Well friends, Chuck Taylor is dead, and may his memory be a blessing to all of us. The girls process their big feelings about Orange Cassidy's announcement and speculate about Dustin's future. It is simply not rewarding being a Chuck Taylor fan. In happier news, the Elite have taken over Dynamite, and honestly, we think they're doing a great job. Sorry Kenny! Plus Serena Deeb is scaring the hoes, and Chris Jericho is back on top. It's a mixed bag! 00:00 Chit Chat Time 05:05 Best friends 27:48 El...

This week was QUITE an exciting one for Fun Loving Girls, so as a treat we went long to talk about ALL our favorites. We were giving out awards left and right: Trent Beretta, congrats on your Most Persuasive Argument Award for a truly coherent and impressive Heel Turn Monologue. Jack “JB” Perry, GREAT work on snagging the coveted Damon Salvatore Mommy’s Little Ham award. And Nicholas Jackson? You took your shirt off so you got a very much deserved MVP/Locker Room Leader award, and tell your brot...

Mox came back and suddenly AEW feels like home again! We discuss the BCC’s feud with the Don Callis family and whether Ospreay has any concept of why it’s happening. Then it’s over to mommy’s little Elite and this week, Okada receives a very prestigious award! But he’s not the only one getting accolades this week, we also feel incredible relief over Jericho’s increasing confidence as he welcomes all of us to his Learning Tree atop Wizard Mountain. We do a check in with the heartbreakers formerly...

It was a weird week in wrestling, and we discuss our mixed feelings about AEW airing All In backstage footage of CM Punk attacking Jack Perry. But even though parts of that were a bit of a bummer, at least we had a great time seeing the unlikely tag team of Willow Nightingale and Adam Copeland come together, and were very entertained by witnessing what seemed to be Alex Marvez’s first time sitting in a chair! Plus, kissing??? Tender perfect kissing between Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa? And if t...

Hey guys? Greg turned heel. Greg turned heel and he kicked OC and Dustin left with Sue, and OC was left in the ring. Cue Taps, and 1 billion years of sobbing. We talk about some other stuff too, like Kris going heel, Joe actually bothering to be a heel, and Dave Meltzer’s hypothetical reaction to Ospreay having something called a Kissing Match. Also? Greg went heel. Thank you for your kind words during this trying time. 00:00 Chit Chat Time 11:58 Copleopen 21:13 Greg Went Heel 44:09 Willow, Kris...

We only had a luxurious, cool two hours of AEW to review this week and your girls frankly enjoyed reveling in it! We get into the taggy tourney in all its important manifestations: Young Bucks, Best Friends (OC and Trent version), and of course, the Other, Less Fun side of the bracket. We also talk about what's going on with Chris "Big J" Jericho, exhort Samoa Joe to start pulling his weight on the World Title group project, and give a little undeserved time to our favorite cannibal Kylo Riley. ...

Some of our listeners who've left five star reviews took advantage of our rewards program to make us watch a match of their choosing, and BOY did they deliver! Rory Beckett gave us Swerve vs. Athena and those were some EXTREME HUNKS IN ACTION. Then Young Boy Joshua Smith of Keepin' It Strong Style got us to watch a 1985 I Quit match between Magnum TA and Tully Blanchard and uhhhh that was a lot more sexually compelling than we were prepared for. Tim Hunter gave us a Stardom Escape the Cage match...

It’s Tunnel Talk’s third anniversary, and as is traditional, the girls are in their cups! Despite slowly descending into a negroni hole, your hosts still manage to cover the horniness of the I Can’t Quit You Match, the diversity of storylines in the women’s division, the impending end to our podcast over Ospreay’s likeabilty, and who is not participating in the group project that is the Swerve/Joe feud. Join us for this episode, and perhaps for another three years! 00:00 3 yr anniversary reflect...

Allie's at the rodeo so Lea and Anne bravely walked themselves through a very exciting week as Lea was there in person to see Mercedes Moné debut! We talk women's division; we talk how the other recent debuts are fitting in; we talk about what Adam Cole should be up to if we HAVE to see him. In other news - Samoa Joe: phoning it in. Wardlow: pointless. Kylo Riley: still scarred by his cannibal past. Eddie Kingston and Chuck Taylor: beautiful bodies training... for the future? And Darby? Well, Go...

TUNNELS ARE BACK and so are your girls! The whole of the Social Suplex Network is in a good mood this week, and we’re right there with them. We discuss men leaving on their fronts, the debut of Okada, Swerve facing down the idea of karmic retribution, the return of Kylo Riley and what Horrors he might have seen while he was gone, Danielson’s hard look at his own failure to respect Eddie, and more! The men were doing the EMOTIONAL WORK this week! And hey, we got to see a butt! Viva la Revolution!...

This week, your girls went to an art gallery, swirled their wine, and said, “Provocative.” They also said a lot of things about men’s titties and going out on their backs! Join us as we preview the matches for Revolution this weekend, and talk through the ongoing feuds as well as Ospreay’s delightful drunk girl Kermit-the-frog debut, FTR’s ongoing long, boring invasion of Dynamite, Young Bucks fashion, Sting's retirement, the disappointment of the OC vs. Roddy feud, Swerve and Hangman's characte...

We’re still in the most February February of all February, but your girls march on, cackling all the way. Dynamite this week was hmm…subpar, but we made the most of it it anyway with our admiration of new Best Friends member Jake Hager. Wardlow yelled at us for approximately 20 minutes, but he had a good clear enunciation so that’s something. But hey, Hangman and Swerve are still trying their best to tell us a story, and Christian remains the GOAT, the best in the biz, the only one who knows how...

It's been a very fun 2024 in AEW, to our intense relief! Samoa Joe is doing everything he can to get Swerve and Hangman's attention, with little success — whatever, he's only the world champion! Danny Garcia is continuing to experiment with FTR, clearly because of his BROKEN HOME. Matt Jackson is thoroughly in boymode and getting praise for it, which we have not failed to notice. OC and Matt Taven had a kickass Texas Death Match while Roddy continued to look like a dweeb, and the women's divisio...

It’s a very February week in February and the girls do a quick check-in about some of the stuff we haven’t been talking about in the other company and recommend some of the very good podcasts in our little community. Then we turn our attention to this week in AEW, where we try to make sense of the FTR/Daniel Garcia relationship, and how it’s intersecting with The Patriarchy. Is Daniel Garcia just standing in for Adam Copeland? Speaking of Big Cope, we watched Percy Jackson, and honestly, it got ...

We found a lot to talk about this week! FTR & Daniel Garcia had a cagematch with House of Black that was the most nonsensical thing we've ever seen; Deonna Purrazzo gave us more details on her and Toni Storm's matching tattoos PLUS a package of youthful photos of them; and the Young Bucks let us wonder: are they lying about having had a goth phase? (Yes). Plus: we say some things about Hangman's mustache that we have a hard time recovering from! 00:00 Chitchat Time 04:01 Rankings 11:53 Black...

There's a new member of Anne's family, and we're so excited for her! After we hear the whole story and offer her warm congratulations, we turn our attention to the wrestling. Allie finds out that the Cope Open (or the Copleopen as Schiavone calls it) is an open challenge, not the opening of the show, which makes a lot more sense. In the title scene, Joe is still doing fabulous work, and we all swoon over Swerve's lavender eye shadow, and marvel at the lusciousness of Hangman's mustache. Then we ...

Anne's back and so are SO many of our favorite boys, who we talk about in perhaps too much detail: the Young Bucks, Jungle Boy Jack Perry (sort of), and of course our beloved Chuck Taylor! But don't worry, we also spend plenty of time talking about how Samoa Joe has finally stopped phoning it in, Swerve and Hangman's shared obsession with each other, and our new daughter Deonna Purrazzo.

Beautiful Anne is traveling this week and leaves Allie and Lea alone with no babysitter. Many will say, “Bad idea!” The girls discuss the biggest news of the week: BUCKS BACK.

Tunnel Talk is so excited to be joining the Social Suplex Network! And as our introduction to our new home, this week we return to our roots. That's right, the Continental Classic has wrapped up so we're not focused on "sports presentation" anymore, and we're back to men doing "what they needed to do" and "making beautiful music together." Beautiful music... with their bodies. We get into the World's End PPV, Continental Classic outcomes, Mox and Eddie, Swerve and Hangman, and Darby and Takeshit...

You know what your girls love? That's right, it's MATH! It's CONTINENTAL CLASSIC SPORTS MATH!! You'll be shocked and amazed to hear us get halfway through the episode before using the word erotic once because we're so obsessed with the "path" to various scenarios. But we do talk Jericho's sweet announcement of Kenny's diverticulitis, if Claudio's the only man not letting the Conny take him on an emotional journey, MJF's character problems and how we are gently tugging him off stage with a giant ...

We know you must be wondering how your favorite girls felt about Swerve and Mox doing a little kissy, and the answer is: we lost our complete shit . On top of that, Bryan Danielson spit on Daniel Garcia, and Eddie finally won a match? The Continental Classic RULES! Elsewhere, we revel in Hangman opening and closing the show, Kenny and Jericho are on island time, and Willow and Mercedes do the sexiest violence to each other. It's so fun to be pandered to!

Initially dubious of the Continental Classic, the recent glut of twitter promos from our contestants have gotten your girls veeeery interested. We take stock of the tournament so far, and where we hope it's going to go. Then it's old man yaoi time--Christian Cage tells Adam Copeland everything he's ever wanted to hear but NOT for the right reasons! We are INVIGORATED. Then it's a trip to Boyzone where we welcome beloved Dante Martin back into our hearts. Be CAREFUL with him. He's fragile! Plus, ...

The girls tried their hardest this week to be thankful but unfortunately did have to join the IWC in being annoyed at a lot of Full Gear, a turn of events which brought them no pleasure. We get into specifically what's not working for us around the MJF storylines, the deflation we're feeling around the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, and disappointments around the women's belt changes. But we also had a blast with Christian Cage, got horned UP for the bloody gorey blood drinking gore of Swerve and ...

It's Full Gear, baby!!! Due to the dictates of our schedules versus Tony's, we're recording this before the pay-per-view airs, but releasing it after! Join us as we run down the match card making all the foolish predictions and jokes you've grown to love! How exactly will the Elite fracture? Will Swerve and Hangman explode when they finally get their hands on each other? Is Kris really in danger of losing the belt? Who is the Devil? These are all questions we attempt to answer to an audience tha...

Okay, now your girls are annoyed. Last week, the whole internet was up in arms about the direction of Dynamite while we looked around in polite bemusement. This week, everyone seems to have calmed down, while we're really sharpening our pitchforks. We get deep into our issues with The Elite's tragedy, MJF and Max Caster's romcom, Daniel Garcia's bildungsroman, and the horror that could be Samoa Joe's reign. Join us!

It was a very divisive episode of Dynamite in the IWC this week, which came as quite a surprise to the ladies of Tunnel Talk, who had an inoffensive, moderately good time watching it. Anne was our reporter on the ground and was there in person with her dad, who came as an anthropologist and left impressed by the feats of strength and soap operas for men. This podcast we get into the important topics of the week, such as: what big boys are good at selling for small boys? Is it really "obvious" th...

It’s spooky season here at Tunnel Talk and the girls take on the events of the week with an eye towards their favorite horror movies! Is MJF starring in his own version of Ready or Not as he dodges the killers dogging every step? Is Hangman playing Sarah from Labyrinth to Swerve’s Jareth the Goblin King? Exactly how soon after the movie starts is Matt Jackson going down? We cover all this and more on this week’s episode! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tunnel-talk/donations Adver...

Allie's back! And how did wrestling reward her for coming indoors? By withholding Hangman and the Bucks from her and from all of us. But our mental health remained strong and we had a blast being reunited to really bluesky how Tony Khan could prevent possible shoot heat scenarios from festering backstage. Ricky and Cope, we're looking at you (maybe). We get into the whole week in AEW, from Sting's impending retirement to MJF and the Case of the Too Many Feuds, from Best Friends eating on screen ...
