DEADLOCK Podcast #333 (Video)
Welcome to LUCHA UNDERGROUND!
The year is 2014, and a brand new wrestling company has popped up on a network that hasn't had wrestling before, the El Rey Network. Lucha Underground gave us a different look at how television wrestling can be produced, and this first episodes gives us an early idea on the direction they were looking to go.
Dario Cueto is the man in charge, a promoter that has opened up his 'Temple' to luchadores from all around the world. In this first episode, he has $100,000 on the line to the best fighter of the night. Little did we know, he has other plans in mind for that money.
The main event of this debut episode is Prince Puma (Ricochet) taking on Johnny Mundo (John Morrison). Also on this show, Chavo Guerrero Jr. takes on Blue Demon Jr., and we get our first look at some Lucha Underground mainstays like Son of Havoc & Sexy Star.
All of that, and so much more, on this week's DEADLOCK Podcast!

As a dyed in the wool hardcore fan i can tell you it is a very good thing for the community that H2O has stopped putting out music. Legendarily bad band with some hilarious t shirts
Fuck Chase Utley & fuck the Phillies, Bo Bichette is a Met baby
Can I recommend WWF Breakdown 1998 for a future podcast episode, it has a triple threat steel cage match and a triple threat main event with Stone Cold vs Kane and Undertaker, also JR and King have some funny commentary throughout the show and a bunch of fans shout some funny stuff at the Undertaker.
They don't do pay-per views on the pod. only on sgh's
lowercasedan music suggestion segment
The boys talking about 2014 BOLA made me check out the previews and reminded me I was actually at nights 2 and 3 of that tournament! I vaguely remember the flyers pinned on every windshield as we poured out of the building. Also the DaShawn2Cents reference is hilarious.
You guys need to react to Terry Funk vs Leatherface in the 1995 IWA King of the Deathmatch Tournament
After hearing what is going with with Johnny I feel bad..... nope
So excited to finally watch this was in Philly for a couple days to watch Taskmaster live
My exposure to Super Dragon has entirely been clips I haven’t watched in 10 years so there were a solid 2 seconds where I thought James blew my mind and revealed Super Dragon was Super Crazy wearing a mask the whole time I’ve known about him and the only reason I didn’t realize sooner was because I was a middle schooler who was brain rotted watching newLEGACYinc clips
dude hope Johnny is feeling okay, my dad just dealt with shingles and that shit looks like no fucking fun. hope you guys are taking care of yourself and making time to decompress from all this shit.
Football is fake Baseball is fake Basketball is alright Where my cricket fans at?
Oh hell yeah brother. Gimme staying up until 5am watching your national team get wrecked on the other side of the world 5 days straight
You guys should do a watch series of this like you did for WSX, I want to rewatch this badly, but I also would love to see James witness LU for the first time
I think The Revival might have already existed, but I think at this time they were still called "The Mechanics"
Lucha Underground made me a wrestling fan again, caught this ep as a rerun on el ray on a sick day from school, shit had me throwing chairs with a 101 degree fever long live LU
More of the underground
paul burchill called it the c4 in fwa before he got signed!! i remember the hype around burchill was that he could do that and a standing shooter which was crazy at the time for a guy his size back when jody fleisch and jonny storm were the future of wrestling
Chat. Can we gas this up? I'm gonna need more Lucha Underground pods.
this show made me a baltimore ravens fan
Wow I’m not gonna lie I didn’t expect you guys to read my response and I was laughing so hard my mascara started running 😂😂😂 thanks boys been a tough week I needed that
LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA!!!
I don't know if you guys would do something like this, but I'd honestly be down for an ongoing series where you review a Lucha Underground episode every other pod or so until you've watched all of them
Hey Jawnny if it makes you feel better one time I got shingles but it was on my waist and it extended all the way to my shitty lil' dick and balls, thanks Herpes Zoster! okay feel better buddy great pod btw boys
I've been waiting for this one, thank you boys!
THE UNDERGROUND LIVES
Hoping for jawwny bluud to feel better, you guys should listen to Lorna Shore
Dude I used to be really into Lucha Underground! I'm glad the boys are checking it out again, the first couple episodes are slow but it really starts to really go all out later on. I actually really like the backstage stuff cause it reminds me of like mexican soap operas and how crazy they could get.
Just here to say. LGM🍎
thank you jawwnny and James for giving us our regularly scheduled content every week despite what’s going on health wise and in your personal lives❤️ means so much to us!!!
I can't believe we had to take the Tony to hell to get Lucha Underground
Am I in heaven??
Now see y’all gotta go watch the pentagon dark vs the black lotus triad episode in season 3 episode 13 breaker of bones.
How long do you usually need to wait to get a name read out? I haven’t had mine in either this weeks or last weeks show
I'll check into it! Sometimes a name or two can get lost in the sea of names. If we see it hasn't been read, we'll add it to the next episode!
Loved this i hope yall review more cause ricochet is the goat and so many people have really good runs in Lucha underground and its alot of people who you guys rarely get to talk about
YEESSSSS 4-1 LETS FUCKING GO LET EM KNOW
Man, shingles fucking sucks. Glad you’re getting over that shit Johnny.
I love the Q&A segment 🤣 I can't stop smiling and laughing.
Vampiro on commentary sounds like Johnny with bronchitis
Small Man Chuck Littel here, thanks for a pod on my birthday! I’m glad to have another highlight added to my day :)
bronchitis? ain’t nobody got time for that!!!
I do have some knowledge as a person who took care of someone who had shingles. If you can I'd try cetamime lotion, it'll help dry it out and the healing process will be a bit faster. Also clean the area with oatmeal soap or antibacterial soap. It is a very painful experience hopefully you don't need any nerve blocker in the long haul. Hope you feel better Johnny!
Can't wait to hear the boys talk about their favorite football teams and how they advanced further into the playoffs 😃👍... Idk, I don't watch the product
Just call that boy Shingle Takagi
