DEADLOCK Podcast #365 (Video)
"EVEN MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY BOUGHT IT!"
Somehow, this is an episode we have never covered before, but it is a moment that we have referenced many, many times over the years.
On this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we're taking a look back at the infamous episode of WWF RAW Is War from June 7th, 1999, where Vince McMahon is revealed to be the GREATER POWER! Or, the higher power. It really depends on who you ask.
For 3 months, The Undertaker has been referencing this 'greater power', and last week on RAW, Stone Cold Steve Austin got his first look at who this was, and now tonight, the whole world will find out who it is. Vince McMahon unveils himself to be this Greater Power, leading to one of the most memorable promos of all time. Of course, things don't work out for Vince, as his wife, Linda McMahon, and daughter, Stephanie McMahon, both own just as much of the company as Vince does. Linda & Stephanie decide to give up their percentages of the company, and give them to Stone Cold Steve Austin, who is now the new CEO!
With it being the Attitude Era, there is obviously a ton more going on here. Stone Cold tells The Union (Ken Shamrock, Big Show & Test) that they can all face whoever they want tonight. As mention, Big Show picks The Undertaker. Ken Shamrock, who was supposed to face Jeff Jarrett in a Lion's Den Match, instead picks Vince McMahon to face in that match. Test picks Stephanie...to take on a date!
Stone Cold also puts Triple H in a "Cast" Match against The Rock, and Shane McMahon in a handicap match, against two men that he screwed out of the WWF Tag Team Championships the week before; Kane & X-Pac!
This is also the episode where The Big Show faces The Undertaker in the main event for the WWF Championship, and chokeslams The Undertaker through the ring. An absolutely insane moment to cap off an already ridiculous episode.
All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

The woman with 3 DUIs getting popped for contempt was for sure wearing a "F💀CK FEAR/DRINK BEER" shirt to her court hearing
Can't believe it took this long for them to review this episode honestly.

the bikini contest seg was so hard to get through even in audio form. even in 1999 when they were actively winning the war, wwf just couldn't stop themselves from proving why they shouldn't have
Thank you for this great episode. I enjoyed watching this episode of the DeadLock podcast while drinking a refreshing ice cold beverage. (Insert relevant catchphrase from podcast) the boys are indeed back in town!

Dang must be next week for my name to be read
Well God Damn son! The first GTV was “GDTV” and “GD” stood for “Green Devil”. It was gonna be Hornswoggle wearing little green horns, son! And that’s the bottom line! Cause Stone Cold said so!
Let’s go
“It was me, Austin! It was CHASE…”
Please react to the Stone Cold vs Vince and Shane ladder match at King Of The Ring 1999
Linder McMahon got that Secretary of Education Brain on full display here.
Real A1 content
Thought this said ITS ME, AUTISM and yeah, same.
Jake the Snake Roberts I believe was supposed to be the rumored higher power at some point so there is world where Jake pulls off the hood and then plays air guitar with the snake while shouting about playing 21.
Bro a 32 segment to open Raw. END THIS NOW
Oh Hell Yeahhhhhhh! They should’ve given Linda McMahon her own Carlito Cabana-style talk show based off this episode
