DEADLOCK Podcast #210 (Video)
AJ Styles was the backbone of TNA Wrestling. Without him in the early days, Total Nonstop Action may not have been as popular as it was. AJ Styles was the one constant in the company, and you knew if he was on the card you would get a phenomenal match! When his contract expired at the end of 2013, it was time to renegotiate. All he wanted to stay in the company was the same amount of money he was getting paid. TNA Management couldn't afford that AJ Styles left the company. However, AJ Styles, working on a handshake deal, would work until the January 9th, 2014 episode of Impact Wrestling. At this time, AJ Styles was TNA World Champion, however, Magnus was also TNA World Champion by winning a tournament. On this episode, the 2 champions go head to head to crown one Undisputed TNA World Champion. AJ Styles and Dixie Carter agreed that that match would be a NO Disqualification Match. AJ knew that Dixie and her group “Dixieland” would try to cost AJ the belt and get him out of the company. Dixie Carter also knew that AJ had friends in the company, so she set up a bunch of backstage attacks and different matches to get rid of all of AJ’S friends before the main event. This would be AJ Styles final match in TNA Wrestling! Plus, there are 2 steel cage matches, The Bromans vs Eric Young & Joseph Park and more!

All timer episode!
I remember actively watching this TNA episode live. I thought they were doing the common 'loser leaves' trope for AJ and then he just.. never came back, and started rocking in Nooj
This one was awesome. Had to rewind and watch the Bubba realization multiple times.
I listened to this full episode two times when it first came out the TNA and Impact episodes are like the favorite ones you guys do. Also Sting has his last match Impact match like the next week after this episode.
I really love these episodes where the show was a monumental point for the bois or had a huge effect goin forward always gets them a lil more emotional
Allen?
AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ AJ
Wwe superstar aj styles was in nwa-tna? Wow
i think aj says take your lips off her clit lmao
I’m on my shitty iPad like a five year old so trying to look stuff up is just me typing in stuff. It’s good that you named it Sumn and not Something Gonna Happen because that gets me results quicker
Very good podcast.
"D-VOOOOOOOONNNN.... FUCK HER RIGHT IN THE PUSSY!!!!"
When it comes to browsing the Patreon, I used the tag system, I also just search up particular shows or movies from the SGH that I want to rewatch. Been using Collections since they popped up.
Bobby Roode's finish here was called, I kid you not, The Roode Bomb. They were just like "Fuck it," with that one
the more you guys talk about TNA I'm glad I wasn't old enough to discover it
It's still alive, somehow, and even quite good these days! Trinity Fatu AKA Naomi is their women's champ!
Boy oh boy am I so glad that Gunner retired
Tony replying to Jawnny saying ‘Serg made Dixie’s theme’ by singing System of a down is so underrated.
That thumbnail is a primary example of how TNA treated AJ at the end of his tenure there.
Oh geez, I watched this not realizing this was AJ's last match with the company. That makes the ending even more insulting!
hear me out, next week you should look at the episode where he gets rid of sting magnus had a crazy gimmick of "if i win you leave and go to hell" and when he beat sting, dixie was dancing with the contract to his theme song that shit was so funny
The thumbnail is an all-timer.
That thumbnail perfectly sums up AJ's send off from TNA 😂.
Fantastic pod art
I remember watching this as a kid when it happened and being absolutely floored that they really killed AJ off he was one of my alltime favorites I remember bawling crying in front of my mom 💀 Then I found out about ring of honor channel surfing
insane thumbnail
Jesus Chris that thumbnail 😂😂😂
Let’s go. Going to be a fantastic show
