Kevin Ku | The Long Way #5

Welcome To HELL!

It's time for the 5th edition of The Long Way! On this month's edition, we invited 2 time DPW World Tag Team Champion, 2024 DPW Tag Festival Winner, and 1/2 of Violence is Forever, "True Til' Death" Kevin Ku! Kevin Ku is also a DPW original, having wrestled on the very first DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling show, and on the last.

We're super excited to have him on for this, and he had an idea immediately when we asked him! Kevin Ku attended WWF Armageddon 2000 with his Dad when he was a young boy, and he knew we hadn't watched the 6-Man Hell in a Cell match on Patreon before, so it fits this all perfectly.

Now it's time to do this...THE LONG WAY.

Imagine doing an entire PPV at Christmas time where heels win every match

I watch TLW while I'm on the step-elliptical at the gym, so I do each episode in 15-30 minute increments. Fellas, I was on the machine for 18 minutes tonight and between the Undertaker pretape, Vince's promo and the Kane/Jericho entrances I saw maybe 2 minutes of actual in-ring action...and it wasn't even that, it was backstage brawling. And I did 1.5x speed on most of Vince's segment! Sorry you drew a dud PPV, Baby Ku.

Three matches in a row where the heels go up followed by a shitty ahh bikertaker promo is egregious. I would've slept through this shit too.

First of all, shoutout Ku. One of my favorite Indie guys. Such an excellent wrestler and great guy. Secondly, I started listening to the AE podcast earlier this year and the NEXT episode in my queue is Armageddon 2000.

Rikishi should've stolen 'Taker's finisher, chokeslammed him onto the hay truck, then shoot Bonzai Dropped him from the top of the Cell. Also, this was the first PPV I "watched" through a scrambled signal.

There’s a bonus clip from Benoit’s 04 DVD where his dad reveals that Benoit lost the tooth wrestling with his dog, and the dog headbutted him under the chin and knocked it out.
