The “Chelsea is afraid of heights” angle made me want her and R-Truth to start a team together like he did with Carmella
Chelsea had the biggest "holy sh**" moment from my perspective. For a spot like that for a goody, comic relief character. That is really insane.
Chelsea is a treasure. She's really underrated for what she brings to a match.
The fact she is such a solid wrestler and used as comic relief is CRIMINAL
Did you see Zoey stark deliver that incredible piledriver onto the ladder?? to herself!!!
@okyep Yeah. We won't mention the amount of botches at Botches In The Bank.
Chelsea can go, she's playing her character well but there's a ton of in ring skill she hasn't shown yet.
The only booking decision i have a problem with is Bron losing clean to a single finisher
100!
He's still a rookie at the end of the day.
@jordigan6060 he's a two time NXT champion and he just killed off Ricochet
@@Jef_Jinglesthe Main roster is not NXT. He has to earn his strips.
I mean he’s beaten Gunther for Christ’s sake. Sami Hogan is getting boring when he’s an “underdog” to all these up and coming talents when he’s already been intercontinental champion 3 times.
This Drew Punk feud could lead to...
HELL IN A CELL
I would not say no to that. It would rule!
*TRIPLE THREAT* HiaC. MacIntyre vs. Punk vs. Rollins.
That has to be the only outcome.. hell in a cell at bad blood. What other match is going to facilitate the pinnacle of this feud
CM Punk kinda said he doesn't want to do Hell in a Cell.
I don’t care. Punk is too fragile to do hell in a cell. Punk is useless since his return.
Biggest pop for me of the night was the "Simon, Give this an up" Sign just behind the commentary table
Also Chelsea Green was 100% the MVP of this show. What a performance.
Love her so much! She should have won
Gable and Green were the absolute highlights of this PLE!!!
We just had Priest hold the last briefcase for a very long time, with multiple cash in attempts. People complain. We have Drew immediately cashing in and not in a cheap way, which he said he would never do. Punk costing him the belt for a third time is money. It was obvious to me what was going to happen and it was executed nicely. Drew freaking out post show was awesome. Seth also pissed is just a cherry on top.
Ha.
Best fued of the last decade 👏
@@Ryanfrom-es9xd it's pretty great and not one match yet.
Ha.
Also, it further Damien’s underlining story. He has told JD to not interfere because he’s been trying to prove he can retain and be a World Champion that can win on his own. Nothing will come out of it, but Punk just interfere in a clean win.
People complained for Priest because he would try to cash in at the worst time or with no forethought. And Finn shenanigans too.
It didn't need the MITB to get this outcome. Costing Drew at the MITB match would've been enough. It was already the hottest fued before anyways. And for Seth, he doesn't need a reason to hate CM Punk. Everyone knows it. And while yeah, he can't challenge for the belt, it doesn't matter because Gunther is most likely winning in Summerslam so he just has to wait a month. Which we know because the booking basically told us this what was happening.
@@victorperez4554 but, you can't have Cody losing the belt at all and you can't have Gunther losing the belt. So, you want to make LA Knight look like a fool? You know? The money in the bank needs a break. It should be done every few years or something. Maybe it would feel special again. I mean the decline has been dramatic. From Corbin looking like a goof, to people like Otis just losing the briefcase or the absolute worst of all time with Austin Theory losing it on a US title cash in. But, the way Drew did it was just perfect for the solution to not having either champion lose it and not making the challenger look like a chump. To the detail about how Drew said he'd never do a cheap cash in because he was cashed in on twice with a cheap way. It's such good shit pal!
Ha.
“Nobody was a fan of me.. not even my parents” damn Simon 😂
'this is the positive corner of wrestling' I'm so glad I clicked on your channel recently after remembering you as a favorite from what culture. Enjoy your attitude so much and it's so rare online.
People mad, or supposedly mad about Bron losing, just thought he was gonna win and thought they knew everything, and then he lost. There's nothing about one loss that kills a character, nothing about failing in your first title shot that's a disaster. It's baseless. But they can say what they need to say.
The only issue about the MITB case, is this was yet another time we punished fans for believing in Jey. LA Knight is dethroning Logan Paul yeah. So this’ll instantly be paid off on his end. Some of these guys are gonna heat up like crazy over the next year. Jey USO’s whole arch needs to culminate in a big win of some kind before they drop him back into tag team competition.
I can only assume they are leaving him open to get back involved with the Bloodline
What does the guy have to do. He already sells more merch then just about anyone. He invests the fans like no one else. It's time.
Yeah, this is honestly my big issue. I don't want to see Jey get lopped back in with the Bloodline just to play second fiddle to Roman, or even worse, end up in the tag team division again. The dude is over as hell as a singles star, he gets louder pops than basically anybody else and he is 2 of the top 5 highest selling merchandise items. The guy needs his big singles win.
Jay don’t need the case
@@DisastrousIntentionallyit’s almost like they are purposely trying to cool him down at this point so he can be slotted back into tag team action
At this point even Damien Priest should be irritated with Punk given the whole "I'm going to prove myself without help" angle he has going, and Punk has interfered twice in his PLE matches. Although you could argue hes only in the position to keep proving himself because of Punk.
@@devilinwest you could see Priest was irritated at the end of the match. Could have been due to the botched three count (likely because Drew’s music was supposed to hit sooner), but he seemed annoyed with Punk’s interference as well. Either way, he should absolutely use that as an “I want to shut up the doubters and haters, so if everyone could stop interfering in my GD matches that’d be great” angle.
@@scottwherleWhy do people keep saying that? Triple H already said that was on Damian.
@@jonathanalverna6540 I haven’t seen the post show press conference. If Trips said it there, my bad. Damian def should have kicked out either way, but people are gonna zero in on that one thing and take away everything else Damian did during a great match. It’s silly. Mistakes happen.
That's actually a GREAT point! He also looked annoyed last night after the match! Perhaps this becomes a kind of four way feud, though Punk's involvement may never go past screwing Drew! There's no telling what he will injure next time he is in the ring!
Exactly what I said. Damien has yet to prove he’s worthy of being the champ
Good thing Drew's sword Angela was on sabbatical.
What people don't realize is that this interruption wasn't only meant to build up the Drew/Punk feud. It is also meant to plant seeds for Seth/Punk.
Couple hours later and they suspended Drew McIntyre!
The women's ladder match was brutal in all the best ways. I was genuinely concerned for them a few times. They went HARD.
Drew and Punk brings me back to Dusty vs Ole or Dusty vs Flair.
People that I TRULY believed hated each other with every fiber of their being.
Even with kayfabe dead, Drew and Punk are coming darn close to that.
Toss in Dusty and Tully. Blood fued excellence!
@@oldmangamer76 and totally forgot Magnum TA and Tully.
I always picture Drew and Punk backstage after screwing each other over constantly, beating the Christ out of eachother. Then they go to the back, shake hands, and chuckle at the frenzy they whipped the crowd into (myself included). I know I dont have to pay to see PLE's, but I'd pay PPV price to see their first match.
I honestly think Naomi should’ve won the MITB, but it will be interesting to see what Tiffany will do with it.
Yes they had the opportunity to finally push Naomi after her return and didn't take it
@@sjceezy that’s what I’m saying. They brought her back to just not do anything with her. They had her qualify for Elimination Chamber and lose, had her qualify for Money In The Bank and lose, they aren’t doing anything but having her win qualifying matches then lose the actual big match. I am glad they gave her a match at WrestleMania at least she was given that but she’s championship material they just gotta give her something to work with and she can show them.
@@izikmoreno7107 I think it's coming
Maybe she's the one to take down nia after she beats Bayley
Tbh it’ll kinda be nice having a year of “why didn’t they cash in when this champion had his pants down??????” That shit always annoys me
We still might, just in the Women's division! Though something tells me that Tiffy might end up using the case after Nia wins to beat her and end their buddy-buddy stuff. I can't WAIT to see that!
That may be the most detrimental missed music cue in wrestling history. So much of that finish was dependent on that cue hitting the mark precisely. I bet they did it in rehearsals 15 times with no problem. And sadly not having that really well timed, super memorable moment was sort of the lynch pin for the whole show. The entire show suffered because that music cue was half a second late.
Yeah. Drew’s music was probably supposed to hit while the ref was counting.
I wonder if Damien had his bell rung, if you watch the knee right before the falcon arrow and then watch his face when the lands he kinda looks out of it
@@Janthdanlnot too mention Seth standing around for like a minute yelling at him to get up and fight on the spot before was just weird.
@@Janthdanl nah, I'm 99.99 percent sure he was just listening for the music to hit and couldn't see the ref from his angle, so he couldn't tell if he needed to kick or not.
The botched low blow is my favorite moment of the ppv. It was hilarious
12:10.
The funniest part is that he DID punch Tama Tonga straight in the face with that second low-blow.
Tanga Loa is awesome, that shit was so funny.
The women's MitB was amazing. Pretty good show overall and it didn't seem like anyone got hurt. That's a win to me!
I’m kinda tired of the briefcase gimmick anyways- so I don’t mind them killing it off to build up the blood feud and now introduce Seth Rollins into the mix. Totally fine with it.
At first I hated what they did with Drew, CM Punk, and the wasted cash in, but this really does set up a hotter feud between those two, plus matches between Seth and Punk. It even potentially sets up something in the future between Damian Priest and CM Punk, because Priest (even though he got the win) would be pissed off that, once again, he doesn’t get to prove that he can win a big title defense match without interference, which is why he keeps telling Judgment Day to stay in the back. That frustrated look after he pinned Drew may have had to do with the botched count and no kick out, but I think it was also his frustration, because he still didn’t get his big solo win.
Plus now we don’t have to hear people complain when the person holding the briefcase doesn’t cash in
If anything it took a 5* feud and turned it into a... 5* feud.. It just kept it the same, and for me, it actually made it worse because it made Drew look weak.. and stupid.. Smart heels don't add themselves into a match, they use it when the opponent is beat up and at a disadvantage. Only stupid faces add themselves into a match or try when the opponent is fully healthy and expecting it.
@@addidaswguy I agree, the timing sucked, but I do understand why they did it.
@@maxnorton1209 yeah, I mean I still hate it, even if they had no intention of having any of the other people cash in and win, if still could've elevated them.
Also I think they should never have a MITB match without at least the majority being believable cash-ins, at least to me. Carmello wasn't believable in the slightest, to me anyway. He's good, but he hadn't gotten the kind of push that would make me believe that he could win the big one yet. Andrade too, he's an incredible wrestler, but they haven't done anything that would make me believe he could win even a Mid card title at this point.
And I LOVE Gable, he is an AMAZING wrestler, and his most recent work is Soo good. However in my eyes they won't even let him win a mid card title, so I don't think I can see them ever putting the big belt on him... Unfortunately. I'd LOVE to see him be a one off champion! And definitely many mid card titles, if he was 6'1, he'd be the closest thing to Angle we'll ever get.
I don’t get why people are so upset over the Drew cash in. Both title pictures right now are booked up and very complex. The world heavyweight title having Damian and Seth and Gunther etc and the WWE title having Solo and Randy and probably Roman and Rock at some point. Sometimes you just don’t need to add an unnecessary layer to things.
It’s a waste of the briefcase we didn’t need to elevate the feud, he cost drew at wreslemainia and clash at the castle they don’t need drew to be money in the bank when you could have Jey who needs it can have it.
1. Just because they are packed doesn't make it a good decision
2. the whole point of the MITB is to build stars , this is the second straight year the hottest wrestler on the planet didn't win
@Logan_3510 it's not the first time it's happened
Plus it adds credibility to Drew n Punk. Drew did what he said he was going to do when he won, n Punk made sure he didn't. Fans are fanatics so, we not always logical.
@@WildmontGamingthat’s not true. The audience might want to think that but there have been numerous cases where the MITB was won by the top star or someone that didn’t need elevation. It’s more so a key piece in stories nowadays not an elevation tool for up and coming stars
The failed cash in by Drew helps to further so many stories.
Firstly, Drew and Punk continue to ruin each others lives.
Secondly, Seth Rollins was pissed at Punk for getting in his way, furthering their would-have-been Mania feud.
Thirdly (and possibly most importantly), Damian Priest did not want any help retaining his title from the Judgment Day. They honoured their word but Priest STILL needed help to win from Punk (whether intentional or not).
Now Finn has more ammo to use against Damian and with Gunther on the horizon, I loved this whole thing.
Dude, nailed it. That was a great show. Had a blast.
When you think about it, Seth should not be mad at Punk for the match because it was Drew who got involved and turned the match into chaos.
This statement is nearly as ridiculous as all the people whining about the Men's Case being "wasted", and I mean it's only off by FRACTIONS, VERY small FRACTIONS!!!!!
That women's MITB match was match of the night for me. I would have liked for Iyo to win again, but her performance in the match makes up for her not winning. Tiffy deserves it, and honestly I just really hope Zoey, Iyo, and Lyra are okay after the complete chaos that was the best MITB match I have ever seen ❤
I do like that you are finding the positives in the MITB situation instead of shitting all over it like all of us. I am not a fan of the move, but I have faith it’ll lead to something better. The botched pin in that match was kind of rough, but I agree no one feels worse than whom ever botched that moment.
Bron Breakker learned a lesson in being overconfident
I really like this gradual escalation in animosity between Punk and Drew! It's gone from sly verbal digs at each other to straight up blood feud territory with each wanting to hurt the other in increasingly violent ways. Like did u see those chair shots??! Shit was brutal!! Let them fight as they say!
Wasting the mitb for nothing is one thing, but using it to further the feud of the year is another. They probably have a solid plan for both titles that couldn’t factor in the briefcase.
Go r to Gable to cash in on i.c. title. Theory already did it, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense of gable was to do that since his eyes are only set on that title and he does not care about any world titles. I feel like it would have put the intercontinental over as a top belt actually but also elevate Gable. I'd never say to do this on a mid card title but with what happened and I see the w.h. titles are booked, why waste it
@@ReFLexX_iiThat was the Vinny Mac era
@@HonoraryTribalChiefyeah Vince picked Austin Theory to win but him cashing in was after the allegations and Vince supposedly leaving so how theory cashed in on the US title and losing was all HHH
The feud didn’t need any more heat on it. If they did there’s plenty of ways to go about it. They didn’t NEED to do this
@@jamiek9780but it’s not that serious bro. Didn’t NEED it but it was enjoyable as a story. The IWC is never satisfied.
i genuinely think it was one of my favorite money in the banks of all time
Both ladder matches were outstanding and had me trippin’ balls throughout.
MITB was off the chain. SIMON is A-OK in my book.
40-50 days sounds awesome. Hell be there almost every week. Damn.
“They wasted the MITB” no! The way they did it was perfect because not only did Punk cost Drew, but he cost Seth the chance to compete for the title again. Simultaneously developing both feuds.
but, the feud was ALREADY at a 5 star. Punk already cost him the title at WrestleMania, the feud was already at the top level, this does nothing to elevate their feud. And WORST of all, this didn't make anyone, and it only makes Drew look stupid, so if anything it devolves the feud....
They could've given the MITB to LA Knight and MADE him. He's not getting any younger, and his popularity hasn't grown in awhile because they have shown they are not willing to pull the trigger on him, and people get frustrated and lose hope when they realize they are rooting for a non starter.
@@addidaswguyyou do realize that Gunther is winning at SS right? How does hotshotting the belt help? Punk was costing Drew either way. Get over it.
@@addidaswguy This. If this had actually elevated the feud to a newer higher level, then I'd get it but it didn't. It's at the exact same spot it already was. CM Punk cost Drew the title, Drew is big mad, Drew is going to get revenge, they're going to exchange attacks/promos. This is the exact same thing that happened a month ago.
They could have easily had the same level of heat, with the same level of animosity, by having CM Punk cost him the MITB to begin with. Literally any of the 5 other guys in that match could have used it.
And have you heard Knights crowd reaction? Safe to say he's over like rover.
@@Helldog6 EXACTLY. I already loved the feud, I already wanted to see the match, and. Drew was already pissed. This didn't do anything to elevate it for me, and if anything just frustrated me because I think they could've elevated LA Knight more and at least pushed him into being a main title contender. My only hope is that they'll ACTUALLY have him beat Logan and then eventually LA will at least be WHC someday.
I think you missed the Priest is also pissed at Punk.
I hadn't thought about it either until I saw another comment mention his whole schtick lately! He WAS visibly annoyed after the match last night! Will be VERY interesting to see where this whole thing goes from here.
The womans ladder match was insane!!
Best match of the night imo!
@@GrimR3ap3r86 yes... by far
People saying the women’s MITB match being sloppy are just so used to seeing the synchronized swimming on AEW
Not only does CM Punk have to worry about Drew McIntyre, he also has to worry about Seth Rollins because he screwed Seth over as well
This is why i love watching simon miller. Unlike all these other wrestling fans who over react and hate stuff when they dont get what they want. ( Just because you dont get what u want doesnt mean its bad
@@darkgaming8883 That’s most definitely why certain people are upset about the outcome, because once they saw LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Chad Gable in the match they automatically thought one of them was about to win a world championship. Even I knew that wasn’t going to happen.
@@snakeeyes2551 yeah I agree but hell I'll even admit it I wanted jey to win bad but the outcome that came I got to admit did tell good storytelling so I ain't mad about it one minute. I think HHH earned the right for us to be patient and see what he has in store
Drew getting screwed was a close 2nd for me. My 1st favourite scenario is Jey winning it then cashing in on Drew woth CM Punk's help in almost an identical fashion to Priest at WM40
Women's money in the bank was by far the best match of the night. Plus it had a line that had me absolutely rolling. "The Women's Money In The Bank....brought to you by The Boys"....didn't think about that one did they? lol But yeah, was a great PLE and I can't wait to see more unhinged Drew!!
They should have said "Girls get it done." at least once.
Once I got past the “aw man, now we don’t get the suspense of a cash-in”, I realized this use of the briefcase is the best way they could’ve used it to build a story. I would’ve loved to see someone like Gable win it, but that wasn’t happening this year in any universe. Jey has the OG Bloodline reunion coming up.
The ladies stole the show once again. Booking Sami as some Hulk Hogan type character is ridiculous and whatever happened in that damn match with Seth just cannot happen.
I don't get the excuses about the Priest botch. It completely took people out of the moment. And this is 5 PLEs in a row with major botches. Seth beat Priest in the botch spot so he should get another shot at the title. It completely broke the match and submersion. So now Seth vs punk makes no sense. Seth also told Drew for months to get over the bloodline and move on, he won't move on; making him a hypocrite.
Drew with the most straightforward cash in ever. The ref just nodded and took it, no "ARE YOU SURE???" or confusion or anything. It was shocking.
The issue this time was Samantha Irvin yapping too long before they could ring the bell 😅
Personally, i didnt mind the mens briefcase being used for the feud. It makes perfect sense and I'm happy to see the women's briefcase kept for a longer story.
My issues with the show were these:
Sami winning that match with just one helluva kick felt really wrong. Bron Breaker has been red hot recently and for him to just get knocked out by one move that others have kicked out of a few times feels weird. If it had been a brainbustah or blue thunder bomb followed by a helluva kick sure, but overall I'm not sure how to feel. I love that Sami had his moment, i just wish we had protected Bron a lil more although I totally get your points and we'll see in the next few shows.
Secondly, the women's MITB match should have main evented. That three way tag team match was fine, but with no surprise return and I personally didnt think you needed Cody being pinned to be the main event. That women's match was incredible and would have been a great way to end the show.
Also, i do feel like we missed a lot of different shenanigan opportunities for the mens MITB. There was nothing with the bloodline, legado del phantasma, wyatt6 or logan paul which, granted isnt needed, but did feel a bit weird given all the directions we were going. Just surprised me more than anything.
Anyway, those are my opinions, overall a fine show but it certainly makes me curious as to where we're heading. keep being awesome Simon
Bron's character is dead now get over it.
I agree I feel like our enjoyment was hindered because of all the crazy things we expected with the bloodline Roman reigns Jimmy Uso, and money in the bank Wyatt six Legado Logan Paul so I agree I felt like I was expecting it to especially when the ref bump happened in the bloodline match. I was like oh the third brother of the tongans is gonna come out and that didn’t happen so I agree with you 100%.
The Cash-In achieved multiple things...
1. Furthered CM Punk & Fued
2. Set up heat between Punk and Rollins.
3. Furthered the "Priest's wins keep getting tainted against his will." storyline.
4. We dont have another year of fans questioning why there was no cash in every time a champ is left no condition to for a fight. Its a logical question, the biggest fallacy of the MitB, and has to either be ignored or written around, both of which aren't great.
Since it's "scripted" I would have loved to have seen Fin release the demon again and absolutely fuck Damien. Hahaha
But was lame
It takes a lot of faith in the product, the viewers, and the wrestlers to tell a story with that much tied to it.
I think Nia loses to Bayley and Tiffy cashes in afterwards and Nia then turns or Tiffy
I think #4 is why they are all bitching! They want to whine about why it hasn't been used yet over and over and over again! This they can only whine about for a few weeks tops!
I was at the show & the crowd was very much into the show. They were expecting Randy Orton to turn on Cody.
If it were me, Knight wins. HHH would never allow that. Barring that, it completely makes sense to "waste" the briefcase. I understand that some people are pissed about "wasting the briefcase", but you have to look at what they're doing. Cody will never lose his title to anybody but Rock or Reigns, and Gunther is one of HHH's most protected projects, who is about to win Priests title and probably hold it for a year or close to it, so whoever won the briefcase was not going to cash in successfully. It was sacrificed for WWE's absolute hottest storyline. It's fine.
Tiffy definitely deserved it. But I think Mommy Iyo was the mvp of the ladder match from an in-ring perspective, and Chelsea was the MVP from an entertainment perspective.
That Iyo/Zoe spot was insane.
Simon I’m with ya, the Tiffy time briefcase run should be very long and very fun. The Mark in me woulda preferred Drew to hold the briefcase till Punk ended up w the title but hey the King Gunther world heavyweight run is inevitable
It also now believably add Seth Rollins into the feud, without this match. Seth could have come out and called out fun, but it’s much more believable now since they’ve been on the same show for months and haven’t run into each other in that time.
Simon is such a pure and good being. Because of the hate for the botched kickout in the damian vs seth match he pulls out a personal story of his own life to make people understand its just a simple, human mistake. Love you man keep being you
Here’s the thing. We could have gotten to this exact scenario with Drew and Punk without wasting the briefcase. If Punk had came out during the ladder match a screwed Drew as he was getting the briefcase we still be in the same place narratively. So I don’t get wasting the briefcase like that.
What if Cm wins the title before Mania , Cena wins the Rumble and they both go out as the main Event at Vegas Mania?
I agree with you on this PLE. It was alright, not superb. The Drew/Punk angle gets more buildup, and the Seth/Punk angle does. The women's ladder match was terrifying. Some of those bumps! It really acted as a "coming attraction" for Summer Slam.
The CM Punk interference should have happened during the ladder match. Sacrificing the anticipation of the briefcase wasn’t worth building a story more. Especially a story that’s already heavily built.
When Simon keeps mentioning Wooper from Pokemon😂
There's no reason why WWE couldn't do another MITB match and just exclude Drew. It's all made up anyway.
I agree I like that the Womens MITB will help make a star and differently the men's MITB furthers a feud and re-introduces Seth to the feud.
Priest's eyes were open but unfortunately the ref was postioned too far back for him the see the hand coming down for the 3. I think Drew's music hit at the right time, we would have had the OMG face on Seth because of the kickout and then the smirk when he realized what was happening 6:05
I looked into Chelsea greens work pre-wwe and ever since then she’s been one of my favorite women on the roster because she is underrated and an actual badass. Her character work on top of that makes her one of the best without people even realizing it! I would’ve been 200% ok with her winning last night but ITS TIFFY TIME
Should have been chelsea
Pretty sure Damian Wa supposed to kick out. You can see the look on his face after he doesn’t and you can see him apologize to Seth immediately. He also looks incredibly disappointed in himself after the match.
I thought it was a fun show! No complaints here. I just like watching wrestling.
MITB setup all the matches in Summer Slam perfectly. This PLE did exactly what it needed to do and the crowd was correct, "THIS WAS AWESOME'.
I wonder if Priest got light headed from all the back and forth and had that light headed “blackout” that happens sometimes. He looked really dazed and out of it when Seth was pinning him
Tiffy Times makes the most sense, imo. It is her gimmick. Chelsea isn't in it for the wins, even though we all are here for her!
Punk and Drew is a great morality story neither can get out of the other’s way and it’s harming themselves and everyone around them
I love it and couldn't agree more. This build could really pay off big for all the players in the main event. I'm eager to see where they're going with this
All good points Simon, makes sense, main point is WWE is so good right now, just hitting all cylinders!
Also, AEW Collision ups & downs, really missing that My Dude.
The person John Cena should meet at WrestleMania in the Main event is CM Punk.
I wish I had even 5% of Simon’s eternal optimism. Love ya in that wrestling bros kind of way !
I thought screwing Drew over was a great decision, i loved it and the feud going forward well be fire.
Real
But screwing the briefcase is a horrendous decision
@@tuanmohdarfantuankhusairry2977That’s on Drew for cashing in o during a championship match
@@tuanmohdarfantuankhusairry2977Any other use of the MitB case would have been pure idiocy. They furthered two angles with the move. It would have only been in the way for everyone else, because a cash in was a guaranteed lose. The only mistake was that missed music cue. If that had hit, it would have been golden. Everyone would be praising the match
@@tuanmohdarfantuankhusairry2977Realistically, whoever won the mitb was just gonna have a failed cashin anyways.
I knew exactly how it would pan out from start to finish. The only thing I guessed wrong was that Drew was going to cash in after the match and not during. I still had fun. They were a couple too many botches but other than nothing to complain. Chelsea Green is amazing and deserves more credit. Tiffany is going to be a mega star.
They set up so much long term story telling. Throughout the whole night. Not to mention, Gunther will bring all the honor and prestige back to that belt when he destroys priest
I can't argue with Simon's analysis. I thought Bron would win but the loss won't hurt him and Sami deserves to have a good run with the belt and needs to or it'll do damage to him beating Gunther. The ladder matches were both great but the women did take it, all of them deserve credit I was actually scared for them with some of those bumps most of them will be in some pain today. The six man was fully expected in the build for Summer Slam and Drew cashing in was played just right aside from Drew's music not going off in time resulting in a three count that should have been but it does heat that fued to the extreme and gets the Rollins Punk storyline back on track. As long as Tiffy's cash in is given time and handled well all good. Long-term story telling here to stay hopefully and I'm looking forward to Roman coming back to find that Rock is the actual head of the table in the shadows all along. The only real issue I have is that the trigger needs to be pulled on Jey getting a world title before long or his momentum might get lost, maybe win the Rumble and win at Mania as long as they can keep him in good stories from now till then 🤞🏽
The majority of people complaining are one of the 3:
1. The guy i wanted to win the mitb didnt win
2. I dont like cm punk
3. Tribalists
I'm just worried for Tonga loa and Iyo. Tonga look d like he hit his head hard on the announce table. Iyo looked like she was actually hurt after the big spot with her towards the end.
interesting to see how that pin botch plays out and what Seth has to say as he reacted to it. Other than that I thought that match was pretty good, I've missed Seth it's nice to have him back
Here is a hot take I just thought of.
Given the condition that Seth vs Damian main events MITB 2024, what if:
Instead of Punk causing Drew to fail his cash-in, when Drew tries to cash-in, Punk blindsides him and hits him with the belt, takes a good look at the belt, steals the case, and runs to the crowd like how he did it in MITB 2011. This becomes an enough distraction for Seth and Damian retains the WHC.
After the show, Drew searches for Punk all over the arena but can't find him, he's confronted by Pearce like what happened irl, hits him, and gets suspended.
Punk keeps the briefcase hostage, and after some time, Punk dares Drew to put his briefcase on the line at SummerSlam. Because of Drew's arrogance, he accepts the challenge.
This way, the MITB is not wasted and is used better as a storyline device.
How dare WWE tell a story!!
They killed off any aura Bron Breakker had for a political agenda... great storytelling.
Tell a story with the same exact chapter 3 times in a row. Great story. “What the next part of this story you ask? THE SAME AS THE LAST TIME!”
@@harshrealities2881AJ shouldve at least been there. Bringing them into the story and not following through messed up the story
@harshrealities2881 so in your reality there should only be one wrestling match ever in all of history? One hockey game ever? So I take it you have only ever had sex once in your life because by your standards you can only do things once.
And a GOOD one at that!!! Those BASTARDS!!!
I honestly enjoyed it. Most the story beats were the ones that made the most sense. Drew and punks fued spilling into seth rollins is a good touch. If he's not in the title picture he needs something big. Tiffy time is a good time. No arguement there. Sammy winning was a surprise but im ok with it. Only thing I wanted was when chad was at the top of a ladder, there was a 2nd ladder also in position. I wanted the lights to go out, then turn back on with howdy or any of the wyatt sicks at the top of the other ladder. Chad freaks. Lights go out again and they're both just gone
By definition the briefcase is a vehicle to further a storyline. The hold it for 6+ months constantly teasing a cash in is hackneyed. I'm all for how it played it (aside from the botch before Drew's music hit).
I am with Simon. I loved it all. And the Women' Money in the Bank match was the one of the best MITB matches ever (mens or womens). Brutal in the best ways. Just nuts.
Drew versus punk is going to be massive. I’m not sure the last time I recall a few that is this freaking hyped
With the Priest - Rollins match I expected the cash in .... But goddamn I forgot the CM Punk element 😂😂 ... This is the beauty of WWE these days , its all about the storylines ... Right direction, absolutely, but the Rollins element being thrown in adds longetivity to this particular storyline ... Summer slam is gonna be huge ... Tiffany winning MITB was somewhat unexpected, it depends in who and when she cashes,in on ... Good times ahead
Thanks so much Simon for all you do every week on social media and in the ring.
As fueds go the CM Punk vs McIntyre fued is going pretty damn good tbf, it almost reminds me of the epic Austin vs HHH fued.
Now Seth is going to be included in the Drew/Punk feud setting up a big triple threat match at Summer Slam
Thanks for another great vid, Simon! Of all the RUclipsrs out there I always find your thoughts are the most inline with mine. I love that we had something different for the men's MITB and we don't have to have another year of teases and the same "Mr. MITB" promos. It's been that way for ages. Drew cashing in as soon as he won it makes complete sense for his character. CM Punk coming out to ruin it for him makes complete sense for his character. It took this rivalry to another level and it feels so much more real than any other fued I can think of. Plus we now get to put the focus on the women's MITB winner for a while and Tiffy will be great in that role.
I thought the show was perfectly ok. Nothing too crazy happened but strong builds continue. The women's MITB stole the show and Jacob Fatu absolutely stands out as a mega star. My only personal gripe is that we had no Wyatt Sicks stuff as I'm super into them and what they're doing. But I also fully trust the process of how they're being booked so far, so I'm happy to keep seeing where that goes.
I like that Simon brought up Rollins. That seems to be what everyone is forgetting when they bitch about the ending. Punk screwed Rollins too and now we are gonna have an awesome 3-way super feud that doesn't need the briefcase getting in the way. This is gonna be a good thing as long as Punk can stay healthy for like 4 minutes.
Simon, from one baldy to another, I agree with you 100%. I often do. My whole group of friends I chat wrestling with, however, are crying about everything to do with this PLE. I’m just glad I’m not alone.
A triple threat for title of Hater of the Year at Summerslam is the match I didn’t know we all needed
😂 CM "Hogan" Punk has screwed Drew more than matches wrestled all for Drew just to lose to him when if they actaully wrestle
Simon I gotta say I just enjoyed myself watching it, I'm kinda like you I had fun, I laughed, I cried, I cringed, and at one point I held my head out of my window screaming for help like a madman but I had fun. And I also had fun watching your video, so thanks!
