Ep. 186: Wrestling From Home

Hal and Lindsey discuss AEW’s Revolution PPV. The match that undoubtedly stole the show was Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page defending the titles vs. The Young Bucks. It exemplified the strong story-telling that Kenny and his cohorts are capable of. We’ll discuss why we love the match so much and why we can’t wait for what’s next. Plus, we’ve got a new AEW World Champion! Jon Moxley has reached the mountain top after beating Chris Jericho. And while we’re excited about him as champion, we’ll also discuss why the match didn’t quite reach the heights set by the rest of the PPV. But all is not entirely great in the land of the elite. Lindsey will explain why she’s become disheartened by the AEW women’s division, especially compared to its Wednesday night counterpart on NXT. The Main Event He was a star for more than ten years. He understood heel psychology better than almost anyone of his time and eventually became one of the biggest stars of the WWE. Between tag teams, 5 second poses, championships, a live sex celebration (Yeah, that really happened) there’s never been a star like the Rated R Superstar, Edge. And now that he’s back, we’re going to discuss our favorite moments from his career. The Three Count Lindsey put over the upcoming <a href= "https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/03/05/bailey-elizabeth-warrens-dog-goes-viral-after-stealing-burrito/4968231002/"> Elizabeth Warren's dog Bailey.</a>.

Ep. 185: Rap slack and Edge’s career

Danielle’s once again in the throes of some real-deal TV work and hasn’t had much time to watch wrestling. But, luckily we’ve got a Lindsey Kelk here to chat things up. That includes NXT, which is shaping up its road to WrestleMania and TakeOver nicely. Bianca Belair lost to Charlotte Flair. With a number one contendership ladder match coming up at TakeOver, will that be Bianca’s next opportunity to shine? Or is she destined to regularly edge close to glory without going all the way? Plus, it looks like WALTER and Imperium want the Finn Balor rub (don’t we all though?). Vague shades of fascism aside, it should be incredible. We’ll discuss it in full. And AEW has their first PPV of 2020 coming up this month. Between the Bucks vs. Page & Omega and Nyla Rose vs. Kris Statlander, there’s a lot to get excited about. But Lindsey thinks that there are a number of things that need to be improved if we want to continue whole-heartedly embracing the land of the Elite. All of that… and yeah, we’ll talk a little bit about Goldberg being the new Universal Champion. The Main Event Just as we expected, Nikki and Brie Bella are the latest inductees to the WWE Hall of Fame. And just as we expected, a whole bunch of people are big mad about it. We’ll explain why the Bellas are such transcendent stars worthy of such an honor as we recap some of the biggest moments from their careers.

Ep. 184: Thank your local Bella

Confession time: Danielle has had one helluva busy week with work beyond wrestling. But never fear, she still got to watch NXT TakeOver: Portland! Banger matches, character progression, story advancement… pretty standard fare for a TakeOver at this point, right? We’ll say where we see all of our favorites go from here as we prepare for the final stretch to WWE in Tampa. Unfortunately Danielle wasn’t able to see the rest of the wrestling from the week. Luckily Hal (and some interstitial comments to Julian) are going to help get her up to speed. We’ll get into everything from Cody’s bleeding habits, Nyla Rose’s underrated promo ability, the silliness of the Elimination Chamber and tons more.

Ep. 183: Nat King Cole Bay-Bay

The full group of wrassle friends is reunited! Hal, Danielle and Lindsey have tons of good wrestling to discuss after so long apart. Including Shayna Baszler taking a big bite out of Becky Lynch, AEW’s battle of the One-eyed Willies and new AEW women’s champion, Nyla Rose. But all that aside... we’ve also got to talk about the XFL! Which is apparently… good now? And are we witnessing the finale of Matt Hardy’s WWE career? We’ll salute the formerly woken warrior and explain why him taking up for Edge is actually hilarious in the context of his career. All of that.. Plus we’ll explain why the Bellas are more than worthy of a Hall of Fame nomination, despite the worst corners of wrestling twitter’s opinions.

Ep. 182: TakeOver: Pirates’ Booty.

Pod Dad Hal Lublin is finally back! And in the absence of Danielle and Lindsey, he’s hanging out with producer Julian Burrell to discuss his retrospective thoughts on all the wrestling he’s missed. That starts with the Royal Rumble and the two winners of the titular matches. Lindsey and Danielle really and enjoyed the Rumble, a sentiment Hal and Julian share… if a little less enthusiastically. But where they completely differ is their assessment of the men’s Rumble. They’ll explain why they thought the use of Brock Lesnar worked for them so well. Plus, Cody Rhodes delivered what Hal considered the most affecting wrestling moment Hal has ever seen on television. And Julian is excited to see the collision of the Queen, the NXT Champion and the EST of NXT. And we’re also proud to introduce you to the Wrestling Cinematic Universe and all of the possibilities that it holds for our heroes (hint: a lot of dentists).

Ep. 181: The Wrestling Cinematic Universe

It’s the first WWE Big 4 Weekend of the year! First Lindsey and Danielle break down NXT TakeOver: Worlds Collide. There were plenty of great matches, but the event did highlight a problem WWE has with the presentation of  foreign wrestlers. For instance: Do we really need the faux fascist imagery of Imperium to sell their dominance? Then it’s time for a deep dive into the Royal Rumble. For the third year, it was highlighted by a men’s and women’s iteration of the event, each won by Charlotte Flair and Drew McIntyre, respectively. What were some of the best moments? What did the team think about the direction of these two very different showcases? Plus, a look at the amazing and momentous returns from the show, who’s really improved on the mic on AEW and why Finn still showcases his finer points EVERY week on NXT The Three Count Lindsey put over <a href= "https://twitter.com/RefAubrey/status/1222549769882685446?s=20"> Ref Aubrey's tweets about her mental health.</a> Julian put over <a href= "https://twitter.com/TightsFights/status/1221873475666628608?s=20"> his favorite promo from Edge.</a> Danielle put over the <a href= "https://people.com/parents/nikki-bella-brie-bella-pregnant-due-2-weeks-apart-exclusive-photos/"> Nikki and Brie Bella's pregancy announcement.</a> Hosted by <a href= "https://twitter.com/DanielleRadford">Danielle Radford</a> and <a href= "https://twitter.com/LindseyKelk">Lindsey Kelk</a>.

Ep. 180: NXT TakeOver Worlds Collide & Royal Rumble

Danielle and Lindsey are ready to breakdown the final shows before WWE’s Royal Rumble show! No matter how we’re feeling about the current WWE product, the Rumble always seems to draw back the audience at large. Why? Because it’s the formal start of WrestleMania season and consequential stories in WWE! But there are also stories in AEW to take note of. But things seem to be going awry in the house that Tony Khan built, at least from the storytelling perspective. We’ll explain why we’re feeling unsure about Dynamite’s direction, while still voicing our optimism that their eventual move to two nights a week could be great for them. Finally, we’ll talk about NXT. It continues to be a great and successful show week in and week out. Between the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and Keith Lee as the new North American Champion, there’s a lot to love. And that includes Finn Balor’s....appearance in his match this week. We’ll explain. The Three Count Lindsey put over <a href= "https://twitter.com/WWEonFOX/status/1220118948512960513?s=20"> Becky Lynch on WWE Backstage.</a> Julian put over <a href= "https://twitter.com/JerichoIsAEW/status/1220519700490326017?s=20"> these pictures from Keith Lee across the years in WWE.</a> Danielle put over the <a href= "https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1219334400674091009?s=20"> Big E's dream match from the Feel The Power podcast.</a> Hosted by <a href= "https://twitter.com/DanielleRadford">Danielle Radford</a> and <a href= "https://twitter.com/LindseyKelk">Lindsey Kelk</a>.

This week, Danielle and Lindsey are joined by <a href= "https://twitter.com/Dnellicious">Darnell Mitchell</a>. He’s one of the heads behind the Brooklyn-based wrestling promotion <a href= "https://twitter.com/uncanny_attract">Uncanny Attraction</a>. Like any respectable wrestling organization, Uncanny Attraction will be in Tampa Bay on WrestleMania week (April 2nd at 11PM). He’s also ready to announce the show’s main event: Effy vs. AEW’s Sunny Kiss! Tickets are going to be available soon! Darnell will tell us all about what it was like to go from a fan to a professional in the industry, which independent wrestlers and promotions he’s most excited to see and why so many wrestlers need to step up their suit game. The Main Event Tessa Blanchard was known across the international wrestling scene as someone whose star was only going to burn brighter. She’s been a champion in multiple organizations, including the current World Champion of Impact. But in the midst of her greatest accomplishment, word has come out from multiple wrestlers that Tessa has a history of being a bully and a racist. It’s a lot to take in, but we share our reactions.  The Three Count Darnell put over <a href= "https://twitter.com/laurenmoran">artist Lauren Moran</a> and the <a href= "https://twitter.com/THEonlyMVYoung/status/1215028901656875008?s=20"> MV Young No Ring Death Match Extravaganza</a>  Lindsey put over <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmEehfDTWg4">this week’s episode of NXT, especially the debut of Mercedes Martinez.</a> Danielle put over the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmEehfDTWg4">latest episode of Being the Elite with Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy</a>.

Ep. 178: Wrestling should be FUN w/ Darnell Mitchell

Buy the new Tights and Fights shirt at <a href= "http://maxfunstore.com/">maxfunstore.com</a>! This week, Hal and Lindsey are joined by James Durbin. He’s a known singer, actor and American Idol participant who’s also a HUGE wrestling fan. But a major blindspot in his fandom has been New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 14.  For the first time ever, this event was split into two days of extremely long cards. There thankfully was no noticeable drop in match quality across both shows, but it cannot be understated: This is a LOT of wrestling and watching it all will take at least a little bit of patience. In that spirit, we take a look at some of the major matches, including the champ-champ efforts of Tetsuya Naito, the heelish tactics of Jay White and KENTA and discuss whether or not Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho’s appearances mean we should expect more collaborations between NJPW and AEW. The Three Count James put over <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-day-feel-the-power-is-coming/id1488342885?i=1000457127056"> The New Day Podcast Feel the Power</a>. Lindsey put over <a href= "https://dailyddt.com/2020/01/06/njpw-liger-retirement-ceremony/"> Jushin “Thunder” Liger’s retirement ceremony</a>. Julian put over the <a href= "https://twitter.com/emilyofpratt/status/1214065317023862784"> press conference with Jushin and Tiger Mask</a>.

Ep. 177: Wrestling Kingdom 14 w/ James Durbin

Don’t let that final segment on RAW fool you; there was actually a lot of really great wrestling to end 2019 and kick off 2020! Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black continue to impress in their second outing, Andrade and Zelina are back on track with the United States Championship in tow AND MJF cut another fantastic promo. But it’s not all good news: AEW’s production has continued to slip in the past few months. We’ll examine why the company’s picture-in-picture strategy isn’t working for us. Plus: after the women’s championship fatal fourway, one thing has become very clear: the company has ONE woman with a clearly defined character and it’s not the champion Riho.  All of this… plus we’ll somehow find a way to mix in conversations about Cats throughout the show. Misandry Corner The Bobby/Lana/Rusev story has been maligned by the audience for a while now. But this week it somehow took a turn for the worse with Liv Morgan getting involved as Lana’s former lover. How bad is this story for everyone involved? Is anything being salvaged? And most importantly: Who would play these roles if we recast them all as men? Hosted by <a href= "https://twitter.com/HalLublin">Hal Lublin</a>, <a href= "https://twitter.com/danielleradford">Danielle Radford</a> and <a href= "https://twitter.com/LindseyKelk">Lindsey Kelk</a>.

Ep. 175: The Rusev Day Special

We’ve made it through one of the last times that significant wrestling events will happen in this decade! After a hard-fought main-event contest against Shayna Baszler, Rhea Ripley is now the first new NXT women’s champion in almost a year and a half. We’ll geek out about her major accomplishment in a somewhat inappropriate way. While that was the biggest event on Wednesday, there were tons of things worth tuning in for across both AEW and NXT. Jericho had an entertaining match with Jungle Boy; Adam Cole retained his NXT title over Finn Balor with some help from a returning Johnny Gargano; and Kris Statlander is now the number one contender for Riho’s Women’s World Championship. We’ll talk about all of that and look at WWE’s TLC show to heap more praise… and just a little bit of criticism. The Three Count Hal and Danielle both put over <a href= "https://twitter.com/BulletClubIta/status/1207828763704283136"> AEW’s new holiday commercial</a>. Hosted by <a href= "https://twitter.com/HalLublin">Hal Lublin</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/danielleradford">Danielle Radford</a>.

Ep. 174: Slide off your chairs

Grab that spare knee brace, and prepare to have your body parts yeeted! RAW women’s champion Becky Lynch and AEW’s women’s champion Riho may be in very different places in their career but they both have one thing in common: They haven’t been on TV that often. But we’ve got very different reactions to their scarce appearances that we’ll explain. Plus: NXT and AEW had their usual assortment of quality matches and story progression, including the reveal of new number one contenders. From Dynamite, we’ll explain why we’re ready for The Young Bucks to finally get their AEW Tag team championships. And on NXT, we’ll talk about Finn’s quest to make the future his past as the next NXT Champion… including a little inappropriate discussion of Keith Lee. All of that plus some of the week’s best promos, the most awkward shoot marriage proposal in history and a reflection of the selfishness of Christmas playtime.

Ep. 173: Slap that hippo

Keep your ears front, this podcast will never be enter picture-in-picture mode! It’s been a full week of wrestling and Hal, Danielle and Lindsey are ready to break it down. Seth Rollins is getting a lot of attention for his new character direction in his feud with Kevin Owens. And on the surface, it’s really smart of WWE to play into the crowd sentiment towards Rollins and turn him as an overeager leader of RAW. But we’ll talk about whether or not this is actually solving the problem with Seth from the past year. And what a week it’s been for promos! We give praise to Jungle Boy, Cody Rhodes, Finn Balor, Keith Lee and Chris Jericho for their work on the mic this week. We’ll geek out over their creative fulfillment and speculate about where they could go from here. Plus, some discussion about the AEW production direction, what the future holds for the Undisputed Era and finally settle which wrestlers actually have too many cats. Hosted by <a href= "https://twitter.com/HalLublin">Hal Lublin</a>, <a href= "https://twitter.com/danielleradford">Danielle Radford</a> and <a href= "https://twitter.com/LindseyKelk">Lindsey Kelk</a>.
