The Final WCW Thunder Episode - DEADLOCK Podcast Retro Review
Ойын-сауық
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.

Biggest villain in Deadlock history
James saying The Big Bang being an open thing fueled a ton of TEW saves is so true. I swear I've seen more WCW saves than ECW saves.

Johnny is right, but I feel like it has more to do with the fact that playing hardcore promotions in TEW is actually more strict than playing as a national level promotion with nearly infinite money.

It's definitely harder, but it's not impossible. You'd have to mess with the mod a bit if you want it to be fair.

I was one. Feel old yet?
22:20 did someone ripped a massive banger?!
I legit had no idea Kid Kash ever worked for WCW. I feel like a lot of what happened on Thunder has been lost to history.

Losing what happened on Thunder is actually the most humane thing to do.

DAMN IT JOHN! At 22:10 you got me laughing to you repeating "DOO DOO"🤣🤣(I'm high af ngl)
Tony hating the Gory Bomb/Gory Special is my least favorite piece of Deadlock lore cuz I love those moves
Two pieces of lost footage that will never be seen the Cesaro/Gunther match from the European tour and the canceled ICP wrestling show
What a good episode of Thunder OR MAYBE NOT BROTHER!
Holy shit never in my life did i think god damn Shepherdsville Kentucky would have a news story like that. Its the definition of a quiet little town. Lovely place though.
3:00 i saw Icp in poughkeepsie Ny, like 2001, riots broke out over Juggalos defending a kid getting jumped by security over the new smoking ban.... thry jumped the bar, stole all alcohol, beat up mad security dudes and destroyed the place, all with Icp egging it on😂

"I'm glad Thunder died" 😭
Funny the ropes are red: theu taped both Nitro and Thunder together for cost cutting measures
Thunder was taped right so it would be on after Nitro
Oh myyyyyy
reviewing the final Thunder "making his WCW debut, Cash" Tony: "this was his one and only WCW match" well, yeah, no shit... lol
Somebody blew ass is this episode and i want to know who did it
If I recall it was mostly Warner and Turner broadcasting that wanted to get rid of wrestling from there networks as soon as the poorly timed merger with Aol happened heck it was gonna happen earlier had not the whole thing taken a while so yeah either way WCW was very screwed of loosing that turner tv spot. Also around that time a lot of people wanted to buy it and I mean a lot of people for how cheap it was to get like Ric Flair, Chris Jericho, and heck even Inoki wanted as well fusion media but once they checked further the financial stuff they realized how much of a money drain it was they lower there price to buy it until WWE took it.

WCW was Ted Turner's private project and he threw good money after bad into it because he wanted wrasslin' on his superstation, so the moment he and his infinite money glitch of a checkbook were gone it was really just a matter of time.
Fuuuuuuuck yes!!!
If Scott Steiner isn’t on this show then it sucked exponentially.
The advertising community?!
Thunder is still airing today the fact that you knock heads are watching it RIGHT NOW 🚬🥴... proves it... 🚬🥴🚬🥴🚬🥴🚬🥴🚬🥴. Time to get lit...
