Let us give thanks for a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

There’s so much to give thanks for after a busy 2024: Magalomaniacs were removed from WWE; stories were effectively told after unfortunate accidents; and tons of stars truly came into their own.

Danielle put over WWE x Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Julian put over the new home for wrestling conversation.

BONUS: The Gobbeldy Gooker Nov 16, 2024

Show notes

Step into the Gobbeldy-verse on a brand new bonus Tights and Fights!

The Gobbeldy Gooker was one of the worst things Vince McMahon ever conceived.

It was famed wrestler Hector Guerrero in a turkey costume that hatched from an egg at Survivor Series 1990 after months of build up.

It was maintained as a sort of inside joke for WWE fans for years. But now that we’re in the post-Vince era, it seems to be put to rest. Hopefully.

Rerun: Greatest hits with Hannibal Buress and Box Brown Nov 09, 2024

Show notes

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 Healmsley to his joining DX to becoming the cerebral assassin to his modern day role as the WWE’s chief executive of talent relations.

Hosted by Julian Burrell, Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Mike Eagle.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 421: Sumo in WWE ft. Alex Schmidt Nov 02, 2024

Show notes

Wrestling is overtly incredibly fascinating as we’ve always known on Tights and Fights!

Alex Schmidt is one of the hosts of the MaxFun podcasts “Secretly Incredibly Fascinating.” Recently they had a podcast breaking down the history of wrestling as an actual competition. So naturally we had to invite him on to teach him about the flip side: Cut the kayfabe!

Main Event

On "Secretly Incredibly Fascinating,” Alex and his co-host Katie Schmidt broke down the history of Sumo wrestling. And one thing about sumo is that Vince McMahon would happily find a way to represent the competition in some really great and really awful ways.

The Three Count

Lindsey and Danielle put over Mick Foley endorsing Kamala Harris.

Julian put over Living United for Change in Arizona.

Hosted by Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

RE-RUN: James A. Janisse + Samantha Irvin Oct 26, 2024

Show notes

We mourn Samantha Irvin’s departure from WWE on this episode of Tights and Fights!

She was set up to be an all-time great in the company. But now she’s off to pursue her dreams, to WWE’s detriment.
In another piece of news: The Intercontinental Title has seemingly been reduced to a prop in the Bloodline conflict. And the person who’s suffered is Bron Breakker. In good news, he’s now a two time IC champion. So hopefully this aligns itself despite everything

Main Event

The intersection of horror and wrestling is a long and storied one. James A. Janisse from the YouTube show “The Kill Count” discuss some of the biggest wrestlers that dipped into the macabre including The Boogeyman, Bray Wyatt, Papa Shango and more. Spin the wheel, make the deal!

The Three Count

Lindsey put over the Damian and Kayden.

Danielle put over The Studline fashion choices.

Hal put over Lin Manuel Miranda being a total mark.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

RE-RUN: Daniel Bryan Danielson ft. Janet Varney Oct 19, 2024

Show notes

Farewell, sweet American Dragon. We celebrate you on this episode of Tights and Fights!

After a brief detour into the Kelce bros. Cereal (Hey, Jason was at WrestleMania, this counts!) We salute the full-time retirement of Bryan Danielson.

Then, we revisit a bit of episode 365, where we were joined by Janet Varney. Together, we listened to all of The American Dragon’s entrance music from over the years in our beloved Ring Tones segment.

The Three Count

Lindsey put over the ladies of RAW dominating the run-time.

Julian put over Joe Hendry competing for Eurovision.

Hal put over couples wrestling.

Ep. 420: Bad Blood 2024 Oct 12, 2024

Show notes

Let there be blood and let it be less than good on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have wrapped up the final match in their rivalry that began in January. And what a way to close it out, with one of the best Hell in a Cell matches in recent memory.

But that leaves us with the time of year when WWE feels the most messy: Bron Breakker can’t settle on whether he’s a heel or a face, we’re back to one women’s match on RAW, the Saudi show is on the horizon… and we only have two hours every Monday to get it all sorted!

The Three Count

Danielle put over Punk’s upcoming triple threat.

Lindsey put over polite Solo .

Hal put over The creators of the Cosco-verse.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
