Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks with Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero

This week (Episode 144), Kenny is working on his emotions—and by the end of the show, the listeners are going to make sure he talks about them. Before "Emotional Support Kenny" can fully emerge, Jason, Fantastico and Kenny have plenty to fight about, starting with playoff foul-ball etiquette and Max Caster’s controversial TNA rap, which raises the question: what exactly did everyone expect when they handed Max Caster a live microphone and he started doing Max Caster things? Meanwhile, WWE has apparently decided that “Dude Wipes” belongs on wrestling merchandise, AEW has created something called Clockwork Carnage that the guys attempt to decipher, and WrestleDream and Money in the Bank provide plenty more questionable decisions to argue over. Then the fan mail puts Kenny’s emotional availability under the microscope and sends the guys down another series of arguments, tangents and increasingly questionable answers. Throw in dangerous ladders, wrestling legends, unnecessary tournaments, condiment-related employment security and a surprising amount of discussion about “solemnity,” and you’ve got another perfectly normal weekly episode.

It's episode 143 of Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks and Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW and RecCenterTV.com) are here to break it down! Somewhere between Beverly Hills and a ladder match, professional wrestling has completely lost the plot—and naturally, the guys have thoughts. This week, the crew wades through another round of questionable booking, disappearing championships, baffling creative decisions, and the increasingly strange road to Money in the Bank. There are predictions to make, grievances to air, and more than a few completely unnecessary detours through television, that new Verity movie, sports, and whatever else happens to derail the conversation. By the time it’s over, Aaron Spelling is producing WWE from beyond the grave and somehow that might actually explain a few things. Also the guys answer letters from listeners.

It's episode 142 and the guys are here with another recap from this week's RAW and before. Jason, Kenny, and Gringo pay tribute to PAC, one of the greatest wrestlers of modern times. Unfortunately, Steven Borden's proves that gravity always prevails, which inspires Gringo and Jason to give insight on their own early career ring mistakes. All Out is reviewed and discussed alongside this week's WWE Smackdown and this past Monday Night Raw on Ad-Flix. Gringo gives his unexpected opinion on Randy Orton's promo on Smackdown. Gringo goes nuclear about WWE's misuse of Big Cass and his jobbing out to people significantly smaller than him. The guys answer listener mail and discuss the current trend of commentary in wrestling.

Hola, hip, cool Fantasticats! It's time for another episode of Headlines Headlocks and Hijinks. Episode 141 to be exact... and it's time for the Counter-Programming Wars as this Saturday AEW's All Out goes head to head with TKO's WWE's AAA's World's Collide! Not only are they going to head to head on the same night but they are taking place miles from one another in Chicago. The giant corporate and usually flaccid TKO member is going to attempt to take a swing at AEW's slowly growing member. I know that's gross, but the damn comparison is the truth! Let's see who ends up on top! (I swear when I first typed that I didn't realize I made another innuendo!). Additionally, the guys talk about the week in wrestling profiling AAA, Smackdown, and Raw, as well as make their predictions for this weekend's events. Will WWE and Door Dash overtake AEW's follow up to All-In. Who knows? I guess we'll find out and b**** about it later! Also, look for Gringo and Diana Prince on tonight's AEW Dynamite and Collision as they will be there live!

Please email us your thoughts on this weekend's events at [email protected]! We'll read them on the show!

Thanks for the continued support!!!

Hola, hip, cool Fantasticats! It's time for a brand new episode of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks." We took last week off because I (Fantastico) got smacked in the face with one of the worst sinus infections imaginable, and because Turtleneck's Prince Charming (Taylor Swift) didn't come to his rescue and wake him with a kiss. (Sorry, Turtleneck). Anywho, we're back with an extra long episode to make up for it with this revitalized luchador (which means I'm probably much more annoying than usual), the sharp-witted and awake Jason Hilton, and the guy that punches up our jokes with his feelings on Speedball Mike Bailey, Kenny Romero. We had a ton of stuff happen over the past two weeks... Betrayals, several new champions, Mexico not rioting when they probably should have, banger matches, terrible matches, Sunday Night's Main Event being mostly a contractual obligation, and a lot more. Triplemania happened! We had tear jerker events from AEW. We've lost talent. We've celebrated talent. We've heightened awareness for super important cause! It's all here! On top of all of that, we talk about non-important unrelated s***! Thanks for your patience. Thanks for listening!

It's Episode 139 of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks!" AEW's All In happened this past Sunday and WWE will need to step up! Will they at this Sunday's "Sunday's Night Main Event?" Probably not, but we can hope. WWE has booked themselves into a real problem as the winner of the luchador tournament has been crowned and who knows what will happen if Penta doesn't win in Mexico... Riot City! No one would blame them for it. Will TKO book this like idiots or will they do the right thing and give everyone in Mexico what they want to see. Probably not, but we can hope. The guys give their takes, predictions, and fantasy booking for the aftermath of what's to come for this Sunday night. Will TKO do the right thing and put Bron over on Oba Femi? Will Lil Yachty change his name to Lil Yacht Rock and come down to the ring to a smooth Michael McDonald tune? Probably not, but we can hope.

It's episode 138 and the trio is back for another round of hot takes and ridiculousness. Right off the bat they pay tribute to life of Dolly Parton by giving interesting facts and Gringo giving us his favorite Dolly movie moment. Then it's on to talk AEW's flagship PPV, "All In." The guys give their predictions for the big event and the reasoning behind them. Then it's on to WWE-Ville. Smackdown was there. RAW was pretty good with a VPN and VERY limited ads. Who advanced in the tournament to job to Roman Reigns? What antics will Solo Sikoa do this week? Why is Royce Keys leading a new faction with a team that has probably one of the worst names in recent history? Who knows, but we'll definitely assess! We then head South of the border to talk AAA! It's another fun episode with all the noise you'd expect out of these three insane with plenty of Shih Tzu moments (I'll explain this later if someone reminds me).

It's another week and another new episode of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks! The guys talk mostly WWE this week. Smackdown had two title changes which is somewhat interesting. RAW had a solid show that Gringo refused to watch because of the giant TKO advertising di.... nevermind. The idea of a Penta vs Rey Fenix in the winner gets to lose to Roman Reigns is interesting. However, the highlight of WWE this week was Solo Sikoa being awesome. Never in a million years did I ever think I was going to say that. The trio discusses WWE paying too much attention to AAA because they'll ruin the awesomeness of AAA. Gringo goes on a nuclear rant about the Avery Style situation. Turtleneck and Gringo give their insights as former indie wrestlers. The guys answer a listener email!

Seriously... just shut up and put the damn ring like everyone else does when they're a rookie ya damn nepo baby! Sorry. Anyway... wrestling happened and the guys are here to bring you all of the love and hate they have for today's product. Back to the original statement, AJ Styles doesn't think his kid should have to put the ring when he's starting out. Sure, Jan. The Saints suspend Scott Steiner's kid for illegal contaminates, and other stories start off the pod.

Then, it's on to talk about the week in WWE. Danhausen doesn't seem to be the only one cursing people... seems like Michael Hayes as well. Door Dash and Dom's "chicken tendies" take precedence over Joe Hendry's in ring segment. Several people seem to be irritated with their current booking. Were the regular shows good? Define good? There were some good segments and some bad ones. Solo, finally becoming entertaining and interesting, takes the proverbial Delorian back to 2021. WWE displays AAA in half speed by bringing Laredo Kid to RAW for a tournament match with Penta. Becky Lynch makes the women's title picture interesting again. The Sea Hag helps too! Bron Breakker gets neutered. What a night of Raw... if you are willing to accept mediocrity. AAA was pretty fun. Damien 666 returns to Perros Del Mal. Two of the worst named wrestlers ever (Jack Cartwheel and Noisy Boy) put on a super fast paced and innovative match. We get a really good Dom backstage sit down interview. Can we just review AAA from now on and omit everything from this pod? The guys also answer a few interesting letters from listeners.

Summerslam happened! Raw happened. Other stuff happened. Most importantly, the guys are all back together again and all is right in their world of wrestling podcasting. Was Summerslam any good? Was Raw tolerable? How about AAA (not the roadside service)? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out what we thought? Expect periods of ranting and raving with strong chances of hot takes!
