Marsh and I return from our Holiday break to begin the final 7 episodes of the original PWS run! We discuss the movie The Iron Claw, The Rock's return to WWE and the recent goings on with AEW before going back in time to pull some classic clips from the past. Don Laible joins us in the studio back in 1994 - having come to NY for the weekend to attend the ECW event in Philadelphia, and the autograph show that we attended that same weekend in New Jersey. Bob Orton is also on the show and discusses his 14 year old son Randy in a fascinating part of the interview! Brian Last calls in with a lengthy report from the NWA tournament promoted by Dennis Coraluzzo, which makes for another very cool part of this show. Lots of callers, promos, and classic commercials. And the answer to the question that has driven Arezzi nuts over the past several weeks, involving identifying the music a caller from 29 years played as a prank. This week you get the answer lol!

We are 9 nights away from WWE Armageddon 2005 and Randy Orton calls out The Undertaker. Instead of answering Randy Orton, The Undertaker plays mind games on him.

Also, On the road to Armageddon 2005 Rey Mysterio and Batista team up to defeat JBL and Orlando Jordan, The Boogeyman goes crazy, and Benoit & Booker T continue their Best of Seven series!⦁ 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.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5810608/advertisement

On this week’s episode of The PWR Podcast....We take you back to January 14, 2018 episode 18… The boys reviewed the 1st ever WWF Staurday Night’s Main Event! “The Professor” Chabelo Vera Cruz, Tommy Wonder one of the PWR originals "Mr. Gimmick” Travis Veoltz relive this classic WWF/E event!Saturday Night's Main Event, debuted on May 11, 1985 in the late-night time slot normally assigned to reruns of the NBC sketch comedy Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night's Main Event is a sports entertainment television program that was produced by the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE). Premiering in 1985, the program originally aired on NBC as an occasional replacement for Saturday Night Live on its weekend broadcast schedule. The program aired on an infrequent basis on NBC until 1991, then aired twice on Fox in 1992 before coming to an end. At the time of the original airing, it was a rare example of professional wrestling being broadcast on an over-the-air commercial television network after the 1950s. It coincided with and contributed to the apogee of the "second golden age" of professional wrestling in the United States. In a time when weekly programming consisted primarily of established stars dominating enhancement talent, Saturday Night's Main Event was made up almost entirely of star vs. star bouts, including title matches and specialty matches such as steel cage matches, handicap matches, etc. When WWE's flagship show, Raw returned to the USA Network in 2005, Saturday Night's Main Event was revived in 2006 as a "special series" to air on occasion on NBC as part of a deal between WWE and NBC Universal. The Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brand rosters were featured on the show.On this historic cardyou will hear about these awesome matches!Barry Windham, Mike Rotundo & Ricky Steamboat (w/Captain Lou Albano) vs. George Steele, Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik (w/Freddie Blassie)!
