Simon is the real MVP of wrestling YT. Always doing the most. Golden up for you, sir.

Nah man he’s so good he gets the first ever PLATINUM up

[@initailo1536]

Dude is prolly the best wrestling reviewer

[@ColetivoLunar]

Counting the signs is not arrogant, it’s actually a cool way to see your work pay off and a great way to promote what you do for us. Thanks Simon, I hope you feel better soon!

[@ThomasMHead]

Simon, you're a hero for Upping those Downs no matter what! And the Simon Sign Counter debuts! YES! I mean 🆙⬆️

[@Segwo]

Yeah!! I’m glad to see the counter got made. I say a golden up for Simon for continuing to up those downs even when he’s not feeling well

[@tomseville2345]

They missed a trick by not having Chad trying to "SSSHHOOOSSHHH!" Dexter, and Dexter just staring at him like *he's* a weirdo...

[@susanmcavoy9213]

😅😂🤣

[@murphtoast6326]

mj had one flu game. simon has had multiple in just a few weeks. who’s the real 🐐???

[@joshuamcskill5748]

As soon as I saw Hurt Business talking to Adam Pierce, I knew I had to see Simon's reaction! Get better soon Simon ! ♥️

[@davidarrington4144]

I really hope WWE keeps teasing the Hurt Business return until the Royal Rumble. Then, have Lashley return and win the Royal Rumble and go with a Bloodline vs Hurt Business feud all the way through Wrestlemania. They could have Apollo Crews join the Hurt Business along the way as a call back up to the main roster to even the odds as well

[@ARTPLAYSGAMES86]

Why Apollo?

[@unpopular6597]

he was in there before

[@codywillhite216]

Omos would make more sense considering MVP was his manager

[@ARTPLAYSGAMES86]

@@codywillhite216 I was actually thinking Omos too.

[@orlandogibson2309]

@@unpopular6597 no he wasn't, he refused to join.

[@andrewpark2563]

I've never thought of Montez as the heel, but his personality/gimmick is so outlandish it really could work, also get well soon simon, I'm in the same boat my friend, my ups are down at the minute 😀

[@adamirnukic4594]

The only thing about the Hurt Bussiness coming back is I think it'll be pretty hard to explain how MVP and Lashley are together again and why MVP presumably left Omos

[@gillgill02]

omos should join hurt business.

[@susanmcavoy9213]

Where is Omos??? Acting as a bouncer for Shane McMahon again?

Get well soon Simon, I went through this same thing several weeks ago, I’m still recovering and yea I hated the sleepless coughing nights myself. You get an up for all the effort man

[@SuperSonicShadow27]

Feel better soon, Simon! Don't push yourself too hard!

[@SuperCartiel]

Simon. Get well. Nuff said. PS: I give YOU an 'Up"!

[@riverme2994]

Giving Simon a GOLDEN UP for working even though he's not 100%

[@adityasingh1993]

Get well soon Simon. The year will definitely get better with all your positivity.

[@yingxian7296]

Theory somehow reminds me of Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot with that beard.

[@georgemetcalf8763]

Simon needs to start introducing himself as "The Whole Flubbin' Show."

[@strifenineteen]

"Simon Mill-er, The Whole Flubbin Show"

[@DVJ-]

Simon is always entertaining whether he is sitting, standing, or leaping off the ring post!

[@christopherlewis6915]

I died of happiness when i saw the Hurt Business in the background. I just hope their not being brought back to be fed to the bloodline. Either keep them far away from them, or let them win.

[@SMDoktorPepper]

I feel Simons pain..due to injury, its very hard to fall asleep, and when I finally do, neighbors decide early morning is the PERFECT time to start blaring bad rap.

[@ChangVicious]

Thank Yew Simon for still putting these videos out with such consistency and still putting your all into it with you going through this sickness. I hope you get better soon and thank you so much again for all the effort! You deserve a double golden UP!!!

[@shawnmichaels568]

Love how Bloodline invaded RAW, Sami zayn killed it "This is a message for everybody in the back, The Bloodline run this show" got me hyped. What a way to kick off RAW this year.

[@Hellbw0y]

Simon you absolute legend! I'm sending all of my strength and positivity! Be well soon yo!

[@msibi]

Bloodline having a hostile takeover is low key funny when you think about the fact that they hold titles on both brands.

[@uzairkapadia7554]

Simon Miller, YOU BALD AWESOME HUMAN BEING. Thank you so much for giving us ups and downs video even though you're sick. You don't only get an UP but a GOLDEN UP!!!

[@joeycobb9826]

Sitting down, standing up. Still get an up from me. Thanks Simon.

[@DerangedVoices]

You are the real MVP Simon. I recently had to go to the hospital because I got so sick from this new nasty bug going around, and here you are still making videos. As much as we love to see you, we'll be okay if you take some time off to rest and get better. We've had Simon fillers before and got through it, so take the time you need. I wish you a speedy recovery, so get well soon.

[@AmazingGuy13]

Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt are both having parallel stories on different brands right now

[@brandonlego]

Simon powering thru the New Year while being sick but still doing Ups & Downs 👍Sadly AJ Styles is Injured and I hope he gets well soon too

[@r3negade978]

Idk Simon's pay but dude deserves a raise for all he does. Dude is basically WhatCullure

[@caseym9656]

I’m so glad you’re doing the sign counter! I’m so bringing a sign next time and my boyfriend can just deal with being embarrassed.

[@seancrisel5994]

Hope you feel better soon!! I cannot wait for you to show up here in America in AEW we all know its gonna happen Book it TK!

[@rok79863]

Simon, that sign says to give yourself a GOLDEN up! And after this last year, you deserve a couple a them golden ups.

[@sheba021]

This is easily the best Ups & Downs of 2023 so far!

[@tomseville2345]

Thank God Solo didn't sell the guitar shot from Hardy. Because he DID sell the tambourine...🤣🤣Also, the tambourine cymbal flying off and hitting the ref was awesome too...

[@bizzlelianpaw2916]

"The only problem I had, was that Solo didn't kill him! Lmao!!! The way Simon reads my mind!

[@elvis13577]

No worries,Simon! This Ups & Downs was, by far,the MOST Entertaining of 2023 - I’m also gonna use that joke for a few weeks…. Great job under duress 🤒 FEEL BETTER SOON!

[@Hmmm_B]

The Hurt Business teases might be my favorite thing in wrestling right now not involving the Bloodline. Can’t wait for Bobby to return and make it official

[@shanecampbell7423]

Golden Up for the GOAT of KZbin, Simon Miller. Thank you for your dedication to entertaining us, good Sir.

[@HiddenGhul]

Dominik ‘the Razor’ Guerrero is something I need

[@onyroo]

I like the Professor X POV in this episode.

[@raisingcainyt]

I'm with everyone else on here on the fact that it's not arrogant. You put in the work to put on a great YT show for us, you deserve it. Especially still doing videos while sick.

[@Rayzersword]

Dominik doing his best Razor Ramon impression is hilarious.

[@johnsloss9672]

Not arrogant giving yourself the ups its us fans wanting it especially our lovely American audiences too love your work its deserved your one good man!

[@victorianohuntington6481]

I'm shocked that judgement day barely had any time on raw this week

[@mr.flaxonwaxon9283]

Get well soon Simon, thanks for fighting through it to provide us with the Ups and Downs that matter the most!

[@curtisbradley6150]

You can even hear Elias at one point helping solo out and saying follow me when he splashes in the corner

[@The.Foolosopher]

Simon Miller sick is still better than most other KZbinrs at 100% health.

Golden up for Simon for being the one wrestler we can always depend on.

[@joeybeard7709]

No lie your the reason, I got back into pro wrestling I had stopped watching for years until I found your channel a few years ago ✊🏾

[@matt3jg]

You absolute legend. Hope you feel better soon, everyone in our house had a really strong flu, my wife even had to spend time in hospital with it. Look after yourself Simon.

[@elijahmorfin5445]

First of all Simon you're an amazing person! Thank you for continuing to host ups and downs and for making it a pleasure to watch :-). Secondly is in my opinion I could be wrong, because I know Seth Rollins is a darn good entertainer, but from looking at how he was with his knee, I have a feeling he might be really injured. I think this because I had a knee injury, and his actions on how he was protecting it is something I would do.

[@gking2709]

Even though Simon is down, he still gets an Up

[@michaelagbeti5904]

Get well soon Simon. We love and appreciate you

Sending you positive vibes Simon! Hope you get well soon and thanx for pushing forward and upping those downs!

[@KyLewin]

Way to stick it out, Simon! I hope you feel better soon. Despite being sick, you still did a great job with the recap.

[@scotttompsettii6794]

Hey Simon, you ever think about doing a "live ups and downs?" Lol go to a show, preferably sitting behind comentary-i know hard seats to get- and throughout the show hold up an up arrow or a down arrow! That would be awesome! Vinnie would probably never go for it but HHH might go with it!

[@ElenaV.1314]

😆😆 That would be epic!

[@clintdeangelis5082]

That would be fun... Until Simon gets bounced out of the arena LOL

[@JonathanStrickland]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Anyone who has ever done any kind of performance knows how tough it can be when you're under the weather, and you still make an entertaining and insightful episode. Simon while sick > most presenters while well.

[@shawnmichaels568]

Get better soon simon, You're the man.

[@chuckmckendry194]

Simon.. take care of yourself, we love the show, but more importantly we, your fans, love you more. That being said, take whatever time you need off to recover. Your health & wellbeing are far more important.

[@johnshort5830]

I swear to god, KO's selling of that superkick sliding down ol Bazza the Barricade was one of the funniest things ive seen in wrestling in years if ever. Some goofy wrestling right in the middle of some really good serious wrestling.

[@mirroboylx]

Simon, you’re awesome!! Even if he missed a week or two of ups and downs I wouldn't be mad. Especially if he is sick

Cory Graves mentioned one of my favorite artists halfway through the Solo and Elias match and I think I had a stroke.

[@ourladyofguadalupebotanica6732]

The UP counter is not arrogance or ego. It is the fan base doing something which we can control. We can't control DQ finishes, or repeat matches, or interruptions. But we can control the UP counter. It's not only Simon's, it is all ours.

[@SilverSkywalker]

Thanks for what you do, Simon!! I don't think anyone would be mad if you took a break to take care of yourself! But because you fight through it, you definitely deserve a Golden "UP"!!! Salute!!💯💯💯💯👍
