I cant believe this was 9 YEARRRRRSSS AGO geez time flys

[@patwatts2426]

Forget WrestleMania, this is probably my favourite show of all time. Yes, there was some filler, but both MITB and World Title matches were great, plus this event marked the genesis of Mark Henry’s ‘Hall of Pain’

[@alexfarrell3250]

"No one boos Rey" Simon i think we're forgetting about the 2014 rumble

[@joetheman8550]

To be honest, the crowd pissed me off a bit when they booed Rey.

[@okagron]

Anyone, and i mean literally anyone, would get booed if they came out number 30 in that rumble. That was during the time where Daniel Bryan was at his most popular, and anyone else but Bryan coming out in rumber 30 meant he wasn't gonna be in the rumble.

One of the greatest Wrestling nights I Chicago. I’m glad I was able to attend with my brothers

[@SSJFutureGohan62093]

You’re very lucky

[@parlizard2565]

Mark henrys haul of pain stuff was brilliant he was destroying everyone on his to getting the world title, these ppvs where great

[@yash_prabhu]

CM Punk was the most talented wrestler WWE have had in a long time , they should have treated him better.

[@nevermindgaming6848]

Agree

[@kutlwanomere2138]

“Two eye’d Rey”😂😂

[@sudarshaniyer6201]

CM Punk vs Cens gets a Diamond up. Simon 72 counter: 97.

[@jhook6865]

WCW Bash at the Beach 1996. It did change wresting forever after all. Or the Nitro when Goldberg beat Hogan, that was nuts!

[@SCWTheWrestlingChannel]

Watching WCW at the moment and this was a solid ppv. If my suggestion doesn't get chosen then i'd love to see this reviewed by Simon

[@TheNoirAlien]

"Theres no turning back!"

[@bloodyiori]

Us Chicago fans know how to show love to our hometown heroes. Especially when he's finally get a title he's rightfully deserved forever.

[@shipking1995]

We Chicago fans should have gotten a golden up.

Lived in Chicago for a bit, now back home in the UK. Absolutely loved it over there, I went to a few different wrestling events including this one. Chicago fans are seriously the best.

[@chrisr6945]

You Chicago fans sure make the atmosphere for us UKers watching at home. There's only a few places in the US where the fans actually get heavily involved.

[@musakivines7721]

I came here knowing that Punk vs Cena was an easy golden up

[@bythebeardofmatt]

This was an absolutely fantastic recap of everything that happened during this show. Kudos to you, sir.

[@yash_prabhu]

Downs ?? Are you for real ? That was the best paperview we've had in the last decade .

[@Runnerboy2012]

paperview? Really?

[@nevermindgaming6848]

No

[@drfreshey]

"Our first down comes because of Michael Cole." Always a reasonable reaction.

[@gentlefistinfinity9780]

That main event still gives me chills. It was the crowd that immortalised that match. Simply beautiful.

[@Tenchigumi]

22:49 "And when all's said and done, you'll be like 'man that CM Punk, I'd really like him to come back to wrestling.'" And thus it was spoken, and thus it shall be.

[@TwoRandomAuzzies]

Suggestion: Royal Rumble 2001

[@matthewburr5075]

That’s a good one!

[@zacktyler485]

I agree 💯

[@joshcollins4545]

The casual shitting on Dave Meltzer was one of my favorite parts of the video lol.

[@drewwilson5026]

Lmao "I'm pretty sure one person in the crowd died" 💀💀

[@joho1745]

I almost did

[@B2tharizzz]

Honestly, Punk vs Cena is one of my top 5 favorite matches in WWE.

[@wingzero-0014]

CM Punk's 2011 pipe bomb aged quite well, as well as the Chicago crowd thunderous pop as he came to the ring and after winning WWE championship 🔥🔥

[@YoGranDaddyEvil]

I watched it live on PPV and to this day still my favorite match I got to experience. Everyone was waiting to see how they were gonna screw the ending to keep the belt on Cena. When Punk won, you just knew this was the beginning of a new era.

[@abdullahnisar4499]

And that era ended one month later

[@dangelopatten62]

Simon we need a shirt with “Ouudaladee” 😆

[@eagle3676]

That dig on Dave Meltzer was amazing. I seriously don't get how he didn't give Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker WM25 five stars. Whenever I go back to watch it, even without all the buildup and promos, it's still just awe inspiring

[@joho1745]

I was there....Miller is underselling how crazy we were December to dismember next!!!

[@TeQRiQ]

Simon's Vince McMahon impression is hilarious 😂

[@jaga9394]

Can't believe 2011 is now considered retro.

[@whammaster]

One of the best matches I've seen in a long time. Just like daniel Bryan winning the belt at WM.

[@SCWTheWrestlingChannel]

Suggestion for next week - SummerSlam 2002

[@howie_potterYT]

Good choice

[@williamrosmer8381]

i love this, but will he do it since it's a benoit heavy show?

[@ciarantreacy7721]

Can you do Survivor Series 2014? When Sting came out i marked out so bad. Also when Dolph Ziggler pulled the comeback of all comebacks.

[@GR8NE55]

The fact that R-Truth was afraid of heights here then years later climbed one in a Royal Rumble match thinking it was a Money in the Bank is hilarious. He showed that he overcame his fears and was ready to grab that briefcase...just way too late.

[@inflatablecarnival3172]

Simon is way more entertaining than any current WWE product . Glad he’s going old school so he doesn’t lose viewers that are put off by the current product .

[@tonyarose21]

No Way Out 2002. It was a payperview my family recorded on VHS after paying for it and for years, I watched it over when I got anxious because it was something familiar. lol. I do the same thing now with the WWE Network.

[@erniececil6668]

Wow, same. Go figure.

[@chunkyboyjames]

Next retro ups & downs surely has to be Bash at the Beach 96 or WrestleMania X-7. Failing either of them, I’d love to see KOTR 98, just because I want to know what you make of the Taker/Mankind HIAC.

[@Bruce19066]

OMG Simon you just got 1 Down for this Episode of UPS & DOWNS!! Who wouldnt cheer a giraffe?!?!

New Ups & Downs from All In would be really cool, even if it's only two years old

[@anofsti]

Or the ups and downs for the ups and downs for All In (post event improv episode)

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

This is by far the best pay per view of the 2010's

[@EvaIowaCubsFan]

I was at this show live, and being able to see it without the commentary made it so much more enjoyable. I watched it with the commentary and man it drags things down. I wish that Simon had access to a crowd noise only feed of the event to watch.

[@adamturner749]

Another awesome retro ups and downs! I would suggest, given as it is the time of year, Summerslam 1992 from wembley stadium.

[@mrkipling2201]

Yes please!!

Feud of the Year this year has to be Miller v Marx...😂

[@RISHABHPANDE]

I still remember being in shock after the Cm Punk pipebomb this was for me the best storyline of the last decade

[@TheReignofHorror]

One suggestion I have is wrestlemania 7 because it is a show that I cannot find a general consensus about, and I would like to hear your opinion.

[@riteshnalmar8345]

when he said the crowd did not care about mark henry vs big show i cared i loved mark henry vs big show from money in the bank 2011 that was a great match between 2 big guys and 2 powerful superstars

[@DillyDilly13]

Simon is so fuckin funny 😂 “they probably would’ve cheered a giraffe coming to the ring”

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Hey simon maybe make the next weeks choices all wrestlemania shows. Or maybe u should do ups and downs for every mania in order

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

Suggestion SummerSlam 92 from England because Brett and Bulldog had one of the best crowd reactions ever

Summerslam 2002! Summerslam 2020 is next week and this was imo the best Summerslam of all time

[@Damian_702]

I can't believe I got lucky enough to be there for the pipebomb promo. It was interesting then when he said douchebag I was like hmm that's not PG, is this real? Is this live on TV? What's going on? Then Michael Cole on the mic saying he was suspended Lol But since there was two RAW shows back to back that night, CM punk came back later so I immediately knew it was just all part of the show 😆

[@willielove3540]

This episode gets a golden up Simon was on point with everything keep making those videos

[@Atomykpimp]

I was at this match at the All State and a week later I’m at a ROH show in Chicago Ridge and we all thought Punk was gonna show up with the belt and it was a TV taping.

Because I'm a nerd I'm making sure to watch each show that wins the vote before the ups and downs. I was reluctant to watch this, as I am with most wwe post 2005. But shit, the Punk/Cena match... Epic. Suggestion: survivor series 98. Storytelling at its finest.

[@danielseckold4157]

You forgot about Alberto trying to cash in at the end of the ppv

[@everything80spodcast68]
