Hearing Simon is refreshing after hearing Sidgwick spew shit for an hour 😂
I was at this show and of the AEW shows I have been to live and in person, this was probably the most enjoyable.
How was the live crowd?
@@acjuan84it wasn’t sold out by any means but the crowd was really good. The floor and lower levels were filled with some in the upper level. It’s not a huge arena but the crowd was into it.
From the spoilers it does look like Collision was a lot better than Dynamite.
@ A couple squash matches but I thought the main matches were solid for Collision.
@@moderndancingfool Yeah I’m been hearing that aew collision was more better than aew dynamite seems like Tony is making aew collision important on the level aew dynamite.
Simon Miller is the best. ❤❤❤
FACTS
Was! Not is
20:00 uh...Takeshita's been on Dynamite the last few weeks with the Don Callus Fam fighting Kenny and Ospreay; they've been building that tag team feud.
not only that.
Danny is on the upcoming collision ,TBS championship was defended this dynamite ,Takeshita vs Shibata was on last collision, The hurt syndicate won tag titles the Dynamite before that ,Okada vs Ishii was the weekend before and he will feuding with buddy Matthew, and Hobs vs Moxley was three weeks ago ,it seems that every show at least one of the titles is defended.
Although there is no long term feud for the titles, Almost All titles are regularly defended except Trios.
he literaly was on THIS episode lmao
Aew booking be like
Last week kenny vs cage, this week osprey vs cage. Last week swerve vs arfox, this week ricochet vs arfox.
Upcoming match copy paste. Yes 12 writers needed.
Y'all must love the Dallas skyline. I love that it's always the background for ups and downs 😅😅
(Not the whole skyline, but enough to notice it in the last few videos)
I hope Simon Miller is having a good day
I liked the death riders interview when they talked about why NOONE deserves to see the AEW world championship. I bet it's not even in the briefcase!
FACTS
Plot twist. He lost it at the airport. 😂
AEW on Max is on fire 🔥
I agree about the “big reveal”. But if you take the “remake of violence” story - you need to put the DR up against folks who’d benefit from getting the “toughened up” rub (as did Yuta) like… Daniel Garcia - who could easily become a Randy Orton type assassin. Private Party - unlikely which is why it would be interesting. Wardlow - as an apprentice to Claudio. My point is…. Where is the School of Mox?
That's what should be coming now the school of hard mox
@@fallonanddavidbrown6397i love it
At this point I need to the biggest fued in AEW history…Sarah the Scissors V Sally the Screwdriver! The Screwdriver gas better continuity then most! I swear Penta brought it first trying to convince Fenix to turn heel, then PAC started using it, then Kenny followed by Don, then Ospreay and now Fletcher 😂😅
Lance Archer deserves more of a push rather than Brian cage. Lance really deserves a single title by now AEW
He would be such a believable champion too.
That push ended 4 years ago.
Idk if someone already said this, but when Simon says "shenanigan flute" i hear gene wilder from willy wonka and the chocolate factory lol
I love AEW. But man, imagine having Kenny, Will, Hangman, Swerve and others but we have mox as champ hiding then belt in a briefcase beating up JJ with his crew. Just have Cristian cash in and take the belt so we can eventually put it on an ace.
I think Mox was supposed to mimic Tribal Chief by manipulating midcard and main eventers alike to challenge for the title but somewhere along the line he became the always-a-distraction-in-me-matches Roman Reigns rather than the Karrion Kross-esque manipulator.
I too was at the show and it was INCREDIBLE!
maybe Tony Khan should emply Simon as head of creative or head booker
OMG!!! PLEASE TK MAKE SIMON MILLER OUTRUNNER #3!!! THIS WOULD BE AMAZING!!
Sure cause TK will be watching ups and downs will randomly come across yor comment and be like thats a great idea
@schiestymcfadeacon why are you like this? Do you think they actually think that's gonna happen? Do you think they typed this because they would like to see that happen or because they think they can personally influence TK?
Have a great day Simon
Simon, Deonna and Taya were talking about Harley Cameron. I reckon Harley beats both of them in the next couple of weeks and gets her title match at Grand Slam Australia.
Good morning, Simon!
Simon is never beating the shill allegations with how much he takes time out of the video to deflect online criticism of AEW.
Not an awesome show but it was solid. 5 downs.. Simon must have went on a date with negative Nancy last night
Swerve vs Ricochet will be best wrestling match we see this coming week including the Rumble
I guess it's been hard to defend the 3 man belts because Pac hasn't been around lately
When Ricochet hit his "People's Moonsault Press", Tony Schiavone legit didn't seem to know what he was doing; was he REALLY *that* insulated from and inattentive of WWF TV from '98 - '01 while calling WCW? We know he left the business ENTIRELY after literally a *night* in TNA in 2002, and was gone for well over 15 years before MLW and then AEW, but THAT was glaring...
Simon : "we did have a video for Takeshita but it was just a video, meaning none of these champions actually appeared on the show live and in person"
Also Simon 15 minutes earlier : "Kyle Fletcher and Takeshita beat everybody up"
Rated FTR winning the AEW World Trios Championships would def be warm and fuzzier...also Deonna Purazzo & Taya Valkyrie alliance leading to debut of AEW Womens World TagTeam Championships please and thank you... cheers folk!
Mercedes should have shown up in a red, white and blue liveried bus with her outfit; "The Mone Express" or something...
The show wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad … idk why there’s so much hate on it , it’s crazy … the e drones were up last night just straight up bashing it
What else is new?
Those smooth-brained E drones are ALWAYS bashing AEW and any other company that isn't their precious WWE
@@afp445 exactly you know it
@@david-p8e6o 💯💯💯💯
Anyone else having problems finding this video (2:18) on UA-cam?
Not mentioning the People’s Moonsault is diabolical. Also….MANDELA EFFECT!!! 😂😂😂
Just noticed he has the downtown Dallas skyline as the background
But AEW was in Huntsville, Alabama this week for dynamite and collision
Mercedes is missing something but I have no idea what it is. She should be a mega star
She needs a better gimmick that fits her personality.
Taya Valkyria? Simon is going to start struggling with that across both companies' Us & Ds... 🤣🤣
i looked for the "happy fun woo yay childhood song exciting lively" on youtube, but i can't find it, simon! make it happen 😅
Sarah the scissors am dead 😂
Appreciate you too Simon
Yeah I think it’s kinda unanimous that the death riders thing is a bust and needs to be over asap. Just let Switchblade win in Australia
If he wins I hope aew let him fly to New Zealand his home with it for a day or 2 since it's just next door
I feel bad for Hobbs being injured for real.
Wait, again?
@ Yes, sadly. He must have gotten hurt during the brawl with Big Bill last week. His return is unknown currently.
From what I’ve seen, it’s just that his stitches weren’t healed all the way, so medical wouldn’t clear him. Thankfully, doesn’t sound like anything serious. Should be back next week!
Os thay why they pillmanized him?
@ I’m not sure. That whole angle is weird bc they mistimed the end of dynamite for that episode. We were supposed to see Hobbs get up after that and take out the Death Riders but the tv feed ended before he did that. I was confused on how he’d recover so quickly from that (he had a match on collision a few days later). I think the stitches were from the brawl with Big Bill on Collision last week, if I remember correctly Hobbs was busted open (maybe by the “bricks” in Bill’s backpack). Either way, just happy it’s nothing serious for Hobbs bc he’s a star and monster and I want him on tv as much as possible!
did anyone noticed that Simon had the wrong city in the background, it's the skyscrapers of Dallas, TX and not Huntsville, AL, as Huntsville was where AEW is at this week and Raw was in Dallas last week.
It's whoever edits the videos who forgot to change the city skyline in the background. There was an episode of Raw or Smackdown in the last few months of 2024 which was broadcast from an arena in Seattle, WA and the video for Ups and Downs one week later still had the Seattle skyline as the background image.
Why don’t you do ups and downs for Collision? You do ups and downs for RAW and SmackDown. I get why you didn’t do it for Rampage, that show definitely felt like a step below a B Show. But it seems like AEW wants to use Collision as a proper B Show (like SmackDown these days) seems like it would be worth doing ups and downs for.
I agree time to bring it back for us fans
To join the out runners You need to talk to your friends at wrestle talk and borrow their turbo person gear. If you know you know
I’m just here to see how many people are mad at Simon for giving Dynamite a fair review. He’s right, it was an okay show, nothing spectacular, just a lot less than what you might expect from AEW. They are going to hit that every now and then. Sometimes Simon is overly forgiving of AEW because he has given them ups for the same things that WWE got downs for…. So the one time Simon criticizes segments that are “meh”, it’s refreshing to see. This is one way AEW fans chase other fans away from the brand, getting mad over small criticisms.
No one's mad at Simon per se, most are mad because the trolls/E zombies rag on Simon because he doesn't obsessively hate AEW like they do. They're all the time accusing him of being 'paid by TK' or some other ret@rded BS, and people are sick of it 💯
Why do the Deathrider's need to cheat to win when they have a "survival of the fittest" ethos? I can understand the post-match beat downs, so the victims can "grow stronger", but the cheating doesn't make sense. Also there are too many heel beatdowns on this show, there is one every 15 minutes.
Claudio needed his whole team to beat Jarrett? That made him look like a wuss. Horrible booking!
What a Sad Simon, geez. Bit harsh.
Simon u as usual get the GOLDEN UP
This Death Riders crap has got to be the worst storyline in wrestling right now.
Imagine the amazing Osprey/Omega tag team names... Osmega or Omesprey! 🔥 lol
The beatdowns of babyfaces is one thing I've also noticed lately. But I'd even point to a different director who doesn't know when to play someone's music or cut to a different scene. See: the Toni Storm transformation back into Timeless from Collision as one example.
I wish you were in WWE or AEW Simon
On the subject of HHH entering the hall of fame (well deserve!) Moxley & The Death Riders matches / them as the top act in AEW, are the equivalent of his Reign of Terror in WWE
1:48 Just looked out my window, he was indeed still doing it.
I feel ricochet could've done a lot for himself if he left WWE for AEW when he was younger and could do more
Im confused are we supposed to be worried about the don callis family or the death riders. Because one is working and one is a lame duck. Don callis is seemingly working better imo and death riders havent really caught on at all
Ya know - considering how Will and Kenny don’t have the numbers advantage, I wonder if someone returns to help them - perhaps of the young buck variety
Did I miss UD for last weeks Collision? Curious your take on Timeless
He stopped doing Ups & Downs for Collision months ago. Wasn't getting enough views.
Why did Cage just stand there like a weirdo, with at least 10-15 seconds passing, while Kenny hit Lance Archer with the chair..... looked super awkward.
Criminy, Callis has truly become Cyrus The Virus.
I literally checked out after Don Callis did that shitty supervillain laugh
If you trolls dont like AEW and hate it so bad an its so hard to watch , then why waste yours and everyone elses time and just being so annoying with comments and hate? Mxkes no sense if its so bad an you really dont care then dont watch an dont say anything about it! That would truly be not caring about an it would let those of us that do enjoy it watch it in peace! Js peace to all! Stop the tribalism and trolling hate! One love to all!!
All of this!!! 💯💯💯💯
Too bad it'll fall on deaf ears as always 😕
Trolls/E zombies are always gonna hate on anything that isn't their sacred WWE
totally agree stop the tribalism crap
@@afp445 you're not allowed to bad mouth WWE only AEW wait for the NXT beats AEW in the ratings trolling stupid laughing emoji's
Wait, i thought Simon was a AEW fanboy? /s
You wonder why viewership has dropped so bad for these videos??? Negative Nancy is now doing ups and downs 😮. 4 or 5 downs is ridiculous
I love it ricochet is a bad guy yes🎉🎉🎉❤3'02
Okada was on collision. Maybe if you watched the show Simon then you would know
Shouldn't Max Caster have the Scissors gimmick? The member of The Acclaimed that turned heel? What do scissors have to do with Ricochet? TP? You don't need scissors to cut that; can you imagine the toilet mishaps if you did?
Rated FTR need to win the Trios Titles & absolutely WRECK Death Riders in the process.
I think it would also be pretty funny for Cope/Edge to catch Mox. Spear, Impaler DDT & Con-Chair-To ... Walk away with their new Trios Titles. Christian appears out of nowear cashes in on a dead Mox = New World Champ too!
Death Riders off TV for a bit. Rated FTR have the Trios Titles could go up against Hurt Syndicate! Also Edge/Cope be ultra pissed he handed Christian the AEW Title in the process.
Hey Simon I love your show you're the coolest the biggest nerd like me you keep doing what you doing I love you bro 3:00
This is the most pedantic review of Dynamite I've ever seen from you. We get more from Mariah but its not good enough because Toni isnt there till Collision. We need more from TNT title and we're getting that but its not good enough despite an awesome march they've built up. Yuka was never beating Mercedes and that was never gonna be in question despite a slightly longer build. Geez.
Anything with Jeff Jarrett automatically gets a down because that means he is on my TV and that is the very last place i want him to be and thats why i have given up on AEW at this point with the 1 exception of Kenny Omega so im hoping that AEW puts Jeff Jarrett out to pasture where he should have been ever since 2001 when he helped kill WCW and i hope AEW doesn't screw up Kenny's booking now that he has returned because he is literally their last hope to survive and get all the fans back that were run off by Tony Kahn!
I thought Toni Storm was from New Zealand.
Why are you afraid to give Mickey a down?
I understand why you’re are so bias for AEW!….it was formed by Indy wrestlers like you are yourself, but just by your standards no matter if it’s a WWE or AEW show…..storylines matter so why didn’t the first match’s storyline get a down like it would of been if it was WWE?
he not bias
@ I’m just saying he’s given WWE downs for storylines better than that first AEW match with Will O! Lol
Assault rifle fox
Some of these ppl man I tell you what......why must they crap on everything that's not the E I mean its wrestling just sit down shut up and enjoy it while we have it
It makes perfect sense. People are stupid.
You know it's bad when you see THAT score lmao. Love AEW but Death Riders on rinse repeat - it feels like they're doing a run-in on my soul & beating it down. I'm ride or die with AEW but I would like not to die, thank you very much. Just stop with the 'killing or running the company' angles. At least The Bucks gave us that delightful Anarchy in the Arena match from that. This is pulling toenails. Steal from WWE the best idea - the one making them money and giving us compelling creative - very simple - everyone wants the world title and THAT is your company wide angle.
TNT Title needs someone better than Daniel Garcia with it. Kyle Fletcher would be perfect. Hes on every week, hes being pushed. The faction element with another champ adds to the whole presentation.
I stopped watching AEW because it had turned into repetitive cycle of heels beating up faces with excessive numbers/mid carder gets destroyed by star/interference/ the same thing over and over again.... And it sounds like 8 months later, its the same.
AEW needs creative and storytelling and new gimmicks fast. This company has lost more steam in the past year than 1930's locomotive
Man, everyone's not liking this Dynamite episode it's crazy. Even Meltzer can't defend how bad it is.
Seemed pretty story heavy but what was bad about it? Still more action, more athleticism, and more believable ppl than wwe. Wwe wrestlers feel like cartoons
@@betterthanumjf While I don't think it was bad, really, there were several matches I just wasn't invested in. I enjoyed Ospreay vs. Cage and White vs. Yuta but everything else felt like filler.
@bradevans449 there's too many balls in the air. They're trying to get this Jeff Jarret thing going...too many death rider run ins, Don callus run ins. Better than the alternative still
@@betterthanumjf I think you're right. And yeah, it's still better than the alternative. Even though I really like some of the people in WWE I got so frustrated with the product I had to quit watching.
@@betterthanumjf Pay no attention to that Sensei dumba$$
He's always trolling the comments, childishly hating on AEW or anything that isn't the 'almighty' WWE
Up
Death riders are just annoying af now. Not even heel heat but holy f get them off my tv change the channel stuff. Yutas a joke, Claudios still being wasted, Mox is still the same character hes been since 2019. Yawn. Need more Swerve, more syndicate, more page, more omega, so nice young bucks have been off tv, now lets get the death riders off tv & focus on the actual talent in aew.
I'm not mad at you Simon. I'm just dissapoint. Lol JK
Also stop reading the comments, just assume everyone loves you.
Can you gave me a up on the next up and down your biggest nerd and fan PK jones
Simon: "You get a shot of the crowd."
Everyone on Internet "what crowd"😂😂
Worst dynamite so far
Shut up, you probably didn't even watch it E shill
That Huntsville crowd gets a brown down for the terrible energy for such a great main event.
This whole AEW product is a down
Real original E drone
The death riders try to be like the bloodline.. Always interfering even against non threatening wrestlers
I try and I try, but at this point I can’t even get through the reviews for AEW shows. I LOVE Simon, but man… it’s obvious that AEW is just for a very select group of people who like something that resembles pro-wrestling, but isn’t quite it.
That's how I feel about wwe. No wrestling, no one to like, nobody feels like a real person, no violence. Aew is still better than wwe
Then why watch his AEW ups and downs then? Stick with his WWE reviews since that's obviously what you prefer
@ I don’t. I tried, but I just can’t.
@@PatrickMaliha Then why are you here? Just to troll?
TNA > AEW
MLW > AEW
AWA > AEW
NWA > AEW
OVW > AEW
NXT > AEW
UWF > AEW
WWC > AEW
DWF > AEW
Paint drying > AEW
Why watch it then
@Noisy_Army_YT i don't really. I'll check for MJF but that's about it. Once I gave up on Tony Con doing right but Hobbs....I stopped watching
@@Noisy_Army_YTHe's just another AEW hater/troll
As I've said before, they're a dime a dozen on here
@@MrParker-ux2mh why you here then
@@david-p8e6o you you here then
Worst show in over five years
Ricochet must be wanting to cut Swerve’s hair because the scissors are stupid
Two downs for women’s wrestling here. Women’s wrestling down counter goes up to 8
Aew is really losing steam and feeling like end of days wcw
No it's not
Not even Close. Cause AEW is Not WCW 2000
Difference is, the end of WCW was decent for the time.
AEW is not.
You losers have been saying that for 5 years. They're still here and not going anywhere. Keep crying.
@@marcusbarugh919 Exactly 💯
But as always, haters gonna hate
AEW really sucks now. They had a good run though
Still light years better than wwe. Aew wrestlers feel like believable ppl.
They're STILL on it😅
With that dip💩 statement I’d have some of the crack you’re smoking, cause there is nothing great about that sinking ship. The aew crowd last nite was so quiet u could hear crickets 🤦🏿♂️ it was god awful start to finish…people like u is why aew is gonna continue to fail throughout 2025, cause in ya eyes last nite everything was great smh
@@zokuishAnd it's morons like you who are so desperate to see AEW go under that's the main problem in the IWC. No one can just enjoy wrestling without you incels trolling the comments, going after anyone who watches that company
@@betterthanumjf agreed
I can't even watch this one cuz I feel like there will be something he gives an up to....this review should be all downs
Let me guess: AEW sucks and should go out of business
Right E shill? 🙄
