DEADLOCK Watch This #228
USA! USA! USA!
On this edition of Watch This, the boys watch the DESERT STORM match for the first time. This is a street fight between Hulk Hogan and super evil bad guy, Sgt. Slaughter! Slaughter has turned his back on America, and Hulk Hogan is here to fight for the rights of every man. He doesn't give a damn about the WWF title, and he will make sure you know that multiple times in this match!

These guys had me thinking he was gonna fuck up the kid in the ring lmao
I'm re-watching this and it just dawned on me what Hogan having the belt means. This took place on June 3rd 1991, the Gulf War ended February. Vince really wanted that war to go on for longer didn't he?
Hogan was the original Killshot, brother
We need more wild Hogan matches on here. Hogan 12 to 6'ing the WWF title on the concrete was hilarious.
I'd highly recommend Sarge's Boot Camp Match with Iron Shiek for a Watch This ep. Not quite as crazy as this but a great contrast to see how he works as a face in this sort of match. It's free on youtube if you search "Sgt. Slaughter Boot Camp Match"
Hulk Hogan eats corn the American way brother. Big bad Bill Goldberg eats it the long way dude, but not the hulkster, brother.
Fuck this shitty stinkin belt, dude
I swear, that Hogan attire feels like a CAW in 2K
In all my years as a wrestling consumer, this is the first time where I've seen someone drop the chair because it was "too heavy"
You used to be able to buy packs of cigarettes out of these lowboy vending machines that were at every bowling alley and arena and almost never watched over.
you know i guess i have never really thought about it before but cigarette vending machines being relatively common is actually insane. we gotta go back
Seeing that you guys got started with YouTube, When did it become clear that streaming and posting videos became serious?
Yo, I completely fuck with Sarge at the end of the match; the heel not accepting defeat, bloody, held back, trying to get into the ring at any cost to beat Hulk's ass. More people should do that.
This match wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be….who am I? Lol
Little man being a veteran almost made me spit my drink out #whatthedogdo
The bump Slaughter took while holding the chair 🤦♂️🤣🤣
Wait this match kinda ruled
I just realized why this match looks so weird to me. It's early 80's presentation in 90's WWF. I guess this is an MSG thing, all the WWF on MSG shows looked like this.
Worth noting that this match happened 6 months after the war ended
The boys watching classic wrestling has been some of my favorite stuff, so sick
Seeing Sargent Slaughter bleed like that and take those post bumps reminded me of his match against Pat Patterson, Deadlock should definitely do a watch this for their alley match from 81, easily one of the bloodiest matches in wrestling Pre Muta-Scale.
Honestly not as bad as I thought it would be, never realized what an amazing seller Slaughter was, Hogan's Gear was pretty sick, and the fireball spot was one of the cleanest I've ever seen!
U guys should watch Greg Valentine vs Roddy Pipper dog collar match if u haven't already SHITS DOPEE!!!
What the fuck was any of this?? Lol
little did Sarge know he'd take a far rougher belt shot from a French teenager in about 12 years
Goddamn Slaughter went brrrr Also, General Adnan fuckin' *lived*, man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Al-Kaissie
This guy went to high school with SADDAM HUSSEIN??? and then went to OSU??? insane shit
The fireball ruled
This wasn't as super ass as I was expecting.
Slaughter falling back with the chair is insane, either that really was the plan to randomly sell Slaughter's exhaustion, or Hogan was meant to knock him down, forgot, and commentary came in clutch saying he couldn't hold up the weight of a single chair
Coke in the eyes to start the match is crazy.
When the first shot of Hogan came up and all you could see is his eyes, I thought he was on that shit. Then he threw it into Sarg’s eyes and I screamed “I FUCKING KNEW IT”
Jawnny, they have in fact made a Hogan figure in this gear: https://wrestlingfiguredatabase.com/products/2023-wwe-mattel-elite-collection-summerslam-series-4-hulk-hogan
Even his figure has the coke eyes!
ME AND THE DICKTATOR ARE GONNA TAKE DOWN SADDAM DUDE
Hogan's gear here is pretty fucking awesome.
i gotta tell ya boys, this shit paired fantastically with my chicken n sausage jambalaya- cheers once again
I had seen this before and thought little of it, but now with a little more context it's absolutely insane. And Hogan is throwing better fireballs than against WARRIOR. Even though I really hope that first fireball didn't scorch someone's eyebrows in the front row.
THAT IS GREEN KANE!!!
That was actually awesome wtf and the fireball looked great!
A Desert Storm match? Hoooo boy....
Thanks for all you do boys. Cause in no world would I be watching this otherwise.
That Kid climbed the rope ladder at USS Pearl Harbour with Jesse Ventura BROTHER!!
If you want more Sgt Slaughter stuff to watch, here's Sgt Slaughter having a tug of war match with Big Foot the monster truck. https://youtu.be/ZN5IPGuvbrs
Hogan seems legitimately pissed off before during and after the match. I'd say he's just working but I know he isn't that good of an actor. I wonder what happened?
he's pissed that an American hero like Sgt. Slaughter would turn his back on our proud nation
Pat Patterson v. Sgt. Slaughter Boot Camp match is also a classic!
Holy shit Mortis Hogan!
This is after Slaughter lost the title to Hogan at Mania 7; a Mania so bad they had to move it from the 100,000+ seat LA Coliseum to the 17,000 seat LA Sports Arena. WWF said they moved it because Slaughter death/bomb threats but it was really because they couldn't sell tickets; by the time they moved venues only 12,000-15,000 tickets were sold.
Let's go!!! Old glory style!!!
This is historically notable as a clash between two of the guys who did the USA gimmick the hardest (the Patriot, Duggan, and Angle also on the list of course), but of two major babyfaces who kept missing each other in the 80s; Slaughter leaves the WWF about a year after Hogan comes back after being their ersatz top babyface over that span (arguably bigger than Backlund), and goes to the AWA which is where Hogan had been before. Truly words colliding.
This was a fun match ngl
Sgt Slaughter and Pat Patterson had an Alley Fight in MSG in like the early 80's I believe that was awesome and the boys would probably like. Great juice in that one
Legitimately one of the best matches in company history, like top ten easy to this day
Man that fireball throw was perfect!
this is wrestling brother
That was a young Jim Duggan in there getting the rub, brother. I taught him his whole USA gimmick, dude.
Can’t believe Krule stole his look from the Hulkster smh
Heels don't stooge like that for babyfaces anymore, Slaughter made that match great.
That was really fun! Slaughter's exhaustion selling is better than most wrestlers today. Y'all should check out Slaughter vs. Iron Sheik in their Boot Camp match from '84.
DRINK THE CANTEEN BROTHER
And remember dude to finish the whole quart, cuz the enemy jabronis can hear water sloshing around in a half full canteen brother
They made an elite desert storm hulk hogan with the mask last year. It was in a summerslam line
damn that match was kinda bad
No one ever talks about how T-Shirt under Singlet is insane. Slaughter is a mad man for that.
Hogan has the Karrion Kross mask on in the Nickelodeon slime colorway
Hogan KRULE STYLE???
I think Krule should wear this Hogan gear from now on. Or maybe he shouldn't, brother.
Man you know this match is gonna hella suck
This doesn’t work me brother or maybe it does.
It really is an up in the air thing here dude!
