Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales debate just how high Will Ospreay vs. Kenny Omega ranks on this year's best-matches list, and what made it stand out beyond the wrestling itself — the pageantry and emotion around it.

From there they turn to the tag team scene: The New Level's arrival and what it means for AEW's tag division, then Penta vs. Fenix as a case study in why WWE badly needs stronger midcard wrestling. They close out on WWE's Bloodline storyline, working through where Royce Keys and OTM actually fit into it.

Garrett Gonzales and Jeremy Finestone take on Raging Bull (1980), Martin Scorsese's boxing classic starring Robert De Niro as Jake LaMotta — how the film got made, and the wild true story of the fighter it's based on.

They dig into De Niro's two-way physical transformation for the role, the making of the film with Scorsese, Paul Schrader, and cinematographer Michael Chapman, and then go deep on Jake LaMotta himself: his six-fight war with Sugar Ray Robinson, the fixed Billy Fox fight he later admitted to under oath, his middleweight title run, and his chaotic life after boxing. They also stack Raging Bull up against Rocky, cast the film with today's boxing, wrestling, and MMA stars, and hand out final grades.

In This Episode:

• The making of Raging Bull — De Niro's obsession with the role, Scorsese coming aboard, and De Niro's dramatic weight transformation
• The real Jake LaMotta: his six-fight rivalry with Sugar Ray Robinson, the fixed Billy Fox fight, and his 1949 middleweight title win
• LaMotta's life after boxing — the nightclub, his arrest, and his Kefauver Committee testimony
• Raging Bull vs. Rocky: the deal that got Raging Bull made, and the two films' very different philosophies
• Casting Raging Bull with today's boxing, wrestling, and MMA stars
• Final grades: how the film holds up as a character study, an adaptation, and a piece of fight-game history

B.J. Bethel joins Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine to break down his SEScoops report on the WWE-ESPN relationship, and it isn't pretty. Bethel details how ESPN won't be renewing its five-year, $1.6 billion deal to air WWE premium live events on the ESPN Unlimited app once the current contract expires — despite the app only launching a year ago. Bethel walks through the "culture and synergy" issues between the two companies, cable providers refusing to absorb the app's cost for subscribers, and the price hikes now hitting customers directly.

Then Garrett and Paul preview AEW All In at Wembley Stadium on August 30, sorting the entire nine-match card into "matches we care about," "matches we don't care as much about," and everything in the middle:

- Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay — AEW World Championship

- Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Moné — AEW Women's Championship

- Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada — AEW International Championship (Three-Way)

- Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks — AEW World Tag Team Championship

- Megan Bayne & Lena Kross vs. Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor — AEW Women's Tag Team Championship

- Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin — TNT Championship, Falls Count Anywhere

- Hangman Page, Bandido & Brody King's Trios Championship open challenge

- Continental Challenge Cup Final for the AEW Continental Championship

- Casino Gauntlet Match for a shot at the AEW World Championship

Paul also weighs in on CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens from last week's SmackDown in Toronto, where Sami Zayn turned on Owens to help Punk retain the Undisputed WWE Championship.
