It's WCW Thunder in the year 2000 and you know what that means, it's Vince Russo time! On the July 26th, 2000 episode of WCW Thunder, the show opens with the commissioner The Cat getting attacked by the Jung Dragons. This causes the limo driver, MI Smooth, to get pissed and challenge them to a match later that night. The Filthy Animals take on 3 Count, Big Vito battles Lance Storm for the Hardcore Title, and Judy Bagwell wrestles Positively Kanyon! Also, Billy Kidman plays a VHS tape between Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson where Shane Douglas couldn't get it up. Plus, Goldberg sits down and shoots on turning heel in WCW, tells everyone how he doesn't like wrestling, and that Kevin Nash was booked to beat him. It's a crazy messed up world in WCW on Thunder with Vince Russo booking the entire catastrophe.⦁ 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

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! Plus, the DEADLOCK $5 Q&A returns!⦁ 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 have constantly mentioned some of the poor decisions World Championship Wrestling have made in the year 2000, but for this edition of 'The Great American Bash' we see somewhat of a new strategy from the company. A mix of old and new sees Hulk Hogan take on Billy Kidman, Sting go up against Vampiro, and Ric Flair in a battle with his son David Flair - but can it end the horrible run of WCW Pay Per Views?
This week Jake and Joey talk the week of October 4, 2004 in the WWE Women's Division. The boys talk Lita's first sit-down interview since losing her baby, Carmella DeCesare returning to WWE, Christy Hemme kissing Eugene, Stacy Keibler taking on Molly Holly, Trish Stratus on commentary, Hiroko at ringside, Miss Jackie being attacked by Billy Kidman, Gail Kim going one on one with Victoria, Jazz at ringside and more!

Yes...this is THAT SHOW. Not only did the main event of the secondary show involve a tag-team match for the WCW World Heavyweight Title, but a Hollywood actor pinned the President of the company to win the belt. Yup...this is all real. This would also be the third title change in less than 2 weeks. WCW was dead at this point, but this just really drove the knife in deeper, making sure that body was a corpse. Beyond this, we've got Ernest Miller in action against Bam Bam Bigelow, Billy Kidman continuing his feud with Hulk Hogan (through ANOTHER Hogan), Sting in a Tables match against The Wall (that actually happened), Tammy (AKA, Sunny) "wrestles" against Paisley (AKA, Sharmell), and everyone gets a run-in and an afterbirth to their matches. In the news, we discuss controversies over the WWF's TV deals, a WCW wrestler facing a WWF wrestler for the ECW Title in ECW, Tazz getting buried in WWF, and WCW continuously crapping the bed at every turn on both TV and PPV.

The year is 2004 and it's the 5th Anniversary of WWE SmackDown! Kurt Angle has been dealing with The Big Show for a long time as he was thrown off the balcony and put out of action. Angle tells us himself that tonight we will see a moment that will live on forever in the history of WWE SmackDown! To get his revenge on The Big Show, Angle decides that he is going to shoot him! Angle pulls a Tranquilizer gun out, pulls the trigger and shoots Big Show in the back. He then pulls out the biggest scissors ever along with clippers and proceeds to shave the giants head!

Please, bro, just let Rey Misterio Jr. and Billy Kidman be in a normal tag team match, bro. It'll be fun, bro, I promise. C'mon, they'll do flippy shit, bro, it's so cool. Bro, please, they just want to be friends and put on good matches, bro. They let Goldberg do this thing in this episode, bro, why not the tag champs? Bro, does Fit Finley not like Buff Bagwell, bro? Hak is over, bro, why do we pretend he didn't get over? Bro, and Booker T defended his TV title but they won't let Rey and Kidman defend theirs? Bro, please, let them tag!

In the aftermath of Uncensored '99, this pre-taped Thunder saw the commentary team let loose with their quips and bits during a very inconsequential episode. The US title tournament continues with Booker T facing off against freaky guy Saturn. In a cruiserweight dream match, Billy Kidman and Blitzkrieg go one-on-one. Fit Finlay and Chris Adams put on a clinic in what would be their only singles match against one another. In the main event, Ric Flair defends the WCW World Heavyweight championship against Barry Windham. Follow us on Instagram @GetItAgainPodcast Got 2 (or more) words for us?

Starrcade was always WCW's premier event. So, it's obvious Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, Booker T. and the Steiners were all there. WRONG. All were missing. But. there was Goldberg vs Kevin Nash. And this was the night the streak would end at the hands of "Big Sexy." Was this the biggest turning point in WCW? Go down "memory lane" with Conrad and Tony as they discuss not only the main event, but also Ric Flair vs Eric Bischoff, DDP vs the Giant and a thrilling three way match featuring Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio, Jr. (and then Eddie Guerrero). Welcome to the end of 1998 where the end of WCW is in sight.
