This week on Tunnel Talk we discuss, first and foremost, the total and complete meltdown we had when we thought Best Friends was breaking up, which sort of derailed our viewing of the rest of Dynamite this week. But we bravely soldiered on! It was quite a little fever dream of a week at AEW, with MJF's public flogging of Wardlow, William Regal revealing that he nonconsensually sticks other wrestler's toothbrushes up his bottom, and Serena Deeb declaring she got a boob job for this sport... just a reminder, this all airs on basic cable every single week, and is VERY normal. We also discuss Ricky Starks' outfit, Matt Jackson's split ends, and all the other top serious wrestling topics you can think of — for instance, does Jeff Hardy paint his face like that so that Matt Hardy can stay the hot one? You be the judge!

AEW was in Long Island this week, and we cover an important tournament going on! The Owen Hart Tournament? No, this is one in our hearts, and it’s the stiff competition for the Damon Salvatore Mommy’s Little Ham Award for Boys. But we cover that first one too: Jamie Hayter and Toni Storm had their quarterfinals match, and once again we must confront the dichotomy of “good wrestlers” vs wrestlers who can do good promos. Next, tune in to find out if our hearts are softening towards FTR. Then it was Darby vs Jeff Hardy and our hearts are big-time soft for this. Hookhausen! Hookhausen! Hookhausen! Plus: CM Punk Mean-Girling Hangman, Eddie Kingston’s wife of 20 years, and much more.

MAGNETS: 

It's another week here at Tunnel Talk and what a weeky week it's been! Beautiful Angel Hangman has come out of the gate foaming at the mouth and we could potentially be into it. Serena Deeb had shockingly interesting energy in her promo with Thunder Rosa. Is this the beginning of our journey to becoming big Deebheads? Plus Bobby Fish (time traveller from the 1940s) fought Jeff Hardy (time traveller from a furry convention from the 80s) and our loyalties were split. Still, friendship prevailed and we sail on! Hey, we're selling magnets now, and they DEFINITELY stick to your fridge. Check our socials for more info!

It's SPRING BREAK and another exciting week on Tunnel Talk, where we discuss whether we've done a 360 or a 180 on Jade -- the consensus is that it must be a 180, because we love her now. We also get into the excitement of Christian Cage going full disappointed-dad on Jungle Boy, whether Ricky Starks and Will Hobbs should take the tag team belts (yes, obviously, you big dumb bitch), and the fun of Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland finally having a promo together. Do they have a Paris Salon where they discuss art and literature? In Allie's head they do. Jamie Hayter and Toni Storm do yet another of their patented terrible promos, still terrible no matter how many other women are added to the mix, and we continue to swim against the FTR zeitgeist by thinking they're garbage no matter HOW much they tell us they're in love. Also did you know that they're 34 and 37 years old??? All this, Shida's hot new outfit, Daniel Garcia's desperate quest for Eddie Kingston's attention, Scorpio taking the TNT title back, and much more!

Kyle O’Reilly fought Jungle Boy this week, and we think you’ll agree that all of us have normal reactions to it and Kyle is a perfect rat boy. Then, Adam Cole fought Hangman in their big Texas Death Match—it was a banger, as is Hangman’s ongoing character work both in-ring and out. We also cover Dustin Rhodes vs CM Punk; Tony Khan’s latest big announcement; the Bucks: depressed now; Thunder Rosa vs Nyla and Sammy vs Scorpio Sky on Battle of the Belts, and much more!

Big Yoots finally got the fatherly handshake of approval and the strict parenting he’s been craving, and good for him. Wardlow didn’t get the MJF beatdown he’s been craving but we sure laughed our way through that segment so also good for him. The foursome of Swerve, Keith Lee, Ricky Starks and Hobbs continue to show the rest of the roster what cool is, and guys? Take note, please. Plus we’re very impressed with our two new women, and we finish up with another chaotic game of Plan That Date. Y’all into the Roosh?

This week AEW was in Boston, and Lea was there to give us some on the scene reporting! Should she have been allowed so close to the ring when it was only last week that she enthusiastically opted to kill Matt Jackson? Probably no, but we couldn't stop her. We discuss whether we've been infected by the FTR bug that's hit the rest of the internet (absolutely not), and how we feel about Christian Cage after having been reminded he exists (horny... at least Anne is). We also talk through Wheeler's storyline with Best Friends, the crowd's reactions to Sammy and Tay who are ABSOLUTELY becoming heels through their horrible couple behavior, and how much more fun Jade has gotten lately. All that plus Julia Hart's oncoming delightful demonic cheerleader angle and whether Allie should watch Austin Powers for the first time in 2022! 

It’s been a week, and this week we start off by checking in on the MJF/Wardlow feud and associated goings on in the Pinnacle. Then: reDRagon delight us; we get into some Marko Stunt contract talk; and, at long last, we have a very sexy match to discuss from little Yuta, who fought Danielson this week. We also cover Mox vs Lethal, Eddie vs the Jericho Appreciation Society, Max Caster vs CM Punk, Nyla vs Thunder Rosa, and much more. Plus a hair talk segment! And we wrap up with a game of FMK — listener discretion advised, mostly because of the K. 

It’s a loose one this week and we weren’t even on the bubbly! There were a lot of strange matchups to cover, and we tried our best to make sense of them. From fantasy booking Julia Hart and Kris Statlander joining the Blackpool Combat Club to debating whether reDRagon is emotionally ready for the responsibility of the belts. There were things we liked (Swerve hitting on Ricky! Max Caster getting thrown around like a twink!) and things we didn’t (Vicky’s gross promo! The…belt fluids…) We get into all this and more on Tunnel Talk!

This week we celebrate one full year of Tunnel Talk! That's right, it's our podcast-iversary -- you'd think that after a whole year of podcasting we'd know all kinds of wrestling stuff, but if there's one thing we girls do? It's defy expectations. We celebrate by each downing a full bottle of Chris Jericho's vanity champagne (excuse me, "American sparkling wine") while discussing such classic topics as Kylo Riley's thighs, Chris Jericho's Costume Trunk, and whether anything looks better than old men wearing the clothes they wore as young men. Podcasting is good for our brains, like a dad taking up crosswords to ward off Alzheimer's. We also get into how in wrestling, the wicked person ALWAYS falls into their own snares, discuss how societal masculinity and femininity affect the stories wrestlers are telling, and each accuse the others of joining the Chris Jericho Appreciation Society. Happy one year of Tunnel Talk to all, and here's to another year of live wrestling shows, soliloquy analysis, and being unable to remember what we just saw five minutes ago. Cheers!
