Garrett Gonzales

The Fight Game Media Network is home to five weekly podcasts, plus weekly bonus shows. We cover pro wrestling, mixed martial arts, and even delve into boxing now and again for the big fights. You can find all of our content at https://www.fightgamemedia.com/.

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine dig into WWE's premium live event booking patterns, tracking every PLE over the past two and a half years to see who WWE actually leans on. Cody Rhodes has worked 23 of the last 30 PLEs, and the promotion's true main-event tier hasn't dipped below 14 appearances each in that stretch. Garrett and Paul break down what that concentration says about WWE's trust in its top of the card — and whether it's smart star management or a warning sign of thin depth behind the leading names.

From there, the guys turn to Sunday's AEW Redemption at the Bell Centre in Montreal, running through the entire card top to bottom:

Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight — AEW World Championship
Thekla vs. Willow Nightingale — AEW Women's Championship
Kyle Fletcher vs. Bandido — AEW International Championship
Mark Davis vs. Andrade El Idolo — AEW National Championship
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. Claudio Castagnoli & Pac — AEW World Tag Team Championship
Hikaru Shida vs. Maya World — TBS Championship
Will Ospreay & Jon Moxley vs. The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)
"The Painmaker" Chris Jericho vs. Tommaso Ciampa — No Holds Barred

Predictions, dark horse picks, and what a win means for each title picture heading out of Redemption.

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine question why Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight is main-eventing Redemption, a match that's landed on a card with little buzz behind it. They unpack whether AEW has set this main event up to underwhelm and what the lack of momentum says about the promotion's current direction.

The pair then shift to WWE, calling out the continued elevation of Austin Theory and Maxxine despite neither proving they belong in top spots, while a true main-event talent in Bron Breakker gets left on the shelf. Garrett and Paul break down the pattern behind WWE's booking choices and what it would actually take to get Breakker the push he's earned.

Jeremy Finestone rounds out the episode with a full G1 Climax breakdown, walking through the block standouts before all three make their picks for who takes home the tournament.

New Japan Pro Wrestling's G1 Climax is underway, and Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone dive straight into the fallout from opening night. The two hosts finally crossed paths in person at the G1 Climax's Chicago show, and they bring that firsthand energy into a full breakdown of how the tournament kicked off — who impressed, who's already facing an uphill block, and what the results signal for the rest of the summer.

The conversation turns to Shota Umino's injury, digging into what it means for his tournament run and the bigger question hanging over the promotion: what is NJPW getting right in how it's handling the situation, and where is it falling short? Steven and Jeremy break down the fallout as the G1's biggest stretch approaches.

They close by looking ahead to the G1 Climax's return to Japan, previewing the shows that will define the tournament as the block stages heat up.

New Japan Pro Wrestling news, G1 Climax results, and the latest on Shota Umino's injury — all in this episode of Speaking of Strong Style.

Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins kick off the show discussing why AEW isn't selling more tickets to recent shows and whether the company is really as hot as people assume. Then they break down a card that seemed to come together last minute but delivered one of the longest overruns in company history. Kyle Fletcher retained his International Championship over Komander, setting up a PPV title defense against Bandido. Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay set the table for their All In main event while also introducing Kevin Knight as a title challenger for Redemption. Cope and Cage defended the tag titles against Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta in a match that ended in a brawl involving the Dogs, more Death Riders, and the Bang Bang Gang. Mercedes teamed with the Divine Dominion to beat Willow Nightingale, Hyan, and Maya World in the main event, and the Brawling Birds declared for the AEW Women's World Tag Team titles.

Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone break down the latest from New Japan Pro Wrestling. They review two Korakuen Hall shows headlined by Tiger Mask's retirement and Gabe Kidd's brutal beatdown of Shota Umino, then debate whether Hiroshi Tanahashi is building toward one last run or letting ego steer NJPW's booking. The back half is a full G1 Climax preview, mapping out each competitor's role in the tournament and weighing who's best positioned to hand IWGP Champion Yota Tsuji a loss - and whether that win could set up a title shot.

Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins dig into the biggest story in AEW: Kenny Omega dethroning MJF for the AEW World Title with an assist from Will Ospreay. Why did the title change hands now, where does Omega go from here, and what's next for MJF? Paul and Jeff break it all down.

Then they run through a newsworthy episode of AEW Dynamite from Clearwater, including Willow Nightingale's returning from injury to win the Casino Gauntlet match and earn a shot at Thekla's AEW Women's World Title, Mercedes Mone aligning with the Divine Dominion, Kyle Fletcher dethroning Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW International Title, and Tommaso Ciampa picking up a win over Chris Jericho in their first-ever match.

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine break down the biggest stories in wrestling this week. Did CM Punk beating Sami Zayn for the WWE Championship hit as hard as it should have? They dig into the crowd reaction and the build leading up to it, then contrast how WWE handles its veteran stars versus AEW's approach to legacy talent. Plus: is Kenny Omega actually walking out of his next title match as AEW World Champion, or is this all just a setup for a rematch at Redemption?

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine break down the biggest wrestling weekend of the year. Sami Zayn wins the WWE Championship at Night of Champions — and what that means going forward. Oba Femi wins King of the Ring and immediately turns down his title match in favor of a Hell in a Cell with Brock Lesnar. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns is set for SummerSlam. Plus: where does Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay land in the Match of the Year conversation? The Mercedes and Maya World discourse explained. And Paul makes his case for why Kenny Omega vs. Zack Sabre Jr. didn't hit for him the way it did for everyone else.

Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone cover all the latest from New Japan Pro Wrestling. They break down a fun Korakuen Hall show highlighted by a junior heavyweight contenders match and two G1 qualifiers, discuss Aaron Wolf's standout performance and why separating him from House of Torture is essential, and mourn the absence of Taichi from this year's G1.

Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins recap a loaded go-home edition of AEW Dynamite — 8 matches, but not a lot of build for Forbidden Door — and then preview Sunday's PPV. The show ended with a wild brawl between Team MJF and Team Briscoe, capped off by Mark Briscoe hitting the Jay Driller on MJF after a miscommunication with Andrade. Also on the show: Konosuke Takeshita defended the AEW International Championship against Ricochet, Queen Aminata and Harley Cameron punched their tickets into next week's Survival of the Fittest TBS title match, Zack Sabre Jr. picked up a win over Jack Perry ahead of his match with Kenny Omega on Sunday, and the Death Riders opened the show with four straight matches.

Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine are frustrated. WWE's SmackDown title match ended with yet another non-finish, and Gunther — who beat John Cena — hasn't been booked like the star that moment called for. They break down a Night of Champions card that looks underwhelming on paper, preview the Forbidden Door card from San Jose and sort out which outcomes actually matter, and close out with some genuine hype: Aaron Wolf vs. YOSHI-HASHI was a banger, and Wolf might be making a case for rookie of the year in 2026.

The Running Man (1987) has one of the most fight-game-stacked casts in Hollywood history, and most people don't even realize it. On this episode of Popcorn & Piledrivers, we break down every connection — Jesse "The Body" Ventura as the retired Stalker champion, Professor Toru Tanaka as the hockey-armored Subzero, Jim Brown (NFL Hall of Famer and the voice of UFC 1) as Fireball, Kurt Fuller two years before No Holds Barred, and Erland van Lidth — an actual NCAA heavyweight wrestling runner-up and Olympic alternate — as the opera-singing Dynamo.

We also cover the chaotic production history (three directors, Christopher Reeve was nearly the star), how dramatically the film differs from Stephen King's original novel and why King refused to let his name appear on the poster, how Edgar Wright's 2025 remake starring Glen Powell compares to both, and which current wrestling stars belong in a modern version of this film.

Paul Fontaine and a returning Jeff Hawkins break down an AEW Dynamite that felt more like a "standby show" — plus, they discuss why the upcoming Forbidden Door PPV is feeling a lot less "forbidden" than usual.

On this week's Dynamite from Sugar Land, TX: MJF and Mark Briscoe each pick their teams for the 12-man cage match at Forbidden Door, then square off in a 12-man tag as the show's main event. Brodido picks up a win over the Death Riders, earning Bandido a Continental Championship match against Jon Moxley. Mercedes Mone defeats Hazuki to advance to the Owen Hart Cup finals. Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay have a deeply personal in-ring confrontation ahead of their Forbidden Door showdown. And Adam Copeland and Christian Cage make their return to get revenge on the Dogs.

Paul Fontaine is joined by F4WOnline.com's Bryan Rose to break down a lackluster AEW Dynamite from Cincinnati — but the show delivered some major Forbidden Door developments. The duo start by discussing the changes made to the women's Owen Hart Cup tournament before diving into the night's action.

Jon Moxley retained the Continental Championship against Shane Taylor, with the win setting up a 5-on-5 street fight for Collision. Mark Briscoe met with Tony Khan to get the Forbidden Door main event: a 6-on-6 cage match with Briscoe and MJF picking their respective teams. Maya World subbed in for Saree and knocked off Skye Blue to advance to the women's Owen Cup semifinals. Swerve Strickland beat Brody King in the main event to punch his ticket to the men's Owen Cup final. And Zack Sabre Jr. stepped up to challenge Kenny Omega for a match at Forbidden Door.

Each wrestler in the tournament has their own story, whether it's contender, spoiler or a specific match that can advance their character's arc. Will Zack Sabre Jr. repeat? Can Shota Umino make post-block play? Will Shingo Takagi, Yota Tsuji, Gabe Kidd, David Finlay and Konnosuke Takeshita be in it until the end? Every one of these possibilities is examined, while the pair also gives its thoughts on how things should shake out through that fall into Wrestle Kingdom. Plus, they discussed Hirooki Goto's new movie role.

On this week's show, Paul Fontaine and Jeff Hawkins talk about Saturday's Grand Slam Australia and also how AEW could take some booking cues from the NHL. They then get into this week's episode of Dynamite from Phoenix which Paul could not take his usual notes for so relied on the technology of AI for assistance which it did not provide. Nonetheless, the guys managed to recall most of what happened on the show they just watched which included:

MJF and Hangman in a compelling 10 minute promo segment that went at least twice that long so reviews were mixed
An awesome street fight between Bill Bill and Powerhouse Hobbs
A match between Megan Bayne and Kris Statlander that was good but happened way too soon
An excellent piece of business involving Ricochet and Prince Nana
Orange Cassidy's return in the main event which led to a post match where we are again being asked to forget what we've seen from Mark Davis and just play along

Kenny Omega and Gabe Kidd put together a match for the ages, and the pair talked about the deep psychology in the match, and how its story impacted the crowd.

Plus, rehab wins for David Finlay over Brody King and Shota Umino over Claudio Castagnoli, a “grappling” match with no grappling between Hiroshi Tanahashi and Katsuyori Shibata, and Mercedes Mone versus Mina Shirakawa.

Mitsuharu Misawa. Toshiaki Kawada. Kenta Kobashi. Akira Taue. These were All Japan’s “Big Four” during of the 1990s, the four most influential players of the decade. English-speaking fans in 2021 have more and more often been referring to these four wrestlers as AJPW’s “Four Pillars of Heaven,” and recently, the term “four pillars” has turned into hip new short-hand for “top four wrestlers.” What’s ironic about this is that “Four Pillars of Heaven” is actually a mistranslation of the word “shitennō” (四天王). In colloquial Japanese, they’re often referred to as the shitennō of AJPW. Shitennou is a common Japanese phrase to describe the top four people, places or things within a set context. In modern English, we often share our “Mt. Rushmores” of wrestlers, the top four of (fill in the blank); “shitennō” in Japanese works the same way. So, the phrase “Four Pillars of Heaven,” which is now an accepted addition to the pro wrestling lexicon, was actually born out of a mistranslation and misinterpretation of the the original kanji characters. Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper break this down in more detail while giving the overarching backstory behind Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi and Taue. They also discuss at length how important Stan Hansen was during this period, and how important his relationships with each AJPW shittenō were.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to go over the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. This past weekend saw Bellator put on one of their biggest shows of the year and UFC had a rather ho-hum show from the Apex that became even more skippable when the main event was cancelled during the show. The guys go over both shows including Vadim Nemkov and Usman Nurmagomedov both winning Bellator world titles and Nemkov also taking home a cool million dollars for winning the light heavyweight Grand Prix. With no UFC this coming week, Ryan and Paul look at PFL's season final which will air on PPV and in the question of the week, they speculate how many buys the show will do on ESPN+. In the "We Have to Talk About" segment, the guys give out their turkeys of the year awards for 2022 in honor of American Thanksgiving. The show closes out with the news of the week including Overeem back on the gas, Edgar officially retired and Fedor's retirement on Network TV for Bellator in early 2023.

After a lackluster go-home Dynamite show, many were concerned that AEW had lost all its momentum going into the Full Gear PPV. Those fears were unfounded.

Chono forged a distinct career path over the years, traveling up and down Eastern coast of North America and throughout Germany & Austria early on, where he really began to grow into the iconic figure fans are familiar with today.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk about the week that was and is to come in the very busy world of mixed martial arts. Saturday night saw the show of the year with UFC 281 from Madison Square Garden which saw two new champions crowned and a fight of the year candidate all on the main card. The guys break that all down as well as the rest of card which was incredible from top to bottom. They then go over a hectic upcoming week with shows from various promotions all week culminating in another UFC on ESPN+ show from the Apex on Saturday afternoon headlined by Derrick Lewis and Sergey Spivak in a heavyweight fight. The card has a lot of familiar names but no real important fights and pretty much exists to fill time on the ESPN streaming service. The question of the week comes from a listener who wants to know if the guys will be watching Dana White's Power Slap League on TBS so they talk a bit about their feelings on that new company. Ryan and Paul then share their memories of Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, who passed away this weekend at the age of 38 in one of the saddest stories of the year before closing out the show with the weekly news segment featuring updates on Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones, UFC 284 in Perth and much more.

This past weekend at the Apex, we saw a new strawweight contender emerge as Amanda Lemos scored an impressive KO win on ESPN+ over Marina Rodriguez.

In the question of the week segment, the guys speculate on how Ben Askren would've done if he'd coming into UFC during his prime instead of hte end of his career and in the "We Have to Talk About Segment", the guys discuss an emerging scandal involving betting that is currently being looked into by UFC and it's regulating bodies. The news of the week features a main event for the UFC's upcoming South Korea show, the Mackhachev/Volkanovski upcoming fight being in jeopardy and Sean O'Malley looking for an interim title fight.

With strong ties to the Funk family early on, Murdoch, the man who popularized the Brainbuster and Calf-Branding, made a name for himself all throughout the US before establishing solid footing in Japan, the country that he’d actually spent the majority of his career in. From JWA to IWE and AJPW to his almost decade-long run with NJPW, both as performer and booker, Fumi & Justin looked back at some of the highpoints in Murdoch’s storied career.

In our "We Have to Talk About" segment, Ryan mentions some news that broke late Monday afternoon in which UFC fighters will no longer be permitted to wager on fights.

The talk about John Lineker's upcoming fight for One on Amazon Prime Friday night before previewing the big show of the month, UFC 280 from Abu Dabhi.

Ryan introduces a new segment called "Question of the Week" and this week, the guys discuss who should be the first opponent for Justin Gaethje when he returns in early 2023. And in the news of the week, Ryan has more on UFC 282 and the potential of a Jon Jones return with time running out to make that announcement, UFC's return to South Korea in February and Jorge Masvidal angling for a title fight.

We are replaying a previous podcast by Justin Knipper and Fumi Saito on Antonio Inoki. This is part three of a five part series on Inoki that was recorded early in 2022. There is a link to all five episodes after Justin's original summary. In the next installment of their profile series on Antonio Inoki, Fumi Saito and Justin Knipper continued covering Inoki’s full in-ring career, this time focusing on years 1974–1980. After Inoki’s (and Seiji Sakaguchi’s) NJPW and Giant Baba’s AJPW established deals with television channels, the rivalry between the two companies began heating up. Fumi and Justin talked about the hot time it was for pro wrestling Japan during the mid-’70s, the influence of television and print media at the time. The two also went over Inoki’s inventive and bloody December 1974 vs. IWA champion Strong Kobayashi, Inoki’s year-long feud with Tiger Jeet Singh, his famous hour-long bout with Karl Gotch-trainee Billy Robinson, and his series of matches with Andre the Giant. They also talked about Vince McMahon Sr.’s involvement with and appearances for NJPW at around this time, which subsequently led to NJPW and the WWWF’s 11-year working relationship. The partnership would also lead to Inoki’s international breakout bout against Muhammed Ali in what many would call the world’s first MMA fight, which Fumi and Justin also covered in detail towards the end of the show.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to go over the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. The talk of the sport this week was Bo Nickal, who earned a UFC contract on the final episode of this season's Dana White Contender Series. He couldn't have looked better and has already been booked for his UFC debut later this year on a PPV main card and Ryan and Paul talk all about it. They then go over what was a busy weekend of MMA with One on Prime Video 2 featuring Angela Lee challenging for the strawweight title in the main event and Bellator 286, headlined by a Patricio Pitbull title defence over Adam Borics. They then break down the UFC show from a closed set in Las Vegas. Mark Zuckerberg wanted to watch a UFC show and didn't want anyone around while he did it so we got a return to empty arenas for one week. At least that's the working theory since Dana White isn't talking. The show itself was good, headlined by a somewhat controversial main event which showcased some of the issues with the current scoring system as Yan Xiaonan defeated Mackenzie Dern via majority decision. The guys talk about the scoring as well as the dead atmosphere at the Apex before breaking down the rest of the card. Ryan caps things off with some news items including the announcement of Bellator lightweight Grand Prix in 2023 and a main event for the first UFC PPV in January.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to go over the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. They start of the show by talking about the career of Jose Aldo, the former UFC featherweight champion, who retired this weekend. They then break down the latest UFC show from the Apex which featured Cory Sandhagen finishing Sadong Yong in the 4th round of a pivotal fight at bantamweight. It was a great event that showed how UFC sometimes does pro wrestling better than WWE or AEW. With no UFC this coming weekend the guys talk a little bit about the Bellator show from Ireland on Friday that has absolutely no buzz, featuring Benson Henderson in the main event and Yoel Romero and Melvin Manhoef in the co-main. They close off the show with some news hits including a backup plan for UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi in case anything happens to either of the two main eventers.

It's Grand Slam week in Queens, New York, and AEW has planned one of the biggest shows of the year. It's so big, in fact, that our hosts are wondering if, between Dynamite and Rampage, Tony Khan is intentionally trying to show that he can deliver a stronger show than his last pay-per-view without the star power of CM Punk, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks. James and Kevin run down all thirteen matches, pick winners, and try to sort out whether Jon Moxley or Bryan Danielson will walk out of Arthur Ashe Stadium as the AEW World Champion. Also discussed: MJF's interviews with Ariel Helwani and Barstool Wrasslin' (and which one you should listen to) Kenny Omega pulling a Michael Scott in a locker room talent meeting The Young Bucks' new shoe deal The potential new AEW reality show - will it be the next Total Divas or a total mess?

On this week’s show, Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper talked about the history of pro wrestling schools and pro wrestling “literacy” or education over the years. From Farmer Burns’ mail-order wrestling manual to Verne Gagne’s camps run by Billy Robinson in Minnesota; from the methods of important figures like Eddie Sharkey & Brad Rhenigans to the rise of wrestling schools like the Monster Factory and all the detail in between. How did the old generation of trainers react to so many schools opening up around the US in the ’80s and ’90s? Fumi & Justin went over that and much more in this one.

Modern pro wrestling’s backstage drama has become a hotter topic than the wrestling itself. Today’s fans crave “reality” in their wrestling, something from the news to attach to the story that’s already there, the one presented by the wrestling company. Once again, “Reality” is in, and somewhat similar to how it was 25 years ago, when the Montreal Screwjob happened, when the kayfabe curtain came down off the rails and pro wrestling changed completely, and we—both the industry and the fans—became more fixated on what was fact or fiction, what the boundaries were. “What really happened?” “What did so-and-so do for that to happen?” People were skipping the entree for more tea. Modern Society sips on gossip all day. CM Punk? The AEW media scrum? The melee? “That’s so Montreal.” That’s what Fumi Saito and Justin Knipper call it now; an adjective. It’s shorthand for saying “this type of pro wrestling is, intentionally or not, blending objective reality with storyline fiction.” Join the Patreon for just $5.00 per month here: https://www.patreon.com/fightgamemedia Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fightgamemedia Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1958473677605950 Follow our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fightgamemedia Subscribe to our YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/c/FightGameMedia Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightgamemedia Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk about the week that was an is to come in the world of MMA. Other than the shows, it was kind of a slow news week so in the "We Have to Talk About" segment, Paul updates everyone on what's going on with his son and has a special message about all the support he and his family have received over the last week. They then go over a fun UFC debut in France which featured UFC booking their hometown fighters much better than WWE did for their UK show, including Cyril Gane scoring a big KO win in the main event. They then preview a somewhat lackluster UFC 279 pay per view that may end the UFC's sellout streak as it's a rare PPV without a title fight as Nate Diaz fights for the last time under his current contract against the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev. Former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson moves up to welterwight to face Li Jingliang and hopes to end a brutal losing streak he's been on the last couple of years in the co-main. Ryan had internet issues for the last portion of the show and we apologize for the technical difficulties but Paul finished off by quickly going over the news of the week.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to go over the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA on the latest episode of In the Clinch. There was no UFC this past week so the guys watched One FC on Prime Video 1, featuring Demetrious Johnson winning the ONE flyweight title over Adriano Moraes. The guys share their thoughts on the fight and the show in general and in our "We Have to Talk About" segment, they go over the trade from four years ago which brought Johnson to ONE and sent Ben Askren to UFC and speculate on who won it. They read some thoughts from the Twitterverse as well. Ryan came up with three questions for the month of the September and the last quarter of 2022 including which fights he and Paul are most looking forward to over the rest of the year. And then they went over UFC Paris, which is pretty much a two fight show with former champions in the main and co-main event squaring off against top contenders with Cyril Gane facing Tai Tuivasa and Robert Whittaker vs Marvin Vettori. Both fights have title implications and Ryan goes over them all as well as previewing the rest of the card. They close off the show by going over the news of the week including Nick Diaz getting back on Twitter and looking to fight again as well as some big fight announcements taking us through the end of the year.

Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper return with a special feature on the legendary Hiro Matsuda, one of the most influential figures in modern pro wrestling history. From his early career in Japan to his trek into the Americas to establish himself as an important mover & shaker during the territorial days of pro wrestling in the US.

In the "We Have to Talk About" segment, they discuss the big fight that was made just as last week's episode was dropped, the main event of UFC 279, which features Nate Diaz and Khamzat Chimaev in the last fight of Diaz' contract.

In lieu of Riki Choshu: Part Three, which will air next week, Write That Down! presents The Life & Times of Jumbo Tsuruta, a super-cut of the two episodes Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper did on Tsuruta last year. Part One: Fumi & Justin went in deep on the early days of Tomomi “Jumbo Tsuruta, from his early days growing up in Yamanashi prefecture on his parents’ grape & peach farm, playing basketball in high school, and his quick transition to amateur wrestling which led to him competing at the 1972 Munich Olympics. They also talked about Tsuruta’s move to pro wrestling shortly after the Olympics. Both Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki were courting the young phenom before he decided on joining All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he’d go on to become a company legend over the next few decades. They also touched on Jumbo’s early training days with the Funks in Texas, his 1984 AWA World title run, his very special rivalries with Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, the unique PWF ruleset, and his subsequent image change in the late ’80s ahead of the Super Generation Army era of the ’90s. Part Two: This episode picks up in 1985–1986, which is when Riki Choshu turned heel on Tatsumi Fujinami and left NJPW for AJPW with the rest of his ISHIN-GUN crew. It was around this time that Jumbo evolved into a type of enforcer for All Japan, as his character from the ’70s and early ’80s became bigger, gruffer and meaner. They also talked about Jumbo’s relationships to Stan Hansen and Genichiro Tenryu, two of his most important rivals, his use of the power bomb, Tenryu leaving AJPW to help form SWS, and his truly legendary Nippon Budokan match vs. a young Mitsuharu Misawa.

Ryan and Paul are back with another episode of In the Clinch covering the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. It was a quiet week so the "We Have to Talk About" segment is a discussion surrounding ONE FC debuting on Amazon Prime in August and whether or not that platform will be enough to get them any traction in the North American market. They then recap a relatively fun but meaningless show on ESPN+ this past week where Movsar Evloev dominated Dan Ige to jump into a crowded pool of featherweight contenders and Alexander Volkov cemented his status as heavyweight gatekeeper with a 1st round knockout over Jairzinho Rozenstruik. The bulk of the show is previewing UFC 275 this coming weekend from Singapore with 2 title fights and a rematch of one of 2020's fights of the year with Joanna vs Weili 2. Jiri Prochazka looks to become the 205 pound champ in the main event and Taila Santos will be Valentina's next victim at women's flyweight.

Ryan and Paul are back to recap what will likely end up being one of the best cards of the year. The UFC returned to London and it was a coming out party for Paddy Pimblett as he scored a first round submission win and 17,000 people took to song, led by head cheerleader "Meatball" Molly McCann. McCann scored a KO of the year contender earlier in the card and it was a great night for almost all of the UK fighters as there were impressive performances up and down the card. Almost lost in the shuffle was Tom Aspinall mowing down Alexander Volkov in the actual main event and cementing himself as a future title contender. The guys also look ahead to a really solid card on ESPN this coming week from Columbus with heavyweight contenders Chris Daukaus and Curtis Blaydes meeting in the main event. They also talk about all the stuff that went down this week with Conor McGregor and Kamaru Usman this week including some news on who Usman is likely to defend the welterweight title next.

Today kicks off part one of our next major profile legacy series, which focuses on Shohei Baba, known widely as Giant Baba. In this dense first episode, Fumi & Justin first talked about Baba’s experience growing up in Niigata and and the onset of his acromegaly. Later on, they went over how he and Motoko Baba met; Motoko would become his wife from when she was in her late teens until he passed, but not before years of successful promoting whom he’d later co-promote AJPW with him. After pitching for the Yomiuri Giants for five years, Baba then became one of Rikidozan’s first disciples (alongside the younger Inoki) for JWA. Baba became Rikidozan’s “Golden Ace,” and soon sent him over to the Great Togo to work all over the US and Canada regulalrly in the early 60s. We talked about Baba vs the likes of Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thesz, Fred Blassie, etc., and Baba as the barefoot heel “Baba the Giant” who’d go on to work 16 consecutive MSG shows back in the day. We also talked about his important relationship with Fred Atkins in Toronto. Questions or comments?

Part four of Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper’s profile series on Antonio Inoki has arrived. The show picks up where the two left off last time, during the mid-1970s, and finishes at around 1985 in Inoki’s career. The two went over the nature of the 11-year NJPW-WWF relationship and Inoki’s relations with Vince McMahon Sr, plus how Giant Baba, Bruno Sammartino, and “Superstar” Billy Graham fit into the picture at the time. Fumi also gives out a bit of deathmatch trivia involving Inoki and Umanosuke Ueda before diving deep into Inoki’s rivalry with former WWF World Heavyweight champion, Bob Backlund.

In the next installment of their profile series on Antonio Inoki, Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper continued covering Inoki’s full in-ring career, this time focusing on years 1974–1980. After Inoki’s (and Seiji Sakaguchi’s) NJPW and Giant Baba’s AJPW established deals with television channels, the rivalry between the two companies began heating up. Fumi & Justin talked about the hot time it was for pro wrestling Japan during the mid-’70s, the influence of television and print media at the time. The two also went over Inoki’s inventive and bloody December 1974 vs. IWA champion Strong Kobayashi, Inoki’s year-long feud with Tiger Jeet Singh, his famous hour-long bout with Karl Gotch-trainee Billy Robinson, and his series of matches with Andre the Giant. They also talked about Vince McMahon Sr.’s involvement with and appearances for NJPW at around this time, which subsequently led to NJPW and the WWWF’s 11-year working relationship. The partnership would also lead to Inoki’s international breakout bout against Muhammed Ali in what many would call the world’s first MMA fight, which Fumi & Justin also covered in detail towards the end of the show. The next episode will focus on Inoki becoming WWWF World Heavyweight champion after beating Bob Backlund, which was never recognized by the WWWF, plus his rivalries with Stan Hansen, Hulk Hogan, Bruiser Brody, Rusher Kimura and a lot more.

Mitsuharu Misawa. Toshiaki Kawada. Kenta Kobashi. Akira Taue. These were All Japan’s “Big Four” during of the 1990s, the four most influential players of the decade. English-speaking fans in 2021 have more and more often been referring to these four wrestlers as AJPW’s “Four Pillars of Heaven,” and recently, the term “four pillars” has turned into hip new short-hand for “top four wrestlers.” What’s ironic about this is that “Four Pillars of Heaven” is actually a mistranslation of the word “shitennou” (四天王). In colloquial Japanese, they’re often referred to as the shitennou of AJPW. Shitennou is a common Japanese phrase to describe the top four people, places or things within a set context. In modern English, we often share our “Mt. Rushmores” of wrestlers, the top four of (fill in the blank); “shitennou” in Japanese works the same way. So, the phrase “Four Pillars of Heaven,” which is now an accepted addition to the pro wrestling lexicon, was actually born out of a mistranslation and misinterpretation of the the original kanji characters. On today’s episode of Write That Down!, Fumi and Justin break this down in more detail while we give the overarching backstory behind Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi and Taue. We also discuss at length how important Stan Hansen was during this period, and how important his relationships with each AJPW shittenou were.
