DEADLOCK Watch This #266
When there is no wrestling left to be done in the year of 1997, you have to call for one man; THE BUTTERBEAN. And Marc Mero, more importantly.
On this edition of Watch This, we take it back to 1997 where DX had a PPV named after them, and the show absolutely happened. On this show, a TOUGH MAN FIGHT took place between Butterbean & Marc Mero. Marc Mero has been accusing Butterbean of trying to steal his woman, Sable, and now he is going to fight for her honor (?). This is one for the ages.

Down. Reup?
"There is a low blow in this bowling ball man's future."
I didn't know what to expect coming in but that was actually pretty awesome, definitely the most entertained I've been by a worked boxing match on a wrestling show.
This is awesome 👏 👏 👏👏
Cool to see Ein fill in for Tony lol
Certified for the boys Deadlock classic right here!
Wait you guys know Ein? You guys know everyone!
Based Marc Mero
Truly a MARCsterpiece
Marc Tyson over here 😆
You put the jacket on butter bean it would slip right off 🤣 He was lubed to the max 😆
haha that was great. the spit bucket spot was nasty, but what a hoot of a 'match'. uce uce uce
Why don’t more boxers do sneak dropkicks in between rounds are they stupid?
GIVE ME THE SPIT BUCKET
I miss Tony 😢
We all miss Toby
This match fuckin ruled!!! I was not expecting that lol
I don't know what's the bigger tragedy, the fact that Macho Man vs Terry Funk doesn't exist or that Butterbean vs King Kong Bundy doesn't exist.
Crazy to think that between these two men only one of them has had several wrestling matches in 2025 Say what you will about Butterbean when it comes to Wrestling, but man I love seeing him in the ring having Novelty matches.
I wasn't expecting the spit bucket to be full of water, so when Mero got doused with all that water from the bucket, I was howling with laughter
Well that was easily the best boxing match on a wrestling show I ever saw. I'm sad Butterbean didn't get that pro wrestling run he was angling for.
Man, Butterbean looks like Homer SImpson in that boxing episode wtf
That was fucking incredible. UFC 322 better step up
I just remembered that around i think 2011-2012ish, my high school brought Marc Mero to basically do his version of a d.a.r.e assembly. It was based. Idk know why but him with the buzzcut unlocked that memory from a crazy pit in my brain
Might be the best boxing wrestling match all time
Glad to see Ein make it to this Watch This. Also happy to hear they're a big Sable fan
Is Butterbean okay???
The windmill wind-up into dick punch was diabolical
If you're like me and you're wondering why Butterbean's music sounds familiar, it was Bam Bam Bigelow's babyface theme, the one they gave him in Legends of Wrestlemania.
I was praying for TKO on Butterbean boxing gloves style
when's TOBY!!!!!!
but seriously I miss Tony, and hope he's doing alright!
no match has ever uce uced more than this match
Appreciate the boys getting the dog out of hell
That ruled
This is amazing timing. The news station I work at literally interviewed Marc Mero this week for a podcast. I wish I had them ask him about this!
You have no idea how badly I wanted to see Marc Mero hit the shooting star press in the boxing gloves
who up buttering they bean
This one is much funnier in retrospective. I probably would have hated this at the time because what is this boxing stuff doing in wrestling, etc. But with the context that neither of these people are going anywhere, this is just a dumb comedy bit and frankly, much better than the act the PPV is named after.
That was actually pretty good ngl
Fun fact this PPV's main event (HBK/Shamrock) is the last time a WWF PPV doesn't have Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker or Triple H in the main even until Rebellion 2002 (Lesnar and Heyman vs Edge) and if you don't count UK exclusives its Wrestlemania 19 with Angle/Lesnar.
This was way better and way funnier than I ever thought it would be! 🤣 GET THAT MOTHERFUCKER! YEAH!
Art Jimmerson was on the same boxing card as butterbean
Ah yes Thegeneration X.
You know what would’ve made this so much better? Bastion Booger
This is that goofy ahh shit I live for! (I was a baby when this happened)
I'm gonna be honest boys I was expecting this to be straight ASS, but it was actually super fun!
"Where's Tony!?!"
Time to butter that bean
PLEASE WATCH THE HHH-SLAUGHTER MATCH!!
Yes yes yes
I was at this pay per view.
How was it live?
