Tunnel Talk

After Allie shares something that’s making her happy and we dive deep into TV shows of the 2000s, it’s time to talk wrestling: Daniel Garcia & Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Orange Cassidy & Shibata and we discuss what might happen with the belt. Next up, The Elite set up their Forbidden Door matches and Eddie and Mox have more chemistry than anyone in the game. Unfortunately on our TVs: CM Punk....

We're Back and We Hate It Here.  The girls re-adjust to the dry world after returning from their vacation, and boy is it a rough adjustment. We get into it about whether Adam Cole is a pajama boy, whether Hangman is a babygirl, whether Bryan Danielson ever comes in from the woods, and whether Taz was consulted at ALL when Jungle Boy decided to start romancing his son. It's another week on...

It's our post PPV episode, and we discuss the sandwich that was Double or Nothing: great bread, not so good filling. Our faves all really came through with great matches to start and end things, and our least faves were broadly panned in the middle, so no one can say your girls don't know how to pick 'em! We discuss all the wrestling action of the week, plus important topics like: Anne...

It’s a jam-packed Pre-PV week here on Tunnel Talk! On the pod this week, your hosts start by discussing Collision, and general vibes heading into the PPV, and then run through the whole Double or Nothing card as far as we know it. First up: The Pillars and our thoughts vs the negative reviews the storyline is getting from wrestling men. Then Jamie Hayter vs Toni Storm, and Ethan Page and The Gunns...

We were absolutely battered by this week, both in terms of wrestling and by the difficulties of being human women. Don't worry though, we didn't let it stop us from recording a podcast, even though many, perhaps, would hope we would have. Beautiful Hunky Hangman accepted Kenny's Broom of Marriage, and the Elite are once again Complete.  We are? Happy.  Not much else made us too happy,...

First up, Kenny and Mox had a cagematch this week, which, as promised, ended up giving Kenny a broken body and a broken heart.  We then return to a classic topic, the relative sizes and shapes of men, to discuss Claudio and Fenix's Double Jeopardy match, and how sick it is when tag wrestlers go for singles belts (we're looking at you, Kyle Fletcher). Does no one in this industry understand...

First up, Orange Cassidy, Adam Cole, and the Chris Jericho non-appreciation society fought the Jericho Appreciation Society in another loss for coherence in wrestling storytelling (but the non-appreciation society won). Next, ironically: Will Washington’s new role tracking continuity at AEW! Then we check in on the Pillars and look ahead to the fourway at Double or Nothing. In the world of Blackpo...

It's the last episode of Sleepy April and as usual, we're giggling our way on through!  On Dynamite this week, the Pillars were back and this time, they were back to making sense!  But you know who bravely chose not to make any sense? Our new favorite tag team, Orange Adam Cole.  The girls break that down and more as we investigate the epic love story that's this week in wrestling! Sup...

We were low energy girls this week, but heroically pulled it together to talk about the week in Tony Khan's wrestling circus. The Pillars had their most scattered segment yet, and we spent some time getting into what they could've done structurally to improve it. MJF's plan to get Sammy to throw a match didn't make a lot of sense as explained, but don't worry, Sammy's going...

Hey guys, mommy's home from vacation and she brought everyone souvenirs! Also one giant dead rat, but that's fine! No problems here!  The girls have a cathartic vent session about the rumored return of Grima Wormtongue before moving onto the events of the week. We get into it about Brandon and Nak standing up to bullies (derogatory) in defense of their bullies (complimentary).   We also de...

This week on Tunnel Talk: we discuss the surprise debut of Jay White of NJPW, who appeared in a match with Juice Robinson to beat down Ricky Starks. Next, Tony Khan’s latest anticlimactic Big Announcement: AEW will get their UK debut with All In at Wembley Stadium. On Rampage, Malakai Black and Brody King fought Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta, leading to OC and Best Friends’ match vs House of Blac...

Allie's out of town, so Lea and Anne are walking themselves with the help of special guest Sarah this week, and we had a lot to talk about with the premiere of AEW All Access! We talk reality show tropes, wrestling kayfabe vs. reality kayfabe, and what kind of cocaine they put on the wrestling ropes that make injured wrestlers so desperate to go back. We also get into Danny Garcia's advent...

Happy two years of Tunnel Talk! The girls get blastered on Orange Cassidy cocktails and reflect back on how far we've come--Remember Mister Italy? And hilarious jokes about loving Chris Jericho?  We manage to do a little bit of wrestling talk and discuss why Don Callis is keeping Kenny and Hangman apart, the unreal things Vikingo was up to, and how Stokely Hathaway's Big Match sent us into...

Wrestling was good this week! It was a huge week and your hosts are here to break it down for you, as AEW finally kicked off a new season’s worth of storylines. First up: BCC fought Hangman, Evil Uno, and special Canadian guest Stu Grayson in a six-man tag, and we get into BCC’s heel turn. In the main event, we had the Elite vs JAS vs House of Black. And then, thrillingly, at the end of the show,...

Hey, it's a bonus pod! Have you ever wanted to listen to audio of three people watching a video you're not watching? How about listening to people react to gifs you're not looking at? If so, you're in luck, because we're FINALLY making good on our promise to watching things our 5-star reviewers requested! First up requested by Listener Nicole is the main event from Black Label...

Happy PPV week to everyone out there! It's an extra long pod as we get into all the action on Revolution and the Revolution fallout, starting with the new buy-in format and ending with a little QT and Hobbs callback, as a treat. We talk fashion, from Ricky's pearls to Christian Cage's sleeveless turtleneck! We talk corporate synergy, with the International All-Atlantic Traveling Belt f...

Your girls committed a mutiny this week!  We sped through the pay-per-view matches at a breakneck speed, covering such topics as Why The Elite Are Being Silenced, What's The Hell Is Going On With The Four Match, Where Does Eddie Think He's Going, and How Is Hangman/Mox The Only Reason We're Buying The PPV?  It doesn't matter—none of it matters. Who cares! What's really importan...

We start off by talking about the week’s big announcements: the new reality show, AEW: All Access, premiering in March, and Adam Cole’s scheduled return on the same night. Next up is Mox and Evil Uno’s big main event match on Dynamite, and Hangman and the Bucks. Wheeler Yuta and Orange Cassidy had a confrontation and a match, and we’ll get into the family dynamics at play plus wrestling men’s reac...

It was a weird week in wrestling that we mostly felt lackluster about, but we cover the important topics of the day: Hangman eating Moxley's ass, whether Mox was wearing a woman's shirt (complimentary), Kenny Omega's shorts, Wardlow's dead dad hair, and whether Hook is going to start doing a Hamlet-esque play-within-a-play about the Elite suspensions. We also cover the build to Rev...

What a week in February this February week was! We start out with honoring our surprise new Tag Team Champions, Billy Gunn's Silly Sons! It's a move many in the community "hated" but your girls respect a little silliness. Then it's onto a discussion of the Elite's two matches, both of which we thought were an absolute blast.  We check in with the new developments in the Out...

The Elite are finally back on our TVs with an actual promo, so we’re here to lovingly dissect it in the manner you’ve come to expect from us. Hangman defeated Wheeler Yuta on Rampage last week, and then possibly the most sexual match we’ve ever seen: Hangman and Mox, doing things men should but don’t always do on our TVs. Next, we have a series of questions about the MJF/Bryan Danielson side of AE...

We’re back from our week off and ready to get into it with Anne freshly back from attending AEW’s show in Lexington, KY. She reports on how Best Friends’ bodies were looking, and we find out who knew there was a heel corner of the ring and who didn’t: the answer may surprise you! Other topics of debate were the Gunn Club’s comparative dirtbag hotness, whether FTR “did a great job” at “taking it fr...

Game 7 of the Best of 7 series was on Wednesday, and the girls aren't crying because it's over, they're smiling because it happened. We reflect on the success of the series as a whole, discuss the Elite's ineptness at ladder climbing, speculate about how a younger brother swap would go, and whether Kenny has become a disgruntled cat who vengefully pees in corners. Normal stuff!  Pl...

This week on Tunnel Talk, we’re in a post-tunnel world but that won’t slow us down. As a special new year’s treat for us, we have a Best Friends storyline to discuss, but as always it could disappear at any moment! OC was eliminated from the trios contest by Kip, and Trent eliminated Kip so he wanted a title shot — leading to a heated OC vs Trent match that OC won, but we may not have heard the la...

It's a Very Special Holiday Episode of Tunnel Talk, which means — that's right — we play that classic game, "Which Wrestler is Scrooge and Which Are the Ghosts." Heels, it's your time for supernaturally-induced repentance! But don't worry, we found time for plenty of regular wrestling talk too, and get into whether Renee should be more biased, if wrestling promos could be w...
