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.

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.

Tap those lights for a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!
Bash in Berlin was a fun show that gave us a lot to love. Gunther and Cody Rhodes expectantly retained their championships, but in a way that still gave us a lot to chew on for their futures.
Despite seemingly convoluted rules on paper, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre turned in a really fun strap match with a fun twist that we hope is replicated.
And one sore subject persists: with Jade and Bianca once again winning the tag team titles, is there any hope that that division will eventually be reoriented?
The Three Count
Danielle put over Terror Twin Nuggiez.
Lindsey put over Sons of El Rey by Alex Espinoza.
Hal put over Cat Dad Steve Austin.

This episode of Tights and Fights is part of a long and proud legacy of wrestling podcasts.
It’s Bash in Berlin weekend! The first WWE event live from Germany already has a fantastic Main Event lined up with Gunther vs. Randy Orton. So how do we feel about humble and “grateful for his long career” Randy? Not great!
In addition to breaking down the other matches on the card, we’ll discuss what’s becoming a trend in the Triple H era: 5 match cards for the PLEs. Is it a move for the best or are there too many missing elements on the shows nowadays?
The Main Event: Nepobabies, we make our dreams come true
Wrestling is the only place where Nepo Baby is a badge of honor. You can even call them a "second/third generation superstar" if you're feelin' nasty. And now that we're in our family wars era of WWE, we thought we'd take a look at some of our favorite legacy stars from over the years.
The Three Count
Danielle put over ASMR- the Montreal Screwjob.
Lindsey put over The Tsunami to end all Tsunamis.
Hal put over legendary-wrestlers-cause-of-death-revealed.html">The death of Psycho Sid Vicious.

All episodes of Tights and Fights are streaming now– including this one!
Roman Reigns briefly regained the most sought after jewelry in all of wrestling (narrowly surpassing CM Punk’s bracelet); but he was quickly taken out by Solo Sikoa’s crew. But let’s get to the real point: Would our cousins oust us from the family in the name of power?
Plus, The Unholy Union retained the women’s tag team championships– but is this a good sign of the women’s tag titles becoming a true marquee item in the company?
The Main Event: RAW on Netflix
When RAW moves to Netflix, it will be the most significant step away from traditional broadcasting in WWE. There have been so many steps along the way for WWE from YouTube to Hulu, to the Network to Peacock,

It’s an almighty episode of Tights and Fights!
WWE has struggled to establish women’s tag titles as a true attraction. Now they’re having a tournament for the number one contendership with several promising teams in the mix. But will any of them be able to solve the larger problems that have prevented women’s tag teams from reaching new heights?
Plus, while a feud with Randy Orton can doom a young champion, we’ll explain why we’re actually really excited for his match against Gunther.
And with John Cena’s retirement looming large we speculate about how he could put over a lot of great young talent… and still win that elusive 17th world championship.
The Main Event: Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley has been successful both at the tail end of the Ruthless Aggression era and in the modern era. A multiple time champion in WWE and TNA who even had time to fight in MMA for a few years. Now he supposedly plans to leave WWE so who knows what the future may hold.
The Three Count
Danielle put over No Hard Feelings about wrestling.
Lindsey put over Jesse Ventura being extra vocal about dummies.

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.
