DEADLOCK Watch This #229

WAR GAMES!! On this edition of Watch This, the boys venture back to 1991 for a big WAR GAMES match.

It's three members of the Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, and Sid Vicious) teaming up with Larry Zbyszko, taking on the stacked team of Sting, Brian Pillman, and The Steiner Brothers. There is a damn ceiling on this cage, there is pyro, there is a cool ass stage, and there is BLOOD!! What more could you ask for?!

Watch This!

The foreshadowing from James when he saw Pillman wrapped up at the beginning of the video "Oh he's hurt!" Not yet brother, but he will be.

OMG and then immediately after saying "I love that this has a ceiling." "And I love that its low." LMFAO

Rick Steiner really said someone’s getting CTE tonight and it’s gonna be me

scottelot · February 20, 2025

I'm like the boys where I didn't really think I'd be into the older stuff either, but there's so many 'smart' spots in this and some of the other matches on Watch This we've seen that are just lost now that I love. It's such a good indicator of just how much wrestling has evolved/changed over the years and what's done differently.

OH MY! DIPPERS OF THE HOG UNITE! · February 20, 2025

Watching Sid bugged eyed asking Rick Stiener if he was ok after going headfirst into the cage was honestly wholesome as shit lol

C
Clinton Mac · February 19, 2025

No, let Jawnny cook. I think War Games would be more entertaining if they just released bees into the cage.

zaza so rancid it made me end Bobby Roode's TNA push · February 16, 2025

Sid doing a fucking Ganso Bomb to Pillman is insane

J
JP Tuesday · February 16, 2025

I'm old. I saw this show live on PPV. It's definitely peak of pre-Hogan, pre-nWo WCW. I'd love to see you guys watch more of this era.

Grabbing the cage roof to dropkick Whindham was tits

Lee Flanagan · February 15, 2025

How good was this so simple but wow genuinely lowkey shits on recent war games matches don't get me wrong roh 2006 rules on watch this but wow looking back at this its actually so enjoyable can someone explain why hahah well apart from the fact that dusty and JR on commentary fucking rule every move is like woaaah

R
Real North Carolina judge Dick Boner · February 16, 2025

It's because they can bleed. Modern War Games matches try to overcorrect the lack of blood with weapons and choreographed spots but it just makes it a boring plunder brawl. That and they've repeated Io Shirai doing the Great Sasuke spot for like five years running.

BigJ · February 15, 2025

Need some more old-school Stinger matches. Maybe one of his battles with Vader?

FUCK THE TAR HEELS FUCK THE NITTANY LIONS GO VOLS · February 15, 2025

I'd love to see a Watch This! of Jade vs Rosemary Six Sides of Steel. I recently have done a deep dive into Rosemary after watching some old DPW and have really fallen in love with her as a worker.

great wargames, i think 92 wargames is even better. if you dont "get" Sting after that I dont know what to tell you

Didn't Pillman really got fucked by Sid here?

Marathon train by day, Deadlock podcast by night! All day! · February 15, 2025

I love this match. Very glad you watched it. It's crazy to think that the 92 one is arguably even better. Also I can't stand when people do war games and give the faces the advantage. TNA did it a few times and WWE does it every year it feels. It's so backwards. This is the easiest shit to book. Heels get the advantage until the face makes the save. repeat.

J
JP Tuesday · February 16, 2025

The issue is WWE does two War Games matches in one night. It would be sus if both matches had the heel team get the advantage. They need to just do one.

M
Mah-Dry-Bread · February 15, 2025

Man I love that you guys are getting into older stuff! I've been real into 80's and early 90's stuff for a long time but this era of WCW is a blind spot for me, so getting to watch it with you guys is just the best

Fat Ryback · February 15, 2025

This show also had Big Van Vader vs. Stan Hansen ending in a double disqualification. That had to be a slugfest.

I’m in my mid 40’s and I grew up with this era of WCW. I’m so glad you guys are enjoying these old school matches.

Did you know the Rock has a new chip dip It's called DIP THE GUAC JOHNSON · February 15, 2025

Just further proof that wrestling has always been awesome. It may not always be awesome in the same place, but there's always something that's fucking dope happening somewhere in the business.

This was the first war games match for me. I remember my dad tryna get me to watch it and thought it would suck cause of the fed telling me how bad WCW was

THERE’S NEVER BEEN A WHAT IN THE FOUR HORSEMAN??

Ron · February 14, 2025

I started watching wrestling in 96 so hearing JR dong WCW commentary and Schiavone doing the ring announcing feels weird. This makes me want to watch more War Games, I went to check and see if Macho Man was ever in one, he was but it's with the freaking Dungeon of Doom....

Did you know the Rock has a new chip dip It's called DIP THE GUAC JOHNSON · February 15, 2025

Absolutely. Sure, the second half of his TNA run and his WWE run weren't great, but his AEW run more than made up for it imo

FalconX9K · February 14, 2025

It probably makes sense to get the better workers in the match early so they're in the ring longer
