Ups & Downs: WWE SmackDown Review (Mar 8)

[@killer109536]

Seth telling The Rock to shut the hell up.. has anyone done that since Stone Cold? LOL And then "mr mid life crisis".. god damn was that good.

[@AliFrankTheTank]

That cross dresser was spittin 😂😂😂

[@djstevie69]

This is why HHH is the goat. Details!!! 😅

[@BobbyCrosthwaite]

Cody slapping the rock turn about is fair play

[@KZ900R]

Rock’s entrance took so long I was waiting for the sponge bob narrator “6 hours later” and he would still be half way down the ramp

[@Thetribalchair]

The rock got out of his pickup truck he drunk some Steveweisers and he was probably listening to the Backstreet Boys

[@SSJ2Phenom]

It's a shame how many ppl won't get this, but brilliant!

[@vb2806]

And that's the bottom line because the great one said so

[@kevingriener7441]

8:15 - dude, the most impressive thing to me about Tiffany Stratton is how good she makes the handspring elbow look. I mean, yeah, the moonsault is a thing of beauty, obviously, but there are a lot of really good moonsaults out there. Hell, Ivar's is pretty nice. But nobody, and I mean, NOBODY, has ever made that handspring back elbow look good until Tiffy Time. It was a favorite move of Chyna's but it always looked shit when she did it or anyone else for that matter. Tiff makes it look like offense.

[@golden90s57]

Yall are really licking tiff boots aren't you? This is the 3rd time iv seen her botch a move. The move im talking about is the moonsalt. Tiff is Overrated RN. Ima start calling her botch time

The fact that the rock acknowledged Dustin Rhodes as a future hall of gamer is golden

That's one tough TV that LA beat up. It didn't even get "busted open".... Main Event at Wrestlemania: 63 inch TV vs LA in a no holds barred match. The TV can use its channels and HDMI cables😂😂😂

[@chrislovesyoubb]

Bobby and the Profits deserve better. This entire storyline has major go away energy, and I can't believe it's apparently continuing.

[@auxeye85]

This is all great stuff, not only the WWE bits but Simon reviewing it..Great stuff!

[@darkspartan86]

Simon failed to mention which head Randy poured the prime drink on lmao

[@domdellanooch]

I think the reason the LWO & LDF feud is working is cause we know the why and its clear. Santos got jelly of Carlito and turned and now wants to be a better LWO. I have no idea why Final Testament is going after them. Maybe they said it at some point but the story isn't clear.

[@kevingriener7441]

I think they're supposed to be rival churches, or something. Maybe it's a metaphor?

[@MrParker-ux2mh]

THAT THUMBNAIL IS CRAZY!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@edvinrosenqvist524]

The Rock's entrance was the best ever. And it is not Wrestlemania.

[@Dr_1212]

I missed Smackdown but from the thumbnail I see Cody slapped back 😆😎 Simon 👍

[@tomseville2345]

Funniest thing for me about the Prime logo reveal, is it was "Cherry Freeze", and I was drinking a Lucozade Wild Cherry at the time; nearly spat it and had a coughing fit... 🤣🤣

[@Cyrribrae]

FWIW, while I also find the Bobby vs Kross stuff a bit lackluster as a whole, I did find Karrion's promo backstage afterward both compelling in the ways of old and intriguing in terms of story. Kross reviving the Street Profit breakup storyline by putting over Montez is an interesting angle to build because it weaves real life history into the fiction in a way that does feel consistent with the conniving that Kross is supposed to have done in all of these other feuds he was in lol.

[@chrisg3193]

the way simon that explained the bailey segment with bianca and naomi is the reason why hes the best, it made me laugh to where i want to watch it cause hes right about everything he said, sounds refreshing

[@AliFrankTheTank]

W segments between these four, so much star power !!! Rock/Roman vs Cody/Seth night 1 into Seth vs Drew (Co Main) & Roman vs Cody (bloodline rules? or no?) is 🔥🔥🔥..can’t wait for 🔔4️⃣0️⃣

[@ZackAttack5858]

Look up Karrion Kross's post-match interview. This feud is gonna turn up

[@levieady8693]

Anyone notice that when the rock entered the ring, Paul Hean and Jimmy uso turned to look at him and solo and Roman kept their backs turned to him?

[@Hawkeye26]

"I'm Mario!" best line of the video. 🙂

[@ChunkyKong-47]

I really like Tiffany but it think they should slow down her push a little bit. She’s a obviously a very good wrestler but you can tell she’s still green and it’s obvious that a decent amount of the people cheering her aren’t cheering for her as a wrestler but because she’s the new pretty blonde girl. I’m just slightly scared that creative is doing too much to cater to fans who are fickle and inevitably will get bored of her whenever they find something new

[@DJDoubleCee]

Too bad SmackDown went off the air right after Cody slapped The Rock. I was curious to see what The Rock was going to do.

[@mazenmaged]

He did nothing just said something then left with roman & paul heyman

I really love what WWE is doing with Tiffany and Bron. They got called up and are being showcased. However, I’m super annoyed that WWE called up Indi Hartwell at last year’s draft but have yet to do anything with her.

[@RealElMaximo]

1. I wonder if Rock's mention of Dustin Rhodes as a future Hall of Famer is a tease of things to come in the next few weeks 2. The LA/AJ feud is giving me serious "Smackdown before Wrestlemania" vibes, unfortunately. I hope they're added to the US Championship match to prevent this.

[@ddjsoyenby]

tiffany stratton is a huge star.

[@bookerreid8929]

8:01 PM EST- I tell my girlfriend that I hope she’s ready for 20 minutes of storyline exposition. 9:37 PM EST- Roman’s music hits and she says, “I guess it’s an early night for the referees.”

[@justintallman3398]

Kudos to Simon for shouting out how well KSI took and sold the RKO, he made it looks flush. Had to have hurt.

[@bbsy1]

Actually the one time HHH teamed with Kane, RVD and I think Hardy, during the interview they brought up all their beef.

[@Lg_Lantern]

the rocks entrance could only be made better by having a new mix of the 'is cooking'

[@kamballer2159]

The show last night live was great. Including the 2 dark matches.

[@terryweekes7649]

I think the fued between lashly-Proffits and kross's group would be more interesting if it was used to introduce trios championships in a cage match between the 2 factions at mania

[@86shadowpenguin]

The Rock straight up said if Cody lost he can never go for the title again. Wasn't insinuated.

[@judshuttie70]

What culture have got to be dumbest bunch of wrestling content creators on KZbin they get everything wrong, Simon great guy but cmon rocks new entrance isn't lightning it's electricity surging FFS he calls himself the most electrifying man on god's green earth FFS, youcould at least explain that to kids that watch, I'm sure he must know I'm just salty because that little negative twerp called skidwick on the podcast is ruining it, nothing is ever good enough so why dosnt he disappear and go do a aew podcast if it's so much better.

[@Jaymez2012]

I think he meant that it wasn't added to the stipulations of their next match for the belt at WM. They didn't really make it clear that Cody will no longer "officially" be allowed to challenge for the title ever again. Just that after the match, Cody's "story" will be finished, which "insinuates" the same thing, but could also just be them telling Cody to give up or that at the very least Roman will never bother accepting a challenge for the title from Cody again even if he wins RR for the third time, which is pretty much how all this started. Until a stipulation like that is made officially clear, I think insinuating here is accurate.

[@86shadowpenguin]

But the Rock says "I'm a member of the board do you know what that means? Cody if you lose you will never get another chance at this title ever again." It was crystal clear

[@avishekdutta9404]

What if Seth turns on Cody on WrestleMania aligning him with the bloodline which helps in to keep his title with their help This would lead to more fun when CM will return and also DREW being screwed again😂

[@SamuraiFoochs]

Nah. Cody is winning. He has to after what Rock said last night. Also that would suck.

[@tomseville2345]

Don't know what it is, but non-wrestlers/novice wrestlers have always taken the RKO better than a lot of veteran wrestlers; Stacy Keibler, Mark Cuban, Wayne Brady, Logan himself and KSI in particular...

[@armysheep75]

But why was Michin wrestling the Pink Cadillac Diner? I don't know what look Tiffy Time was going for, but it looks like the seat covers for a 50's diner, in pink. Haha. Good match though
