I'M FROM...HOLLYWOOOOOOOD!

On this edition of the DEADLOCK Retro Sync, we take a look back at the boys' review of this episode of WCW Nitro from 2000. Everyone knows that David Arquette won the WCW World Championship, but not as many seem to talk about the things that played out on TV after he won the gold, and that's what is being covered here. Also, HORACE HOGAN! Yessss.

Watch here! Just make sure you're on the right episode, as Archive will automatically play the first video in the playlist.

This happened on my birthday. I was 9 years old that year. Definitely was watching this and the fed at the time. What a fucking great present for 9 year old me.

I don't even recall you doing this episode, since a lot of Russo clusterfucks sort of just melt into one another, but I admit I died laughing way too hard at Nash kicking everyone's ass, and then the getaway got foiled because no one in the company was smart enough to plan their sequences so they had to improvise into Nash kicking their ass even more. Just peak incompetence. And no room for anything to breathe! Let's attack Flair during Lex's entrance making him look like a complete goddamn idiot not noticing it! No actual humans wrote Nitro in 2000, and in retrospect it was terrible TV then but gold now.

WCW 2000 was car-crash TV, but it was entertaining car-crash TV.

*SNIIIIIIIIIF* You smell that?

I would love for yall to review the episode that took place the following week. It's some of the funniest shit I've seen from this era of WCW. (Unless you've reviewed it already)

I lived through this era like some people here. Fans that are growing up today have no idea how good they have things in terms of quality in almost every level of wrestling around the world. Sure, the occasional shit show will happen every now and again, but not in terms of 99/00/01 WCW levels. Even WWF at this point wasn’t all good, but their highs were higher than WCW and obviously ended up being the difference. If they put the strap on Horace they probably be around today, though.

SHAAAAAAAT UUUUPPPP. Legit one of my favorite promos of all time because he instantly turns into a 10 year old living a 10 year old's dream.
