We want to hear your questions, DEADLOCK Patreon!

Hey! We made a Q&A thread a couple months ago, and we haven't gotten around to doing one since then, so we figured we'd make a new thread for some new questions!

This is just a chance for some newer questions to make it in, as well.

Comment below with a question that you'd like to hear us answer on an upcoming episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast.

Whether it's to do with pro wrestling, video games, DEADLOCK, or anything that you want to hear us talk about, you can ask it below, and we'll pick from the comments. Also, make sure to ❤️ other questions that you are interested in hearing the answers for.

What are you boys reading at the moment?

VEGAMAN

What horror movies have yall been watching this spooky season?

Normal name

Alright so you tried serious DPW, is it time to run it back with hee hee ha ha DPW like you used to joke about before the real one? The world has had an unfilled void since Chikara died and I think there's room for more fun in wrestling.

Yaboistraw

what’s a purchase looking back on that you realize you spent waaaay too much on?? like collectible or card etc

Samuel Muraira

Where did James get the gong and where did he get the idea

bluefox2001

Hey boys, on a weight loss journey right now What are some legit good beginner dumbbell exercises for muscle gain?

J Wick

What do you guys think of modern AEW? Do you follow it outside the podcast at all?

Taylor

I know yall tend to not talk about modern wrestling but is there any newer wrestlers that stick out to you?

RJ Lowe

If you were forced to erase a wrestler from existence would it be stone cold or aj styles

Batista vs. Simon Dean from Smackdown 9/1/05 Fan (edited)

2026-10-21 02:00 James, what are your thoughts on CookOuts without the double drive thru lanes? The one closest to my house looks like a bank and only has one lane. I fucking hate, man. Whoever designed it should be drawn and quartered.

Albert Softie

to johnny: how the fuck can you watch baseball and not be an alcoholic

Eli Bennett

Why do you call it the deadlock after show when it always comes out before the podcast? Shouldn’t it be called the deadlock preshow?

Corn Billberg Longs the Gold Way

Outside of wrestling what toys did y'all have as kids? I know you both love Power Rangers, so curious to hear what y'all were hyped up about back in the day.

Benjamin Hilton

Why can’t Johnny pronounce ‘water’ correctly?

Noah Sayers

What was you guys' proudest moment booking DPW?

AngerManagement

AHHHHH WHY IS BIG SHOW SO ANGREY AND STINKY LIKE THE BURRITO HE SHAT THAT ONE TIME? Ya know?

Wreck Tootle

What wrestling are you boys following outside of the podcast currently? Any indies? Keeping up with any of the old DPW fellas?

spongeycloud

favorite found footage horror movies? ive been diving in deep this spooky season. recommend the creep series and any koji shiraishi movies you can find

Mason Sartin

You have to pick ONE wrestler that you hate, for whatever reason (morally, personally, you think they absolutely suck, etc), and make them the top guy. Who are you picking and why?

Nyx Miles

Hey Jame and Jawn, I was wondering how you guys felt about your following in the game community

Cali Jester

Which wrestler from WCW would you love to see in a horror franchise? ie Shane Douglas in SAW or Booker T in Terrorizer.

Conor O'Donnell

Question for Jawnny. I remember on an NL charity stream years ago that you guys had Vince Russo on playing Jackbox games and stuff. If you’re able to talk about it, how was the experience having him on and have you spoken to him since?

VELOCITYinc

Would you guys consider turning SGH into a monthly (or bi monthly) UFC watch along?

trewqwert

Hey boys, law student and hogdipper here. What’s your favorite legal story in wrestling, either kayfabe or real? Hogan suing Russo over defamation still wilds me out after watching the Bash at the Beach 2000 SGH

The Philly Fernetic,And His Fucked Up Face! Yikes!

I feel like we as fans have our own favorite Deadlock greatest hits moments, but what are a few of your guys' favorite/funniest moments in the history of the pod? Also, FUCK DA EAGLES but I genuinely hope Hurts is okay and able to come back from his injury. Horrifying stuff

Noah Sayers

What are the boys expectations for GTA 6?

Ty the XWF jabroni

Who is your favorite all time promoters? (And why is it herb abrams)

Brady Hoffman

Uh, ummmmmm, uh, y’all like wrestling?

Anthony Davis

Hey guys I love your podcast and been listening for about 3 years now. One of the things I loved hearing about is some of the craziest things yall experienced in life much like the airplane from hell when yall went to and left Japan, Pulse and his laptop situation, or the Burger King foot lettuce. My question I wanted to ask is what is the worst concert experience both of yall had?

AsheBlender

Do you think you guys would ever post the whole playthroughs of some of the games you play in the aftershow? I really enjoyed the left 4 dead one and kinda want to see how the whole session went!

KunTa KonG

Since "Stone Cold Steve Austin" is owned by WWE. If he ever left for another company what could've Steve Williams done not being Ol' Stone Cold?

Deadlock Boys johnny and James need to watch Batman forever For SGH Because of the Story of Tommy lee jones aka two-face and ji

Funny Question boys: if you were given the opportunity if dpw was still around today to book heiderench for a meet and greet and do something on the show , what segment Will have you done ,like heiderench mananing mad dog connelly or manage the beast mortos or even read a poem about dpw or Maybe give heiderench a giant DPW exclusive Chocolate bar , thanks boys???

2026-10-20 05:00 If you could bring back a defunct video game franchise, one that hasn't been given an HD remake or anything of the sort, which would it be?
2026-10-20 01:30 If you could bring back a defunct video game franchise, one that hasn't been given an HD remake or anything of the sort, which would it be? Also, who do you have for the World Series? Brewers or Rays?

One Big Ahh Poo

Probably because they record it after the show

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Love the pod, and love the AFTERSHOW! You guys playing games is always a blast to watch. Wanted to ask 2 things: Have you heard of Clone Hero? It's basically open-source Guitar Hero, with people making custom tracks of all kinds of songs/memes/other nonsense. Will you guys play Rogue Warrior, the FPS about Dick Marcinko?

Local Talent The Cursed Jobber

I'm not really interested in paying $60/$70 a year for WWE games and AEW won't stop signing people to get a finalized roster for AEW Fight Forever 2, so what wresting game would you recommend I get as a must-buy for wrestling fans?

Mark of Minos

No funny business here. What is your actual favorite sandwich and from where?

Eli Bennett

Probably should release it after the show then

Adel Maverick

Do you guys have any favorite animes, and do you prefer subbed or dubbed?

Scootr

GOTTA be Shark Boy beats "Sharkboy and Lavagirl" . O H S H E L L Y E A H

Dan Ryckert

hey have you guys seen macgruber

DEADLOCK

Hi Eli, we do release it after the show! It isn't immediately after, but we always make sure to have the Aftershow drop before a new podcast comes out. The Aftershow takes a lot of editing, much like the podcast. We just do our best!

KangOfTheBigSandwich

Are there any retro reviews that you haven't done yet, that you want to do on the podcast?

WCW should have been bought by Clips4sale.com

Maybe this was discussed before but I wanted to ask after listening to the Halloween ends takedown, what are you guys favorite (or least favorite) horror franchises (or movies in general)

KangOfTheBigSandwich

I think Mystery Wrestling has comfortably filled that in the last year or 2, Cecil Nyx and Psycho Mike alone have changed the comedy wrestling game

Tyler Mathieson

What are some of your favourite Post workout meals or your favourite cheat meal

POD7

What is the worst wrestling show you ever attended?

Gill Boldgerb

James, how did you handle stepping away from wrestling yourself? I also tried wrestling before quitting for personal reasons, and would love to know your experience.

AnonymousDogDad

I was at the finger poke of doom Nitro. What are some scenarios that could have shifted that night to have a positive ending? I still say something like a commissioner coming out and forcing them to provide a match to the crowd, and then you get a tag match with Nash and Hogan versus another team. Sting and Macho?

HadABonerThoughtOfPusleBCMyDickTheCockJohnsonHad1

Where the boys ever into pic fed at all? I love making pic fed for YouTube and growing up I was heavily inspired by it, wanted to know if yall shared anything similar!!! Much love!

Skeleboi

If you could, would you?

Josh Bailey

I am also dying to know this

Eli Bennett

That’s great guys! The joke is you release an aftershow before the show therefore it’s a preshow. Guess it’s not an easy thing to explain over a screen. Insert a stupid poop joke instead here as a replacement.

Josh Bailey

Do you have any crazy/funny DPW stories you'd be willing to share now that it's been shuttered?

Yousif Salah

If you have or ever had a friend that wasn't into pro wrestling, what's your go-to first match to show them

Jake Richardson

Would the boyz consider having a Patreon hog dipper for the 3rd and guest spot on the long way?

Kane Bluey

What is it like seeing so many DPW alumni succeeding in AEW and WWE? Dani Luna and Hyan doing a staredown on PPV with a DPW chant in the background felt crazy just as a fan, I can't imagine what it's like for you guys.

Ralph de las Alas

What's your favorite console that you currently own and what makes it your favorite? What's your least favorite console that you currently own as well?

John Lavelle

Who do you guys main in Smash?

Smitty Powers

What kind of music have the boys been listening to lately?

Hoss Delgado

Now that yall are DeadLock'd in, what's your Sheetz order lookin like?

Treadcutter213

Do any of the DPW roster that are now signed ever ask your input on anything? Promos, matches, direction, anything of that sort.

Mayfly

What’s one thing you guys wish you could have done with DPW?

Hoss Delgado

philly wudder does that to ya, brudda

john feuerhelm

One ? U Got answered Recently about a wrestling storyline that blew your mind outside of Heindenreich Chocolate bar entrance. For its finding out the Title that Rhyno had in the Sack on The episode of TNA was actually the X Division title

Flores05

Hey guys, been following da big D since 2021 and have loved the pod ever since. I remember when you guys would cover current wrestling and have been wondering if there’s ever a world where you guys would do that again?

Normal name

That's for true, love me some Mystery Wrestling.

bacon_67_

Can I go dookie the long way? Please? It's been days. You know I can only go dookie the long way and only do f you say it's okay? Also this is a joke i love the pod don't ban me.

bacon_67_

If the boys had a deadlock wrestling video game (not DPW related) who would be on the roster and why? Also would it be meme related to the podcast or just guys and gals IRL you want in the game?

lilpathetic

Hey Jawnny and James, so many former DPW stars are really killing it right now in AEW, how does it feel to have some former DPW champions being recognized on such a large stage for the world to see? I'd love to hear how yall feel :) love what yall do - new and forever dpw fan 🫶

Nick Cumberbatch

Question for you both. Can any of you do a great Meatwad impression?

Till Linderbee

When are we gonna get the poop review segment?

ContriteSnake7

Whats the future with the DPW library? Is On Demand going to remain up, or are we going to get more free matches & shows on YouTube?

Till Linderbee

I’ve really enjoyed watching yall play through until dawn on the after show, have yall considered trying out any other coop horror games I’d love to see yall play the outlast trials.

Ryback

Do you guys have any "What Ifs?" In wrestling? Like what if the Sprit Squad was able to continue and they ended up having a Bloodline-like push and they consumed the main event picture for the next 6 years.

Dick B. Stanken

What's the official DPW cold oatmeal recipe? I've tried making it at home and haven't had any success. I'm hungry.

heather?

If you got to do a series of DPW figures who would be in the first set?

Cosmic WinRAR

If you had to stick with either the confetti cannon or the gong, which would each of you choose?

Kallum Sturdy

we all need to know, what is the dog doin...

Terence Wiggins

What are the physical benefits of throwing that ass in a circle?

Se7eNdotJPEG

How much does it mean to you guys to see all of these DPW alumni now on the big stage with AEW??

James Phillips

When are the boys gonna get weirdly into Magic the gathering

WWF No Mercy

WWF No Mercy

username checks the fuck out

Cosmic WinRAR

Can the gong be the third member of the weekly podcast? Get the gong a camera and everything?

dungus

What's your most tired wrestling trope? Mine is when 6 guys gather for one guy to jump on them or when a wrestler hooks the outside leg near the ropes for a pin and they use the other leg to always kick out

Matthew McMillen

Currently Blasting the No Way Jose Theme as I Hump My GF Schloppy Chase Richardson Style here with a question for both of y’all: what would some of y’all’s favorite potential alternate timelines in pro wrestling history be? Like what if Triple H took over WWE creative sooner or if Stone Cold Steve Austin was never injured with the Piledriver by Owen Hart?

Dick B. Stanken

Would you rather have your dad beat you but every time he beats you, you get a little bit hard? Or not?

Cosmic WinRAR

More serious question: How do you guys actually pick episodes? Is it a back and forth thing?

Tigerband66

What wrestling matches from this year would you both recommend to someone who doesn't keep up with much outside of the American wrestling space?

Hobo Joe

If I held out a big red flag like a matador, which one of you would be most likely to try and run through it?

Deli Platter

If your hand could dispense a condiment for each finger, what five condiments would you choose?

TJ Dub

Hey boys, I'm a commentator for West Coast Pro. I've been doing student shows for them since February and I'm thrilled to be on the call for their upcoming 8th Anniversary show. As this is still my first year of wrestling commentary, and you had some first hand experience with both doing commentary and overseeing it in DPW, I'd love to get your thoughts on it. What are some things in commentary you love and don't see enough of, and what do you dislike or think is overdone?

Tony

Did either of you guys ever play any PS2 wrestling games online back in the day? I'm curious what that experience was like.

Ryan

Is there one Deadlock-ism you wish would go away? Shout out Chase Richardson.

The homunculus

Do you guys fuck with the Silent Hill movie? I think that shit rocks. Keep on dipping in the free world

SweetPandemonium182

James, have you or would you ever consider a return to streaming or YouTube again even if it was sporadically. I continue to re-watch the let's plays on the pulse in progress channel and hope you return eventually or atleast keep the channel up.

Ol' Stone Toad

What shows would you say are must-watch for a wrestling fan?

Surv1vor1993

What horror movie is Jawnny going to spoil next?

Sweetz

How often do you guys still talk with Tony? Is there any chance we see him return for like a one-off The Long Way episode? Love you boys :D

Richard Ives

What has been your favourite movie from the past year?

Richard Ives

Have you guys seen the Dateline movie? Hopefully they caught Chase Richardson

paynexkiller

What say do the Deadlock boys have in the decisions and booking around the DPW women’s championship as it’s still active? Do you decide who it’s defended against, who goes over or anything like that? Thank you!

Joey The Tricky

Has there or will there ever be an episode you two refuse to review for any reason whatsoever (for example, Benoit's last WWECW appearance)? Would also lowkey be interested in seeing you guys review PPV's in the same style. Cheers!

sandeezy

I have the same last name as Kendrick Lamar

What is James’ favorite Rob Van Dam match? Plenty a time he’s talked about how much he loves RVD, curious to know if he’s got one specific match picked out and whether it’s ECW or WWE

Mikey Reynolds

Sort-of DPW question - with promotions like DPW and Prestige (that felt like the next generation of top tier indies) closing their doors, from your experience do you think the indie scene has changed too much with the age of AEW and WWE expanding their rosters along with programmes like WWEID for these promotions to thrive? It feels like most ‘indies’ in the future will be tied to a school providing cheap talent and experience, rather than booking rising stars, flying guys in etc.

Nightblade420

Is there a way we as fans can help bring back DPW? Someof the best ( Indy or professional) matches I’ve seen where booked by you guys.

WhenisTheOscarMayerWeinerGala

Christian Vazquez

Would yall ever watch more tv or movies. Loved the power rangers stuff you guys did some time ago

Aaron Knight

Can you review the Raw in Indy when the shield broke up? I was there. There is also a great spot where Hornswaggle wears an afro wig.

Alex Frye

Hey Jawnny, what's your favorite Anthony Graves match??

Tyler Smith

What tips do you have on being DEADLOCKED IN as far as dieting is concerned? I have no idea how to cook but I also hate tracking calories and weighing/measuring food.

Liam Cheek Jr.

Will there be any more ECW reviews in the future? If so, for that we thank you.

Two-Tone MoonStone

I watched all of the Saw movies for the first time last year and really enjoyed them. I’m almost finished with my marathon of them this year and I’m wondering what your top five is in the series? Thanks boys, your drops always make my day a little better
