As WCW is getting to the end of the line we get to look at the final episode of WCW Thunder. Even though this is the final episode of Thunder, WCW wasn’t officially purchased by the WWF until after this episode aired! All the pieces were still falling in place and there was even a chance that Eric Bischoff and his team would buy WCW and keep it running. The plan was to restart the company and run a PPV called The Big Bang. However, the only thing going into this episode we know is that this is the season finale of WCW Thunder and WCW Nitro Night of Champions would happen on Monday. That would end up being the series finale! Most people look at 2001 as a bad year for WCW, but they were trying to create some new stars. Had they stayed in business would things have turned out differently? The Cruiserweight division had introduced the brand new WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Titles with the champions Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper. AJ Styles would join WCW around this time with Air Pair as the tag team duo Air Raid! A few ECW wrestlers would join WCW after ECW went out of business. Kid Kash, now known as Cash, takes on Jason Jett, formerly known as E.Z. Money! The main event angle for the night featured Dustin Rhodes, who just made Ric Flair kiss Dusty Rhodes ass at WCW Greed. The former Goldust would take on Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett in a handicapped match in the main event and final match in the history of WCW Thunder.

This is the WWE Raw episode where the “Summer of Kane” begins. Around 5 months ago, Evolution had taken the mask off of Kane, but this time Eric Bischoff wanted it for good. Kane had a choice to make: he could either choose to join Evolution or he could vs Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He chose to fight Triple H however Eric Bischoff put in a stipulation, if Kane loses he has to take the mask off and show everyone his face! This is the night that Kane finally took the mask off and showed the world what he really looks like. Fun fact, his hair was actually a part of the mask. Isn’t that odd? On this RAW, Booker T and Scott Steiner team up, Goldberg answers the Teddy Long “Rodney Mack 5 Minute White Boy Challenge,” and Shawn Michaels partners with Kevin Nash against Randy Orton and Ric Flair. Plus, it’s a Mick Foley tribute night as Stone Cold invited RVD and ECW alumni to present Mick with the WWF Hardcore Championship as a gift! Things don’t end well for him that night, as he gets kicked down the stairs by Randy Orton!

One of the biggest moves in pro wrestling history was when TNA Wrestling moved to Spike TV. This happened right after WWE Monday Night Raw left Spike TV to return to the USA Network. TNA Wrestling had never been on national television before so this was a gigantic step for them. The very first match is AJ Styles vs Roderick Strong. The fans voted on the TNA Wrestling website that the very first match on the debut episode was to feature AJ Styles. This really set the pace for the 60 minute adrenaline rush. One thing that TNA did a really good job was making the X-Division very important. One big match we get is Petey Williams vs Alex Shelley vs Chris Sabin. They let them go out and kill it. Raven was the NWA Champion, however there was controversy in Canada as Jeff Jarrett would beat Raven. This would lead to The King of The Mountain teaming up with AMW and Scott D'Amore for Planet Jarrett. Jeff Jarrett would celebrate his NWA Title victory until Team 3D made their debut for TNA Wrestling and cleaned house. Just as Jeff Jarrett looked like he was going to leave, Kevin Nash would show up and inflict punishment to Double J. What a way to start off the new era of TNA Wrestling. Plus, The DEADLOCK Patreon Q&A returns to the podcast.

We are wild and young! We have just begun! Mr. McMahon announced 3 weeks ago that WWE ECW was no longer going to be on TV. In its place was the “Next Evolution Of WWE!” This new show was called WWE NXT and it would feature current WWE Superstars as Pros and current FCW wrestlers as Rookies. It was a competition show that would eventually feature a game show style format with such games as chugging soda! However, we look back on the very first episode of NXT that is centered around Daniel Bryan being an internet darling dork and him not getting along with his pro The Miz! The main event features a great match between Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan with some terrific wrestling. We also get hype packages for most of the rookies to learn a little more about their characters. This was a wild experiment in television history, that for good or bad, will not be forgotten.

"Lord of the Ring," the Feb 18th, 2010 episode of TNA Impact Wrestling. Hulk Hogan presents Abyss with his WWE Hall of Fame ring, declaring that it will make Abyss stronger than Hulkamania and a god among men. This moment not only solidified Abyss as a top contender in the company, but also marked the beginning of a powerful alliance between Hogan and Abyss. This partnership saw the two wrestlers work together to dominate the TNA roster, with Abyss becoming a key player in Hogan's faction, Immortal. AJ Styles, under the mentorship of Ric Flair, beats up the new number one contender and 8 Card Stud winner, The Pope D'Angelo Dinero, and leaves him laying in the ring. This idea of AJ Styles being the next Ric Flair was not well received by the fans as AJ Styles was already a top guy in the company and the face of TNA Wrestling. Also in one of the most infamous moments in TNA Wrestling history, Samoa Joe was kidnapped by NINJAS. After the kidnapping, Samoa Joe was taken off TNA Impact TV, and when he was brought back, the storyline was never mentioned again. This was a major disappointment for fans as it was a bizarre and uninteresting storyline that came out of nowhere and had no real purpose or resolution. Also, The boys talk about DPW Live #1 that saw the main event of SB KENTo vs Lucky Ali for the DPW Worlds Championship. Plus, a review of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives.

The XWF promotion was founded in 2001 by former WWE Superstars Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs, and Jimmy Hart.

WCW and ECW have both closed their doors leaving many talented wrestlers without a place to work. Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Jarrett & Bob Ryder were on a boat and had an idea for the creation of the NWA Total Nonstop Action. Many TV networks did not want to take a chance on pro wrestling, so the only logical thing was PPV. They would do things a bit different by offering weekly NWA TNA PPVs for $9.99. In the first ever NWA TNA PPV we get an NWA Champion crowned. There is a giant Gauntlet For The Gold match that saw Ron Killings vs Ken Shamrock facing off in a one on one match in the main event.

The very same night that WCW was having Bret Hart vs Hulk Hogan, we got an all timer Stone Cold Steve Austin segment on WWF Monday Night RAW IS WAR! WWF Breakdown just happened and the main event saw Stone Cold vs Kane vs The Undertaker for the WWF Championship. The Undertaker and Kane were barred from pinning each other. If anyone had interfered on Austin’s behalf, Austin would have immediately been stripped of the title. Kane and The Undertaker both pinned Stone Cold Steve Austin so the WWF title was held up. On this episode of RAW Vince McMahon would hold an in-ring ceremony to award the WWF Championship to either Kane or Taker. However, Stone Cold Steve Austin ruined the entire thing as he drove a Zamboni down to the ring, jumped over the police barricade and attacked Mr. McMahon. Austin ended up going to jail after this, but the night was not over. Mr. McMahon came back to the ring to award either Kane or Taker the WWF Championship. Because they did not protect him from Stone Cold, Vince said they had to fight at WWF Judgment Day 1998 with Stone Cold as special referee. This enraged Kane and Taker who proceeded to break the ankle of the owner of the World Wrestling Federation. D Generation-X is having issues in the group that leads to a fight where Billy Gunn leaves the arena. Owen Hart delivers an Owen Piledriver to Dan Severn in the same style he did it to Stone Cold. This caused Dan Severn to “hurt” his neck. In the main event it is Kane and The Undertaker in a handicapped match vs Ken Shamrock, Mankind, and The Rock. Plus, The DEADLOCK Q&A is back again!

A WWF TV show targeted at adults that aired late on Saturday Night sounded like a great idea, however, Shotgun Saturday Night was not it! Coming off of episode #1, the WWF was hyping up an unveiling of "Sunny's Sexy Home Video." The entire night is teased with rumors of who could be in the explicit tape with Sunny. When we get to finally see the film, it is revealed that it is Tickle Me Elmo's older brother Fondle Me Elmo! In what could only be described as bizarre, Sunny does indeed fondle Elmo. We also get another moment that misses the mark. Todd Pettengill sings a duet with The Honky Tonk Man. There are two problems with this, The Honky Tonk Man's mic doesn't work and he can't sing either. It might go down as one of the worst things in this era of pro wrestling. The Sisters of Love were arrested in New York for solicitation. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are in WCW, but that doesn't stop the WWF from using the names Razor Ramon and Diesel. Speaking of The Bad Guy, the boys talk about the greatest wrestling theme songs of the late, great Scott Hall.
