Coming back to this for 1985 Jim Duggan Superman Punch

Kelvin Robbin

Get out of Houston u bitch🤣🤣🤣🤣...Awesome Match that don't do it like that anymore

CMP3n1s haha

A WHAT IN A WHO UP MY WHAT AND OUT MY HUH MATCH??????

Walking Talking Man Sized Blunt

This match put the Coal Miners glove over huge. The idea that a weapon is so devastating that it’s being held INSIDE of a cage with these men. And only one thwap puts the other guy out for the three? So sick old wresting rules!

I shouldn't have smoked that Giant Zaza pack, now I'm trapped in the Budokan with Johnny Ace. HELP

Paul Boesch’s Houston Wrestling was a huge deal here through the 60’s to 80s and a very underrated territory

- MARVIN -

I think me and Jawny started tearing up at the same time towards the end of the match. MORE OF THIS PLEASE. I understand it only being here and there but I would love some more old school wrasslin reactions!

Nostradamvs

Southern wrasslin' was something else. Jim Duggan was a fucking beast before he got to the fed and they turned him into a caricature. This match ripped. They don't make 'em like this anymore and they shouild.

Who would win in a fight between Goku and Strokin Mike Hawk

That shit was HEAT 🔥

It's me, the ghost of Allan Bollea, dude, my brother is a crazy style bitch!!!

That shit kicked ass holy fuck

Scotty too hottie Dudley

HOOOOOOOOOOO👍

Bro, that shot of Duggan bleeding out, looking fucking huge and screaming like an animal is now my wallpaper. A man can only dream of looking that badass.

Killaturtle

I was born in 85

blatantlywhite

THESE TWO WERE FUCKING HOOPERS IN THE TERRITORIES RAAAHHH!!!

NO PEPPERONI PENNE FOR PULSE, NO TURKEY TETRAZINI FOR TONY, AND NO JABRONI JAMBALAYA FOR JAWNNY BROTHER

YEAHHH THAT OLD SCHOOL SHIT BE HITTIN YALL GOTTA DO MORE!

Cali Jester

I think everyone tends to forget that Duggan was a hell of a worker. We may joke about his WWF/WCW stuff there is a legit reason why he was around for so long. Good workers always have a spot on any roster.

Aaron Goodman

Houston must have been rich as hell with the 16:9. Way ahead of their time. In all seriousness, can we get more old shit on Deadlock?

Happy Tiger Snugglefur

This match type sounds like something you would create in Wrestling Empire.

HENKI

Now that y’all watched some 85 let’s go back to the same year and watch that Jaguar Toyota vs Lioness Asuka joint 🙌🏻🙌🏻

BigJ

'Vulgar Display of Power' energy

Tony Jumped My Ass At The Durham Armory

I apologize Mr Duggan, I was not familiar with your game

Central Jersey Chris

backdrop sack tap to shoulder block combo no one wrestles like this anymore man

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Jim Duggan, bleeding like crazy, yelling, looking huge, with 1 glove on....dude I have never been more afraid or in awe of Jim Duggan in my life that shit was CRAZY!

Daniel Beesley

guy like me i’m getting in a time machine and bringing 85 jim duggan to dpw and he’s working jake something for a year straight

tkdwn.

man that kicked so much ass. why have we strayed so far from 10 minutes of punching each other in the head because you hate the other person's tax bracket

Badnewsbrown202

I’m right there with you , I was 6 years old when this match happened lol

truth

Jim Duggan is 2 for 2 on banger Watch This matchematches

Sampo Salo

Wrestling used to be so simple. This shit means something to me man.

JonJonesWontFightTomAspinallBecauseHeSaidHesMean

Duggan held the gig in his hand for like 2 straight minutes and then couldnt get it in his pocket

Gimme Bob Sapp vs Great Kali at Inoki Bomaye in a shoot MMA fight

I had to rewind to watch that bump in the corner where Ted folded harder than DiBiase around a stripper

Kai Eastwood

In my mind this match alone is why Duggan vs Dibase won WON fued of the year in 1985. Nobody doing it better than this

TheDman0310 actually is here to fuck spiders, mate

DiBiase had to do an All Japan tour, brother

Tyler

Watching wrestling entirely through Deadlocked Syncs and these is insane because I know Jim Duggan entirely from the XWF and that one other episode, so watching his career in reverse starting with trying to put over General E. Rection and leading to now where he straight up just donkey punches Ted Dibiase in the fucking face is a journey.

I saw mayor glenn jacobs Isaac yankin his shmeat crazy style in the chumba casino bathroom

Jim Duggan is from my home town. He's like, the only notable person to come from here. Some local hot dog spot used to have an autographed 2x4 on display, and I feel like it doesn't get much more American than that lol.

Stack Of Pubes You Call Balls

I might be one of the few here that was alive when this match happened lol

Jessie The Body Tempura

That match was awesome! More 80s wrestling please

FWPJR.

This was a really fun match to watch, old school wrestling can be the best sometimes. That punch Duggan did to finish the match was badass.

Steele Lukas

That shot of Duggan firin’ up at the end could be an album cover. Hard as FUCK!!

Samoa Joe Mama

that match fucking ruled

Hi woke up from a 4year coma. Hope I get a gimmick

Thank you for posting this. This is literally incredible stuff

Darren Williams

I've never seen Duggan look so fucking cool in my life

beanobaby

I'd be so down with you guys watching more of this older stuff. It's cool to see how much has/hasn't changed and it's just fun seeing these old crowds being super into it too. Not that their not today of course, it's just a bit of a different energy. This was awesome!

Jared Winn

Much like how OSW made me really love Earthquake, watching this and old Nitros with Deadlock really gives me an appreciation for Duggan. I only remember him as the goofy USA legend but wow what a fun match. I’d love to watch more 80s wrestling.

RavenWood

holy shit this was kinda fire, these are what we need now. Jim Duggan kinda kicks ass too

A diamond cutter upside down is an rko

It was great seeing someone pull a wrestler back into the cage to keep the coward from running, rather than it involving the win con. Don't get me started about using the damn door to escape!

HumanTornadosCousin

That ruled

HumanTornadosCousin

Holy name batman!

Two-Tone MoonStone

Highly recommend checking out some AWA Curt Hennig matches, old school but still super engaging

Daniel Kerley

This was a fucking BANGER

Daniel Kerley

"TAKE HIS SLEEVES" bit had me dying holy fuck

Daniel Kerley

Fun fact: Jim Duggan's punches looked so great because they were real punches!

Bratburger and beef burger ying yang style same bun

Ryan Russell

One of the best of the '80s. Magnum/Tully next!

Mr. Hank Kronenberg

A loser leaves town match....for 30 days?

FalconX9K

Jawnny realizing in real time that a lot of old wrestling is actually pretty sick has been a hell of an arc

Truitt Wynne

Jim fucking duggan

Justin Credible is Holding it the Long Way

There’s a video package explaining the lead up to this match here: https://youtu.be/i-3JCODSpu0?si=4uSaoIMJLXLSiXNX

JackRyanForPope

Goddamn, that was cool. So much work being put in despite not a ton of moves. Never seen Duggan move that fast in my life!

I got fired from chuckEcheese for getting topped up by some mom in the coat room while wearing the mouse costume

It’s crazy how you can put Jim Duggan in any decade and he still gets a pop. Slap him on a DPW show im chanting U S A

Mike Miller

Is this the one where DiBiase showed up to the show driving a U-haul truck basically giving awa the finish?

Mayfly

Deadlock going proper old school is truly a skee-woah moment

Jacob Ward

"Oh they're checking him for strippers." "THEY WILL FIND MANY"

Noted Bowser Simp

Dude Duggan legit looks kind of awesome in a suit, I did not know that before today

KODIAK

this the real shit

hitting bobby lashleys favourite pose double cheek style

The Bird of Hermes aka D.D.D.D Super-Dimensional Sovereign Emperor Zero Paradox from YuGiOh The Trading Card Game

someone needs to invent time travel and bring this Duggan into the present and making him a champ NOW

Jack Kinghoff

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Smitty The WerbenJagerMan Jensen

Y'all should watch Magnum T.A. vs. Tully Blanchard from Starrcade, one of the most early fucked up matches that took place in the U.S.

Holy! This is the stuff I've been waiting for y'all to do. NO MORE WWF POST 2002

JonJonesWontFightTomAspinallBecauseHeSaidHesMean

Getting into the oldschool booking philosophies and psychology is gonna add so many layers to DPW that other indies wont have

CJExtreme98

I saw “loser leaves town” and I was gonna try to relay the feeling I had from my last match which was LLT. But this something else and the booker is a sick bastard 😂
