Kevin Owens is close to my favorite wrestler of all time. His ability to go from being a badass and comedy is fantastic! I lost it when he said “they don’t have adrenaline in their soul.” 🤣🤣
If KO screams at the camera " PLEASE DON'T GO TO COMMERCIAL!" seconds before a commercial break, he will go down as the undisputed greatest of all time.
That opening segment with KO forgoing all the storyline formalities to set up a match and a ring brawl was brilliant and hilarious. More of that please.
Literally just put there biggest babyfaces on smackdown with like no stories to tell it feels like. Like cool bloodline stuff I guess but everything just kinda stays in its own lane and it’s all really tame.
While watching this episode, I was playing close attention to the commercial breaks, and Miller is right! It really is the most powerful force in all sports entertainment. Amazed the Bloodline were able to power through.
i predict that every friend who helped Cody along the way w/ the Bloodline will betray him viciously for a shot at the title now that he has it.. and it's gonna be great.
It was done very clumsily but they're trying to reset things to how it was originally meant to go. Keep in mind that Fatu both in and out of kayfabe was a last-minute replacement for Tonga Loa because Loa got banged up the week before the title match and couldn't get cleared. (KO poked him in the eye and I also think Loa had a concussion at one point).
Yeah. Like, he flubs stuff, yes, but at least the bits I've seen, it's been basically harmless stuff (nut shot, weird... tackle into the corner thing, etc) rather than wrestling botches. Seems a bit like a matter of a confidence thing and/or him overthinking things when the situation lets him get into his own head. And given he has history in the WWE, I could see uncharitable fans going at him with "Camacho" chants and the like, which could be distracting and get into his head too. It isn't to say he shouldn't try to sort things out and get better, but he's far from bad at wrestling.
@@wafflelover223Everyone who calls him Botchaloa or the you can’t wrestle chants really show just how much we shouldn’t take them seriously. This is bros first match in WWE in years but I was literally seeing comments about how he was botching every match like 2-3 weeks ago. It’s just social media people trying to use buzz words and be cool because they think it’s cool to hop on the train and hate someone. People are just sheep and hating on him for literally no reason.
Jessika Carr went back into her wrestler-mode with her demeanour and expressions kicking out Elektra and Los Garzas; wonder if that'll go somewhere, or she just lost her shit a little getting into it...
You know back when KO first came up to the main roster to feud with John Cena, I didn't like him, because he was a generic shouting heel with a bit of a belly. But he's evolved and this current version of him - especially his fourth-wall-breaking and calling-out of absurd wrestling "rules" makes me laugh all the time. It's also why I loved him working with Randy Orton, because it allowed Randy to show his goofy side as well. So yeah, back then, I wasn't a fan of KO, but now he's one of my favorites, and I'm just happy whenever he does something - because it's just always entertaining and most of the time REALLY funny. And I prefer my wrestling to be funny, GWFL, thank you very much. Apart from that, it was a decent episode I think. Some of it might have fallen flat because the PLE is next week and most of the stories and matches are in place, so we just need to get there. Anyway, it was still entertaining and I had fun, so no worries there.
First, u nailed it saying KO is wrestling's Deadpool (breaking the 4th wall); very astute, very salient point.. Second, Ups And Downs is the must-see 'TV' and right after watching the programs live is watching ur show... I hope The Ent recognizes that.. u've supplanted Meltzer (in a good way)... the BEST way... ur a truly trusted steward and servant to the biz... the best in the business today.. thank you, a thousand times... thank your
Kevin Owens is like if you combined Stone Cold Steve Austin with the Angry Video Game Nerd and Lewis Black. He knows exactly which tropes to hang a lampshade on, which ones to subvert, and which ones to just play straight enough.
Simon Gibe Yourself A GOLDEN UP For The Consistant Content My Good Sir. *chants YOU DESERVE IT!!!!! clap clap clap clap clap YOU DESERVE IT!!!! clap clap clap clap clap*
“Bring back Bayley, and give her a big push” She won The Royal Rumble and then won the Women’s WWE championship, this year… she’s had her push. No more forced downs
push storyline wise.... She's been a royal rumble winner and champion indeed.. But she barely did have a good stroyline (even as champion) and or Mania build up
Just because someone says I'm not going to turn on you doesn't mean it isn't going to happen . What does The Wizard in The Sky think is going to happen ?
Austin Theory is really good at making others look good. He's in danger of becoming his federation's Miz or Dolph, but if he connects with the crowd he could take the "Triple H" spot
If we have a user of the “Sky High” in current wwe, shouldn’t their splash a la frog be called the “Low Down” even if they’re moves used by separate tag partners in a given match?
What bothers me about current wrestling fans is their complete unwillingness to accept change. They whined and moaned about Roman holding the title for 703492175348097250234 days. Then Cody took it off of him. Now, they want to go BACK to Roman holding the belt for 3280974234015782 more days. They whined about needing a strong Babyface to overcome him. They got it in Rhodes. The entire arena that night cheered and even cried when he won. The immediate day after, "he boring".
stop listening to the minority opinion online and just enjoy what you enjoy. Internet shills are not and will not ever be a credible source of how over someone is.
The whining wasn’t about how long his reign was, it was the fact he barely showed after a certain point and when he did the result was often the same, bloodline interferes then Roman wins.
Current wrestling fans are the worst 90% of the time. There opinions change on the drop of a dime, with absolutely no logic behind it and if you show them logic they just say “nuh ugh”.
I can't shake the feeling they have Candace & Indi interacting with DIY lately to set up an eventual feud with the Wyatt Sick6. The could easily use the justification they (& Austin Theory) abandoned Lumis when they came to the main roster. Hell... they could start the feud by attacking Theory like they did to Gable in their debut.
I wonder if changing the tag belts to a single unified pair (for both men and women) would make them feel more prestigious? Tag matches have always been my favorite, but it feels weird watching them flounder - especially the women's titles. While, like Simon, part of me goes, "We'd have infinitely more match variety! lower-bracket teams could get pushed!" (Please push Green and Niven!), cynically I think it'd just mean we'd see the same one or two matches over and over and everyone else would be ignored.
I'm. Waiting for a babyface to say "Heel, I challenge you to a match where you cannot use your supper power. 60 minute time limit, no commercial break!"
if the roster seems short on teams, they could bring back Breezango, the Ascension and the Lucha Dragon. Alex Wright versus LA Knight in Berlin ??? Possibly. Also, former US Champions Diamond Dallas Page and Konnan could answer a US title open challenge from LA Knight. Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews versus Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson would be a fresh match for Smackdown. Michin has only been in the ring with Fyre and Dawn in dark matches and those were nearly a year ago. Those would be new for television. Michin and Zoey Stark have not wrestled each other in over a year.
I get heeling it up, but I admit; if I'd been there live expecting a Jacob Fatu match and getting a Tonga Loa one instead, I would be *legit* pissed at WWE, NOT Solo in kayfabe...
@@oliveira7860 No. But if they leave TV for something more subscription based and less advertisement base, and they choose to continue to ruin their matches, I guess I'm gonna lol.
Sorry I'm delayed but please tell me how on earth did nobody on the wwe production team didn't notice Robbie Lawler sat behind Michael Cole and pat on the previous raw???????????
I feel like WWE has been extremely predictable lately. Part of the problem is that there are not any believable heel threats in the championship storylines so you know who will win before the bell ever rings.
I still want to argue about value of tag team wrestling, when former tag team champs cant beat a tandem, even be it as high ranked as owens and rhodes. That just shouldnt happen for the sake of it.
Triple H’s tag divisions have been mid af for awhile now. I thought splitting them would help but it’s just so much worse now. Tbf tho KO and Cody have teamed together a couple of times.
Felt sorry for DIY; everyone expecting Roman (advertised or not) and *their* music hits. Glad they got a *decent* pop; that could've been painfully embarrassing...
I have to give it to WWE they time Smackdown perfectly this week. U saw the pin and if u watch it not live like I do u see the amount of time left (this week was 3 mins) which makes u think "Heel turn coming" then they review the show and preview the PPV (About 2 mins) which makes u think "Wait no there's no turn." then reveals KO with the belt in the classic "hit them with the belt heel turn" only to AGGRESIVELY give it to Cody. PLEASE TURN KO WWE! I miss heel Owens.
Kevin Owens is close to my favorite wrestler of all time. His ability to go from being a badass and comedy is fantastic! I lost it when he said “they don’t have adrenaline in their soul.” 🤣🤣
I THOUHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARD IT 😂😂😂
I agree he is the perfect guy for WWE! Even my wife who hates wrestling, love him and asks about how he is doing
You cannot convince me that Kevin Owens doesn't watch Ups & Downs
If KO screams at the camera " PLEASE DON'T GO TO COMMERCIAL!" seconds before a commercial break, he will go down as the undisputed greatest of all time.
Ong KO says “ let me punch him first “
Simon Miller is the backbone of WhatCulture Wrestling
Amazing Security Guard as well 😊
These are the only WC vids I watch
Like Ryan George 😅
That opening segment with KO forgoing all the storyline formalities to set up a match and a ring brawl was brilliant and hilarious. More of that please.
KO proving again that he’s WWEs Deadpool 😂😂😂
KO with the belt at the end made me laugh so freaking hard. The guy is literally the best.
KO reminds of Edge and Christian back in the day.
Just breaking the 4th wall all over
Thank you for helping me forget my problems for a little while.
We all need something to help us forget our problems. With me, it's Kukla, Fran and Ollie!
Holy crap. That screenshot of LA, I thought Simon had photoshopped himself into it for a sec. Lol
Actually, if I'm in a match, I tell the production truck to wait til I'm losing, then cut to commercial so I can get back in the match
No one can reverse the commercial break
Tonga Loa did a good job last night in my opinion. That match was pretty cool
No one talking enough about how WWE has completely let go of Smackdown and focuses on RAW because of that damn Netflix deal
I just think there’s more to do on Raw
I figured that is what's going on.
Literally just put there biggest babyfaces on smackdown with like no stories to tell it feels like. Like cool bloodline stuff I guess but everything just kinda stays in its own lane and it’s all really tame.
Been like that since 2021....@@anthonyturner6399
It's going to be on Netflix internationally, as well as NXT...

Kevin Owen’s is just the best … and We need a most devastating force counter 😭😭😭
Anyone else try to watch smackdown on hulu and have weird audio issues? There was no commentary, just awkward crowd sounds.
YUP! I came here specifically to see if that was going to be mentioned...
yes me and my brother noticed it to
Whole opening segment is mute.
I felt bad hearing the "you can't wrestle" chants with Tonga just standing there.
Yeah. Like, he flubs stuff, yes, but at least the bits I've seen, it's been basically harmless stuff (nut shot, weird... tackle into the corner thing, etc) rather than wrestling botches. Seems a bit like a matter of a confidence thing and/or him overthinking things when the situation lets him get into his own head.

Honestly the Street Fight Match for next week is making me even more hyped for Berlin. It baffles me that I'll be there live next week

It was cool seeing Bianca Jade & Naomi paying tribute to Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Biles plus I think KO will turn on Cody soon
Street profits need another chance on holding the titles there probably the best tag team in wwe in aew they be up there with teams like FTR
Profits are amazing. Especially because both men wrestle very differently
Kevin Owens is like if you combined Stone Cold Steve Austin with the Angry Video Game Nerd and Lewis Black.
He knows exactly which tropes to hang a lampshade on, which ones to subvert, and which ones to just play straight enough.
I hope Simon is a surprise entrant in the All In gauntlet match
Grayson Waller deserves a brown dowm. Never interrupt the "WOOAAAAHH!"
Ultimate heel move
Random, but the inevitable stare down between champion Bron and Back to main roster Corbin might be decent
WWE unfortunately continues As The Bloodline & Our Stomachs Turn now in yr 4 😆🤦♂️
Simon 👍

Giving Kevin Owens a Deadpool vibe is wonderful. He continues to surprise me lol.
“Bring back Bayley, and give her a big push” She won The Royal Rumble and then won the Women’s WWE championship, this year… she’s had her push. No more forced downs
I was thinking the same thing. She’s holding one of the top two belts in the business, how much further could she be pushed.
@@TYR77sadly another belt ... That's only way to be somewhat relevant in the awful women's division
push storyline wise.... She's been a royal rumble winner and champion indeed.. But she barely did have a good stroyline (even as champion) and or Mania build up
Just because someone says I'm not going to turn on you doesn't mean it isn't going to happen . What does The Wizard in The Sky think is going to happen ?
I thought Jay USO was coming back
Austin Theory is really good at making others look good.
He's in danger of becoming his federation's Miz or Dolph, but if he connects with the crowd he could take the "Triple H" spot
You guys have fun this weekend, it’ll be busy, but that’s OK when you’re doing something you love!!!
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it.
I will no boo Kevin Owens
We want wrestling and not stupid sports entertainment
Sports entertainment is pro wrestling
Go watch njpw then
Smack down was good
I want a LIVE collision Ups and Downs tomorrow at the live event!
Collision was pre taped at the Cardiff Dynamite. But there should be a live ups and downs for all in!
@hedonisticvanity No I get that! I was trying to be one of those people. I don't get a chance to say these things that often. Thank you tho!
@@hedonisticvanity Which is an absolutely pathetic thing to do in my opinion
Why are they allowing a mid-card team like Street prophets even trying for the titles
If we have a user of the “Sky High” in current wwe, shouldn’t their splash a la frog be called the “Low Down” even if they’re moves used by separate tag partners in a given match?
Solo Sikoa sucks. Seriously. He should maybe go back to NXT.
I thought I knew the deal...
I thought the deal was: Can they coexist?? 🤣🤣🤣

9:16 I think what their tryna to with Jacob is tryna protect him so he can’t lose and look strong.
if the roster seems short on teams, they could bring back Breezango, the Ascension and the Lucha Dragon. Alex Wright versus LA Knight in Berlin ??? Possibly. Also, former US Champions Diamond Dallas Page and Konnan could answer a US title open challenge from LA Knight.

I’m pretty sure GOD were always supposed to be the tag champs, not Fatu
Imagine he shows up for the US title open challenge 😮

I think it’s time for a frog splash counter 🤔!!!
No more ups and downs for collision?
I think the thing I'm excited for the most with netflix is commercials in between segments and not 90 seconds into every match.
Has that been confirmed?
@@oliveira7860 No. But if they leave TV for something more subscription based and less advertisement base, and they choose to continue to ruin their matches, I guess I'm gonna lol.

Do you think Kevin Owens watches the show?
This has been my headcanon for a while. KO is too self-aware! 😂
@@MelodicQuest reminds me of Edge and Christian in the 90s

The samoan drop can be used by anyone simon not just samoans
12:08 Do Do Counter- 8 😆😆
I feel Simon is going the Ryan George way... eventually Ups and Downs will be its own thing.
Expected Simon to ruminate/babble inanely more on Michin destroying a printer (though I got the symbolism) and PD's "Sticky Deadly" glue guns...
Shabbat shalom simon
I feel like WWE has been extremely predictable lately. Part of the problem is that there are not any believable heel threats in the championship storylines so you know who will win before the bell ever rings.
Alex Wright?? Hilarious!😂
There are way too many commercials on raw and SmackDown lately wwe need to do something about that
Same as there's always been, 20 minutes for every hour
Simon can be the new queen of UK
If its not carmello vs andrade on smackdown, its their fucking tag division. Its been the same show minus what the bloodline does for over a month now
WTF does his shirt say??? I can’t read it.
Bayley is getting some time off
I still want to argue about value of tag team wrestling, when former tag team champs cant beat a tandem, even be it as high ranked as owens and rhodes.
That just shouldnt happen for the sake of it.
Triple H’s tag divisions have been mid af for awhile now. I thought splitting them would help but it’s just so much worse now. Tbf tho KO and Cody have teamed together a couple of times.
But when both of them are either works champion or former world champion and the tag team in question is about to break up, I think it's fine
Jade and Bianca please do something
SIMON MILLER DOO DOO ALERT!🚨
10:05 💩
DOUBLE DOO DOO!!
12:08 💩💩
Felt sorry for DIY; everyone expecting Roman (advertised or not) and *their* music hits. Glad they got a *decent* pop; that could've been painfully embarrassing...
I give it a month before people get tired of part time roman.
I just can't take Solo seriously. The dude is missing something. Also, someone needs to take that belt off Cody asap.
Who though? everyone on SmackDown is a midcarder outside Roman and Randy..and I'm tired of Randy and Roman pushes
The tag team tiles must be vacated. The Bloodline must go away now.
I’m still waiting for Jade Cargill to do something. So much build up and now NOTHING!!!
I feel similarly about Dragon Lee's call up being hailed as the Future of Lucha!
She’s still incredibly green so she can’t do everything they are hyping her to be. Maybe in a few years
Lol ,Lee has been a flop
They put the title on Dawn and Fyre and then they keep making them look weak. This is why the girl's tag titles are garbage
Simon would you be happy or mad if KO won the title by screwing Cody over?
DUDE SAME!!! Where the hell is bayley
No plans for her
EVERYBODY LOVES FROGS.
You know, sometime soon we should have someone lose the title on their first defense so we can feel like it could happen.
UPS and down
The frog splash is happening in abundance to where if there is a week without that move, Earth is not revolving around the sun.
jacob fatu = killswitch in this storyline...
I have to give it to WWE they time Smackdown perfectly this week. U saw the pin and if u watch it not live like I do u see the amount of time left (this week was 3 mins) which makes u think "Heel turn coming" then they review the show and preview the PPV (About 2 mins) which makes u think "Wait no there's no turn." then reveals KO with the belt in the classic "hit them with the belt heel turn" only to AGGRESIVELY give it to Cody. PLEASE TURN KO WWE! I miss heel Owens.
