So I don't know why the start of this week's episode of WW Raw made me laugh so much.

0:03.6

It's probably because I am an idiot.

0:05.2

But Adam Pearce is all like, ooh, Roman reigns. Given what Jacob Fetoo did to you at the end of Backelash, we should get rid of him. Rome was like, no, I brought him into this company. And even though you're quite clearly in charge, I should be the one to get rid of him. But only if he doesn't acknowledge me. He then demanded somebody around him with his world title,

0:22.2

and Adam Pierce is all like, ah, yes, my head of the table. When the scuba ran in, he gave Roman the title, and Roman then left through a door. I looked off into the distance, and thought to myself, that was a weird segment. Also, my friends, hello, and welcome to ups and downs, the only rest of you show you need with I, Simon Miller the Bald Idiot.

0:38.0

And yes, we are going to go through Monday Night Raw.

0:40.1

If something is good, we give it up. If something is bad, we give it it and down, which is kind of, kind of hard at the moment. Because Raw was like a perfectly fine show, but I mean fine in the literal sense. It's not going to get you excited in your pants. and by the end of it you were a bit like, well, maybe I could have just watched that in clip form,

0:54.3

or you could just watch me instead.

0:56.3

Need more for you, let's up those down. Vision we're out then first with Paul Heyman and let's be completely honest outside of Bronbreaker they're not very intimidating anymore but actually maybe that does suit them better and Paul Hamel was all like at backlash Seth Rollins the Brombreaker. That was always going to happen.

1:11.7

You can't be any of us, and you know what, when it comes to the record, we are expunging you, and in terms of you being in the vision, we are never going to talk about it again. That's like, well, fat charge with that one, Paul Heyman. Do you know about us wrestling nerds? We will talk about it. In fact, we'll never shut up. Austin Thiery then said the only reason the street profits wants to challenge them for the tag titles is because Bianca Belair isn't around and therefore Montes Ford isn't making any money. Now listen, I like Austin Theory. I think he's miscast but I do enjoy him, but when it comes to insults, this guy is shooting blanks this year. That's not offensive at all. Street promise then arrived and Montes Ford kind of insinuated that Bianca Ballet wasn't injured.

1:48.1

She would whip their ass.

1:49.2

Yes, she probably would do.

1:50.7

When Logan Paul fired back with, oh, men, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins,

1:54.2

the only thing you're good for right now is organizing a baby shower

1:57.5

because once again, Bianca Blair is pregnant.

1:59.9

I was like, guys, you need to go back to insult school. How is that insulting? It's not insulting. Oh man, you did something nice for your wife and the person you love. Oh man, you got me. It really didn't feel like being on drugs, especially because just as Logan Paul was about to say his name, Joe Hendry appeared from nowhere, he telepoint him for the Star Trek Enterprise and he started singing his Let's Fire Logan Paul song, whatever it is. I was like, man, once again, this is a really weird segment. It was because, of course, we were going to do a six-man tag, and Joe Hendry got the hot tag early on. I do have to say, seeing Joe on Raw, delights me down at my tootsy toast because of the journey he's had, but eventually he did get cut off. And yes, Austin Thiel was distracted on the outside. I never actually mind it when somebody else is in the match. And after a while, of course, he tagged in the street profits. They ran wild and Montes Ford did one of his crazy ways he dives. Now, it looked like Montes Ford was going to get the win here with the splash of the frogs when Logan Paul pushed him off the top rope. when Joe Hendry ran at Logan Paul, and he got thrown into Sim of the Steel Steps and keep that in your brain for later.

2:54.0

When we go back to that rule I just talked about, because Seth Rollins turned up, he attacked Brombreaker, and the referee most definitely saw this, he went, I don't have to worry about that. He literally saw them fighting each other, so you do have to give that down. it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but otherwise, what is the point of having a run-in? If sometimes it's a DQ, sometimes not a DQ, I mean, you need consistency. Poor Austin theory, though, completely forgot he was in a wrestling match because he was so damn mad at Seth, and Angela Dawkins snuck in and hit the most devastating move. in all of sports entertainment Surprise Roll-up, and he got the one, two, three. So they can get a tag team title match at the Sanite's main event, because they just pinned the chaps. The more interesting part is what happened afterwards, because Seth Rollins eventually went to help up Angelo Dawkins, when Bronpricer went to spear them. And Seth basically ducked and dodged out the way, leaving Angelo Dawkins to take the

3:42.0

bullet. Obviously, Montes Ford was very mad about this. I mean, you would do. What the flub was Seth Rollins thinking? Now, there was a skit later on as well when Seth found the street profits and said, oh man, we need to work together. Montez was like, I don't trust you. How can anybody trust you? your untrusted fiend. So I don't know what's going to go on here. And again, they do have

3:58.6

that tagtile match at S SNME, which always sounds like a disease. But in terms of the match, the rest of it, I am going to give it up. And I would probably give the titles to the street profits, but we'll talk about that later. But something is going to happen with Seth here. Listen, I guess WW's got me, because I don't know what it is. Anna Pierce then found the original El Grande Americano,

4:16.7

because of course he's now got El Grande American. was set here. Listen, I guess WW's got me, because I don't know what it is. Anna Pierce then found

4:15.0

the original El Grande Americano, because of course he's now got El Grande Americano three and four,

4:19.9

no, four and five. I think that's right. And Anna Pierce kind of acts like he didn't know this was

4:24.3

the creeds, even though quite obviously it was the creeds and even Stevie Wonder would have been
