Tunnel Talk

Thank GOD we're out of Forbidden Door season because Tony Khan showed back up ready to Reagan! And Kenny Omega? We saw him on TV more this week than we have in years! He had a big emotional journey, from telling Will Ospreay that he loves him to deciding whether to wager it all on The Hangman Stipulation for a title shot next week, while his doting Young Bucks tried not to fight about what he...

Forbidden Door Season swings to a close, and Kyle O'Reilly is LOCKING it behind him. We cover all the goings-on with the newly formed DCMJF family and the Conglomeration, and Swerve and Ospreay's sexy stare-offs. We finally admit there might be some issues in the sexy Death Riders training story, and extensively laud what Mercedes, Athena, and Maya World are up to. Plus, the Dogs are cover...

We’re still deep in Forbidden Door season, but thank God TK didn’t leave us in the doldrums of last week and we DO seem to be building some storylines again! Kenny showed up to work and revealed his plan to get back on top: fighting Zack Sabre Jr…? Huh. Love to see you though, Ken! Thekla’s the only one absolutely killing it with a Forbidden Door storyline, but she’s working hard enough for ten me...

It's Forbidden Door season and you know what that means: they are NOT our favorite episodes of Dynamite. Tony's really gathered up some dregs for storylines, and is Zack Sabre Jr the only guy left at NJPW? But at least Mox is still hamming his heart out, Will Ospreay is the most hapless little doof on Earth, and Mercedes is back! Plus, Ciampa and Jericho: is the way they see each other the...

It's a sleepy little float down a lazy river at AEW this week, but you KNOW your girls make their own fun. First, we check in on the Men's Title Scene which Mark Briscoe is part of now. Sure! Kevin Knight and Speedball had their Divorce Match which sort of underwhelmed us, but don't worry, we had some great ideas for how they could spice it up. Plus, Tony got scared of how mad we were...

It’s our post-Double or Nothing episode and you’ll never BELIEVE the quality of the opinions you’ll hear from us: that’s right, they’re bad. Think of someone with good taste, someone the IWC would like and respect, and then reverse those opinions! We’re pervert perverts, not moves perverts, and we WON’T apologize. Anyway, we take you through what we loved, what we hated, what we snoozed to and wha...

We’re back and we’ve got Double or Nothing Senioritis baybee! We learn some new pertinent facts about Darby’s corporate BDSM contract with Tony, Chantilly Lace Thighs Kylo Reilly has got Mox’s number, Cope finally gives the girls what they want, and Jericho should become a lighthouse keeper. Also we saw Swerve’s butt. Hey everyone? Gratitude moment. (0:00) Chit Chat Time (12:22) Men’s Title Scene!...

It was a somewhat boring week in AEW, but don't you worry, we found things to discuss! There's Darby's title reign (which rules) and his beautiful insistence on MJF offering up his hair plugs as collateral for a title shot. We popped 30 boners over Moxley's seduction of Will Ospreay (that's right: ten each), and after horning out for awhile you can hear us painfully, carefully...

Big Anne was taken of commission this week, and so Friend of the Pod Mike Meginnis stepped in to save the day! There was a lot to cover this week--Darby came down from the sky like the itsy-bitsy spider, Shida's causing trouble, The Tag Team Street Fight Retirement I Quit Match is insanely overegged, and Mox and Ospreay were getting into stufff so demented we needed new vocabulary. Did we lose...

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! (00:00) Chitchat...

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 co...

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! (0:00) Chit c...

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 ag...

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 r...

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 C...

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...

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...

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 n...

The girls are back in town! That’s right, FINALLY all three Tunnel Talkettes are reunited and it feels sooooo good. Let’s get this car OFF the rails already! And it was a crazy week, with multiple unexpected title changes for us to work through. We get back in the swing of things with a discussion of the men’s world title scene* and how Kenny and Swerve are going about their feud. From that big ne...

Listeners, as of recording, Allie was still stranded on the East Coast, so Anne and Lea bravely carried on, serving as two legs of a stool, barely balanced on a hope and a dream. Hell yeah! Mister New Man Ciampa has a belt now thanks to the support of the fans. What fans? The ones who watched NXT, I guess. Darby’s experiencing exquisite agonies at the hands of our newest NJPW pals who may or may n...

Allie’s still in exile, but Lea and Anne have intrepidly brought the podcast back anyway, and frankly we should all applaud their bravery in these difficult times! We brought on our friend Mike for a catchup/amnesty episode to bring us up to speed on all the AEW fun that we’ve missed, from Jon Moxley’s Grindset Influencing to the pleasures of watching two big men cheerfully yell. That’s right, we...

It’s our final podcast of 2025! And what a way to go out. We do a deep dive into MJF’s return and his returning promo, which we did not find to be successful. Then we get into the Connie and all the men’s emotions in their pretty good post-match promos! The Elite and the DCF also had a very fun match and we talk about how we’ll all get old someday, so that’s pretty normal and cool. And finally, we...

It's our penultimate episode before Christmas break, and the girls show up tipsy and distractable. After an extra-long chitchat section, we finally get down to business and dig into Swerve and Hangman's sexy new partnership and the eternal cockblock that is Josh Alexander. Plus the Women's Tag Team tournament finally crowned their winners and we were NOT expecting the result! Then it&#...

We’re back from Thanksgiving break and frankly? We had a lot pent up that we needed to get out! From accidentally implying new kinks that make everyone uncomfortable to an expansion of our rich ham-based world, we go into hysterics for many, many very stupid reasons. In between, we talk through a weird, slightly-off episode of Dynamite, make up a few rumors we’re hoping make their way back to Dave...
