i agree with Simon Miller….i love Wwe, Aew, Nxt n Tna…i just love wrestling again ….just don’t understand why some fans are hoping for aew to be out of business or wwe …why just enjoy the shows…diehards enjoy your brand n left another be….casual fans will enjoy all thing wrestling
I agree , But I don't like the Vince people like Triple H Bruce Prichard they know the evil that Vince did and have said nothing .
I agree I love wrestling but I can't watch WWE because the toxic fanboys of it
Nothing wrong with that .. seems like too many people love to hate on and nitpick AEW.. im AEW guy all the way don't watch WWE hardly at all, but I don't go on all there videos hating, and watch all these AEW videos on YT just to hate and post hate in the comments ..
I have watched wrestling since all I had was 1 hour of WWF.
Now I have wrestling almost every day of the week.
Not to mention the wrestling I get on UA-cam.
I couldn't be happier.
While things will happen on a show that I don't like, I will never put down the company because of it.
I agree wholeheartedly man. I wish that people could just enjoy wrestling rn because it’s so hot that it’s insane 🔥
Mark brisco is easily one of the best promo guys in all of wrestling. His energy and southern drawl is just unmatched idk what he's saying half the time but I'm buying whatever he's selling.
FACTS.
lol exactly how i feel about it haha especially as english isn't my first language :D
The Will Osprey/Ricochet match was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made me realize why I love this sport so damn much!
That was amazing and insane
Any normal person that saw that match will say "this is so stupid"
@@BrunoPereira-xh9xq Sure troll 👍🤡
The show was so much fun to be a part of yesterday. Much louder and larger crowd than the last show, despite the injuries, and people not quite feeling the technical Britt/Deeb match
Also, is it fair to give previous week’s booking decisions a down on this specific show the week that those decisions may have been resolved?
Britt is the womens best but she needs someone who can keep up with her.. Deed is dope but she loves technical a lot more than how Britt goes. Didnt work sadly. Deed can work great with others who work with her styles.
WWE broke my brain a little bit, because when Ricochet hit the piledriver I popped for it out loud and my cats were looking at me like I was crazy 😂😂
LOL
That pop Shelton got was awesome!
Statlander was on Collision btw
yup, and she addresses the Willow going after the title
The new AEW deal is not just great for them, but for all of wrestling!
Try telling the lunatics that 🙄
Except for Shad Khan who will have to keep hemorrhaging money to appease his 40+ year old son's desire to play with living action figures
@@randomguy8893 Ok troll 👍🙄
@@randomguy8893Pretty sure he can afford it pal.
FACTS.
That barricade spot looked awesome. Way more convincing then WWE and they're couch barricade thing THEY'LL NOT STOP DOING.
Shibata and Perry was already set up on Collision...the show exists even if you stopped reviewing it.
I legit hate how so many people bitch about AEW not telling stories then don't watch the full product. Like STFU then. Is it an epic staredown on a football field that promoted ZERO wrestling? Seriously what match or event is happening after that "promo"? You wouldn't know cause they advertised Nothing!!!
no But they absolutely do have stories. Even on rampage they got little things that if people actually watched they'd see that they have definitely improved or at least are trying to improve in the storytelling aspects. Does everything land? No but that's any company just make an attempt.
Look at Raws women's division outside of Rhea and Liv... It is horrible RN. Don't make the entire show bad.
@@elchomper.1063" watching every show they have or they are unable to tell a story " is a uniquely stupid thing to say
Facts. Folks used to having things handed to them. Meanwhile they ignore what they complain about.
@elchomper.1063 anytime someone says aew don't have stories I run down a handful and quick breakdown on what's going on. Then I ask what's wwe stories and they name the main one that's it. We just have to understand its cool to hate on aew now that's all.
@@elchomper.1063 I'm enjoying Damage CTRL's babyface turn more than the Rhea/Liv story right now, but they're going after the Women's Tag Titles now and WWE really doesn't seem to care at all about those titles at all so...
But you're right, the RAW women's division has been underwhelming lately. So has Smackdown's, IMO, even though both shows have some wonderfully talented women.
Another PPV quality show on Wednesday.
FACTS dude.
I dont understand the outrage over britt, she came back worked a program and lost the ppv match. Its ok if she doesnt show up again right away, she lost her feud. Now she is back and during her match the womens world champion was featured, what else do you want
Shes also coming back from a major injury maybe she doesn't want to be involved heavily.
People wanna whine is all.
@@rezsurfer2808 Pretty much
People are never satisfied 🤦
Britt's match against Mercedes had a bad ending that made Britt look weak, IMO. I wondered if her time off was to let any possible outrage over it die down, but that's purely me speculating.
@@bradevans449I read she got suspended
I never really complain, BUT Simon has been a Nicky the Nitpicker with AEW ups and downs lately.
It's on little things like build ups or backstage stuff.
Anyway, complaint over 😅
Facts 💯
Yes, I agree.
Well, he was getting crap for a long time because people were saying that he was going too easy on AEW.
@@TheJokesterSCR Exactly 💯
Gotta appease those basement dwelling 'E' drones after all
FACTS.
Regarding the first down: I think it's okay to have a little overbooking as a treat!
Brodie Lee clip caught me off guard 😢
Jay White is tanned, rested and ready. Can't wait.
Thumbs up if you want another “hardest part of the ring” skit.
Am I the only person that thinks Hobbs will be the one to answer Darby's open challenge at the PPV?
I miss this dude. Terrific potential. Needs to get away from Callis and join the Hurt Business guys.
Ricochet vs Ospreay was great, and its obvious they are saving the true match for a PPV down the road.. i like the three way with Takeshita but with that what about Okada vs Takeshita?
I think Mox taking the belt and ending Brian's career would be perfect. What better way to cement Mox as a top heel?
Also, as much as I love Will Osprey, I want to see Takeshita win the International belt. That man deserves gold!
I love that they're building a whole angle because Taz needed to watch the Mets game.
I was streaming this yesterday and my chat was goin crazy when Ricochet and Ospreay was wrestling 💯💯 I was quite disappointed in the result with Takeshita interfering because I really wanted a winner 😩 but once it got announced that it’ll be a triple threat a wrestle dream, I forgot all about and lost my shit 😂😂😂 I LOVE WRESTLING 🔥🔥
Long live Yuta and it looks like Osprey is almost smiling upside down in the picture
How the flub did this show get 5 downs???
Ikr? 💯 Simon's been a bit too nitpicky lately but hey, he has a right to his opinion whether we agree with him or not
Doesn't the TV deal automatically make dynamite More successful then nitro? Dynamite is #1 for cable on Wednesday and collision is top 5 so it's not doom and gloom like some E drones think plus all the social media numbers. But nitro They only lasted 5-5 1/2 years
September 95 to March 01....
83 weeks Eric needs to STFU then. Outside of WWE he helped kill 1 company and nearly killed another with TNA during the Hogan era. He wants to pretend like he knows something about wrestling and all i gotta say is just because a broken clock is right twice a day don't mean it works. Dude got lucky
Too many people think they are failing bc WWE has better #'s imo that's ridiculous since AEW is 5 years old and WWE is over 70 ..
Eric Bischoff is just salty of AEW , no matter what they do he has something negative to say.. if it weren't for Hogans heel turn Bischoff would be in contention for least successful wrestling executive ever
I saw things in that opener I've never seen.... BACKSLIDE BOMB?? gotta be a WWE fanboy to hate the show last night. Legitimately YOU ARE NOT A WRESTLING FAN THEN. WAIT FOR SMACKDOWN AND YOUR SOAP OPERA THAT FEATURES SOME WRESTLING.
I'm never getting over them doing a promo that promoted ZERO wrestling.... but it was shot with a drone camera so it's "great"
Swerve in our Glory vs The Hurt Business loading
Why you want black on black crime?
Aminata has been feuding with Deeb off and on for weeks on Collision Simon 😅
It's crazy that we expect people who watch wrestling for a living to actually watch wrestling, right?
@@KidMarquisDelToro I get that he has a busy life and doesn't review collision anymore but yeah it's frustrating
An NXT ad played during this video 😂 Tuesday night wars ramping up.
If Adam Page just reintroduced alcohol to his character, that is already in crisis, while doing "crowd work" that man needs all the ups
Simon Lshana Tova, best wishes to you and your family in the new year. Thank you for all your joyous cheer. May you be sealed in the book of life for great things!
Ospreay really is on another level right now, but I have to say for me personally, something didn't click in this match. Expectations were high of course, but it seemed like they weren't meshing well on this particular night. And even though pretty much every Ospreay match is 7 stars, I actually thought this was one of his weaker ones. And the finish was total garbage. Even the restart just seemed like TK pandering. That said, I'm sure the triple threat will still be fire.
Gotta disagree on that first down. The point of the draw was to get a lot of heat on Takeshita.
Deeb and Aminata have been feuding on collision for weeks!
Can you say nitpicking Simon you were very nitpicking on AEW last night , Why ? I normally like your show , So I'll give you a break , I liked it , Some show's you use to build other's , it's called storyline .
But it's totally fine when WWE drags shit out for MONTHS.
How many LWO judgement day matches DO WE NEED???
@@elchomper.1063 Not to mention the interminable Bloodline story 🤦
If Briscoe is a fan of himself is he... *a mark?* 😏
Ha
the storylines in AEW are the best i have seen in a long time.
Shelton benjamin gets the golden standard up.
I popped so huge for that.
I just caught the tail end of the 2nd airing since most networks have a west and east channel that air the same things just a few hours apart. I DVR the first airing but ik how AEW loves its overruns. This was fantastic
Simon calling out fans for being negative while throwing downs for the dumbest reasons is what IWC is about
😮😮😮😮
Dr Britt Baker D.M.D for AEW women's world champion
I really hope they build her and the champ up like they did with toni and may
Wow one of the best dynamites this year and simon gives it 5 downs? 6 ups 5 downs ive seen him give average shows 7 ups 1 down?
How in the hell do you give 5 downs to a show this good? I love your show normally but now it just seems that you are listening to people that don’t like your positivity. This may be your worst ever, sorry but I have my opinion as well
Agreed 💯
BACKSLIDE BOMB? AND IT'S AVERAGE?? ARE YOU BLIND??? Legitimately only problem was the double pin spot could've been a little bit better but otherwise it was great
A big takeaway from the past dynamite clips was how protected Danielson is. Since the beginning, they didn't want him to lose and either gave him draws or dirty loses.
Too many downs, great episode.
Osprey v ricochet gives me the same vibe as Carmelo Hayes v Andrade I’m all here for it.
Just Gonna Leave This Here: "It's ME Danielson. It was ME all along Danielson!"
The more wrestling the better!! There's fantastic wrestlers in WWE, AEW, NXT, TNA, MLW & probably more I don't see!!There's definitely parts of every company that could do with some upgrading! Better story telling, better booking for certain wrestlers etc etc etc.
I'm also gunna put this out there! Yuta turns on Bryan during said match... BCC are genuinely surprised. Yuta can continue with the "Dont Treat Me Like A Child!" Narrative! He went out on his own to get a shot at Bryan.
The Jericho thing? If he hadn't said the thing about Jay? Then I'd argue him beating Mark for the ROH Title would be a good plan so Big Bill can beat him for it & get a mahussive push! That said? Mark wins, Big Bill beats him, Jericho is "Happy" that he's taught Bill so well until he gets annoyed Bill has the title & he doesn't. Still, Big push for Bill!!
Fans chanting "five more minutes!" for a double pin that had nothing to do with the time limit...
🤦♂🤦♂🤣🤣
Ospreay vs Ricochet rocked! People were mad 2 flippy dudes did flippy things. That's literally what their wrestling style is and it was a good display of that style.
if hes healthy, i would love to see Keith Lee join the Business, perhaps as the Director of Pain
Since day 1 I have said that AEW is not WWE's competition at the moment but and alternative to it and that is why I fell in love with it. When AEW came out the WWE was in a long stretch that it felt stale for me and a lot of other fans and it was the breathe of fresh air that we needed. Looking back at these 5 years AEW have done a lot of good things and a lot of bad things and it is understandable seeing how it is a relative new company and I hope it will make more right choices so it can be here for a long long time.
I wouldn't mind seeing Ricochet turning heel on Osprey and joining Don Callis
Nope turning heel and Joining MVP's stable would be Gold
Taz vs hook ...Taz is going to put over his boy in a fued between father and son... I give a up
The only real gripe I had about this show was the ending to Will Ospray vs Ricochet. Just have Takeshita interfere right when the match is about to end, then they could've had him beat up Osperay and Ricochet. They didn't need to do the 5 more minutes tease.
I'm going to see shelton tomorrow in Tijuana Mexico against alberto El Patron (del rio) and Dmt Azul ❤
the sad thing is, the show ran long and my PVR stopped recording before the end of the Danielson vs Okada
agree with Simon as normal Love wrestling I watch AEW all the time MLW and GCW ROH on and off and maybe i do not watch wwe but they do what they do and happy for them workers i don't want no one to fail. Love wrestling.
Now I'm wondering if M.V.P'll bring Lashley into the fold. And Stripper Kenny for that matter.
They all signed yep
Simons sorry you get a down. Your job as a wrestling journalist etc. is to watch the product. If you don't watch the product its your fault if you're confused.
Yup
Kris Statlander had a segment on Collision where she talked about title shots. Maybe watch all of AEW before you start complaining and tossing out downs.
Literally no one watches collision so if it ties in maybe they should mention it on THE SHOW everyone watches
@@ahmadceasar5484 I watch it.
@@ahmadceasar5484 Over 430,000 people watched the episode. Try again.
@ahmadceasar5484 "No one watches Collision" they actually do.
@@Morganj27 no they don't collision is consistently one of the lowest viewed wrestling shows of the week in terms of viewership and ratings
in want in my corner, the Beast Lawyer, Frank Mortos, Attorney at Rawr.
This show was fire. Nice job AEW on that TV deal. Now I hope we get Dark back. I want to see all those other wrestlers getting some time in. I feel like the Hurt Syndicate is going to recruit Action Andretti
They kind of spoiled the Jay White return by playing his video when Juice was entering. I know they go the same song, but I don't remember the video saying Jay's name right at the start. I think they just made this for Jay's return and forgot to play the old version when Juice was coming in
The only person I’ll be happy for Danielson to drop the title to, is a returning Kenny Omega
Hey Simon! Love the graphic of my hometown Pittsburgh behind you!!! Go Steelers!!!
I wonder if Jay White and Hangman will introduce some other ringside friends like Steven the Staple Gun, Larry Light Tube or even Nick Gage’s pal Perry the Pizza Cutter?
I just hope they don't turn AEW into another late 90s WCW with grabbing all of WWE's former wrestlers and ignoring their other talent
They might be setting up a Hook/McGuinness feud, as they are different generations of the same style (almost); I'd guess Nigel took out Taz to assume his Dynamite commentary spot in a bid to stay relevant after losing to Bryan...
The best part of the whole night was shelton benjamin appearing
Wasn't the glove popularized by Blackjack Mulligan and not Stan Hansen ? I don't remember Stan doing the glove gimmick .I know that Dibiase used it in Mid-South too.
What are the weak downs all about???
I was thinking the same
@stevencook2408 been like it for the last 3 weeks. Not like Simon at all 😕
Good morning, Simon!
If Shelton Benjamin is the head of the complaint department what will Bobby Lashley title be??
Simon, 5 Downs?? C'mon now....
I know right? That's not nearly enough downs.
@@rjgoodman4056 And here we go with THIS troll again 🙄🤦
Simon mailed it in a long time ago. He's just self promoting at this point
That's where you come in, @@rjgoodman4056, downie.
They made a match for Rampage, I thought Rampage was cancelled , when’s the last episode?
Faces vs Elite vs BCC. The war for AEW.
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it 💪
The draw was the dumbest decision to make in a wrestling match. Esspecily when one wrestler is clearly on top of the other one.
are we going to have a wheeler yuta on a pole match for custody of yuta lol
Simon your get a thumbs up 👍🏽 because yes like you and many other fans that enjoy my favorite wrestlers in WWE,AEW,TNA, NWA, ROH! Just enjoy your pro wrestling all of no matter which ones you enjoy
Dont like that brisco started complimenting jericho after being called out, seems out of character.
Yeah talks about loving all of wrestling but being the most critical of aew yeah sure you love all wrestling pal👍
On Friday i got to see shelton and got my figure autograph ❤
I wonder why the wizard in the sky doesn't make decisions for AEW??
Didn't we bury Barry? When did he get resurrected?
AEW diehards that can’t acknowledge that the draw *took away* heat from Takeshita are just too far gone
Love aew but thought the show was hit and miss for a anniversary show
for the love of all christ, please don't let shane be the one behind mox. just why
Algorithm aide
Been 5 years...
May there be 50 more.
The end to richochet and will Osprey sucked
Some people watching this (probably) like “holy shib. That many downs!?” not realizing that for about the first 5 years of Ups and Downs existence, it was usually more downs than ups and seeing a raw or a smackdown as a whole getting a down was more common than it getting an up. I would get kind of annoyed that AEW from 2019-2021 would only ever get ups while they were still kinda pooing on wwe. But seeing where wwe is now, as a wrestling fan, I’m so thankful for the competition AEW has brought bc they forced wwe to actually put on good shows. I’ve fallen out of love with AEW, but Hangman constantly brings me back
5 downs lol. Wow Simon
Great almost. The ppv thing isn't. Your not really saving any money. 15 for max 35 for ppv still equals 50.
The show will still be on regular TV if people don't have Max
Maybe I missed this but does anyone know why there isn't an Ups and downs for NXT?
They don't do ups and downs for NXT or Collision anymore. I think it was because it was too much for them, so they cut it from the channel moving forward.
WhatCulture management decided to stop producing review videos for NXT, Rampage, Collision, and TNA shows due to low viewership numbers. There have been a few attempts to bring some of them back when people kept requesting them, but then the numbers predictably dropped off and the videos were shelved once again.
Darby getting KILLED by Bobby
Shane will be AEW'S hower power
What, you don’t care about Impact wrestling
Please, or the love of god, anyone other than Shane O'Mac. Anyone other than Shane O'Mac and Vince Russo
It always looks like Simon's being probed in his these thumbnails.
Simon Miller as usual u are the best and get a golden up
