Tights and Fights

You did it! You really really did it! 2020 is finally ending and not a moment too soon. It was the damndest year that any of us experienced and I’m sure we’re all eager or a new beginning. As usual, wrestling reflected and amplified the strangeness of real life. We saw empty arenas, thunder domes, football fields, funhouses and so much more as the setting for wrestling matches. And all of it happe...

All is merry and bright (and Tights and Fights !) In honor of the holiday season, we’re taking a pause from the wrestling chatter to discuss some of our favorite Christmas specials of all time! Everything from classics like Scrooged, to modern gems like The Christmas Chronicles to ones we’re not positive are real like Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas. Pls we’ve invited on a number of our wrestle-f...

War is hell… and hell.. IS AWESOME! It’s a new episode of Tights and Fights! We talk about everything we loved from NXT TakeOver: War Games. Io Shirai with a trashcan bomb was a gift to us all, for sure. In fact, so was just about everything from that women’s match. Plus, Johnny Gargano is a three time North American champion with a brand new faction that’s probably a Star Wars reference. When we’...

Two Teams, two cages, full heart, clear eyes, can’t lose, a partridge in a pear tree. It’s a new episode of Tights and Fights! NXT is getting ready for the latest edition of its War Games TakeOver with TWO double cage matches coming on Saturday.

Saturday was a big day, not just for the political direction of the United States, but also because AEW had the latest edition of their Full Gear PPV. There were a lot of great matches and some new champions crowned. But what stood out from the pack and really caught our attention? Here’s a hint: PAC > Shaq! Main Event The new season of Total Bellas is HERE! What better time to talk about the only...

Boy what a week. It’s one of those times where you look yourself in the mirror and ask “Does anyone even care if wrestling was on TV this week?” Answer: probably not! But let’s claw free from the darkness and talk about it anyway! Hal, Danielle and Lindsey are back to discuss a little of the wrestling that they managed to walk in the midst of such a turbulent political time. But we’re also going t...

Such Hell! Much Havoc! WWE showcased two major events this past week. Sunday was the latest edition of Hell in a Cell. This year we were lucky enough to see three really solid versions of the titular gimmick match. Roman Reigns retained his championship while Bayley and Drew lost theirs. We’ll talk about where these stories could play out from here.  Plus, NXT held Halloween Havoc on Wednesday wit...

Get on your dancin’ shoes and warm up those vocal chords! Hal and Danielle are back to talk about a whole lot of wrestling. AEW had what may have been our favorite segment from them ever: Le Dinner Debonair with MJF and Chris Jericho. They still aren’t doing right by their women’s division (as evidenced by Kenny Omega’s “Babes and Brooms” entrance), but are segments like this enough to keep us eng...

This week Hal, Danielle and Lindsey are all set to talk wars. But before we talk about a war, we have to talk about the draft!  As RAW and Smackdown switch stars. And perhaps the most significant change is Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods being drafted to RAW… without Big E! Why would WWE do this and what does it mean for our favorite trio? We have some theories. Please we’ll talk about the return o...

Take a seat at the table, anywhere you like. But not at the head! Never at the head of the table! Hal and Danielle are ready to talk about WWE’s Clash of Champions PPV.  Tons of banger matches, including a top shelf Intercontinental Title Ladder match, Asuka pulling double duty, and the sins of Randy Orton’s past coming back to haunt him. We’ll also get into the build toward NXT TakeOver 31and dis...

Get your Retribution names sorted and your family tree organized! Hal, Danielle and Lindsey discuss the debut of Slapjack, Mace and T-Bar from WWE’s masked faction. Those names are just as awkward as they sound, but we’ll try to have fun with it all the same. On the positive side, WWE has a ton of new names involved in title matches. Zelina Vega and Nikki Cross are finally getting a bigger stage f...

Hal and Lindsey are all too excited to discuss the career of one of the most underrated WWE stars of all time: Christian. He’s been a tag star, a world champion across multiple promotions and has earned the love of fans for decades. We’ll discuss everything that made him special from him breaking into the WWE as a tag star with Edge, to how he struggled to break into singles stardom to the level o...

Brush, floss, stock up on your bulk quarantine foods! Hal, Danielle and Lindsey are ready to discuss a whole lot of wrestling.

But the bigger news is that they’ll h...
