DEADLOCK Podcast #306 (Video)

Russo and Bischoff are in charge of the “NEW WCW.” It’s WCW Nitro May 22, 2000 and Vince Russo promises us the funeral of Ric Flair. Flair was beat up by the New Blood on WCW Thunder last week and passed out as he was being carried out! The New Blood decides to make a mockery out of The Nature Boy by holding a funeral for him. Also, as it’s a new WCW all the matches are now under relaxed rules! The Cat fights Booker T in a Weapons Match, Mike Awesome battles The Wall in an Ambulance vs Table match, and Scott Steiner takes on his brother Rick Steiner in a Steel Asylum Match. Plus, Terry Funk is going to announce his retirement from pro wrestling.

Here's my conspiracy theory: Kevin Nash missed his mark intentionally, as a rib to... Someone.

Ric Flair burying Shane Douglas remains one of the few justified burials in pro wrestling history. So much go away heat. Shane was never good.

I’ll give Douglas credit, before all the injuries caught up to him in 95, he was pretty good. Unfortunately he only unlocked a personality after he lost most of his wrestling ability. Flair was totally justified as booker in keeping him in the tag scene, he was a great babyface getting his ass kicked before the hot tag.

I like the idea that Hogan wanted to wear FUBU too but Nash didn’t tell him where to go to get it.

If they hit the Little Green Man with the Viscous Red Liquid and took him to a Local Medical Facility, I think that would be a good fucking gizimmick

So I may know a bit about something mentioned in the Observer segment on Vampiro, one of the guys who had bad blood with him in the WWF was Chris Jericho, who had some not so nice things to say about him in his book.
