Tunnel Talk Tunnel Talk Productions

It's our fourth installment of our From the Reviews series! If you give us a 5* review on any platform and shoot us a message with a request, we'll watch whatever match you ask and record ourselves watching it!

In this episode we watched:

3:20 Mystery Wrestling 5 (requested by @cfettback on twitter)
24:06 Chiitan & Pokotan Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Super Sasadango Machine (requested by @kingofthenorth on Twitter)
47:08 Kenny vs Ibushi 2008 (requested by Charles)
1:06:30 Kenny vs Ospreay (requested by Cody)

This week we get to talk about all our favorite things: the Elite having a storyline! The Best Friends having a storyline! Mariah, Toni and Mina having a love triangle! Plus we get to clarify some stuff about Having a Special Guy, as well as really get into OUR very special guy, Chuck Taylor, FINALLY giving us more information on his injury. Do we sound crazy talking about it? Of course we do, he's our special little guy! Plus, if Taz and Tony Schiavone don't work out what's going on with them and resolve some of this conflict we are absolutely going to go insane. It's another Tunnel Talk, baby, buckle up!



And FYI, on June 29, we're going to be on the Poisonrana Pod's Charity Stream to raise money for the Maddy Cusack Foundation! We'll be appearing from 2:00-2:30 pm Eastern time, so tune in to watch us play some games and then donate to this great cause!

It's our post-Double or Nothing episode (Deeble or Neeble for the real ones) and the girls once again bravely break away from the wrestling podcasting herd and say things like "It was a fun show," "Enjoyed watching that match." Please don't cancel us, folks! We discuss: our aborted love affair with The Brood, the absolute insanity of Anarchy in the Arena, the joy of finally getting to see Mercedes wrestle, and the searing agony we felt watching Orange Cassidy writhe in the ring, Completely Alone. Join us for the hot takes you're not getting ANYWHERE else!

It’s ice cold shower season and maybe that’s why your girls showed up in such a good mood this week, but we had LOTS to talk about. Trent and OC continue their psychological torture of us and each other, and we have a live-on-the-air realization that Dustin Chuck Taylor may have been the first wrestler we saw go out on his back! Team AEW is not doing their best work but our beautiful Elite are doing great storytelling, as are Swerve and Christian, and shockingly, even Malakai Black decided to be interesting for the first time in years. This week had flamethrowers, it had TK in an SUV, it had a period bloodbath — but the most important thing we talk about is the utter failure of the wrestling media. Media criticism? From Tunnel Talk? You’ll have to listen to find out!

(1:28:19) Copeland and Malakai

Your girls are having a wild one this week and their grasp on the “facts” is way looser than normal.  They discuss: Claudio and his grudge against Eddie, The Elite and the futility of expecting us to root against them, the newest development in the Mina/Mariah/Toni storyline, and whether Jericho University is fully accredited.  Don’t bother us, we’re busy interpreting!

Your bravest girls bear up under another week that’s trying to keep them down! Mommy’s very best elite are doing their finest work and we vote to LEAVE them in charge forever. Plus, we try to get to the bottom of what’s going on in the Toni/Mariah/Mina triangle and we’re starting to suspect lesbionic activity. Also we try frantically to become medical professionals in the wake of Chuck Taylor’s diagnosis which has mixed results. What’s making us happy?  Not this!
