DEADLOCK Watch This! #147

If you're a wrestling fan on the internet for any amount of time, it is very likely you have seen someone talk about this match.

One of the most anticipated matches in independent wrestling history, between two guys on the complete opposite ends of the wrestling world. In 2005, Samoa Joe was in the discussion as being one of the best wrestlers in the entire world. In 2005, Necro Butcher was in the discussion as being one of the craziest deathmatch wrestlers in the entire world. On one night in Philadelphia in 2005, these two had their first match, and the rest is history!

Anybody else come back to this because of Dark Side? Haha. Haven’t watched this in a little bit, so I had to come back one more time before the new episode drops.

This is what it's all about! As a recent patreon member, I was hoping the boys had watched this

OO EE OO AH AH TING TANG WALA WALA BING BANG · July 22, 2024

Dude, at 9:10 Necro looks like a zombie someone just hit in the face with a baseball bat, that is insane. What an awesome match, this is so sick, I can't believe I've never heard of this before.

Bryce getting chucked out of the ring is maybe the best opening to a match ever

Max Trenda · July 22, 2023

I had a Mandela Effect with this match. For whatever reason, I thought this match had Joe doing a Backdrop to Necro on the stairs. Turns out that spot was in a Necro/Eddie Kingston match

Nick Orgel · July 22, 2023

Insane that Necro is still doing matches at 50. Guy is a beast, but someone please remove the weight from his forehead so he stops landing on it.

You guys talked over Prazak explaining how the match got booked. It's the best part of the whole video.

D
DEADLOCK · July 22, 2023

No the best part of the whole video is at 8:55 when Samoa Joe slams Necro Butchers head into the concrete like your gfs squishmallow

Aw yeah, ska band Bryce in da house!

Happy Tiger Snugglefur · July 21, 2023

I remember recommending this one because of how brutal those strikes where when I started seeing the video float around on Twitter, crazy that this match was only about 9:00 minutes and they packed so much in such a short period of time. Crazier to think where a lot of the people in this clip ended in their careers and all of whom are still going to this day!

S
Sampo Salo · July 21, 2023

Greatest match of all time. Fucking crazy that Joe did this match, the Kobashi match and the Unbreakable triple threat all in one year. Joe's the fucking man!

Necro still going strong in 2023 is a fucking miracle!... Put some respect on his goddamn name!!!

Small correction: Necro Butcher's theme was "Still" by Geto Boys, not Ice T https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF8c3BjFWsw

Hank Kronenberg · July 22, 2023

That's why it sounded so familiar

Justin Morgan · July 21, 2023

Does anyone else have trouble viewing this? Everytime it loads up I have audio but no video

This whole show is one of the biggest shows IWA-MS has put on outside of the Ted Petty Invitationals. Especially since it was on the east coast which was a foreign market for them. Imo, an SGH of TPI 2004 would be amazing. So many talents ended up becoming huge deals in the wrestling industry. And it is just fun af to see them all in their low 20s.

So for some Cagematch history here, the two previous matches Necro Butcher had before this was: -a match against Mad Man Pondo in Big Japan on 6/8 (in a Falls Count Anywhere Street Fight Death) -a Falls Count Anywhere tag match with Toby Klein against H8 Club at CZW Violent by Design: Synthesized Euphoria, which happened in this exact venue the exact same day

The kick that Joe hits Necro with @12:13 is absolutely disgusting *goes back and watches it 10 more times*

Punk screaming "Somebody's gonna die!" is iconic. This match was regular rotation on /woo/-tube.
