    Revisiting WWE SmackDown! 2003 The Debut Of Mr. America, Los Guerreros Steal Kurt Angle’s Medals, Big Show Is A Bully

    AMERICA! HECK YEAH! The Debut of Hulk….UM...Mr. America happened on May 1st, 2003 and it was iconic! Stephanie McMahon signed a mystery person, sight unseen! She was so set on beating Eric Bischoff that she never even met the person who was going to wrestle on SmackDown! When she finally goes into his locker room she doesn’t like what she sees, however we don’t know who it is. At the end of the night Roddy Piper hosts Piper's Pit and we learn who Mr. America is! He personifies America and sort of looks like Hulk Hogan, but he swears that he isn’t! Mr. McMahon comes out and tries to fire him. Turns out he has an iron clad contract and can’t be fired or suspended! Also, we are getting fallout from WWE Backlash! Los Guerreros stole the WWE Tag Team Titles from Team Angle! They do give them back, but then they steal Kurt Angle’s Gold Medals! Plus, Big Show has been a bully recently and Brock Lesnar isn’t going to stand for it! Big Show says, “Not tonight!” They will fight another day! All this and more as SmackDown! rolls on! ⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com

    Revisiting ECW Hardcore TV 1996 Cactus Jack’s Final ECW Match, Taz vs Jericho, Raven Defends ECW Title VS The Franchise

    It’s the March 26th, 1996 episode of ECW Hardcore TV featuring matches from ECW Big Ass Extreme Bash. It’s the final match for Cactus Jack in ECW before he goes to the WWF. He is facing his former tag team partner Mikey Whipwreck. Everyone is very grateful for Cactus Jack's time in ECW and he gets a very nice send off! “The Orange and Black Attack” Taz takes on Chris Jericho is a great match. This is unique as the ref stops the match after Chris Jericho hurts his neck. However, Jericho wants to continue the match, so it is restarted! Also, in the main event, Raven defends the ECW World Championship against “The Franchise” Shane Douglas. This features tons of shenanigans involving The Bruise Brothers, Stevie Richards, Blue Meanie, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, and Kimona Wanalaya.

    Revisiting WWF RAW 1998 Hawk Falls Off Titantron, The Rock Corporate WWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin Screwed

    Fall out from WWF Survivor Series 1998 takes place on the November 16th, 1998 edition of WWF Monday Night RAW. The Rock is the new WWF Champion after becoming Corporate and screwing over Stone Cold and Mankind at the PPV. While Shane McMahon was tricking everyone to think he was on Stone Cold’s side he booked a match between Stone Cold and The Rock a few weeks ago for the WWF Championship. So the main event was signed in a legally binding contract for The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin! Also, Hawk of the Road Warriors, is battling personal demons. He climbs up the Titantron during a match and claims he is going to end it all. Droz then climbs up the side of the truss and tries to help him. Or did he push him off? You be the judge of that. Plus, Mankind is hiding in the Boiler Room and it’s up to the Stooges to go find him and try to talk to him after he got screwed! ⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com

    Revisiting WCW Nitro 2000 Viagra On A Pole Match, Sting Burned In Coffin, Booker T’s Fighting Spirit As World Champion

    All things are well in WCW on the July 31st, 2000 episode of Nitro. Booker T is the fighting babyface WCW World Champion and Vince Russo is in charge… Okay well maybe not everything is good. The main “highlight” from this show was a throw away segment featuring a “Viagra on a Pole” Match. Billy Kidman is huge, while The Franchise Shane Douglas has problems getting it up in the bedroom. That’s literally why the match is happening. They hang Viagra on a pole and whoever gets it, wins. Speaking of gimmick matches, Kevin Nash battles Scott Steiner in a “Straight Jacket” Match. Put your opponent in a straight jacket and you decide when you are tired of beating them up. And as previously mentioned Booker T is the fighting WCW Champion, but Jeff Jarrett hurt his leg badly with a Figure Four. As fighting champion he says he will face Sting for the belt, as he was previously supposed to have the match. Booker T’s wife gets hit with a guitar by Jeff Jarrett and has to go to the hospital. Booker returns and has his match with Sting. However, chaos ensues as Double J hangs Booker by his leg and hits it with a guitar. Also, Sting gets burned alive inside a coffin by Vampiro and The Kiss Demon!

    Remember that time someone got on the SmackDown! fist? Me either. However, on the September 30th, 2004 episode of WWE SmackDown!, Heidenreich would climb up on the SmackDown! fist. Everyone was in shock as to what he was going to do up here. Would he jump off? No, he decided to read poetry about how he is going to destroy the world. Alight dude. Leading into No Mercy 2004 JBL and The Undertaker have a Last Ride Match! As JBL is in the ring after a match, Orlando Jordan appears in the air, “symbolized” by The Undertaker! Also, we are one week removed from Kurt Angle shooting The Big Show with a tranquilizer gun! The Big Show is now BALD!
