DEADLOCK Podcast #230 (Video)
Before the WWF had officially gotten the scratch logo 1997 was having all timer moments. On RAW IS WAR Stone Cold Steve Austin was supposed to be banned from the building because Owen Hart had a temporary restraining order against him. Of course he doesn’t follow that and shows up anywhere. This leads to the very first Stone Cold Stunner to Vince McMahon! Also, Dude love is scheduled to face Triple H on a falls count anywhere match! He shows up on the titantron but he isn’t alone. He had Mankind and for the very first time in the WWF, Cactus Jack. This is the infamous 3 Faces Of Foley promo!

To answer Jawnny's question about Pillman, this was in fact his final Raw. He also had a match on Shotgun Saturday Night, and was on a house show losing streak loop with Goldust... and that was it for him.
Owen won the match by DQ because Goldust hit him first when he entered the ring.
Anyone else see Bret flip a fan off mid match
I think Ahmed cut his hand on the announce table. I don't know if there was a loose nail of something, but when he rolls out of the ring, he slaps his hand against the table and immediately starts selling it
I've been watching the 1997 Raws of late for some sick reason, and a couple notes relevant to this episode: They actually call LoD the Road Warriors A LOT. Especially Vince. They just always use LoD as the "official name", but several weeks in a row they'll say things like THE LEGION OF DOOOOOM THE ROAD WARRIORS HAWK AND ANIMAL!!! And JR brings up Brian Christopher being Lawler's son ALL THE TIME. As a kid I thought they kayfabed it and it was a smark thing to know, but JR spends months mentioning it almost every time King annoys him.
I'm hearing the boys are back in town? What are your thoughts on this development?
I realised I put the wrong show name for my Match of the Year in the Deadies - I wrote down ZSJ vs Bryan Danielson but I said it took place at All In, when it happened at Forbidden Door. I really hope I haven't fucked anything up or invalidated my whole ballot. So sorry for fuckin that up.
it aint that deep bruh it's one vote
In regards to the Shawn promo on Undertaker, it’s so funny how when they get to the match, Shawn is petrified of Taker and tries to escape the entire time😂 also the story of him fucking over British Bulldog in England is so fuckin’ egregious and messed up. Standard though for ‘97 HBK
So i'm imagining a backstage segment of Ahmed Johnson soaked with the baby oil and padded up, behind captain lou going "And when ya feel the pearl river plunge, ya go to hell before ya die!!"
captain lou albano, besides being known as the mario show guy and this, once cut a promo about drugs back when everyone was doing drug psas and had the crazy bar of "If you do drugs, you go to hell before you die." Found here: https://youtu.be/D8M8I2SYEiA?si=F1kjDdhELg8EHmRH
