XWF Episode #2 - DEADLOCK Podcast Retro Review

XWF is back and IN YOUR FACE! On episode number 2 Brian Knobbs and Jimmy Hart let us know that they tried to create the best storylines with some of the legends of wrestling and the new up and coming future stars of this business. The CEO Rena Mero is having a power struggle with the commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper who is overstepping his boundaries. AJ Styles cuts a promo saying he is coming for the XWF Cruiserweight Championship. Norman Smiley vs Johnny B Badd have one of the best matches of the night. The Nasty Boys are currently feuding with the Road Warriors and decide to sneak attack them as they are fighting the Shane Twins. In the main event, Curt Hennig beats Buff Bagwell with help from Bobby The Brain Heenan. Vampiro comes down the stooge on them. Hail then comes down to beat up Vampiro, prompting Piper to come with a chair and Rena Mero to follow. The show ends in chaos.

I saw this notification and said "omg is that a XWF episode 2?" and then I thought "well, maybe it isn't brother"

[@zac5855]

Not up to us brother, ball’s in the boys’ court dude

Or maybe it is dude. maybe we’re gonna watch the other episode… OR MAYBE NOT IT REALLY DEPENDS

[@sonicheroxd5767]

Jim Duggan was a guest at my local comic-con. I actually asked him about the XWF at his Q&A panel. He said and I quote, "They had a lot of chances...but they had Brian Knobbs in charge." I almost crumpled when he said that.

​@djgaben6187 if u only watch the KZbin vids, you're gonna have to wait half a year. If u want to keep up with what they've done since this episode, I recommend listening to the podcast itself.

[@Shmiguelly]

The talk of 2002 at the end, not only is 2002 so different from 2001, summer 2002 is SO different from early 2002. It's insane how quickly wrestling totally changed.

[@InaudibleSlinky]

Oh yeah Steph/Eric's corporate feud felt so far removed from Flair/Vince.

[@IsaacSperrow]

Actual sign of eras changing is when they start pushing the new guys they want on the midcard and main event scene, and they de-push or even release some of the more established guys. Whats the most recent one for WWE? 2013 or 2014? When the FCW and early-NXT wrestlers is suddenly everywhere on the card.

[@SonBlackHeart22]

@@IsaacSperrow Yeah is been 10 years since that happened now.

[@anthonydeadman]

I feel like the very MOMENT everything changed in 2002, was when Brock Lesnar beat The Rock for the Undisputed title. Feels like everything shifted after that.

[@ayok101]

Spoilers, Nagata was tko'ed by Cro Cop in 21 seconds. He'd return to MMA 2 years later to face Fedor Emelianenko because Jesus Christ no easy fights

[@theSuperviLLain_est]

Lawlers impression just being ‘AHHHHH’ in a Mickey Mouse voice is based

[@CriticalMrs]

I saw Jimmy Hart pocketing donuts and bagels from a radio hall crafts services once

[@Kaltagstar96]

The boys putting over Norman Smiley was based as hell, the fact that Norman is both a legit badass (I'm sure I saw videos of him in one of the 1990s Japanese shoot promotions, it might've been UWFI?) and he's great at comedy as well. Also, AJ Styles is so fucking lucky that he's one of the greatest wrestlers of all time because that 'Stylin' promo was fucking rough.

[@mariobros68]

OR MAYBE THEY WEREN'T, DUDE!

[@polkaputo3226]

it was uwf, before uwfi was a thing, but yes. he even fought minoru suzuki, among other legends, which meant they saw him as worthy. he’s also a former world champ in mexico. norman is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time. or maybe he isn’t brother

[@escoplayer10]

I’m totally gonna watch this review of XWF episode 2… OR MAYBE IM NOT BROTHER!

[@Verklompen]

I'm not going to lie, I've been listening to this and the third episode straight through once I found the first one. Love the wombo combo of Deadlock and WXF... XFW... You know.

[@erickamaro8781]

Rey Gonzalez’s Rey Fenix persona was basically his version of Hogan’s Mr.America. He was one of wwc’s big stars alongside Carlos Colon. Then had rivalries with names like Carlito and Savio Vega back the 2000s in both WWC and IWA

[@rileyblack7160]

Nagata vs Cro Cop did, in fact, happen. Cro Cop immediately kicked Nagata's head off of his shoulders. The fight lasted 13 seconds

[@kellybritt4885]

I knew they were gonna make episode two. OR DID I DUDE

[@gnosis_pr37]

I love that the boys talk about Ray Gonzalez, his alter-ego Rey Fenix and "The Precious One" Gilbert(being from the PR and hearing that and laughing about how they talk about it just puts a smile in my face)

[@SonBlackHeart22]

Just realized Knobs look in the thumbnail reminds me of Rikishi's casual wear in WWE only thing is missing is Knob's wear and it fits. Also fun fact is odd how Jimmy Hart worked on promotions that didn't last long first the xwf then the nwf as the manager of April Hunter.
