It’s the origin of our love story with AEW’s RJ City— recorded all the way back in 2019!This pre-dates his brief stint in WWE, his time with AEW and so much more; he was just a humble indie wrestling comedian making coffee in his underwear. RJ tells us all about what it’s like to be a triple threat in the world of entertainment, the cross-section of comedy and what he actually thinks would help wrestling go mainstream. Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Our beloved RJ City has finally returned to the podcast!He’s been an AEW broadcaster and personality for years now. He’ll tell us how the company has changed since his start. RJ will also explain how he and Toni Storm collaborated to create the “Timeless” character (hint: It was almost entirely here), the balance of freedom and structure that AEW has to straddle and why he thinks fans of the company could stand to be more critical of it. But since it’s RJ City, we naturally get side-tracked and discuss everything from 90s sitcoms to fashion choices.Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Hal Lublin makes his triumphant return and finally gets the chance to share what’s been on his mind.Specifically, the state of the World Heavyweight Championship. Has WWE effectively capitalized on Jey Uso’s popularity? And is Gunther the right person to hold the World Title in Goldberg’s presumed retirement match?Plus, with King and Queen of the Ring well underway, we continue to advocate for Jade Cargill as our winner on the women’s side and wonder who would be the right choice for the men.The Main Event:Liv Morgan has really leveled up in the past year and a half. Now her momentum has been derailed by an untimely injury, but hopefully it's not enough to stop her from playing into WWE's plans this summer.The Three Count:Danielle put over Rhea Rhipley training Zelina Vega. Lindsey put over Kairi Sane's reaction to Liv's injury.Hal put over Cathy x Rhea Shipping.Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

What a complete emotional whiplash after last week! Money in the Bank was a fine PLE that delivered some great highlights; not the least of which is Naomi as the brand new Ms. Money in the Bank! Plus, R-Truth made his short-awaited return, and has redefined himself as Ron Killings. We geek out about some of these great developments and look ahead to who we think would be a great Queen and King of the Ring.The Three Count:Lindsey put over Jey's Journal.. Julian put over 2K18 playable at last.Danielle put over Naomi being a total pro.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Julian BurrellProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

It’s time for another big wrestling weekend! We give a full preview to Saturday’s “Worlds Collide” and Sunday’s “Money in the Bank” shows from WWE. But as we pick winners and what we expect to see… we can’t help but wonder if WWE has overplayed its hand and delivered TOO many shows. Main Event: R-Truth is no longer in WWER-Truth is no longer a WWE superstar. He's one of the most beloved members of the roster by both fans and his peers and was just part of a big match against John Cena. But it looks like this is the end for now as the company chose not to renew his contract. Maybe he was getting undersold on the money? We don’t really know for sure yet. The Three Count:Lindsey put over Stephen Fry x WWE. Hal put over AC/DCenaHosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Julian BurrellProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Saturday Night’s Main Event was the start of an incredibly busy wrestling Summer. There wasn’t much in terms of titles exchanging hands, but we did see the return of Bronson Reed for Seth Rollins’ unnamed stable.Plus Cody Rhodes is back! And he set up a Money in the Bank match with him and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul.Rerun: The Rock’s Entrance MusicIn 2017, we broke down all of The Rock’s entrance music over the course of his career so far; everything from Rocky Maiavia to his final time as WWE champion. We replay this segment and also add in our thoughts on the new Final Boss music.The Three Count:Julian put over Nattie’s birthday party.Danielle put over Bardcore wrestling.Lindsey put over Rhea in Stephanie’s places. Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Julian BurrellProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Our beloved Open Mike Eagle rejoins the Tights and Fights family!Of course Mike’s still busy watching a lot of wrestling. And because of that, he’s noticed a number of shortcomings in WWE, specifically in the main event scene. He’ll explain.Plus, he’ll tell us more about what he thinks is missing from the John Cena heel turn and why he’s so optimistic about Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman’s connection. The Main Event: Theme SongsIt seems like people are more dissatisfied with wrestling entrance music than they have been in years. We’ll explore why that is and listen to some of our favorite tracks of all time.The Three Count:Mike put over the art of selling.Danielle put over the Joe Hendry bit.Lindsey put over CM Punk getting sung to the ring. Hal put over Hamilton x Wrestling!Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Open Mike Eagle, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Backlash is often regarded as the come-down show for WWE. There’s plenty to criticize; why is Gunther taking on Pat McAfee on his road back to the World Heavyweight Championship picture? And why is WWE intent on protecting Pat McAfee as an in-ring performer?Let’s not let that completely distract from the fun moments: Danielle gets to squee about Jeff Cobb fka Monster Matanza in her dearly departed Lucha Underground. And despite us being a little pessimistic going into it, John Cena vs. Randy Orton delivered a solid enough match for Randy’s hometown crowd to get behind. Plus, raise a glass to the RAW women’s division!The Three Count:Danielle put over RIP Sabu and his FUs .Julian put over Michin's suspect challenge. Hal put over a celebration of love.Hosted by Julian Burrell, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts. 

Backlash weekend is upon us!Five matches doesn’t inherently make for a light card, but there it is a problem when one of those matches features Pat McAfee. Between that, the women’s tag title scene and maybe a few other things, there’s reason for pessimism in WWE.But there’s also a lot to enjoy– just take a look at Chelsea Green who hasn’t let her title loss diminish her character in any way. Hopefully that continues!The Main Event: Seth Rollins as a Paul Heyman guy.Seth Rollins is one of the longest tenured stars in WWE. And after years of playing second fiddle to the likes of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, he's got Bronn Breakker and Paul Heyman at his back to make him into the top guy.The Three Count:Danielle put over Dom-Dom hyping up the children.Julian put over Seth Rollins at the Met Gala. Hal put over Becky having jokes.Hosted by Julian Burrell, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.
