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!

Watch This!

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

This might be my favorite Hogan match of all time. Mainly because all his matches blow but also Road warriors shoot destroyed him

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.

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.

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.

Halo Three? More like Halo Mii. At least that's what they would have called it, on the Wii. Let that sink in, John Flood 路 February 21, 2025

Great stuff, boys! I burped into my hand towards the end and caught a small piece of minced onion from my lunch earlier.

Happy Tiger Snugglefur 路 February 21, 2025

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
