Recorded from Japan, James and Johnny take you to the June 21, 1999 episode of WWF Monday Night Raw. It's the chaotic go home show before King of the Ring 1999. The Corporate Ministry is falling apart, so much so that The Undertaker and Triple H battle in the main event! While the match is going on The Rock crashes the party. As chaos ensues The Rock is able to put Paul Bearer on a giant Brahma Bull symbol. Much like when The Undertaker Symbolized Stone Cold. Also, HBK is laying down stipulations as commissioner, and Stone Cold brawls the Big Bossman in a wild match that ends with beers and broken ladders. Plus, Val Venis tattoos Prince Albert's butt and Big Show tries vehicular manslaughter on Hardcore Holly. All this and more as DEADLOCK takes you back to the past.⦁ 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 finish up the DEFINITIVE REVIEW of Survivor Series 1988! I am once again joined by my brother Jesse, as we talk the second half of the PPV event. First, it's Team Jake "The Snake" & "Hacksaw" Duggan vs. Team Andre the Giant & Dino Bravo. Jake's revenge on Rick Rude, Andre's phobia, the return of Harley Race, Mr. Perfect's streak, Vince's obsession with protecting Dino Bravo, Hacksaw always avoiding pinfalls when eliminated, Ken Patera finishing up, Scott Casey replacing a replacement, & more. Then it's onto the main event when Team Mega Powers meet Team Twin Towers. We discuss the odd choices to fill out the teams, and the even odder showdowns in the ring. A Hillbilly and his ROOSTER. The slave/master battle continues between Hercules and the Million Dollar Man. King Haku shines. It's a double schmoz for the Boss Man & Akeem as they put down the Mega Powers but find themselves eliminated. While Randy Savage battles for survival, the Hulkster & "pickpocket" Miss Elizabeth overcome the "Dr. of Style" Slick's antics on the outside. We breakdown the finish of the match, and Hogan's need to pose versus checking on his partner. Then, an exclusive interview as Jesse Ventura questions Macho Man's feelings towards Hulk Hogan. Randy denies any issues, but Ventura sees it differently.

Ryan and Cindy celebrate the Thanksgiving tradition, Survivor Series 1999! The cartoon super-villain ways of the Big Boss Man continues, as he begins feuding with the Big Show because the Big Show's dad (not Andre) is dying from cancer. The reformed DX and their difference now as a heel group to protect the World Champ Mankind shifting from the Rock to Al Snow and the deterioration of his in-ring abilities. Having main-event level Survivor Series matches on Smackdown and then not having the new heel faction take part in a Survivor Series match. The Survivor Series starting with four pimps against the Dudley Boyz and Acolytes. The debut of Kurt Angle and how his character is played. A confusing Survivor Series match with the classic team of Gangrel and Steve Blackman! Steve Austin gets run over by a car and the reason behind his year long absence. Chris Jericho getting cheered, despite heeling it up against Chyna. The Big Show dominating his tag match, but not getting his hands on the Big Boss Man. The World Title match and the surprise third entrant into the match. We end with a look at the first Thanksgiving Day Smackdown, leading to the first Smackdown food fight. Enjoy!

Ryan and Cindy end up the summer of 1999 with a look at SummerSlam 1999. We go to Minnesota and to this point, the only time a sitting Governor referees a main event. Among the many topics: The millennium clock hits 0 and the WWF is never, ever the same again! A very confusing #1 contendership going into SummerSlam. A run-down of Jesse Ventura's career and how he rose to political prominence. Once again, Debra wearing the good outfit at PPV and her pulling a fast one along with Mark Henry to help Jeff Jarrett. The tag turmoil match and the steady rising of the Edge/Christian-Hardy Boys feud A fun (Ryan's words, not Cindy's) hardcore match between Al Snow and the Big Boss Man that takes it to the streets of Minnesapolis. The final end to the Steve Blackman/Ken Shamrock feud, in a Lion Den's Weapons match. A very fun Shane McMahon (!) Test (!!!) match in a Love Her or Leave Her match, including the Mean Street Posse in their Hawaiian shirt attires. The Unholy Alliance dominates the Tag Team title scene. The Rock just stuck Mr. Ass's head in that large woman's ass! An entertaining enough, yet still slightly disappointing main event, including the surprising ending to both the match and the show. Triple H finishing his story the night after SummerSlam. The debut of Smackdown featuring HBK turning heel and then quickly disappearing for 8 months. The formation of the Rock n' Sock Connection, including a wild Buried Alive match featuring Triple H standing tall, until Steve Austin makes his triumphant, attempted murder return. Enjoy the show!
“Big Boss Man,” an old song by blues legend Jimmy Reed, still packs a potent political punch for today’s working class:
In this episode of PWTorch Dailycast series "Acknowledging WWE," Kevin Duncan and Javier Machado cover the following topics:Has there ever been a WWE strategy board game?The sad truth about being a fan of board games in Florida.Should Bron Breakker have steamrolled Sami?Does anyone care about the 2 out of 3 falls match between Sami and Breakker?Reactions to the wrestling debut of the Wyatt Sicks.Are the Wyatt Sicks the new centerpiece faction replacing The Judgment Day?How excited are we for the era of Nia Jax?How dumb was Punk at Summerslam?What could Drew do with all of this hype behind the bracelet?L.A. Knight's dim field of possible heel opponents on Smackdown.Was Cody vs. Solo lost in the Reigns hype?Did Solo hold his own on the big stage?What could Jacob Fatu's injury mean for the faction?WarGames match predictions.Was Rhea's shoulder-out-of-socket gimmick just a rehash of a redone angle?Was Dom being in cahoots with Liv too obvious and heavy-handed?Punk's absolutely pointless Monday Night Raw promo.Damian Priest steals the show at Summerslam.Big Boss Man makes his weekly cameo.And more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210/support.
