episode 412: Ep. 395: The Big Show vs. The Big Boss Man ft. Jamie Loftus
Happy Backlash weekend! The best way to celebrate is a new episode of Tights and Fights!
Hal, Danielle and Lindsey preview the card. But since it’s Backlash and is largely supposed to be a show that’s a little lower on the priority list, it’s quickly derailed by conversations of snacks.
But let’s not be too harsh: Bianca and Jade may be tag champions soon! Tiffany Stratton is back in the WWE title picture-but you know what? She probably has great taste in candy.
We’re also joined by comedian, author and podcaster Jamie Loftus. She’s written the book Raw Dog: The Naked Truth about Hotdogs and the newly launched podcast "Sixteenth Minute (of fame)." She also happens to be a huge fan of The Big Show, as she explained the last time she was on our show.
The Main Event
In 1999, The Big Show was the WWF champion. In the storyline, his father had just died. And the man who really had a problem with it was the Big Boss Man; he interrupted the ten bell salute, read a poem making fun of him and was a general menace for a few weeks.
The Three Count
Danielle put over Dwayne Johnson (allegedly) using bottles for bathrooms.
Lindsey put over a lil more wrestling x Taylor.
Hal put over obeying your parents.
Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk
Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
