    Ep. 90: Backlash and Suddenly Dinosaurs

    Ep. 90: Backlash and Suddenly Dinosaurs

    It seems like everyone’s got opinions on Sunday’s WWE show Backlash.

    Audiences in attendance walked out on the main event of Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns. But was the match really all that bad? Or has WWE just put Roman in such a poor position after WrestleMania that this level of disconnect between the product and the fans is understandable?

    Contributing to the disappointment in the show was that the WWE championship match between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles did not close out the evening. Is this feud still working after two matches ending in non-finishes? And who should come away with the WWE title at this point?

    Plus, we look at the upcoming fourth installment in the much-loved Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada series. After a respective record 1-1-1, is it time for Kenny to finally get that IWGP title? And with Chris Jericho officially setting his sights on New Japan’s Intercontinental Title, there’s a lot to keep an eye on in the land of the rising sun.

    All of this and a look at the latest in NXT, 205 Live and the… unusual entrance of Mandy Rose.

    The Three Count

    Lindsey put over the latest edition of Up Up Down Down featuring Ruby Riot.

    Mike put over the new podcast 83 Weeks.

    Hal put over Elias at Backlash.

    Hosted by Hal Lublin, Mike Eagle, and Lindsey Kelk.

    Ep. 89: Strong Style Me, Daddy

    Ep. 89: Strong Style Me, Daddy

    As always Hal, Danielle and Lindsey breakdown the latest in the world of wrestling. And this week that includes Greatest Royal Rumble live from Saudi Arabia. 

    Everyone on the panel has seen at least a little of the event, but was the show and the payday worth preventing the entire women’s roster from performing at the show?

    Greatest Royal Rumble was also the precursor to this Sunday’s BackLash event. With Roman Reigns losing once again, how much have they damaged his presentation and the perception of the Universal Title?

    And with Shinsuke Nakamura set for what could be his final match for the WWE title against AJ Styles, does he need to win that strap to cement his positioning as the top heel on Smackdown?

    All this plus a look at which feuds could go on forever, why WWE needs women’s tag team titles and who the uncrowned king of 205 Live is.

    Three Count

    Danielle put over Mauro Renallo's upcoming documentary "Bipolar Rock N' Roller".

    Lindsey put over Shinsuke Nakamura's WWE documentary.

    Hal put over Corey Graves's reaction to Titus Slipping on the way to the ring.

    Hosted by Hal LublinDanielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

    Ep. 88: A Royal Rumble Without any Queens

    Ep. 88: A Royal Rumble Without any Queens

    With Daryl Takahashi looking on with love, Danielle and Lindsey take control of the show!

    The two will break down the problems that have arisen with the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia; it’s WWE’s second major live event to air this month on the Network… but it will not feature a single women’s match. How much is that undercutting WWE’s supposed “women’s evolution?” And is the company doing everything they could be to make sure women are being properly used on their programming to make up for this absence?

    The Saudi Arabian show will be host to other matches, including Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. But what is it about this match that’s not clicking, compared to the build for their WrestleMania match? 

    Plus, why Shinsuke Nakamura’s new music is so amazing, who we wish was getting a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship and why it may be time to give Impact Wrestling another shot after so long.

    The Three Count

    Lindsey put over Candice LeRae and Zelina Vega's match on NXT.

    Julian put over Austin Aries's promo after winning back the Impact World Championship.

    Danielle put over The Nuclear Heat wrestling show on May 9th in Los Angeles.

    Hosted by Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

    Ep. 87: Shook Superstars

    Ep. 87: Shook Superstars

    Mike and Lindsey have survived their trip to New Orleans and WrestleMania and are here to regale Danielle Radford with stories of Ice Cream Christmas!

    They’ll talk all about why they learned about the wonderful parts of wrestling… And some of the worst parts of the fandom.

    But we can’t dwell on the past for too long, because there’s a ton of new things to deal with as well, especially the Superstar shake-up! RAW and Smackdown are both full of new stars. But which are set up for success and which are we most concerned about?

    All of that plus, a requiem for the relationship between John Cena and Nikki Bella, the life and career of Burno Sammartino and a look at what WWE programming is like a mini-ice cream Christmas every week.

    Bonus Ep. 9: w/ comic writer Box Brown and filmmaker Chris Bournea

    Bonus Ep. 9: w/ comic writer Box Brown and filmmaker Chris Bournea

    Welcome to our big finale of the Max Fun Drive

    In that spirit, here’s producer Julian Burrell interviewing two people from the world of wrestling.

    First, in honor of the HBO’s "Andre the Giant" documentary, comic writer and artist Box Brown joins the show to discuss his time writing his own biography of the 8th Wonder of the World entitled Andre the Giant: Life and Legend. Brown discusses what made Andre so special and why it was important to show Andre in the book with all of his flaws intact.

    Next, Chris Bournea joins the program to discuss his new film “Lady Wrestler: The Amazing, Untold Story of African-American Women in the Ring.” In it, he covers the lesser discussed black women of the 50’s and 60’s. He’ll talk about some of the biggest women wrestlers of this time and how he sought them out to uncover one of wrestling’s best-kept secrets.

    Ep. 86: The NXT TakeOver: New Orleans and WrestleMania 34 special

    Ep. 86: The NXT TakeOver: New Orleans and WrestleMania 34 special

    We’ve survived the biggest weekend of wrestling of the year!

    Hal and Danielle are joined by Producer Julian Burrell to break down the biggest Ice Cream Christmas of all time. 

    The team will have a deep dive into a few of the biggest events from Lucha vs. Impact and Supercard of Honor in addition to what they consider the show of the weekend NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.

    Saturday’s NXT event featured amazing matches from beginning to end, including what may go down to be one of the greatest wrestling matches in WWE history. We’ll try not to get too excited.

    And the biggest show of the weekend was none other than WrestleMania. And while the team agrees that it was on the positive side of shows, there are a few issues that they had with it. That includes that the wrong match closed out the show and why Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar did nothing for either competitor or the live audience.

    Plus, a look at the stars who got called up from NXT to the main roster, where NXT could be heading in the future and where this Mania ranks in the all-time history of the event.

    Hosted by Hal LublinDanielle Radford and Julian Burrell. 

    Produced by Jesus Ambrosio for Maximum Fun.

    Ep. 84: Gronk-a-donk-a-doo, a Merry Ice Cream Christmas to you

    FINALLY… Mike Eagle as come BACK to Tights and Fights!

    Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford will catch up Mike up with everything he hasn’t gotten to express an opinion on from the two months he’s been gone, in addition to what’s happened this week.

    That includes Daniel Bryan’s return to wrestling, Asuka moving to Smackdown to face Charlotte for the women’s title, Bayley and Sasha Banks’s rivalry reaching a fever pitch, The Ultimate Deletion, John Cena challenging the Undertaker and much more.

    Plus, how we’re hoping WWE handles Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles, the minor problem with Brock Lesnar constantly beating up Roman Reigns and what special holiday we learned WrestleMania falls on (besides Rusev Day).

    Ep. 82: Keep Moolah out of WrestleMania Forever

    Ep. 82: Keep Moolah out of WrestleMania Forever

    Katie Willert is the newest member of the nation of conversation!

    She joins Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford to discuss the latest on the road to Wrestlemania. Everything from John Cena challenging the Undertaker, Roman Reigns being “temporarily suspended” and Asuka calling out Charlotte Flair for a match for the women’s title.

    Plus, why does Danielle take MAJOR issue with the storyline between Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax? And who do we think Sami and Kevin should face in their feud with Shane? 

    Main Event:

    NOTE: THIS WAS RECORDED BEFORE WWE DECIDED TO RENAME THE FABULOUS MOOLAH MEMORIAL BATTLE ROYAL.

    WWE decided to have a catch-all women’s rumble at WrestleMania. It sounds like it could be fun, but they also decided to have The Fabulous Moolah as the namesake for the event. We’ll fill you in on why Moolah is such an awful figure from wrestling’s past who’s not worth immortalizing.

    Ep. 81: Fast Lane and the broken music of Matt Hardy

    Ep. 81: Fast Lane and the broken music of Matt Hardy

    Jay Washington is officially back in the Nation of Conversation!

    RAW has us asking all sorts of questions including who’s going to face women’s champion Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania. At first glance, it looks like Asuka. But Jay thinks the seeds are being planted for the Empress of Tomorrow to face Charlotte, leaving Nia Jax to take on Alexa.

    And after Roman Reigns fired the first salvo in against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman was quick to shoot back… but is this feud clicking on all levels like it should be? And if we do, in fact get Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles, which of those matches closes out Mania?

    Plus, what we think of John Cena being involved in the Fast Lane main event, why the Mixed Match Challenge is still so much fun, and why Hal may finally be close to giving up on Smackdown.

    Ring Tones:

    He’s been Xtreme, he’s been V.1, he’s been broken and awoken… We’re taking a special musical journey through the career of Matt Hardy. Is his music getting us in the right mood for the latest phase of his career? We’ll take deep dive.

    Ep. 80: The Elimination Chamber of Secrets

    Ep. 80: The Elimination Chamber of Secrets

    When the chips are down, Tights and Fights has decided to tag in producer Julian Burrell to fill in the host seat!

    He sits with Hal Lublin and the returning Des Delgadillo to discuss Elimination Chamber and the solidifying card for WrestleMania.

    We now know that Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title and the Alexa Bliss will be the women’s champion going into the biggest WWE show of the year. But how excited are we for these match-ups? And what will RAW look like once they’ve played out in April?

    Plus, Des was actually at Smackdown in the Staples Center this past Tuesday. Even though Smackdown has been an inferior product overall than RAW this year, was it any better live? 

    But, of course, we all know that one of WWE’s best products these is none other than 205 Live. Des and Julian will discuss what’s made the show so much fun to watch after it was reinvigorated last month.

    Main Event

    Commentary is one of the most important elements to a televised wrestling show; The wrestlers provide the music and the commentators provide the lyrics. But what makes for a great commentator? And which commentators are doing their best work these days? We’ll do a deep dive to find out.

    The Three Count

    Julian put over Andrew David Cox's musical tribute to Braun Strowman

    Des put over the loving environment of the Smackdown Live Crowd.

    Hal put over Alexa Bliss' post-Elimination Chamber promo.

    Ep. 79: How can we enjoy Ronda Rousey wrestling?

    Ep. 79: How can we enjoy Ronda Rousey wrestling?

    Woooooo! We're back! And just in time for Elimination Chamber and one of the best RAW's this year!

    Seth Rollins put on an absolute CLINIC on Monday night. Even though he came up short in the match, he still endeared himself to the audience. But how confident are we that WWE is going to properly follow up on this?

    And with Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin in the mix for Smackdown's WWE Title, are we at all enthused... or does this just fill like padding until we get to the proper matches at Wrestlemania?

    Plus, we'll talk about Buddy Murphy's debut on 205 Live, how much fun the Mixed Match Challenge is, and why we're still waiting to get excited for Sasha Banks vs. Bayley.

    Main Event:

    With Ronda Rousey set to sign her WWE contract this Sunday, how much are we expecting from her? Should she be used in a similar way to how other UFC fighters have been showcased in WWE? And could her success mean more success for the rest of the women's division?

    Bonus Ep. 7: The Greatest Hits feat. Box Brown and Hannibal Buress

    Welcome to the very first greatest hits collection of Tights and Fights! 

    Producer Julian Burrell has collected three of the best segments from the show’s archives for your enjoyment.

    Misandry Corner

    Danielle Radford leads the team to discuss some of the sexist history of wrestling’s past. In this inaugural edition of the segment, the spotlight is on WWE’s most sordid Diva’s moments: a water balloon wet T-Shirt contest. How terrible was this? And which men would we like to see recast in it?

    My Special Wrestler

    Comic creator Box Brown joins the program to discuss one of the greatest heels of all time: Ravishing Rick Rude. 

    Ring Tones

    Comedian Hannibal Buress joins the program to discuss the music of Triple H. This will include every phase of his career from his time as Hunter Hearst Helmsley to his joining DX to becoming the cerebral assassin to his modern-day role as the WWE’s chief executive of talent relations.

    Ep. 78: Preserve fwendship for WrestleMania and beyond

    Ep. 78: Preserve fwendship for WrestleMania and beyond

    Welcome everyone to our official post-Royal Rumble decompression. Most of WWE is in a bit of a holding pattern as the final WrestleMania picture takes shape. 

    But there are still tons of things happening throughout both shows. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are seemingly headed for a break-up which we are very much NOT in favor. We’ll explain how we’d like to see their partnership developed alongside the WWE Title scene with AJ Styles.

    Plus, Jason Jordan is dealing with a neck injury that’s going to have him out of the ring for a number of months. But where does this leave his character and Seth Rollins before he’s able to head back to the ring?

    And we’ll take a closer look at where everyone else is heading into the final weeks before the biggest show in wrestling, including Asuka, Nia Jax and everyone on the Smackdown Top 10 (Whatever that ends up being like!).

    Gimmick Corner

    For the past 15 years or so, WWE television has had one man at the forefront: John Cena. He’s been the franchise player for WWE up until a few years ago. So it’s hard to believe that he started out as a generic babyface with ruthless aggression and eventually became the doctor of thuganomics with some impressive (?) rap skills. We’ll take a look at what makes him tick and whether or not he’s lost a step as he ascended the card.

    Three Count 

    Danielle put over some of Twitter's best wrestling artists

    Julian put over John Cena's best joke ever

    Hal put over the Philly Special

    Ep. 76: The De-reviving the Revival at RAW 25

    Ep. 76: The De-reviving the Revival at RAW 25

    It was an incredibly eventful week for WWE, but not entirely for the reasons that the company wanted it to be.

    Enzo Amore has been fired following the revelations that he has been accused and is under investigation for rape and kept the situation from his employers. In this era of #MeToo, this sort of thing can’t stand in wrestling. But how scared are we that this could be just the start of WWE stars, past and present, being called out for similar heinous actions? 

    And in much lighter news, WWE celebrated the 25th anniversary of RAW! Unfortunately, people watching it from the Manhattan Center, it wasn’t nearly as entertaining. But between all of the legends and Miz winning back the Intercontinental Title, which of the hosts had fun, and who hated it?

    Plus, Sami Zayn picked up a major win against AJ Styles in the main event of Smackdown. Is this the signature win he needed as a heel or is this undone by taking a big loss on Sunday?

    All that, and we continue to be excited about the Royal Rumble and feel like the Mixed Match Challenge is still providing a ton of things to love.

    Main Event

    Every time there’s a major anniversary or occasion in WWE, it’s a safe bet that we’re going to be treated to a wealth of nostalgia. And while a little bit of that is fun, when does it cross the line? And how big of a problem is it when a young team like the Revival is destroyed by a group of older wrestlers for the purposes of a nostalgia pop?

    The Three Count

    Danielle put over Becky Lynch and Sami Zayn in the Mixed Match Challenge.

    Mike put over Mike Parrow's interviews on his experience as a gay wrestler.

    Hal put over the post-match promo in the MMC from the Miz and Asuka

    Hosted by Hal LublinDanielle Radford and Mike Eagle.

    Ep. 75: You are tearing me apart, Strowman! Ft. Mega Ran

    Ep. 75: You are tearing me apart, Strowman! Ft. Mega Ran

    Noted wrestling fan, video-game aficionado and rapper Mega Ran officially joins the Nation of Conversation.

    And we’re going to continue to talk all about his experience with Wrestle Kingdom 12 since he saw it LIVE in the Tokyo Dome!

    Plus, we’ll take a look at how much fun it was to see Braun Strowman tear up the ($12 million) production trucks, why AJ Styles is delivering some of the worst promos of his career and why the Revival is set to take a hit from every single legend next week on RAW.

    And we’ll keep looking ahead to the Royal Rumble, including who would be a great winner for the first ever Woman’s edition of the event.

    Main Event

    Seth Rollins’s signature finishing move has at last returned! After a brief stint with the Pedigree and (ugh) King’s Landing, the Curb Stomp is back with a vengeance. What makes it such an effective finisher? And who could stand to get a new finisher in the next few weeks?

    The Three Count

    Mike put over Bruce Prichard's stories on the latest episode The Masked Man podcast.

    Mega Ran put over Rusev's encouragement to Lana for the MMC.

    Hal put over Kurt Angle's awful acting.

    Hosted by Hal LublinMike Eagle and Mega Ran.

    Ep. 73: Brock-oli Lesnar and the Women's Royal Rumble

    Ep. 73: Brock-oli Lesnar and the Women's Royal Rumble

    Welcome to the first episode of the year 2018!

    And unlike the rest of society, there’s a whole host of things we get to look forward to in the New Year*. We’re well on the road to WrestleMania, as evidenced by all the news about the Royal Rumble that’s been coming out in recent weeks.

    But we also don’t know what’s going on with a lot of RAW’s most prominent characters. What will Jason Jordan’s current story with Seth Rollins evolve into? Will Samoa Joe continue to pursue the Intercontinental title after losing to Roman Reigns? And will Brock Lesnar vs. Kane amount to anything exciting?

    Plus, on Smackdown, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have finally seen some renewed success in their new alliance. They’ve beaten WWE Champion AJ Styles in back to back weeks. But is it okay for AJ to be taking losses like that?

    *Yes, including Wrestle Kingdom. But we’ll get to that next week!

    Main Event

    Women in the Royal Rumble were always treated as a novelty. Only gals like Kharma, Beth Phoenix and Chyna were ever afforded the honor of joining in the male-dominated event. But now that we’ll have a full Women’s Royal Rumble, what can we expect? And how confident are we that they won’t ruin this?

    The Three Count

    Danielle put over Xavier Woods and Aiden English's Twitter battle.

    Mike put over this Sid Viscious's voicemail.

    Hal put over Drew Gulak covering for Enzo on RAW.

    Ep. 72: Royalty Rumbling in equality

    It’s our final full episode of the year, so let’s close it out in style!

    Looking ahead to next year, WWE has confirmed that the first ever women’s Royal Rumble is set for the January PPV. How hopeful are we that WWE has learned its lesson from the last few women’s “firsts” that they decided to institute?

    And at this weeks Clash of Champions event, AJ Styles retained his title over Jinder Mahal. Is this a sign that he’s going to be the top champion going into WrestleMania?

    Plus, how devastating Dean Ambrose’s injury is for WWE storylines, The third RAW debut of the Revival, Dolph Ziggler’s US Title win, and a lot more.

    Main Event

    It’s our annual best of wrestling list! What was the most exciting part of 2017? Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada? Braun Strowman? The Mae Young Classic? We’ll break down all of this and so much more.

    The Three Count:

    Mike put over The tag team of Aiden English and Rusev at Clash of Champions.

    Lindsey put over Kenny Omega attacking Chris Jericho at an NJPW press conference.

    Danielle put over Eva Marie advocating for wrestling against Mia Khalifa.

    Ep. 71: When Kevin Owens beat up Jay Washington

    Ep. 71: When Kevin Owens beat up Jay Washington

    Jay Washington joins the team for the week to make the Tights and Fights triple threat a fatal fourway!

    WWE’s rolling out a new Facebook exclusive show: The Mixed Match Challenge. It’ll run Tuesday nights with matches between mixed male and female tag teams. How likely are we to watch? We’ll tell you about it.

    And how great does Samoa Joe look? He’s probably the first guy who’s become a threat to the Shield entirely on his own. But what’s his path going forward? Could it possibly include beating Roman Reigns for the Intercontinental Title?

    And did Kevin Owens REALLY beat up Jay once?

    All that plus what we think of Cedric Alexander, Chris Jericho attacking Kenny Omega, why Mike love Sonya Deville and why Kane vs. Braun Strowman is already losing some of its shine.

    Main Event

    It’s our annual worst of wrestling list! What was the most disappointing part of 2017? Bray Wyatt’s title reign and booking? Roman Reigns and Undertaker’s match at WrestleMania? The Women’s Money in the Bank storyline? We’ll revisit the painful memory for you.

    Three (four) Count

    Danielle put over Nia Jax being adorable

    Mike put over the latest episode of Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard.
