DEADLOCK Sumn Gonna Happen #57
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!
Welcome to the latest edition of Sumn Gonna Happen! If you're new, welcome. This is our monthly full-length watch-a-long, and this month, it's ROYAL RUMBLE month. One of the more requested shows for us to do is the one we ended up picking, the 1992 Royal Rumble! An absurd show with tag matches, title matches, and a Royal Rumble match for the WWF Championship!

that was not a cover of YYZ by Rush, it was actually a song off Rush's 1991 album "Roll the Bones." The song is called "Where's My Thing" I'm pretty sure. Had to be that guy LOL
I got one entrant correct, Hacksaw. 😆
The amount of star power in that rumble is pretty extraordinary
The boys immediately ceasing their jokes and listening when Piper came on screen to cut a promo was real as fuck
Face Hogan cheating to eliminate heel Sid…
Cant believe they showed the Long lost member of the legion of doom tuah
A comment there
I think the boys should really watch Wrestlemania 8 at some point its a good show with a lot of moments
Btw, Sid Vs Hogan did end up main eventing that year's Mania, and ended in dq giving Hogan the win. Also, although Dave's ratings don't matter to most, he gave this match a star rating of NEGATIVE two, which is fucking insane. Hogan main eventing was due to it originally being planned for him to face Flair at Mania.
Boys I believe the style of Berzerker's gear is called "shirt-cocking"
I forgot how much that undercard stunk. LoD vs Natural Disasters was the only good match outside the Rumble. Really fun watch with the boys!
St. Valentines Day Massacre when
As mentioned, before the end of the month!
Me and all the little deadlockites are taking over this Patreon DUDE
woww owen and neidhart fucking ruled, that ending sequence got me fired up
Seeing Blud go from deathmatch head to Old School Wrestling enjoyer has been a trip.
Haven't gotten to the rumble yet but already have a headache from laughing
This was absolutely joyous guys, thanks for this
whoever decided a 15 minute beverly brothers vs. bushwhackers match was a good idea is going straight to super hell brother for this and this alone and definitely nothing else
PUT THAT CIGARETTE OUT!!
Look I don't care if you think you're The Anvil, the closed caption says The Advil so maybe take one and deal with it, JIM.
You know, the bear hug gets more believable the more the person doing it looks like a bear.
Eifel Tower in the opener is crazy work
That piper entrance was SICK
am i tripping or is piper rocking the J's in that clip of him and mountie at the house show?
In January 1992, Marty Jannetty was arrested in Tampa, Florida on drug charges. Also, Brian Knobbs was thankfully absent after getting stabbed a few weeks prior
I'm not convinced that the Bushwackers aren't Tony's uncles.
Chat where is Christopher Lamar Aloucious Denker?
Gone hopefully
Piper Vs. Mountie is pretty topical to what’s going on now. US metaphorically choking the life out of it, and tasing Canada into submission.
CAPITAL DISTRICT NEW YORK WAKE UP WE IN THE PEPSI ARENA/TIMES UNION CENTER/MVP ARENA TONIGHT
Rumble In my tummy all the stars I ate fighting to see who gets processed first
Tony rockin that NORTE cap oh shit
No way Earthquake was 28 years old here wtf
Holy fuck, you're right. I had to double-check because I thought you were just doing the bit.
It's only been a couple weeks but it's good to have Tony back with the boys. We love Tony big style. Anyway, put that cigarette out
DPW really oughta come to Albany NY. Or maybe not dude
One thing that’s missing from the Rumbles these days is the short promos explaining why you’re going to win, from people at every position on the card
Hawks baby chair shots then animals chair shot made me laugh.
The way they all locked in for Jake Roberts' promo shows you how good of a talker he is.
that flair freezeframe at the beginning is egregious
I was under the impression that Hogan/Flair drew poorly at house shows, so that's why a feud between them in the WWF never really happened. And also Hogan looking like the biggest asshole (even considering his later adventures) over that finish. As a PPV, it flowed pretty well and outside that truly awful Bushwackers match, it was extremely watchable. One of the best Rumbles ever.
Bushwackers yeeting everywhere!
They shoulda let Big Boss Man cook for a while in there and also have given Piper the belt maybe ten million times
the boys genuinely popping for hacksaw is so sick
BOSS MAN DOING TEKKEN SHIT?
Seeing the old school style winning y’all over in the opener was awesome
I’m so used to seein Roddy in like later WCW, 2000’s WWE. Always forget dude was legit shredded and handsome af 😂
Roddy had like five different bodies it felt like throughout his whole career, which would just come up at random.
27 maybe 28 eye pokes
I know a lot of great talkers get the "he can say anything and it'd be awesome" line. But I feel like Roddy is the only one that legitimately applies to.
I'm so pissed the boys didn't realize that one of the Beverly Brothers was fucking Mike Enos
I kept waiting for it to hit them
I've never heard them so quiet until Roddy spoke. wow
The rumor that Vince hated Flair's ending promo is so insane.
The fuckin camerawork from this era of WWF is so fuckin sick
92 is a banger year for PPVs thinking about it. WrestleWar, SuperBrawl II, this show, Mania VIII, SummerSlam in Wembley, Beach Blast, and StarrCade are all bangers
Pat Tanaka used Goldberg's theme before Goldberg in WCW
Nothing compares to a 90s WWF roadie run camera shot.
"What's your problem, buddy?"
Not sure if anyone pointed this out already or not I'm too lazy to check, but the Orient Express's entrance music is what they used for Takeshi Morishima's tryout matches 💀
They recycled it for Aja Kong too!
Can we talk about Roddy Piper looking one chicken, two asparagus levels of crazy in 1992
This is Owen's first ppv match after his Blue Blazer run ended and he did a few years in Stampede Wrestling. The New Foundation was a thrown together team to give Owen a push, which is why Anvil is out of shape. So Owen's extended ring time was definitely the Fed testing him out. "Hey, you're the opener and you're going to be in the ring a long time. You better have shit to do and you're going to be selling a lot, so don't lose the crowd."
"Put that cigarette out!"
Another year of waiting for 2008 Rumble. I’ll wait forever if I have to.
Owen and Anvil are just Homicide and Hernandez. Also, the dude wit da glasses and Bushwhackers sounds like Meowth.
Put that cigarette out or I'll tag you for real
I love that the boys have a lot of fun when they fuck around with this era.
The Orient Express coming out to Takeshi Morishima's WWE theme
That entrance zoom camera during Piper’s arrival you guys raved about is a steady camera/gimble. I don’t think it’s unaffordable for you guys($5000 for one on Amazon), you just need one(WWF probably only had one at ringside), but I think you need a really strong man to be able to carry that thing. I think the shot during the super kick spot in the Hart match might have been that too. Maybe carried it a bit higher when they were in the corner? You guys should invest in platforms to be able to get an apron camera shot like WCW had.
Fun fact about the finish of the rumble. When Sid eliminated Hulk the crowd popped and then started booing Hogan for being a wee little Crybaby-Maniac. That obviously didn't work for the him brother so for the replays they re-recorded the commentary to make it more obvious that this was a Sid heel turn and added fake boos and Hogan chants. Also those Sid chants at the end where gone.
John Cena should have been Repoman Jr the way nobody can see him
PUT THAT CIGARETTE OUT!!!
jamie san can G T F outta here
As God intended all my favorite wrestling content creators have cover the 92 rumble.
The song being played during the end montage is an actual Rush song called "Where's My Thing"
The skeeest of the woahs is checking in
heenan going from 'it's a kilt. it's not a skirt, it's a kilt' immediately to 'you skirt wearing freak!' when piper attacks flair is the greatest commentary moment of all time
OH FUCK!!!!
humberto and angel garza did the “reverse world’s greatest tag team spot” a few weeks ago and so many people clowned on them for it 😭 it looked sus (sexy) as hell
God fucking damn it I forgot Jameson was on this show I’m gonna jump into the ocean
"I like that their hair finishes each other." Should not have fucked me up as much as that line did
BLAKE BEVERLY
Reason one of the Beverly Brothers looked familiar to Jawnny is because one of them is Mike Enos
I have never laughed so much in my life
Yo that opener was hot
Piper was so good dude, he fought like every match was a shoot. Such a feel good moment seeing him win.
tony with the flannel Real ass Dad look right here
OH. HELL. YEAH.
