For better or worse (but probably for worse), wrestling is about to get much more crowded than it’s been for over a year. We’ve already seen it in All Elite Wrestling. Their crowds reached an absolute fever pitch this past week at Fyter Fest night 1. We saw a bunch of great matches like Darby Allin vs. Ethan Page and fun moments like Adam Page finally confronting his pals in the Elite. And yet despite all that… There was still One Match from the women’s division. Thankfully there were more women...

Wakka Wakka! It’s a brand new episode of Tights and Fights! Muppets expert and host of the “Kermitment” podcast Matthew Gaydos joins us to break down all the biggest news in wrestling. He initially treated WWE’s empty arena shows as a way to get back into all the wrestling content he’d fallen out of. But that awkward silence was too much to bear for a weekly TV show. Now, he’s come back strong to watch a bunch of the weeks shows. We got the Great American Bash with wish-fulfilment for the shippe...

Do we have everybody’s attention now? It’s a brand new episode of Tights and Fights! Before we can even get into wrestling, Danielle can’t wait to tell you more about the brand new film F9 starring the one and only John Cena! Did he turn F9 into an FU? There’s only one way to find out! Plus there’s a lot to get into from AEW and NXT: How’s about the Young Bucks new facial hair? Like, we can all agree mutton chops are a universal heel move, right? And now that Isaiah “Swerve” Scott has brought go...

Talk less, Claymore, cuz we’re a three man baaaaaaaaand on Tights and Fights ! We had what ended up being a weeklong journey through hell and back. After four hell in a cell matches across multiple nights of wrestling, what stood out? Did Bianca Belair once again overshadow the pack in her match with Bayley or did things like Xavier Woods’ first world title match and Roman’s “Happy Father’s Day” make enough of an impression? Main Event: Drew McIntyre Drew McIntyre's title reign was the culminati...

JOE! JOE! JOE! JOE! It's a brand new episode of Tights and Fights! We’ve got just a few days to relax between WWE PPV weekends. NXT TakeOver: In Your House was a fina show by most counts, but it didn’t reach the lofty heights that we know TakeOvers can. What do we attribute that to? Plus, WWE decided to really throw us off and have a Hell in a Cell match on Smackdown instead of this Sunday? Does this mean Roman will gain custody of Dominik? Or will Rey Mysterio finally get a chance at a great ma...

Straighten up your tie and remember you were born naughty, it’s a brand new episode of Tights and Fights! Mat Ricardo is a variety performer based in England. It’s a career that requires a whole ton of entertaining crowds! So yeah you could say he understands a little bit of what wrestlers went through this year. But he’s got plenty of opinions on the most notorious WWE segment of the week: Shayna Baszler having it out with Alexa Bliss’ doll Lilly. Plus, it’s been three hours so it’s time for an...

The news has been insane this week, so let’s get some first hand information on at least some of it on a brand new Tights and Fights! Daron Jackson is a production attorney for WWE Films. Or at least he was up until a few days ago. Yup, not even the film production branch of the company is immune to the sweeping layoffs that Vince McMahon has inflicted upon the WWE. But even though his division was getting downsized, Daron was already on his way out of the company. He’ll tell us about what it wa...

But that’s not the only NBA crossover into wrestling: Basketball booted AEW from it’s regular time slot! Plus we’ll discuss what appears to be Kofi Kingston’s return to the main event title picture, Big E beginning his feud with Aleister Black and the very first title win of Tamina’s career. Main Ev...

Plus we’ll talk about some silly things like Lindsey’s cats and the worst rules for a flag match ever. Hosted by Hal Lublin and Linds...

If you thought last week was the end of WWE firing people, boy are you in for a shock: Mark Carrano, one of the least liked people from the company’s talent-relations department, has been let go following Mickie James’ ire on twitter. Plus, NXT continues to be too good for this world. Who’s going to enter the title picture next? Why does The Way continue to work in spite of (or perhaps ...

Feel the Glow, it’s time for the show! A new Tights and Fights ! This week became a major bummer as WWE announced a new spate of people getting fired. While some of those names were understandable in that it seemed like WWE didn’t know what to do with them, others were pretty shocking. The IIconics? Samoa Joe? What’s going on? We’ll also get into some less-awful post-WrestleMania news. Kushida’s the Cruiserweight champion! Charlotte’s already back on RAW! Taya Valkyrie is now Franky Money! All t...

It will be a Tights and Fights forever etched in history! We’ve watched two full nights of WrestleMania and we’re rarin’ to talk about it all! Of course, the emotional high point and the match that captured the hearts of millions was Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks which closed out night one. Tears were shed, emotions were had, triumph was felt by all. In fact, all of night one had moments we loved, from McIntyre and Lashley over-delivering to Cesaro finally getting his big singles moment and so m...

Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a Tights and Fights life for me! We’ve got two great nights of wrestling to cover from NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver to get through. New champions were crowned, exciting new directions were promised and it was full of the exciting action you’d expect from an NXT event. Who are we most excited to see in the aftermath of this? Who are we still unsure about? Plus, we’ll talk about the official end of two important events: the ratings “war” between AEW and NXT… and Kota Ibushi’s go...

It’s a brand new (off week) episode of Tights and Fights ! We’re forsaking the news to focus our attention on the newest and tallest WWE Hall of Famer: The Great Khali. No, this isn’t a rib! The Main Event Khali was introduced to the WWE with as much fanfare and force as Vince McMahon could muster. His first feud was with the Undertaker and he even got his own special match as a showcase: The Punjabi Prison! It was a big, confusing spectacle that we remember no matter how hard we wish we didn’t....

It’s life in the FastLane with a new episode of Tights and Fights! Hopefully, we’re officially done with PPVs before WrestleMania. We got a bunch of solid matches from FastLane, including some that surprisingly held the attention of the non-wrestling fans in our lives and one that just came up short in its finish. Most importantly: Now that it looks like Daniel Bryan might actually be added to the Universal Title match at WrestleMania, are we willing to amend our “TWO DUDES!” attitude in this on...

Let’s enjoy life in the fast lane before an orange racist ruins WrestleMania! It’s a brand new Tights and Fights! This Sunday is the last live show on the WWE Network before the service moves over to the Peacock platform. We’ll say little requiem for our $9.99 friend, between what went right, wrong and our hopes for WWE on Peacock. There are some fun matches on deck for Fast Lane, but it’s a little hard to focus on that when 1) this feels like an unnecessary step before Mania and 2) Hulk Hogan i...

Set the sparklers off! It’s time to over promise and under deliver on Tights and Fights! AEW’s Revolution PPV was capped off with a major Exploding barbed wire death match for the championship between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley. Despite a bunch of barbed wire, it sure was light on explosions and death. We’ll talk about the dud of a finish and how we would like to see the company respond. But it’s not all bad news in the land of the Elite... now they’ve got a brand new Christian Cage on the show ...

And will he really hold onto it any longer than WrestleMania? And we’ve also got plenty of other titles to discuss: Apollo Crews has a new mood and attitude as he fights for the ...
