DEADLOCK Podcast #231 (Video)
On the road the WCW Great American Bash! The main event features Scott Hall and Kevin Nash vs Rowdy Roddy Piper and Ric Flair! Before going into this match there was supposed confusion on what was going to happen! This led to a huge fight backstage after the show was off air. Both Kevin Nash and Roddy Piper were allegedly upset which led to a big brawl. Depending on who tells the story, the outcome was different. Also, WCW was winning the Monday Night War and this show tells us why. Tons of great matches including, a lucha libre rules tag match, Hollywood Hogan vs Lex Luger, and even Akira Hokuto wrestlers. They were on fire. Plus, in the main event The Outsiders vs Piper and Flair that leads to a huge brawl with the entire locker room fighting it out. It’s anarchy….and that it’s we’re all out of time!

glad the package made it to yall safe and sound!!
This is an episode that I just can't remove from future context. Because if you didn't know WCW died because of stuff that happened in this episode, of course it's going to feel exciting. Maybe WCW will finally get one on that dastardly nWo! But the endless nWo bullshit, the complete Luger burial, the awful main event, etc. The writing was starting to appear on the wall. EDIT: Also, the TV journalist thing was probably a very weird stretch leading into the weekly Bobby Heenan weasel joke - since Heenan's gimmick for his entire career that he claimed to be a legitimate broadcast journalist.
This nitro happened on my 1st birthday that’s crazy
Are they really retiring at episode 300? I’m not sure if they were joking or not haha
Yes it's true, once jawnnys shitty little dick was blown up in the penis exploding machine the writing was on the wall.
Jawnny's Jimmy Hart impersonation is never not fucking amazing
Back with more details on shitty 1997 WWF, I've taken a break from watching as I do not want to see Vince McMahon right now, BUT, the Great Sasuke does come in, and goes over Taka repeatedly. I assume they must have been unable to reach a long term deal or something, but they definitely pushed him like the big star at the start of the division. Everyone also refers to him as "The Great Sa-sook-eee" which is a delight
im sorry but i need who ever makes the deadlock animation to make hogan hyping up nash to kick roddys ass is legendary
James said my name correctly 😂 was hoping to hear Chris Loco but ill take it!
i am once again here to beg, plead, and lick balls that yall watch Sabu vs LA Park in MLW from 2002 King of Kings. They beat the FUCK out of each other, link here: https://youtu.be/3PiyAz8VwHg?si=j40eUujLspA4dIcN
With so much terrible news coming from everywhere I’m just happy to support the boys when they come back in townnnnn
Good to hear Johnny has my back
Damn the James AI is really impressive it almost like he's still with us
The boys didn't say my name last week or this week and I've been a patron for almost three weeks 😭 it's ok though. I'm sure there were so many names they just maybe skipped me. 🤷
Hi! This seems to be something that comes up from time to time, where people don't know that the name that gets shouted out is the name that you sign up with! We shouted out the name you signed up with (Bill Kinnamon) awhile ago. Thank you for the support, regardless!
damn two weeks in the row the boys watched good wrestling…what’s going on here?
I would pick Wrestle MPIRE.
Glad James recovered from his diverticulitis in the penis
brother had diverticulitis of the penis and super ligma of the balls
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWNNNNNN
All the boys are here :)
Awesome
Also the discord didn’t ping fyi
COULD IT BE
