As always, we'll break down the show and ask the most important question:

In this special episode of The It Doesn’t Matter Podcast, Dom is joined by BDC and Papi Platano to remember the life and career of PAC.

Originally, the crew was set to review AEW WrestleDream 2023, but after the heartbreaking loss of PAC, we felt this episode needed to be about him instead.

From his days as Neville and the King of the Cruiserweights in WWE to becoming The Bastard in AEW, PAC was one of the most gifted, intense and exciting wrestlers of his generation. We look back at his evolution, his unforgettable matches and rivalries, his work with Kenny Omega and The Elite, Death Triangle, the Death Riders and the impact he left on wrestling fans around the world.

We also discuss AEW’s emotional tribute show, share our favorite PAC memories and read comments from Rozay, D Holmes and Ringside about what PAC meant to them.

This isn’t a normal review. It’s three wrestling fans paying respect to someone we genuinely loved watching.

Rest in peace, PAC. The King of the Cruiserweights. The Bastard. Gone far too soon.

AEW Grand Slam 2021: Omega vs. Danielson

The It Doesn’t Matter Podcast goes back to AEW Grand Slam 2021, the first-ever Grand Slam from Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City!

Dom is joined by Strap Facts, Papi Platano, BDC, and Ringside Steve to break down the matches, revisit just how stacked AEW was in 2021, and ask the big question:

Was this peak AEW?

And of course… Does It Matter?

It’s Papi Platano’s pick, and this week we’re talking ALL THINGS JIM CORNETTE! 🎾🔥

Dom is joined by Papi Platano, Strap Facts, BDC, and special guest Eddie as we break down one of the most outspoken and controversial personalities in professional wrestling history.
