Ilja Dragunov is must watch for me. Dude is incredible. Intense, brutal, sells like a champ, etc. He just kept up with two future Hall of Famers, former world champions, and looked like he belonged there. He's incredible.
He can wrestle his butt off but I hate his entrance. Lol The music doesn't work for me, his hair bothers me and his "conducting" just doesn't fly. But he always brings it every single match.
I appreciate Otis standing firm. Sometimes when someone close to you was being awful, you gotta hold your boundaries so they feel the consequences. He can be a cartoon sometimes, but the dude feels so real now.
I agree 100%. I’m glad we arnt doing the taking them back immediately just to get get screwed again story. Makes it feel more real and almost a little sympathetic to Chad gable before you start to remember ohh yeah he did it to himself lmao
It’s not the most creative thing in the world, but I really like how they’re gradually turning Liv into Rhea. Liv was wearing similar ring gear, used the Prism Trap (Which I weirdly popped for), and some of her mannerisms reminded me of Mami. It really drives home how much Liv is trying to take everything from Rhea.
I think this story is way more deep than what it shows on the surface think the crazy twist is gonna be finn had been in on the plan the entire time don’t forget not to long ago it was finn and liv vs Damien and priest when edge was still in wwe
Interesting stuff from the live perspective: The Main Event matches pre-show were Tozawa v Pete Dunne and Creed Brothers (wrestling heel) v LWO (Wilde and Dragon Lee) During the commercial break after the WyattSick6, Jey popped up from the ring and said “they gone yet, damn have a nice night.” The confetti had been around for about 20 min before Seth even came out.
Better than their WrestleMania match being "presented by Cinnamon Toast Crunch!" with damned costumed mascots dancing around ringside DURING the match... 🤣🤣
Usually when someone's hanging out in catering, it's seen as a bad thing. But when it's Otis, you think, "Well, obviously." I also liked that he had two full plates of food just for himself.
If Big E is actually capable of making a return to wrestling whatever crowd he's in front of is going to blow the roof of the place. It would be fabulous if he can actually come back.
I wonder if Maxxine will be kidnapped by Nikki and The Sicks (great band name) to force Chad to show his true colours once and for all; and of course he bails to save himself. THAT will be Otis and Tozawa's OFFICIAL turn on Chad, and will finally lead to matches with him...
I give the whole Uncle Howdy story so far my own personal golden up. This is the best thing I've seen in professional wrestling (maybe) since the origin of the NWO. Ok, yes the Firefly Fun House is in there too...and the original Wyatt Family.
The amount of Dakota Kai fans crying and complaining online after this episode was hilarious. There's a clear story set up about how Damage Ctrl needs to change because they keep losing, and Dakota lost in order to further that story. It's not that hard to understand. Also, I'm not sure if Dakota is capable of competing in a ladder match without her knees exploding, so this was probably the best call.
I was hoping Dom would win MITB. Then if Liv defended the title, afterword his music would play and he would give his world title shot to returning Rhea. But i guess its too soon in the story time wise.
I was there last night and just before Raw came on Samantha went on the mic and asked us all to help Jey Uso by getting our phones flashlights out for the start of Raw.
I agree, Womens World Title matches should be long enough to "get all your shib in". Except for Zelina Vega. There's only so many Meteoras you can hit in a match before I start having a seizure.
Why shouldn't Zelina be shocked that a moonsault couldn't finish the job? Io Sky uses it as a finisher even though its the worst & ugliest moonsault in the industry.
I feel big e is returning also...have a feeling where xavier will pull what daniel bryan did with the wyatts...but pretend to turn on kofi, only to reveal big E returning to an almighty roar revealing the 3 are back babyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
Simon, the reason for the confetti was because the Boston Celtics won the NBA finals a week before! Also, you didn't mention that we were chanting to "shave your mustache!"
RAW was excellent last night. I know it probably wasn’t mentioned, but Pat McAfee was out for the 2nd week in a row. Sending prayers to Pat and his family following the lost of his father-in-law last week. Cody Graves had to flip the switch from play-by-play to color commentary and excellent as always. My only downside is Triple H keeps pushing Zoey Stark in any gimmick match. She’s not popular. Ivy Nile could had won
So has finn balor like.... completely retired the demon schtick? That was the whole reason i liked him lol. Wish he'd have been the demon or whatever more, but was still cool when he did do it
I think so. Karion Cross seems to have retired the dark stuff as well. I guess the thinking is there's only room for so many demons, and the Wyatt's are it. Wouldnt surprise me if he dusted off the costume for a PLE entrance at some point, but otherwise, he's been there, done that, and moving on, would be my guess.
I really do wish they would find Bron Breaker a different finisher because I feel the Spear is a little overused. But velocity at which he actually hits his Spear is unlikely anyone else. He could use that same speed he has and do a flying clothesline so he looks like his father with the Steiner line.
Meh, we knows it’s there. I’m guessing we’re gonna hear the holy shit chance a lot every time the Wyatt come out just because it’s brand new within the next six months or they’ll stop
I'm seeing Summerslam, Final Testament (Kross and AOP) Vs. The New Day with a mystery 3rd partner Final testament make their entrance, probably sacrifice a lamb on their way to the ring or like kill a kid or something Then as they wait for the New Day "OHHHHHHH CLEVELAND!! DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR! CLAP FOR YOUR WORLD FAMOUS 76 TIME CHAMPS AND FEEEEEEL THE POWAAAAAAA" Big E returns and like kills a kid or something idk
Well Simon, hopefully you also vote down whenever AEW referees do next to nothing whenever there’s “no DQ” but the referees do jackshit. You can use some consistency on AEW referees. 💁🏻♂️ especially because it happens nearly on every show. Maybe that’s why Simon ignores it, it’ll happen too often. Ok, just answered my own statement.
Please split up the “Old Day” because that’s how they look right now…. Old, boring and tired. Make Xavier a heel or something. They’re just NOT interesting right now🙄🙄🙄
i am just thrilled and amazed at all the talent that WWE has. And RAW has not felt like a 3 hour show in a long time. I literally look up and its the main event. The fight between Ilja and Shemus and Drew was almost PPV caliber. And just about every match tonight was spot on. I was predicting Kai might win it, but glad Zoey did. And the whole Judgement Day skits are fire. Ultimately I see Finn taking over and bringing Liv in the mix. And his reason for doing so is how Rhea and Priest have always looked past him and mistreated him. There are just so many storylines interweaving here. And the Wyatt Sicks storyline has so many possibilities. It could even be a swerve for them to go after Jey instead of Gable but who knows. WWE is on fire!
I completely forgot about the BackWoods 🤣 lacing the PG era with not-so-PG moments like naming your pin after a blunt wrap is why I freaking love the New Day
Yo can we just acknowledge how amazing both bo and Ludwig are going. Ludwigs promo on Seamus actually made me want more of him if they let him loose when he comes back I reckon he could be a beast of a competitor. Bo is doing the best work of his career how that goes is yet to be seen but right now it looks like he's completely losing the plot and I'm loving it. Even the fact that jey USO and Chad gable I have so many doubts that either one will win but the fact that they could win is actually crazy.
Ill be honest Bo's acting gave me goosebumps. Lots of layers in this, and I really think he's going to make this homage work even better than Bray did.
Claymore and brogue kick are totally different moves. One was accidentally discovered when giving the final concussion to one of the greatest stars ever and retiring him. The other was discovered because his pants were too tight and he fell down.
I wish Odyssey Jones or another black wrestler could have been a part of the Wyatts. I feel we need more multiracial stables and some creepy alternative black wrestlers.
I go to all the shows in Boston. I always try and start a chant, mad I didn’t start the shave your mustache chant but I did start a we want mami chant and I got on the opening shot of raw lol people got to put Boston up there with the best wrestling crowds lol
Sidge needs to take notes on how Simon reviews shows where Simon still has positive attitude with the stuff he doesn’t like instead of being a negative Nancy
Ilja Dragunov is must watch for me. Dude is incredible. Intense, brutal, sells like a champ, etc. He just kept up with two future Hall of Famers, former world champions, and looked like he belonged there. He's incredible.
He can wrestle his butt off but I hate his entrance. Lol The music doesn't work for me, his hair bothers me and his "conducting" just doesn't fly. But he always brings it every single match.
Finn Balor deserves an up for the cleanest fade of the week
ALL ABOARD THE ZOEY STARK TRAIN OF FUN! 🚂
Couldn't agree more with you Simon. Nobody gives her any respect.
The crowd chanting "Shave your mustache " at Dom was absolutely hilarious. 😅😅😅
My husband helped get the chant started and was so proud by the time it got rolling lol
That was funny.😂😂😂😂
@@beaugreenwood712I was very happy to join in
@@beaugreenwood712He deserves a bit of Hawk Tuah for starting that chant.
If Liv Morgan likes his look, he shouldn't change a thing, WWE universe be damned!
I appreciate Otis standing firm. Sometimes when someone close to you was being awful, you gotta hold your boundaries so they feel the consequences. He can be a cartoon sometimes, but the dude feels so real now.
I agree 100%. I’m glad we arnt doing the taking them back immediately just to get get screwed again story. Makes it feel more real and almost a little sympathetic to Chad gable before you start to remember ohh yeah he did it to himself lmao
Carlito Cracked me up. "I played as you!"
That was my favorite line of the night hahaha
Charlito be killing with his 1 liners....
And they be ON TIME with the situation
He is proper funny
Funny they were playing a 3v1 against Stroman 🤣
Carlito is cooool!

@@ScarredCore1they’re related to Tom and Nick
@@ScarredCore1 brain fart meant rhea 💀
I love when good mistakes like that happen...make that match happen tom and nick vs damien and priest with r truth special guest ring post
Interesting stuff from the live perspective:

During the commercial break after the WyattSick6, Jey popped up from the ring and said “they gone yet, damn have a nice night.”
The confetti had been around for about 20 min before Seth even came out.
I didn't see the confetti fall till after Seth's Pyro went off I was right near the ramp it didn't fall till Seth's Pyro and again for drews
Ilja is so damn good at what he does. Match of the night right there.
I love how the match between the Mysterios was sponsored by Modelo
Better than their WrestleMania match being "presented by Cinnamon Toast Crunch!" with damned costumed mascots dancing around ringside DURING the match... 🤣🤣
Also Liv vs Selina.
Drew McIntyre tossing Ilja Dragonov over Barry the Barricade was brutal.
Been waiting for my daily dose of Ups and Downs
If Big E does come back, i will cry.
Raw is on fire right now!
Where the Gable story goes will be fun to watch.
Also, please bring back AEW Collision ups and downs please!
Gable slowly turning into kurt angle even his hair is thinning.
Liv Morgan Vs Rhea Ripley in a ladder match for the custody of Dom please
Usually when someone's hanging out in catering, it's seen as a bad thing. But when it's Otis, you think, "Well, obviously." I also liked that he had two full plates of food just for himself.
The food looked good
I want this years Elimination chamber to be between Drew, Seamus, Gunther, Dragunov, Bron and Kaiser. I will never get bored of any combination
Brutal.
Lesnar instead of Ludwig would be overkill but mental at the same time
@@Zer0BrainGod bless I don’t think the Chamber would still be in 1 piece after that match. That would be such a hard hitting match
Liv with the NPO (No Pull Out) Leg Lock on Dom, 2024 most devastating maneuver going forward.
Simon's energy for Zoey Stark is how I feel about Lyra Valkyria.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got a Big E return vibe from that match.
Carlito has really found a groove with the judgement day
If Big E is actually capable of making a return to wrestling whatever crowd he's in front of is going to blow the roof of the place. It would be fabulous if he can actually come back.
If it’s an international crowd tho I think it would be one of the loudest pops in WWE history. Al la edge in the RR the year he came back
I like the 2 handed punch stop that USO does.
That’s kinda cool
OMG I've been waiting so long thank you Simon
I think Simon Miller is the best
I wonder if Maxxine will be kidnapped by Nikki and The Sicks (great band name) to force Chad to show his true colours once and for all; and of course he bails to save himself. THAT will be Otis and Tozawa's OFFICIAL turn on Chad, and will finally lead to matches with him...
Last night was my first ever live event, super great night. Biased golden up from me!
If you can do a house show, they’re the best!
I give the whole Uncle Howdy story so far my own personal golden up. This is the best thing I've seen in professional wrestling (maybe) since the origin of the NWO. Ok, yes the Firefly Fun House is in there too...and the original Wyatt Family.
If they push him the right way…The inevitable Ludwig v Gunter match could do NUMBERS
I get the feeling that will be a match for Bash in Berlin.
The amount of Dakota Kai fans crying and complaining online after this episode was hilarious. There's a clear story set up about how Damage Ctrl needs to change because they keep losing, and Dakota lost in order to further that story. It's not that hard to understand.

I was hoping Dom would win MITB. Then if Liv defended the title, afterword his music would play and he would give his world title shot to returning Rhea. But i guess its too soon in the story time wise.
The women's triple threat qualifier also had an almost 2 minute continuous cut and looked amazing. Better than 65 cuts a second.
I was there last night and just before Raw came on Samantha went on the mic and asked us all to help Jey Uso by getting our phones flashlights out for the start of Raw.
My opinion of Dom and Rey is that something will happen to reunite them before Rey fully retires.
100 percent Dom is on the path to becoming a babyface again within a year or 2.
I popped for the Danger Mouse reference.
I agree, Womens World Title matches should be long enough to "get all your shib in". Except for Zelina Vega. There's only so many Meteoras you can hit in a match before I start having a seizure.
Why shouldn't Zelina be shocked that a moonsault couldn't finish the job? Io Sky uses it as a finisher even though its the worst & ugliest moonsault in the industry.
"We ain't Penfold!" Oh, ack! Oh, crumbs!
Whew.. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to catch that. Give yourself an UP!
Tired of knowing the outcome of all zelina vega matches
If I had a five, Liv and Alexa would be it........ 😍😍😍😍
I feel big e is returning also...have a feeling where xavier will pull what daniel bryan did with the wyatts...but pretend to turn on kofi, only to reveal big E returning to an almighty roar revealing the 3 are back babyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
Uncle Howdy wins MITB? ❤
U beautiful bald man

The way the segment with chad and the Wyatts was shot with the blue light reminded me of X-files!
I hope this leads to Finn holding the title and leading the Judgement Day.

He could use that same speed he has and do a flying clothesline so he looks like his father with the Steiner line.
Except that WWE has done everything they can to distance Bron from his dad.
@@patrickdare5356 Honestly I think he needs a totally different move of his own that looks just as good as the Spear that he does use.
FINALLY!!! Simon gets an UP!!
Bo Dallas saying There you are to Uncle Howdy bring goosebumps... Man...missed Bray Wyatt so much...there would bring GOLD to this story
I swear I could watch do an up and down show almost anything.
The Segment between Bo Dallas & Uncle Howdy was intense Raw was a incredible show
did you see zelena's shoes?
Another killer Raw. They just need to stop the censorship, which isn't WWE's fault.
Raw is attitude again. But that Holy S chants needs to be fixed. Everyone hates censors in audios.

yeet is actully in th dictionary if you do a quick google. Sorry Chad you aint as smart as you think you are.
The bulldog is definitely an underrated move, I think Seth should use it as a set up for the stomp.
Liv has been a great transitional champ so far.
19:34 make this match a minute and a half, long enough for bron, and then a quick lose for sami

Bo Dallas is now a superstar. Amazing.
If money in the bank has interference from ounn amd Logan that will be over booked.
I'm feeling Liv may cost Damien the title. He's the only one that still seems loyal to Ripley.
