DEADLOCK Watch This #288

Two of the best to ever do it.

The Clash of the Champions was a big deal for WCW back in the early 90s, and on this edition of Watch This, we take a look back at this hard-hitting match between two of our favorites; Vader (with Harley Race, of course), and "The Man Not Yet Known As The Big Gold One" Dustin Rhodes! We also get a special bonus promo at the end, which is of course, as delusional as ever!

This match was suggested by duel!

Watch This!

We recommend using uBlock Origin! The ads are sadly not our call, and we don't have many options in terms of uploading these anymore.

I'm Glad Deadlock "watched this" reminding everyone just how sweet Dustin is and that huge pop he got further proving it! A great pick by everyone's favorite multi-time deadie nominee Duel

shoutouts to duel beating the "duel smeels" narrative because no one who smeels could possibly suggest this banger of a match

The Duggan run-in is part of the build for their Starrcade '94 US Title match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFeiZo2EwmY

Shout out to Duel for this suggestion, I got so invested so quick. I always a Dustin fan and always love Vader matches. I always feel sorry for Vader and how his career went...until I watch his matches and realize...oh this is why a lot of people didn't like working with you lol

Rips off the mask then hits a snap suplex and top rope DDT on Vader Dustin might actually be one of the goats

Not Deadlock's fault, it's Dailymotion's. But having to watch 3 ads at the start then 3 ads cut into the action halfway through is a pain in the ass. Can't watch the video without disabling adblock either. Ads at the start cut my excitement at the start right away. Started to get into the match, was getting excited again and then bam. Another 3 unskipple ads.

DEADLOCK · April 18, 2026

Hey dude sorry this is being a pain in the ass right now! Try to use uBlock Origin, that seems to work for most people here

Okay, Cody HAD to have worn a similar jacket in tribute to this one at some point, right? Because Jawnny is right, Dustin has never looked more like Cody during that entrance.
