Surprise! The pod’s out early because otherwise we’d have another lame duck podcast situation on our hands. Listen to our takes quick, before WrestleDream makes them all obsolete! We discuss the Moxley vs. Danielson feud and what parts of himself Bryan Danielson may not be comfortable with, plus Darby’s manic-guy-on-bus energy and the difference between a good promo and an entertaining promo. Also Danny Garcia isn’t leaving! The women’s division might be backsliding! And you won’t predict who we talk about doing the wettest of kissing. Seriously — take a guess right now and see how that turns out. Welcome to Tunnel Talk!

The AEW/WBD deal has been signed and your girls are breaking down all the details--the equity stakes, the YOY implications and more. Join us for a rousing fiscal analysis conversation as we--lmao, can you even imagine? What a goof. No, we talked about the normal stuff, like whether Claudio is tailoring his shirts for better boob contouring. We know our niche!

Big announcement: Tunnel Talk has merch now at chopped-tees.com! Go pick some up quick! Here!

This week we delivered what I would call a "normal" episode. We graciously allow the ROHheads to have their fun with Nigel/Danielson, we talk through Mox and Darby, we celebrate the Young Bucks and their good match and their mind-blowing sartorial choices. Mariah and Mina are giving us the lesbian drama we so crave, and don't worry, we definitely somehow got distracted talking about James FitzJames and the Terror for like 20 minutes as we filibuster the ending of our own podcast.

It's the fourth installment of our From the Reviews series! If you give us a 5* review on any platform and shoot us a message with a request, we'll watch whatever match you ask and record ourselves watching it! In this episode we watched:

(00:00) Intro

(01:58) Go Shiozaki vs Katsuhiko Nakajima (requested by @Manu_Niite on twitter)

(36:31) Jamie Hayter vs Roxxy (requested by Chris Gannon)

(59:27) Nick Gage vs. Matt Cardona (requested by Eric Sunderman)

(1:36:13) Shibata vs Akiyama (requested by @black_urn on twitter)

Every Sunday, Tunnel Talk triumphantly publishes an episode we’re proud of and worked hard on. This week, we decided to do something a little different. This episode is not good. The girls incoherently discussed the developments in the BCC, tried valiantly to make any sense at all while covering Mariah and Mina, absolutely misremembered half of the Elite storylines, and I think somehow lurched through vague thoughts on Ricochet, Hangman, and OC. Look, we’re allowed to have bad weeks. Just skip this one.

The girls were exhausted this week but brought a real Friday night party energy to the pod, where we could NOT stop from circling back on our billionaire vanity project, a wrestling promotion that shows only at our very special and VERY popular gas station. So that’s fun. We also talk through what makes for a sexy storyline (and it’s NOT copying what other people are doing) as we review the highs and lows of All Out. Swerve and Hangman were soooooo violent and sooooo sexy, Mox was sooooo violent and sooooo sexy, Willow and Kris were — well, you get it. Yeah, we like the sexy murder pay-per-view for freaks!

(1:27:01) The Continental Conglomeration

(1:42:01) Mariah and Mina

The girls are back together and JUST in time as Hangman burns down Swerve’s house in the most romantic way we’ve ever seen. Not to be outdone, Mox shows up and sexually rewires little Jack Perry, and we overheated about it.  Plus MJF’s turkey hair was NOT worth his money, Okada’s Continental Congress better yield some fun results, Matt Jackson took down his lovely hair for us, and we’re starting a wrestling company that airs only on gas station pumps. Enjoy!

(1:17:15) Binders full of women

Anne is out this week, and we had our bestie James Boyd help us tackle the electric events of last weekend’s All In and this week’s abrupt lurch towards All Out. Our cold, drizzly, British summer has given way to the SEXIEST autumn imaginable as Swerve finishes up his feud with Danielson and immediately admits to sitting outside Hangman’s house for hours just to get a glimpse. Who’s doing it like them?  Plus Mox is home from his long voyage on the seas ransacking royal navy ships, Ricochet goes here now, and we guess Dax Harwood is better than Hitler. It’s a good one!

(1:27:23) the State of the Women’s Division

(1:43:13) The Bucks and Grizzled Young Vets

It’s a punchy one this week as the girls discuss the run up to All In! What a strange and inadequate build most of these matches have had. We get into what worked and what didn’t with MJF and Ospreay, and big ditto for Bryan Danielson and Swerve. Heel patriotism, MJF? During the summer of the Olympics and the newly revitalized DNC?!? Bad timing, brother. And otherwise, what don’t we talk about? The Hangman interview, a BTE obituary, a wrestling game where you lose health points as you try to convince your stars to lose matches, and of course, Minnesota senior senator Amy Klobuchar.

It was an enjoyable week of wrestling and BOY, does that go a long way when it comes to our tolerance for nonsense! Which Bryan Danielson is still mostly providing on the main event scene, but we felt more charitable towards it this week and hey: he tried. (Sort of.) But Swerve is doing the work all by himself, and you know what else we got to see? Mercedes and Shida, opening Dynamite! Mariah May cutting a promo that’s an all-timer! The Young Bucks, wrestling! Finally, some treats for girls!!
