    Revisiting WWF Superstars of Wrestling 1991 - Jake Roberts' Snake Bites Macho Man!
    Apr 21 2026
    "GET RANDY SAVAGE OUTTA' THERE!"

    One of the most insane moments to take place in pro-wrestling history not only happened on television, but it was long before the WWF had an 'attitude'!

    On this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at this episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling from November 23, 1991, where Jake "The Snake" Roberts unleashes his deadliest attack on "Macho Man" Randy Savage. With Macho Man trapped in the ropes, Jake Roberts brought a King Cobra over to him just so it could take a big bite out of Macho Man's arm! Censored on some stations, uncensored on others, this was one of the craziest things to happen on WWF TV.

    We're also on the road to WWF Survivor Series 1991, which took place on the Wednesday following this episode of Superstars of Wrestling. The biggest match on the card is the "Gravest Challenge", which puts current WWF Champion Hulk Hogan against The Undertaker. We hear from both of them, especially The Undertaker, throughout the night.

    Speaking of Survivor Series, you can't have a Survivor Series without the traditional Survivor Series matches! Survivor Series! We hear from various teams on this show, like the team of the Legion of Doom & Big Bossman, as well as the team of Ric Flair, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, The Mountie, and The Warlord!

    We do get some wrestling on this show, as well! Many of the best enhancement talent in the world step up to the plate here, to take on the likes of "El Matador" Tito Santana, Skinner and Texas Tornado. Bret Hart also defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Big Bully Busick!

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

  • Revisiting WWF RAW Is WAR 1999 - The Rock, The British Bulldog, & The Dog Poop

    Revisiting WWF RAW Is WAR 1999 - The Rock, The British Bulldog, & The Dog Poop
    Apr 14 2026
    "INTO THE DOG POOP! THE DOG POOP!"

    Some moments just last the tests of time, and somehow, this is one of them for us. On this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast, we take a look back at this episode of WWF RAW is WAR from October 11, 1999. We're less than a week away from WWF No Mercy, which means we have to cram as much as possible into this show, as well as SmackDown!, before the PPV. We're also in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia, so the WWF is ready to take as many shots at WCW as possible!

    In our main event, that is announced halfway through the show, The Rock & Sock Connection of The Rock & Mankind will team up to take on The British Bulldog & Val Venis, who had just attacked Mankind earlier in the night. The Rock has plans for his opponent at WWF No Mercy, The British Bulldog, and those plans involve a group of bulldogs spending the night in the arena, so he can collect ALL of their dog poop. Yes, The Rock came up with this plan, just so he could hit The British Bulldog with The Rock Bottom onto a tray of dog poop.

    Also on this show, Jim Ross has his first wrestling match ever. We couldn't believe it either! Triple H has pushed JR over the edge, causing him to attack him from behind. Stone Cold Steve Austin gave an assist to take out Triple H, leading to Triple H & Chyna both challenging Stone Cold & JR to a tag match tonight.

    There is somehow so much more on this show. We get an update on Stephanie McMahon's condition after Bulldog accidentally threw a STEEL TRASH CONTAINER at her head. Ivory has a non-title match against Mae Young. X-Pac doesn't want Kane's help, as he goes one-on-one with Faarooq. The New Brood of Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy take on Edge & Christian in another Terri Invitational Tournament match. The Big Show gets some horrible news, and The Big Bossman is here to make it worse.


    All of that, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

  • Revisiting TNA iMPACT 2007 - Kurt Angle Interrogates The Roster To Find Sting's Mystery Partner!

    Revisiting TNA iMPACT 2007 - Kurt Angle Interrogates The Roster To Find Sting's Mystery Partner!
    Apr 7 2026
    The constantly paranoid Kurt Angle is back at it again, only slightly removed from the episode where he went to Sting's son's baseball game, and then attacked him in the parking lot. This time, Kurt is trying to figure out who is going to team up with Sting at TNA Genesis 2007, as he's been placed in a tag team match for his World Heavyweight Championship.

    Yes, that's right. The TNA World Championship is on the line in a tag team match on PPV. Kurt is teaming up with his now-rival, Kevin Nash, to take on Sting & a partner of Sting's choosing. Kurt has taken it upon himself, with help from his partner-in-crime "JB" Jeremy Borash, to interrogate the members of the TNA roster to find out who this mystery partner could be. From Jay Lethal, to Robert Roode, to Kip James & BG James, and everyone in-between, they all have to take a seat and get questioned by Kurt Angle.

    While this is going on, we do have some wrestling! The TNA World Tag Team Championships are on the line, as the current champions AJ Styles & Tomko take on LAX, Homicide & Hernandez. The Fight For Your Right tournament for a shot at the TNA World Championship is also going on, as we're onto the semi finals. James Storm is set to take on Kaz, and Christian Cage was meant to take on Junior Fatu (Rikishi), but he is not here. We do not know why. Does anyone want to tell us why?

    Kevin Nash is also on his own mission to find out who Sting's partner is at the PPV, and we check in on him through the night as he makes some phone calls to some "friends". One of them may or may not be X-Pac.

    Also, Team 3D continue their fight against the X-Division, now going after the Motor City Machine Guns of Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley. Awesome Kong also goes one-on-one with Christy Hemme, with her sights set on the TNA Knockout's Champion, Gail Kim. It also wouldn't be 2007 TNA without an appearance from BLACK REIGN!

    All of this, and SO much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

the best comedic wrestling podcast ever made. It's like OSW but more American and a lot more unhinged!

I like to listen to DPW the long way

Never have I laughed so hard listening to any podcast than I have hearing Jawwny, James, and Tony riff on multiple eras of wrestling from the 80s to the 2010s. Many podcasts are described as just hanging out with friends and talktbut this truely is just like hanging out with your buds and talking wrestling. The GOATs.

Tje greatest wrestling podcast ever, brother.
