DEADLOCK Podcast #366 (Video)
"3D just did us all in!"
On September 3rd, 1999, TNN aired the second (2nd) episode of ECW, which is the first episode that had any brand-new matches for the program, as the first episode was a compilation of matches from previously aired pay-per-views and shows. Now, it's time to see what Paul Heyman & ECW actually have to offer!
The timing of the events that unfold on this episode are pretty crazy, and it's all jam-packed into a 45 minute show. The ECW fans already know that The Dudley Boyz are on their way out, and the Dudleyz themselves have confirmed it. They also say that they are going to not only win the ECW World Tag Team Championships for an 8th time, but they're going to take them to the WWF, and throw them down on national television.
The Dudleyz are successful in regaining the Tag Team Titles from Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney, but they aren't going to get away with those titles that easily. Tommy Dreamer steps up to the challenge, and at first, takes on both Buh Buh (Bubba) Ray & D-Von in a handicap match for the titles. But surprisingly, Dreamer DID have a partner, he just didn't know it. Raven makes his return to ECW, after having just gotten his release from WCW, and picks up the win, and the tag team titles!
We also get an ECW World Heavyweight Title match to start off this show, as current champion Taz, who won't be around for much longer, takes on Yoshihiro Tajiri, who is accompanied by Steve Corino & Jack Victory (in a wheelchair, of course). We're also shown a music video showcasing Lance Storm, which is introduced by Rob Zombie?!
All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

I want to thank the boys for so much great content over the years. This is my comfort podcast and I fall asleep watching old pods, SGH and syncs quite often. It's brought a lot of joy to me and plenty of others. 7 more years!
Happy anniversary you fucked fuckers!!! ❤️
As much as I hate to say this, the ECW VHS Johnny is talking about aren't "real" ECW tapes. The real tapes, especially pre-98, came in a blank white sleeve with a cutout for the face label. A really easy way to determine what you're looking at is if it's not a PPV and has boxart, it's most likely not an ECW-produced tape in the truest sense. There's plenty of the OG tapes floating around but they're pricier than the Pioneer/licensed tapes.
Is that right? The Pioneer releases aren't real ECW releases?
Johnny mentioned that monster truck madness 64 falls into his wrestling category game lol monster jam maximum destruction has Goldberg, sting and I believe Wcw nitro.
Shoutout to Jawnny for the Hatebreed reference.
Absolutely would buy shirts and merch!

Dude, I own Monster Truck Madness. I have been playing that game since I was a kid. I used to LOVE playing that game with my brother. I didn't realize until last year that the game is full of WCW/NWO trucks. So happy to hear it get a shout here. I still have my copy :)
