Episode notes

We have shirts available! Buy our original Tights and Fights logo shirt on Topatoco for the sale price of $14. And buy our brand new WrestleMania shirt to celebrate Ice Cream Christmas all year long. 

This week, we’re joined by Julia Schifini. She hosts podcasts like “Spirits” and “Join the Party” and is a lifelong wrestling fan– so much so that she eventually decided to actually get formal training as a wrestler!

She’ll tell us about what it was like getting training from MJF in a Long Island warehouse and how she was part of wrestling gender reveal match.

First and foremost this week: We have to pay tribute to a WWE and social media legend: The Iron Sheik. We’ll read some of his words of wisdom on twitter.

Then it’s on to wrestling: Why does LA Knight have so much momentum for MITB? Which of the women would be the best choice for the briefcase holder? And finally, where oh where does Jey Uso go as he chooses between the Bloodline and his brother?

The Main Event: Asuka

Last weekend, WWE finally paid off Asuka’s return along with her new look and moveset with defeat of Bianca Belair to win the RAW women’s title. It’s the latest step in a career that’s had her stack up accolades as her fans constantly hope for more success.

The Three Count:

Danielle put over Sandra Gray.

Hal put over Mami and Domy vs. Cody.

Julia put over The Last Match Musical.

Hosted by Danielle Radford, and Lindsey Kelk

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.com
