Tunnel Talk

Tony Khan didn’t Reagan this week, but we tried to keep our spirits up anyway, even if we HAVE tipped over the “Too Many Old Men” threshold. At least quite a few people stood or posed weirdly, we got to discuss who’s a good bottom (normal wrestling term), and got to view the Death Riders spiriting Will Ospreay away to their dungeon! Plus, how many Dogs are there? We’re down a dog!

This week's Dynamite was Tunnel Talk's PERFECT episode. We saw so many perfectly absurd things, we were on the moon! From Darby's breathless sobbing promo to Kenny's Big Soliloquy to Thekla's dirtbag catcalling Renee, it was an episode meant for us! Plus Jericho's pants are bigger than the whole sky, Takeshtakada are having a blast clowning, and FTR sucks wind. What a week!

Are you ready for another Tunnel Talk episode that will be jossed mere hours after it comes out by another one of Tony Khan’s PPVs? Well, have I got the episode for you! We talk everything important in AEW running up to the show: Moxley giving us the thesis statement of a PPV about identity and self-determination; Will Ospreay’s friends who go to another school; MJF’s title reign overall and of course the State of Kenny’s Tummy. Plus, Thekla says the most evilly horny things to Lexy Nair that we’ve ever heard, our beautiful blue-eyed boy Chris Jericho is gonna have a fun feud with Ricochet, and Darby discovers interiority!

Chris Jericho is back and we REALLY needed that. Welcome home Big J! Plus Kenny and MJF had their big showdown and it was...weird, cadencewise. And DON'T talk to us about jingoism. Darby's trying to catch sight of the face of God, apparently and Mox is being beautifully condescending to Will Opsreay who just can't get it together. And Thekla? She's a lunatic. Join us!

It's the moment everyone's all been waiting for — that's right, it's the finals of the B2 BEST BODIES TOURNAMENT! But first, your girls go through the week in AEW, from MJF's cartooning to Kenny Omega's cartooning in response, from Will Ospreay's attempt at parenting Jon Moxley to Moxley's far superior attempt at parenting Ospreay. Plus, ChrisnChristian are at it again, Darby makes his case for being the most dangerous man at AEW (because he IS a danger to himself), Lio Rush has a new gimmick and is Roddy gonna turn on OC??? All this and more this week on Tunnel Talk!

It's Tunnel Talk's fifth anniversary! Can you believe we've been doing this for five years? Neither can we! With our wrestling themed cocktails in hand, we tackle Revolution and the events afterwards. Ospreay's back! Cope and Christian only have eyes for the Young Bucks! Gabe Kidd got flipped in a car! And the time of night the main event started caused the girls to have seething resentment towards Hangman and MJF. We were way over time before we even got to Week 4 of the B2 where there was a SHOCKING upset! Join us!

(2:19:48) Best Bods Week 4

It’s the week before Revolution, and we honestly went on a storyline cleanup tear—the most fun a girl can have with her clothes on. We talk through Hangman and MJF and the world title, why their press conference didn’t really work and how they could’ve done it better. We ALSO had a couple of nonsensical turns this week, with typical wrestler-pretending-for-nobody work, but don’t worry, Roddy and Ciampa, we figured out how everything you’re doing makes perfect sense. We also talk through the interpersonal dynamics of THE DOGS, whether Willow is signaling a heel turn, and whether Swerve can throw a wrench in the robust emotional health of JetSpeed. And then it’s week 3 of the Best Bodies Tournament! Tune in for results!

Great energy in this one as the girls twirl and trip through this week in wrestling! Kevin Knight teaches us a little something about charm, and we think MJF is falling for it! Tommasso Ciampa does NOT like FTR and neither does our new favorite youtuber who satisfyingly annihilated them! Hook is absolutely in charge of the Opps, and he's backstage playing Killer, Killer, Killer? A hot new game! And we have a new man, and we're split on whether to like them! PLUS it's week two of the B2, and we're thrown into a few crises! Too many riches for these girls!

(1:20:28) Best Bods Tournament!

AEW hit a lot of semi-nonsensical but mostly enjoyable beats this week, with Hangman and MJF’s weird stipulation negotiations, Swerve justifying his heel turn, and Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander continuing their weird ?? friendship question mark?? Though we might have cracked that one open with a beautiful little cloud story. And then… it’s March, and you know what that means! That’s right, it’s the inaugural week of the 2026 Best Bodies (B2) tournament! This year it’s a round robin between the top 12 bodies nominated by listeners, and BOY did we have an upset right out of the gate! Who was it? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Your girls got TRICKED into watching Grand Slam, a show where nothing actually happened, but that's okay. We're off the wall about it anyway! We discuss Hangman's similarities (or not) to MJF, Swerve's bad boy adventures, FTR aka Drip and Dribble's resentment of the beloved Young Bucks, and Yuta's Big Haircut. Plus, Hook's the head of domestic recruitment for the Opps now, and we COULDN'T be happier.

Help us build our bracket for our annual March Madness Best Bodies Tournament!
