Duan and Robert Silva join GG on part two of our two-part boxing podcast. Part one went up over the weekend. If you missed it, it was about Amir Khan's fight against Samuel Vargas as well as the future of Manny Pacquiao. You can find that here: https://soundcloud.com/fightgamepod/khan-vs-vargas-manny-pacquiao-ep-37a

In part two, we preview Canelo vs GGG 2 and try and hit all the angles on this one.

We talk about:

- Canelo's drug test failure for Clenbuterol which postponed the fight and how silly it was

- Did the drug stuff hurt the hype for the second fight?

- Who needs this more?

- Our predictions

We then change topics and talk about the boxing landscape at large with major promotors signing big TV and streaming deals. We wonder what other mega fights are out there. I then ask the fellas which boxers they would steer new fans toward.

Wrestling booker extraordinaire John LaRocca returns to the Fight Game Podcast in what we hope will be a weekly appearance.

The fellas first talk about the death of Burt Reynolds and what it means to their generation. Burt did do one specific big pro wrestling show.

They then talk about some of the news coming out of All In, including Marty Scurll's interview about why his match went over and who is to blame. John talks about the one time he got to be Kimchee for Kamala, as the guys talked about how hard it might be for guys who like to go over their entire match in the back to work with an old veteran.

They then review the first episode of the Mae Young Classic on the WWE Network. They talk about the sameness in the production from last year's show, the announce teams, and how they could spice it up a bit. They then talk about Tegan Nox and what was supposed to happen for her, Rhea Ripley's new badass heel character, Lacey Lane's small woman/big woman match against Vanessa Kraven, and Meiko Satomura's strong showing against Killer Kelly.

They go over the possible return of Shawn Michaels against the Undertaker and what would be dream matches against Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles.

Lastly, they talk about what John is watching these days outside of the normal stuff that everyone else is watching. His pick for the week is MLW Fusion's 20th episode featuring Filthy Tom Lawler and Jake Hager (Jack Swagger) in the main event. You can watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkOmmKH7mHA.

Wrestling booker extraordinaire John LaRocca returns to the Fight Game Podcast to help GG recap All In.

They first talk about the event as a whole, how it looked on TV, its availability, and the means to watch the show. This thing didn't entirely come off without a hitch for viewers.

They then talk about the first hour, called Zero Hour, which was broadcasted on WGN and included two matches.

They then talk about the entire PPV and go down all the matches. Here's what's included in that discussion:

- Billy Gunn's a nice guy

- Match times and whether some matches were too long

- The opener and if the Zero Hour opener would've been better for the PPV

- Whether the women's four way was as good as the live crowd reacted

- John Mayer being at the show

- The presentation of the NWA title match

- The craziness of Joey Janela and Adam Page and how the silliness of Joey Ryan took some of the craziness away

- Jay Lethal as Randy Savage

- Being spoiled by Kenny Omega matches

- Chris Jericho's surprise

- Marty Scurll as a heavyweight

- Fantastic work in the main event

Wrestling booker extraordinaire John LaRocca returns to the Fight Game Podcast to continue the G1 Climax 28 discussions.

First, they discuss the ROH/NJPW show from Madison Square Garden during WrestleMania weekend called G1 Supercard. Presale tickets went on sale and it's looking like it will be a sellout. The guys talk about whether Cody Rhodes, the Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega would possibly go back to WWE, or continue to do their own thing. John booked Cody while working for APW and gives his thoughts about what he thinks Cody could do.

The fellas then go over nights 13-16 of the G1. They also go over all the scenarios for the A and B block. John is passionate about the night sixteen angle with the Tongans and Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi. GG is also passionate (though not nearly as much) about Kazuchika Okada's match with Minoru Suzuki.

They go over the best matches of the past four nights, including the classic one between Omega and Tomohiro Ishii. They have qualms with it, and do explain.

They talk about their top 10 best matches of the tournament so far before breaking down the past five nights and looking forward to the rest of the tournament.

Wrestling booker extraordinaire John LaRocca returns to the Fight Game Podcast to continue the G1 Climax 28 discussions. The fellas went over the first four shows last time and go over the next three this time.

In addition to the G1 talk, they discuss their nerdy wrestling fandom as kids, which included "scouting talent" for WWF and WCW and trying to predict which newcomers would be main eventers.

The guys talk about Kazuchika Okada making Adam Page in their match on night five. They talk about Hiroshi Tanahashi's greatness. John talks about the "indy" in some of the matches. They try and figure out where the angle with the Tongans is going and how it could lead to a match possibly in Long Beach.

They break down the bracket and look forward to the next several shows.

Before they get off, they talk about Matt Riddle and where he goes as well as WWE's announcement of their all-women's Evolution PPV. John wants to book Charlotte vs Ronda Rousey for WrestleMania and shows how they can kick start it at that show.

Wrestling booker extraordinaire John LaRocca joins GG to talk about the first four nights of G1 Climax 28.

But first, they talked about their kids and how being a father relates to their wrestling fandom. John then talked about what it was like seeing his good friend Jeff Cobb wrestle for the Never Openweight championship at the G1 Special at the Cow Palace.

The guys talk about their favorite matches so far, what they think of the interference in the matches, what they think about the younger guys in the tournament, and ultimately, who will win the entire thing.

The Fight Game Podcast is back. Jason Hagholm joins GG to talk about WWE's latest Network special, Extreme Rules. It was a pretty flat show overall, though there were a couple of good matches. But there was more bad than good and the fellas go deep into the flaws.

They also discuss:

- The earlier start time which fooled Jason

- Hulk Hogan's return to WWE

- Jonathan Coachman's horrendous announcing

- Asuka as the dumb babyface

- Nut shots

- Kevin Owens' Mick Foley-esque fall

- Bobby Lashley being indestructable

- The fans being angry at Roman Reigns for no reason

- Ronda Rousey's olympic level speed

- The faulty logic of the main event

Before the fellas discuss the show, GG talks about the second night of New Japan's G1, his stint as a guest host on Wrestling Observer Radio, and Manny Pacquiao's dominant win.

GG is joined by Draven to talk about some pro wrestling topics, but also about his new podcast about the history of pro wrestling.

Before they get to what the podcast is about, they talk about the death of Bruno Sammartino and what he meant to pro wrestling. Draven is a pro wrestling history buff and he takes everyone through Sammartino's run and why wrestling was so different during this time frame. The guys compare and contrast his era to how wrestling works today.

They then preview Friday's WWE Network show from Saudi Arabia, the Greatest Royal Rumble. They talk about the political ramifications of the show and why folks should probably be more up in arms about it than they are. They go through the entire card and discuss why Roman Reigns is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Lastly, they go through Draven's new podcast project which will be hosted on the Fight Game Podcast network. Draven's goal is to walk listeners through wrestling history. If it's anything like his thoughts on Bruno, it will be a really good listen.
