DEADLOCK Watch This #230
We didn't believe this existed either, but it does!
This is an event that the SWS (Super World Sports) ran in conjunction with the WWF in 1991 at the Tokyo Dome. This match was originally going to be Hulk Hogan vs Genichiro Tenryu, but neither man wanted to lose, so we got this match instead! This is absurd, honestly. Enjoy!

Double eye rake is crazy
I love how this just devolves into a shoot fight.
Japan Hogan was a different animal. I have to say boys, them chair shots were vicious. 馃槀馃槀
The Road Warriors are jumping Hulkster for his side bread in hell now, dude!
I came?
After watching a bunch of these episode this reminds me of Mystery Science Theater
hogan's music still plays after he loses by countout lmfao
from what i heard it was supposed to be Genichiro vs Hogan and Genichiro taking the win, but creative control thought it would make the WWF look a weaker brand, so the Road Warriors who were supposed to lose to another Japanese tag team were called and they set up this match where Hogan said 'i'm not getting pinned (brother)' and wanted a no DQ and Hawk was sick of Hogans general attitude on the tour and sold mostly for Genichiro but not Hogan and kept him outside the ring for a count-out loss, where it should of been a Leg Drop pinfall victory for Hulk and a handshake between Hogan and Genichiro, or maybe not...brother
Wheres the pod toby
Tenryu in this era was unstoppable
Hogans hair always looked like shit.
Finally, a good Hulk Hogan match!
This might be my favorite Hogan match of all time. Mainly because all his matches blow but also Road warriors shoot destroyed him
do you think if hawk and animal hit the fusion dance they'd be haired out crazy style
Dragon Gate for Watch this?
Ok so I just went and looked, could've sworn they did Blood Gen vs Do-Fixer
I think at one of these SWS/WWF shows was the famous match with Earthquake and some guy that turned into a shoot.
First week as a 5 dollar Patron. Why haven鈥檛 I done this before? It鈥檚 been over 3 years
You have a lot of nonsense to catch up on!
I always fixate on how unnecessarily stiff the ring was during this era. Shit sounds like straight up planks covered with a canvas. Hogan also might be the worst at running the ropes of all time. Allegedly, 365+ matches like this featuring Hogan exist. Those flights back and forth to Japan, brother. Or maybe not, dude.
whatever match is out there that broke out into a shoot the most while still being respectable, i want to Waattcch That with the boys
Looking at the thumbnail, you guys remember that "You see this shit?" with Spiderman? I'm just thinking of Hogan saying "You seeing this shit, Genichiro?"
This was a beautiful fever dream of an upload.
Somebody explain Hogan kicking the cameraman to me? I am so confused. Is that what a real American is supposed to do when you get to another country?
Camera dude said that Macho Man was better, brother! That assholemaniac isn't gonna be getting any Pastamania any time soon, that's for certain jack!
1991 underrated year of fucked fucker matches.
DUDE Axe Bomber opening hawk up wcw/nwo world tour style WTF!
Fuck Hulk Hogan,, but his matches in Japan Rule!
that was really fun holy shit
Tony been putting on for Nebraska like crazy lately
The boys retroactively making Hogan the funniest wrestler alive will never get old
Hogan does have a 1-on-1 with Tenryu that's on Youtube. https://youtu.be/ndUcbKEL8T4
That was also for SWS. God I love that fuckin inflatable dragon at the start there
Youtube randomly started recommending me a bunch of Road Warriors matches from AJPW this week, so unlike Johnny I was not even remotely surprised by the finish of this match. Some day I will come across a match of theirs with an actual finish.
Hulk Hogan clearly shooting for his life, brother. Can't disappoint 185,000 or maybe there's a million in the crowd, dude. All there for me, dude.
Hogan breaking up the pin with a chair fucking killed me 馃槀. This my first Tenryu match I believe. Hilarious way to be introduced
This is a must watch, HOLY shit
Lmao Hogan calling out for the Axe Bomber was based as fuck
Japan Hogan was a different kind of shark fr
Its 1991 month
Every single drive-by with a weapon shot is like a jumpscare what a mysterious program
whoever booked this prolly got his ass beat by all 4 guys after they got to the back.
I was scrolling and saw part of the thumbnail and thought "F*CK YEA...some Japanese strong style wrestling, those are my favorite What This episodes"...then I saw the rest of the thumbnail and saw Hogan and lost interest...then I saw Road Warriors in the title and was interested again. Time to actually hit play.
Great stuff, boys! I burped into my hand towards the end and caught a small piece of minced onion from my lunch earlier.
Hogan coming in out of the blue, to hit Animal with the chair before even the 1 count started blatantly DQ'ing himself made me nearly choke on my lunch from laughing so hard. Same with the guy in Green at 16:18 who bluntly gets hit in the head with the chair and James going "alright damn!' as the guy casually leaves the ring 馃ぃ
This match fucking sucked. It also ruled. Baffling man. Also screw you James, laughed the whole match cause I cant forget how the Road Warriors hair completes each other
Classic Road Warriors match finish brother, love to see it
Wow, I have never seen Hogan hit someone with a chair that hard before! I also can't believe the Road Warrior got the win.
I heard this was in front of 185 thousand people
Now this is wrestling boys! Picture quality is shit and they are hard waying each other in the match!
tenryu vs jumbo next
Four dudes with giant egos refusing to give a fucking inch? That's real pro wrestling to me!
What do you mean dude they lost to me brother
Oh boy this match went places I wasn't expecting. Sometimes just feeling like consummate professionals just walking into the ring without a plan and making something out of it.
Y'all are going through like an OSW Review era and I'm totally here for it.
That was everything I could have possibly hoped for
The Hulkster had to kick that cameraman because he was getting a close-up of my itty-bitty balls, dude!
Why was I getting early ECW vibes from that entire match
James talking about the shoegaze camera, make sure everyone checks out PuroWave if you haven鈥檛 seen those videos before
the absolute roid belly on Animal, JEEZUS
THAT'S MY BOY TENAROO, DUDE
This match makes me wanna drink all American beer for some reason
Just in time for my lunch! Today I鈥檓 gonna eat shit and die
GBR TONY
I hope Tony has his dentist appointment booked for next week
Oh my. He better do that brother
I鈥檓 never going to lose brother.
woah this was on the road warriors dvd i watched a million times as a kid
That's the one where one of the Road Warriors does match commentary with JR?
