This is very frequent in ProfessionalWrestling. Say Promotion A doesn't have enough actual wrestling to fill the entire show, what do they do to [[{{Padding}} fill out the time]]? Give some wrestler, often a {{Heel}} or a smart-mouthed {{Face}}, his own talk show, of course. The talk show isn't really a talk show as much as it is a few armchairs, or a couch, a rug and a coffee table plunked in the ring and the host simply runs his mouth.

The thing about these talk shows is that they seem to always end violently. Usually the host calls out a wrestler and [[FisticuffProvokingComment proceeds to either insult the wrestler directly or brag his ass off while at the same time insulting the guest. At this point, the guest's finishing move is often applied to the host's face.]] Sometimes, however, the guest decides to say something to the host and then, inexplicably, take his eye off of the host. Which is frequently followed by the host taking the guest's head off.

Was incredibly popular in the early 90s, when just about every heel in {{Wrestling/WWE}} got one. It made a resurgence amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when there was a need to make segments with fewer talents. With several stars who could put on one of these ([[Wrestling/TheMiz The Dirt]] [[Wrestling/JohnMorrison Sheet]], [[Wrestling/MontelVontaviousPorter VIP Lounge]], [[Wrestling/KevinOwens The KO Show]], [[Wrestling/NikkiCross A Moment]] [[Wrestling/AlexaBliss of Bliss]]), it wouldn't be impossible to see multiple on one TV episode.
