Welcome to TakeDown, the pro wrestling hot-take show where we don't give half takes. In this episode, Paul Fontaine and Garrett Gonzales deep dive into the biggest topics in wrestling.
First up: The shocking news of Hulk Hogan's passing has the wrestling world buzzing. But did AEW make a mistake by not doing an in-memoriam for the Hulkster, especially given his complicated legacy and Tony Khan's past comments? We break down the reactions, the history, and whether it was a missed opportunity or the right call for All Elite Wrestling.
Then, it's the ultimate format debate! WWE has embraced the two-night Premium Live Event (PLE) model, while AEW's pay-per-views are known for their longer, single-night marathons. Which format truly benefits the fans and the product? We're weighing the pros and cons, from fan fatigue to match quality, and telling you which we'd rather watch.
Finally, the million-dollar question: Can AEW grow its audience beyond its current passionate fanbase? With recent viewership trends, we're looking at what's working, what's not, and the strategies AEW needs to implement to truly expand its reach in the competitive wrestling landscape. Is a new streaming deal enough? Can new talent push them to the next level?
