DEADLOCK Podcast #327 (Video)

The June 27th, 2002 episode of WWE SmackDown! is a historic one, as it features the WWE debut of John Cena!

Kurt Angle is introduced by Mr. McMahon. Kurt still has his fake hair from losing it in a match against Edge! He takes it off and says he is tired of being made fun of. He then challenges any wrestler in the back that he has never faced to a match right now! A new kid named John Cena comes out, tells Kurt that he has “Ruthless Aggression,” and slaps Angle in the face! The match is now kicked off. Cena takes it to Angle and almost gets the win multiple times. However, Angle forces Cena’s shoulders down and gets the win!

After the match, John Cena earns the respect of The Undertaker backstage. Speaking of The Undertaker, he comes out to the ring and runs down The Rock on the microphone, saying he is going to make him pay when he returns to the WWE. Kurt Angle then comes out and challenges Taker to a match next week on WWE SmackDown! for the WWE Championship! He ends up putting The Undertaker in the ankle lock for a few seconds just to show that he can.

Also, Mark Henry and Lance Storm have a match, Test takes on Rikishi, Reverend D-Von and Batista team against Faarooq and Randy Orton, and The Divas give us a sneak peek at the upcoming “Divas Undressed” special! Plus, in the main event, Chris Jericho faces “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan!

Absolutely baffling show to watch since I was born in 2003. My brain just can't compute the undertaker scoffing at someone barely beating john cena

Sorry about that fellas. Guessing something went wrong with the Premiere Pro timeline that took off the overlay & sent Johnny to super hell (Lincoln Financial Field) on the render. We'll get it fixed stat asap and update the link here on the post!

Johhny disrespected the freaking legacy of drew Brees and got took out the pod and took the layout with it. also watch out to the chargers johhny and james if the bills see you in the playoffs ill tell them to give it to you so you can job the eagles on national tv and have bad bunny sing some bangers
