Step into the Gobbeldy-verse on a brand new bonus Tights and Fights!
The Gobbeldy Gooker was one of the worst things Vince McMahon ever conceived.
It was famed wrestler Hector Guerrero in a turkey costume that hatched from an egg at Survivor Series 1990 after months of build up.
It was maintained as a sort of inside joke for WWE fans for years. But now that we’re in the post-Vince era, it seems to be put to rest. Hopefully.

Producer Julian Burrell has collected three of the best segments from the show’s archives for your enjoyment.
Misandry Corner
Danielle Radford leads the team to discuss some of the sexist history of wrestling’s past. In this inaugural edition of the segment, the spotlight is on WWE’s most sordid Diva’s moments: a water balloon wet T-Shirt contest. How terrible was this? And which men would we like to see recast in it?
My Special Wrestler
Comic Creator Box Brown joins the program to discuss one of the greatest heels of all time: Ravishing Rick Rude.
Ring Tones
Comedian Hannibal Buress joins the program to discuss the music of Triple H. This will include every phase of his career from his time as Hunter Hearst Healmsley to his joining DX to becoming the cerebral assassin to his modern day role as the WWE’s chief executive of talent relations.
Hosted by Julian Burrell, Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Mike Eagle.

Wrestling is overtly incredibly fascinating as we’ve always known on Tights and Fights!
Alex Schmidt is one of the hosts of the MaxFun podcasts “Secretly Incredibly Fascinating.” Recently they had a podcast breaking down the history of wrestling as an actual competition. So naturally we had to invite him on to teach him about the flip side: Cut the kayfabe!
Main Event
On "Secretly Incredibly Fascinating,” Alex and his co-host Katie Schmidt broke down the history of Sumo wrestling. And one thing about sumo is that Vince McMahon would happily find a way to represent the competition in some really great and really awful ways.
The Three Count
Lindsey and Danielle put over Mick Foley endorsing Kamala Harris.
Julian put over Living United for Change in Arizona.
Hosted by Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk
Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

We mourn Samantha Irvin’s departure from WWE on this episode of Tights and Fights!
She was set up to be an all-time great in the company. But now she’s off to pursue her dreams, to WWE’s detriment.In another piece of news: The Intercontinental Title has seemingly been reduced to a prop in the Bloodline conflict. And the person who’s suffered is Bron Breakker. In good news, he’s now a two time IC champion. So hopefully this aligns itself despite everything
Main Event
The intersection of horror and wrestling is a long and storied one. James A. Janisse from the YouTube show “The Kill Count” discuss some of the biggest wrestlers that dipped into the macabre including The Boogeyman, Bray Wyatt, Papa Shango and more. Spin the wheel, make the deal!
The Three Count
Lindsey put over the Damian and Kayden.
Danielle put over The Studline fashion choices.
Hal put over Lin Manuel Miranda being a total mark.

Farewell, sweet American Dragon. We celebrate you on this episode of Tights and Fights!
After a brief detour into the Kelce bros. Cereal (Hey, Jason was at WrestleMania, this counts!) We salute the full-time retirement of Bryan Danielson.
Then, we revisit a bit of episode 365, where we were joined by Janet Varney. Together, we listened to all of The American Dragon’s entrance music from over the years in our beloved Ring Tones segment.
The Three Count
Lindsey put over the ladies of RAW dominating the run-time.
Julian put over Joe Hendry competing for Eurovision.
Hal put over couples wrestling.

Let there be blood and let it be less than good on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have wrapped up the final match in their rivalry that began in January. And what a way to close it out, with one of the best Hell in a Cell matches in recent memory.
But that leaves us with the time of year when WWE feels the most messy: Bron Breakker can’t settle on whether he’s a heel or a face, we’re back to one women’s match on RAW, the Saudi show is on the horizon… and we only have two hours every Monday to get it all sorted!
The Three Count
Danielle put over Punk’s upcoming triple threat.
Lindsey put over polite Solo .
Hal put over The creators of the Cosco-verse.

We lay claim to the title of hoss bosses on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!
But before we can dive into that tantalizing main event: Is WWE moving too fast with its push of Bron Breakker after his apparent face turn on RAW?
And speaking of babyfaces, is it time for Naomi, Jade and Bianca to embrace the dark side? Or at least two out of the three of them?
The Main Event: Big Boi SZN
After Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed had a Last Monster Standing match, we're going to celebrate some of our favorite wrestling HOSSES of all time. Plus we’ll decide how to classify the big men and women of wrestling into the categories of Hoss/She-Hoss, big guys, attractions, and who works across multiple planes.
The Three Count
Danielle put over Toni Storm’s love affair.
Lindsey put over John Cena on the Simpsons.
Hal put over CM Punk mastering call backs.
Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk
Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
Our dreams are finally coming true in a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!
We’ve joked about the idea of Dominik Mysterio on a pole for over a year. And now we get Dom Dom in a cage suspended over the ring for Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan. Might that be even better?
Plus Jey Uso has won his first ever solo title in WWE. So was this a great moment to give a crowd favorite who was overdue for gold? Or was it cutting Bron Breakker’s momentum off before he could really get going? We discuss.
YEET!
The Main Event: Mr. McMahon
Netflix's documentary on Vince McMahon is streaming now. It features interviews from the man himself along with other WWE stars. And if Vince's statement is any indication you can expect a not-too-flattering look at wrestling's most influential monster.
Special thanks to Netflix for providing us with screeners.
The Three Count
Danielle put over Rhea feeling the yeet.
Lindsey put over Pancho 3:16.
Hal put over Bret Hart kicking a man in the Shnutz.

Just one week removed from three dudes we’re turning the corner for TWO DUDETTES on a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!
Roman Reigns will have his first match in months at the Bad Blood PLE, this time teaming with Cody Rhodes against his rogue family, the New Bloodline. Lindsey and Danielle will explain why they’re prepared for Roman to lose.
And has WWE finally figured out how to make Braun Strowman interesting again? This feud with Big Bronson Reed could get us there!
All that… and Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair was a fun time. Because of course it was!
The Main Event: Hell in a Cell Renaissance
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre will cap off their rivalry in one of Triple H’s favorite matches: Hell in a Cell. For years it was the ultimate final match in an intense feud before Vince decided the match needed to be its own PPV no matter what feud actually deserved it. But now that Vince is out and Hunter is in that is finally changing.
The Three Count
Danielle put over Megan Thee Stallion making fans cranky.
Lindsey put over Damian Priests 24.

Dimitry Pompée from the wonderful podcast “Eurovangelists” and producer Julian Burrell join Hal for the rare THREE DUDES episode of Tights and Fights!
It’s a big time for change in WWE… Smackdown has moved to USA Network. And perhaps even more intriguing… RAW may move to two hours soon.
This is all happening as the card for Bad Blood on Peacock is being filled out with the finale of the Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk, Gunther vs. Sami Zayn 2 for the World Heavyweight Championship and Jey Usos competing for the Intercontinental Championship.
The Main Event: ALL RISE… FOR THE JUDGMENT DAY!
In 2022 Edge debuted a new look that helped launch his new faction The Judgment Day. Since then the group has added members, kicked out others and raised the profile of everyone in purple and black.
The Three Count
Julian put over R-Truth NSFW (really).
Dimitry put over Joe Hendry on Eurovision???.
Hal put over Dave Bautista puppy interview.
Hosted by Hal Lublin, Julian Burrell and Dimitry Pompée.

The only saving grace of this show is Mike Eagle. He's just himself, not trying to make issues where therearent any. The rest of the cast is too full of themselves.
