Mox came back and suddenly AEW feels like home again! We discuss the BCC’s feud with the Don Callis family and whether Ospreay has any concept of why it’s happening. Then it’s over to mommy’s little Elite and this week, Okada receives a very prestigious award! But he’s not the only one getting accolades this week, we also feel incredible relief ove…

It was a weird week in wrestling, and we discuss our mixed feelings about AEW airing All In backstage footage of CM Punk attacking Jack Perry. But even though parts of that were a bit of a bummer, at least we had a great time seeing the unlikely tag team of Willow Nightingale and Adam Copeland come together, and were very entertained by witnessing …

Hey guys? Greg turned heel. Greg turned heel and he kicked OC and Dustin left with Sue, and OC was left in the ring. Cue Taps, and 1 billion years of sobbing. We talk about some other stuff too, like Kris going heel, Joe actually bothering to be a heel, and Dave Meltzer’s hypothetical reaction to Ospreay having something called a Kissing Match. Als…

We only had a luxurious, cool two hours of AEW to review this week and your girls frankly enjoyed reveling in it! We get into the taggy tourney in all its important manifestations: Young Bucks, Best Friends (OC and Trent version), and of course, the Other, Less Fun side of the bracket. We also talk about what's going on with Chris "Big J" Jericho, …

Some of our listeners who've left five star reviews took advantage of our rewards program to make us watch a match of their choosing, and BOY did they deliver! Rory Beckett gave us Swerve vs. Athena and those were some EXTREME HUNKS IN ACTION. Then Young Boy Joshua Smith of Keepin' It Strong Style got us to watch a 1985 I Quit match between Magnum …

It’s Tunnel Talk’s third anniversary, and as is traditional, the girls are in their cups! Despite slowly descending into a negroni hole, your hosts still manage to cover the horniness of the I Can’t Quit You Match, the diversity of storylines in the women’s division, the impending end to our podcast over Ospreay’s likeabilty, and who is not partici…

Allie's at the rodeo so Lea and Anne bravely walked themselves through a very exciting week as Lea was there in person to see Mercedes Moné debut! We talk women's division; we talk how the other recent debuts are fitting in; we talk about what Adam Cole should be up to if we HAVE to see him. In other news - Samoa Joe: phoning it in. Wardlow: pointl…

TUNNELS ARE BACK and so are your girls! The whole of the Social Suplex Network is in a good mood this week, and we’re right there with them. We discuss men leaving on their fronts, the debut of Okada, Swerve facing down the idea of karmic retribution, the return of Kylo Riley and what Horrors he might have seen while he was gone, Danielson’s hard l…

This week, your girls went to an art gallery, swirled their wine, and said, “Provocative.” They also said a lot of things about men’s titties and going out on their backs! Join us as we preview the matches for Revolution this weekend, and talk through the ongoing feuds as well as Ospreay’s delightful drunk girl Kermit-the-frog debut, FTR’s ongoing …

We’re still in the most February February of all February, but your girls march on, cackling all the way. Dynamite this week was hmm…subpar, but we made the most of it it anyway with our admiration of new Best Friends member Jake Hager. Wardlow yelled at us for approximately 20 minutes, but he had a good clear enunciation so that’s something. But h…

It's been a very fun 2024 in AEW, to our intense relief! Samoa Joe is doing everything he can to get Swerve and Hangman's attention, with little success — whatever, he's only the world champion! Danny Garcia is continuing to experiment with FTR, clearly because of his BROKEN HOME. Matt Jackson is thoroughly in boymode and getting praise for it, whi…

It’s a very February week in February and the girls do a quick check-in about some of the stuff we haven’t been talking about in the other company and recommend some of the very good podcasts in our little community. Then we turn our attention to this week in AEW, where we try to make sense of the FTR/Daniel Garcia relationship, and how it’s inters…

We found a lot to talk about this week! FTR & Daniel Garcia had a cagematch with House of Black that was the most nonsensical thing we've ever seen; Deonna Purrazzo gave us more details on her and Toni Storm's matching tattoos PLUS a package of youthful photos of them; and the Young Bucks let us wonder: are they lying about having had a goth phase?…

There's a new member of Anne's family, and we're so excited for her! After we hear the whole story and offer her warm congratulations, we turn our attention to the wrestling. Allie finds out that the Cope Open (or the Copleopen as Schiavone calls it) is an open challenge, not the opening of the show, which makes a lot more sense. In the title scene…

Anne's back and so are SO many of our favorite boys, who we talk about in perhaps too much detail: the Young Bucks, Jungle Boy Jack Perry (sort of), and of course our beloved Chuck Taylor! But don't worry, we also spend plenty of time talking about how Samoa Joe has finally stopped phoning it in, Swerve and Hangman's shared obsession with each othe…

Beautiful Anne is traveling this week and leaves Allie and Lea alone with no babysitter. Many will say, “Bad idea!” The girls discuss the biggest news of the week: BUCKS BACK. MOMMY’S LITTLE BUCKS ARE BACK!!! We also talk through Samoa Joe’s championship committee, what’s going on with Claudio, the mustachio moment, and much more! (00:00) Chitchat …

Tunnel Talk is so excited to be joining the Social Suplex Network! And as our introduction to our new home, this week we return to our roots. That's right, the Continental Classic has wrapped up so we're not focused on "sports presentation" anymore, and we're back to men doing "what they needed to do" and "making beautiful music together." Beautifu…

You know what your girls love? That's right, it's MATH! It's CONTINENTAL CLASSIC SPORTS MATH!! You'll be shocked and amazed to hear us get halfway through the episode before using the word erotic once because we're so obsessed with the "path" to various scenarios. But we do talk Jericho's sweet announcement of Kenny's diverticulitis, if Claudio's t…

We know you must be wondering how your favorite girls felt about Swerve and Mox doing a little kissy, and the answer is: we lost our complete shit. On top of that, Bryan Danielson spit on Daniel Garcia, and Eddie finally won a match? The Continental Classic RULES! Elsewhere, we revel in Hangman opening and closing the show, Kenny and Jericho are on…

It was a GOOD WEEK in wrestling! Christian and Adam Copeland gave us everything we've ever wanted in old man yaoi; Hangman and Swerve are forever connected through what they did to each other's bodies; and these sports girls? LOVE the Continental Classic. All this and more this week on Tunnel Talk!Por Tunnel Talk Productions

It's a bonus episiode of Tunnel Talk with special guest Rich Latta of One Nation Radio. The girls talk to Rich about his history with wrestling, the question of sports vs entertainment, what "WWE shit" really means, and what the HELL is going on with the Elite. Then we make Rich play our classic dating game, and we're still recovering from the stor…

Initially dubious of the Continental Classic, the recent glut of twitter promos from our contestants have gotten your girls veeeery interested. We take stock of the tournament so far, and where we hope it's going to go. Then it's old man yaoi time--Christian Cage tells Adam Copeland everything he's ever wanted to hear but NOT for the right reasons!…

The girls tried their hardest this week to be thankful but unfortunately did have to join the IWC in being annoyed at a lot of Full Gear, a turn of events which brought them no pleasure. We get into specifically what's not working for us around the MJF storylines, the deflation we're feeling around the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, and disappointmen…

It's Full Gear, baby!!! Due to the dictates of our schedules versus Tony's, we're recording this before the pay-per-view airs, but releasing it after! Join us as we run down the match card making all the foolish predictions and jokes you've grown to love! How exactly will the Elite fracture? Will Swerve and Hangman explode when they finally get the…

Okay, now your girls are annoyed. Last week, the whole internet was up in arms about the direction of Dynamite while we looked around in polite bemusement. This week, everyone seems to have calmed down, while we're really sharpening our pitchforks. We get deep into our issues with The Elite's tragedy, MJF and Max Caster's romcom, Daniel Garcia's bi…

It was a very divisive episode of Dynamite in the IWC this week, which came as quite a surprise to the ladies of Tunnel Talk, who had an inoffensive, moderately good time watching it. Anne was our reporter on the ground and was there in person with her dad, who came as an anthropologist and left impressed by the feats of strength and soap operas fo…

It’s spooky season here at Tunnel Talk and the girls take on the events of the week with an eye towards their favorite horror movies! Is MJF starring in his own version of Ready or Not as he dodges the killers dogging every step? Is Hangman playing Sarah from Labyrinth to Swerve’s Jareth the Goblin King? Exactly how soon after the movie starts is M…

Allie's back! And how did wrestling reward her for coming indoors? By withholding Hangman and the Bucks from her and from all of us. But our mental health remained strong and we had a blast being reunited to really bluesky how Tony Khan could prevent possible shoot heat scenarios from festering backstage. Ricky and Cope, we're looking at you (maybe…

The British Invasion continues with the fabulous Trish Speirs of the Trish and Sarah Wrestling Podcast joining Anne and Lea! The stars aligned to give us a Hangman and Jay White match to thirst over, and the girls had a blast dissecting the lore, theorizing about the implications, and of course, admiring the bodies. Also in fantastic news, FTR fina…

Allie's still off experiencing #vanlife, so Lea and Anne are joined by Sarah (@awfullywaffly) of the Waffly Bollox podcast! You would not believe how much happens when you take two weeks off podcasting and then there's a PPV. We take a little time to celebrate the things we did not have to have takes on while we were out, and then get into the many…

The girls live up to the description "Horny English Majors" this week as they challenge themselves to sort all their favorite AEW feuds into romance tropes! Is Roddy Strong a Sarah Dessen romance hero? Is Adam Cole addicted to drama? Are Eddie and Claudio reenacting our favorite Georgette Heyer? Are Kenny and Ibushi operating their romance on an et…

There was a LOT to talk about this week — CM Punk? Fully fired! Collision? Suddenly fun! Pay-per-view? Our second in two weeks! We go through all the greatest hits of this week in wrestling: OC and Mox! Toni Storm's new gimmick! Darby forgiving AR Fox! Hangman and Swerve's sexy new feud! Meat! And frankly so much more. Our sons grew suicidally beau…

After a happiness check-in from producer Marjorie, it’s All In week! First up, the CM Punk & JB of it all, which of course we love (but there’s an addendum that we do love ;))… And then, in the Mommy’s Little Elite section, we discuss whether the match order changed, what’s up with the Bucks and FTR, and a very important sign at the show. Next it’s…

It's the last of our Girls on Vacation series, and friends of the pod Anna and Josh join us as we try to make sense of all of the card changes, explain some of the chaos going down, and Anna debuts her newly invented rating system which we WILL be using going forward. Plus, we break down the hilariousness of the Young Bucks/FTR promo, and make our …

Lea flitted off on vacation this week, so friend of the pod Jeff joined us and started us off with what's making him happy lately. And we're ALL pretty happy this week, because BEST FRIENDS HAVE A MATCH AT WEMBLEY!!!! So actually the build for All In has been exemplary, absolutely no notes. It was an overstuffed Dynamite this week, but one for the …

It's the second installment of our scheme to wheedle 5 star reviews from you guys! Listeners Jess Kelley, @ChiMothBoy and @AwfullyWaffly told the world we're the prettiest princess in the land, and instructed us to watch 3 different matches, and honestly we had a fricken ball. First up was the team of Naito and Takahashi vs the Golden Lovers, and w…

After a happiness check-in from Allie, we discuss: the Bucks won a Best Brothers Ever match vs the Hardys, and Nick got on a live mic and said… well, not much. Plus we discuss Kenny and Hangman at All In, and we return to trying to figure out what exactly other people see in FTR. Next, we get some solid family therapy in from the Jericho Appreciati…

Hey, it’s a HUGE day for us and we’re bursting with delight to talk about the BIGGEST news around! That’s right, the tunnels came back! Oh, and also the Elite re-signed. That was kind of cool too. Friend of the Pod Sarah is here to help break down what the new contracts mean for All In, All Out, and AEW’s future in general. Plus--Greg WON? Dustin h…

It's a heat wave baby, and things on AEW are getting STEAMY. New Lovers Adam Cole and MJF seal their bond with sweet, earnest promises, but Roddy Strong furiously interrupts the wedding in his big Speak Now moment. Unfortunately for him, his heart is broken once again when Adam Cole advises him to find his chill. Elsewhere, FTR also disapproves of …

Anne shared what was making her happy this week, which was playing on easy mode because wrestling made us happy AGAIN. Who knew! Lea brings hard-hitting boots-on-the-ground journalism to the Blood N Guts experience, which was intense one, with nails, broken glass, thumbtacks, Matt Jackson on top of the cage—! We were on the edge of our seats, despi…

Allie shares what’s making her happy this week, and then it’s on to wrestling, which actually has made us happy as well! First up, MJF and Adam Cole continue to grow their friendship and we discuss the love triangle with Roderick Strong. They’ll face Sammy and Daniel Garcia in the finals of the Blind Tag Team Eliminator Tournament, and we examine p…

After starting the episode with what's making Lea happy (feminism and cheese powder), we launch right into the week in wrestling. The girls break down the latest installment of the Elite vs the BCC, Mox and Eddie's non-kayfabe romantic trip to Japan, and Kenny's adorable promo hinting at an Ibushi appearance at Blood and Guts. Then it was off to th…

We start with our Summer Happiness recommendation, but we didn't even need it this week because wrestling itself made us so happy! We had the return of Eddie and Moxley and their marital problems, plus the addition of Renee to the mix; Hangman wanting to be a good friend but being a bad one to the Dark Order; Roderick Strong apparently dealing with…

After Allie shares something that’s making her happy and we dive deep into TV shows of the 2000s, it’s time to talk wrestling: Daniel Garcia & Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Orange Cassidy & Shibata and we discuss what might happen with the belt. Next up, The Elite set up their Forbidden Door matches and Eddie and Mox have more chemistry than anyone in th…

We're Back and We Hate It Here. The girls re-adjust to the dry world after returning from their vacation, and boy is it a rough adjustment. We get into it about whether Adam Cole is a pajama boy, whether Hangman is a babygirl, whether Bryan Danielson ever comes in from the woods, and whether Taz was consulted at ALL when Jungle Boy decided to start…

It's our post PPV episode, and we discuss the sandwich that was Double or Nothing: great bread, not so good filling. Our faves all really came through with great matches to start and end things, and our least faves were broadly panned in the middle, so no one can say your girls don't know how to pick 'em! We discuss all the wrestling action of the …

It’s a jam-packed Pre-PV week here on Tunnel Talk! On the pod this week, your hosts start by discussing Collision, and general vibes heading into the PPV, and then run through the whole Double or Nothing card as far as we know it. First up: The Pillars and our thoughts vs the negative reviews the storyline is getting from wrestling men. Then Jamie …

We were absolutely battered by this week, both in terms of wrestling and by the difficulties of being human women. Don't worry though, we didn't let it stop us from recording a podcast, even though many, perhaps, would hope we would have. Beautiful Hunky Hangman accepted Kenny's Broom of Marriage, and the Elite are once again Complete. We are? Happ…

First up, Kenny and Mox had a cagematch this week, which, as promised, ended up giving Kenny a broken body and a broken heart. We then return to a classic topic, the relative sizes and shapes of men, to discuss Claudio and Fenix's Double Jeopardy match, and how sick it is when tag wrestlers go for singles belts (we're looking at you, Kyle Fletcher)…

First up, Orange Cassidy, Adam Cole, and the Chris Jericho non-appreciation society fought the Jericho Appreciation Society in another loss for coherence in wrestling storytelling (but the non-appreciation society won). Next, ironically: Will Washington’s new role tracking continuity at AEW! Then we check in on the Pillars and look ahead to the fou…
