Is there a space in the wrestling world for something like ECW was ? I feel like there is a lot of guys 30-40 who would love and now be able to pay for a more mature wrestling experience.

Honestly I don’t have any questions. I just want to thank y’all so much for helping me through such a difficult time in my life. The podcast has kept my mind busy and helped just get through each day. Thank you.

This was brought up during a newlegacy stream once but out of curiosity, if the ring Announcer for DPW decided to announce that A schedule singles match was now 2 out of 3 falls, Hardcore or anything other than what was announced, how would you boys respond on the spot?

If Deadlock had the chance to work with a now defunct Wrestling or MMA promotion, who would that be and why? A DPW and pride crossover would go crazy.

Have you guys ever came to Nebraska? Or worked with other promotions from the midwest?

I’ll try and make this brief, but I remember a ways back you guys said if there was interest you’d do a $15 tier where you would do an additional monthly UFC SGH.. it seemed like there was a pretty good amount of interest but, there has been no further talks as far as I’m aware. Is there any sort of update?

I have a lady friend who loves 3 hours WWE shows and has been watching since 2020, what finisher should I hit her with?

I know you guys have talked about a blind spot pre-New Generation, but as followers of the indies, there was a period in the late aught's (~2008/2009) when William Regal was namedropping in interviews Les Kellet as a big influence for his comedic and vicious sides of his character, as well as Catweazle, Rollerball Rocco, etc. Colt Cabana and Nigel McGuinness were taking pages out of Jim Breaks and Johnny Saint's playbook, and CHIKARA was even shelling out for a Johnny Saint coming out of retirement match to show everyone how it's done.

You guys ever watch Lost? Kinda random but I’ve started watching again so would like to hear what you guys think. Follow up question: if you three were trapped on a desert island how long do you think you would survive?

Just curious what the boys think of former DPW champ Jay Malachi's current position as part of the NXT Roster? I just think the fact that hes 20 years old and had a televised match with Randy Orton is amazing, and also speaks to the Quality of talent that works or has worked for DPW, but I'm interested to hear y'alls thoughts.

Lemme ask you something dude, I love going to North Carolina brother, specifically around the outer banks and hanging out with all the Corolla and Duckites out there.

Was there a review you did that made you go “Oh we can definitely do this shit…we should do this shit”

Would you allow Hulk Hogan to appear on Dpw wrestling if he agreed to put someone over

Why didn’t Viscera and Ron Conway get a “can they coexist” tag team championship run after their successful house show loop run in Tulsa?

How are your front bumps James?!

What was the most cringe moment in the PG Era?

Favorite "wrestler appears in a not wrestling associated thing?" For me it's either Inoki slapping the dude dressed as Spiderman so hard he shoot knocks him out or whenever Chono would show up on that gag show where you get hit for laughing and they'd play his theme and he would knock the FUCK out of the same contestant every time for years

Which franchise did you boys grow up with more, Mario or Sonic?

What’s the best way for a wrestler to find their way into a DPW ring?

If you could bring in one legend for a match in DPW, who would it be and who would you put them up with?

A thank you - OG hogdipper here. Grew up in the attitude era , got out of wrestling In 2006. Watched all of you on YouTube so naturally followed the pod and joined here. Never seen or knew anything about CZW but JEEZUS its awesome. So thanks for always keeping us entertained & expanding my enjoyment of wrestling

Just letting the boys know that the Treetop Casino episode of Viva La Bam involves them constructing a wrestling ring and having a wrestling match, which qualifies it for WatchThis.

Do u boys find it funny that the 1st thing wwe decided to do on Netflix was say this shit is FAKKKE an Fuck Kayfabe also real American beer

What promotions do you guys watch the most on your own??

You guys have recently had some great UK wrestlers on DPW (Leon Slater, Lykos Gym, Dani Luna etc.). Do you guys have any other wrestlers from the UK Indy scene that you would like to get over for a show? My picks would be The Big Strong Man, Ravie Davie, and Manlon who are all on the Scottish circuit.

Have you guys played Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind yet?

Would you ever consider going back and revisiting retro reviews you did when you first started reviewing them and giving them a more detailed review. For example the Rockajabroni and Kurt wants to fuck bookers wife episodes

When you fold laundry, specifically socks, do you boys do the foldy woldy 🥺 (two socks folded over) or the SOCK COCK😤😤😤💪💪(two socks meeting at the ankle cuff, then rolled down into a dildonic like structure)

Well boys it's officially 2025 and we're 20 years removed from the best year and absolute peak of where indie wrestling has ever been. What's it like running your own indie in this landscape and will dpw unlock a new all timer, golden generation of AJ and Necro-esque, fucked fuckers?

You’re about to get the chair, what would be your last meal?

How would the wrestling world have changed if Viscera had unlocked the Visagra tech during his Summerslam WWF Championship match against Diesel?

Tony are you sure these finishes are right?? It says you want low-ki to win on the scramble cage plank with the:”Roll…up?”

This is less of a question and more so a "I need you to know that you all have permanently altered my vocabulary and I hate you for it". Saying "crazy style" or some variation of the sort has become nearly every interaction and it's all your fault. Anyways... WCW dream blunt rotation?

Now Netflix has WWE programming does this effect the DPW pod in anyway ? As Netflix only have a very limited amount of episodes of RAW and Smackdown

James can you at the boys finally watch the digimon movie

When are you gonna watch the Dudesons

How do you guys handle adversity and anxiety from running the company?

how were the boys’ holidays?

Is there ever any of the revolving jokes that ya'll personally feel are old or you're tired of hearing? (Like DICK THE COCK.. or Corn the Long way)

Alright Johnny, I gave you your 10$ for the month. Now when are you gonna put that mealy mouth of yours on my hard to reach areas?

We have seen WCW use Robocop. We have seen WWE use the Muppets. If DPW could work with any Liscensed property what would you choose?

How is it with wrestlers who do like a “one-shot”? For example roderick strong or kenta, how different is it having them there compared to the DPW regulars

If you were forced to change every light bulb in your house to an odd color, what color would you pick?

This is not a question. You guys don't have to read this on the podcast but this is the only place I could think of to write this. I hope he is able to see this. I wanted to say thank you to Johnny reason being. On December 5th My dog passed away. His name was Cooper and he was the best dog a man could ask for. I spent that whole night watching the police simulator game video Johnny did. It made laugh damn near the whole video. It made everything not hurt so much even if it was just for a little while. You don't know me but you helped me. Thank you.

Does James know that he is absolutely based big style for drafting House of 1,000 Corpses and does Jawnny know he absolutely fumbled the whole draft by picking Terrifier 1 instead of Terrifier 3 and does Tobey know that he was absolutely screwed over by not being allowed to draft Scary Movie? Very important questions here boys

Thoughts on WWE ID? I know you guys have made jokes about it in passing but since it has been announced has it effected any DPW booking decisions? Or will it effect them going forward?

Hey boys don’t know if this question has already been asked but if you could go back in time with the knowledge you have now would there be anything different that you would have done when starting DPW. Love you guys keep up the great work!
