I'll put in for WCW Uncensored '96, Regal vs Finlay and a big dumb cage. That's all you need.

[@KevinWCase]

It was during a lockup in this match where Rock whispered in Rikishis ear planting the seed that would lead to Stone Cold getting run down.

[@nikhilmehta5913]

OMG IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!

[@davidkearney7933]

So what Simon said at the end is that he really wants to do the Katie Vick storyline, let's make him suffer.

Let's go really old school, SummerSlam 1994, Bret Hart v Owen Hart, WWF Title match in a Steel Cage, a true classic

[@11mousa]

Also: Petition to bring back the blue steel cage. This thing (imho) just looked so much better than what every company is using today

[@MessianicJewJitsu]

Bret and Owen versus The Steiners is old school

[@ScottTibur]

Armageddon 2008, Jeff Hardy’s wwe title win. The story built up to that was amazing. Do it Simon. Do it now.

[@Trippette]

WrestleWar 1982 - Sting's Squadron vs The Dangerous Alliance - WarGames

[@aachhu1112]

That'd be 92 I think

[@tkthetank]

Simon : Stone Cold didn't have any submissions Million Dollar Dream : Am I joke to you?

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

That's when he first came into the WWF as The Ringmaster.

[@tkthetank]

@@FMD-FullMetalDragon Yeah but that doesnt negate saying he just doesnt have any submissions in repertoire. Its not like he is a different character in the WWE Universe here. Same guy, updated gimmick. Thats different then lets say Kane who was a whole new character not associated with Issac Yankem. Ringmaster was Stone Cold. Chris Jericho still knew the Liontamer when he started using the Codebreaker. I bet good ol Steve knew how to lock in his version of the MDD even after adopting the Stunner. Great pitchers dont forget how to throw a curveball.

[@tafua_a]

@@FMD-FullMetalDragon He still had it as Stone Cold. The Ringmaster is canonically Stone Cold, and he still used it even in his later years on occasion. As a matter of fact, he had used it against Hart the previous Survivor Series

[@beesly01]

@@FMD-FullMetalDragon He pulled it out during Wrestlemania 17 vs Rock.

[@kaliswaltmanyes8811]

Summerslam 2005!!! Hulk vs Shawn, Eddie vs Rey for custody of Reys child! and Edge vs Matt Hardy with the Lita situation...

[@dannyniland2927]

Loved that PPV. Batista v JBL chris Benoit defeated Orlando Jordan in 25 seconds for US title. Like you said the ray and Eddie match and matt and Edge was great matchs. Masterpiece

[@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO.]

@@dannyniland2927 Taker vs Orton 2, and Cena vs Y2J was also a decent match.

[@dannyniland2927]

@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. yes you're right. Especially the y2j vs cena in a you're fired match. Plus rematch of orton vs taker after their wrestlemania 21 match

[@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO.]

@@dannyniland2927 i think the you're fired match happened the following night on RAW. Then Angle attacked Cena after the match.

[@dannyniland2927]

WCW Bash at the Beach 2000. Where Jarrett laid down for Hogan and Booker won his first World Title.

[@Bonesaw_McGraw]

Hell yes. It's so bad, Simon will make a funny video

[@bythebeardofmatt]

One of the more underrated praises of this series is how much insight and concise background Simon delivers. It really is a great job.

[@dhruvtrivedi1335]

Suggestion : Backlash 2000. THAT pop for Austin's return was unreal.

Wrestlemania 10 bret vs Owen and Shawn vs razor

[@TheReignofHorror]

My suggestion will be No Mercy 2002 Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit vs Rey Mysterio and Edge (inagural wwe tag title match) Triple H vs Kane (yes, from THAT storyline) Brock Lesnar vs Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)

[@TomTalksRubbish]

Bash at the beach 2000 next week! I bet even Simon can’t find an up in that show!

[@sepiarain]

When I was a kiddo the submission match made me get that crippling anxious empathetic tummy. I loved it and watched it over and over, even thiugh it disturbed me greatly. I wanted to be a wrestler as a kid until I started really studying bret and I decided wrestling must hurt too much because his selling was so real and good.

[@se_lym]

An early retro ups and downs upload. Golden up

[@SkylerRapier0]

Well flub me side ways, an early retro ups and downs 😄😄.

[@montelvontaviouspore]

First ever TLC match for retro ups and downs suggestion

[@EmperorRyuTokugawa]

Let's be honest the only reason we think Wrestlemania 13 is good is. Because of Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold

[@leegibson18]

I felt like the image of taker celebrating was quite cool too

[@anthonygunson7816]

WCW Halloween Havoc 1995. The monster truck duel when the giant supposedly falls off a building and is fine 20 minutes later. And of course the appearance of the yeti who does a double bear hug on hogan which looks incredibly suggestive. Keep upping those downs Simon, you’re so good you make me feel all happy in my tum tum.

[@jordanrumsey8649]

Retro ups and downs: wrestlemania 22 rey vs Orton vs angle mcmahon vs michaels cena vs triple h first time

[@nomaderic]

My uncle used to deliver fish in houston, somehow he met Ahmed Johnson through work and they became friends. I got to meet him a few times and he was always a really nice guy

[@stephenclosson6992]

Hey, yo. Awesome vid, Mr. Miller! I think WCW War Games 97 would be a fun PPV for Retro Ups and Downs. Thanks for everything you all do!

[@kareemkhederoo4092]

To be fair, Shamrock was probably one of the most terrifying men in the world back then. World’s Most Dangerous Man. ☘️

[@Clarkarias]

Nice to see the props for Owen Hart. Saying he was underrated doesn't begin to describe his talent.

[@fer619z]

i suggest wrestlemania 2000, which contained the fatal 4-way featuring a mcmahon in every corner, as well as the legendary triangle ladder match between the hardys, the dudleys and edge & christian

[@pt004]

a decent maina

[@joshuacain9845]

I say Wrestlemania 10, Razor vs Shawn in THAT ladder match and an amazing bout between Bret and Owen

[@liamwhite1234]

Survivor series 2003 Kane v Shane ambulance and Vince vs undertaker buried alive match

[@boboso4705]

I was 12, a huge undertaker fan, and this was the first WM I watched live in PPV. It was underwhelming as a match, especially looking back, but seeing my fav wrestler win the championship live was as exciting as seeing my team win a super bowl to 12 year old me.

[@leegibson18]

I feel like his win didn't get enough credit here. He got a great round of applause at the end and that image of him kneeling with the title is awesome

[@swapniljha2410]

The whole Katie Vick angle for next week

[@samemtp]

It was Goldust and Terri Runnels. Simon said Melina.

[@jackfrost9259]

She was called Marlena at the time in the WWF.

Fully loaded 1999 please

[@AnonymousRandomGuy006]

HBK truth is somewhere in the middle. He was burnt out with a minor knee injury and he took advantage of that to avoid dropping the title and losing to Bret. He could have wrestled through it but chose not to.

Backlash 2002, HHH vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan, last PPV match between Stone Cold and Undertaker

[@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO.]

Brock debut match, Edge vs Kurt Angle, RVD vs Eddie, Bradshaw vs Hall. It was a good pay per view.

[@DJDoubleCee]

Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold was definitely the best match on the card. I think that’s the only match a lot of people remember from this show.
