* Wrestling/{{Christian}}'s The Peeps Show

* Wrestling/{{Beulah McGillicutty}} had [[{{Double Entendre}} "Beulah's Box"]] in ECW.

* A Moment of Bliss, hosted by [[Wrestling/AlexaBliss Alexa Bliss]] and [[Wrestling/NikkiCross Nikki Cross]], WWE's first talk show with fists with a female presenter on the main roster.

* A show hosted by Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} called The Cutting Edge, ended with his guest, [[{{Wrestling/Batista}} Batista]], Power Bombing him in response to Edge taunting him by arranging to have the lights go off in the arena, as if Wrestling/TheUndertaker were entering, even though he wasn't.

* The Abraham Washington Show starring Abraham Washington on ECW. Notable for having Tony Atlas in the Ed [=McMahon=] position (and laugh), and for putting an APPLAUSE sign on the Titan Tron when Abe gets introduced.

* [[Wrestling/JessicaKresa ODB]] had "Talkin' Trash With ODB'' in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]].

* [[Wrestling/JessicaKresa ODB]] had "Talkin' Trash With ODB]] in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]]

* Wrestling/{{Beulah McGillicutty}} had [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "Beulah's Box"]] in ECW.

Was incredibly popular in the early 90s, when just about every heel in {{Wrestling/WWE}} got one.

* The UWF had Wrestling/{{Captain Lou| Albano}}'s Corner

* In an episode of Wrestling/ChrisJericho's show, The Highlight Reel, Wrestling/JeffHardy responded to Jericho's bragging by hitting him with a Twist of Fate. Strangely enough, for all the ridiculous lampshading it gets, the "Obscenely Expensive Jeritron 5000" had yet to be used in a violent confrontation -- until the final edition, where Jericho committed a FaceHeelTurn and sent Wrestling/ShawnMichaels through it, paralleling a years ago scene where Michaels' singles career took off after he basically did this (with a barbershop window) to Marty Jannetty.

* In 1986, Adrian Adonis began using an effeminate "cross-dresser" gimmick and began hosting a segment called "The Flower Shop." The violence came when Roddy Piper came to shut the Flower Shop down. After a week of threats against one another, both The Flower Shop and Piper's Pit sets were set up ... and Adonis got a temporary victory by (with the help of Wrestling/DonMuraco and Bob Orton) destroying Piper.

* The Brother Love Show

This is very frequent in ProfessionalWrestling. Say Promotion A doesn't have enough actual wrestling to fill the entire show, what do they do? 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 chairs, or a couch, in the ring and the host simply runs his mouth.

* Averted by the Wrestling/{{Aksana}} show, which once lead into a match but was free of fist fights while in progress.

The thing about these talk shows is that they seem to always end violently. Usually the host calls out a wrestler and 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.

* Parodied in the WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail183.html yes, wrestling]], where Strong Bad sets up one of these apparently for the sole purpose of hitting Homestar with a folding chair.

* Wrestling/{{Beulah McGillicutty}} had "Beulah's Box" in ECW.

* [[Wrestling/TheMiz Miz TV]] by, um, Alex Riley?

Not to be confused with ''[[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]]'', ''[[Series/TheJeremyKyleShow]]'', and their ilk.
