Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks with Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero

It's another week and another new episode of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks! The guys talk mostly WWE this week. Smackdown had two title changes which is somewhat interesting. RAW had a solid show that Gringo refused to watch because of the giant TKO advertising di.... nevermind. The idea of a Penta vs Rey Fenix in the winner gets to lose to Roman Reigns is interesting. However, the highlight of WWE this week was Solo Sikoa being awesome. Never in a million years did I ever think I was going to say that. The trio discusses WWE paying too much attention to AAA because they'll ruin the awesomeness of AAA. Gringo goes on a nuclear rant about the Avery Style situation. Turtleneck and Gringo give their insights as former indie wrestlers. The guys answer a listener email!

Seriously... just shut up and put the damn ring like everyone else does when they're a rookie ya damn nepo baby! Sorry. Anyway... wrestling happened and the guys are here to bring you all of the love and hate they have for today's product. Back to the original statement, AJ Styles doesn't think his kid should have to put the ring when he's starting out. Sure, Jan. The Saints suspend Scott Steiner's kid for illegal contaminates, and other stories start off the pod. Then, it's on to talk about the week in WWE. Danhausen doesn't seem to be the only one cursing people... seems like Michael Hayes as well. Door Dash and Dom's "chicken tendies" take precedence over Joe Hendry's in ring segment. Several people seem to be irritated with their current booking. Were the regular shows good? Define good? There were some good segments and some bad ones. Solo, finally becoming entertaining and interesting, takes the proverbial Delorian back to 2021. WWE displays AAA in half speed by bringing Laredo Kid to RAW for a tournament match with Penta. Becky Lynch makes the women's title picture interesting again. The Sea Hag helps too! Bron Breakker gets neutered. What a night of Raw... if you are willing to accept mediocrity. AAA was pretty fun. Damien 666 returns to Perros Del Mal. Two of the worst named wrestlers ever (Jack Cartwheel and Noisy Boy) put on a super fast paced and innovative match. We get a really good Dom backstage sit down interview. Can we just review AAA from now on and omit everything from this pod? The guys also answer a few interesting letters from listeners. Check out RecCenterTV.com and watch "Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre" on Troma Now!

Summerslam happened! Raw happened. Other stuff happened. Most importantly, the guys are all back together again and all is right in their world of wrestling podcasting. Was Summerslam any good? Was Raw tolerable? How about AAA (not the roadside service)? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out what we thought? Expect periods of ranting and raving with strong chances of hot takes!

Oh boy! Tonight is gonna be short and hopefully not a train wreck! "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico flies solo for this week's episode. Kenny can't drive and pod and Turtleneck's hamster can't run fast enough to power his computer after a huge power outage in his area. Summerslam is this upcoming weekend and Fantastico with his limitless positivity tries to break it down somewhat positively. He briefly recaps AEW Redemption (want a full recap? Listen to the AEW-Some Pod). After one of the worst go-home Monday Night Raw's in recent history, will Summerslam be the usual TKO overbooked crapfest or will their unapologetic use of AI rally us into caring? Who knows? Nick Aldis has his big comeback match after a 3 year hiatus against Gunther and Balor vs Sami should be fun! Will Cody go full-blown Homelander like we all want? Will Seth finally go away after Roman beats him with the help of the entire island of Samoa? Guess we're gonna find out this weekend! Stay tuned next week for a more traditional episode of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks!" For now though... courage. - "Clerks: The Animated Series"

It's episode 133 and your goto trio, once you've listened to all the other wrestling pods, is here to bring you the week in wrestling, some MMA, and some Football (Soccer to us Yanks). This week Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now) bring you the latest and greatest? in the world of wrasslin! With Saturday Night's Main Event on the horizon (this weekend) to give us matches we are on the fence about leading into Summerslam in roughly two weeks, we dissect the build coming from Smackdown and Raw. Oba Femi cuts the best promo of his career that even popped Gringo. Solo Sikoa has a weird face turn, but will it last? Cody Rhodes could be on the verge of going full Homelander Cody, which we've all been clamoring for. Will the Rock flop his way back into the picture after the Moana tank? Will TKO please continue to leave AAA alone and not attempt to incorporate it further onto the main shows? Who's the damn heel? Roman or Seth? Who did Bron Breakker piss off at TK-No? Why is Lyra Valkyria only half a strung out sea hag? Who the hell knows? We sure don't, but we're going to make all of the assessments and bad takes we can to get us there! Oh yeah... We also dissect the first two Season 7 episodes of Dark Side of the Ring. 7 Seasons??? Wow! They're practically a lady! That makes no sense, but f*** it. Who cares? (Check out Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and donate to the Season 5 crowdfund on RecCenterTV.com!)

With Turtleneck at a concert, Episode 132 is being helmed by Kenny Romero and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico. It was a weak week of wrestling with CM Punk getting a Chicago made TKO t-shirt selling title shot against the 9 day champion of Sami Zayn. We have reservations about this booking decision, brother. The guys stay fairly wrestling focused discussing the upcoming Summerslam card, the Aldis/Gunther/Pierce love triangle, the week in wrestling including TNA, AEW, and WWE. This week's Dynamite will shape what's to come with AEW's flagship PPV, All In... if you didn't already have it beat into your skull it's at Wembley. Will Jericho beat Ciampa and will Kenny Omega win the AEW World Heavyweight Championship from MJF? We don't know but we'll make assessments. TNA had an interesting 6 man X-Division #1 contender's match featuring Fabian Aichner (Giovanni Vinci), while Nic Nemeth shows his true colors to KC Navarro. Maxine Dupree is finally interesting making a championship impact on RAW. Why wasn't Lyra on Raw again after pummeling Bayley. Who knows? I know TKO has no clue. Anywho, check our hot takes and hope Gringo doesn't have a damn heart attack from the hate stress.

After a week hiatus so they could all actually be in the same place at the same time, the guys are back with more hot takes, stupid humor, and wild tangents! Night of Champions and Forbidden Door happened this weekend alongside Slammiversary, AAA, MLW, the second coming of King Harley Race in the form of the spectacular Trevor Murdoch in NWA. The Saudis finally got the champion they've been clamoring for in Sami Zayn, while Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland decided to break out the blades. There was a crazy 6 on 6 cage match on Forbidden Door while WWE gave us... two King of the Ring victories that were completely pointless in the end and some young talent taking the L's for no logical reason. AEW served up several spectacular matches that ran just under two hours prior to the witching hour. (Make your matches shorter, Tony! Some of us are old!) All in all, not a bad weekend of wrestling and our pal Nic Nemeth got to shine becoming the new TNA World Champ! Anywho, there's a lot of headlines, quite a few headlocks, and infinite hijinks on this week's episode!

It's Episode 130 and your trio of Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and Rec Center TV) are back with a vengeance just like Die Hard 3! It was a bit of a lackluster week in wrestling and the guys are here to talk about movies along with the wrestling to fill the void. King of the Ring's booking mixed with writing so terrible it has become comical (unintentionally) and difficult to even be angry with. Liv is in a tournament to fight herself. The only thing that could've made it interesting was nixed for another rematch that no one really cares about... especially the live RAW crowd who literally were dead... but piped in audio from the production team made us think differently. Roman Reigns talks for entirely too long after standing and doing nothing for entirely too long. LA Knight gets snubbed again because... JEY USO! Please make it stop! Join the guys for another week of ridiculous! It'll get better, right? At least AAA and MLW exist. AEW also. TOURNAMENTS MEAN NOTHING IF THEY AREN'T DONE ON THE SAME DAMN NIGHT!!!!

Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" jaded luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on RecCenterTV.com and Troma Now) are back this week a little later than usual because Gringo decided to take his family on vacation. Wrestling happened. Smackdown was the normal. Raw was worse than normal. MLW and AEW were great! AAA fumbled to capitalize on one of the greatest wrestling events of the past 25 years. Fantastico is shocked by Jason's hatred for Andrade's new gimmicky saying. He apparently does not "know." The team talks the week's headlines in wrestling while Gringo continuously mourns mainstream professional wrestling. It is what it is and it's Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks.

It's episode 128 and time for your pals Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and Rec Center TV) to break down the ridiculously expansive weekend full of wrestling. From MLW to a Clash in Italy to one of the best events with one of the best matches of the past two decades south of the border (AAA's Noche de los Grandes) and Monday Night Raw, the trio covers as much as they care to. Gringo goes on several rants about gremlins, backdoors, obsessions, and whatever the hell crazy noise fills his brain. The guys also answer fan mail, give their bar fight group choices, talk all kinds of hijinks and deliver the headlines of the week! It's ridiculous. It's over the top. It's Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks! Email us at HHandHPodcast@Proton.me and have yours read on the show!

AEW Double or Nothing took us to the "magic of the moment." Does that signify that the "winds of change" are coming? Maybe, maybe not. But one could say that arena was on fire... not quite like a Great White concert. Most people who just read that joke would See Red, but regardless of what us Damn Yankees think, there was a lot of wrestling to talk about from this past weekend. From the aforementioned Double or Nothing to Saturday Night's Main Event to AAA and NWA and the following Monday Night Raw, things are getting busy for professional wrestling. Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and Rec Center TV) discuss the crazy Memorial Day weekend of wrestling and the upcoming next crazy weekend of wrestling. Double or Nothing was fantastic. Saturday Night's Main Event was okay. AAA was great. NWA was a lot of fun. The trio dives into all of it for yours and their own venting pleasures and give their picks on the upcoming AAA Noche de Los Grandes, Clash in Italy, and the fallout of Double or Nothing!

Episode 126! Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disaterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and RecCenterTV.com) are here to bring you the ins and outs of the week in wrestling and the VERY long next two weekends to come! AAA is on the horizon with one of its most interesting matches that RAW can't handle. Double or Nothing is coming up this weekend! Will Jericho's team fight in a football stadium or is it just a ceremonial name? WWE is holding Saturday Night's Main Event this Saturday and Clash in Italy next Saturday. There's wrestling all around which means the Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks are here to give you all the hot and terrible takes you can handle. Will MJF keep his hairplugs? Will Darby Allin survive? (No, Seriously. We are legitimately concerned about his well-being.) Will Saturday Night's Main Event be worth our time? We hope so. All in all it's going to be a fun weekend of wrestling from both promotions! Yay! Wrasslin!

It's episode 125! Kenny Romero and "legendary" luchador Gringo Fantastico are here to bring you up to speed on WWE Backlash, Smackdown, and Monday Night Raw. Backlash was apparently so boring to him, our partner Jason Hilton still hasn't woken up to join us for this week's antics. Fantastico keeps his promise of not purchasing ESPN Unlimited as he refused to watch the PPV, but watched the highlights on social media! Raw was decent. Smackdown was not... the typical weekly dynamic. Jacob Fatu goes super unhinged and guys actually get so bored they start talking movies. Gringo rings out his distaste for filmmaker Christopher Nolan. It's unhinged because Jason wasn't here to keep it reeled in. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

It's episode 124 and your trio of jaded wrestling nerds consisting of Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador and horror host, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now and RecCenterTV.com) are here to bring you the weekly news for Wrestling throughout the US and sometimes outside of it as well. More releases happened. Some forced. Some requested. Can't blame them. Demands for talent to take massive pay cuts. No renewing of contracts. What the Hell is going on in the wrestling industry? We discuss the present and future of the business, this weekend's Backlash PPV, Monday Night Raw, Smackdown, NWA, AAA, and whatever else pops into our heads.

This week, TKO proved, once again, that they inhale vigorously. What did they do you ask? Well, they fired half the damn roster! If you didn't know about it, no worries. Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "Legendary" luchador Gringo Fantastico are here to fill you in on more bad decisions and they'll break down where they think people are going to go post WWE. Smackdown was mid (as the kids say), while RAW was actually a solid show. However, none of them can compare with what AAA had to offer this past weekend. Fantastico starts "Fantastico's Tech Corner" part of the show, while also pointing out his disdain for the majority of "dirt sheet" writers. It's a little less depressing than last week's post Wrestlemania woes. It's Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks. (That was cheesy as hell.) Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

It's post-Wrestlemania and if you didn't watch it, your HHH Podcast trio of Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" Luchador, Gringo Fantastico, are going to save you about 3 hours of ad watching to give their takes on what used to be the most spectacular night of wrestling of the year. In the span of 8 hours, over 2 nights, there were more ads and entrances than there was actual matches! Danhausen's p***s punching little people were the highlight of both nights along with a solid match between Balor's Demon and Dominick Mysterio. Oba Femi becomes the one dimensional Bill Goldberg you all asked for. The main event was pretty good as well. Monday Night Raw made up for it with slightly less ads, more wrestling, and better surprises. It was a night of greed and terrible storytelling that would have managed to get Fantastico an F in his screenwriting MFA! Maybe next week we'll just talk about MLW and NWA. Who knows? At least Ethan Page is allowed to do Ethan Page things. Check out our sarcastic, comedic, and hot takes about the biggest week in wrestling.

It's episode 121, Turtleneck is taking the night off, but Kenny Romero and Gringo Fantastico are here to deliver all the Wrestlemania and Dynasty goods you can handle! Is Pat McAfee in the right? Is Cody Rhodes in the right? Is Randy Orton in the right? Does anyone care? Kenny christens the scenario that will forever be known as the Darby Allin Equation. What are the guys predictions for Wrestlemania? Will Oba Femi defeat Brock Lesnar to make his initial run on the main roster be boring or will they do the right thing and give him a proper hero's journey. Gringo finds a way to once again rant about hating influencers. Find out what the guys think and more on this very wrestling filled episode!

Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are here this week with a very important question for the whomever is making decisions (*cough, cough* Ari whatever your name is) at WWE? Wrestlemania is only two and half weeks aways and the majority of the stories have been convoluted, misdirected, and uninspired. From McAfee showing up to be the Rock for, ruining another main event to a United States Championship match without one of the best workers you have (Ilya Dragunov), to legit injuries spreading widely, to mediocre storytelling on both of the shows, to the talent being finally fed up and doing shoot promos against the owners of the companies, your trio tries to make heads or tails out of whatever the hell is going on. Meanwhile, on the flip side, AEW is amping up for another PPV (Dynasty), this weekend, that may or may not make sense narratively, but at least the matches will be entertaining. Wrestling is weird now and the guys do their best to try to care enough to analyze it for your entertainment. Also, Gringo, Kenny, and Jason answer fan mail!

The trio of Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and a energy drink infused "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico ("Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre" on TROMA NOW) are back with another week of in-depth wrestling analytics, superb reporting, and objective criticisms! (It was difficult keeping a straight face typing that!) Gringo talks about his visit to the Squared Circle Expo and his really fun time meeting wrestlers. (Gringo says "The NWA guys were super rad!) The week in wrestling happened. The card for Wrestlemania is coming to fruition and it's looking much better than the last couple of attempts. Oba and Brock had a confrontation that made us care. Danhausen continues to be the most entertaining variable. Stephanie McMahon returns for whatever reason. Penta makes a dumb declaration. Liv and Stephanie Vaquer scuffled. Randy Orton heard another Who. More celebrities get excessive and undeserved air time. There was quite a bit to talk about on this episode with only a little over two weeks before the biggest wrestling event of the year, but they managed to still talk about things that had nothing to do with anything. We guess that's why you listen. Email your questions, if you have them, to HHandHPodcast@Proton.me and we'll try to answer them on the show!

The trio of Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW) are here to bring you the week in wrestling, headlines, and a lot of hijinks. Gringo is leaning heel with his Wrestlemania picks. Randy Orton's heel turn is discussed along with Oba's Wrestlemania chances. Steph and Liv finally make us care, while an actual decent Bullet Club gathering could be looming on the horizon. Jason holds disdain for this past week's pointless AEW Dynamite, while Kenny holds disdain for anything and everything "Speedball" Mike Bailey. The group pays homage to Chuck Norris and Dennis Condrey.
