Houston Wrestling 1985 - Jim Duggan vs Ted Dibiase: Loser Leaves Town Coal Miner's Glove On A Pole Steel Cage Tuxedo Street Fight | DEADLOCK Watch This #214
Added 2024-11-08 20:00:06 +0000 UTCPotentially a first time here on WATCH THIS; we watch a match from before any of us were born! On this edition of Watch This, we take it back to the days of Houston Wrestling in 1985, where Jim Duggan was a regular, hard working man that fought for what he believed in, and Ted Dibiase was a snob that didn't exactly have a million dollars yet, but he was on his way. Also, yes, the match stipulation in the title is what is happening here. A Loser Leaves Town FOR 30 DAYS Coal Miner's Glove On A Pole Steel Cage Tuxedo Street Fight.

CMP3n1s haha
2025-02-03 08:31:29 +0000 UTCThis match put the Coal Miners glove over huge. The idea that a weapon is so devastating that itβs being held INSIDE of a cage with these men. And only one thwap puts the other guy out for the three? So sick old wresting rules!

I shouldn't have smoked that Giant Zaza pack, now I'm trapped in the Budokan with Johnny Ace. HELP
2025-01-20 22:56:08 +0000 UTCI think me and Jawny started tearing up at the same time towards the end of the match. MORE OF THIS PLEASE. I understand it only being here and there but I would love some more old school wrasslin reactions!

2025-01-06 06:12:20 +0000 UTCSouthern wrasslin' was something else. Jim Duggan was a fucking beast before he got to the fed and they turned him into a caricature. This match ripped. They don't make 'em like this anymore and they shouild.

2024-11-16 06:25:29 +0000 UTCI think everyone tends to forget that Duggan was a hell of a worker. We may joke about his WWF/WCW stuff there is a legit reason why he was around for so long. Good workers always have a spot on any roster.
Cali Jester
2024-11-15 21:55:18 +0000 UTCHouston must have been rich as hell with the 16:9. Way ahead of their time. In all seriousness, can we get more old shit on Deadlock?

2024-11-10 16:12:45 +0000 UTCI had to rewind to watch that bump in the corner where Ted folded harder than DiBiase around a stripper
Gimme Bob Sapp vs Great Kali at Inoki Bomaye in a shoot MMA fight
2024-11-10 07:46:33 +0000 UTCIn my mind this match alone is why Duggan vs Dibase won WON fued of the year in 1985. Nobody doing it better than this

TheDman0310 actually is here to fuck spiders, mate
2024-11-10 02:16:00 +0000 UTCWatching wrestling entirely through Deadlocked Syncs and these is insane because I know Jim Duggan entirely from the XWF and that one other episode, so watching his career in reverse starting with trying to put over General E. Rection and leading to now where he straight up just donkey punches Ted Dibiase in the fucking face is a journey.

2024-11-10 01:03:18 +0000 UTCJim Duggan is from my home town. He's like, the only notable person to come from here. Some local hot dog spot used to have an autographed 2x4 on display, and I feel like it doesn't get much more American than that lol.
I saw mayor glenn jacobs Isaac yankin his shmeat crazy style in the chumba casino bathroom
2024-11-09 23:14:11 +0000 UTCI might be one of the few here that was alive when this match happened lol

Hi woke up from a 4year coma. Hope I get a gimmick
2024-11-09 06:29:57 +0000 UTCI've never seen Duggan look so fucking cool in my life
Darren Williams
2024-11-09 04:15:56 +0000 UTCI'd be so down with you guys watching more of this older stuff. It's cool to see how much has/hasn't changed and it's just fun seeing these old crowds being super into it too. Not that their not today of course, it's just a bit of a different energy. This was awesome!
beanobaby
2024-11-09 04:13:30 +0000 UTCMuch like how OSW made me really love Earthquake, watching this and old Nitros with Deadlock really gives me an appreciation for Duggan. I only remember him as the goofy USA legend but wow what a fun match. Iβd love to watch more 80s wrestling.

2024-11-09 04:06:47 +0000 UTCholy shit this was kinda fire, these are what we need now. Jim Duggan kinda kicks ass too
RavenWood
2024-11-09 02:51:55 +0000 UTCIt was great seeing someone pull a wrestler back into the cage to keep the coward from running, rather than it involving the win con. Don't get me started about using the damn door to escape!

2024-11-08 22:54:31 +0000 UTCItβs crazy how you can put Jim Duggan in any decade and he still gets a pop. Slap him on a DPW show im chanting U S A
I got fired from chuckEcheese for getting topped up by some mom in the coat room while wearing the mouse costume
2024-11-08 22:39:36 +0000 UTCIs this the one where DiBiase showed up to the show driving a U-haul truck basically giving awa the finish?
