I was there last night! Was the first live wrestling show I’ve ever been to and got a floor seat a few rows from the ring - when Mortos gave Ricochet those brutal chops I swear the entire floor section went deaf. Even being a drummer, that was some of the loudest shit I’ve ever heard lmao
Did anyone notice that Simon's camera was glitching the heck out for at least seven seconds? I am worried about that thing. Hopefully he gets a new one soon.
With Takeshita and Callis, the Main Event was a loose Heel Vs. Heel Match-one that rocked through the combination of characters and their relationships.
Honestly, I enjoyed the Jericho vs Cassidy match. Sometimes the Jericho hate feels forced imo. Also their feud was 4 years ago and haven’t interacted until 2 weeks ago.
I really, really enjoyed the Chris Jericho/Orange Cassidy match, I also enjoyed the Queen Aminata/Yuka Sakazaki vs. Mariah May/Serena Deeb match as well......I really enjoyed my self with this show. 👏👏👏👏👏
I would like to see AEW bring Mizuki in from TJPW to team with Yuka Sakazaki to go against Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa, for one thing the Magical Sugar Rabbits are always amazing, and I think it would be a fun way to transition from the Yuka to the Mina feud
If the camera glitch was intentional due to the Nigel McGuinness segment, that's one of the most brilliant pieces of editing Ups and Downs has ever done. lol
Prediction for Nigel is that Bryan won’t be cleared for Grand Slam. This is just a way to keep him on tv without actually being there. It’ll fuel both Nigel and Mox more for what’s to come
I was at the show it was very good I was sitting in the third row and whenever someone jumped through or over the ropes it looked like they are coming right at me. It was great. MOX really kick the s*** out of private party. Had a Simon give me a golden up sign but security took it because there was nothing written on the back of the sign
Thought it was a great episode of Dynamite, but I couldn't stop laughing after Takeshita reversed into the Blue Thunder Bomb; I thought oh there we go the least effective move in Sports Entertainment, Simon will have something to say about this!
This dynamite was one of the best of the year. If they keep this pace Take, QA, Yuka, and Kyle will be the new stars. They also did a beautiful job establishing their already existing stars and building to Grand Slam. 8/10.
Satnam Singh was in the dark match against Colt Cabana. Setting up can't wrestle very good but the power moves were pretty cool there was one spot where he grabbed coco cabana down on the mat and just picked him up and slammed him down like five or six times Someone needs to teach that big man a power bomb or chokeslam or something so he looks more believable. Interestingly enough I ran into Jeff Jarrett at a rest stop on the way home. He told me his guy is bigger than Andre ever was...
I think the focus for orange is going to be the continued downward spiral since the best friends, he just cheated to win a match and I think that was the focus with him quite literally kicking the coins out of Chris for the finish which was amazing LOL
No one in the crowd had any clue that Jericho's foreign object was meant to be a roll of quarters; if Excalibur hadn't said it, no one at home would have either...
Platinum up for you as always Mr miller but dont forget just because he used the blue thunder bomb without a real 1,2,3 you still lost the match jajajajajaja.......P.S please BRING BACK RETRO UPS AND DOWNS thanks BRUV
I hope satnam turns on double j and Jinder an his crew show up an he joins them. I think if TK does it right he can have a dominant India based faction. I believe that would improve ratings in India an overall. It's a huge market that AEW should take advantage of imo
Technical difficulties makes it feel like a real wrestling show and i prefer that while WWE feels too much like just a TV show if that makes sense. They can say they're live all they want nothing about it feels like it's happening in real time though.
Yuka already beat Deeb recently so i guess they didn't want to make her look weak? But i agree the dq was a bad finish. Have Mariah look strong and pin Aminata again through trickery. As far as the build, it was thoroughly explained on Collision by Nigel himself (he went to TK) bc he's willing to take advantage of Bryan's condition and Darby isn't bc he's a Babyface, Darby complaining about Nigel wouldn't mean much also if they aren't gonna do a match soo
Normally i look forward to grand slams but this week makes me more frustrated. Couple good matches but rushing others instead of a build to will and ricochet. Hopefully saving Darby for wrestle dream since it's two hometown guys(kind of lol)
Think Hook smashing JD Ink was more to see JD work on tv he has been working for AEW for a month or so. Think they are seeing how he is being he came from The Nightmare Factory. Maybe they will sign him or let him go after having him on tv. I thought he did stand out and looked like he belonged.
Honestly, I personally feel it's kinda nitpicky to want something else for Hook/Strong. While yea it seems kinda pointless in hindsight, in the moment it just fits his character still. Seems he'll win over Strong and hopefully change up his character a bit now he has another very credible win. Go for an actual title again. At least that's how I feel it's going. After I wished it was Hook vs UK member each week till Strong match. 🤷♂️ But AEW doesn't like giving random losses to credible people I've noticed. So squash match instead. 🤷♂️
Cesaro went FULL Dad Mode!!! 1. Im not mad at you, just disappointed. 2. I though I'd taught you better. 3. You're old enough to make your own decisions. Maaaaaan poor Wheeler.
If it wasn't for his injuries, who knows where he would have ended up. Well it didn't go that way did it. Nigel McGinnis is not on the same level as Daniel. Bryan. Maybe back in the day? Yes but now no Brian's done all the things he wishes he could have. When Brian carries him through yet another match, he can go back to being a mediocre broadcaster!!!! Just one man's opinion.
@@tylertrainz4460 Probably because there’s about ten to fifteen wrestlers on AEW’s roster that I love and they have no idea what to do with them. TK’s booking is just a kid in a sandbox playing with action figures, nothing more.
@@tylertrainz4460 You’re right. What AEW needs is a new booker and new management because the people occupying these positions have proven themselves to be incompetent by consistently underutilizing their large pool of talent. How’s that?
Love darbiy apart from mjf biggest og but mox bryan dream match's as be 3 n mox goes over obv bd wants put his m8 bk top company as him claudio new gimmick just hard heels
Are people really that stupid? That was blatantly intentional saying the wrong show. E drones really will try to find anything and I mean anything just to shit on AEW.
in reply to the comment about matches without storyline or sufficient buildup where you said if you're still tuning in and expect something different its on you.... i say that im not tuning in. im watching you instead because to waste bryan vs nigel or riccocet vs osprey with no build up is a criminal waste and until they improve, if they ever can, i wont watch
Ahh man theres nothing more refreshing than reading the salt bot takes on an AEW post..........Maybe a Chilled Gorilla Mind energy drink, but not much else.
I *knew* that they were gonna rush Ricochet vs Ospreay instead of building anticipation and saving it for a PPV. If Tony Kahn was booking WWE, he'd have Bianca and Jade wrestle on a random episode of Smackdown just 2 weeks after Jade's debut.
@puffinlord15 is this not one of the most anticipated matches that AEW can put on at the moment? Why would you waste their first match on free TV? If they want us to care, they gotta put in some actual effort.
Big up for Simon for being the only reason I still interact with whatculture
Yup! The rest of them are a bunch of goobers.
Exactly.
Hey Simon, to bring balance to the universe, maybe you could use the Blue Thunder Bomb as a finisher? You could call it the Bald Thunder Bomb
Simon u are the greatest and as always u get the GOLDEN UP
Golden up for the blue thunderbomb spot
Has there every been a better visual than Simon kicking out of the Blue Thunder Bomb at one. Gotta send that message. That move don't beat nobody.
Once again, the downs were on the nitpicky side but still, great video Simon 👍 And team up with the Outrunners, we all want to see it!
If he doesn't nitpick AEW, the Vincels screech endlessly.
@@Deadguy2322forreal Good point 💯
Because, as we all know, WWE can do no wrong while everything AEW does is sh!t
@@afp445 THATS HOW THEY DO US
You have to admit orange Cassidy just wanting to Scuff the paint is perfect for orange Cassidy's character
I am glad that I am not the only one that noticed that too.
PLATINUM up for Simon!

Mortos is old school and can chop hardcore. lol Seeing his chops thru tv was painful. Seen some his old shows in AAA and wow he hardcore
@@rezsurfer2808 I feel like if Mortos slapped me it’d shave an entire year off my lifespan
Did anyone notice that Simon's camera was glitching the heck out for at least seven seconds? I am worried about that thing. Hopefully he gets a new one soon.
It must be a Negative Nancy invasion storyline
It’s the Wyatt 6…..
SICKS
😂
It's not my camera. It's a Premiere Pro issue that no one can sort. Been trying all year!
With Takeshita and Callis, the Main Event was a loose Heel Vs. Heel Match-one that rocked through the combination of characters and their relationships.
That Osprey vs Ricochet match is gonna be awesome. I can’t wait to be in Pittsburgh in 2 weeks to see it live!!!
hahahaha, you included your match footage. hahahaha. still some of the best booking ever! lol
And Simon was laughing the whole time he was being pinned. He was like, "HAHAHA This move is sh!t."
Honestly, I enjoyed the Jericho vs Cassidy match. Sometimes the Jericho hate feels forced imo. Also their feud was 4 years ago and haven’t interacted until 2 weeks ago.
I really, really enjoyed the Chris Jericho/Orange Cassidy match, I also enjoyed the Queen Aminata/Yuka Sakazaki vs. Mariah May/Serena Deeb match as well......I really enjoyed my self with this show. 👏👏👏👏👏
It is the only wrestling review show I need! love Simon! He's my friend from another country! Wish I could meet you in person!
I would like to see AEW bring Mizuki in from TJPW to team with Yuka Sakazaki to go against Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa, for one thing the Magical Sugar Rabbits are always amazing, and I think it would be a fun way to transition from the Yuka to the Mina feud
I'm just glad Kip Sabian is back in a TV storyline that's featured on Dynamite
If the camera glitch was intentional due to the Nigel McGuinness segment, that's one of the most brilliant pieces of editing Ups and Downs has ever done. lol
Forgot the crime counter you can't say you putting someone in the grave next to they father lol. Love the show
Can't hit people with hammers either. Lots of crime 😂

Awesome Episode last night 🔥👍👍
I think they are just wasting time with Mariah until Mina comes in. That’ll be her first big feud.
You could see Simon smiling when he got hit with the BTB 😂😂😂

Speaking of 1980s moves, the roll of dimes in the trunks was good.
Wasn't the Wheeler Yuta video from after Collision?
AEW: It makes no sense, but it’s fun.
100% accurate description of the product.
The blue thunder bomb would've gotten over in the 80s. If someone like Ricky, the dragon does that move. It would've hit.
This dynamite was one of the best of the year. If they keep this pace Take, QA, Yuka, and Kyle will be the new stars. They also did a beautiful job establishing their already existing stars and building to Grand Slam. 8/10.
I looked over all the comments before posting this, but Simon's 2nd 👇 (the one he gave for Hook's squash match) wasn't added to the down totals
Satnam Singh was in the dark match against Colt Cabana. Setting up can't wrestle very good but the power moves were pretty cool there was one spot where he grabbed coco cabana down on the mat and just picked him up and slammed him down like five or six times
Someone needs to teach that big man a power bomb or chokeslam or something so he looks more believable.

Simon may be the only wrestler to kick out of the blue thunder bomb at 1 count😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Im going to the 5th anniversary dynamite LETS GOOO
I see Mox has been taking lessons from Aces & Eights.
Whenever Hook wrestles someone with more tattoos or some enhanced feature of Hook's appearance, it's funny booking.
And one of the most non-toxic voices in wrestling gets it right again.
The Jericho wave is fucking hilarious
I think the focus for orange is going to be the continued downward spiral since the best friends, he just cheated to win a match and I think that was the focus with him quite literally kicking the coins out of Chris for the finish which was amazing LOL
i’m never this early ! thanks simon !
Kip Sabien needs all the love in the world. I will die on this hill.
No one in the crowd had any clue that Jericho's foreign object was meant to be a roll of quarters; if Excalibur hadn't said it, no one at home would have either...
I honestly cannot believe how Stunning Mariah May is..i get flustered just looking at her lol, she is a complete KNOCK out wow, and so evil lmao
Platinum up for you as always Mr miller but dont forget just because he used the blue thunder bomb without a real 1,2,3 you still lost the match jajajajajaja.......P.S please BRING BACK RETRO UPS AND DOWNS thanks BRUV
The interview was from collision.
I hope satnam turns on double j and Jinder an his crew show up an he joins them. I think if TK does it right he can have a dominant India based faction. I believe that would improve ratings in India an overall. It's a huge market that AEW should take advantage of imo
Is the Death Valley driver becoming Chris Jericho’s version of the blue thunder bomb? It’s seems to be his least devastating move
Technical difficulties makes it feel like a real wrestling show and i prefer that while WWE feels too much like just a TV show if that makes sense. They can say they're live all they want nothing about it feels like it's happening in real time though.

"Seeee! Sucks."

All these people claiming the episode was terrible didnt even watch it. Episode was good. Clowns just trying to bash the product.
It was garbage
@@WizKiddAnt91 no u.
I did watch it and I did not like a lot of it. Shit happens weirdo
I watched it, and thought it were ok. The Main Event match was good.
Opinions are subjective 🤷♂️
Having a 5 on 5 match next week is GD ridiculous. It should be 8 man max.
We don’t have enough squash matches.

Past any segments for hook. Retire the FTW title and hook
Thanks Simon.
As always.........broken record here.......please bring back AEW Collision ups and downs please!😊
😢
Nobody watched it 🤷♂️ why would they keep making content that hardly anybody views?
Was Mariah/Serena vs Aminata/Yuka only the fifth or sixth DQ in AEW history?
According to CageMatch, it was the 15th AEW match to have ended in a DQ (there's an unofficial 16th that occurred on an episode of AEW Dark).
@@irishviking383 Ok. But not bad for five years...
I’m a huge ricochet fan and love this little push. Hope it continues. The match with ospreay will be a banger. Hoping for no interference
Wardlow was once pushed. Think about it.
Jon Moxley is the best love his character
He’s stealing a gimmick from a nazi movie🤡
Simon, just turn off your TV?
Lad, about 300k have turned off their TV’s in the last year or so 😂
They were fighting over a jacket just like punk & McIntyre fought over a friendship bracelet. Wrestling is weird.
Ok all these characters Simon and made like Rita the ring post all need there own shirts at least Barry the barricade (r.i.p.)
He sells a justice for barry tshirt on pro wrestling tees
A little less than average of a Dynamite in my eyes. I enjoyed this review more than the actual show. We'll see how they bounce back.

people who complain about lack of Story between Ospreay and Ricochet... well they have no long term memory. The story goes back a decade

No storyline movement again...
What's with that thumbnail
How does Yuta have the Trios belt??? that was won by Mox, Claudio, and Pac
Because Mox never won it... it was Wheeler, Pac, and Claudio
