Podcast appearances and mentions of Lindsey Kelk

Hal Lublin makes his triumphant return and finally gets the chance to share what's been on his mind.Specifically, the state of the World Heavyweight Championship. Has WWE effectively capitalized on Jey Uso's popularity? And is Gunther the right person to hold the World Title in Goldberg's presumed retirement match?Plus, with King and Queen of the Ring well underway, we continue to advocate for Jade Cargill as our winner on the women's side and wonder who would be the right choice for the men.The Main Event:Liv Morgan has really leveled up in the past year and a half. Now her momentum has been derailed by an untimely injury, but hopefully it's not enough to stop her from playing into WWE's plans this summer.The Three Count:Danielle put over Rhea Rhipley training Zelina Vega. Lindsey put over Kairi Sane's reaction to Liv's injury.Hal put over Cathy x Rhea Shipping.Hosted by Hal Lublin, Lindsey Kelk, and Danielle Radford.Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

What a complete emotional whiplash after last week! Money in the Bank was a fine PLE that delivered some great highlights; not the least of which is Naomi as the brand new Ms. Money in the Bank! Plus, R-Truth made his short-awaited return, and has redefined himself as Ron Killings. We geek out about some of these great developments and look ahead to who we think would be a great Queen and King of the Ring.The Three Count:Lindsey put over Jey's Journal.. Julian put over 2K18 playable at last.Danielle put over Naomi being a total pro.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Julian BurrellProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

It's time for another big wrestling weekend! We give a full preview to Saturday's “Worlds Collide” and Sunday's “Money in the Bank” shows from WWE. But as we pick winners and what we expect to see… we can't help but wonder if WWE has overplayed its hand and delivered TOO many shows. Main Event: R-Truth is no longer in WWER-Truth is no longer a WWE superstar. He's one of the most beloved members of the roster by both fans and his peers and was just part of a big match against John Cena. But it looks like this is the end for now as the company chose not to renew his contract. Maybe he was getting undersold on the money? We don't really know for sure yet. The Three Count:Lindsey put over Stephen Fry x WWE. Hal put over AC/DCenaHosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Julian BurrellProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Saturday Night's Main Event was the start of an incredibly busy wrestling Summer. There wasn't much in terms of titles exchanging hands, but we did see the return of Bronson Reed for Seth Rollins' unnamed stable.Plus Cody Rhodes is back! And he set up a Money in the Bank match with him and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul.Rerun: The Rock's Entrance MusicIn 2017, we broke down all of The Rock's entrance music over the course of his career so far; everything from Rocky Maiavia to his final time as WWE champion. We replay this segment and also add in our thoughts on the new Final Boss music.The Three Count:Julian put over Nattie's birthday party.Danielle put over Bardcore wrestling.Lindsey put over Rhea in Stephanie's places. Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Julian BurrellProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Our beloved Open Mike Eagle rejoins the Tights and Fights family!Of course Mike's still busy watching a lot of wrestling. And because of that, he's noticed a number of shortcomings in WWE, specifically in the main event scene. He'll explain.Plus, he'll tell us more about what he thinks is missing from the John Cena heel turn and why he's so optimistic about Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's connection. The Main Event: Theme SongsIt seems like people are more dissatisfied with wrestling entrance music than they have been in years. We'll explore why that is and listen to some of our favorite tracks of all time.The Three Count:Mike put over the art of selling.Danielle put over the Joe Hendry bit.Lindsey put over CM Punk getting sung to the ring. Hal put over Hamilton x Wrestling!Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Open Mike Eagle, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Backlash is often regarded as the come-down show for WWE. There's plenty to criticize; why is Gunther taking on Pat McAfee on his road back to the World Heavyweight Championship picture? And why is WWE intent on protecting Pat McAfee as an in-ring performer?Let's not let that completely distract from the fun moments: Danielle gets to squee about Jeff Cobb fka Monster Matanza in her dearly departed Lucha Underground. And despite us being a little pessimistic going into it, John Cena vs. Randy Orton delivered a solid enough match for Randy's hometown crowd to get behind. Plus, raise a glass to the RAW women's division!The Three Count:Danielle put over RIP Sabu and his FUs .Julian put over Michin's suspect challenge. Hal put over a celebration of love.Hosted by Julian Burrell, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts. 

We've barely had time to breathe after WrestleMania but on we go to Backlash. There haven't been many matches announced, but things look really solid so far: Becky Lynch will go after Lyra Valkyria's Intercontinental Title and Drew McIntyre and LA Knight will go after Jacob Fatu's U.S. Title. And speaking of the U.S. Title— let's mourn Chelsea Green's championship run and hope that Zelina Vega can effectively pick up the baton.The Main Event: A primer on wrestlingThis conversation will be all about introducing newcomers to the world of pro wrestling– all the basic questions that you've ever been afraid to ask will be covered here so that you can mark out with the rest of us the next time wrestling's on TV.For further lessons, check out episode 269.The Three Count:Danielle put over Dom-Dom being Dom-Dom.Lindsey put over Cody Rhodes fighting for his life. Hal put over Dom-Dom being Dom-Dom x2.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

The biggest weekend in wrestling has come and gone; and all anyone wants to talk about is how disappointed they were by that main event between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. And sure there's disappointment between that, The Rock's absence, and the Travis Scott of it all, there still was a lot of good too.New champions were crowned and we even had a really strong Monday Night RAW that could mean this slog we went through is only temporary.The Three Count:Danielle put over Steiner MathLindsey put over Nina Marie living the dream. Hal put over Karrion Kross.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

It's the biggest weekend in wrestling at last!And while we'd love to express our full joy at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, there's no doubt that this build feels… a little weaker than the last few years. Maybe that's due to the fact that the show is later on the calendar than usual; maybe it's because WWE is focused on stars we're less invested in. In any case, it will be a big show that will draw a lot of attention and will, hopefully, over deliver. The Three Count:Danielle put over the Great-EST mash upLindsey put over wrestling treatsHal put over Becoming a Spectacle.Hosted by Lindsey Kelk, Danielle Radford, and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

And to get ready for WrestleMania, check out our new Las Vegas themed shirts at MaxFunStore.com.It was an Elimination Chamber event for the ages!The women's edition of the event started off with a wicked Jade Cargill heel run. Her attack on Naomi was sold BEAUTIFULLY by Bianca Belair, who eventually won the match and will wrestle for the World Title at Mania.Trishy Time was a fun way to keep the Canadians happy (necessary after they booed the national anthem).With how badly Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn beat each other, we have to wonder if this was just the first of two brawls between the two former besties– with the next one to come at WrestleMania.And the highlight of the night was the men's elimination chamber. With tons of rivalries playing out and all won by the beloved John Cena… put a pin in that. Main Event: John Cena turns heelAfter a brief stare down between Cena and Cody, The Rock came out to the ring to collect on his demand for the champion's soul. When Cody dropped an F Bomb to refuse, that would lead to one of WWE's biggest taboos: John Cena turning heel, kicking Cody right in the balls, smacking him bloody with the belt and aligning with the Final Boss… and Travis Scott.Three CountDanielle put over The Alliance For All Wrestling.Lindsey put over Jon Stewart x John Cena.Hal put over CM Punk cookin'. Hosted by Danielle Radford, Lindsey Kelk and Hal LublinProduced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun. The music for our new promo is provided by Incompetech.comIf you want to talk about more wrestling throughout the week be sure to join us on BlueSky, TikTok and Instagram. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and be sure to leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.
