Deadlock Podcast Highlight - The Boys Learn About World Japan

[@Kaltagstar96]

Hearing about how Kensuke Sasaki basically had to work two shows a night just to get by after he put so much money behind World Japan made me genuinely feel bad for the guy and the death of Giant Ochi is just a tragedy. This awesome edit is probably the best World Japan related thing out there; really hope you make more DEADLOCK edits.

[@JackgarPrime]

I think the Kim Justice video is the best World Japan thing, but either way, yeah, Sasaki got fucked over by this whole endeavor.

[@Kaltagstar96]

@@JackgarPrime Yeah, I saw that Kim Justice video and thought "There's no way Sasaki could be that loyal to Choshu and THAT'S how Choshu repays him?" if I was Choshu, I couldn't look myself in the mirror at night knowing that I fucked someone over like that, let alone someone as close to me as Sasaki was to Choshu.

[@JackgarPrime]

@Kaltagstar96 Having the carny mindset like a lot of older wrestlers have will let you forgive yourself for a whole lot of things.

[@vcom741]

Sasaki shoot killed a guy in NJ Dojo (on accident, but he did give a guy who wasn't training hard enough a shoot suplelx), so I don't feel too bad for him

[@silversoulken]

Man’s got Akira Hokuto to fall in love with him in a single day and are still happily married TO this day. He is fine. 💀

Shout out to Kim Justice's Wrestling Road!

[@mikuto27]

Yeah baby!!!

Imagine your boss not payin you and deciding hey we can make a angle out of this😂😂😂😂😂

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Shoutout to Kim Justice for their documentary on this. Been watching them for about a decade now.

[@LaNoLaCola]

That intro earns you and Sweetz unlimited Pastamania side bread, NWO style 4 life. That's wasn't some B-roll sandwich work, dude.

hell yeah brother give me some hulkaroos

Or maybe it doesn't brother

[@LeftIsRightCD]

@@SweetzTheOneWould you like some Hulkayoos with that?

[@d4c467]

for those of you who might be wondering, Kensuke was not paid back

[@mjuzumaki]

And even MORE infuriating: Riki Choshu did NOT go to jail.

[@Kaltagstar96]

Yeah, because Kensuke Sasaki looks like a dude who you'd want to fuck with. I honestly wouldn't blame Sasaki if he held a grudge against Choshu to this very day.

[@iAmCyberwaste]

​@@mjuzumakiThat's so shit.

[@joewb6851]

Big shout out to Kim Justice; they make excellent video essays on puroresu

[@nbr6116]

That's for trucity bruddah! Kim's so good

[@JackgarPrime]

World Japan was fucked. There's a clip from the Kim Justice video here, worth watching the full thing!

[@Puvwilmo00]

1:31 that’s gotta be the most fucked up picture of Riki Choshu I’ve ever seen

[@BrolyChan]

Also, World Japan had Vader but he ended up getting fired because he broke a table during a match. Apparently the table was pretty expensive which is pretty hilarious because why was it out there in the first place if it was so expensive.

[@PrlytheWn]

Riki Choshu was supposed to take it over to his daughters

[@fredfuckstone914]

Yeah they were just looking for an excuse to fire him with cause so they didn't have to pay him. Get fucked gaijin (-¥1,000,000)

[@seantaft3853]

Apparently, the table belonged to the building and WJ didn't have approval to destroy it. Word wasn't given to Vader (because WJ was a mess) and Vader gets released because of it.

[@WrestlingAndWrootBeer]

DEADLOCK and Kim Justice are the two best wrestling content creators out there and it's cool to see them both given some love here. Great work!

[@BLACULA-Skeewoah]

Bro, that intro was unbelievable! Edit : your editing style is genuinely great! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!!!! 😅

[@SweetzTheOne]

thank you lol

[@SomeDumbKid1]

Being responsible for one of the worst ever wrestling promotions AND one of the the worst ever MMA promotions is quite the achievement. Great sync. I really appreciate you digging up the archive footage.

[@BoliveiraNTPW]

THE WORLD IS WATCHING!

[@AgeOfSynn]

Man was playing Fire Promoter on the hardest difficulty. Hemorrhaging money, can't keep anybody signed, the other promotions declined a cross promotional event, the A.I was cheating and getting automatic five star matches.

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

You know you are in dire straits when the Shane twins show up.

[@tysontaggart7246]

WJ makes ECW look like a tightly run ship, and Riki Choshu was somehow worse with money than Paul Heyman ever was.

[@Cooldrew100]

Fantastic sync dude Also shoutouts Kim Justice, she does awesome videos on classic Japanese wrestling on The Wrestling Road and in-depth retro gaming documentaries on her main channel

[@taurusdaevidriv]

WHOA, THAT'S Kenzo Suzuki??!!?? How come he didn't look like that in WWE??!!??😮 😳 😮

[@markwrenn5965]

Nice Kim Justice cameo

[@PrlytheWn]

Wild story. I always heard about Nakajimas fight when he was 15. Didn’t know that Kensuke had a fight on that card against Christian Wellisch, a decent former UFC fighter who only had losses against ufc level guys like Soa Paleilei, Jake O’Brien, Cheick Kongo, Shane Carwin and wait for it KENSUKE SASAKE!!! Sounds like a rigged fight to me. I didn’t know of the other known fighters on that X-1 card too, Dan Bobish, Daniel Puder, Bobby Southworth and Jon Fitch. Insane. If Deadlock do a Watch This or SGH on this card I will definitely pay for that.

[@gituarooheroman]

Earned yourself a sub, great work

[@zumzum74]

This rules, please do more. The little tidbits of information text you slipped in scratch the brain itch

[@ericshepperd4823]

Yesss I was hoping someone would sync this!

Tony always looks like he’s doing other things on his computer and not paying attention lol

[@Nick-cb5km]

Please put together a deadlock raw intro with them just yelling over my generation “GET THE GUNS the drugs THE GUNS” 😂 that world is watching intro was sick

[@nbr6116]

Hell Yeah, if that is the closest we get to a Kim Justice x Deadlock Colab, I'm totally fine with that. Great edit
