Go through their feed and see if they watched a wrestling show you liked

Or fire up YouTube and watch a retro sync

If the algorithm finds out you want to watch deadlock, it will feed you nothing but deadlock, lol

Ed: yeah, the xwf episodes are great

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



For me I was predisposed to like it because of Jawnny but the first clip I saw was the sync of the Steiner shoot on Flair, and then what hooked me was an episode covering an era I vividly remember living through and watching - a Hogan-TNA episode. So find a show you know or at least know the era of and go wild.

The YouTube videos are better than the podcast itself, only because they get rid of a bunch of the bullshit and go straight into the funny recap.

I'd check out the retro syncs on their youtube channel, having some visual context behind the discussion is always fun and probably a good indicator of whether you'd want to hear more.

I think about the episode where they workshop Undertaker going to WCW, joining the Misfits In Action, breaking his leg Sid style, getting his balls set on fire by Vampiro, then the bloodbath misses. A lot.

I loved the one with Kane being repackaged as Steve. I've never even seen a Kane promo or match but Johnny's Kane voice saying "Seeeaaaan, why weren't you here on time they won't let me be green Seeeaaaan" had me dying

Here's the Steve Austin Steveamania promo from the end of this week's deadlock episode recorded with a camera pointed at a tv as it should be.

I'm one of the freaks they were wondering about this week who got into the podcast from DPW. I just knew Deadlock as a local promotion, only after my second show did I look into it at all. Then a bunch of retrosyncs started populating my Youtube recommendations and that was that.

The bit that really sold me on the show was Stone Cold trying to save JR from Kane:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrQFk2Rn4E8

"I'm glad Stone Cold Steve Austin has been trained in hostage negotiations. The glass breaks, he grabs the mic: NOW LISTEN TO ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

lol I forgot about the turn when they start doing JR trying to talk Kane down. "Don't listen to him. He is bald, he is so drunk..."

Is that UFC tier actually a thing they're doing and not a joke? They haven't watched UFC 4 yet either way but I don't see a new tier either unless they plan on including it in the dpw tier.

Okay I got a brain buster for you all

When did they first start calling all promo segments a (x) “town hall” on deadlock

It still makes me giggle a good 1 out of every 3 times I hear it

Didn't AEW do a segment with Jericho and Orange(?) that was literally called a town hall? I think it was Bischoff's only appearance in that company.

edit: n/m it was with MJF during the Inner Circle days:

Probably cause they were still reviewing AEW around the time Jericho was having weekly Town Hall segments
