I rewatched this gem of a SGH, when Ram smacks his ass before injecting and James says, Hell Yeah..😏 lmaooooo good stuff boys, tied between No Holds Barred and this as best SGH.
The tonal whiplash of being really caught up in the drama of the story and then cracking up at something James said is insane
JSUK Foley is all the sounds in a movie. Stuff like footsteps the sounds of doors opening and closing. Everything that isn’t the dialogue.
Little itty bitty comments everywhere
to answer james question at the end of the credits yes Axl Rose let them use the song for free due to the budget
One thing that I kinda noticed they don’t notice, but felt like it was screaming at me the whole time: the real versions of this story (JYD, Jake, Scott Hall, Iron Sheik) are even sadder because of the addiction angle. Like the conflict of the movie is “I’m a wrestler and I’m addicted to the life” instead of “I’m a wrestler and I’m addicted to speedballs”
Not to get too deep into analyzing the movie, but when James talked about Rourke and Tomei potential relationship at the hour 19 minute it he's missing the point about the parallel the 2 have - they're both performers, but one's life is performing and the other performs to live a life. Rourke's performances ruin his life, and Tomei's performances help her live a better life.
gigging off the low blow is crazy work
Decided for fun to keep track of how many times they mention Nigel on my rewatch: 22 times! (I might've missed a few, also they mentioned him as Desmond 4 times I believe)
I've never seen this movie and after seeing it, it was cool I would've preferred a different lead.
Someone put this guy in the cock crusher
glad i'm not the only one talkin 2005 ROH at the club
This is arguably Deadlock's best SGH work to date.
I believe Axl Rose and Mickey Rourke are friends or at least were when this movie was made, which is why they were allowed to use the G'n'R songs.
i saw the movie with my dad and the only guy he recognized was bobby dempsey bc he worked the snack table at roh shows lol
There’s a bit in wrestling road diaries (might be the second one idk) where to kill time while the camera crew sets up at the ROH show, Danielson gets in front of the crowd and begs Jigsaw to start wearing his damn mask again, ugly bastard cover that shit up
best part is definitely that WWF christian is actually in the credits
I wonder what Jawnny meant when he said he doesn’t think you can run Rahway Rec Center anymore. I just saw WrestlePro book Jinder Mahal there like 2 months ago. As a matter of fact, they’re running the same night as YAK lmao
They were closed for a long time
Didn’t know much about this movie at all growing up, despite being into wrestling my whole life (I was 11 when it came out). Turns out, I grew up around all the little landmarks in this movie. I literally live like 3 mins away from Rahway. Shit, my little sister is a nurse at the hospital Randy got discharged from. This is really fucking cool, there’s never been a movie of any sort filmed out here, to my knowledge.
There's no actual reason that I've put off watching this movie, but I'm still going to claim it's because I was waiting to watch along with The Boys.
I am in tears at jawnnys laugh at 1:06:11
We're one step closer to watching Nacho Libre for sgh
The corn in the eye spot lives rent free in many kids heads.
Can't believe Randy The Ram was having a whole ass conversation with Romeo Roselli from WWFs The Heart Throbs and Johnny & Tony didn't even notice.
Two cool things about this movie. One the ACME they shot at is located not far from my house. Even one time during lunch break in school I went to a wendy's near by when they were filming. It was cool to see the set up. Two, I've been to the strip club Marisa Tomei's character works at.
Hell yeah! I notice a lot of things about this movie too. I don’t recognize the strip club though lmao
First ten minutes and I cannot fucking believe Tony tricked us into watching ANOTHER HANDICAP MATCH.
Fun Fact: the deli scenes were actually shot with real customers. Mickey would just do skits behind an actual deli at a market and get reactions from legit customers.
I love you boys and this was so fucking funny but I really wish I watched this for the first time by myself beforehand. My fault 100% no reason I SHOULDN'T have seen this by now. I'm absolutely gonna be doing that some point soon.
ok so this was actually my first time watching this movie. definitely not the ideal way to go about it but wow that was great there were these three assholes on the side though who kept taking me out of it someone please kick their asses out of the theater
" sorry i'm new here" genuinely never fails
I cannot believe they didn't notice the indie company at the beginning was called BWO
Skee and woah
laughed all the way through and still found myself crying at the ending, good shit boy's.
real.
have not laughed so hard in a long ass time
Cobain pussy
"Ma'am, please don't talk to me like that"...
I didn't know if the boys could make this funny but god damn they did it also shoutout to the goat bruce "the cock" springsteen
this patreon is genuinely the best thing i have ever spent money on
Despite the depressing nature of the movie, you guys still made it so fucking funny to watch lmao I can't wait to see the next dozen SGHs next year :D
god damn this movie is good, even after all these years it hits
Red strip bologna sandwich may be the worst thing I heard this month.
I like that y'all sat through the credits
Boring ahh movie. The only movie I like is Terminator 2, I'm a spot monkey.
Watch Godzilla Final Wars, it has Sum 41, Don Frye, and Matrix fights
If Marissa Tomei whispered "Hawk Tuah Rugpull" in my ear, I'd evaporate like the Thanos snap
I need 6 red strips jawnny
Movie SGH's always produce some of the biggest laughs. Also here's a letterboxd list I made of all the movie SGH's in case anyone is interested:) https://boxd.it/sLZgw
Accurate portrayal of working in a supermarket deli right here
13:23 - Talking about thanksgiving dinner brudah
So did he hit the ram jam or not?
Can they understand the baby or what?
“Oh I don’t work here” is an all-time one liner I would say to customers when I worked at a Dick’s Sporting Goods. Feel free to use at any of your non-uniform required employments!
Also shout out Smart Necro in the glasses
Time to get fuckin' depressed LFG 🔥🔥🔥
I almost died laughing when James asked if he was watching Peta Jensen.
Imagine if they made a Wrestler 2 and the first scene is a continuation of the last of him doing his top rope move like normal and the chest pain he was having in the match was just GERD the entire time and for some reason, he looks 15 years older.
Marisa Tomei Deadlock GOAT now.
Been waiting for this. Ram Jam time bitches
mickey rourke? whats next, mickey mouse?
"Hawk tuah rug pull in a relaxed rules match would go crazy" LMFAO
watching the story of Jerry Lynn, sweet!
Did Necro always wrestle barefoot or was that just for this?
*out of tune Saliva voice* ALWAYS!
can’t believe my first time watching this is gonna be with the boys 🩷
git ya own fuckin cheese lady
been waiting all week for this one
TIME TO CRY WITH MY BROS SKIWOOOOOAAAHHHH
MY REQUESTS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!! SKIIIIIWHOOOOOAAAA
Shout out Marisa Tomei titties with the boys
When the boys said this was Aunt May it fucking blew my mind crazy that I noticed just now
great choice to keep up the holiday cheer
Yes sir now we got a banger man
oh we watching oscar nominated movies now
Oh Myyyyyy!!! Can it be?!?! The Wrestler is here!!!!!
Oh, man. Let’s go, and good luck to all.
Jesus this is not a movie I expected you guys to ever watch
If Randy the Ram had that Mania classic with Jericho as he should have there would be no Learning Tree to speak of
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD
