23 JUN 2025 · YOU WANNA WAR?! The June 10th, 1996 episode of WCW Nitro is historic because it was the debut of the outsider Kevin Nash. At the time everyone thought he was invading from WWF. Scott Hall promised his “big” surprise buddy was going to show up, but he didn't say when. This is where the big boys play. Look at the adjective “play.” Also, Scott Steiner battles Booker T, Sting takes on Meng, The Nasty Boys fight the Public Enemy, and the WCW Tag Team Titles are on the line in the main event

15 JUN 2025 · The very last episode of ECW on TNN took place on October 6th, 2000. WWF Monday Night RAW is on TNN now, so that leaves ECW without a national television deal. In what is somewhat a fitting ending., Joel Gertner wrestles “The Network’s” Cyrus in the main event. But, before we get to that we have other matches from ECW Anarchy Rulz. Kid Kash and EZ Money have a match where Kid Kash had to win in order to have Joel Gertner face off with Cyrus. Plus, it's our very first time talking about the ECW legend Bilvis Wesley as he takes on Nova. No, this ISN’T Elvis Presley.

8 JUN 2025 · RAW is Jericho on April, 17th 2000! WWF RAW opens the show hot with Chris Jericho vs Triple H, in what was scheduled as a non-title match with Triple H defending the honor of Stephanie McMahon. Jericho verbally assaults Triple H and convinces him to put the WWF Championship on the line right now! After a referee gets bumped during the match, Earl Hebner comes in at the end of the match and counts the pin for Chris Jericho. Chris Jericho is the NEW WWF Champion, for all of 2 minutes. Triple H argues with the refs and says that Earl made a fast count and needs to reverse the decision. Earl agrees as long as Triple H doesn’t mess with him while he works for the WWF. Triple H goes along with it until he gets his title back. He then fires Hebner and beats him up. Also, Linda McMahon is here with a big surprise that she won’t tell anyone about. She goes into the ring and says that Stone Cold Steve Austin will be in the corner of The Rock at the Backlash against Triple H. This makes Triple H and Stephanie upset and Stephanie goes to slap her mom. However, Linda was ready and countered it by slapping her back. Plus, The Hardyz vs Eddie and Essa Rios, Crash Holly vs Perry Saturn vs Tazz and much more. In the main event, Chris Jericho teams with the APA to take on DX!

26 MAY 2025 · January 25th, 1993 is the date for the 3rd ever episode of WWF Monday Night RAW. Yokozuka has won the Royal Rumble the night before, but that’s not the focus of this episode. Ric Flair’s WWF contract is up so they need a match to write him off! The main event is a Loser Leaves WWF match between Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair that turns into a straight up classic. There’s blood, there’s cheating, there’s Bobby Heenan going absolutely nuts at ringside. Mr. Perfect send Ric Flair packing. Also, Kamala battles the Brooklyn Brawler and slaps his belly, Randy Savage wrestles the Repo Man to try and get his stolen hat back, and Rob Bartlett rambles on! It’s 1993 WWF where they are still trying to figure out what the show is going to be. Plus, the boys talk about the Japan trip!

18 MAY 2025 · 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.

11 MAY 2025 · HEY NETWORK I DARE YOU TO THROW ME OFF THE AIR! The date is June 2nd, 2000 and ECW is at odds with their network TNN. WWF is about to move to TNN after they were given 100 million dollars. Paul Heyman and ECW aren’t happy. So what is the best thing to do? Do a shoot promo on the air of ECW Hardcore TV and air your grievances. Was this a good idea? Probably not. But, it made for some great television. Also, Kid Kash and The Baldie Grimes do battle, Tony Mamaluke makes his ECW debut, and Rhino defends the ECW TV Title against The Sandman. AND FOR THAT, WE THANK YOU!

5 MAY 2025 · 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.
