Ep. 319: The Usos Oct 01, 2022

Show notes

Extreme Rules looks extremely entertaining this year, so let’s channel that excitement into a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

You want a strap match (hopefully without fireballs)? You want the first ever one-on-one women’s ladder match in the history of the main roster? How’s about a big ol’ pit to fight in? Boy does WWE seem ready to cater to you!

But even putting aside the upcoming PPV, Sami Zayn and the Bloodline put on an Emmy-worthy performance to open up Smackdown this week and wow are we excited to see where it goes.

The Main Event: Saraya (fka Paige) and the women of AEW

Jimmy and Jey Uso have been part of WWE since 2010. They've grown from a fun slideshow to multiple time champions to the most important stable in the company.

The Three Count

Julian put over Wrestle Club.

Danielle and Hal put over Ric Flair in the worst thing ever.

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 318: Two and a half champs Sep 24, 2022

Show notes

A Grand Slam, a secret bunny and a bunch of new champions. It’s the kind of combination you can only get in wrestling! And we’re all too happy to walk you through it on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

AEW set up a bunch of new champions, including Jon Moxley finally getting a true coronation. Shame he’ll never get that vacation though.

And as Logan Paul continues to be miscast as a babyface there’s a very interesting dynamic at play in his match against Roman Reigns– even though we have no intention of seeing the match that will pay it all off.

Plus we’ll talk about WWE running a surprisingly successful viral campaign and why Lindsey got very British in her disapproval of Cesaro losing the ROH World Title.

The Main Event: Saraya (fka Paige) and the women of AEW

Paige was one of the first names in WWE's rebooted women's division. Injury forced her to step away from performing in the ring, but she remained a big part of the shows for years before leaving the company earlier this year. Now she's made her debut in AEW as Saraya where she'll likely wrestle again for the first time since 2017.

The Three Count

Danielle put over MJF back on the mic.

Lindsey put over Strowman's Male Models.

Hal put over Sodas on Smackdown.

Hosted by Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 317: NXT re-reboot Sep 17, 2022

Show notes

After such a chaotic week, it’s nice to get back to the part of wrestling we love: the wrestling! That’s the love we share with you on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

Solo Sikoa is the newest Uce with the Bloodline. And it turns out he’s cool with his adopted family Sami Zayn as much as he is with his brothers. But when does it all implode?

Between Shayna Baszler and Sonya Deville, we actually love a little bit of MMA in our wrestling! And we also enjoy a bit of friendship between fwiends of all colors.

Plus: AEW looks to recover from a chaotic time by crowning a new World Champion next week. Can Bryan Danielson and MJF give the brand the stability that it needs?

And hey, if you need to smile, just remember that Chad Gable and Alpha Academy exists and Johnny Gargano had his first match in months!

The Main Event: NXT 2.0

It's been one year since NXT was moved to Tuesday nights and rebooted with a new look and a new direction as NXT 2.0. And after this week, it looks like they'll once again be tweaking the presentation of WWE's developmental show.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Roman Reigns on imPaulsive.

Lindsey put over reviews for Mindy’s Bakery in Chicago.

Julian put over a spine-buster that would make Arn Anderson proud.

Hosted by Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 316: Clash at the Castle + CM Punk Sep 10, 2022

Show notes

What an emotional rollercoaster of a week! Let’s talk about it all on a jumbo-sized brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

Clash at the Castle was everything we could have hoped for and so much more. Some of the best matches of the year from WWE along with intriguing new directions for a bunch of the major characters. Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns! Gunther vs. Sheamus! Bianca Belair’s first loss in forever!

The good vibes continued the next day on NXT: Worlds Collide. Are we finally excited about NXT again?

AEW’s All Out show was a bit more uneven, but still delivered some matches that were at least worth a watch… but that was almost forgotten just a few hours after the show.

The Main Event: CM Punk’s Gripe Bomb

After regaining his AEW championship, CM Punk joined Tony Khan for a press conference that will live in infamy. He launched into a tirade that bad-mouthed Colt Cabana, MJF, Adam Page, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.

As if that wasn't enough, Punk said, "If you have a problem, come find me." And find him the Bucks and Kenny did, starting a fight that would get the Bucks, Pat Buck, Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa suspended. Ace Steel and Punk's status with the company has not been determined yet.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Black wrestling twitter amid the chaos.

Lindsey put over Damien Priest with a happy Welsh family.

Julian put over a column on the facade of CM Punk crumbling.

Ep. 315: Sami Zayn - Friend Forever Sep 03, 2022

Show notes

Do a little dance! Get ready for a massive wrestling weekend with a brand new Tights and Fights!

The stage is set for Clash at the Castle. RAW and Smackdown have been a lot of fun the last few weeks. But in one of the most controversial moves of the show Triple H era, Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez are the new women’s tag team champions. We’ll explain why the surprise move isn’t that concerning yet.

Because they can’t go a week without drama, Tony Khan shared his reasoning for why Thunder Rosa’s injury didn’t get the same treatment as CM Punk. Some of the reasoning was understandable and some of it was very disappointing to hear.

But let’s not let it get in the way of a good time for the next few days!

The Main Event: Sami Zayn

Sami has been with the WWE for almost 10 years now. He's won titles, had great matches and he's now involved with the most high profile stable in the company.

The Three Count

Danielle put over young Undertaker.

Lindsey put over Seth Rollins going for the jugular.

Hal put over the Attitude Era end credits.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Ep. 314: Bayley the Role Model Aug 27, 2022

Show notes

DING DONG! Backstage drama and title controversy abound! Time to talk about it on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights.

As more and more reports come out about AEW’s messy life behind the scenes of fights and talent meetings, the most public discussion is Jon Moxley squashing CM Punk in the “biggest match in AEW’s history.” What’s a work? What’s real? Who can even say?

But there’s so much to love this week too! Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell’s love story continues and Johnny Gargano has at last debuted in WWE.

Between all that let’s give a big hearty “A-thank yewwwwwwww” for all the things to enjoy in wrestling!

The Main Event: Bayley

It took a little over a year, but Bayley has finally returned to WWE bringing new friends for the next step of her career.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Eddie Kingston being her best friend.

Julian put over his favorite wrestling x Chargers x video games x backyard games crossover.

Hal put over Baby Gargano.

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Ep. 313: WrestleMania preview Aug 20, 2022

Show notes

So much great wrestling, so little time! We’re getting tons of shows to look forward to almost every day of the week. Something for everyone, you could even say!

And while there were tons of great matches no matter your preference, the show that we have the most questions about is Dynamite. With CM Punk back, speculation abounds about his behavior behind the scenes. How much of that is part of a planned story? And how much is Punk being his usual cranky self?

But we’ll have more to say about all of the great promos and title defenses we’ve seen so far. What a great time to be a fan!

The Main Event: WrestleMania at SoFi

In case you hadn't heard, WrestleMania is coming to SoFi stadium in Los Angeles this April. WWE had a fun preview event at the show that was free for fans and media to attend– and that included us! We got see the depths of SoFi and speak with Nikki ASH, Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins and Dominik Mysterio!

The Three Count

Danielle put over Becky Lynch C-walking.

Lindsey put over Seth Rollins’ and the Rock’s memories and Liv Morgan’s book recommendations.

Julian put over Triple H making dreams come true.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 313: These are YOUR Main Events Aug 13, 2022

Show notes

Blood is disgusting! We watched half of AEW through clenched eyes! But there’s also plenty of things we DID love on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

CM Punk, Dexter Lumis and Karrion Kross all returned to wrestling. And sure we don’t really know how the latter two are going to do, but the possibility sure is exciting.

Between that and Kevin Owens returning to being the prize fighter, the US title getting a lot of love and so much more, the good times continue to roll!

The Main Event: Giving you the book!

As part of the special Max Fun Drive stretch goals, we've given the book to our listeners to tell us all the corners of the wrestling world deserve some extra attention. These are your Main Events!

The Three Count

Hal put over Ciampa's big US title push.

Danielle put over Becky Lynch C-walking.

Lindsey over Asuka (nuff said).

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

Ep. 312: Summerslam 2022 Aug 06, 2022

Show notes

It was the biggest party of the Summer and Vince McMahon wasn’t invited! Let’s talk about Summerslam and RAW on a brand new Tights and Fights.

Triple H made his presence felt in the first night on RAW, allowing Becky Lynch to turn face and bringing back Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai to shake up the women’s roster on WWE.

The other book end of the night featured Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns for what may be the last time. And I think we can all agree that TRACTORS!!!!!

Between all the great matches and the United States Championship getting a ton of love there’s a change in the air that’s infectious. Hell, we even loved seeing Logan Paul in our wrestling show! What a time!

The Three Count

Hal put over Bayley recalling her injury.

Danielle put over SRS calling knuck if you buck.

Julian over NXT (can you believe it?).

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
