Sweet Talk

today, me and nyia talk about a polarizing and beloved figure: mister sethtopher freakin' rollins.

so..........what's up? 

(a discussion on when and why you should step away from the things you love sometimes)

Hello all, we're once again bringing y'all a special episode with the one and only Nyia! Y'all heard her last week discussing misogynoir in wrestling, the Sasha-Bianca main event, and more, and today we sat down and talked about her personal life, her professional goals, and shouted out Timothy Thatcher a record number of times. 

Nyia truly is a bright star in the big sky of wrestling's future and I could not be more proud or happy to host her on this platform and to give her an opportunity to talk in-depth about what she sees for her wrestling career. You can find and follow Nyia on Twitter and Instagram at NYIARULES, and on Tumblr at nianotjax. 

Thank you to everyone who takes the time out of their day to support not only this podcast but all future wrestlers. 

Howdy y'all! 

I'm very proud to say that this episode of Sweet Talk features a dear to my heart guest, Nyia! Y'all can find her @NYIARULES on Twitter and Instagram, and @nianotjax on Tumblr! She's a dear friend of mine and a young wrestler-in-training with an incredible mind for the wrestling industry. I hope to have her on many times in the future, with the knowledge that she's soon to be a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

I asked Nyia to do this episode with me because she, as a black woman training to be a wrestler, has a front row seat to how race and misogyny function in wrestling, and that's exactly what we talk about here, prompted by the recent hashtags and social movements surrounding the Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks Wrestlemania main event. We end up dipping into a few other issues too, including hyping up Mustafa Ali and how the treatment of trans people in wrestling is comparable to the treatment of black people.

This is a bit of a doozy at 2 hours and 43 minutes, but I promise it's worth every second to hear Nyia's phenomenally intelligent thoughts and takes on the subject at hand, and my terrible jokes.

Imperium-Ciampa reaction, Fastlane match-by-match review, the move to Peacock, and Andrade's release; there's a lot to talk about in this episode of Sweet Talk. The world keeps turning, I'm getting vaccinated today (barring catastrophe), and WWE has been running the gamut on 'what can we do to stay in the news cycle as much as possible leading up to Wrestlemania?' 

I hope y'all're all having a wonderful Monday!

Howdy, everyone. 

Been....a bit of a bad time personally. I'm over it. I'm back. Here's some things I'm excited about in WWE. 

Howdy, y'all! Two for one special at Sweet Talk tonight because I woke myself up with a damn idea. 

The Shawn-Razor match was actually August 1st, 1994. Please forgive my lack of coherent date recollection. I'm very tired.

Howdy, y'all. Bit of a downer episode if you ask me. I spend about 20 minutes talking about how no one remembers what a burial actually is in wrestling, and then, spurred by last Wednesday's events, I talk about how wrestling can bring us trauma as fans. 

It's a bit of a doozy. 

Also, the Drew Mcintyre-Cedric Alexander match was apparently from August 19th, 2019, so not *quite* as far back in the year as I remembered. 

Howdy! Welcome to the first episode of Honey's Happy Hour, where my alcoholic ass drinks whiskey and talks about the PPV/Takeover from the night before. The first edition happens to be about NXT Takeover: Vengeance Day. And what a day it was. 

Howdy! Welcome to the first episode of Sweet Talk with Honey Rodgers. Unfortunately for the sound quality i recorded this laying in bed after procrastinating...way too long. In today's episode, I give a short introduction of lil queer self, and then move into the main topics: Timothy Thatcher and some glowing praise for him and his work, and that as a bridge into subjectivity in the wrestling fandom and how people can approach it in a healthier, happier way, including why it's okay to disengage instead of debating. 

I hope y'all forgive my nerves, as they're very present in this first episode, and the roughness of my voice. Happy Valentine's Day!
