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

  • Summerslam and the Human Response
    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!

  • Fantastico Flies Solo (Not Sikoa)
    Oh boy! Tonight is gonna be short and hopefully not a train wreck! "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico flies solo for this week's episode. Kenny can't drive and pod and Turtleneck's hamster can't run fast enough to power his computer after a huge power outage in his area. Summerslam is this upcoming weekend and Fantastico with his limitless positivity tries to break it down somewhat positively. He briefly recaps AEW Redemption (want a full recap? Listen to the AEW-Some Pod). After one of the worst go-home Monday Night Raw's in recent history, will Summerslam be the usual TKO overbooked crapfest or will their unapologetic use of AI rally us into caring? Who knows? Nick Aldis has his big comeback match after a 3 year hiatus against Gunther and Balor vs Sami should be fun! Will Cody go full-blown Homelander like we all want? Will Seth finally go away after Roman beats him with the help of the entire island of Samoa? Guess we're gonna find out this weekend! Stay tuned next week for a more traditional episode of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks!" For now though... courage. - "Clerks: The Animated Series"

  • Oba? Is that you?
    It's episode 133 and your goto trio, once you've listened to all the other wrestling pods, is here to bring you the week in wrestling, some MMA, and some Football (Soccer to us Yanks). This week Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now) bring you the latest and greatest? in the world of wrasslin!
    With Saturday Night's Main Event on the horizon (this weekend) to give us matches we are on the fence about leading into Summerslam in roughly two weeks, we dissect the build coming from Smackdown and Raw. Oba Femi cuts the best promo of his career that even popped Gringo. Solo Sikoa has a weird face turn, but will it last? Cody Rhodes could be on the verge of going full Homelander Cody, which we've all been clamoring for. Will the Rock flop his way back into the picture after the Moana tank? Will TKO please continue to leave AAA alone and not attempt to incorporate it further onto the main shows? Who's the damn heel? Roman or Seth? Who did Bron Breakker piss off at TK-No? Why is Lyra Valkyria only half a strung out sea hag? Who the hell knows? We sure don't, but we're going to make all of the assessments and bad takes we can to get us there! Oh yeah... We also dissect the first two Season 7 episodes of Dark Side of the Ring. 7 Seasons??? Wow! They're practically a lady! That makes no sense, but f*** it. Who cares?

  • CM Punked
    With Turtleneck at a concert, Episode 132 is being helmed by Kenny Romero and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico. It was a weak week of wrestling with CM Punk getting a Chicago made TKO t-shirt selling title shot against the 9 day champion of Sami Zayn. We have reservations about this booking decision, brother. The guys stay fairly wrestling focused discussing the upcoming Summerslam card, the Aldis/Gunther/Pierce love triangle, the week in wrestling including TNA, AEW, and WWE. This week's Dynamite will shape what's to come with AEW's flagship PPV, All In... if you didn't already have it beat into your skull it's at Wembley. Will Jericho beat Ciampa and will Kenny Omega win the AEW World Heavyweight Championship from MJF? We don't know but we'll make assessments. TNA had an interesting 6 man X-Division #1 contender's match featuring Fabian Aichner (Giovanni Vinci), while Nic Nemeth shows his true colors to KC Navarro. Maxine Dupree is finally interesting making a championship impact on RAW. Why wasn't Lyra on Raw again after pummeling Bayley. Who knows? I know TKO has no clue. Anywho, check our hot takes and hope Gringo doesn't have a damn heart attack from the hate stress.

  • A Slightly Inconvenient Door and a 1pm of Champions
    After a week hiatus so they could all actually be in the same place at the same time, the guys are back with more hot takes, stupid humor, and wild tangents! Night of Champions and Forbidden Door happened this weekend alongside Slammiversary, AAA, MLW, the second coming of King Harley Race in the form of the spectacular Trevor Murdoch in NWA. The Saudis finally got the champion they've been clamoring for in Sami Zayn, while Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland decided to break out the blades. There was a crazy 6 on 6 cage match on Forbidden Door while WWE gave us... two King of the Ring victories that were completely pointless in the end and some young talent taking the L's for no logical reason. AEW served up several spectacular matches that ran just under two hours prior to the witching hour. (Make your matches shorter, Tony! Some of us are old!) All in all, not a bad weekend of wrestling and our pal Nic Nemeth got to shine becoming the new TNA World Champ! Anywho, there's a lot of headlines, quite a few headlocks, and infinite hijinks on this week's episode!

  • Unintentional Comedy Writing
    It's Episode 130 and your trio of Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and Rec Center TV) are back with a vengeance just like Die Hard 3! It was a bit of a lackluster week in wrestling and the guys are here to talk about movies along with the wrestling to fill the void. King of the Ring's booking mixed with writing so terrible it has become comical (unintentionally) and difficult to even be angry with. Liv is in a tournament to fight herself. The only thing that could've made it interesting was nixed for another rematch that no one really cares about... especially the live RAW crowd who literally were dead... but piped in audio from the production team made us think differently. Roman Reigns talks for entirely too long after standing and doing nothing for entirely too long. LA Knight gets snubbed again because... JEY USO! Please make it stop! Join the guys for another week of ridiculous! It'll get better, right? At least AAA and MLW exist. AEW also. TOURNAMENTS MEAN NOTHING IF THEY AREN'T DONE ON THE SAME DAMN NIGHT!!!!

  • A Not So Grande Week in Wrestling
    Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" jaded luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on RecCenterTV.com and Troma Now) are back this week a little later than usual because Gringo decided to take his family on vacation. Wrestling happened. Smackdown was the normal. Raw was worse than normal. MLW and AEW were great! AAA fumbled to capitalize on one of the greatest wrestling events of the past 25 years. Fantastico is shocked by Jason's hatred for Andrade's new gimmicky saying. He apparently does not "know." The team talks the week's headlines in wrestling while Gringo continuously mourns mainstream professional wrestling. It is what it is and it's Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks.

  • El Grande Weekend of Wrestling!
    It's episode 128 and time for your pals Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and Rec Center TV) to break down the ridiculously expansive weekend full of wrestling. From MLW to a Clash in Italy to one of the best events with one of the best matches of the past two decades south of the border (AAA's Noche de los Grandes) and Monday Night Raw, the trio covers as much as they care to. Gringo goes on several rants about gremlins, backdoors, obsessions, and whatever the hell crazy noise fills his brain. The guys also answer fan mail, give their bar fight group choices, talk all kinds of hijinks and deliver the headlines of the week! It's ridiculous. It's over the top. It's Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks!

  • The Winds of Change
    AEW Double or Nothing took us to the "magic of the moment." Does that signify that the "winds of change" are coming? Maybe, maybe not. But one could say that arena was on fire... not quite like a Great White concert. Most people who just read that joke would See Red, but regardless of what us Damn Yankees think, there was a lot of wrestling to talk about from this past weekend. From the aforementioned Double or Nothing to Saturday Night's Main Event to AAA and NWA and the following Monday Night Raw, things are getting busy for professional wrestling. Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and Rec Center TV) discuss the crazy Memorial Day weekend of wrestling and the upcoming next crazy weekend of wrestling. Double or Nothing was fantastic. Saturday Night's Main Event was okay. AAA was great. NWA was a lot of fun. The trio dives into all of it for yours and their own venting pleasures and give their picks on the upcoming AAA Noche de Los Grandes, Clash in Italy, and the fallout of Double or Nothing!

  • Do Turkish Hairplugs Grow Back? (That sounds like a Giallo film)
    Episode 126! Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disaterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and RecCenterTV.com) are here to bring you the ins and outs of the week in wrestling and the VERY long next two weekends to come! AAA is on the horizon with one of its most interesting matches that RAW can't handle. Double or Nothing is coming up this weekend! Will Jericho's team fight in a football stadium or is it just a ceremonial name? WWE is holding Saturday Night's Main Event this Saturday and Clash in Italy next Saturday. There's wrestling all around which means the Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks are here to give you all the hot and terrible takes you can handle. Will MJF keep his hairplugs? Will Darby Allin survive? (No, Seriously. We are legitimately concerned about his well-being.) Will Saturday Night's Main Event be worth our time? We hope so. All in all it's going to be a fun weekend of wrestling from both promotions! Yay! Wrasslin!
