The last WCW Nitro before nWo's first and only PPV, Souled Out 1997! The show opens from the sold-out United Center in Chicago, with Macho Man storming the ring and holding the show hostage. He hijacks Nitro and says he's not leaving until someone with major stroke comes out. Amidst the chaos, we see intense confrontations with Chavo Guerrero Jr. and others, leading to a thrilling showdown with Sting. Sting comes down from the rafters for the very first time! Also, Masahiro Chono betrayed NJPW and joined the nWo and matches featuring Chris Jericho, the American Males, and a chaotic brawl between Kevin Sullivan and Chris Benoit. Plus, dissension between the 4 Horsemen as they aren't on the same page. All this and more as nWo hosts Souled Out this Sunday!⦁ 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

This episode was originally released in September of 2021. We're re-releasing it as a classic episode it as Fumi and Justin take a week off to regroup for the new year. Justin's notes from the original episode on Patreon:“On this week's episode of Write That Down!, Fumi and I talked about the Three Musketeers of NJPW: Keiji Muto, Masahiro Chono, and Shinya Hashimoto. Each musketeer had their own distinct style and personality in the ring, and outside of the ring, each would end up leading very different career paths.“We talked at length about all three NJPW superstars, though our discussion was centered on Chono and Hashimoto especially, as we covered Muto's career in great detail during our four-part series earlier this year.Fumi explained how Chono picked up his storytelling wrestling from none other than “Bulldog” Bob Brown (of all wrestlers) and recommends some of Chono's best bouts. We also spoke at length about Hashimoto's program with Judo silver medalist Naoya Ogawa and how, with hindsight, we can now view Hashimoto as the inadvertent “first sacrifice” of Japan's pro wrestling Dark Ages, plus lots more.” Join the Patreon for just $5.00 per month here: https://www.patreon.com/fightgamemedia Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fightgamemedia Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1958473677605950 Follow our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fightgamemedia Subscribe to our YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/c/FightGameMedia Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightgamemedia Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode, Fumi & Justin focused on the one & only MASAHIRO CHONO. After debuting after dozens of wrestlers left NJPW for Japan Pro Wrestling and the first incarnation of UWF, Chono, alongside fellow Three Musketeers Keiji Muto & Shinya Hashimoto, rose to the zenith of his popularity during his time as active in-ring performer during the mid-90s. Chono forged a distinct career path over the years, traveling up and down Eastern coast of North America and throughout Germany & Austria early on, where he really began to grow into the iconic figure fans are familiar with today.

Kris & David are back with another Patron-requested episode of BTS, as our guest Patron Tyler Gignac (@Tyler_Gignac) wanted us to talk about the week that was November 9-15, 1997. The reason why he picked this week was because it featured the first ever WWF live event he ever went to in his life in Barrie, Ontario, which was also the first ever WWF show in that city, period.We start with the WWF what's naturally a crazy section because we talk about Survivor Series '97, though like last week we don't go in-depth on the Bret Hart drama outside of Tyler giving his thoughts on the situation. We also talk about Raw the next night featuring Shawn Michaels going wild, the Raw taping the night after that, and house shows attended by both Tyler (Barrie) and Bix (MSG) that week. Again, there's a lot to talk about here, so you don't want to miss this.We then go international. where Masahiro Chono gives a worked shoot interview to Tokyo Sports putting over All Japan, we actually have IWA Kokusai results for once and get to talk about VIOLENCE REVENGER, and new joshi promotions are starting up in the form of NEO and Arsion. Then we go to Latin America, talking about early Toryumon guys at Arena Mexico, Fake Razor Ramon feuding with Carlos Colon in Puerto Rico, and a lot more.Then, after a very short U.S. indie section, we close with WCW, talking about Starrcade ticket sales booming, Eric Bischoff announcing Bret Hart's impending arrival live on Nitro (which was a crazy show in of itself), and Hulk Hogan getting worried about the political ramifications of Bret coming in.Another 1997 show in the books and this is one you can't miss!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF1:38:39 Eurasia: AJPW, NJPW, BJPW, DDT, FMW, Fuyuki Army, IWA Kokusai, Michinoku Pro, Kingdom, NEO/Arsion announcements, AJW, JWP, LLPW, & CWA1:59:18 Classic Commercial Break2:03:32 Halftime2:35:01 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, IWRG, Promo Azteca, Tijuana, & WWC2:50:03 Other USA: ECW, MEWF, IWAMS, & Music City3:00:03 WCW3:49:54 Patreon Preview: May Bret Hart's actual pre-Survivor Series column for the Calgary Sun please stand up?To support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Ever watched a Japanese TV show before, if you have then you will understand this week's intro all too well, if you haven't then you are in for a treat. This week we discuss, at length, a TV show that gave Masahiro Chono mainstream exposure and why he stole that show. The match this week features a rather unusual one from the Tokyo Dome where Chono takes on Chyna who was freshly released from the WWE following a bizarre set of circumstances. Although this is far from a classic there are a few interesting moments we cover in great detail. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sixmantagpodcast/support
