I actually liked the intro to ups and downs. Made it feel like an actual show. It will be missed.
Same...👍
I'll miss the intros too
I feel the same 😂😂😂 it even made me want to add an intro to my very own RUclips show
Yea
Facts.
Man the amount of positivity, good vibes, wholeheartedness, fun, all the good words oozing out of this guy is unmatchable
Man I know you are real but you sound like those annoying Bots and are you a fellow Indian?
He’s a positive force of nature!
Not only does he get an Up. Not only does he gets golden up. He gets a Platinum Up
I love him
My God are you actually a bot
Simon Miller would make a Fantastic Commentator on any Wrestling Show in my Opinion. I might not always agree with his ups or downs, but i enjoy watching him and listening to him each time. Thank you Simon
Doesn't he do commentary for Progress Wrestling? (So he's kinda a commentator on WWE programming.. kinda.. haha)
That's the great thing about wrestling. We don't have to agree what we like and don't like.
Eww, no.
I'd watch what ever show he was on at least once for him
Love the new look for Ups & Downs, but not having the intro is a true bummer. Having an intro makes everything go together better. When Finn was saying Cody kept stealing his stuff, was thinking he was alluding to The Bullet Club.
God, I love the new set of Ups and Downs. Tho, I loved the fact that there was an intro, I almost always skipped it, and absolutely understand why they got rid of it. Simon rules and deserves to be able to do Ups and Downs on his own channel and get all the money that it would be making.
One love ❤️
Idk, it's interesting but with the shadows and fake window, to me, it just looks like a cheap Teams background.
I agree the other guys on the channel are just meh. Like really they should be thanking Simon cuz he makes the channel. Without him I wouldn't even subscribe. I'm sure I'm not alone
Gonna miss the intro so much. I do like the random skits like that and the insider jokes he sneaks in there.
When Iyo Sky got the pin last night, I laughed and actually said out loud, “Well Simon is going nuts.” 🤣😂
Friends you need them
Glad to see Carmella back, she's had an incredibly rough last six months or so. All the best to her.
Tell me more?
She had a ectopic pregnancy and in those situations, the baby’s chances of surviving are zero. The pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage so she took some time off.
@@maitreyisriram6471 no shit??? Dang!! Heavy stuff. Good to see her back though
@@maitreyisriram6471 not that this is the best topic to be the "well, actually..." guy, but for the sake of accuracy, she had two miscarriages. One in September first, then the ectopic pregnancy in November which resulted in the loss of here second pregnancy. So it was back to back horrible experiences. She made a long post about it on IG and numerous sites reported on it, but if I post a link it'll probably be eaten by the nanny bot, but it's easy to find.
That is… Unspeakably, horrible… Thoughts with her, and I am amazed at her ability to come back from such a horrific experience times two
Not gonna lie gonna miss the intro especially the clips from when Simon has done live ups and downs but the new set looks slick
Glad SOMEone said it!
No intro? Straight into the action! Clean visuals .... Simon only evolves and gets better 🙌
My sentiments exactly.
It’s crazy to think Cody won his first rumble 15 years after he debuted in one.
Indeed. Taker won it 18 years after his debut and was also with the company for all of them
@@vinaysharma5197
Nah I’m talking about Cody’s actual rumble debut in 2008
Love the new additions to Ups and Downs. Thank you Simon for all the work you put in to it. Your positivity and energy makes me feel all warm and fuzzy in my tum tum. Give yourself an up.
If Otis becomes a model…I’m done 😂😂😂😂😂
“OH YEAA Mace!” 😂😂 shit would be comedic gold
Without context it is funny seeing Sami in the middle of the ring with a torn shirt with flowers around him with the dreamy filter. 13:53 🤣
Love the new look of the Ups and Downs counter. This was another solid RAW. I really want Cody to beat Roman for at least one belt and bring back the Winged Eagle. A lot of great matches tonight, also nice to see Boogs and Carmella back. IYO vs Candice was a bit sloppy but they got through it. Rhea called her shot on Charlotte and this time she'll deliver. I love the changes to Asuka/Kana's character and I hope she ends up winning the Elimination Chamber. Really she is the only one I could see doing it. Just a solid RAW after the Rumble.
I hope Cody does bring back the Wing Wwe championship for real 🤞🏼
Omg
They really need to get the WWE logo off the centerpiece of the belt and have something that doesn't look silly. I think something new is in order.
I need the big wing and the big gold heavyweight championship they actually looked important not just giant wwe logos
@@adamweger40 bruuuhhh having winged eagle AND big gold at the same time?!?! Be still throbbing heart!
Nah, if he brings a belt back it should be the big gold. And that belt is overrated, I get the nostalgia but it’s overrated.
Everyone pour one out for the Ups and Downs intro. Will truly be missed.
I love Simon, love the new screen.
But for the love of all that it holy kill the elevator music.
Doesn’t match Simons energy.
I was at the show last night and man the vibes for cody were electric
Man the intro was good, it was like a chill ease in we're about to go little segment. Hope it comes back.
I really hope WWE brings back the tag team elimination chamber match. Would love to see the Usos vs Alpha Academy vs The Brawling Brutes vs Los Lotharios vs Judgement Day (Dom and Priest) vs The Hurt Business (Benjamin and Alexander)
I’m happy knowing I’m not the only one excited for Otis getting more stuff to do.
Intro is what makes this feel like a regular show, and keeps me interested - I appreciate it from a psychological standpoint. It gets me mentally ready to listen. Sounds harsh without it.
I agree, but especially for those listening as a podcast or us just ….no offense, Simon, trying to get through your ups and downs and move on with our day that extra 15 seconds eliminated .. 👍
Not going to lie, other than the up down counter, I like the old set better
Like the new look - kill the background "music" though
Love the new set and everything else, I do miss the intro made it more of a show
The Judgment day is so over, one of the last few great things Vince signed off on... salute to edge for seeing the vision with the group to add Damien Rhea and Finn... Vince missed a lot but when he nails something it's a home run... Great job by uncle H deciding to add Dom too he grows on me every week and is a great annoying heel
I love the new production, the music is well done i barely noticed at first but it keeps me more interested. the Ups and downs new counter arrow thing is awesome. ill miss the the entrance of Simon's funniest moments but i love the new look a lot.
When Finn Balor said something about Cody Rhodes stealing his stuff, I believe he meant when Cody did the Bullet Club gestures (Horn and gun finger pose) in his victory at Royal Rumble 2023. I find it fascinating since knowing that Finn used to be the leader of Bullet Club known as Prince Devitt, and then Cody took over after he left WWE, so it's like Finn is calling out Cody for acting like he's part of the family, which I thought it makes the main event match a bit more interesting even if it is mainly Judgement Balor fighting Cody instead of Bullet Devitt Balor. So if it really is a cross-promotional reference, then I love it very much. Also, the new Ups And Downs looks really great! Even noticed how we just got into the show immediately, though I will miss the Ups and Downs intro.
Yea but AJ took over BC leaderships when Devitt left.
@@tmobeygee5351 Yeah, you're right. And I think after that was Kenny Omega, then Cody Rhodes if I'm correct.
I don't know how you could have made Ups & Downs even better than it was, but WhatCulture found a way! Also, you just have to love Simon!
I miss the intro 😂 still best wrestling review show in allllll sports entertainment
love the new set. please bring back the intro. it really set the show apart. and seeing Simon as the Repo Man will make me smile.
The ups and downs sign should start in the middle of the left side of the screen. and with each up it should go a little up and each down should make it go down. At the end depending on its position, you will easily know if it was a good show or not.
Stealing this
Oh man!!
Or you could just...read the numbers?
@@jiggleballs55 where’s the fun in reading?
@@tompatchak8706 5
Chances are your brain automatically understood that
I don’t know if this is what you are doing, but it would be cool if out the back window was a cityscape of wherever the show took place
This is exactly what we are going for! Good spot.
Am I the only one who thinks Chad Gable is the best wrestler on the planet? Dude is a machine. I’ve never seen so much talent in 1 human being 😩😩
Best wrestler since Kurt Angle, oh it’s true, it’s damn true
Great video as usual, but please bring back the intro, it's what set your show apart from all the others.
Imagine reliving the war not having that awesome intro "you want a war?! You're gonna get one".
It's perfect and ups and downs was also.
New setup is fantastic, simple yet very clean. I also really wanted Barron to win. He's such a great talent that deserves better. I miss his lone wolf character.
The new format will take some getting used to. Any chance the numbers can be white on the red and green arrows? Numbers are kind of hard to see being the same color as the arrows.
i will agree the numbers are a little bit difficult to see.
Those over the age of 40 would definitely complain about the color of number's. It's perfectly clear to see
Are you legally blind?
Cody is everything his detractors say he isn't. He's naturally over, because the character he plays is easy to get over with WWE fans. The WWE crowd isn't like the AEW crowd.
We all love Sami Zayn, but we already got months more of Sami Uso than we were supposed to, and Cody needs the belt or the whole comeback was meaningless.
Triple H has Rebeet my Felth in the Hurt Business as well Simon 😂😂
The new setup looks too busy to me, but hey it is what it is...
I guess the thing Cody stole from Finn was the Bullet Club, and the Too Sweet gesture too.
R.I.P to the intro 💔
Also, I think the up down counter is nice but it could work more on the other side of the screen under the pictures.
I feel it's blocking too much of the man 😂
Loving the new inclusion of no intro. Gets right into the video, love it.
Nice shot of my hometown’s skyline in the back. We had a major sleet storm here yesterday, glad it didn’t affect the show. Love the new look.
100% getting chris farley as Chippendale dancer esque story for Otis. Calling it now.
I will miss the opening of the show it always made me smile seeing your past funny skits
I'm pretty sure it has to do with New Japan. Remember Cody took over Bullet Club at one point. That's probably what he's talking about. It's awesome that the first three leaders of Bullet Club are in WWE now. Lol
You do realize that Kenny Omega was the 3rd leader of bullet club and also that Cody was next an actual leader. He was only a member.
Lol. Gotta follow it better. Him and Omega were basically CO-Leaders. And then they kinda started a split between The Bullet Club having Omega create The Elite and Cody had the rest of Bullet Club. That storyline was pretty awesome. But yeah Omega and Cody were Co Leaders.
If The Miz and Dolph Ziggler aren't shoe ins for the Hall of Fame----then it will forever be a travesty. Both of those dudes are some of the best workers and are solid soldiers for their craft. They always seem to do what's asked of them and put anyone over.
Miz is a top-3 heel of all time. The only people I would put over him would be Flair and NWO Hogan. That's it.
Ziggler plays mid-card when expected and always could push top-tier.
That is all.
"I told him it was down here now... what an idiot" that made me laugh way harder than it should have
He got the number wrong as well...he said 13! 🤣🤣
Love the new setup just bring back the background music from retro ups and downs
I get why the intro was dropped (damn metrics and algorithms), but I enjoyed the intro and preamble. No matter what changes around him, Simon will always be the Paragon of Positivity! Keep being great Mr. Miller!
I was there last night and you missed a Simon give this an up sign!
It was an overall great show but I was bothered by the fact they kept teasing the bloodline was up next then Baylee came out instead. Which in retrospect makes her a bigger heel because it’s not what we wanted to see.
I incredibly love the new ups and downs! Especially the fan forum portion..Ups and downs shouldn't be short to me anyway, and this just makes it feel even more like a part of a community of people who weirdly love this wonderful stuff known as wrestling..and I hope selfishly to have itbread on air one day..
Old Ups and Downs with intro and title sequence > new ups and downs 😢
Dude i loved the intro 😭
I saw the main event as sort of a "Clash of the Wednesday Night War" as when Finn was NXT champ on NXT, Cody was the inaugural TNT Champ in AEW then. Was a banger BTW.
MVP: "No Bobby, don't attack him."
Theory: "Yeah, listen to your dad."
MVP: "Okay, he's all yours."
I always skipped the intro to Ups and Down. Now that it’s gone, I miss it. 😢
…..what’s wrong with me?? 😅😅😅
I did the same thing
Baron Corbin: *has never won a match with the Deep 6*
Gargano: *kicks out after the Deep 6*
Baron Corbin: WHHAAAAAT?!?!! NO! NO! NO!
Check out Baron Corbin vs Drew Gulak.
I'm so anxious... I really can't wait to see what's next for the bloodline storyline 😭
Well, it means this week's SmackDown doesn't feel like the B-show anymore. Which is what Fox paid for...
We need a Millertron 6000 upgrade Simon!
It was a solid episode overall and good follow up to the Rumble. I love that we're getting the Becky / Bayley match we should've had in the first place.
The new set up made me all warm and fuzzy in my Tum tum
Simon give the new setup the BEST UP POSSIBLE
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
GWFL
Mustafa Ali vs Kofi Kingston to qualify for a qualifying match for elimination chamber makes a lot of sense
Inject that into my veins please I need that
The intro was good bring it back
The new set and lack of intro gets me that warm and fuzzy feeling right in my tum tum that I need
Intros were really fun. I will miss them.
Auska should get an Auska up! Other than that, the show is brilliant :)
Boogs came back looking like he'd stacked on 20kg of extra muscle
Theory should win at elimination chamber and then have US open challenge on Wrestlemania and have John Cena answer it
Elias and Rick as a tag team in calling it now
This definitely needs some sort of intro. The start of the video just feels WAYYYYY to rushed without it
I'll miss the intro music, and the old background music. Nothing would ever stop me from watching Ups and Downs, though! Best RUclips wrestling show EVER!!!
Even with the new HHH at the helm same show. Someone comes out to TALK, gets interrupted and WOW we have a match later
Can we talk about how the female wrestlers outfit and hair styles make the majority of them indistinguishable especially if your not familiar with the roster
They look like a Unicorn puked a rainbow all over them 😂
Give Simon & Phil an up for adding the city the show was held in the background! I instantly recognized downtown Tulsa.
Keep seeing those orbs float by in the background reminds me of Ghostbusters
RIP Intro to Ups & Downs 😭
Now if there should ever be a reason to be distracted. A tall guy swinging an axe at ringside should be on that list.
Golden up👆for the new Ups and Downs set💯💯💯💯💯
Love the new look my friend!! I do like the red/down on the other side though
Not crazy about the new setup. Doesn't look as crisp. Also, makes more sense (IMO) for the counters to be pulled down rather than slid in from the side.
Petition to bring back the Intro
8:23 seeing how Rollins threw some real life stuff at Riddle on their feud, I really really hope Seth will mention CryptoZoo & Pig reference to Logan Paul.
Even though no one but JBL wants to see it, I think Corbin deserves some kind of decent title run eventually, I mean theres gotta be some type of payoff for the man being the "modern day jobbing god"
6:06 Who relates with me "whenever a roll-up pin happens i heard Simon saying this in my head"😂😂
ngl, kinda sad the intro is gone. was always a nice way to start my Tuesday, thurs and sat mornings lol. the tune and imagery was jus perf for the show
He went from being Dom the sub to Con Dom. I love this 😂
The Sun?
@@tomseville2345 my bad lol
Love the change too ups and down this is execllent simon ur a legend mate k pal ya alright i cant stops watching ups and down it make 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Is there no one better at being a heel than Bayley? Fave underrated moment of the Rumble , Bayleys entrance as she strutted down, and out of nowhere just snatched someone's sign I couldn't stop giggling...lol
WWE Rematch Counter: 13
An awesome Raw with great build ups for next week. (Also, I kind of want Montez to enter the chamber and have a great showing…….and then maybe win the actual United States Championship at Wrestlemania.)
Hey Simon! I love the new look of WhatCulture. Too many colors with the stars. It drove me crazy! The nice and fresh rundown of Raw. I agree with all the ups and downs. Thank you for a great video.
The new ups and down banner looks so clean. I love it!
You gotta bring back the intro Simon, this episode felt like it missed it
This new ups and downs reminds me of a relaxed talk show. I’ll miss the intro tho
I love & respect Simon the most - he's so fuckin' dedicated man;puts his WHOLE in his videos!💓!
You should put the arrow counter on the otherside of the screen. Don't block Simon!
Auska vs belair needs to happen seriously...
