DEADLOCK Podcast #352 (Video)
"Look at that! 200 feet!"
It's time to talk about the INVASION era once again! Stone Cold Steve Austin is the WWF Champion, and last week on SmackDown, he made possibly the biggest mistake of his career; he threw Kurt Angle's Olympic Gold Medals over a bridge, into the river. Stone Cold seems to be involved in a lot of these bridge angles, now that we think about it. But, now it's RAW is WAR, and Kurt Angle is out for revenge. So much so, that Kurt Angle KIDNAPS Stone Cold, and takes him to a bridge in an attempt to throw him off of it. Live. On television.
While everyone else worries about that, we also have some wrestling going on! As mentioned, The Invasion is still in 'full' swing, and The Rock is the current WCW World Heavyweight Champion. On this episode of RAW in Toronto, Canada, Christian gets a chance to win the big gold! He's so confident, that he even gives Edge back the King of the Ring trophy that he's been parading around with. Former WCW Champion Booker T & the owner of WCW, Shane McMahon, take a big interest in this match, as well.
Also on this episode of RAW is WAR, 1/2 of the current WWF & WCW Tag Team Champions, The Undertaker, takes on The Alliance's Test. The Dudley Boyz take on Big Show & Tajiri to find out the #1 contenders for the tag titles. Matt Hardy & Lita look for revenge on The Hurricane & Ivory an in intergender tag match, while Perry Saturn looks to find out who kidnapped Moppy! Most importantly, Shawn Stasiak is here, managed by Stacy Keibler, to take on Spike Dudley, who is managed by Molly Holly.
All of that, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

Comments (24)
This podcast has made me look forward to rewatching Invasion Steve Austin in a way nothing else could.
DUDE, 'Sinner' WAS a fucking awesome album. Even my parents were in on it because they really liked "Tear Away".
I fuck with definitions of words and movies of that nature heavy
another beautiful podcast
Just to clarify I did not change my name Johnny... or did I brother? Shout outs to the other Orioles fans here
This was the time I was watching WWF heavy. Thanks for posting an episode from my childhood. I love the WWF bridge
Cheatcc and Cheatplanet....that just unlocked some childhood memories
SHAWN STASIAK IS SMART AS FUCK
I want to say it was the same place with the rock and Kurt throwing stuff off the bridge. Joe Louis arena. Detroit
Super Genius Stasiak woulda changed the business
Orioles with the deadlock colors & the nicest stadium in MLB, DUDE! (we suck)
That thumbnail got me crying rn💀
Austin yelling "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!" in the back of the truck is legit one of my first core memories watching wrestling
Ol Stone Cold hittin' the Tidus from Final Fantasy X laugh
I'll always remember the Smackdown before this because I thought Austin was saying Joe, Lou and Serena. But it Joe Louis Arena.
Man the Joe was so fun to visit
that cheatcc reference took me back 25 years.
So are we ever getting another Watch This or nah?
Of course! We post 4 a month, and they'll be coming out before the end of the month.
In my world, Invasion Austin was an all timer ratings draw and changed the business for the better and it only got better from September 2001 onwards
IF ONLY WE COULD FLYYYYY INVASION STYLE KURT ANGLE TAKE 'EM TO THE LEASIDE BRIDGE
Perfect timing:)
