to:

* {{Acrofatic}}: Gringo Loco is a little on the chubby side, but he can fly no problem. Bojack is a huge man, yet can moonsault like Wrestling/{{Vader}}. Calvin Tankman is an even better example as he can pull off ''running'' Shooting Star Presses.



* TheBerserker: Yoscifer seems to be a more historically accurate version of the historical berserkers compared to Wrestling/JohnNord's gimmick.



** Yoscifer was a more dangerous example, as while he apparently didn't even know the rules of pro wrestling matches, he was still a legitimate threat for his size, strength and [[NoSell ability to shrug off]] most other wrestler's offense.

Deadlock Pro Wrestling (stylished as DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling), is an American ProfessionalWrestling promotion based in North Carolina. The brainchild of James Darnell, Anthony Douglas, and John Blud, who are long-time creators in the pro wrestling space and the founders of DEADLOCK, a professional wrestling-based entertainment brand founded in 2019, which is mostly known for their flagship podcast known as "The DEADLOCK Podcast". Hosted by the boys, the podcast is an off-the-rails look back at pro wrestling's highest & lowest points along with various segments such as the "Patreon Q&A" and the "Untitled Theme Song Segment". The boys then decided the next logical step was create a promotion of their own, which they did at the end of 2021.

Deadlock Pro Wrestling (stylished as DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling), is an American ProfessionalWrestling promotion based in North Carolina.

Hosted by the boys, the podcast is an off-the-rails look back at pro wrestling's highest & lowest points along with various segments such as the "Patreon Q&A" and the "Untitled Theme Song Segment". The boys then decided the next logical step was create a promotion of their own, which they did at the end of 2021.

The promotion features free shows on Youtube, with an hourly show called DPW Fire and another called DPW Spark, as well as regular pay per views that are only available to subscribers of their DPW on Demand website.

DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling recognizes four titles that are defended at its shows;

* '''DPW Worlds Champion''': '''Bojack''' since January 8, 2022
* '''DPW Worlds Tag Team Champions''': '''The Reality X NDA''' (Chance Rizer & Patrick Scott) since April 16, 2022
* '''DPW National Champion''': '''Calvin Tankman''' since July 10, 2022
* '''DPW Women’s Worlds Champion''': '''Raychell Rose''' since August 8, 2022

!!! "The Tropes Are Back In Town":
* {{Acrofatic}}: Gringo Loco is a little on the chubby side, but he can fly no problem.
* AscendedFanBoy: Chris Danger was originally just a Create A Wrestler creation of Chris Denker based on himself.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The promotion itself heavily uses orange and black.
* CrossThrough: Regularly features wrestlers under contract from other promotions like Wrestling/{{AEW}}, Wrestling/ImpactWrestling, Wrestling/{{MLW}}, the Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance, Wrestling/DragonGate Wrestling/TokyoJoshiProWrestling, etc.
* DreadlockWarrior: Bojack, his RedBaron is the "Dreadlock Demolition Machine".
* TheGiant: Parodied by Andrew Everett, proclaiming (and having the announcer list him as) to be 7ft 4in (he is around 5ft 9in), insists on climbing over the ropes to enter them during his walkout entrance, and using the chokeslam as a SignatureMove.
** A straight example would be Krule, who stands nearly 7ft tall and is the tallest wrestler to have wrestled for the promotion so far.
* InsistentTerminology: For some reason all their championships use "Worlds" instead of the singular term.
* ScaryBlackMan: Bojack and Calvin Tankman, two huge, powerhouse style, black men.
* SmugSnake: Chris Danger and his NDA.
* WrestlingFamily: Colby Corino, the son of Wrestling/{{ECW}} alumni Steve Corino.
