Tunnel Talk

We know you must be wondering how your favorite girls felt about Swerve and Mox doing a little kissy, and the answer is: we lost our complete shit .  On top of that, Bryan Danielson spit on Daniel Garcia, and Eddie finally won a match? The Continental Classic RULES!  Elsewhere, we revel in Hangman opening and closing the show, Kenny and Jericho are on island time, and Willow and Mercedes do the se...

It was a GOOD WEEK in wrestling! Christian and Adam Copeland gave us everything we've ever wanted in old man yaoi; Hangman and Swerve are forever connected through what they did to each other's bodies; and these sports girls? LOVE the Continental Classic. All this and more this week on Tunnel Talk! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tunnel-talk/donations Advertising Inquiries:...

It's a bonus episiode of Tunnel Talk with special guest Rich Latta of One Nation Radio. The girls talk to Rich about his history with wrestling, the question of sports vs entertainment, what "WWE shit" really means, and what the HELL is going on with the Elite.  Then we make Rich play our classic dating game, and we're still recovering from the stories Rich spun us. Join us! Rich L...

Initially dubious of the Continental Classic, the recent glut of twitter promos from our contestants have gotten your girls veeeery interested. We take stock of the tournament so far, and where we hope it's going to go. Then it's old man yaoi time--Christian Cage tells Adam Copeland everything he's ever wanted to hear but NOT for the right reasons! We are INVIGORATED. Then it's a t...

The girls tried their hardest this week to be thankful but unfortunately did have to join the IWC in being annoyed at a lot of Full Gear, a turn of events which brought them no pleasure. We get into specifically what's not working for us around the MJF storylines, the deflation we're feeling around the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, and disappointments around the women's belt changes. Bu...

It's Full Gear, baby!!!  Due to the dictates of our schedules versus Tony's, we're recording this before the pay-per-view airs, but releasing it after! Join us as we run down the match card making all the foolish predictions and jokes you've grown to love!  How exactly will the Elite fracture?  Will Swerve and Hangman explode when they finally get their hands on each other?  Is Kri...

Okay, now your girls are annoyed. Last week, the whole internet was up in arms about the direction of Dynamite while we looked around in polite bemusement.  This week, everyone seems to have calmed down, while we're really sharpening our pitchforks.  We get deep into our issues with The Elite's tragedy, MJF and Max Caster's romcom, Daniel Garcia's bildungsroman, and the horror that...

It was a very divisive episode of Dynamite in the IWC this week, which came as quite a surprise to the ladies of Tunnel Talk, who had an inoffensive, moderately good time watching it. Anne was our reporter on the ground and was there in person with her dad, who came as an anthropologist and left impressed by the feats of strength and soap operas for men. This podcast we get into the important topi...

 It’s spooky season here at Tunnel Talk and the girls take on the events of the week with an eye towards their favorite horror movies! Is MJF starring in his own version of Ready or Not as he dodges the killers dogging every step?  Is Hangman playing Sarah from Labyrinth to Swerve’s Jareth the Goblin King? Exactly how soon after the movie starts is Matt Jackson going down?  We cover all this and m...

Allie's back! And how did wrestling reward her for coming indoors? By withholding Hangman and the Bucks from her and from all of us. But our mental health remained strong and we had a blast being reunited to really bluesky how Tony Khan could prevent possible shoot heat scenarios from festering backstage. Ricky and Cope, we're looking at you (maybe). We get into the whole week in AEW, from...

The British Invasion continues with the fabulous Trish Speirs of the Trish and Sarah Wrestling Podcast joining Anne and Lea!  The stars aligned to give us a Hangman and Jay White match to thirst over, and the girls had a blast dissecting the lore, theorizing about the implications, and of course, admiring the bodies.  Also in fantastic news, FTR finally lost their belts, Orange Cassidy and Shida r...

Allie's still off experiencing #vanlife, so Lea and Anne are joined by Sarah (@awfullywaffly) of the Waffly Bollox podcast! You would not believe how much happens when you take two weeks off podcasting and then there's a PPV. We take a little time to celebrate the things we did not have to have takes on while we were out, and then get into the many, many wrestling events of the week, inclu...

The girls live up to the description "Horny English Majors" this week as they challenge themselves to sort all their favorite AEW feuds into romance tropes!  Is Roddy Strong a Sarah Dessen romance hero?  Is Adam Cole addicted to drama? Are Eddie and Claudio reenacting our favorite Georgette Heyer? Are Kenny and Ibushi operating their romance on an eternal timeline that's hard to even c...

There was a LOT to talk about this week — CM Punk? Fully fired! Collision? Suddenly fun! Pay-per-view? Our second in two weeks! We go through all the greatest hits of this week in wrestling: OC and Mox! Toni Storm's new gimmick! Darby forgiving AR Fox! Hangman and Swerve's  sexy new feud! Meat! And frankly so much more. Our sons grew suicidally beautiful and galloped terribly against each...

After a happiness check-in from producer Marjorie, it’s All In week! First up, the CM Punk & JB of it all, which of course we love (but there’s an addendum that we do love ;))… And then, in the Mommy’s Little Elite section, we discuss whether the match order changed, what’s up with the Bucks and FTR, and a very important sign at the show. Next it’s time for unmitigated joy: Best Friends defeat...

It's the last of our Girls on Vacation series, and friends of the pod Anna and Josh join us as we try to make sense of all of the card changes, explain some of the chaos going down, and Anna debuts her newly invented rating system which we WILL be using going forward. Plus, we break down the hilariousness of the Young Bucks/FTR promo, and make our predictions about where the non-brotherly love...

Lea flitted off on vacation this week, so friend of the pod Jeff joined us and started us off with what's making him happy lately. And we're ALL pretty happy this week, because BEST FRIENDS HAVE A MATCH AT WEMBLEY!!!! So actually the build for All In has been exemplary, absolutely no notes. It was an overstuffed Dynamite this week, but one for the girlies — we got Eddie, we got a Stadium S...

It's the second installment of our scheme to wheedle 5 star reviews from you guys! Listeners Jess Kelley, @ChiMothBoy and @AwfullyWaffly told the world we're the prettiest princess in the land, and instructed us to watch 3 different matches, and honestly we had a fricken ball.  First up was the team of Naito and Takahashi vs the Golden Lovers , and we fell in LOVE with the cat man. We did...

After a happiness check-in from Allie, we discuss: the Bucks won a Best Brothers Ever match vs the Hardys, and Nick got on a live mic and said… well, not much. Plus we discuss Kenny and Hangman at All In, and we return to trying to figure out what exactly other people see in FTR. Next, we get some solid family therapy in from the Jericho Appreciation Society. MJF and Adam Cole went to a trampoline...

Hey, it’s a HUGE day for us and we’re bursting with delight to talk about the BIGGEST news around! That’s right, the tunnels came back! Oh, and also the Elite re-signed. That was kind of cool too. Friend of the Pod Sarah is here to help break down what the new contracts mean for All In, All Out, and AEW’s future in general. Plus--Greg WON? Dustin had a MIC? Best Friends have an ANGLE? Can three gi...

It's a heat wave baby, and things on AEW are getting STEAMY. New Lovers Adam Cole and MJF seal their bond with sweet, earnest promises, but Roddy Strong furiously interrupts the wedding in his big Speak Now moment. Unfortunately for him, his heart is broken once again when Adam Cole advises him to find his chill. Elsewhere, FTR also disapproves of the new couple's sublime happiness, but fo...

Anne shared what was making her happy this week, which was playing on easy mode because wrestling made us happy AGAIN. Who knew! Lea brings hard-hitting boots-on-the-ground journalism to the Blood N Guts experience, which was intense one, with nails, broken glass, thumbtacks, Matt Jackson on top of the cage—! We were on the edge of our seats, despite the homophobic camera work. In the end, the Eli...

Allie shares what’s making her happy this week, and then it’s on to wrestling, which actually has made us happy as well! First up, MJF and Adam Cole continue to grow their friendship and we discuss the love triangle with Roderick Strong. They’ll face Sammy and Daniel Garcia in the finals of the Blind Tag Team Eliminator Tournament, and we examine possible outcomes. Next up, Swerve Strickland defea...

After starting the episode with what's making Lea happy (feminism and cheese powder), we launch right into the week in wrestling. The girls break down the latest installment of the Elite vs the BCC, Mox and Eddie's non-kayfabe romantic trip to Japan, and Kenny's adorable promo hinting at an Ibushi appearance at Blood and Guts.  Then it was off to the Adult Lovers part of the podcast, a...

We start with our Summer Happiness recommendation, but we didn't even need it this week because wrestling itself made us so happy! We had the return of Eddie and Moxley and their marital problems, plus the addition of Renee to the mix; Hangman wanting to be a good friend but being a bad one to the Dark Order; Roderick Strong apparently dealing with how he recently confessed his love to Adam Co...
