Tights and Fights

Latest Episodes:

Ep. 329: Seth “Freakin’” Rollins Dec 10, 2022

Show notes

It’s to celebrate an architect; a visionary; a messiah on a brand new episode of Tights and “Freakin’” Fights!

First we’ve gotta talk about a wild list of people that someone decided would be fun to trade between WWE and AEW(none of which we agree with!)

But there’s also plenty to get into with everyone who is currently involved in the United States Championship, which remains a compelling division.

Tegan Nox at last made her return to WWE. We’ll explain why some of the “lesser” names that have been brought in are actually a good sign for the future of the company.

Main Event: Seth “Freakin’” Rollins

Seth Rollins just past the 10th anniversary of his time on the Main Roster. He's been a champion at every level in the company from his time in the Shield, to the Authority to being Mr. "Freakin" Rollins.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Ricky Starks’ promo.

Lindsey put over Candice and the Internet’s baby nephew.

Hal put over a Christmas Cavalcade.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford, and Lindsey Kelk.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 328: Survivor Series: War Games 2022 Dec 03, 2022

Show notes

We’re talking all about the drama and physicality of the final WWE PLE of the year for 2022 on a brand new Tights and Fights!

Survivor Series was a fun show from beginning to end… with a few Ronda Rousey speed bumps in the middle.

But we can’t forget about AEW and its coronation of a new World Champion in Maxwell Jacob Friedman. While we’re a little confused about what’s going on with William Regal both on-screen and behind the scenes, MJF as champ is plenty to be excited about on the face of– as is Jade Cargill!

Main Event: War Games

WWE revived the War Games match in 2017. It was a fixture of NXT every year and now it's officially part of the main roster, starting this year.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Paul Heyman loving on Sami Zayn.

Lindsey put over Kenny Omega, looking better than ever.

Julian put over Jason David Frank, wrestling fan.

Hal put over Dominik and Rhea on Thanksgiving.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford, and Lindsey Kelk.

Ep. 327: It’s giving Thanksgiving Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

Don’t you just love the holidays? Let’s talk about them and somehow work some wrestling in on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

We’re going to discuss what’s on our respective menus as we gather together to celebrate. Who cares that most of our secret family recipes were from the back of boxes? We’re hungry!

Then we’ll go around and chat what we’re thankful for from wrestling this year. There’s still so much, from the ousting of toxic billionaires to other billionaires not being able to handle their mess to the friends we made along the way. Raise a glass for love!

Ep. 326: Shelton Benjamin Nov 19, 2022

Show notes

We’re fast approaching the final weeks of wrestling in 2022! Don’t let the destruction of Twitter distract you from everything coming up– we’re ready to talk about it on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

AEW still has a lot of uncertainty surrounding it, but Full Gear is still happening. Between MJF and The Elite returning, there’s hope that this PPV should end on a better note than the last one did.

WWE is still working on folding Austin Theory, Seth Rollins, Mustafa Ali and Bobby Lashley into a compelling US Title scene, all with War Games in the background. Speaking of which, how optimistic are we that Mia Yim can succeed in her second act in WWE?

Finally, it wouldn’t be the holidays without a convoluted match concept from NXT. Or rather, it would be… but not one that we’d want to face!

The Three Count:

Danielle put over Dante Martin

Hal put over Wrestling Refs as Wizards

Julian put over a requiem for Wrestle Twitter

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Ep. 325: Cookie Shawn Nov 12, 2022

Show notes

As demanded by our beloved Max Fun Members we are proud to welcome back Cookie Shawn to the show!

We’ve got lots of things to ask him about including the current status of his smile and how he gets into character.

Plus, we’re going to ask Cookie Shawn to recall memories of the story where Shawn Michaels was at his peak cartoony puppet self: vs. Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam. COOKIE!

Ep. 324: John “Bradshaw” Layfield Nov 05, 2022

Show notes

Migraines and being under-staffed will not deter us from gabbing about wrestling!

Are you feeling Ucey today? It’s okay if you’re not! Thankfully we’ve got Sami Zayn and the Bloodline to remind us to always be our Uciest. We’ll talk about how improbably over the concept is.

Plus, AEW has a PPV coming up, but that doesn’t mean they’re not also INCREDIBLY petty on the road there, right? We missed you Colt Cabana!

All of that… and how are we still finding ways to squeeze Taylor Swift references in this show?

The Main Event: JBL

John “Bradshaw'' Layfield is back in WWE after an extended absence. Previously he was a tag team champion, a Grand Slam Champion and commentator with Michael Cole. And now he's Baron Corbin's new mouthpiece and manager.

The Three Count

Julian put over CM Punk x Taylor Swift

Danielle put over Rhea Ripley’s mischievous nature.

Hosted by Danielle Radford, and Julian Burrell

Ep. 323: The Music of Bray Wyatt Oct 29, 2022

Show notes

It’s a special spoooooOOOOOoooky edition of Tights and Fights!

WWE welcomes its first ever fourth generation star with Ava Raine, also known as the daughter of The Rock. Her family lineage helped her get through the door, but will the comparisons hold her back long term?

Rhea Ripley slammed a man like a freakin’ BOSS! The Chyna comparisons are natural… but we’d take it even further.

Plus, if anyone knows the number of a tailor, we’d like them to get to work on JBL’s pants immediately.

Ring Tones: Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt is one of the biggest stars of the last 15 years in wrestling. And his arc has taken him from generic wrestler to cult leader to monster to lovable auteur with new music at every phase.

The Three Count

Danielle put over WWE at Wakanda Forever

Lindsey put over NXT on the road to Ladders at Halloween Havoc.

Hal put over Philly.

Ep. 322: Brock Lesnar with Nick Bond Oct 22, 2022

Show notes

Nothing but beasts and country boys in our pro wrestling! We’re breaking it all down on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

We welcome Nick Bond from the Ringer to hang out and provide some valuable insight into the world of wrestling. That includes information about how many people in Long Island are similar to MJF as he makes his way to the top of AEW.

Plus, we’ll remember how badly things were done with the women in WWE’s past and explain why we’re desperate for Bray Wyatt’s return being the end of a certain doll on RAW.

The Main Event: Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar has been a massive force in WWE since he debuted as the Next Big Thing in WWE. These days he's been the Beast Incarnate, Cowboy Brock and a multiple time world champion.

The Three Count

Nick put over Saturday Morning Superstars

Danielle put over Ember Moon vs. Jody Threat

Lindsey put over NXT on the road to Halloween Havoc.

Hal put over Bayley and Michael Cole’s eternal war.

Ep. 321: Extreme Rules and returning wrestlers Oct 15, 2022

Show notes

Are you ready to get Extreme?? To the Max?! Let’s get into all of it on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

First though we have to debate whether or not the show had the proper amount of extreme. Sure we don’t really have an appetite for blood, but did WWE strike the right balance of brutality this year?

And while there were some great matches like the (Full) Donnybrook and Bianca Belair vs. Bayley, there were a few missteps like Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey.

But we’ve also got new champions: Orange Cassidy! Seth Rollins! And Brock is definitely in a new Taylor Swift era!

The Main Event: Old faces in new places

This was a big week for debuts across all of wrestling. New and returning faces always make for fun shows, so let's talk about who we saw this week: Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Renee Paquette, Shawn Spears and BRAY WYATT!

The Three Count

Lindsey put over the most over dog!

Danielle put over the word Shillelagh

Julian put over MJF’s promo.

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Ep. 320: Bianca Belair Oct 08, 2022

Show notes

Is all news good news in wrestling? It turns out… No! Let’s talk about it on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

AEW put so much work into the anniversary edition of Dynamite this past Wednesday. But right on the surface there were a lot of things missing. Namely: all of the wrestlers who helped found the company as executives.

That put a cloud on things, but it only got worse right before the show started. Sammy Guevara and Andrade El Idolo are the latest AEW stars to come to blows backstage. But hey, this is just a not-proud tradition of wrestling right? RIGHT???

The Main Event: Bianca Belair

Ever since Bianca Belair won the 2021 Royal Rumble, she has had the rocket ship strapped to her back. She's main evented WrestleMania, won the title multiple times and has truly gotten over as a beloved babyface.

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Idea Soup.

Danielle put over Shawn Michaels on a talk show.

Hal put over The Rock making a fans day.

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
