Tunnel Talk

It’s our Double or Nothing episode and the girls have a new mantra: not only are we saying what we see, but we are BELIEVING what we see, and what we believe is that Double or Nothing was for  us . Anarchy in The Arena’s comedy costumes, intergender violence, and flagpoles up the butt? For us. Toni and Mina ending in a passionate makeout? Extremely for us. Hangman and Ospreay retroactively justify...

It's our pre-PV week, and we run through the upcoming Double or Nothing card with all the build, starting with a deep dive into Ospreay and Hangman's in-ring face off and going through all the rest of the many long, odd talking segments that had Allie questioning the very nature of existence. What IS wrestling? Don't get us wrong - it was high level entertainment, from the glass doll y...

Lea’s home from her Keeping It Strong Style Excursion and has plenty to report on, some of it even correct! We try to sort out what’s going on with the Death Riders and how the Elite and Gabe Kidd fit in. Plus Hangman is making Ospreay feel SO strange, MJF and the Hurt People get 14 interminable segments, and we’re SO happy to see Mina! Plus, Nigel apologizes to Tony Schiavone and it almost takes...

The girls are thriving SO much more than last week and I think it shows. After a rousing round of What's Making Me Happy, we get into all the big events of the week, starting with Dynamite's new Sum-41 theme song. Then we talk through Hangman and Will Ospreay's promo and what went wrong with Will Ospreay's side of it, where the men's title scene is going, and whether Will Ospre...

It’s a sleepy little week over here and after the long anticipated (or dreaded) return of What’s Making Me Happy, the girls dive in. Once again, the Young Bucks were the highlight of the week as they joined Ricochet to take on the Sewer Boys in a very classic Memphis Match (we ALL know what that means). Hangman comes for our jobs  hard  with some of his comments this week, and yes we ARE threatene...

This week was another one with some low lows but that was at LEAST counterbalanced by us getting to see Matt Jackson do a nip slip and then both Bucks shirtless (!) while wrestling (!!). Hashtag blessed, God is good! All the time! Plus, enjoy listening to us try to figure out wrestling alliances from first principles, invent new jargon to explain it, and of course again talk through our new all ti...

This week, the girls experienced some of the highest highs (updates on Darby’s everest journey) and lowest lows (we refer here to the depth of Matt Jackson’s V-neck). Athena came back to Dynamite in the most  spectacular  fashion and knocked your hosts on their BUTTS. Plus MisogynyJF strikes again, and we’re hit with a romance angle  none  of us saw coming! 0:00 Chit Chat Time 8:22 Darby Allin Upd...

Dynasty may have brought your girls down, but Dynamite this week brought them WAY WAY UP. We may be the only people on the entire internet who felt that way but we're bold truth tellers. We talk through Swerve's loss, the Young Bucks' return and what it might mean for the Death Riders' storyline, and what we want from pro wrestling overall. Plus, we're not animals - we talk abo...

This week, on HBO’s Original Series “The Pitt” starring Noah Wyle…..just kidding. Despite our best efforts, the girls settle down and talk wrestling—namely, their new favorite storyteller, Dax Harwood! Plus, the title scene gets intergender, Will Ospreay is Completely Fine, and the girls agree to disagree about Bobby Lashly’s kicky blue suit. Was there anything else going on this week? Can’t think...

Allie was at Dynamite this week so we got some fun on the ground reporting about reactions from the casuals and the crazed things that Justin Roberts says during the break! We also go through Kenny's in-ring promo that must've devastated poor little Will Ospreay, the way Claudio stands, whether Megan Bayne should be champ, MVP disappointing us with what can only be called a bitchfest (dero...

It's Tunnel Talk's fourth anniversary and we start with a little reflection on just how far we've come! Then it's over to the International Title scene where The Tournament to win a date with Kenny Omega finally wraps up with a surprising result--Kenny's taking two people to the prom! Then it's time for the Men's World Title, which is a little less interesting--for now....

It’s Post-Revolution, and as always, your girls are right on time with their thoughts and observations! We bust through all the goings on at a breakneck pace, covering Nana acknowledging Swerve as his liege lord, Hangman’s new short curlycut, the final act of Mariah and Toni’s tragedy, Ospreay’s VERY good day at preschool, and of course, the quarterfinals of our Best Bods tournament! Join us!!! 0:...

There was lots to get into this week in AEW! We talk about Toni and Mariah's brilliant promo work, Ricochet's incredible and perfectly annoying heel character, Renee’s trials (bad interviewee behavior), Megan Bayne’s trials (precarious wardrobe), the Death Rider’s trials (telling a coherent story), and Will Ospreay’s trials (immediately being abandoned by his only friend). Plus, it's W...

Guess what, guys, we made it through February and you know what our reward is? THE BEST BODS IN AEW TOURNAMENT!!! MARCH MADNESS STYLE!!!! Anne got perhaps too excited about the data and the powerpoint, but sixteen beautiful bodies were selected — a sweet sixteen, if you will — and we talk through the first four match-ups in the Western conference. Plus I guess we talked about the week in AEW or wh...

It’s the our last February episode and thank  god  for that.  Your girls were a leeeeeettle distracted this week, and conversations ranged a lot of new and interesting places, like our relationships with our mothers, the identity of the NHL commissioner and our new concept of a private figging stable for boys.  But we did manage to buckle down and get to a really fun week in wrestling.  Hangman an...

Some storylines at AEW aren't succeeding as well as others, but between Toni-Mariah and Hangman-MJF, we got LOTS of meat on the bone this week. Just a lot of juicy juicy psychosexual characterization meat on these ole bones! Plus, guess who came back? Guess who everyone in the iwc was most excited for? That's right, we saw our son Dustin Chuck Taylor again! Looks like February might be wor...

What a fun week in wrestling! Your girls had a GREAT time with this week in AEW! How could we not? Toni made Mariah SPIN out before our very eyes! Hangman's gone weak for Swerve! Ricochet put on a CLINIC on how great character work enhances your in-ring! Will is SO proud to show off his very best friend! Even the slightly less good stuff was still super fun to discuss--we cover Mark Davis'...

It was a sleepy little filler week in AEW, but there was still some fun stuff to talk about. Toni Storm revealed her amnesia was the performance of a lifetime, to our delight! Hangman barged into Swerve's dressing room, obviously looking for some sloppy makeouts! Ricochet wore a capelet! Mox and the Death Riders were not thriving inside a midwestern cellar! Will Ospreay threw his body over Ken...

And we're back! It's a strange, fractious time to be a wrestling fan, but if you know ONE thing about us, it's that we've GOTTA have our fun. We start off celebrating Will Ospreay finally finding the friend he was desperate for in Kenny. Proud of you, bruv. Then, the Hurt People need to figure out who the hell they are, Mariah's indicting all of us for being complicit in Toni&#...

Finally, your girls get to react to the greatest triumph of our time as podcasters—the Young Bucks took their shirts off, and it was GLORIOUS.  Plus, Kenny’s BACK baybee, Will Ospreay is a friendship slut, the Hurt People are a tag team after all, and the old men of AEW are absolutely wildin’ out. Take off your shirt, and get on in here! We're off next week but our episode with Sir Sam at AEW...

We might not be back to feeling normal yet after our big Young Bucks interview, but the episode format? It's back to normal, baybee. Did we process that much of what happened at World's End? Maybe not, but we're here to discuss it anyway, along with what trends we want wrestlers to consider "In" for 2025, and what we'd like them to usher "Out." We talk Continental C...

Record-breaking multi-time "Mommy's Little Ham" award winner Matthew Jackson and the Diet Coke Daredevil himself Nicholas Jackson join your hosts for a girls chat about Dynasty, fashion, bikinis, and getting touched for the very first time. None of that is a fever dream. It really happened. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tunnel-talk/donations Advertising Inquiries: htt...

It's the Winter Christmas Collision Crash Smash Bash for the Fallen time at AEW, and your girls are just trying to keep up! As Anne eerily predicted, Toni's gone full amnesia mode and we could not be happier about it. Ricochet has revealed his secret dork ass self and he's NEVER been more over with us. Plus Darby and Ospreay took us out of this WORLD, The Bucks turned up to delight us,...

Everyone's sober, prepared, and back in rhythm this week, and it's never felt so good! Your Connie girls talk about why this year's tournament simply isn't reaching the heights of last year — it's called emotional stability and it's disgusting. Luckily we've got Orange Cassidy and his proclivities to get us through these trying times, not to mention the time capsule tha...

Let's put all our cards on the table: Allie was compromised by substances in this episode but we valiantly recorded anyway. Is it our most "coherent" podcast? It's not. Are any of our episodes that coherent, though? That's not for us to say. We talk CONNIE, we talk MJF's horrible hair, we talk OC's triumphant cameraman ruse, we talk Swerve and Max Caster! Plus Allie rev...
