DEADLOCK Watch This #267
Two for the price of one, the boys are back in town to see TWO instances of Taka Michinoku taking on Aguila!
On this edition of Watch This, we take it back to both 1997 AND 1998! The first match is from an episode of WWF Monday Night RAW from December of 1997, where Taka Michinoku takes on Aguila in a WWF Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Match.
Then, we follow it up with their Light Heavyweight Title Match at WWF WrestleMania XIV!

I noticed that TAKA wrestled Devon Storm in the first round of the tournament. That would be a cool Watch This episode. Also damn those were two fucking awesome matches.
Essa Rios’ Tope Con Giro over the corner turnbuckle is so dangerous but is my favourite spot of all time. also, he was only 18 years old in the semi-final match.
He also wrestled Super Crazy in the first round, and yes, it was sweet.
Seeing Taka do the taunt after so long reminded me how fucking awesome the Michinoku Driver is
They had a great match with each other in ECW. Aguila was in his papi chulo gimmick which is pretty sweet.
You know these matches are sick when I’ve seen that WM15 match a hundred times and I still was yelling “HEADDROP THIS MOTHER FUCKER” right before the finish.
Nice for kite to show up for the.... KITE LOOK OUT NOOOOOOOOO
The boys gotta watch Taka and Bradshaw vs Kaientai now
If you think that the stuff they’re doing here is ahead of their time, you should watch some Michinoku Pro 6 or 10 mans with Kaientai in them too from a few years before. The speed that these guys were working at as absolutely insane even with bigger dudes like Dick Togo, if you can believe it Taka is almost dialing it back here in some regards
You knew Taka was gonna win that match at Mania the moment Aguila was seen already in the ring. Like c'mon, a jobber entrance at Mania? Especially for a title match? That's not right.
Thr GOAT of the light heavyweight division is and will always be GILLBERG THE F'N GOAT!!
Come home soon, Toby ;o;
Mania 14 was my first PPV ever :) I could have sworn Taka hit the spaceman moonsault to the outside here. I must be getting old.
My fav match at wm14
Holy shit JR said Aguila was 19 years old in the Mania match?! That’s nuts!
Aw yeah man
I agree with Johnnys last line. Run that shit every week. Get a third that would work well with them and they’d have their own Guido/Tajiri/Super Crazy match to pop the crowd
I had Karate Fighters back at this time!
I appreciate you fellas catching up on Watch This and posting them back to back, always look forward to these
Where TF is Tushy Douglas??
So where does the taka “fuck you” joke come from?
It's one of Taka's themes in Japan - https://youtu.be/q-NEDgQIP8I?si=ycGPa7rU20kWZlUu
Crazy to hear JR call an Asai Moonsault and reference Riki Choshu.
The amount of height and distance Taka gets on those springboards to the floor is both ridiculously scary and impressive
I'm gonna kick u ass!
FUCK YOU
I remember the lucha shoulder push thing too! Happened a lot in CHIKARA, I'm sure someone will remember the name cause I can't MICHINOKU DRIVER TAUNT **YEAH**
So the first match and the upcoming thunder episode are from the same building. SWVA dippers stand up!!
Taka’s music hits: The boys: FUCK YOU!!!
Brian Christopher defeated Slip, I know he would crush these two jabronies.
2 back to back Watch This™️ bangers? I’m spoiled
Not sure how you decide upon what to watch, but if you ever do a 2-for-1 again, can we please get Stone Cold V Triple H - 3 Stages of Hell, followed by John Cena V Ryback - 3 Stages of Hell 😂 Hope a great weekend is being had by all ❤️
Imma need you bois to watch Ospreay vs Vader pls
TAKA IS COMING . . .
. . . MOTHERFUCKA
Gotta agree, Singlet into pants gimmick is pretty rad
Where’s Toby?
Playing pretty little princess or something like that
