Welcome to the first edition of The Long Way, featuring Dan Ryckert!

If you're familiar with our long-form series "Sumn Gonna Happen", you will feel right at home here. We decided to change things up a bit, and going forward, "The Long Way" will be posted monthly here for the $10 and above tier, replacing SGH.Every month, we'll bring on a guest to watch a show with us of their choosing! They can pick any show they'd like, whether it's for sentimental reasons, or they remember it fondly, or they thought it was awful. Whatever they want to watch with us, we're going to watch it; THE LONG WAY.

This month, we have Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert on with us, and he has chosen WCW Slamboree 2000 to watch. If that doesn't tell you how things are going to go, wait until you watch this show.

Watch Here!

Okay first off incredibly excited about the new series!! But I’m jus curious - does this mean SGH is being replaced by this or is this just an additional bit of content to go alongside SGH/Watch This

Frazzle King

assuming this is a “replacement” for sgh instead of alongside it?

Guy Fiat

So no Macgruber?

Jared Winn

Love this! Now it’s time to LONG WAY

torquesmackey

I was so sure this was gonna be a fake-out into MacGruber

Sweetz

WAIIIIIITTT THIS IS SO COOL!!! Deadlock has truly entered a new era, you guys are spoiling us with content rn

KyWithAVoice

NEW SERIES NEW SERIES I AIN'T NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE 👀

DEADLOCK

This will be replacing SGH. Same idea, just with a guest on monthly. We thought it was time to give it a new coat of paint.

Sweetz

also streamable link pog

Mason Sartin

Genuinely shocked it wasn't Macgruber

Justin Mc

NEW DEADLOCK SHOW. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

BrotherHallmark106

Oh wow, okay!! I’m so excited to see where this goes!! And thank you for such a fast detailed response!

Andru316

Deadlock new era #skeewoah

SpiderWar

Guys let me be the guest on the next episode and we can watch Godzilla Final Wars

Justin Mc

I like the revamping of SGH. Having someone to bounce off you two is kind of missed. I will miss the UFC PPVs though. Lol

Noah Sayers

Dan Ryckert got to choose a show and he didn't pick Macgruber????

DEADLOCK

I know it sounds insane, but this genuinely was his first choice! He did tell me that he doesn't want me to watch MacGruber for a video, as he wants me to legitimately experience it & not have to talk through it. Never say never, but if I do watch it, you'll likely hear about it on the pod instead of seeing me react to it! But I won't watch it! - Johnny

Hobo Joe

It’s time to SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT

Cali Jester

This might the most insanely fucked up idea you guys have come up with AND I LOVE IT!

TheBlueprint

Gonna change Something Gonna Happen to Nothing Ever Happens

Cali Jester

We need to fund Tom Lawlor getting on a UFC.

Justin Mc

Oh man that would be fun!

Sorry it’s a deadlock reference

Will there still be actual movies like Freddy Vs Jason or No Holds Barred every once in a while to shake it up? or are you we going all wrestling all the time on the long way. excited either way just curious. Keep up the good work boys.

DEADLOCK

Whatever our guest chooses!

Brian Palmer

Dan Ryckert? More like Dan Stinkfart, amirite? Also, WHERE MACGRUBER?!?!?

AJ Russell

DAN. RYC. KERT. YEAH!

A Diamond Cutter Upside Down Is An RKO

I like the idea of changing things up a bit. It feels like ushering in a new era of deadlock, rather than, this is deadlock but somethings missing.

TorchCrawler

I would give real dollars to see those Attitude Era watch along podcast pilots with Chugs, Gargano, Stokely and DA BIG DAWG.

Monk E. Dangerously

I actually love this idea! Dan is a great first guest for this.

eclipsx00

I love it, the boys are back in town

Mark of Minos

SGH is dead, long live The Loooooong Waaaaay. The Loooooong Waaaaay!

Sweetz

Wait you’re telling me that Dan Rykcert had the option to pick WHATEVER he wanted…and he DIDNT pick MacGruber????

Sweetz

yeah its basically sgh but with a guest!

Keno

hope they get TonyPizzaGuy on the podcast for this. he'd be a great fit.

Mah-Dry-Bread

I love the concept! It's cool seeing you guys try so many new things, from the post shows to the names seg being at the end of the pod. Also I love when you do WCW shows so a big thanks to Dan for that!

MachoManYeeeahh

Based Dan Ryckert, early bday gift to me. And the platform u posted on for this is way better than daily motion!

Mason Sartin

Jawnny with the creative control in is contract, said "That doesn't work for me, brother"

Mason Sartin

I just wanna say, Johnny, it would absolutely not surprise me if we find out 30 years down the line that you've already watched Macgruber and are just really dedicated to the bit.

David Haettich

Because if he had picked McGruber then the fun of trolling Blud with it is gone. I see it as a positive tbh and want Blud to keep not watching until Dan actually pays the McGruber guy to show up to the Blud Compound in full gimmick 😂😂

Shoutsiders

You guys have really been spoiling us this month. The amount of content coming out is insane and much needed with the world as it is right now. Appreciate you boys a ton.

FalconX9K

Holy shit, Ralphus has the Yuji Hino belly button

BigBombBrytor

Yo I was legitimately shocked with Scott Steiners "attempt" to move out of the way of a moonsault.

FalconX9K

What an amazing bit to be like "My old name was a stupid idea from bad creative, from now on I will be known only as Penis McThrobinson."

BigJ

Since there was discussion of Perfect's 2002 Fed run, I'd like to make a Watch This suggestion: Mr Perfect, Test, & Lance Storm vs Scotty 2 Hotty, Albert, & Rikishi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83-skuteYRc There's also an important bit of Rikishi lore in this match.

Hobo Joe

I just got to the part where Dan recalled beating up the news team on No Mercy and wow you guys might’ve already peaked at episode 1

Mattie

This was awesome hope to see shawn Michael's cousin again on the show and cant wait for macho T to pick nothing relating to lucha and pick wwe 2014 battleground. Also joe hendry having heat with johhny would be the funniest thing ever if I heard meltzer explain a heated situation at wwe HQ about Joe hendry and john blud that'd be hilarious and it not being somebody who worked DPW.

ThatGuyRayden

Thankfully this isnt on dailymotion

Sean Narborough

I would've loved it if Slamboree started playing, it then glitches out and MacGruber played instead 😄

R E Y

sad to see SGH go, but this is def a nice idea for a rebrand. hopefully we still get those UFCs every once in a blue moon 🙏 those are a great time with the boys

thomasnottrain

Love it when the boys SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT

CRITICAL Cooking

Love this idea but I need those UFC watchalongs BADLY

John Nickell

Bro MacGruber wasn’t the pick? That’s the shock of the year

John Nickell

This will be the new SGH. Basically the same idea but each month with a guest.

dpw world dominican champion chief beef salsa

HOLY FUCK Steiner’s head literally bounced off the ring from huge boner’s moonsault. Anyways awesome fucking show, loving the new content that’s been coming, KEEP IT UP!

Danny Mudbone

I’m always down for whatever content you guys put out! Hopefully we still get UFC every once in a a while.

nLDalton

I love this idea! Is this replacing Sumn Gonna Happen or will that still happen too? Hopefully both!

Fraser Cummings

I think this is what SGH is gonna be from now on. It seems like the exact same format, but they watch whatever the guest wants to watch, instead of them or us picking what they watch.

Skeleboi

This is a super fun idea, looking forward to watching some fun shows!

Mister shit ass poop

The dan ryckert weatherman beatdown story is some of the funniest shit I have ever heard lmaooo

Blown Load Steve Austin

Insane branding, insane first show, insane first guest. We are entering a beautiful new era in deadlock

Tad Chilly

Genuinely perfect name for the show

Jsin00

This is so awesome! I am super excited to see the future guests.

Illustrious Zero

If the first match was just gonna end two moves after... they should've just let the chair shot be the finish.

Ass

Hey man you guys watched this show already there’s other wcw insanity

waylo

Love Dan, glad to see him here. Great fit and great choice of dogshit show!

StairwellJam

Listen blokes this is great, love Dan Ryckert being in the gaff, Jeff Girstmann would be an incredible get...but err yeah...we more UFC fellas. We need it. A big Skee-Woah to yous.

Erratic Warlock

I can’t believe they got Shawn Michael’s cousin on the pod

Afromatt

I am sad we no longer get to vote but this does seem fun

IfWeShadows

Unless I've completely missed it (and I did go back and check just now), they haven't done Slamboree 2000 before. You're not the only one to bring it up, so maybe I'm wrong. And there's nothing wrong with legitimate criticism, btw. I can't say that I love the idea of bringing in randoms that may or may not click in a longform watchalong setting. Guess we'll see how it goes.

Brother D. Jack

i like this format. you guys should keep it going.

DEADLOCK

We did not do this show, we only watched the main event 5 years ago!

DEADLOCK

We have not watched this show, only the main event for Watch This 5 years ago.

DEADLOCK

I am not sure why anyone thinks that no one would ever pick UFC, lol. We didn't say this is a wrestling only thing. No need to worry!

scottelot

Oh wait oh my god yeah you're right I look like such an asshole I'm so sorry I have absolutely no clue WHY I mandela'd into my head that it was one of the early Watch This's back when it was still Watch This Live! I'm so sorry, man. 100% on my ass for not triple checking before I made this post.

Day'mon Harris

Do we still get to pick or no? because that would suck if not

VoidedG

they say the special guest of the episode gets to pick. Im assuming due to this they might open up recommendations to watch this

Day'mon Harris

i hope so..that would really be a bummer if they just left us out completly but im all for the new content anyways.

D.J.O.

Looking forward to the new content boyz or even just rewatching hogan’s shenanigans once in a while would be always a pleasure to watch lol

IfWeShadows

Agree, especially when some potential guests (cough Macho cough cough) have terrible tastes in wrestling.

IfWeShadows

Wouldn't mind seeing some nL alums join in. I could see Slip, Htial, Jericho, or Duel chatting along for a show, and you know the chemistry is already there with the boys.

Day'mon Harris

To be fair where he came from he didn't grow up with wrestling like others did, so i cannot really judge him due to that. but i just hope we get something out of this.

SomeDudeCalledChe

I’m curious, will there be any changes to Watch This going forward as well like maybe taking suggestions or will it be the same for the most part? Also loving all the content you guys have putting out recently!

DEADLOCK

We were waiting to announce it, but yes! There will be a monthly Watch This suggestion thread now. The March suggestion thread is now up!

rich bich

re: what Mark Madden is doing nowadays. there was a period of a few months where every deadlock pod would have an ad of him shilling for some like weight loss thing. at least in the Pittsburgh area

Russell Williams

thank god streamable links are back btw i hate dailymotion

Ass

Oh shit that’s right my bad

Dango Bango

I legit thought this was going to be MacGruber when I saw "Dan Ryckert suggested"

John Nickell

The guest list we have for this new gimmick will be awesome and who knows what they will pick. Best 10 bucks I can spend for endless content

James Rea

This whole damn thing from start to finish is gold boys 10/10 thank you 🫡 🤣💪

Kyle Sylvester

ya cause the suggestion thread always is fantastic wrestling cough cough one night stand 2007

Mah-Dry-Bread

That moonsault to Scott Steiner's head is the scariest shit I've seen in a while

Illustrious Zero

Every time James camera goes off, I just assume he is digging in his nose.

AGiantRoach

Love the new format and excited to see who else shows up each month. I'm totally with Dan when it comes to WCW being bad vs WWE being bad. I don't think I could have said it better myself. I do wonder if that person was joking about WWE podcasts trying to rip off Deadlock. That said I do remember a time where it seemed like WWE was trying to do internet content that was at least "inspired" by popular community content. Remember that Botchamania thing they tried to do with the Good Brothers?

Hugh Jazz

Next time watch “Macgluber”

Nathan Pierce

My ribs hurt from Dan’s news station story.

colleen

This rules, thanks for the (long way) new take on SGH. Can’t wait to see who shows up in the coming months !

Joe Swanson, wit da double Schism Knees

Honestly i was skeptical, mainly because i fucking love SGH but this was great. Concept is awesome and Dan was a great first guest, was up to date with all the deadlock bullshit and had great stories from this PPV. Loved it

Longways

Gawd dam that was dope. Dans stories were hilarious

R.L. Stine

Just got to that part and was losing my mind lololol

sooper boof

I swear that I've read that Flair wore his street clothes because he had no respect for Douglas.

Mah-Dry-Bread

This is legit one of the all time best full PPV watchalongs you guys have done. I hope Dan comes back sometime!

Hamzah

How are you gonna gatekeep one of their buddies for having a wrestling taste that perfectly aligns with the whole concept of this podcast? We watched The Big Show Show and a WWE Flinstone movie man

Hamzah

a TNA PPV The Long Way with MxM would be insane

Johnny bringing in duel as fake Tonypizzamang

Dan Ryckert's story of mailing a VHS of him beating the shit out of weather people on the N64 had me spitting my lunch out everywhere, that shit's so fucking funny lmao Great debut for the long way, great show

Belf

No fucking way, when did this happen??? I need to see this

KBahl

Everyone stealing each other's gimmicks, the news station story, and the thought of Johnny getting into a shoot fight with Joe Hendry has already made this a top tier deadlock product

JonHughes411

Regarding what Mark Madden does now, he’s a Sports Radio guy for 105.9 The X here in Pittsburgh. He’s just as insufferable as he was in WCW. Calls himself the Super Genius, and thinks he’s right and everyone else is wrong.

Tree of Woe Stink Face

Used to be a huge fan of Giant Bomb, Dan was probably the last person at that place that wanted to keep the sinking ship afloat. Really happy to see it's still doing well and he's the owner, he definitely deserves it because the man is dedicated to his hobbies.

Byron Pointer

loved listening to dan on the new day pod!! Immediately recognized his voice!

Cat wearing crocs

Don't worry, brother. If Steve Hickenbottom ever gets invited he can get suggest it!

Snappums

Dan Ryckert might be one of the most insane humans to ever live.

StinkStunk

The realest pain of being a local steelers fan.

StinkStunk

Would be amazing, I've followed brennan since he was on the super best friendcast (another couple of good possible guests)

Jack Kinghoff

Dan not knowing his left from his right made the first half hour of this confusing while I was trying to find him in the crowd. 10/10

Press X To Jason

Also, at like 4 minutes in, he says he’s “facing the hard cam”, turns out he’s on the hard cam side, same corner as the announcers, just perpendicular.

ashy elbows? you need some shea enrichener, son

Extremely fucked up that the man who wouldn't shut up about Kenny Omega on the Beastcast and is therefore largely responsible for me getting into wrestling is the premiere guest on a new show that starts right when I join the patreon

JoeRandomGames

You boys need to put TLW in Collections. I've been trying to figure out where this was the whole month 🤣

DEADLOCK

Great idea! Just added a new collection for it.

Neonwater

The camera cuts a second after Awesome tosses kanyon, did they MISS THE SHOT?

Swirls

love how James is eating the whole time-

Templuh

Dan if you are ever reading this i need you to know i have rewatched it 3 times just to rewatch you tell the story of you playing as austin beating up ur weather channel

Majin Tum Tum

Favourite moment was Funk stumbling around with the bin on his head lol. Quite a lot of fun stuff on this show

JackRyanForPope

I wish I could go back in time to tell you everything was gonna be A-OK :)

sooper boof

"I don't know, misfits. He doesn't look like a super genius to me.."

Jef

I can’t believe we witnessed…the genesis…of boner
