Retro Ups & Downs: WWE WrestleMania 9 - Worst Mania EVER

[@mariom6368]

I trust Simon as a modern version of a repo man.

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

I'd be good with that.

[@foxfireinferno3547]

I remember talking to a friend of mine who wasn't able to make my viewing of the PPV asking me "Who won between Bret Hart and Yokozuna?" I deadpan responded "Hulk Hogan." He had a total Blue Screen of Death moment in his brain.

[@jimbowlan5804]

That was a dumb decision I’d have just kept it on yoko

[@NehaGupta-fe4dw]

Let's do WWF invasion ppv .It could be a very nice ppv to talk about.

[@mariom6368]

That's a fun one!

[@sinjin4563]

Yeah everything fans would’ve wanted to happen at Survivor Series the last few years especially 2018 is what they did at Invasion 2001 in terms of counting the record of the matches and building it as a story through the PPV, having it be 3-3 by the main event and giving the main event more stakes in real time.

[@bobbiesuedavis5406]

Why is the Invasion storyline so popular all of a sudden🤔 Perhaps it's because it's the 20 year anniversary.

[@HenryT316]

[@pacman52280]

[@jb888888888]

He was also in the WM X7 Gimmick Battle Royal.

[@bentarbuck6161]

given what theyre doing with baron corbin, theres a great chance for a scene between him and repo man

[@dlee985]

I honestly didn't mind 9. Although it wasnt great.. IMO WM11 is the WORST.

[@scottwilson3642]

iX was the first PPV, I mean "premium live event" my parents had gotten me when I was a kid, and it seemed sooooo awesome then. Going back and watching it as an adult though, well I share Simon's sentiments. Overall, it gets a brown down from me as well.

[@MrSniperfox29]

To be fair, Heenan majorly sold Ramon beating Backlund, mainly because Ramon (the brawler) beat Backlund (the wrestler) with a wrestling move

[@daveterry4326]

This was one of my first shows I stayed up to watch live (in the UK)and I loved it at the time. Kind of don't want to go back to watch it again now

[@CUniverse]

*"CEASAR'S PARKING LOT!"*

[@W4ndererBen]

Can you do a Retro Ups & Downs on Summerslam 1991 "Match Made in Heaven"? It is the earliest PPV I actually remember watching and thought the Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect match was awesome. Also, anyone old enough will remember this was back when the PPV's were actually on Sky Movies (in UK) which now seems very random!

[@jamesgordon7040]

Unfortunately this was one of the first events I had on tape. I knew it was bad as a kid, but was naive and didn’t think it was terrible & god awful. I watched this event so many damn times. I was shook when Giant Gonzalez made The Undertaker pass out with the Chloroform. I was legitimately scared. Was so happy when the Undertaker sat up and made his way out the ring. Edit** this show was pretty much an episode of Raw with a special Ancient Greece theme with Togas, Charriots & horses. I don’t understand how this show is so bad & sandwiched between two good Wrestlemania’s, 8 & 10

LOL Simon! I can relate! When I was 11, I told all my friends I had a new mini bike in my garage but I wasnt allowed to ride it until I turned 12 (plus I started the lie in winter to buy me more time lol). I was obsessed with Evel K at the time, so I had to own my own motorbike of course lol. My friends all believed me at first, but then they wanted to see it in person. I kept making excuses why I couldnt have friends at the house, and when pressed, used my BICYCLE to make tracks in the snow, so I could show my friends the tracks lmao. Clearly they busted me, I was so embarrassed that my old man went and bought me a real 1971 Honda Mini Trail 50 cc mini bike...and suddenly I was a ok with my friends again lol. I seriously laughed when you told your metal plate in your arm story, so I had to share mine, Cheers mate,

[@Canadianhick]

thats the first shirt i have considered buying

[@Matt_1982]

WM IX sucks but I have a soft spot for it. It was the first WWF PPV that I was able to watch live in my own house as my parents had recently got satellite TV. Previously, I had to borrow tapes from friends. Since this tape belonged to me, I could watch it whenever I wanted. I think I must've watched it 30 times over the years.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

just when i thought that humour is dead along comes Simon. Thank god. ifthey put every programme in the history of film in front of him and he reviewed one after another for 100 hours a week he would have all of the money

Giant gonzolas looks like the words kind of attack on titan cosplay.

[@bastih.5264]

WM9 is not the worst of all time. Why is everyone giving out about the togas? It's CAESAR's palace. Hence a roman theme. And there a some quite okay matches (Michaels/Tatanka, Steiners/Shrinkers, Hart/Yokozuna, Luger/Perfect). Of course there's Giant Gonzales. And there's that whole Hogan rubbish. But I think WM11 is worse. And WM4 is also said to be very bad (excluding the finish of course).

[@matthewsmith4760]

Summerslam 2001. Stone cold Vs Kurt angle. The rock Vs booker t. Plus the awesome ladder match between RVD and Jeff hardy. Kane and undertaker Vs ddp and kanyon cage match. It was a pretty decent ppv

[@MetalED]

I was watching this and started thinking how the Montreal Screwjob is only 4.5 years away from this event. Which is really no time at all, but it seems like a lifetime. Also, SIMON!! Where can an asshole such as myself get that shirt?! I love it and I want it.

[@latrellmcdowell4198]
