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

This week (Episode 144), Kenny is working on his emotions—and by the end of the show, the listeners are going to make sure he talks about them. Before "Emotional Support Kenny" can fully emerge, Jason, Fantastico and Kenny have plenty to fight about, starting with playoff foul-ball etiquette and Max Caster’s controversial TNA rap, which raises the question: what exactly did everyone expect when they handed Max Caster a live microphone and he started doing Max Caster things? Meanwhile, WWE has apparently decided that “Dude Wipes” belongs on wrestling merchandise, AEW has created something called Clockwork Carnage that the guys att...

It's episode 143 of Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks and Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW and RecCenterTV.com) are here to break it down! Somewhere between Beverly Hills and a ladder match, professional wrestling has completely lost the plot—and naturally, the guys have thoughts. This week, the crew wades through another round of questionable booking, disappearing championships, baffling creative decisions, and the increasingly strange road to Money in the Bank. There are predictions to make, grievances to air, and more than a few completely unnecessary detours through television, that new Verity mo...

It's episode 142 and the guys are here with another recap from this week's RAW and before. Jason, Kenny, and Gringo pay tribute to PAC, one of the greatest wrestlers of modern times. Unfortunately, Steven Borden's proves that gravity always prevails, which inspires Gringo and Jason to give insight on their own early career ring mistakes. All Out is reviewed and discussed alongside this week's WWE Smackdown and this past Monday Night Raw on Ad-Flix. Gringo gives his unexpected opinion on Randy Orton's promo on Smackdown. Gringo goes nuclear about WWE's misuse of Big Cass and his jobbing out to people...

Hola, hip, cool Fantasticats! It's time for another episode of Headlines Headlocks and Hijinks. Episode 141 to be exact... and it's time for the Counter-Programming Wars as this Saturday AEW's All Out goes head to head with TKO's WWE's AAA's World's Collide! Not only are they going to head to head on the same night but they are taking place miles from one another in Chicago. The giant corporate and usually flaccid TKO member is going to attempt to take a swing at AEW's slowly growing member. I know that's gross, but the damn comparison is the truth! Let's see who...

Hola, hip, cool Fantasticats! It's time for a brand new episode of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks." We took last week off because I (Fantastico) got smacked in the face with one of the worst sinus infections imaginable, and because Turtleneck's Prince Charming (Taylor Swift) didn't come to his rescue and wake him with a kiss. (Sorry, Turtleneck). Anywho, we're back with an extra long episode to make up for it with this revitalized luchador (which means I'm probably much more annoying than usual), the sharp-witted and awake Jason Hilton, and the guy that punches up our jokes with his feelings...

It's Episode 139 of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks!" AEW's All In happened this past Sunday and WWE will need to step up! Will they at this Sunday's "Sunday's Night Main Event?" Probably not, but we can hope. WWE has booked themselves into a real problem as the winner of the luchador tournament has been crowned and who knows what will happen if Penta doesn't win in Mexico... Riot City! No one would blame them for it. Will TKO book this like idiots or will they do the right thing and give everyone in Mexico what they want to see. Probably not...

It's episode 138 and the trio is back for another round of hot takes and ridiculousness. Right off the bat they pay tribute to life of Dolly Parton by giving interesting facts and Gringo giving us his favorite Dolly movie moment. Then it's on to talk AEW's flagship PPV, "All In." The guys give their predictions for the big event and the reasoning behind them. Then it's on to WWE-Ville. Smackdown was there. RAW was pretty good with a VPN and VERY limited ads. Who advanced in the tournament to job to Roman Reigns? What antics will Solo Sikoa do this...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Kenny Romero, Jason Hilton, and "legendary" luchador and horror host, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW) are back this week to talk AEW Revolution resolutions, WWE's weekly shows, and complete and utter randomness involving the Oscars. Gringo finally agrees to give Sinner's a shot because he marks out for Delroy Lindo on every other movie he's in. Randy Orton goes full blow heel on Cody Rhodes for whatever reason. That was... a choice. Smackdown was lackluster, while Monday Night Raw had a few good matches. Meanwhile, on the AEW side, Adam Page gets stabbed through the mouth, we...

This week we discuss this past weekend's Elimination Chamberhausen including Seth Rollinshausen's big return, Rhea Ripleyhausen's huge Chamber win. AJ Leehausen toppling Becky Lynchausen for the IC title. And of course Danhausen's debut which had some people confusedhausen, some ecstatichausen, and some angryhausen with the way they handled it (That was Gringohausen, by the way!). Monday Night Raw had a couple bangers for matches with Dragon Lee vs Gunther and...

Oh boy! What a week! From Vince McMahon legit trying to buy back the WWE from Endeavor with Saudi backers to Shelly Martinez's take on the Janel Grant craziness and being completely taken out of context, this has been a crazy week. Bronson Reed is out indefinitely. Who do you replace the Brons with... Ricky Saints? Ethan Page? Royce Keys? The booking plans have clearly been turned upside down and the trio consisting of horror host and retired indie wrestler, "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on TROMA NOW), Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero are here to give their...

Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are at it again this week to talk wrestling. The Elimination Chamber is lurking in the distance future and choices were made.

Well... the Royal Rumble happened. "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico, Jason Hilton, and Kenny Romero give their takes on what could possibly the worst Rumble in history on this three hour episode of the pod. A lack of surprises (aside from Royce Keys and Brie Bella) mixed with empty seats and numb crowd responses didn't help, but neither did the booking (except for Mr. Iguana and La Parka). Fantastico manages to curb his nuclear anger (for the most part), while Jason and Kenny provide calm articulate takes on what went down in Saudi Arabia. Monday Night Raw started off strong, but...

It's Royal Rumble week and the trio of horror host, "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now), Kenny Romero, and Jason Hilton are here to bring you their predictions for the big event taking place this Saturday, January 31st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
