Episode notes

All hail the brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

We’re another week closer to a big PLE in REDACTED where a new King and Queen of the Ring will be crowned.

Now that Gunther has dispatched the would-be King Yeet, Jey Uso, it feels like it is the Ring General’s tournament to lose. And him vs. Randy Orton could be a lot of fun.

On the women’s side, there’s one person emerging as the favorite of Danielle and Lindsey’s who may surprise you.

Plus, after a tease, it looks like Logan Paul vs. Cody Rhodes will only be for the WWE title with no double-champ implications at play. Hal will tell us why he’s a fan of the move.

Plus: Harry and the Hendersons starring Otis!

The Main Event

The WWE King of the Ring goes back to 1985 when Don Murraco became the first monarch of WWF. Since then dozens of others have competed for the honor of WWE’s funniest honor.

The Three Count

Lindsey put over Peacock’s new show (which has a star you may recognize).

Danielle put over a surprising possibility to be Queen of the Ring.

Hal put over Shane McMahon vs. Kurt Angle.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.

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