John LaRocca and I are back on the Fight Game Podcast.

We open up the show talking about Jon Moxley and The Blade and how we’re rooting for them and sending nothing but good thoughts their way. I tell the story of how I started doing podcasts with Jon over a year ago.

We then look back at Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite and talk about the positives which included CM Punk’s interview, Cody Rhodes vs. Andrade, as well as the MJF and Darby Allin segment. We also talk about the few things we didn’t like about the show.

Then we reviewed NXT, which didn’t have a lot of positives and included what maybe is the most cringeworthy segment on a wrestling TV show this year.

On this week’s episode of The Fight Game Podcast, John LaRocca and I talk about the Friday Night War.

It was WWE SmackDown and AEW Rampage going head-to-head for thirty minutes, but just as interesting were the maneuvers behind getting to the competition in the first place.

We quickly go into NXT, but focus the rest of the show on AEW’s Saturday Dynamite show featuring Bryan Danielson vs. Bobby Fish in the main event. We talk about our likes and dislikes on what was an entertaining show, especially coming after a strong night of wrestling on Friday.
