The First WWF RAW IS WAR Episode - DEADLOCK Podcast Retro Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2024
- Deep into the New Generation, WWF decided to rage war on WCW and rename Monday Night Raw to RAW IS WAR! This is the very first episode, before we get to the Attitude Era later in the year. They have a new presentation, including new graphics and a brand new stage. WrestleMania 13 is a couple weeks away and Sid Vicious is WWF Champion. Before he defends his World Wrestling Federation Championship against The Undertaker, they team up to take on Vader and Mankind in the main event. Also, Paul Heyman and ECW are here for “The Great Debate” with Jerry “The King” Lawler. Stone Cold and Bret Hart prepare for their I Quit match at WrestleMania as Jim Ross interviews the special guest referee Ken Shamrock.

New Jack launching a man off a balcony and doing a topé suicida to beat the man's ass is incredibly on brand for him.
"The World Wrestling Federation: for over fifty years, it's just sucked! It's just been awful here! Goldust is here!"
GOLDUST IS HERE. MORE GOLDUST ARE COMING.
😂😂😂
Holy shit I clicked on this because it was a random deadlock video and it literally was just uploaded, this was meant to be fellas
OH, HELL, YEAH!!!!
IDK DUDE MABEY NOT BROTHER
@@johnschexnayder4511 BUT IT COULD BE DUDE
Miiia!
I don't know dude well have to see
I'm still laughing at Johnny's Tony Atlas impression! 😂
I literally burst out laughing it's so obscene lmao
the second laugh was CRAZY
It’s unnervingly accurate lol
Iron Sheik, Bob Backlund and the Sultan is a terrifyingly based stable.
IBS
We skee, we woah, we skee again, the cycle repeats
The Rocks new Hogan gimmick he tried out on Rogan went well 😂
"You know I was about to join Run-DMC before the WWE, F at the time, called me."
Went about as well as anything goes on JRE
@@ad206 "Or maybe not, IF YA SMEEEEEEEELELELELELELELOOOWWW"
@@colosseo7827 "I got this voice mail 'direckedly' from Terry Funk two days after he died. And he told me he appreciated all I did for the business... it really humbled me."
The boys are cursed with the fact that the worse the show is, the more entertaining the pod becomes.
They still actively avoid Cena era and beyond. There is some gems to mine there review-wise. Granted the allegations recently sours some thing, but its not like it stopped them before.
@@IsaacSperrow Allegations against who?
Vince @@MrFunkyJon
@@IsaacSperrowhonestly for guys like these the allegations against Vince are more of a reason to watch those episodes once they need to someday.
Vince wasn't even hiding how terrible he was. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to make allegations against him and stuck.
Though I guess it has more to do with the fact that the company was sold than anything else.
@@MrFunkyJon Vince and Johnny Ace mainly. Also, there was some beef online with Vicky because of how she treated her daughter for saying she got sexualy assaulted by her step-dad (ie Vicky's husband). Again, probably won't affect the guys because they will just ran with it. Heck, in this review they literally make fun of Jerry for being a pedo. If anything, that kind of call out should be normalised.
Tony was banging on all cylinders this episode
Dr. Death being caught with the AJPW drug supply is bad fuckin luck man.
For real. This dude was about to be the biggest gaijin star since the peak days of Hansen, but then that shit happened.
Taker and sid promo starting the show. That is felonious assault brotha
I was laughing like Tony Atlas this entire episode
AH HAHAHA AH HAHAHA
The Tony Atlas laugh is absurd hahahah, i love it
This was exactly one week before my 16th birthday, and the episode of _RAW_ (March 17, 1997) featuring Bret Hart screaming obscenities like a sailor at Stone Cold re: their WM 13 match (and the best damn match in _WrestleMania_ history; I stand by that statement) to end the show LMAO. What a time to have been alive.
Also, this show was the first time in WWF to use Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People", ca. 4½ yeara before becoming the _SmackDown!_ theme. on its August 16, 2001 episode, which also debuted the famous " fist" set for the show.
Holy cow I was 8
My brother was your age, I was 10. Blown away when Bret turned heel.
The Bret 20 year contract situation is just an inverted employment at will. Bret's clauses were legal because both parties negotiated for them and they weren't so unfair (unfair in this context is basically that the WWF isn't dumb, they understand what is going on), he had to give a 30 day notice before quitting and was given automatic creative in those 30 days. But because the title was on the line in creative, it would've created an even worse look for wrestling, having a court case over whether Bret should've won the match. He could have sued WWF, saying that the company breached the contract by not giving Bret 100% creative over losing the title, which led to him losing out on the very unique contract, but it would essentially lead to having to tell courts exactly how creative works in the business. Bret probably didn't want to overly expose wrestling himself.
tHe WoRlD iS wATchIng
I listen to you guys all the time and when things aren't going great, these always bring me up. I appreciate you guys and all you do!
Boys please review the episode where big show gets too hungry and eats burritos and gets a upset tummy
I think thats one of their firsts.
I feel like being a wrestling fan is similar to being a fan of, like, a mid-market sports team.
it's not the athlete's fault (or mostly not the athlete's fault), and you want to cheer for them because you know they're trying their best, but you get put through so much misery and bullshit for a single moment that, somewhat, makes it validating that you became a fan of this thing
The tony atlas bit 🤣
WCW should have won, holy shit.
Dude, they had all the stars. Horace Hogan, Kenny Kaos, Mike Enos, David Flair. That's the 4 Horsemen, bruddah
LET EM' KNOW
@@biancamusial8632don’t forget about Berlyn, Jerry Flynn, and the Wall brother! Or Vam-pyro or as I like to call him ‘Vampiro’
WCW was giving WWE the fucking 1-4-1-4 day in day out
WCW from 1999 to 2001 was some of the most putrid garbage ever put on television. WWF was far superior which is why it crushed them in the ratings and still exists today.
A rock run in pride would have been hilarious, he would have won a few matches from the yakuza fixing his fights, then he'd get put in there with Fedor and get murdered in the ring
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! YEEEAAAAH!!!
Them going over the Heyman/Lawler seg is insane, especially with Jawnny's Heyman impersonation
Watching you guys in public is crazy. Tony Atlas laugh gets me every time. I look like a psycho with my earbuds in laughing
Waiting for the sync to drop boys
my stomach hurts from laughing at the Atlas stuff. now I know how James feels all the time
0:45 in and James’ already shitting on this episode. Oh no! 😂
Been watching newlegacyinc.. glad I found this channel with the guys I love watching
Just hearing this Raw is War intro, make me wanna fight the boys over some russet potatoes, in a ring surrounded by fire
I love when James ask was anybody watching this caues I remember watching this episode as a kid and probably liking it I wasn't the smartest kid
You gotta take 2 gummies and watch these guys 😂😂😂 best times ever
I never been this early to a video….. OR MAYBE I HAVE BROTHER
SKEE-WHOA, carry on.
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOOOOOOOOOOOOWN
Holy shit that Taz foreshadowing is amazing.
"JR i cant read, help!!" 😂😂😂
5:25 here is my exact thought process after hearing this. “Ok, so Wrestlemania in 97, 17 was 2001, so this was 13…oh, ew”
I didn't even know that WWE used the beautiful people by Marilyn manson for this episode of raw before it was used for smackdown years later lol that's crazy to me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
STANDING ON BUSINESS ONE MAN ARMY
Wrestlers make the best noises ever
Just as a reminder of how much of a liar The Rock is, he has made a video about having In N Out for the first time like 5 times lol. I swear he just uses a Neuralyzer on himself every few years.
Atleast he tips well I guess
Blassie's segment was directed by Pat Patterson
I love listening to them just super hate on these shows I loved as a kid. Shitty little 6 year old me loved this and just the rage and misery they're feeling empowers me. I'm a survivor and they couldn't cut it.
15:25 lmao 🤣
I was two months old when this episode happened 💀
Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhh
The Sycho Sid disrespect is disgusting.
I just fact checked and can confirm Heyman was infact 31 at this raw
it actually pissed me off how they didn't give the 6-man lucha match any respect
Goldust getting so much air time around this time means Vince probably legit wanted Goldust to work and be really high up on the card. Another reason why Vince is not a normal human being.
They skipped the part before LoD came in where Faarooq flat out called Ahmed Johnson an Uncle Tom.
WWE 96-97 should also be in contention for worst year in wrestling, lol
Oh its time, dippers!
What was Miguel supposed to do exactly
Rikishi just dropped a Hogan Diss track titled “the Sultan”
I forgot how bad the first Raw is War was like I get it they where trying out this new concept but man at least the show after this one is a bit better since it was the go home for mania 13.
The deadlock boys reviewing/watching the worst wrestling shows in existence will never not be hilarious to me y’all gotta dig deeper into wrestling hell
Rock might've been thinking of early UFC. It's worth noting Sean O Hair did join Pride after WWE
Goldust rules
I feel like knowing what Karate fighters are, marks someone was a Monday Night wars fan. Hell, even people who were 100% WCW knew Karate Fighters.
Golly, no wonder WCW was wafflestomping on this bullshit weekly. HOW THE HELL DID WWE COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE?!
Honestly? Because of the Screwjob creating Mr. McMahon, and then making Austin vs McMahon the central focus of the company. They were getting COOKED until Austin became the top guy.
Jawny’s Paul Bearer voice 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Went to this show and was blown away by the presentation with the tron,ramp,beautiful people,etc but what a terrible show. But what I loved about this period they corrected ship immediately the next week.
the next week was the infamous episode that had Bret Hart swearing up a storm ("This is bullshit!") after a cage match, leading to big brawl between Bret, Sid, Undertaker, and Steve Austin.
what is the fuck you golddust thing from?
Review Tazz first smackdown commentary it's terrible sep 7 2000
First
It is kinda baffling just, how bad a lot of the early Attitude Era was. Then again most of the Attitude Era does, NOT hold up to scrutiny.
I have come to terms with the fact that there was never a good era of WWE. All of their main competitors were better than them at some point in time. WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH, AEW, etc.
@@spookyspacekuck7885 I wouldn’t go THAT far. There were definitely things they did better than WCW, at least at the time. They were pretty good at giving most of their wrestlers something relatively important to do, story-wise, unlike WCW which was just NWO or nothing.
@@spookyspacekuck7885 I mean they were cooking in the early 2000's...except for the Invasion shit, which was dookie.
@@Simple_Man_Golf I'd rather watch Rey Mysterio Jr. and LA Parka put on 5 minute bangers than having to watch Al Snow or Val Venis "stories"
@@JackgarPrime They were cooking all right... cooking bullshit
I can’t watch old WWF with Vince being on it
Why do you guys fake laugh in every video
If you don't like it don't watch it dude
I wish I didn’t hear the part where you said this was Denkers favorite era because now I have to hate him forever
Tony was in a slump in the beginning and then the switch flipped
