Retro Ups & Downs - ECW One Night Stand 2005

“She loves tables.” And we love you, Simon. You’re the friggin best. Wait, if Simon is Rey’s dad... Rey Mysterio is Goldberg’s grandson?

[@lanegerschutz6116]

Would love to see Goldberg bust out a 619😂😂

[@ChrisBl33p]

@@lanegerschutz6116...and there's a MASSIVE spill on the outside! Goldberg was going for some kind of slingshot maneuver, a 619 of sorts and such was the momentum of his body he lost his grip.

[@childishbambino2024]

So Dominick is the adopted great grandson of Goldberg because Rey isn’t Dominics father it’s Eddie obviously

[@monsterzinc9423]

Yes and Billy Graham is the great grandfather

[@superrobz]

Best show of 2005, nobody will tell me otherwise! I really REALLY wish we’d gotten Eddie Guerrero vs Chis Benoit in the original ECW run

[@ryangriffiths5179]

[@ryanwalsh6988]

The match was good but my only issue then and now is you can tell clear as day that Eddie did not want to be at this show.

[@SebastianThais]

"This is 15 years old, how is it 15 years old? I´m gonna be dead soon, I better plan my funeral" LOL Feel you man. Early 30s is a weird perspective point, right? 1987 man talking here. Thanks for being so awesome, you really make my life more joyful each week with your work. Best vibes from Peru 🇵🇪

[@renecastillo5918]

Yeah I regretted voting for the royal rumble cause I forgot about that match.

[@UnnameableGreviance]

I remember watching that match live. It is probably in my top 5 of all time. But that's probably more related to the good friends and time it was.

[@UnnameableGreviance]

Thank you to everyone who's liked this. Together we'll have Simon watching Rikishi taking flying lessons from the Undertaker.

This is just so much damn fun. I really hope this series does well because it would be criminal to lose such a cool concept. Now review ECW December to Dismember!

[@Khameleon269]

JamesGamesALot You mean the WWE ppv which is known as one of the worst ppv ever 😂.

[@jamesgamesalot8239]

Khameleon269 Exactly! I think it would be hilarious to watch Simon try to Positive Pete his way through that!

[@jimmy_the_squid9456]

Interesting that you said Benoit and Guerrero were incapable of having a bad match since both of them were unhappy with how it turned out on the night, they both felt it didn't quite come together and it was missing something, Benoit even said to Eddie afterwards "Sorry, I owe you a good one". Sadly we never got that "good one" since Eddie died a few months later

[@MyName-bw1kz]

That Stevie Richards chair shot to JBL was the definition of justice being served.

[@dizzy1369]

[@GoddesseyCreations]

I had to reread this comment I thought you said "Mike Awesome vs. Tatanka" 😂😂😂 I was like wait... What?

[@smartboy201]

The "didn't wanna work Tuesdays"-line always gets me.

[@DamnMixes]

Masato Tanaka vs Mike Awesome matches were always classic. The bumps they took were brutal. Easily the best match on this One Night Stand show.

[@DayFul]

Watching this live with Enter Sandman blasting out was an awesome experience.

[@Krispy_Krame]

Mike Awesome was so good for his size. I'd love to see him in his prime vs guys like Keith Lee and Dijakovic.

[@A..D..D]

It was my Dads 60th bday we had dinner , was hoping he’d get it but I settled for reading results online . Finally got to see and I loved it overall .

[@VIGLounge]

I rewatched the match between Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka about a month ago and that chair shot from Mike Awesome... Joey Styles exclaiming "HOLY CRAP!" captures that moment perfectly. Simon can you do a retro Ups and Downs for Halloween Havoc 1997? Your reaction to Rey VS Eddy will be worth it alone!

[@jayderice]

I'ma' say this every week until it happens, because I wanna' see you tear it to shreds. Especially considering it was only a year and a half after this awesome ppv. ECW December to Dismember 2006!

I went crazy when RVD won the title from Cena the following year.

[@hirudikapremaratne2034]

@mimseydemon Lesner

[@brianammons6787]

Undertaker and The Rock also. I was there when Rock beat him at WM28 and since it was in Florida the crowd was eating it up. Thing is, Thuganomics Cena already had L's against a few of them. He just got his W's off them and then some throughout his career.

[@brianammons6787]

@mimseydemon Cool man. Whatever your opinion is, is your own. I was at Sunlife Stadium. I heard the fans and if it creates that atmosphere, then it is special reguardless of your opinion. Main thing about wrestling fans that makes me despise even conversating, is always having a rebuttal to any kind of addition to a conversation. It's always my point is more accurate than your own. Thanks, really needed more of that in my day. 👌

[@brianammons6787]

@mimseydemon Not hardly. It's called sarcasm. I'm so upset about it, that I might just worry about your opinion. Oh, wait. Idfc.

One Night Stand 2005 was so great because the show was booked by Paul Heyman & Tommy Dreamer and therefore ECW authentic - you could tell that WWE added some of there production values to it but there was no WWE creative BS, which makes this PPV to this day one of the greatest of all time!!

[@Bg518albs]

Simon, love you... But here is the thing (from a fan of original ecw), you have to remember watching this show that you most likely didn't watch original ecw. For those of us who did, it was a highlight show. For example, of course the fans booed Rey. He left for WCW. Which to an ECW fan was selling out. Where as Foley was cheered on his way out and up to WWE. This is because Paul had a working relationship with WWE. Vince loaned ECW talent, gave them equipment. But Bishoff and Turner were just buying the wrestlers. It would be like there being a reunion for Channel 4's wrestling show from the 90s, make exactly like it was, then showing it to someone who did watch it, if at all

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Man this was an awesome ppv. The great ol days of wrestling
