| 6/17/26 | Unintentional Comedy Writing | 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!!!! | — | ||||||

| 2/11/26 | It's Smiley the Luchador! | In this very to the point and aptly named episode, Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "Legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico are joined by the most psycho of all luchadors, Smiley! The guys grill him about his career and talk a little about the week in wrestling. Headlines are discussed. The Stuporbowl (Yes, I spelled that incorrectly on purpose) is discussed. With Smiley on board, we dive into the indie wrestling world to discuss fun stories, meaningful occurrences, and how one super rad luchador (that doesn't detest Fantastico... yet) brings it to the table! | — | ||||||
| 2/4/26 | Royal Rumble Grumble | 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 managed to go downhill quickly. This weekend and Monday was like the end of Empire Strikes Back. | — | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | The 2026 Royal Rumble Prediction Show | 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. How weird? The guys break down their picks to win it all, their favorite past Royal Rumble moments, their predictions for the actual final four versus their dream final four! Will Gringo's wish for Karrion Kross' return come true? Will Cody Rhodes finally flip his lid and become the evil Homelander Cody we all want and deserve? Find out on this week's episode. It's crazy. It's stupid. But, at least, it's informative. Don't forget to subscribe and rate us! If you want us to read your email to us on air, just throw it to us at HHandHPodcast@proton.me! We love getting them! | — | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | Samoan Dynasty w/special guest Ophidian the Cobra | On episode 109 of "Headlines, Headlocks, and Hijinks," former indie wrestling superstar and Fantastico's arch nemesis, the master of Snake Style, Ophidian the Cobra (Chikara and more) stops by for a chat. The group of Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and horror host, "legendary" luchador, Gringo Fantastico (Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre on Troma Now) discusses the current state of wrestling, the upcoming Royal Rumble, Darby Allin's version of Death Wish, and the week in WWE! They answer listener mail and dive into the ins and outs of the Samoan dynasty in wrestling, while Gringo adds in all Pacific Islanders for inclusivity! You'll pay for the whole seat but you'll only need the edge!!!! | — | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | Road to the Royal Rumble | The sleep deprived Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador and horror host, Gringo Fantastico ("Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre" on Troma Now) are here for another ridiculous episode of analyzing the week in wrestling! With Gringo's favorite event of the year, the Royal Rumble, coming up soon, he begins is assessments of what should and shouldn't be done... with much disdain. The guys briefly discuss luchadors, the NFL Playoffs, and factions! They debate the state of the women's division in wrestling and the effect on the Rumble. Most importantly, they break down the WWE events of the week, beginning with a shockingly decent Smackdown that continued into a mild and mediocre Monday Night Raw! Thank you for the continued support! Please rate and subscribe! | — | ||||||
| 1/7/26 | The Top 20 of 2025! | The trio is reunited as Jason Hilton, Kenny Romero, and "legendary" luchador and horror host Gringo Fantastico (Troma NOW's "Fantastico Disasterpiece Theatre") bring you their top 20 wrestlers of 2025 lists! The first Monday Night Raw of 2026 is discussed. Is there a lot of left turns about movies and other sports? What do you think? Please rate, comment, and subscribe! | — | ||||||
| 12/31/25 | Head Trauma, a World's End, and a New Year | It's episode 106! The trio is flying as a duo on this end of year episode of the pod. Jason Hilton is out for a night of debauchery, so fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) "Legendary" luchador Gringo Fantastico is at the helm along with the always hilarious Kenny Romero to keep him grounded. The guys discuss this past Saturday's AEW World's End PPV, what the future holds for WWE, Joe Hendry's hopeful escape from joke booking bubble, and how you will now have to deal with YouTube's ads and BS to get your classic WWE content. After a scary bump by Kyle Fletcher at World's End, the guys touch on the head trauma debate that has been brought to the forefront by many wrestlers on social media after a heartfelt and concerned tweet from William Regal. | — | ||||||
