DEADLOCK Podcast #286 (Video)
February 5th, 1988 is one of the most historic shows in the Golden Era of the WWF. This was the night Hulk Hogan was defending the WWF title against Andre The Giant. At the end of the match Hulk Hogan kicked out, but the ref counted to 3 anyway. There was chaos in the ring as we saw 2 of the same referees. THERE WERE 2 DAVE HEBNERS! “HOW MUCH DID THE PLASTIC SURGERY COST?” screamed Hulk Hogan! We wouldn’t find out why there were 2 Dave Hebners, on that night, but we did know that Andre The Giant was the new WWF Champion. After winning, he immediately gave the belt to The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Also, Macho Man Randy Savage defended his WWF Intercontinental Title against the Honky Tonk Man and a short match between The Hart Foundation and Strike Force gets cut off as the show ends. Plus, the $5 DEADLOCK Patreon Q&A returns!

Drunk at 1am I'm playing some skate 2. At my buddy's house I play GTA SA or re 4 on his PS4 while watching the Lakers game on the other TV. Being crosseyed finally works out. Who else has killed a giant while watching Luka make back to back 3s or flight school and the Superbowl halftime show?
Steve and Larson have long said that Hulk Hogan was always canonically a heel because he's constantly breaking the rules and got away with it.
As a former dairy department grocery store employee, I fell Tony's story in my calcium deficient bones
Holy shit, Jawny's Andre impression is fucking killing me and then following it up with the YESSIR this is peak deadlock.
Gotta put respect on Raab Himself’s name!
really digging the idea of hulkamania being this paranormal force that links the souls of all hulkamaniacs to hulk hogan. i think hes able to hulk up because all the pain is transferred to a random hulkamaniac instead of hogan, sacrificing one fan to no sell for a couple seconds and drop the leg on his opponent deadlock continues to be at the forefront of deep diving into wrestling history
That's literally just Makima from Chainsaw Man lmao
So, is Hulkamania canonically some kind of spiritual force? I know Hulk could sense the lack of Hulkamaniacs in the Dungeon of Dooms lair but here he suggests he can psychically transit physical pain to his Hulkamaniacs. Did the Hulkamaniacs know that was part of the deal when they became Hogan fans? Also does Macho Madness and Warrior Wildness work the same way or is this gestalt Hulka-consciousness unique to Hogan?
RAHHHH BALATRO MENTIONED WHAT THE FUCK IS A BAD GAME
Request for a Roderick Strong or Aj styles banger for watch this!
New DEADLOCK? YESSIRRRRRRR
DiBiase did the house show loop that week being announced as WWF Champion. He either did a tag match with Andre against Hogan and Bam Bam Bigelow. Or defended the title against Bigelow. I found a few of the tag matches on YT. But I have yet to find the one-on-one DiBiase/Bam Bam title matches.
Who’s making fun of Johnny for playing Pokémon TCGP?!
My favorite horror movie kill was an alien Romulus when the blood was dropping onto the guy when he was trying to kill the Xenonorpg
i love the idea of hogan using a soul link jutsu on all his hulkamaniacs, so he never loses bc he's just in the ring going "you wouldn't kill a bunch of little hulkamaniacs would you dude?? i might just fall head first to the floor if you don't lay down brother-"
HOW MUCH DID THE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR MAN SPEND TO PAY CHEF BOYARDEE OFF? LOOK AT THE OVERSTUFFED RAVIOLI FALLING OUT OF HIS POCKETS! PASTAMANIACS! PASTAMANIACS! PASTAMANIACS!
I KNEW ONE OF YOU WOULD TALK JASON X. YEAHHHHH.
Reminder: The Treetop Casino episode of Viva la Bam involves them constructing a wrestling ring and having a wrestling match, so that needs to be a WatchThis.
