This episode of Takedown is almost entirely given over to Pac. Paul Fontaine runs down his top five Pac moments across a career that spanned Dragon Gate, WWE, and AEW, while Garrett Gonzales shares a story about seeing Pac live in person just recently. The guys also go back to the very beginning of their own fandom, remembering the first time they each watched him wrestle.Along the way, Garrett and Paul work through his overall career — the high-flying independent scene run, his Adrian Neville/Neville years and Cruiserweight Championship reigns in WWE, and the AEW run that made him a two-time double champion and a fixture of Death Triangle and later the Death Riders — celebrating what made him one of the most respected in-ring workers of his generation.Fight Game Media on our website: https://www.fightgamemedia.comThe Fight Game Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fight-game-podcast-pro-wrestling-mma-boxing/id1594255707The Fight Game Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4IpirI4FyHQA3BRMhwei5X?si=37d71307660d4e68 Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

They talk about the brutal three-way ladder match that saw the Young Bucks become the first four-time AEW World Tag Team Champions over Copeland and Christian Cage and FTR, and how much all six men put their bodies through.Plus: Dani Luna&#39;s &#34;surprise&#34; debut against TBS Champion Persephone, Thekla earning a WrestleDream shot at Mercedes Moné, Okada vs. Ciampa, the Chicago Street Fight, the Trios Title match, Andrade vs. PAC and where AEW&#39;s storylines are focused coming out of All Out.Follow The Fight Game Podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so every new episode lands in your feed, and watch the shows on the Fight Game Media YouTube channel.Website: <a href="https://www.fightgamemedia.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.fightgamemedia.com/</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@FightGameMedia" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@FightGameMedia</a>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fight-game-podcast/id1594255707" rel="nofollow">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fight-game-podcast/id1594255707</a>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4IpirI4FyHQA3BRMhwei5X?si=c035985e950142f8" rel="nofollow">https://open.spotify.com/show/4IpirI4FyHQA3BRMhwei5X?si=c035985e950142f8</a>GG on Twitter/X: <a href="https://x.com/roheblius" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/roheblius</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales dig into the Kevin Owens and CM Punk feud ahead of their August 21 Undisputed WWE Championship match in Toronto. The promos have leaned hard into 20 years of legitimate independent-scene history between the two, with Owens airing out how Punk treated him back in their ROH days — but the guys ask the real question: can the actual match live up to that level of personal, shoot-style promo work, or is this a case of the build outpacing the payoff?From there, they head to NJPW, where first-time finalists Ryohei Oiwa and Yuya Uemura closed out the G1 Climax 36, with Oiwa submitting Uemura to win it all and immediately call his shot for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at King of Pro-Wrestling in October. Garrett and Paul debate whether crowning two new names in the final is a real sign NJPW can finally build fresh stars.Next up, AEW&#39;s brand new Continental Challenge Cup — the blind-draw tournament feeding into the Continental Classic, with a stacked field including Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O&#39;Reilly, Roderick Strong and Nigel McGuinness, wrapping at All In London on August 30. The guys ask whether bolting a qualifying tournament onto the front of the Continental Classic dilutes what made the original round robin feel special.They close on WWE Raw, where Solo Sikoa turned on Roman Reigns and The Bloodline to align with LA Knight, spiking Reigns and helping demolish the group on the August 17 go-home show after the trio&#39;s win at SummerSlam. Garrett and Paul weigh in on whether Solo and LA Knight actually have what it takes to be legitimate babyface main eventers on the Raw side, or if this is a short-term rub before the next swerve.Fight Game Media on our website: https://www.fightgamemedia.comFight Game Media on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4IpirI4FyHQA3BRMhwei5X?si=24304a735a124815Fight Game Media on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fight-game-media-network/id1594255707 Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone break down the final block action of the G1 Climax, debating whether New Japan advanced the right wrestlers into the semifinals.

Plus, Steven continues tracking Hiroyoshi Tenzan&#39;s career as his retirement match draws near, and one wrestling move&#39;s name leaves Steven questioning his own sanity.

Swerve Strickland Returns, MJF Wins Casino Gauntlet Spot: AEW Dynamite Las Vegas Recap | The Dynamite Show

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine open by asking a question that might be a little early to ask: is the Bloodline story dead? Solo Sikoa&#39;s loss to Jey Uso means he&#39;s forced back into the fold, and with Zilla Fatu reportedly on the way to join Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, and the Usos, the guys debate whether WWE is smartly evolving the saga or stretching a well past its best days. From there, they shift to AEW, where Will Ospreay just battled Mark Davis in a brutal street fight at Grand Slam Mexico off the back of his Owen Hart Cup win at Forbidden Door — and the hosts ask whether AEW is running him into the ground before his AEW World Championship shot at All In. They also spotlight Solo Sikoa&#39;s surprising comedic turn, from the &#34;Solo Dolo&#34; nickname to mocking Jey&#39;s Yeet at SummerSlam, and why it&#39;s landing so well with fans and locker room alike. The show also breaks down the logjam atop SmackDown&#39;s men&#39;s division, with Kevin Owens emerging as the new number one contender to CM Punk&#39;s WWE Championship and Randy Orton&#39;s shocking return crowding the top of the card with former World Champions ahead of their showdown in Toronto on August 21. They close by putting MJF&#39;s All In build to the test — after attacking Andrade El Idolo at Grand Slam Mexico and setting up a Casino Gauntlet qualifier, Garrett and Paul debate whether it&#39;s enough of a spotlight for AEW&#39;s most valuable heel.

Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins dig into the spectacle of Grand Slam Mexico from Mexico City, a show scheduled for two and a half hours that ran just under three as the card delivered moment after moment. Kyle Fletcher retained the International Championship against Speedball Mike Bailey in what both hosts call an amazing match, and Will Ospreay closed the show with a bloodbath street fight win over Mark Davis in the main event. The night carried extra weight as Adam Copeland and Chris Jericho each wrestled in Arena Mexico in what could be the final matches of their careers there, with both visibly emotional in the moment. Paul and Jeff also break down the shocking return of MJF, who attacked Andrade El Idolo immediately after Andrade won the number one spot in the Casino Gauntlet at All In, setting up new intrigue heading forward. Elsewhere, the newly formed team of Brodido and Hangman Page captured the AEW World Trios Championship from The Demand.
