DEADLOCK Podcast #369 (Video)
"If you rock like me..."
It's a new era for WWE SmackDown, and that era begins tonight! It is the debut episode of SmackDown on MyNetworkTV, and with that comes, of course, a very 2008 episode. We have new graphics, a new intro, a new theme song, and an ALL-STAR lineup. So they say.
50 of the biggest and best stars of the time are scheduled to be on this episode of SmackDown, which is being ran & booked by...The Big Show?! Big Show has taken command of the show, as Vickie Guerrero was hit with a TOMBSTONE by The Undertaker last week.
We get a lot of Champion vs Champion matches on this show, like Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella against United States Champion Shelton Benjamin, and Women's Champion Beth Phoenix takes on Diva's Champion Michelle McCool in a Lumberjack Match. Also, the RAW Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase, team up with Manu, to face the Smackdown Tag Team Champions, Carlito & Primo Colon, with CM Punk!
Speaking of the All-Star lineup, the show opens up with a big ALL STAR 8 Man Tag Team Match! Jeff Hardy, Finlay, Batista, & Rey Mysterio take on Kane, The Brian Kendrick, JBL, & MVP.
Big Show, who is in charge, as well were all aware of, makes a big match for this show. Chavo Guerrero has to pay for not helping Vickie Guerrero last week, and Big Show puts him in a special match. Chavo faces both Mark Henry & The Great Khali in a handicap match.
In the main event, all three brands top champions face off in a triple threat match. RAW's Chris Jericho, the World Heavyweight Champion, SmackDown's Triple H, the WWE Champion, & ECW's Matt Hardy, the ECW Champion, will meet in a Champion of Champions match!
All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"What part of this is Italian?!" 100% dead
James discovering Manu is so fucking funny. The awkward silence and he’s like “…ok so anyways”
This podcast episode was watched by 67 million fans
October 3rd is my bday brudda
Fushigi Orb mentioned this pod is officially for the boys
The part in the WWE title card opener that's kinda cut off by "Freddie Blassie" being said is someone saying, "Oh it's time to slug it out here!" My guess is it's a sound byte from the Capitol Wrestling Corporation era.
I gotta say that it turned out that most of Mike Adamle's mistakes were due to early onset Alzheimers and what turned out to be CTE. Still has the record for the most rushing yards in one game for the Northwestern Wildcats.
the intro bit the boys are talking about is Terry Funk yelling “FOREVER”
I love double double E on MyNetwork TV
Legit remember when I was 7 (I’m 25 now!) that I thought Taker was the heel first time I watched cause he tombstoned a woman screaming in fear. Now he was super valid for that fuck Vickie lol
POV wrestler is insane lmao
