New Year's Revolution 2006. Please pick this one. I want to talk about Edge cashing in his money in the bank on John Cena.

[@SCWTheWrestlingChannel]

One more suggestion - WrestleMania 28! Rock vs Cena. Punk vs Jericho. Taker vs HHH inside HIAC! Need I say more. Let’s up those downs!

[@SlamJamMcCam]

No Mercy 2005 would be a good followup to this. Eddie’s last PPV

[@bradleybrandl181]

I'd like to see you get angry doing the ups and downs for December to Dismember from 2006.

[@standardofexcellence]

Downs and ups, all he needs to do is turn heel

[@RollerCodsterWFEW]

@@standardofexcellence 😂👏👏👏

[@kurtpaulsen6579]

@@standardofexcellence um... What ups?😂

[@brandonmorrison7912]

They did it!

[@mrpogo72]

He eventually does it and it’s everything you’d hope it would be. It’s glorious and hilarious.

[@MetalED]

I remember watching this show live and still not believing Eddie won even when he's holding the belt. The crowd just explodes here, one of my favorite matches ever, even with the shenanigans at the end.

[@nandonandez1795]

It was one of the greatest moment I ever saw on TV honestly the crowd was max turned up. Eddie was so beloved

[@MetalED]

@Hey Momma Yeah, by shenanigans I really mean Goldberg getting involved.

[@standardofexcellence]

Upsets in scripted sports work when done right and sparingly

[@Relaxoli]

Let's make Simon happy and finally give him a Repo Man Match. Suggestion: This Tuesday in Texas 1991 (only PPV Victory of the man who reposesses things)

[@standardofexcellence]

Summerslam 92?

[@jhook6865]

WCW Bash at the Beach 1996

[@ethancrout6159]

Wrestlemania 22. It had everything!! Mick Foley vs. Edge. Fire and tables. A great money in the bank match. A Vince fight. And Rey won the heavy weight championship in honor of Eddie. Plus it was in Chicago!!!

[@joeythagreat2270]

Wm20 because when benoit won the title and the celibratio with eddie is just the best wm moment in history

[@adamturner749]

Eddie winning the WWE title is literally 1 of the greatest moments in WWE history. I remember it so well and was genuinely emotional that Eddie finally got the big 1 that he had deserved for so so long. Eddie is still so hugely missed to this day. To add a possible suggestion I would go with WWF royal rumble 1992 as the rumble match is considered 1 of the 2 best rumble matches ever. The other being the 2001 rumble.

[@j0njn]

How about This Tuesday in Texas? It means you can talk about Repo Man 😁

[@kurtpaulsen6579]

He could also do Summerslam 92 for that...Repo Man faced Crush there... And it was of course in Simon's home country...

[@Retromags_Brian]

Yes. Something that is actually retro finally.

[@Kingshit69]

I miss Eddie so much i know he'd be so proud of Dominik and would have made an awesome Stable with Rey and Dom

[@quintonmouser3441]

Eddie died on my birthday. He was my second favorite wrestler. So that was a sad thing to wake up too on my birthday of all days :/

[@tmage23]

Same here. I'd just turned 36 (ugh. Sometimes I feel so old)

[@jedshaffer5956]

My suggestion - WCW WrestleWar 1992, home of the best War Games match in history.

[@SCWTheWrestlingChannel]

Jed Shaffer I really enjoyed that War Games. Dangerous Alliance were a great stable

[@alfmtz1080]

Suggestion: TNA Victory Road 2011....I’m not giving up!

[@DRH1302]

Alf Mtz isn’t that the one where Jeff hardy showed up under the influence

[@richardwilcox2784]

All the Jeff Hardy fans will ensure this 1 doesn't get voted in,lol

[@raineydayscott]

9 years ago isn't retro

[@alfmtz1080]

Scotty Prime he already did money in the bank 2011 and summerslam 2013 so....

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

No Way Out 04 was one of my favourite Smackdown ppv's of the ruthless aggression era, Eddie Guerrero winning the wwe title and beating Brock Lesnar in a fantastic match is one of my favourite non Wrestlemania moments of all time. It truly was a feel good moment where the right person won the title and everyone was genuinely happy

[@jareddavis2213]

Armageddon 2008, Jeff Hardy becomes WWE Champion

[@GotAnUmbrella]

Read this as Arm-bar-geddon 2008 somehow

[@xavienwalker7215]

Suggestion: Unforgiven 2006 (Cena/Edge in TLC match, Trish's "retirement match", and the DX/McMahon's Hell in a Cell match)

[@RobPlaysGamesTime]

What he said! One of my favorite matches of all time!

[@brittanyyoung1444]

SUGGESTION: Wrestlemania 19

[@andrewlaing8122]

Brian Zane (Wrestling with Wregret) has a good review of Westlemania 19 on his channel

[@Stopcommentingthesamecomments]

No do the ppv right after this wm 20

[@aprobl_m]

WrestleMania 20 next!!!

[@luisponce3238]

I'm still suggesting for Survivor Series 2003 and Summerslam 2002 ever since the first retro ups and downs

[@its2006baby]

Simon said, "The most devastating move in all sports entertainment the surprise roll up" in the video, I loved it 😂

[@jaiminparmar3506]

He did. Looks like you are not paying attention 🤔

[@corn2164]

He did say it in the Rey vs Chavo match

[@its2006baby]

My bad I was too much invested in eddie vs brock ! 😁😁

[@tonybishop7215]

Rest in peace Eddie Guerrero. ✌💚😎

[@ThePaineTrain]

Watching Eddie win the WWE Championship still gives me goosebumps.

[@Vaughandrix]

It cracks me up when Simon reviews the diva segments, let's vote for Armageddon 2002 to see his reaction to Torrie & Dawn hooking up in the hotel room while Torrie's dad looks on. Surely that has to be a golden up!

[@chadnickelson5928]

everyone who works for this channel hates this kina thing for some reason

[@KingKait077]

YES We get to go back to one of the happiest moments I’ve ever felt in my life

[@derpthegoblin]

Bad Blood 2004, Triple H V Shawn Michaels Hell in a Cell was my favorite match when I was a kid

[@charlesbloor2869]

Wrestlemania 19

[@BurgoBeyond]

im going to keep suggesting and voting for Wrestlemania 17 until i see simon talk about it

[@magiccitymelkite6161]

"absurdly young Kurt Angle" What about that absurdly young Josh Matthews interviewing him?

[@ravenkills]

What about that "baby elephant with lung cancer" noise?

[@knightshousegames]

And yet, Josh Mathews in 2004 STILL looks like more of an adult than the guy they had doing commentary on Raw for a while, I forget his name, the one after Michael Cole who looked like one of the Little Rascals trying to wear his dad's suit and tie.

[@swapnilthorat4648]

This moment was amazing, But can we vote maniaX7 for what incredible show it was, only thing that WWE come close to that PPV was NXT takeover Chicago/New Orleans. Also Bad Blood 1998 should be there I want to see Simon's reaction on Debut of Kane.

[@thebombspayloadisexposed]

That's Paul Bearer, and that's, that's GOTTA be....That's GOTTA BE FAKE DIESEL!

[@mikes6457]

1997

[@swapnilthorat4648]

@@mikes6457 ohhh That's 1997 23 years have passed still it's Iconic.

[@andrewstrom8157]

WCW Halloween Havoc 1997. More Eddie Guerrero goodness, and the height of the nWo.

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Wrestlemania 4. Incredible tournament full of 5⭐ legends

[@Clarkarias]

The Wizard in the Sky was making matches even back then...

[@RockyHistorian]

I would really like to see Armageddon from 2000.

[@colinblay9921]

Hands down the best presenter on whatculture wrestling your energy is hilarious really gets me reminiscing of the good old days of watchig wrestling

[@SCWTheWrestlingChannel]

Great choice of PPV! Option for next week - WrestleMania 25. Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels. Arguably the great wrestling match in Mania history!

[@dilanhakyeri640]

Suggestion: Wrestlemania IX

[@Xenovation3334]

Nothing but downs lmao

[@thebombspayloadisexposed]

In terms of Ups, we have no Ups.

[@BM14murph]

We have to get him to do a show where almost everything will be a down 😂😂

[@SCWTheWrestlingChannel]

I totally misread this first time round. I thought it was 19 😂🤣. Oh boy Mania 9 will be fun for those downs lol

[@splash8429]

Agreed. We really need a terrible show to be reviewed

[@jasonstinebaugh8447]

This PPV, was around the same time Matt Hughs and Rampage Jackson were fighting in the UFC. And while they didn't call it that, both used to knock fools out with power bombs legit. Bradshaw's power bomb in that match reminds me of one of those. Brutal AF!

[@cdh359]

We need a wcw show next week I say Halloween havoc 1998 with matches including raven vs Jericho rick Steiner vs Scott Steiner Kevin Nash vs Scott hall Hogan vs warrior goldberg vs ddp and sting vs Bret hart

[@sepiarain]

My first WCW PPV was Starrcade 1990, I remember Doom vs Arn Anderson & Barry Wyndham in a streetfight, and that was the first time I'd ever seen someone bleed hardway by having an opponent dig something into someone's head and as a kid it shocked the hell out of me. I'm pretty sure Stan Hansen and Lex Luger had a texas lariat match too that was ultra disturbing.

[@knightwagner]

WCW Halloween Havoc 1997!

[@craigconn8664]

Suggestion: Wrestlemania X

[@Facelessman254]

Unforgiven 2000 next please..One of the best ppvs ever! Stone cold returns!

[@billyjames8685]

This PPV was so good it was part of Wikipedia's Home page *On This Day* Elsewhere, This Week on MAIN EVENT, Humberto Currio beat Akira Tozawa & Ricochet beat Mustafa Ali. Now... That's a *SUPER Squash* !!!

[@mnelly6877]

I've said it once and I'll say it again, December to dismember review it Simon

[@columbiakidd1624]

If Simon wants to prove that Goldberg's his dad he should just start using the spear.

[@kusholchaudhury31]

He does

[@drewwilson5026]

Lmao I think Kurt Angle was the only one to make John Cena tap, yo he's the GOAT 🐐

[@thebombspayloadisexposed]

Jericho also made him submit in one of their matches from 2002, if I remember correctly.

[@arkangelxo8647]

There are matches I go back and watch and will never get tired of. No way out Eddie vs Lesnar is one of them. Emotional and still get goosebumps till this day

[@torevictor3892]

Thanks simon eddie Guerrero was and still my favorite wrestler

[@persing66]

Next retro has to be ECW HEATWAVE 1998

[@808frm2]

I loved watching this ppv when I was younger, I had it on dvd.

[@jesusshuttlesworth4124]

Voted for this one. Eddie winning the WWE Championship is my favorite moment in wrestling. Everything he went through and was able to overcome became worth it this night. A legend.

[@LucaSproviero]

For the next Retro Ups and Downs: ECW December to dismember 2006

[@RaghavanN]

Full of Downs.Even Simon can't be positive for it

[@Hereandtheregaming]

Capital carnage 1998 !!! VHS classic

[@RaghavanN]

2004 was such a great year.For the next Retro Ups and Downs Royal Rumble 2004,Wrestlemania 20 or Backlash 2004.

[@brokencheese8688]

Shelton Benjamin deserved so much more than what wwe gave him

[@AutisticLed]

Currently teaming with MVP and Bobby Lashley which I'm personally enjoying. What do you reckon?

[@brokencheese8688]

@@AutisticLed I'm talking about his prime

[@Miah85]

Man this needs something more than golden.. maybe platinum? So many feels. I remember watching this live and when watching now knowing what happened to Eddie, its tears. Not really bittersweet but truly happy and grateful tears. I can sti hear that arena screaming "EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE" he is sorely missed. Thank you for the memories.

[@Izzy-hm4zn]

Eddie winning was amazing! I never cried for a celebrity death but boy I was balling when raw started and I seen it for myself. This was also when winning the title meant something. WWE belts now a days get passed around too much.

[@ramcarr6817]

Armageddon 2000, that hell in a cell match.

[@Trippette]

Starrcade '88 - Ric Flair Vs Lex Luger

[@kazz3309]

Survivor Series 2002... first ever elimination chamber. It blew my mind as a fan. :)

[@vedantmanjrekar1246]

WCW Uncensored 1996 :Suggestion

Man that was an awesome main event

[@sohitsrivastavameeilus]

Suggesstion: Survivor Series 2003.. the buried alive match

[@rottenrose121]

Yes please!!!

[@patrickbeach5915]

Wrestlemania X-Seven...Edge spearing Jeff Hardy off the ladder....golden up!

[@dceasedbrickfan74]

Santa’s Slay was actually good. Funny. Dark.

[@ericcopeland9617]

WrestleMania 17 - I was there at the astrodome. What a show!

[@noiisserpmii]

One of my fav PPVs bcuz i was huge goldberg as a kid & when he beat up lesnar when he jumped the barrier it was so fucking awesome. & Eddie got the win!

[@MrJoeWalker]

This retro Ups & Downs made me both happy and sad.

[@prasannabalaji1886]

This was the fucking amazing ppv... Eddie was my favorite his i lie i cheat i steal skits were awesome... I cried alot when i heard he is no more 😭😭😭 i miss him

[@philipdavies5195]

ECW living dangerously 1999. The card has 3 great matches RvD v Jerry Lynn in one of the greatest matches of all time. Tajiri v Super Crazy who always had great matches against each other and Taz v Sabu. On top of that it had a whole load of craziness that it would be fun to see Simon’s reactions too.

[@maxanik8994]

Full out agree!

[@pagecage3602]

Suggestion for next week Wrestlemania XXX Bryan's iconic title victory

[@richardwilcox2784]

But sadly what that night will be most remembered that for was the Streak ending

[@marxer007]

Simon's deadpan delivery when he explains that it makes sense that Cena might be the unknown attacker because "that man can't be seen" makes me laugh out loud every time I read it.

[@joshuamcguire4498]

Suggestion: TNA Unbreakable 2005

[@sundareswarans2197]

Simon Miller's narration ❤️❤️❤️

[@frostisbestinworld]

Also Unforgiven 2003 as it was my favorite PPV ever! Shane vs Kane in a last man standing match triple H vs Goldberg in the main event in beautiful Hershey PA 😎

[@Tuomas85]

Arguably the greatest techinal wrestler ever alive, Eddie had also one of the best physiques in wrestling too. He was 228 pounds of solid muscle, its very odd that no one ever mention that.

[@BM14murph]

Backlash 2009 - one of the greatest monthly PPV WWE have put on. 6 man tag for the WWE title, Cena vs edge in a last man standing, The Hardy,s in an I quit. Beautiful

[@vernonromeo18]

Actually my favorite WWE PPV

[@bryanthoyte9156]

Still haven't done WrestleMania 17- the best wrestlemania EVER!!!!

[@seanepega1222]

Sable, torrie, and nidia segments were 🔥in 2004. And they probably drew more viewers than n e thing in 2020 including ur beloved aew. Also I remember Shuniqua who looked different from the other divas and was sick as the Basham's dominatrix manager lol

[@brandonsorensen7216]

This Tuesday night in Texas.....just see the promos uped and downed lol

[@shawnmaple948]

I love wrestling for what it was back in the day and I love it now. Why would someone watch the early stuff if all they are going to do is complain about it? It was different times .

[@rmbr278]

Let's see a up's and down's for Royal Rumble 1999

[@absolyoursoul725]

Do WrestleMania 25! I was there live plus it’s one of the best Mania’s they had. The triple h Orton feud was gold. Plus you get a stone cold appearance. MITB, taker vs Shawn part 1 and Cena vs edge vs big show 🔥

[@tonywebb2134]

Backlash 2002... the day I officially became a RKO fan 4 life.. the hardcore match between him and mick Foley was 1 of the best hardcore matches ever and cemented the viper as a future multi time champ

[@mariom6368]

WWE Night of Champions 2007

[@jonlawson866]

Eddie and Brock were two of my favs at that time. I think their promos were amazing

[@modernpoet3997]

I clearly remember this show. It was one of my favorite wrestling moments ever and judging from the crowd reaction and the fact that this was voted for ups and downs, I am not alone.

[@mauricioramirez5948]

Again No Way 2001. That 3 stages of hell match deserves a golden up

1992 Royal Rumble please Simon. Also I'd love to see Armageddon 2000, simply for your thoughts on the six man HIAC chaos.

[@MvsxnEks]

I’m just gonna keep suggesting WMX7 until it’s the only option left

[@yokoandy]

If this is supposed to be retro, let's actually get retro. Royal Rumble 92. One of the top performances ever in the Rumble by Flair, and the best commentary you will ever hear from The Brain.

[@cheekyfragrance]

name drop for Over the Edge at 9:25. Do it, you know you want to.
