DEADLOCK Watch This #268
When you think you know it all, you find out that Van Hammer had a short stint in Big Japan Wrestling. Then, when you find out he teamed with ZANDIG, things get even crazier.
On this edition of Watch This, we take a look back at this ridiculous-on-paper match with four maniacs. It's John Zandig teaming up with Van Hammer to take on the team of Jun Kasai & Wifebeater. It's a deathmatch with tag rules, the best way to do it. Who will be the better team?!

Never in my life would I ever think that one of the coolest tag teams ever....could be John Zorndorn and VAN HAMMER but here we are!
superplex into superplex into diving frog splash elbow is an unfathomably based tag move sequence
Hammer did wear a singlet for a minute in WCW, after being kicked out of the Flock to joining MIA
Knocking an actual light tube off the ceiling and then picking it up to hit someone with it is a hell of an audible, an it was done by Van fuckin Hammer
Van Hammer walking down the steps at Hakata Star Lanes jamming on a light tube bundle with a pyro effect. Could have changed Big Japan forever.
John Zandig, an American, stealing a move called the “Pearl Harbor Splash” for the finish is absolutely insane
MY MOVE
How were they such a perfect tag team lol
Zandork
Zandick
I fuckin knew Van Hammer could be a good deathmatch wrestler after that Cactus Jack match
This day Vandig was the best tag team in wrestling. We watching BJW can yall watch a FMW deathmatch perhaps? (only FMW match on watch this is horace hogan thats based)
Dude I saw "Van Hammer & John Zandig vs" in the email and I've never clicked a link faster in my life
Okay I'm gonna be honest. If you didn't tell me that was Vanhammer there's a 0% chance I'd ever guess it was him, and I've seen an unhealthy amount of Vanhammer. Big Japan Bandana with the short hair Vanhammer is fucking cursed
Jun kicking out of a back to back superplex + froggy-bow combo is so beast
Van Hammer looks like Bandit Keith before he went to Duelist Island
ZANDIG: HEY MELTZER. GOT A REAL KICKASS MATCH COMING UP. ME, JUN KASAI, WIFE BEATER AND VAN HAMMER IN A HARDCORE MATCH IN JAPAN.
Oh cool, is it booked?
That was all kinds of wonderful
JEEEZZUUUSS
Close enough welcome back The Road Warriors
Hey, I didn't see any turkey, but these guys were cookin.
What an absolute name wifebeater is holy cow
Zandig, the man who no matter what looks like he’s either on his way to or coming back from a Bumfight taping.
That was as extremely dumb as advertised. Not remotely a complaint.
is that forum legend crazy monkey jun kasai i see
Big Van Hammer pulling up in Big Japan to prove he has a decent match in him. It’s almost wholesome in a gory kind of way.
Danzig
Zandig was 30 years old here.
