Finn Balor will not be denied! Even though CM Punk has accepted Roman Reigns’ challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship, he will take on the Prinxe in Chicago at Elimination Chamber. Given how there’s no chance Finn will win this match, what does this mean for his path to WrestleMania? We also take a look at Liv Morgan– she has yet to pick which championship she will challenge for. We can think of a solid case for both the WWE and the World Titles. The Main Event Over the years there's been a lot of wrestling gimmick matches. And some of them have gone on to be staples of wrestling like the Elimination Chamber and the Royal Rumble. And others are the Punjabi Prison match. The Three Count Danielle put over WWE Superstar Bad Bunny. Julian put over Stone Cold Jane Austen. Hal put over Sad Johnny Gargano.  Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky. This show was produced by Julian Burrell for Maximumfun.org

The Royal Rumble has come and gone; the first ever edition of the show to be in Saudi Arabia. And once again, it’s the clearest sign of WWE placing profit before the fan experience. The audience felt slim, the women were forced to wear their full-coverage jumpsuits and the whole just had a vibe that wasn’t befitting a Big 5 PLE. But there were things that we enjoyed: Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan won the titular match; the former sets up an incredibly compelling match for the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk. Plus seeing Gunther retire AJ Styles was something that clearly emotionally affected everyone in attendance and around the world. But we’ll explain why we actually think this is really compelling booking. All that and plenty more, but we’re left dreading the next time WWE decides to hold another show in Saudi Arabia.  The Three Count Danielle put over The Bellas on Impaulsive Julian put over Roman's shoes. Hal put over Dominik Mysterio’s three dads.  Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky. This show was produced by Julian Burrell for Maximumfun.org

Just go to maximumfun.org/join WWE has recently released the second season of “Unreal” on Netflix. It’s another peak into how the company works. It’s probably not as “real” as it claims to be; but there are still some great insights that we’re happy to discuss… especially the ones about Chelsea Green. The Main Event: What we’ve loved and loathed about the Royal Rumble. This Saturday is the Royal Rumble. It's one of WWE’s most important shows of the year. So why does the marketing for the show feel so slipshod? We take a look and examine some of the highs and lows from the event’s history. The Three Count Danielle put over Becky's weather reports. Lindsey put over Cat Dad Drew. Hal put over  Wrestling newbies and Royal Rumble ribs.

There’s been some really strong matches lately, not the least of which was Finn Balor’s effort against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title. There’s also a really promising rivalry coming up between Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace. But we haven’t been able to get excited about the Royal Rumble, mainly because of how poor the build to the show has been. What gives? And can WWE heat this thing up in a week? The Main Event: Wrestling Interview Shows Sometimes we just wanna take a break from all that wrestling on our wrestling show. That is when WWE makes a change in presentation and throws in the classic wrestler-hosted interview show. So let's talk about some of our favorites from over the years and what makes them work.  The Three Count Danielle put over Jojoblacco. Lindsey put over Jade Cargill's interview skills. Hal put over John Cena making Bruce Prichard's Streak Baby. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky. This show was produced by Julian Burrell for Maximumfun.org

Drew McIntyre is WWE Champion! Just one week after we’d noticed that the company seemed hesitant to shake things up at the top of the men’s card, the Scottish Psychopath beat Cody Rhodes for the top title in the company. Where does Drew go from here? And will there be cats? Hopefully! Plus, how we would make Finn Balor vs. CM Punk more interesting. The Main Event: Alison Lyn Miller There's a new wrestling book hitting store shelves this month: Rough House: A Father, a Son and thePursuit of Pro Wrestling Glory. It's the story of Georgia born Hunter James as he tries to surpass the wrestling legacy of his father. That includes the turbulent world of the indies where things are, shall we say, not as glamorous as all televised wrestling we see every week. Alison Lyn Miller joins us to discuss the book. You can find her on tour now. The Three Count Lindsey put over Bayley on What's Your Story?. Julian put over Glasgow's favorite son returning home.

Just go to maximumfun.org/join. It’s the first episode of Tights and Fights in the new year! What an eventful couple of weeks we’ve missed so far– tons of championships changed hands and many new faces appeared across all WWE shows. But there’s still an air of caution to all of these moves. We’ll explain why. The Main Event: Our Predictions for 2026 2026 is here and it brings with it so many possibilities in wrestling. So we decided to get some skin in the game. We are going to go around and each make three predictions each, one at a time. At the end of the year, whoever gets the most correct will be allowed to force the panel to watch and react to one wrestling match or wrestling related piece of media of the winner's choice. The Three Count Danielle put over Jamie Hayter’s fit check at AEW World’s End. Lindsey put over Tanahashi’s retirement ceremony and the Wholesome Hottie Maxxine Dupri Hal put over John Cena making Becky Lynch crashing Sam Roberts' podcast.

Just go to maximumfun.org/join. With the end of the year upon us, it’s time for a lot of reflection on the year in wrestling. But one subject was so big  that we couldn’t help but devote an entire episode to: the culmination of John Cena’s final year as a professional wrestler. In his match against Gunther, he did the one last thing he’d never done before: tap out! While we agree that it was a remarkable way for one of WWE’s all time greats to end his career, we debate on the impact of such a conclusion. The Three Count: Lindsey put over Pancho and Mach merch (finally!). Danielle put over Mick Foley cutting ties with WWE. Hal put over John Cena making a child a priority at his final match.
