The donneybrook match had me in tears. I expected shillelaghs and cricket bats, but they even staged a literal bar there…with a picture frame on it. Think about that for a second…a random picture frame. Why?!? I’m dead 😂😂😂
My dad has been a repo man since the late 70s in LA and San Diego. He's in his 60s and still working for repol. So as a kid I loved the repo man becuz my dad was a car reposessor . Early 90s people were like huh what's a repo?
I don't know if your going to but you should really start doing Ups & Downs for NXT. Seriously your the only one I can listen to when it comes to covering wrestling. Two shows went by and I'm hoping you would do the review.
@@sillygoose4263or more content? The people who want 2 hours are primarily sitting down for 2 whole hours. People want 3 cause they either want more wrestling (backstage segments and what not), more TV time for wrestlers. Plus it’s more content to skim on RUclips for highlights lol.
Here's a Crown Jewel fantasy booking: During Liv and Nia's match, they both knock each other out, and Tiffany cashes in for a triple threat, meaning both titles are on the line. It probably won't happen, but I think it would be cool.
Dude if I recount every thing on the show it’ll be as long as the show. I talked about Seth saying HE WAS GONNA RETIRE PUNK! If that doesn’t tell you “Hmm. Maybe this Seth guy doesn’t like Punk” I am not the issue, dude.
Worst part of RAW was that they didn't reset Seth Rollins. The stupid clothing, dancing and laughing like an idiot has run it's course. I was hoping they might build off some of the work he did during Mania season to re-debut him with a more serious tone.
Lyra Valkyria needs to get upgraded to the title picture after this. She deserves better than to be messing around with all these tag teams and factions.
I could definitely see interference by Goldberg at Crown Jewel. I also think there is an outside chance they use him as a guest referee. I dont think he could've stayed with Gunther in his prime. He deffo can't run a full match with him at this point. Great video, Simon! Cheers!!!❤
The technical difficulties exposed Joe Tessitore badly as just shamelessly reading his lines on camera; things like that on a live show (which Joe has many years of experience in) are real tests of broadcasters, and he failed this one...
could it be that the people complaining about 3 hour raws and the people complaining now thats its gone are not the same people? i get the "ha ha wrestling fans are fickle" thing is a meme but most of the time the answer is that people are not monoliths different people want different things from their wrestling.
They need to just eliminate the women’s tag division.. easily and consistently the worst part of Raw or smack down each week. Honestly, the men’s tag division sucks right now too.
I really want Kofi and Woods have their “falling out” and a match at a PLE but still be friends and keep the New Day intact. Where their frustrations boil over but they know they’re still homies. I would love for them to empty the tank with each other and have one immediate hug the other on the ground after pinning them. Saw someone on Twitter suggest even have Big E as a guest ref. I think that could be a very emotional match and story.
I think they should have Tiffany Straten cash in at crown Jewel it would be a way to elevate her by making her the first to win 2 titles at one time with either the world or WWE women's and the crown Jewel title if she cashs in and makes it a triple threat
Simon , by any chance, did you see the message that popped up on the screen when Miz and Kross were talking ? The message said there you are , but who was it referring to ?
They’re just biding their time. I think WWE is smart to use them sparingly. It keeps them from becoming stale or oversaturated, and it’ll make their next appearance all the more exciting
Raw is stocked with talent these days. Which is why the 3 hour shows over the past year or 2 have been as good as they’ve been. They’re going to have issues with 2 hours.
alot of people were missing the show only three people missing show made sense drew Bronson Braun STROWMAN because they are keyfabe injured but whole men judgement day and Damien , whole lwo including Rey , Wyatt six , final testament except karrion , American made , alpha academy they were all missing from the show is this good decision ? Is 2 hour raw good if these many people won't even get a tv time every week (people in this list will float I mean but this amount of people won't get tv time) and waaaay too many ads and picture in picture more then dynamite wtf
@@richardhand8004 yeah, I was agreeing with him. Truth is, though, there has been no mention of it going back to 3 hours. They asked HHH about it post Bad Blood and he said he doesn’t know what Netflix is doing (take that for what it’s worth). My hope is that there isn’t a firm time frame on the show length. Let it be as long as it needs to be from week to week to tell that week’s story.
Crown Jewel feels like the old HiaC PPVs, where they're just making the matches because the event requires it, not because it's a compelling story that's being paid off or any other legitimate reason for a champion vs champion match to take place. In the same month they finally brought HiaC back to it's rightful place as a cap off to a months long blood fued they also reverted right back to the Vince days with doing a Champ vs Champ match that has zero stakes or point other than....we need a big match to justify going there but it also can't affect any current storylines.
Honestly with Raw being 2 hours it still felt big as usual. When I watch Smackdown everything feels super rushed but I didn't have that feeling with Raw this week. Also love that Gunther is making one of the most basic wrestling moves look devastating as it should be. Always weird to me when someone is supposed to be deprived of oxygen but they magically surge to their feet and get the other person off lol.
They shouldn't have added another title. Im actually glad there having a one off Champion vs Champion match at Crown Jewel from now on because now we don't have to worry about championship changing hands at a PPV they most of us in america don't watch live
@SamuraiFoochs I do get that it's not a championship but it is a belt that I can almost bet whoever wins is showing up with it the next raw or smackdown.
Both tag divisions arent great right now. Smackdown mens is doing better for sure, but I'm starting to think maybe we should have 1 mens tag championship and the 1 women's championship. One division on each show. That way it can be more focused.
RAW being 2 hours is something to get used to. They clearly have some pacing issues and way to many commercials, but it's still a fun show. Punk and Seth had great promos. Jey vs Xavier was an alright match, it was more about watching Xavier's continued descent into madness and Bron Breakker swerving us by not going babyface. Sheamus and Pete Dunne had the match of the night. My only concern is now that RAW is to hours we are going to see more of the AEW problem, where all the women are thrown into 1 match. I hope this won't be a thing all the time. Gunther and Sami were fine, not as good as their Mania match, but it kept us guessing most of the night on if Sami could do it or not.
10 women squeezed into one match. No judgement day (arriving and leaving doesn't really count imo). No Rhea Ripley, just a prerecorded promo. No Damien Priest. No Bronson Reed. No Bronson Strowman. Definitely feeling that missing hour aha
Who was the interview with? It was Liv Morgan, Dominic, Mysterio, mustache and Liv Morgan? What’s the name of the tall chick in the back that has the big back?
The pure fusion collection and the unholy union sounds like programs I would be watching at 3 AM 😂
I noticed the Catch Phrase didn't last long. "Every Man wants to take us home. But can't" said by the Women married to a Women

I was at this Raw with my grandson.
We absolutely loved it.
Ohhh, you have secrets for next week's raw too then!
@@johnfish8042 yes… yes I do.
That's so cool
I’m happy you and your grandson enjoyed.
Raw isn't same when it's 2 hour. Still a great show. Main Event gets an golden up.
"Shouldn't Ups & Downs be out by now?" -Me, literally 30 seconds before the video appeared LOL. Starting now!
Simon Miller is a bloody legend. The Seth Rollins close camera bit was pure gold.
I look forward to these ups and downs every bloody week
Jey Uso giving Rollins that look after The Bloodline returned like "ahh shit, here we go again"
FACTS.
Sheamus vs Pete Dunne was banger 🔥💯
ALL FACTS NO CAP.
The donneybrook match had me in tears. I expected shillelaghs and cricket bats, but they even staged a literal bar there…with a picture frame on it. Think about that for a second…a random picture frame. Why?!? I’m dead 😂😂😂
FACTS😂.
I wanted the 2 hour show back until I got it lol.
Atleast Simon is still giving 20min recaps
I like the time it ended, so add an hour to the beginning start at 7 EST
If we take out all the ads raw was only like 1 hr 20 min
A Thundercats reference!!! Greatest up and down ever!
My dad has been a repo man since the late 70s in LA and San Diego. He's in his 60s and still working for repol. So as a kid I loved the repo man becuz my dad was a car reposessor . Early 90s people were like huh what's a repo?
I laughed so hard when they cut off Spicy Redd or whatever her name is 😂😂😂😂
Lol you tried for this one. Get those likes though 😂
Yeah, she started to twerk in the ring and WWE was like "noooope, nobodys going to watch that here, have Cody"
I was thinking of just using SR, but I can't be disrespecting our boy Seth.
Sexy Red!
@@ronald-xs7sp Sexy? Nope 😄
"Well maybe think again, cuz look what could happen". A message to anyone that was begging for a two hour show.
Love you Simon absolute golden UP
Sooooo happy to see the War Raiders back together!!!
Those guys are soooo good!!
I mean even solo matches when one was hurt were amazing!!
I don't know if your going to but you should really start doing Ups & Downs for NXT. Seriously your the only one I can listen to when it comes to covering wrestling. Two shows went by and I'm hoping you would do the review.
The pot PSA is hilarious lol
2 hours was way too short for me , I need my 3 hours back asap!
Ah yes we need 2 hours of boring filler
@@sillygoose4263or more content? The people who want 2 hours are primarily sitting down for 2 whole hours. People want 3 cause they either want more wrestling (backstage segments and what not), more TV time for wrestlers. Plus it’s more content to skim on RUclips for highlights lol.
this raw felt incomplete
The sword of omens reference! Priceless!
HOOOOOOO!!!
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it 💪
Thanks for the review Simon
The crown jewel belt looks fine, and it has absolutely no effect on the match whatsoever other than it’s an object they hold up at the end.
Saudi Pays the bucks
WWE gonna dance to their tune 😂 😂 😂
Omg Simon Miller the pot skit had me rolling. You guys are awesome 1LOVE
Here's a Crown Jewel fantasy booking: During Liv and Nia's match, they both knock each other out, and Tiffany cashes in for a triple threat, meaning both titles are on the line. It probably won't happen, but I think it would be cool.
No... just no
@@jimbo_1312Calm down.
This would be a cool idea if it weren't for the fact it's in Saudi, I doubt it'll be talked about much when it's there
@@XendrickYeah, it's the wrong event for it.
The Frame of Dom at 11:25 just took me out 😂🤣💀
"Bro, wake up, you're in a segment."
Simon, you're the only one who talks about Repo Man and Doink the Clown for that matter.
This stupid Crown Jewel belt before women's mid-card titles? That has to be the worst part....
No what's stupid is having mid card women's titles when the women's titles they have now are mid card titles because women's wrestlers are mid carders
Besides the Crown Jewel belts more like trophies than actual titles
Hard to have two world titles but one mid card title. Doesn't make sense
Worse, it's only one belt. The women's (if they're even ALLOWED to have one in Saudi) wasn't even unveiled...
BEST most devastating move gesture of the year! 😂😂😂
Sheamus cut a great promo putting Pete over on the post-show; shame they eviscerated Pete with the hands-free defeat...
There’s a reason for it I’m sure
I said last week somewhere that Ethan Page is going to be the next feud with CM Punk. I'm glad that it seems like that's happening.
5:27 Is the Spear officially the new super indie running knee finisher?
Tbf, a ton of people were already using the spear even before the current era and the PG era
A lotta people were just goin "It's Spear time"
Didn't even mention Seth shoulder barging punk. Good content.
Dude if I recount every thing on the show it’ll be as long as the show. I talked about Seth saying HE WAS GONNA RETIRE PUNK! If that doesn’t tell you “Hmm. Maybe this Seth guy doesn’t like Punk” I am not the issue, dude.

Simon can actually see the future of wrestling that’s how he’s been studying it for that long
I like crown jewel championship idea....its like a new tradition which can happen every year
Lyra Valkyria needs to get upgraded to the title picture after this. She deserves better than to be messing around with all these tag teams and factions.
My only issue is that the women got absolutely shafted. Hopefully its more balanced next week.
Good morning, Simon!
Anyone else get a PERFECTLY timed ad when he said Donny brooks 😂
I could definitely see interference by Goldberg at Crown Jewel. I also think there is an outside chance they use him as a guest referee. I dont think he could've stayed with Gunther in his prime. He deffo can't run a full match with him at this point. Great video, Simon! Cheers!!!❤
As soon as Sami did the blue thunder bomb I immediately heard Simon
It’s literally the rules if you watch this show 😂
The technical difficulties exposed Joe Tessitore badly as just shamelessly reading his lines on camera; things like that on a live show (which Joe has many years of experience in) are real tests of broadcasters, and he failed this one...
People complained about a 3 hour raw now were back to 2 hours and people are complaining you just can’t make anyone happy
dude genuinely wrestling fans are lame as hell 😭😭 you literally cannot make them happy at all
People complained about that when raw was unwatchable
could it be that the people complaining about 3 hour raws and the people complaining now thats its gone are not the same people? i get the "ha ha wrestling fans are fickle" thing is a meme but most of the time the answer is that people are not monoliths different people want different things from their wrestling.
They need to just eliminate the women’s tag division.. easily and consistently the worst part of Raw or smack down each week. Honestly, the men’s tag division sucks right now too.
Smackdown things should for Friday and Raw things should be for Monday, so I like that they are saving the KO situation for Friday.

Didn't Hologram use the blue thunder bomb to win on collision?
Well you answered my question. I walked out of the room and when I came back around 10pm, Raw was over.
That’s the weirdest Raw I’ve ever seen. When it was done I was like….. wait whattttt?
Forgot it’s only 2 hours now🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I was there and they filmed 2 RAWs back to back. I didnt think they did that anymore.
Next Monday they’re doing a show in England
I had to remind myself that Raw is back to 2 hours. Also what happened to the Wyatt Sicks?
They’re just biding their time.
I think WWE is smart to use them sparingly. It keeps them from becoming stale or oversaturated, and it’ll make their next appearance all the more exciting
Simon sounding sad that Repo Man is not getting mentioned... Hope WWE gives him a Royal Rumble spot so Simon can do his dance of joy...
Love Simons mentions of repo man😂
Raw is stocked with talent these days. Which is why the 3 hour shows over the past year or 2 have been as good as they’ve been. They’re going to have issues with 2 hours.

You're right, if they cut out all the b.s. they'll have more time for wrestling matches and/or etc..

Could we get Jay vs Bron vs Kofi vs Xavier?

It's not a title in the sense that it's not going to be regularly defended. How do people not get this?
