Episode notes

Welcome back Darnell Mitchell for the second time to Tights and Fights!

And welcome friends to spinning-their-wheels season, the time of year just before WrestleMania where everyone pretends that they have a chance to win the Royal Rumble and have a title match at the WWE’s biggest show of the year.

Jinder Mahal is getting a lot of attention, both on TV and in his title match; but is it possible that he might actually deliver despite whatever misgivings people may have about him getting this spot?

Plus, Darnell is a professional fashion expert so let’s get his take on Scarlett’s new look and the suit game of the Street Profits and Bobby Lashley.

The Main Event

For years, the story of the Von Erichs was one of the most tragic in wrestling. They were one of wrestling’s most famous families before nearly all of them tragically died in rapid succession. Now more people than ever will know their story with the release of the film The Iron Claw.

Darnell put over R-Truth working with the Judgment Day.

Lindsey put over the WWE’s Live tour stopping in Los Angeles.

Danielle put over Tony Atlas on Twitter.
