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!

“Powers Unite” on this episode of TNA Wrestling iMPACT! The Main Event Mafia teams up with Eric Young’s World Elite to wage war against TNA Wrestling. August 6th, 2009 is a HUGE night as it is one of the biggest riots in all of pro wrestling. Everyone in the locker room brawls and it spills outside into the parking lot.

January 18th, 1993 marks the HISTORIC 2nd episode of WWF Monday Night RAW. The Royal Rumble is coming up and we have a lot to promote. Including, The Repo Man stealing Macho Man Randy Savage’s hat. Yup, you heard me right, the entire episode revolves around Macho Man’s hat getting stolen. Also, Rob Bartlett is still here on commentary with some “comedy.” Plus, Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair build to a Loser Leaves The WWF match, a couple Superstars call in to commentary, and of course this is the Royal Rumble go home show!

We finally did it! The night that Goldust got ELECTROCUTED! IT’S HAPPENING! WWE RAW February 3rd, 2003 is historic for many different reasons. This show is the night Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, and Ric Flair call themselves “EVOLUTION!” As Randy Orton and Batista are looking for Scott Steiner backstage they run into Goldust. Goldust is very sad, as he just lost his tag team match with Booker T and they are no longer a team. Orton and Batista ask Goldust where Steiner is, but he refuses to answer. This pisses off Evolution and they beat the crap out of the gold one. They then throw Goldust into a power box and ELECTROCUTE HIM! This would send him into a spiral where he is never the same again! Also, Chris Jericho is battling Scott Steiner in the main event with the winner going on to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE No Way Out 2003!⦁ 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
The legendary promotion that is WXO Wrestling has its final show ever! This infamous company had one taping and 3 episodes! On this last show ever, Ted DiBiase opens up and says, “The buck stops here!” He then proceeds to book Adam Pearce and The Bodies in a 3 on 3 handicapped match against The Shane Twins in the main event! After that main event, we went backstage and commentator Stan Lane was attacked and laid out! We never find out who did it. Also on the show, The Dominator Feed Ottman wrestles, more footage from “The Egg Dome”, and Anthony Adonis vs Billy Fives!

1It’s 1995 and the Dungeon of Doom is running strong. They beat down Hulk Hogan and shaved off his mustache, now Hogan and Savage go to Venice Beach and talk about the Darkside with some random homeless man. Also, It is the most interactive Nitro of all time. Remember November 6, 1995 as the night you could call in for $0.99 and vote for the main event. We had The red locker room of Ric Flair, Meng, Diamond Dallas Page, “Blue Bloods” Lord Steven Regal and Earl Robert Eaton, Big Bubba Rogers, The Shark and Scott Norton! In the blue locker room was Sting, Johnny B Badd, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Dave Sullivan, Alex Wright, “The Nasty Boys” Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags and Mr JL! Vote for one person from the red locker room and one person from the blue locker room.

Do you smell that? Something stinks? What is that? Is that Nick Patrick from last Monday? No, it’s Rikishi after his famous “pre-match ritual.” Who’s he got anyway? He’ll be backing that ass up on Booker-T on the January 10th, 2002 episode of WWF SmackDown! Plus, Stone Cold Steve Austin “WHAT?!” chants are in full effect and that pisses Kurt Angle off. So much so that he challenges Stone Cold to a match in the main event.

It’s the final NWA TNA Wrestling PPV before moving to Fox Sports for a weekly show and PPVs every month. September 8th, 2004 is a turning point for the company.

WWF was hitting all timer moments around this time and October 12th, 1998 is no different. It all started with Stone Cold driving a zamboni to the ring, then attacking Mr. McMahon in the hospital. Tonight, he is invited personally to Monday Night RAW by Mr. McMahon. To prove it’s business as usual Mr. McMahon drives a corvette to the area and leaves the bay doors open. Stone Cold Steve Austin arrives to the building in a cement truck. As you can expect, he pours the cement into Mr. McMahon’s prized vehicle. This created one of the greatest visuals of all time as the windows litterall bust and glass goes everywhere. Also, Triple H got hurt and they had to vacate the IC title. This leads to a one night tournament that will crown a new champion. Plus, Goldust returns, the Tag Team Titles are on the line, and this is the go home show to WWF Judgment Day.⦁ 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

January 1st, 1996 WWF decided to compete with the College Football Championships! It’s the first and last WWF RAW Bowl! The show is football themed with commentary making a million stupid references. The ring looks like a football field, the ref is dressed like a line judge, and a collegiate band in the crowd. The first match is a multiple man tag team match with unique rules. The winner of this will get the “Lombardi Trophy!” Also, a replay of the Arkansas Hog Pen match between Triple H and Henry O Godwin! The main event featured a very short match between Diesel and King Mabel! Plus, the show ends with the first ever “Wrestling War Room” skit poking fun at WCW, The Hukster, and the Nacho Man!⦁ 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

TNA Wrestling has had a ton of huge milestones in the entire history of the company but moving to Thursday nights might have been one of the biggest for them. On April 13, 2006 TNA Wrestling moved Impact from Saturday to Thursday in a trial that would eventually lead to primetime. This first episode may be one of the best examples of what TNA really was. It truly is a 60 minute adrenaline rush. They open the show with Christopher Daniels defending his X-Division Championship against Samoa Joe. Joe was unstoppable at this time, never pinned or submitted. The match is already in progress and Christopher Daniels is bleeding everywhere. Because they were not in primetime yet, they could get away with blood right at the start. This match is probably one of the best TV matches in company history and we only get to see half of it. Sting challenged Jeff Jarrett to a match on Impact and this will be his first TV match in 5 years, since WCW closed the doors. Also they are on the Road To TNA Lockdown 2006 and the Lethal Lockdown match!⦁ 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

November 8th, 2004 WWE Monday Night RAW is remembered forever as the night the Snitskiy did the unthinkable! This was the night that Snitsky punted a baby! Lita was in the ring during “Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel” segment with Trish Stratus. That’s when Snitsky came out to the ring with a baby in his arms. He mocked Lita for a miscarriage she had recently. He then proceeded to kick the baby into the crowd in the punt heard around the world. Also, Survivor Series is right around the corner with team Triple H vs Team Randy Orton. Eric Bischoff announces that the winner of this match will have control over Monday Night Raw for 4 weeks.

August 30th, 1994 is the night the ECW Revolution began. On ECW TV, there was a tournament to crown a new NWA World Champion. The finals came down to 2 Cold Scorpio and Shane Douglas with Shane Douglas winning the match. After the match Douglas cuts a legendary promo and throws the NWA belt on the ground.

Also on the show Tommy Dreamer loses a Singapore Caning Match against The Sandman and has to take 10 shots to the back! This moment made Tommy Dreamer’s entire career! ⦁ 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
We’re going back to November 23rd, 1998! The Corporation is running strong in the WWF after The Rock was named “The Corporate” WWF Champion! On this episode of Monday Night RAW, Mr. McMahon names a new “impartial” commissioner to the World Wrestling Federation! It is none-other than the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels.

WXO Wrestling! What does the X stand for? I don’t know! Yes, it's the second episode of WXO Wrestling! On this episode we get promised footage of Johnny Ace and Mike Barton wrestling in Japan at the Tokyo Egg Dome, however this is clearly not the Egg Dome! This includes the infamous Johnny Ace promo that makes zero sense! Also, Fred Ottman arrives in WXO Wrestling only to be stuck inside of his tiny sports car! All this and more as WXO Wrestling wants to be the family friendly alternative of the year 2000!

October 14th, 1999 is one of the most historic days in the legacy of WCW Thunder. Vince Russo is on his way to WCW, so this is Kevin Nash’s last night as booker of WCW. Not only that but he is going to join commentary for the entire show. This episode ends up being a master class in wrestling comedy. For better or worse Kevin Nash shoots this entire show and ends up burying most of the roster, however, it’s hilarious. As far as the show goes, Nash says half of the roster didn’t show up so they had to book it on the fly earlier today. La Park comes out to help Buff Bagwell and ends up in the main event tag team match. We do get progression of the Total Package Buff Bagwell feud. You will never predict in a million years how this show ends.⦁ 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
