James was on his Horny Gimmick with that Sasha Melina spot and I don't blame him one bit. That aside, I would love to see more "Not-So-Retro" Syncs, its fun seeing the boys tear into more modern bad wrestling.
It really is insane when you think about it, WWE had (and still has) some of the best wrestlers in the world working for them. It's almost impressive that they managed to make the product as boring as it was when you consider how talented 90% of the people on the roster were.
It really proves that when a wrestling show gets big enough, the quality of that show is more of a reflection of the people behind the scenes than of the wrestlers themselves
@@1KQ_ It has been great since Vince left, not perfect but a lot better than it was before. But even when WWE was at peak "Ahhh, Dogshit" territory, there were still a lot of super talented workers.
Man 2 years later..... so much has changed. Brocks gone, Sami a main eventer, Bobby Roode retired due to injury, Vince Mcmahon got fired and Shinsuke still being unused lol
The greatest redemption arc to Roman packing and smoking Seth Rollins at this event, Roman once again packing and smoking Seth on TWO separate nights of Wrestlemania 40
I really like jizzy, but his "I'm a art house wrestling fan" schtick is REALLY lame and tiring. "Fed bad" in 2024 just makes you look like a massive try hard.
That sigh right at the start says so, so much...that ain't the sigh of "thank god the work day is over," that ain't the sigh of "let's kick our feet up and watch some good ol' wrestlin," that ain't even the sigh of 8:59AM on a Monday, that's the sigh of "your too-big-to-ignore client calls at 4:59PM on a Friday and they're starting construction on your route home this weekend."
As someone who was there, I loved it, and then the car ride home. We all collectively started to understand how we were fucked over. And then we started to hate.
Piper / Doudrop vs. Becky was good from a purely in-ring perspective, because they're two good workers, but it was hampered by the fact the crowd couldn't have given a shit about it.
Its funny looking back at the Seth/Roman match and how much the boys hated the ending, but it's now canon lore that this led to Roman dropping the title in the 2nd Cody match. Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this is where they started adding 'style' to the end of everything, because of this match.
The hot dog vs hamburger style thing came from an even earlier Q&A segment (Johnny references it in this one) but the shield stuff definitely contributed
@leonidas1749 I'm honestly surprised that this is the first time I've heard "shield style" and no one else I don't think has ever mentioned it or reposted it before 😂 It was so funny to me every time
The Wrestlemania sign caught on fire, though, so it wasn’t all bad. But there was a stage light in our eyes the whole time. We were behind the Mania sign so we only saw bits and pieces of what seemed like a solid Lynch-Niven match. And those two rumble matches … yikes.
Was there live. The sign took away absolutely all attention from the womens title match. We were directly behind and under it so we couldn't see shit anyway😂
Me and my brothers were there and I do not remember anything from Becky’s match except the sign. And the boos for Brock wining was insane, as soon I heard his music I looked at my brothers and said we can go home now I’ve seen this shit before
Ah yes… The Royal Rumble match that exposed def rebel for being mostly terrible and where Shane McMahon put himself over everyone like he was Hulk Hogan, burying several top stars (fucking had him eliminate Kevin Owens and out-box MMA fighter Matt Riddle for fucks sake…) and getting himself fired by HIS OWN DAD as a result. We all should’ve known this show was gonna be a dumpster fire (outside of Seth/Roman) when the Mania sign caught fire lol
As someone who got into wrestling in 2023, it's borderline a crime how much the scene changed in a full year. Half of the women in this match aren't even whispered about in WWE anymore. I'm sitting here wondering when does someone from Damage Control show up, and they drag out Lita and Molly Holly. I heard how bad the Vince booking was but this is like, you should be able to file a class action lawsuit on the WWE with how bad this was. Also I have been asking for a full year, what happened with AJ Styles and Shinsuke. I didn't see none of the old stuff, I just would like to know how two of the biggest names in wrestling are now being jobbed out to LA Knight. Least Shinsuke had a run where he only lost to top guys.
As someone who was there live, do not do be fooled by how funny this video was: nothing was funny about how putrid both rumble matches were. Not only worst wrestling show I’ve ever been to, but worst ticketed event I’ve ever been to
Yeah because if there's a wrestling story there isn't enough content about on the internet it's wanking over the same three month storyline being played on nonstop loop for about 4 years and being called the Bloodline
Like and comment if you wanna see more of these "Not-So-Retro" Syncs!
More AEW!
absolutely man, I love hearing them talk about the current stuff.
Yes please!
hell yeah brother those not so retros are totally shield style
Absolutely
Booker T straight up guessing Brock Lesnar would win the rumble is so fucking diabolical that I have to imagine he pulled a shoot
Yeah honestly, knowing Booker, that probably was a real shoot lmfao
@@tysontaggart7246 It had to be there's no WAY WWE thought feeding him that line was a good idea
@@TravisBroski 101% he was shooting, can't convince me he wasnt
Love these modern syncs, hearing the boys talk about the slop of this era is amazing
completely agree, this shit is great
no its all good
the miz is good
2008 was good
@@TeamKP1me in the Gen-Z wrestling brainwashing machine 1984 style
@@TeamKP1 It's pretty nutty to look back at the 2006-2010 and realize how ass it was as someone that grew up enjoying that era and svr 2008.
My man hitting the synchs Shield-style!
Thank you for making this wonderful sync and how dare you remind me that Shane was in the final four of a rumble only two years ago.
because i must share my pain
Of course he's in the final four, he's the Best in the WOOOOOOORLD
Multiple synchs in one day? What a blessing
My thoughts exactly!
Sailor Moon Sasha Banks is based as hell
James was on his Horny Gimmick with that Sasha Melina spot and I don't blame him one bit. That aside, I would love to see more "Not-So-Retro" Syncs, its fun seeing the boys tear into more modern bad wrestling.
You knew the Royal Rumble is cursed when the WrestleMania sign catches fire from the pyro… TWICE!!
god, the "SHIELD style" shit was killin me, please do more of these syncs
SAMI!!!! SAMI WE'RE GONNA GET YOU OUTTA THERE!!!!
They did not get him out 😂
love any review that starts with one of the boys letting out a huge sigh
I’m going to go full Damian mode: Shield Style if you don’t make more not-so-retro modern deadlock episodes
Shield laugh Shield style

Deadlock Current Sync FTW!! ❤ All Hail King Cocker!! 👑
Hilarious sync dude. The intro alone had me thinking "Aw yeah man, this is gonna be a good one." And it was!
The greatest redemption arc to Roman packing and smoking Seth Rollins at this event, Roman once again packing and smoking Seth on TWO separate nights of Wrestlemania 40
We've been cheated out of the timeline where DPW books TenCozy vs Alpha Academy
No joke, The Creeds in DPW would be fucking sick!
We should've gotten an angle in DPW where TenCozy won all the gold. Including the women's title.
The Rumble where Shane tried to big league everyone and made a scene backstage and got fired
I've rewatched the shield segment so many times by this point 😂😂 I'm so pleased someone is making Not-So-Retro Syncs ❤❤
The more time passes in WWE the more James hates it
It’s 2024 and Vince is GONE there’s no way he hates it 😂 oh wait cm punk is there
@@BigBadWolf30he definitely hates anything new wwe
He fucks with punk, he just hates all things fed
@@johnappleseed6210 he hasn’t been a punk fan since the AEW drama

2 synchs in one day im eating fr
I swear i watched all the sum gon happens this month😭
As someone who was there, I loved it, and then the car ride home. We all collectively started to understand how we were fucked over. And then we started to hate.
"NO NOTES?!" Needs to be a Sound clip 😂
the script writers cooked dropping 2 syncs in one day were blessed 🙏
Im ashamed to admit the only match I missed on this card was Seth and Roman. Im upset I missed it because they had a banger
Piper / Doudrop vs. Becky was good from a purely in-ring perspective, because they're two good workers, but it was hampered by the fact the crowd couldn't have given a shit about it.
Thank you for doing original deadlock sync podcast and not just wait for the other guy to do a video and title it different like many do
Love the retro syncs but this is a nice change of pace! Keep up the great work!! 💪🏻
2 syncs in 1 day is great and all BUT DID YOU SEE SASHA BANKS AND MELINA HIT THE SPLITS?!
Sweet upload. More please
Ohh man the first 10min of this is GOLD😭
10:35 I don't blame you James 😂

I can't believe I hadn't put 2 and 2 together before hearing this but Naomi is very much so girl Goto, except she's actually been champion lmaoooo
We ABSOLUTELY NEED more modern syncs. It’s a shame the boys don’t do these anymore, but going back to these as not-so-retro is perfect for syncs‼️
10:04
Jawny:”whah whah aa whah whah”
xD
THE STREETS NEEDED THESE, WE NEEDED THESE
Man, I miss Booooogs. Also, almost 3 years later, and they are still doing that timekeeper's barricade spot Every. Single. Night.
God, I was in the building for this. PTSD is hitting so hard
Thank you Mr cocker
i liked the modern WWE podcast episodes. A MITB not-so-retro sync would be sweet
I think someone did that already and it got hit with copyright claims
That classic Rumble theme at the outro took me back.
God, I was at this PPV. I’ve never clicked play so hard on a video in my life.
The Wrestlemania sign caught on fire, though, so it wasn’t all bad. But there was a stage light in our eyes the whole time. We were behind the Mania sign so we only saw bits and pieces of what seemed like a solid Lynch-Niven match. And those two rumble matches … yikes.
It's so funny that you led in with the *SIGH*
Any deadlock syncs are greatly desired and appreciated
18:20 lol the second zoom in on Johnny got me
Rhea even got over with the boys in the one WWE show they watched in 2022. Of course she was gonna become the biggest star in the business
Oh hell yeah a deadlock sync of something nobody else has done
big pop for the big rigs You’re Winner
Modern Syncs are awesome! Love hearing the boys shit on wrestling nowadays
this is the only rumble ive never been able to sit through all they way, i enjoy 2015 more than this one lmaoo
I am down for any and all syncs. Always.
100%
1000%
SKEEEEEEEE (AND I MEAN FOR SHOOT BROTHER) WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shoutout Steve and Larson
Need a WrestleMania 37 edit.
👀
6:08 I said the same thing xD
I saw it real time, I wasn’t in shock I was confused why tf this had to stop Roman
Was there live. The sign took away absolutely all attention from the womens title match. We were directly behind and under it so we couldn't see shit anyway😂
It makes me laugh that “Shield style” is where the many variations of “style” originate from in Deadlock.
I see westside gunn in the cut 😂
John got sign juice on him... SHIELD STYLE
MOST ELIMINATIONS, in a single Rumble... Sho Funaki (2000) and Mick Foley (1998) both eliminated 3 times
Me and my brothers were there and I do not remember anything from Becky’s match except the sign. And the boos for Brock wining was insane, as soon I heard his music I looked at my brothers and said we can go home now I’ve seen this shit before
I will comment the long way

Could of just looped Sasha hitting the Melina splits with the boys singing Tamina's theme
Awesome
Melina vs Sasha in a splits off should've been the main event
THIS IS THE SHIELD COMMENT
OH MY????
Liking and commenting for more “not-so-retro” syncs!
“BRO MADARA UCHIHA MAN
COME ON
WHY YOU SAY THAT?” 🤣
Tony big fuckin Uchiha guy!
Jawnny big fuckin... not Uchiha guy.

This was one of the last wwe ppvs I ever watched 😂
2024 wwe is pretty sick
a window back into the near past of a truly truly shit time
The roman seth match pisses me off so much that this thier frist solo fued since the breakup and we got a fuck finish
*que Eric Bischoff theme song*
1:12 sooo…it would’ve been Sunday Night Heat??
3:27 Jawnny should have sent that out
WHICH EPISODE IS THIS
The idea of Roman/Seth is Roman eont get over his betrayal that's really all there is to it.
I completely memory holed this show for good reason it seems
Which episode is this from?
Episode 127, it's up in the rop right corner

Why he not have camera?
It's just his thing
As someone who was there live, do not do be fooled by how funny this video was: nothing was funny about how putrid both rumble matches were. Not only worst wrestling show I’ve ever been to, but worst ticketed event I’ve ever been to
I'm sorry to hear that. thanks for sharing your pain, champ!
This reminds me why im fine with them not doing modern shit cause god when james doesnt even want to like something he is insufferable
Bro Rick roogs is just hector garza 😭
The Kid Cuisine Dome in StL, its only certain lights and signs will melt at an attendance level of more than the janitors on duty.
God… thank so much for triple H taking over booking. What was Vince thinking?
Crazy that Deadlock syncs are more popular than their own patreon.
It’s just the better way
20:23 Bad edit. Otherwise, great video.
It makes me sad that one of the few times they decided to watch modern wrestling, it was the worst Royal Rumble ever LMAO
