DEADLOCK Watch This #273
What better way to start off the New Year than to go back to one of the most acclaimed eras in pro wrestling history, 2009?!
WWE SmackDown 2009 - Finlay vs Mike Knox: Belfast Brawl
On this episode of WATCH THIS, we're getting some ol' hardcore with it. It's a man that loves to fight taking on a man that loves evil science, as Finlay takes on Mike Knox. It's Finlay's specialty match (?) as well, the BELFAST BRAWL. There's no better first match on a 2009 SmackDown to have than this.

I know that the boys are working on getting all these videos back up after the mass copyright claims, but if this one doesn't go back up it will hurt my soul
Need to point out WWE putting the flag of Ireland behind "Belfast Brawl" is so WWE. For those that don't know, Belfast is in Northern Ireland which doesn't use that flag and honestly doesn't even really have an official flag, we're just kind of the forgotten part of the UK lmao. (Source: I live like 20 minutes away from Belfast)
This is 4 weeks before JR last full time broadcast with WWE.
i watched this shit live as a shitty 12 year old
Got blue balled with that table :(
Mike Knox looks like what happens when you hit random appearance in any wrestling game in 2008-2010
my name is finlay and i love to frot
The boys willing watching a Mike Knox match is insane
Fucked up thing is Knox kinda looks like Caustic
Frieza's BRUDDAH?!
Shouts out to The Menagerie btw. The main man Crazzy Steve, The Freak, the dudes with the stilts, Rebel. Those were my dudes!
I am the one person who has their t shirt. Also Crazzy Steve is one of the most unappreciated guys out there, he’s really fuckin good
TURN THAT SONG UP
its like they both heard the 'chair to the back' quip and said "bet, watch this"
Metal cooler
This is such a weird period for smackdown lol, poor JR basically had a new commentary partner every few months because iirc both Mick Foley and then Tazz left for TNA.
Guy like me I’m not letting Mike Knox talk at all and every week he’s just chokeslamming dudes into barbed wire
I'm not going to lie, the finish was a hot spot
#BringBackBreakinGoint⛓️💥
I'm unironically a huge Mike Knox guy, you have no idea how fast I clicked this when I saw it
As the number 1 Mike Knox respecter, I can't let this misinformation stand. Although Knox made the big man cross body popular, it's not his finish. That would be the "Knox Out", a spinning reverse STO that looks sweet. He also used to win with that Bicycle Kick sometimes on ECW
Wait, this isn't an episode of Tyin' Your Tubes? (This one a deep nL cut.)
Finlay is a Hall of Famer. Guess like him and William Regal deserve WAYYYY more credit for their work and longevity.
QUARTER PAST TEN!!!!
Can't believe this guy became a referee
Was Mike Knox... good?
Always was!
Mike Knox was 6'6", 300lb and they told him to go out and talk about iridocyclitis!?!?!
Bro, just hit em in the mouth!
Oh hey it’s the Mad Scientist
ashamed to admit that I was a huge Mike Knox mark around this time (i was 8 y/o)
There's zero shame in being a huge Mike Knox fan, some of us still are!
I know Tony is heartbroken to have missed an 09 Smackdown watch this
That finish was awesome
For an opening Smackdown match from 2009...they kinda cooked here
Every time Finley reached for the gig he thought "is it worth the fight with Vince for a 2009 Smackdown?" And stopped. Also let's go Breakingoint 2009 for SGH!
NOOOOOOO!!!!
"My name is Finlay" "And my name is Khali" "And we *love* to FUCK."
Cooler imagine if he was metal. METAL COOLER
What a way to start the new year. Can’t have it any better
One of the smackdown matches
Cooler!
Happy New Years hog dippers
Mike Knox Big
