Tights and Fights

Ep. 17: The 2016 Survivor Series Special

This year the WWE has really been pushing the boundaries of how much wrestling they can squeeze into a single week. NXT TakeOver Toronto aired on Saturday featuring a ton of great matches, including what Hal thinks may have been the match of the year. NXT is clearly in a reloading stage right now, but the team explains why they’re still on board for the brand. Plus: Survivor Series, the forgotten WWE big four pay-per-view, happened on Sunday. And everyone, including the Nation of Conversation, has something to say about the finish to Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg match. And with the show featuring three tradition Survivor Series elimination matches, has the concept been revitalized or run into the ground? But before all of that, we just had to talk about Lucha Underground’s Aztec Warfare 3. Sexy Star became the first women to ever hold the Lucha Underground Championship and Danielle was live in the temple to see it happen.  Hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/hallublin">Hal Lublin</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/danielleradford">Danielle Radford</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Mike_Eagle">Mike Eagle.</a> Produced by <a href="https://twitter.com/Julian_Burrell">Julian Burrell</a> for <a href="http://maximumfun.org">Maximum Fun</a>.
