Headlock Talk

What's going on you guys?! Long time no see...

So, this is it. The Last Dance. At 8:39pm EST/ 7:39pm CST on August 12th 2022, Tanner and Stephen came to a mutual and full agreement: to do one last episode of Headlock Talk.

We're sure you have a questions, and we have answers... and a lot of catching up to do.

That said, on this episode of Headlock Talk, we tackle the current state of pro wrestling: a fair but critical look at WWE, AEW, ROH, and NJPW. We also take Wrestling Twitter to task a bit, because, well, they deserve it.

We examine Vince McMahon's retirement, Tony Khan's talent recruitment and Okada's G1 win.

We also answer listener questions and HOT TAKES from Twitter!

So strap in for one last ride, it's a wild one! The Last Dance.

Thank you guys for all of your years of love and support. Thank you for every like, retweet, download, and listen. You filled our hearts with such love and joy and it's been a Hell of a ride. We truly love you all.
