Episode notes

This episode of Tights and Fights is part of a long and proud legacy of wrestling podcasts.

It’s Bash in Berlin weekend! The first WWE event live from Germany already has a fantastic Main Event lined up with Gunther vs. Randy Orton. So how do we feel about humble and “grateful for his long career” Randy? Not great!

In addition to breaking down the other matches on the card, we’ll discuss what’s becoming a trend in the Triple H era: 5 match cards for the PLEs. Is it a move for the best or are there too many missing elements on the shows nowadays?

The Main Event: Nepobabies, we make our dreams come true

Wrestling is the only place where Nepo Baby is a badge of honor. You can even call them a “second/third generation superstar” if you’re feelin’ nasty. And now that we’re in our family wars era of WWE, we thought we’d take a look at some of our favorite legacy stars from over the years.

Danielle put over ASMR- the Montreal Screwjob.

Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Julian Burrell.

Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
