Ep. 289: AEW’s “Who We Are” with Josiah Williams Feb 26, 2022

Show notes

It’s a new week and we brought the flow on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

Josiah Williams is the voice and creative force behind the rap project “Wrestle and Flow.” After years of it mainly being a personal project, he gained new notoriety by getting a job with WWE and NXT.

Now that he’s no longer a part of the company, he’s able to take on tons of new projects. Including the album of “Who We Are: A Celebration of Excellence” from AEW, where he raps about Mark Henry and Red Velvet.

Plus, Josiah will tell us about some of his favorite wrestling stories for the week. Which, of course, means we have to talk about MJF and CM Punk and how they were part of one of the greatest wrestling segments ever.

The Three Count

Julian put over the end of the MJF vs. CM Punk segment.

Hal put over Jericho and Eddie Kingston’s promo.

Josiah put over Buddy Matthews AEW debut.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Julian Burrell and Josiah Williams

Ep. 288 A very merry Lindsmitless Feb 19, 2022

Show notes

We’re talking all about the star who arrived, left and may return once more on Tights and Fights!

But lest we forget: This was a fantastic week for televised women’s wrestling! Naomi reintroduced herself to the world in a great match against Charlotte; Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley were the heart of lengthy gauntlet match; Thunder Rose and Mercedes Martinez beat the breaks off each other on Dynamite!

Plus, there’s lots of interesting alliances and conflicts being set up across all the shows, but for some reason we still can’t get enough of Brock Lesnar’s little pony tail.

The Main Event

Cody Rhodes wrestled all over the world after leaving WWE. He later was one of–if not THE major reason that AEW ever came together. Now he's leaving the company he helped found. And all reports point to him coming back to WWE.

The Three Count

Danielle put over The Biggest of Funerals.

Lindsey put over Baby Gargano.

Hal put over CM Punk stunning MJF.

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Ep. 287: Hindenburg Feb 12, 2022

Show notes

Grab your Little Ceaser’s pizza of choice! Big Boi Season is back on a brand new Tights and Fights!

Keith Lee is finally back on TV with AEW! And as excited as we are to see the Limitless One, did Tony Khan bungle the response in trying to build for his debut? And what was up with the crowd being not quite as enthusiastic as we would’ve liked?

And it seems like all of the major title holders on US TV have a lot to touch on. Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar may end up being a double champion in a few months; Adam Cole is challenging Adam Page to determine the supreme Adam of AEW; and Ronda has chosen Charlotte as her opponent at WrestleMania leaving Becky free to take on someone else more interesting…

All of that, plus we’ll get to talk about The World of Color that is NXT 2.0.

My Special Wrestler

Listener Erik tell us a touching story about how a certain prizefighter helped his family heal from a terrible trauma.

The Three Count

Danielle put over Becky Lynch dunking on Ric Flair.

Hal put over The lighter side of wrestling twitter.

Julian put over CM Punk’s match against Frank Turner

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Danielle Radford.

Ep. 286: The 2022 Royal Rumble Feb 05, 2022

Show notes

In 3…2…1…!!!! It’s a NEW episode of Tights and Fights!

A lot of lows, but there were plenty of things on the show to be excited about even though we’re not thrilled with Ronda and Brock as our winners. There’s still plenty to be excited about including Bad Bunny and lots of fun stories from the women’s rumble.

Plus, while we’re usually against a DQ finish, Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins truly hit on all cylinders.

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Brie Bella on The Real Dirty Dancing.

Danielle put over Brock Lesnar with Jackass.

Hal put over Sami Zayn at the Jackass premier.

Ep. 285: The Women of the Rumble Jan 29, 2022

Show notes

It’s the home stretch before the Royal Rumble! And that means it’s our final chance to speculate wildly on a NEW episode of Tights and Fights!

We’re letting our imaginations run wild. Who will show up in the Rumble match? Who has the best chance to win? For the first time in a while it feels like the field is wide open!

And not to be out done, AEW had another event show on TBS: “Beach Break!” Amid all the amazingly athletic spots in the TNT title match, we’re still a little confused about how we got to Sammy Guevara as a two time champion… and we’re still not positive about him as a face. Almost as unsure as we are about NXT 2.0!

But all that aside: DANHAUSEN IS IN AEW!

The Main Event

The women of WWE getting their own version of the Royal Rumble is a relatively new annual tradition we all look forward to. But even before this match, there were four women who competed in the original Rumble to give us something to cheer for.

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Danhausen’s debut in AEW.

Danielle put over wrestlers respecting wrestlers.

Hal put over Johnny Gargano seducing his wife.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 284: The Padding-verse Jan 22, 2022

Show notes

We’re a week out from the Royal Rumble! Time to break it all down on NEW episode of Tights and Fights!

There were a couple of big stories that involved real life difficulties: 1) Mustafa Ali has asked for his release, but WWE is reportedly not going to provide him with it. 2) Jon Moxley is back in a wrestling ring looking as healthy as ever after his sabbatical. Both hit our emotions hard in completely different ways.

And even as the seeds for WrestleMania slowly take shape, we’re excited for some of the Royal Rumble matches in their own right. Roman vs. Seth! Brock vs. Bobby!

All that, plus a look at the AEW women’s division… which seems to be taking baby steps towards improvement?

The Main Event

WALTER was one of the last major signings onto NXT. He became the longest reigning NXT UK Champion, made a few cameos on the main roster and now he's got a new name that's super problematic!

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Maryse hitting Beth Phoenix with a brick.

Danielle put over a Vegas wrestler taking down an attempted attacker on the street.

Hal put over John Cena on Peacemaker

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 283: Forbidden Cat Flap Jan 15, 2022

Show notes

We’re on the road to the road to WrestleMania!

Danielle and Lindsey return to speculate about the women’s Royal Rumble. Tons of returns were immediately revealed to get people to tune in, but will there still be room for a few surprises?

Plus, we’re all a little down on the state of NXT 2.0 and New Japan Pro Wrestling. But we have faith that one of those will turn the corner soon and the other one will be relegated to background viewing for the foreseeable future.

Main Event

Mickie James got a lot of attention this week when she announced that she will be in the Royal Rumble– and she's bringing the Impact Knockout Championship with her!

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Peacemaker on HBO

Danielle put over The AEW mixtape

Julian put over Macho Man Randy Savage in Spider-Man

Hosted by Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 282: Fragile billionaire Jan 08, 2022

Show notes

It’s the first week of wrestling of 2022! Time to dive back into the craziness on a brand new Tights and Fights!

WWE’s Day 1 PPV was thrown for a loop when Roman Reigns announced he’d tested positive for COVID-19. The consolation prize: Brock Lesnar as our new WWE Champion! We’ll explain where we think Lesnar goes from here and pour one out for Big E’s time as the top champion.

Plus, AEW Dynamite has a new home on TBS. How did the first show go as multiple people held gold in the company for the first time?

All that and we’ll even get to talk about how much we’re looking forward to what’s next for Liv Morgan.

Main Event

Big Swole left AEW a few weeks ago. This week we learned more about why on her podcast. One of the biggest issues was that she feels AEW has a big diversity and black representation issue. That prompted Tony Khan to put his whole foot in his mouth to defend his company and say that the reason he didn't renew Swole's contract was because she's a bad wrestler.

The Three Count

Hal put over the newest Lesnar Guy

Julian put over Lio Rush being a real one.

Hosted by Hal Lublin and Julian Burrel

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

Ep. 281: Superplexatives Jan 01, 2022

Show notes

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.
