DEADLOCK: A Pro Wrestling Podcast

"Where do we go from here?"

The boys are back in The Temple, as we are back to talk about some more Lucha Underground! We're onto Episode 5 of Season 1, which brings us a big main event. It's going to be Prince Puma taking on Big Ryck (and definitely not Mr. Cisco & Cortez Castro) in the first ever BOYLE HEIGHTS STREET FIGHT! No rules, only chaos.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. is hated by everyone. Not just here in Lucha Underground, but seemingly all over the world. Ever since he took out Blue Demon Jr, Chavo has had a target on his back from everyone in Mexico City. Tonight, Sexy Star looks to get her revenge in a one-on-one match, after Chavo betrayed her and bashed her head in with a steel chair.

Son of Havoc continues to look for his first win here in The Temple, with Ivelisse by his side. Dario Cueto has given him his biggest challenge yet; the legend himself, Mascarita Sagrada!

Drago got his first win in Lucha Underground against the debuting King Cuerno, and on this episode, we get to see if he can continue to stack up the wins against a man that has been undefeated thus far in The Temple; the man from beyond the grave, Mil Muertes! Of course, King Cuerno has his eyes on this one.

As mentioned, Prince Puma & Big Ryck have a crazy main event here, which includes one of the most insane dives of all time from Johnny Mundo!

Also, the return of the DEADLOCK Q&A!

All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"And if it wasn't for the chili I ate today, I wouldn't have spent 3 hours in the restroom!"

2008 is a special year in wrestling, especially for the WWE, and especially during this time. WWE just completed another Draft Lottery, where Superstars from RAW, SmackDown, and even ECW all made their way to different shows. But, that didn't come without controversy, as Vince McMahon had a whole stage fall on top of him, which has left RAW without a leader. This, of course, has lead to complete chaos on the show. Lighting rigs are falling, fans are running around backstage, and everyone is left to fend for themselves!

On this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we're taking a look back at one of the biggest moments of 2008, where John Cena, with the help of Cryme Tyme, destroy JBL's limo and spray-paint "JBL Is Poopy" on the hood. You remember it, we remember it, and now we all must re-live it.

Last week on RAW, JBL challenged CM Punk for the World Championship, but not before he had John Cena thrown out of the building, which leads to Cena getting his revenge back this week, with the help of Shad & JTG, to destroy & spray-paint his limo. The CTC is here! Maybe. For a couple weeks.

Also on RAW last week, CM Punk cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase for the first time, on Edge, and became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Punk now has a lot of targets, and tonight, we'll find out who the #1 contender is for his championship. After an opening segment that lasts forever, we have ourselves a main event; John Cena vs Batista vs JBL vs Kane in a fatal four way match to decide who will face CM Punk at the Great American Bash!

As mentioned, the WWE Draft Lottery took place, and we're going to see some of the newly drafted superstars make their debuts on RAW tonight. Kofi Kingston, who won the Intercontinental Championship from Chris Jericho at Night of Champions, takes on Charlie Haas, who wants to end his career. Rey Mysterio makes his RAW debut by taking on one of the top guys in the company, Santino Marella. Mickie James & the newest RAW Diva, Kelly Kelly, team up to take on Jillian Hall & the second newest RAW Diva, Layla. Snitsky, who is upset that CM Punk is the World Champion, gets a 1 on 1 non-title match against the champ.

All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"MTV stands for More Tazz Victims!"

On October 1st, 2000, Sunday Night Heat changed networks, as the WWF moved the show from the USA Network to MTV! You know when you're debuting on a new network, you have to bring it, and...they definitely brought a lot here.

The synergy between WWF & MTV immediately begins here, as we're introduced to two of the hosts of the show: DJ Skribble & Rebecca Buding! Their microphones don't work too great, but thankfully, Michael Cole & Tazz's mics work just fine. This is the first part-time gig for Tazz on commentary, and it seems like he's trying something new. For the entire episode. Non-stop.
 
We're promised some big matches here, including two title matches & a tables match! Dean Malenko, with the ladies, defends the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship against Taka Michinoku., and Eddie Guerrero defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Road Dogg. In our main event, we have a Tag Team Tables match between The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley) and the Right To Censor (The Goodfather & Bull Buchanan).

We're also joined by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who just happened to be in the neighborhood, and he wanted to see Disturbed play some loud music, so they do! Disturbed perform their Top-10 hit "Stupify", before Stone Cold tells them they should also play his theme song! Tazz has a lot to say about Stone Cold being here, on Tazz's show, and Austin confronts him about it by the end of the night.

All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"Your name is Hugh Morris...What?"

One word, said by one man, on one fateful night in 2001 changed wrestling audiences forever. On this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at the episode of WWF RAW Is War from August 13, 2001, where Stone Cold Steve Austin brings three members of the Alliance in, dresses them down, and introduces his new catchphrase..."What?"

We are in the middle of The Invasion, and The Alliance are getting ready to go to war with the WWF once again at Summerslam, which is 6 days away. Stone Cold Steve Austin tries to give The Alliance another pep talk, telling them that if they all want to be as famous as Stone Cold, they have to try a little harder. Especially, guys like Hugh Morris, Raven, & Taz. Austin brow beats the three of them, and physically beats Taz in the process. Taz, who Austin insists takes his shirt off so he can whip him with his belt, stands up for himself, which leads to members of ECW & WCW to jump him, and hold him down for Stone Cold to go to work on him.

In another famous segment in WWF history, Chris Jericho comes out to interrupt Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley & Rhyno, and proceeds to coin the phrase "Let The Boobies Hit The Floor". Jericho isn't alone, though, as the back & forth between Jericho & Stephanie brings out Booker T, as well as The Rock, who can't help himself when it comes to tossing around insults.

A few of the Alliance members take what Stone Cold said to heart earlier, like The Hurricane, who was once Shane Helms, and Shawn Stasiak, who was once known as Meat & Mr. Perfect. Shawn Stasiak promises Austin that he's going to make a statement tonight, but ends up running into a suit of armor in William Regal's office. Hurricane, on the other hand, steps up to Kurt Angle, who insults The Green Lantern. That just ends up with him getting launched across a table.

Speaking of Kurt Angle, The Alliance's Rob Van Dam challenged him to a WWF Hardcore Title match, and Kurt accepts! Also on this show, we have a bunch of matches, including some WWF vs WCW & ECW contests. Tajiri takes on Albert, Spike Dudley takes on Test, and Lance Storm & Justin Credible face Edge & Christian.

We also have two big matches on this one, as Kane & Undertaker team up to face Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire in a Steel Cage Match! Of course, in our main event, we see The Rock & Chris Jericho team up to take on Rhyno & Booker T.

All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

"I think you know the guy..."

We're on the road to WWF's Royal Rumble 2000, and we're right in the middle of the McMahon-Helmsley Era. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley are running the show, and have been trying to make everyone's lives miserable in the process. But, there may be one man that can stop his reign of terror as WWF Champion...

On this episode of WWF SmackDown from January 13, 2000, Mankind is officially back in the WWF. He had been fired by Triple H & Stephanie, and thanks to The Rock & the roster threatening to all quit the company, Mick Foley was reinstated. But, he's here tonight to let Triple H know that Mankind just isn't tough enough to face a guy like HHH, especially after what he did to him on RAW (putting him through the announce table with a pedigree). But, he does know a guy that is crazy enough to take his place, and that man...is CACTUS JACK! A legendary moment in WWF history.

D-Generation X also walked out on Triple H on Monday during an 8-Man Tag Team Match, and Triple H has decided that it's up to him to fix the problems within the group, so he books a few matches for tonight. The New Age Outlaws will compete in two separate Handicap, No Disqualification matches. One of them is against Bradshaw, and one of them is against Faarooq. If either of them interfere in the others match, they will lose their shot at the WWF Tag Team Championships at the Royal Rumble.

X-Pac, on the other hand, will team with Triple H tonight in the main event to face The Big Show & The Rock! Speaking of The Rock, he has an interview for the first time ever with the debuting Jonathan Coachman on this episode, in an all-timer segment.

We get a bunch of matches on this show, as well! Kurt Angle & Steve Blackman team up to face Edge & Christian. Too Cool & Rikishi team up to take on Hardcore Holly, Crash Holly & Al Snow. Gangrel goes one-on-one with Test, and The Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) take on the team of Big Bossman & Prince Albert! Somehow, that's not all. Godfather & D'Lo Brown team up to face The Headbangers, and Chris Jericho takes on Kane!

All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!
