Retro Ups & Downs: WWE WrestleMania 29

[@archiebrownjourno]

The story from Jericho about his match with Fandango on Inside The Ropes is hilarious

[@edvinrosenqvist524]

To honor the great career of Triple H, please do retro ups&downs of SUMMERSLAM 1998 when Triple H and The Rock had a fantastic intercontinental-ladder match.

[@paulwoodford6229]

Patience 😎

[@joshfreiermuth9352]

Great card! I'd love to watch SUMMERSLAM 1998 on a retro video.

[@SirZapdos]

Suggestion for a future Retro Ups & Downs: No Way Out 2009. Two fantastic Elimination Chamber matches, one of Shane's final appearances before disappearing for 7 years, and a nice moment for HBK. Also, I find it funny that The Rock's injuries cost the studios MILLIONS (AND MILLIONS).

[@srirams2227]

CM Punk according to me had the best match of the night and he definitely deserved to be in the main event for his work.

[@ahmedabdul-rehman6511]

Hello? In the 434 day championship reign of CM Punk, even when Cena wasn't the champion, Cena was always the main event. Punk was forever an after thought for the idiots of WWE. Moreover, didn't you see how he was made to drop the title to The Rock the same year in Rumble? Embarrassing for a superstar like Punk

[@boyankovachev7982]

@@ahmedabdul-rehman6511 The saddest part is that WWE could have made things perfect by making the main event a triple threat by adding Punk. This way we wouldn't be complaining about"Twice in a lifetime" and Punk may have stayed for, at least, a bit more, but maybe even a year or two, could have given us some more awesome wrestling. I didn't invent this idea, but, imo, that's the best possible way to do everything. One love ❤️

[@aztecwrrior1997]

At least the co-main and not HHH vs Lesnar even though that match had the Games career on the line

[@billserad1869]

Having the best match doesn't put u in the main event. Drawing money does.

[@ahmedabdul-rehman6511]

​@@boyankovachev7982 Totally agree. Part time champions are ridiculous like Goldberg or The Rock. Brock Lesner, although he is also a part timer, is not an ex-professional. I don't like him either, I guess I don't hate him as much as I hate others. Goldberg at the age of 50+ defeated the likes of Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens. Just imagine?

[@christophermccray6528]

IMO, CM Punk should've headlined this WrestleMania with Rock and Cena.

[@tclark6989]

Agreed. A triple threat would have covered more downtime for Rock without the match slowing down.

[@watersandblue6001]

100%

[@hazardtriplezero]

"Allen The Announce Table" and "Barry The Barricade" are gold.

[@Jeyapollo]

I highly recommend Unforgiven 2006 Randy Orton vs Carlito is a slept on match DX vs The Mcmahons and Big Show in a HIAC John Cena vs Edge in a TLC match

[@mcnonswagger3872]

That and 05. Matt V Edge Angle V Cena

[@Germaniac77]

This was the frist (of five) Mania´s that i attended live. You can even see me in numerous camera-shots. Even though it was my first Mania, i felt underwhelmed. The only match that got the crowd pumped was Punk vs Taker. You could hear a needle drop during HHH vs Lesnar. This Mania was missing backstage-moments. But the stage was wonderful. probably he best stage (next to WM 33). PS: They obviously choose Fandango vs Jericho because Jericho competed on "Dancing with Stars" prior to this. The Raw next night was awesome though.

[@aodhancurran8169]

First*

[@bentarbuck6161]

Punk v Taker was one of my favourites because it was pretty much the only time I felt there was even a chance of the streak ending prior to it happening

[@TonyStark-ef8oz]

I actually liked this mania. The feuds were all cool and were perfect. It's one of my favorite.

[@_JC_21]

..... Ehh.

[@leeeckerson2728]

Survivor Series 2003 I’ll request this one forever so I can hear Simon do a retro review on his Uncle Goldberg again and I also know how much he loves death innuendoes in wrestling lol Severely underrated Seeing Vince McMahon getting busted open spattering blood all over the announcers desk then almost 2 decades later he says he would never televise that kind of gory stuff Triple H Bounty storyline on Goldberg to either shelf or kill him by any means necessary then watching the match where it’s semi awkward because they don’t know how to communicate

[@boyankovachev7982]

7:03 "His opponents* are Dolph Ziggler Vs Big E" Simon, mate, I thought this was a tag team match. Jk. Jk. Thanks for the video, it's as great as all of your videos always are. The hardest working person in ALL OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING internet community. (If you know, you know) And you deserve a Simon Up, which should be the highest award that could be given in this show, because it's named after the One who wields the Finger, or temporarily the Fist, of Power. One love ❤️ *talking about Bryan, but also team Hell No, cuz they were having match, not just him

[@artistmachine]

You should do something for Randy Orton's 20 year anniversary. Or do the Monday Night Raw where DX takes over.

[@mohamedyussuf847]

Lmao lol Sheamus really needs his old theme song back so bad specially with his new/old hairstyle! The man is completely underrated

[@cadenbranscum2309]

Retro ups and downs on my birthday... I love this!

[@Momen391]

Happy birthday 🎈

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

Tbh I think that dave guy is hella tight with star ratings

[@wwesvk9958]

NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS 2010 Please 👍 its Very good & underrated show!

[@canuckj8382]

Great video, I remember watching mania 29 and being so happy when hbk super kicked paul heyman and i totally agree about rock vs cena, the outcome was about as predictable as yokozuna vs reno riggins on superstars or wrestling challenge back in the day, would love if you reviewed Summerslam 1990

[@pepito2847]

Ngl I liked Alberto Del Rio during his babyface run His rivalries with Big Show and Swagger were actually pretty engaging to me as those two were great heel opponents The Si! Si! chants were also pretty fun

[@yasa122]

Love your work Simon! A suggestion I have is Backlash 2007 since its Backlash season! Cena v Michaels v Edge v Orton is pretty underrated!

[@reesdonfamily_yt4968]

Big show turned heel exactly 200,567 times 😭

[@osmosisbless]

Big Show turned 32 times so far in his 22 years career according to google

[@theericglife]

Best wrestling review show in the world!

[@angelkitty32001]

Would love to see WM VII and/or Royal Rumble 92 in the future please 😃

[@Monaayy29]

I think he's done Royal Rumble 92

[@angelkitty32001]

@@Monaayy29 Just had a look and couldn't see it, but am willing to be proven wrong

[@jaylanphillips7045]

I could’ve sworn miz won the title from bnb on the preshow

[@renegade5161]

He did. Simon made a misake

[@RandomCommentary.]

The thumbnail had me rollin😂

[@vemberyte]

What happened to summerslam 98 wasn't that the one he made mention to last year but we never made happen? Let's make it happen I wanna know what he thought

[@TheFightMan]

I literally watched cm punk vs taker this morning 😂😂

[@vanessastegall]

Simon, Retro ups and downs SummerSlam 2014! If you haven’t done that one

[@KnomadDojo]

Alexander Anderson TFS = Shemaus 😂😂😂 I didn’t notice til Simon read it

[@kabeerahmed4588]

I just remember that the theme "Invincible" was my fav ever

[@willyrondon6951]

Wrestlemania 3!! I'm amazed that, unless I missed something, there isn't a Retro ups and downs of it

[@TonyStark-ef8oz]

Unforgiven '08 is one of my all time favorite ppvs. Kendrick was WWE Champion for a little bit lol. Also good ones are WrestleMania 26 and SummerSlam '09.

[@TheFifaPredictor2000]

The miz won the IC title he wasn’t the champion coming into the show

[@ananyaraizada7657]

And he was babyface for some reason going into this match

[@miker4883]

A lot of fans sat on their hands for the first match because it had started to rain, and it was damn cold there

[@AidanAustin316]

Simon, do a ups and downs of Triple H's career and the undertaker's career too

[@Tuturial464]

The main event was personally one of my favorites and it made me realize how much the rock was a great star despite the heat from the worst heels of all time. The people

[@jdnaz1288]

Are you guys gonna do the Ups & Downs for Rebellion?

[@hendawg77]

Of course you have to beat John Cena to get in the Hall of Fame. That's how this works. You have to beat AJ Styles to get into the Royal Rumble. Beat Cena for the Hall of Fame

[@hrishik_1503]

What's the reference behind the AJ Styles thing?

[@ssmelche]

Yes! I can hear you Clem Fandango!

[@arielljasonmalanog4201]

Yo simon do retro ups and downs for unforgiven 2006 😁

[@calvinkevick9152]

Survivor Series 2003! Im dying to see you up those downs.

[@wbcwinnipegbeltcollector]

I think to highlight HHHs career There can be Royal Rumble 2002 Or Wrestlemania X8 There's so much positive fun Content in both those shows as well as their low points some good matches and segments

[@HiHello-Opd]

Let's do the night Rick Rude was on both Raw and Nitro in the same night

[@GameOverAus]

Only just realised Paul Heyman was taking on the streak 2 yrs in a row and got "his client" got it done the 2nd time around

[@watchdev9446]

Thx Simon, I am more than happy to blame The Rock👍

[@michaelcomley3343]

Can we get a ranking every big show heal turn video? It probably gonna be like 2 hours and take forever to make but I’d watch

[@chrisqi639]

0:52 it would mean that Undertaker's streak will end in Roman Reign‘s hand, damn

[@martinporteous1990]

The fact hack swagger didn’t get a proper entrance either was proper disrespectful

[@adamlennard1828]

It’s like Brian Zane said the taker vs punk match was great because it was just Taker beating a guy for acting like a prick.

[@SithCats]

Simon is wrong on several points: 1. Nobody actually cared about Fandango. The Fandangoing thing was just a meme that was born from the audience being bored and goofing around to make their own entertainment. 2. Brock losing that match was good, actually. 3. Most people didn't want to see Rock vs. Cena again because it was painfully obvious that not only was Cena going to win, but the entire reason CM Punk had kept the title for 434 days was just so he could lose it to Rock so that HE could lose to Cena. So this rematch that nobody wanted ruined 6+ months of WWE television.

[@bkachief]

I was at this WrestleMania, courtesy of one of the 100 free trips from WWE

[@Blackbeard0531]

Please please please do Summerslam 2000! My favorite show of all time!!!

[@robertvigil9141]

Retro ups and downs for. Judgment day 2004 JBL vs Eddie. 🔥🤘🔥

[@LiftandCoa]

5:40 I majorly disagree here, im a strong advocate for "If it doesnt work on a bear, you dont do it in the ring"

[@rjames83]

I just literally found out that Simon miller is in wrestling code The video game. That for me the game gets a golden up. I will now be buying the game the roster is looking insane. 🤠

[@TheJoker1701]

Could you do a retro ups and downs for wrestlemania 8?

[@aztecwrrior1997]

I HAVE THIS DVD!!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST WHAT A TIME

[@WilbertMoore]

“Maybe Undertaker’s streak would still be alive today!” Welll, he still would’ve had to go through THE BIIIIIIIIIIG DAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWGGG ROMAN REIGNS!!!!!!!! So he probably would’ve lost it then

[@auglicious]

I only remembered CM Punk v Undertaker and Cena v Rock II...I could not remember a single other match from this Mania.

[@danielbridger7113]

my favorite wrestlemania ever! closely followed by wrestlemania 10. plus cm punk vs undertaker, best wrestlemania match ever

[@bugsquashinghero891]

Happy to see some new wrestling fans

[@rayhoyer4829]

I was there my first and last mania!

[@devlinw4735]

weird to think that paul heyman was at ring side for the two of the matches, one being the undertaker and that the other person he was at ringside with would beat the streak the following year

[@anthonyor226]

i was there and here a few things that people didnt know. 1. it rain for a few mins before the show started 2. it was freaking cold. 3. after big show turn heal and walk up the ramp a fan threw a bag of popcorn and got eject from the arena 4. donald trump got the biggest boos in the show 5. after the taker/cm punk match the crowd was burnt out and little to no reaction when HHH and brock cames out here a few thing i was disappointed when i was there 1. no national anthem 2. no opening pyro 3. aj lee was back in NJ and no matches 4. no diva matches 5. no backstage promo

[@doctorawesomeness6922]

CM Punk was the last challenger to the Undertaker's undefeated streak.

[@KHWrld999]

I love how the triple h Brock lesnar match got an up and 2 downs

[@Oh_Ehm_Gee]

first ever PPV I went to live. While it may not be the best PPV, it was definitely the best experience for me. Wouldn't change a thing that happened on this show.

[@markuswithak5084]

Rebellion Ups and Downs when?!

[@AquaLeaderJesse]

I wouldnt have minded if punk ended taker's streak, I just didn't want it to happen after back to back ppv losses

[@apollorllyonit]

Wrestlemania 29 gets overlooked as one of the best WrestleMania’s of all time.

[@wwesvk9958]

KMA 🤣🤣🤣

[@stonecold6521]

What's next? A retro review for last year's Royal Rumble? Retro reviews should be for events that happened around 20 years ago.

[@musakivines7721]

Simon started doing ups and downs in 2016, so retro ups and downs are for events before that time period

[@booksboyspodcast]

I agree. I'd say attitude era or earlier

[@aztecwrrior1997]

1:37 the Miz won the Intercontinental Championship from Wade Barrett who was going in as Champion c'mon Simon don't do errors like this man but hey Wade did regain the Championship the next day on RAW Christ Jesus that reign was short

[@ssww3]

Fun fact this mania was live in the cold

[@yagr99]

is Dave Meltzer still a thing??

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

Cm punk vs taker was the best match at wm29

[@buhbuhjaychampagne1706]

The whole “We The People” was over. The fans chanted it at EVERY show. It’s just Swagger couldn’t deliver on the mic or ring to take it to the next level.

[@booksboyspodcast]

Canr we set a 15 year rule for retro

[@sinjin4563]

To correct Simon Miz won he I.C. Title against Barrett in pew show of mania 29 not retained.

[@aztecwrrior1997]

17:40 Christ Jesus get this dude off of the Millertron

[@stevengoltz7621]

You need to do a retro Ups and Downs on the RAW that went on strike.

I don't see how Swagger's "we the people" gimmick was I'll advised. It was even over for a good amount of time.

[@thebigbop5866]

The gimmick wasn't ill advised, it was getting over pretty big. Him smoking weed was ill advised, they stopped caring about promoting the gimmick after that.

[@Muhammadwasapedo]

@@thebigbop5866 but Simon said the gimmick was ill advised in the video. Unless I'm hearing it wrong, which is a possibility since I just got concussion recently.

[@thebigbop5866]

@@Muhammadwasapedo It was a 'controversial' gimmick, it would be ill advised if it was a damp squib but it was over like rover. They were going full pelt with it until he got in trouble for marijuana. Something is only really ill advised if it were to fail on its own merits. It failed because of different reasons. Good luck with your recovery brother and hope I didn't make this hard to read as I wrote it. Take your time getting over it and sleep like a baby as much as you can.
