Ups & Downs From WWE RAW (Jan 25)

[@WhatCultureWrestling]

You're gonna want to stick around until the end of this one to see Simon, well, I won't spoil it! Thanks for watching everyone.

[@kingjleo1204]

They went from roll up pins to distraction pins it will be at 100 by summer

[@whitewolf8051]

Is he finally declaring himself for the Royal Rumble?

Hi WhatCulture

[@joshdavey1065]

Who thinks Simon will be in the Royal rumble lol by the way who's ur pick for mens and womens royal rumble

[@crowpit5025]

Simon should introduce a counter for when a match has a clean finish without any shenanigans just to see how low this number is gonna be

[@AudioGAWD]

Low. It will he low

[@bsquinney]

isn't that the R-Truth...

[@nathanbrehm1085]

Sheamus and morrison had the match of the night. Actually wrestling!!! More of that please

[@JK-rg6qr]

Morrison needs to start doing his own thing ASAP. This man should be at least going for the intercontinental or us title, not backing the miz up

[@Oneofthechose]

@@JK-rg6qr Morrison looks BAD he’s too talented to be a comedy act he isn’t considered any thing more than mid card to Vince. He deserves a Title shot only reason he’s in WWE: he’s never won the WWE titles but every other there is

[@mattj4112]

Poor Edge. He’s declared himself for the Rumble, but he doesn’t even know he’s gotta wrestle AJ Styles first.

[@takerhulk3163]

That be a good way to start the ppv lol

[@anuragkat66]

😂😂😂😂

[@AaravNrng]

😂😂😂

[@YannisG784]

Security: sorry Edge you’re not on the list... Edge: what do you mean I’m not on the list. Security: if you beat AJ in the parking lot before 8PM EST then you can enter

[@s.f.x.r]

...the difference is, never ask Scrap Daddy if you can be in the Rumble; don’t be a dummy, just find a cameraman, and announce you’re entering yourself in the Rumble.

[@CrimePaint]

Simon: wwe never does inter-gender violence. Nia Jax: *gets super kicked, 619'd and RKO'd in 2019 Men's Rumble*

[@JL-sm6cg]

Hey, she wanted in. Besides, Nia Jax could take on almost any guy evenly.

[@sethfreakinrollins9889]

No one delivers a sneak attack on women better than Randy "No F's given" Orton.

Well I mean Simon has pretty much his whole family working there...his dad, his brother, even his grandfather Duane gill recently made an appearance.

[@CanesFan88]

Any one else miss The Most Devastating Move In All of Sports Entertainment counter? 😔

[@SuperSailorOutlawGeorgeIshaq]

I do

[@sethfreakinrollins9889]

Edge vs Reigns? Edge vs Goldberg (if McIntyre loses)? Something tells me Edge could be a potential favorite to win the Royal Rumble match this year.

[@AaravNrng]

There is no way McIntyre loses tbh especially because now it's his 2nd run.And the faces of the company are the Champs rn. imo there can be a edge vs ortan match if ortan wins, (Angaist fiend) then edge can win and he will have all the momentum.Edit:(this can also happen due to fiend and then fiend can. Win)

[@forsakenfiasco2908]

Curveball... Edge vs Kevin Owens

[@wingzero-0014]

Randy Orton is all for equality serving up RKO's to women since 2003

[@AudioGAWD]

You know I totally forgot about that

[@musasilas5848]

Lol

[@markb35]

Dude's character made a name for himself by beating up women and old people, I'm honestly surprised they never pulled an angle where he RKO's a make-a-wish kid lmao

[@AudioGAWD]

@@markb35 You thought this was the attitude era? 😂 Though it was once implied that Shawn Micheals, hit a small girl with a Super Kick

[@pacman52280]

Actually, it was The Miz who got speared and John Morrison who got claymore kicked.

[@superjam8553]

WWE really know how to kill a surprise with all these “declarations” into the Rumble 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ThomasMHead]

Simon at the top of his game! I was sports entertained by all his remarks and reactions! UP!

[@thomasmartin5503]

I mean, they're selling Randy as having 1st degree burns. It is very realistic that he'd only have protective dressing on for a week, because that's basically a sunburn. My issue is that they're trying to make them look second degree.

[@3LameGuys]

Simon: I don't understand the whole Fiend/Bliss/Evil magic powers Simon seeing a man dressed as a dinosaur: I don't need an explanation, Jurassic Up! Simon sees a man go into a lake and change characters: Perfect sense, nothing else is needed! Lol the selective moments of embracing wrestling mumbo jumbo or rejecting it because it is illogical can come off as very "Stuff Just Happens" with you, Mr. Miller!

[@TJDylan]

“Who invented socks” is underrated line of the year

[@jameskennedy7307]

It really isn't lol

[@Diamondelle84]

11:50 See Trips and Trish Stratus 😑

[@azzazzinx5519]

I genuinely hope that the Evans/Flair angle goes on forever, because I just enjoy watching Simon talk so casually about sex.

[@deli_g_]

Valid point. Never thought of it like that.

[@autumnpendleton1396]

I just hope it doesn't turn similarly to the dawn marie situation but like the pg version of that

[@Deezysamaa]

I watched RAW this week specifically to see Edge.....Instead of marking out to his theme music all I got was a one way zoom call instead. PAIN.

[@xxxellbrownoxxx]

They saving it for Sunday, I kinda hope they would have kept it quiet again and then he just comes out at during the rumble

[@insanity2210]

Simon as usual, you are funny as hell. You need your own show on TV man.

[@MarillMau5]

I just want him to wrestle with aew

[@gandalfthegrey7135]

Great idea, thats how we will get Simon, but interrupted by minutelong ads on a regular basis. Nice

[@deli_g_]

Absolutely no disrespect to the other contributors of the channel, because I'm sure they work their asses off to bring quality programming to pro-wrestling fans across the globe. That being said, Simon was the one who got me to click the subscribe button, and he's the only one I watch, soooooooo, yeah...

[@lilyrodgers5213]

illegitimate like I said it isn't for everyone. I enjoy this story you don't. So what? Every person has something bad to say about everything in wrestling because we all have different opinions.

[@lilyrodgers5213]

@Biden is illegitimate I just disagree. I think the lacey Charlotte thing is pretty bad and possibly the worst storyline at the moment. But I'm sure those two can pull it off. Like those two can put on an excellent match I bet, but I don't like the story around it.

[@somanynames781]

You should have the same boards for disqualification and distractions for AEW so it’s fair

I kinda thought the burn makeup looked good. Also Randy did say it was only 1st degree burns which is basically a really bad sunburn, so yeah you can recover from that in like a week.

[@Michaelthacrow]

i laughed so damn hard when they edited the "FATALITY" sound in omfg

[@kurtpaulsen6579]

Real shame they used the distraction finish in the Riddle gauntlet almost immediately after they used a distraction to pointlessly protect KnickKnackPaddyWhack from Woods.

[@123121231000]

same. i got bored somewhere around april last year and remembered that as a 10 year old i watched wwe and i loved watching royal rumble (still my fav ppv) and i checked this year's one on free trial wwe network. then got interested and started bingewatching both raw and smackdown and all the ppvs around may/june when i was up to date with all of it i started watching some vintage materials of wwe on youtube and this bald dude showed up talking about the ppv i just finished watching (i'm from europe so watching it live at 3am is kinda tiring tbh when it's always at sunday and i wake up for work next day) now instead of watching raw talk or talking smack after show i'm watching simon. he's my talking smack :D

[@jordteps1775]

haha dude same! Used to love WWE as a kid and stopped watching part time in 2013. With lockdown 1 there wasn't much else to watch and for some reason my google FBI agent started recommending Simon's videos.

Vote up if you believe Simon should introduce the rare squeaky clean finish that involves mid-high tier cards that actually end clean. Almost seems more logical than counting every non clean finish at this point.

Actually, Simon, I received 2nd and 3rd degree burns a few months ago because my car exploded while I was driving (long story, that's the short version).
