Lindsey Kelk returns from her brief COVID hiatus to join us on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

We talked a lot about Bryan Danielson last week, but what’s one more conversation? Does Lindsey believe that he’s on his way out to build houses for the needy or will he always have one foot in the business despite himself?

And when there’s a workers’ strike on the way, the wrestlers will play! The Rock and John Cena have decided to make time for the WWE now that their schedules have cleared up. How much can we expect from them? And do we still hope all the great wrestlers we have now won’t take a back seat to Dwayne on the road to Mania (No it’s never to early to think about it!)

The Main Event: Jade Cargill

By the standards of its women's division, AEW invested a lot in Jade Cargill. She went on a lengthy undefeated streak and was their inaugural TBS champion. But it also felt like they put a ceiling on what she was allowed to achieve. Now word is that she's left the company and will make her way to the WWE Performance Center. 

The Three Count:

Lindsey put over About Face Eye shadowsticks.

Danielle put over Katy Perry and the spinner Belt. 

Hal put over Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows.

Danielle Radford and Hal Lublin are back after the Los Angeles Hurriquake to discuss a ton of wrestling!

Have we seen the last of Edge? If so, does that mean the end of his career… or just the end of his time in WWE? No one seems to know– including Edge himself!

Plus, Chad Gable just might be the one to take the Intercontinental Title off of Gunther– just in time for Gunther to move onto some World Championship aspirations.

And speaking of the World Heavyweight title, it’s time for us to discuss how enthused we are about the job Seth is doing as champion and how we think this feud against Shinsuke Nakamura is gonna do.

The Main Event:  DIY

For years, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa were the central wrestlers for NXT, first as a tag team, then as bitter enemies. It was a story that took a lot of twists and turns, including real life problems that disrupted it along the way.

The Three Count:

Danielle: put over Dom and Rhea horseplay. (again)

Hal put over Billy Corgan showing LA Knight love.

Julian put over Johnny Gargano’s fashion choices at TakeOver.

And so much more!

This week was the 30th anniversary of Monday Night RAW. There was a refreshing focus on getting the younger talent of WWE over by association with the old guard. But there were still a lot of lows for every high.

Hulk Hogan? A cut down women’s cage match? A really long DX segment? We’ll discuss whether a great Bloodline segment can make up for all that.

The Main Event: Royal Rumble 2000

As we await the latest Royal Rumble, we're going to go way back to the year 2000 and talk about that year's version of the Rumble.This was where the Attitude Era began to gain steam. And it's generally agreed to be one of the WWE's best PPVs ever.

The Three Count:

Danielle put over the Bellas throwing shade at WWE.

Lindsey put over Nikki Bella’s upcoming walk down the aisle.

Hal put over Sami Zayn speaking the truth.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

God bless us everyone! It’s time to recast the Charles Dicken classic “A Christmas Carol” with professional wrestlers!

We’ve got tons of options for our Ebenezer Scrooge, Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and more.

Will Colt Cabana scowl his way into our hearts? Where does William Regal fit in for a production he seems born to contribute to? It’s going to be a joy to discover!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the world!

RJ City has made a name for himself as a truly unique show across the independent wrestling scene. In the past year though, he’s gone more mainstream than ever.

He was scene regularly on WWE’s YouTube channel and now he’s got a new talk show on AEW called “Hey(EW).” According to him, his new show isn’t all that different from what he used to be known for… just with a massive budget. 

He’ll tell us all about his latest project, his new wrestling persona and what the difference is between making web content for WWE vs. AEW.

The Main Event

We just got done with WrestleMania which had a surprising amount of celebrities in major matches on the card. This continues a proud tradition in wrestling of bringing famous people on to have a good time and hopefully bring new eyes on the shows.

The Three Count

RJ put over FTR somehow getting over as faces.

Danielle put over MJF on the Acafellas.

Lindsey put over Danhausen cursing William Regal.

Hal put over one of his best friends.

It’s our annual retrospective on Night 1 and Night 2 of Ice Cream Christmas (or WrestleMania for the uninitiated) a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

There were a lot of really good title matches, but none greater than Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair. While we definitely should have had more women’s matches, we can point to this one as an early contender for Match of the year. 

Plus: talk about a great showcase for why celebrities belong in wrestling! The Jackass team, Pat McAfee and (ugh) Logan Paul all brought the goods. We’ll explain why the involvement of celebrities will always be a net good at a wrestling show.

There’s tons of matches to get to so let’s not waste another moment!

The Three Count

Danielle put over Samoa Joe doing the shmoney dance

Lindsey put over Little Rip Rip.

Hal put over Paul Heyman encouraging the Tribal Chief.

Dan Sinker joined us just weeks after AEW Revolution in 2020, so it only makes sense that he joins us for this years’ edition of the event after it’s been a whole pandemic!

We’re going to talk all about our favorite matches including Jade Cargill and Jurassic Express’ big wins and why we need to take a break from all the blood.

Plus, new champions across just about every show on TV!

The Main Event:

CM Punk has been back in wrestling for just over six months now. Dan Sinker will tell us about how he chronicled Punk’s life and career that led him to his AEW debut foir Esquire Magazine.

The Three Count

It’s officially the end of 2021. And as we hope and pray that this dumpster fire gets a little less chaotic, we’re going to look back on the year of wrestling. 

And perhaps most importantly, we’re handing out our first ever Tights and Fights Superlatives–or as we call them “Superplexatives!”

Who’s the best wrestling family member? Who made us unexpectedly love us best? Which AEW/WWE interaction best exemplified peace on earth? We’ll break it all down and raise a cup of cheer.

After months of tracking Tessa Coates’ pilot Primates, we were so happy to finally get it on the pod last week. If you haven’t listen to it yet, get on it! Andrew caught up with Tessa in this week’s episode to discuss the rollercoaster ride her pilot went on in the development process. She talked about her experience of learning how to write a pilot on the spot. What it was like to work with Greg Daniels (The Office, King of The Hill) and a helpful tip on how to make your characters come alive. Enjoy this one and thanks for listening!

This month we bring you a pilot that was consumed in the fires of Quibi's epic flame-out! The pilot is Primates by Tessa Coates. Tessa is a British writer, performer, journalist, and comedian. Primates is based on her debut solo show which sold out its entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and ran at the Soho Theatre to even more sell-out audiences. After Soho, Tessa performed her show around Los Angeles, and then sold it in a competitive situation to ABC Studios with Greg Daniels (The Office, King of the Hill) attached to executive produce. After a round of development at ABC, the project moved to Quibi, and, well, you know how that ended. Primates centers around Tessa, a hapless primatologist who tries to navigate love, life, and friendship, one biology lesson at a time. 

Primates stars Tessa Coates as Tessa, Maria Bamford as The Professor, Lolly Adefope as Kat, Joel Kim Booster as Anthony, Nick Mohammed as Dean Gaffney, Jon Rudnitsky as Jamie, Moujan Zolfaghari as Very First Bug/Embarrassed Female/Sandrine/Other Uber Pool Passenger/Juliette, Hal Lublin as Chimpanzee/Wright Brothers/Steve Ballmer/John The Uber Driver/Director/Freud/ Mark Gagliardi as Schrodinger/Uber Passenger/Buzz Aldrin/Wright Brothers/Cave Man and Andrew Reich with stage directions. Enjoy it!
