Episode notes

Take your place at the podium for a brand new episode of Tights and Fights!

Hal, Danielle and Lindsey tackle a question raised by Chris Jericho earlier this week: Could pro-wrestling be an Olympic sport? And upon what criteria would it be judged? And who would be the ultimate voice of judgment? Let’s fantasy book the Olympics!

Plus: One final look at Summerslam, which is thankfully this weekend so we can at last move on to other wrestling shows.

The Main Event

It’s the Summer Olympics as we record this and there have been a number of competitors who went on to perform for the WWE. There’s Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, Bad News Brown and more.

Today we’re going to focus on Chad Gable! He last competed in 2012 Olympic Games and these days is locked in battle with the Wyatt Sick6.

The Three Count

Danielle put over a private meeting between the boy kings of wrestling.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.
