0:00.0 | So John Sina is officially a baby face. |
0:01.9 | A shout out to all those people that yelled at me when he did just do that last week on SmackDown. And I said it probably wasn't a trick. It's always nice to be told that I'm a buffoon, even though it is true, but you don't need to yell it right into my face. But it does all lead to this week's episode of Smackdown where there is no going back. So welcome to my friends, two ups and downs. the only wrestling review show you need with me, Simon Miller, |
0:03.3 | The Bald Idiot, where we are going to give the good bits and up, and the bad bits are down for the smacker down that just came out the ass of Somerslawn. I really regret saying that. Mr. Thiele did kick off things as well, and my gosh, he got such a big evasion from this Montreal crowd, but he was such a baby face, |
0:38.5 | he was such a goody two shoes. It was almost amazing to me that when he was a heel, he didn't come |
0:42.9 | out with like a twirling moustache and some kind of psychic that he insulted all the time, |
0:47.2 | I'll get you next time, Daddy. John also mentioned the fact that we were in Montreal, and we all |
0:51.8 | know what happened here a few decades ago, and that's why WW was always afraid to come here because they don't know what the fans are going to do and maybe they're going to take over the show. But John Cena understands that the fans are the show, so you may as well just bring it on. Ha, it's like, you're such a kiss-ass. He also loves all of this because of course it will send a message to the people at home. Oh my gosh, we should go to one of these WWE live events live for the low, low price of $600. Shouldn't have said that one. He used all of this as well because he was like, puff man, I bet the people in the back are now absolutely going out of their mind because they don't know what's going to happen when he just went super duper baby face and he thanked the fans and he basically talked about the last six months saying, I was just afraid to step away because I don't know if you're going to forget me and also I want to give you my best, but what if it's not good enough? I'm like, John, come here, let me give you a hug. He also talked about the fact that these dates are being knocked off the calendar, which also makes feel funny in his tutsy toes and again i have to stress the sheer 180 we have done with |
1:49.6 | this is totally woe really nuts and if john sinner wasn't getting this kind of love i think you |
1:54.2 | could criticize it more when you watch it in the moment damn man it's something special when finally |
1:59.6 | finally he started talking about Brock Lesnar. |
2:01.6 | Now, of course, he's afraid of him too, but there is no universe where John Sin is going to back down from that guy, so he's ready to fight. That was it. Yep, we did hear from Brock Lesnar. Nobody mentioned why he did came back. We still have no references as to why he did go away for two years. two years, then all of a sudden magically, pabob, coming out at the end of SummerSlam. |
2:00.6 | So it's basically done for a moment, because WWE is obsessed with moments. That's just lame man. Imagine any other big time superstar came back on a WWE show, a TNAE show, an AEW show. You have to have some kind of follow-up, and not just the person he did whoop going, I will take you on at some point, especially because then John talked about the rest of the locker room and who came out to confront him, it was Logan Paul. Now, this was very good for me, because I actually predicted that Logan Paul would be his first opponent, because if you want a babyface, John Cena, ain't nobody cheering Logan Paul over him. That made me a proud pander. But as for the rest of it, down, I really think we could have done better than this. Of course, Logan Paul doesn't respect John Sina anymore because he doesn't like this guy when John was like, I think you've just made the biggest mistake of your life. I was like, John, I think that happened in Japan. It's another one I'm going to regret. Somebody stop me. Logan then went back to that line that John Sina had said a few months ago that nobody understands WWE better than Logan Paul and he's better at being a WW superstar than John Sina. Now listen, Sina did call him a dumb ass, which is everybody's new favourite word in wrestling in 2025. |
3:21.3 | But John said, yeah, you know what, I did agree with that. And maybe it's true. We have to take that and kick it out the window. If John Cena is going to be your baby face, he can't lie to us. Nobody is more WWE than John Cena. Logan then asked for a match and John Cena was happy to oblige to this, because that's all you have to do these days, is walk up to someone and say, |
3:22.5 | ha ha, let's fight. |
3:24.0 | When, of course, because we were in Montreal, |
3:45.0 | Logan pretended that we'll do it in a French-speaking country, and he was referring to Clash in |
3:49.6 | Paris when Drew McIntyre, Logan, Paul's best friend got in the ring, and he totally murked |
3:54.3 | John Cena. Why did we do this? So Cody could run out and now we have a superhero duper-woper tag team? Sina then basically became the general manager for the night, although we're going to talk about this and he said, well fine. If we have to wait for that PLE, why don't we do the tag team match right here tonight in our main event? Which means Nick Aldis must have been in the back doing a backflip. He had a booked a finishing match for this show, so thank goodness for Johnny. So yeah, that Brock Les and stuff did kind of take this down a little bit, just because that is not good storytelling. But everything else was pretty damn good because you just had so much star power in the ring. And if you're a Drew McIntyre fan, I bet you watch this, you're like, oh boy, I'm excited and we'll get to that later. If nothing else, though, John Cena was brilliant here and has kind of told me, even though I personally did enjoy the last six months, you can check out other videos to hear me talk about it. Maybe it was a good thing we didn't turn him 10 years ago as well. Him being the corny baby face, well, he's just so damn good at it. Like, I'm a massive goofball and I like to embrace the goofy, where Ascena likes to embrace the corny and because he does it with 100%, well, he is just the man. I basically love him. It's getting a lap. For some reason, the most seen machine guns then reveal to us that they're going to be taking Sola Saccoa's MFTs after this, because Chris Saban and Alex Shelley think this is the path back to the tag team titles. I was like, alright, well I guess as long as you don't lose, and then they lost. The good thing about this is that Sola Sokoa had picked Tala I'm So Tultonga and J.C.o to be the tag team, and especially Jeff Cobb, he needed |
5:23.0 | something here, and you ain't going to get a bad match out of the machine guns, so I thought |
5:27.3 | this was pretty decent. Of course, the guns did some dives as well, so Bam put a two on the dive |
5:31.4 | counter, yes, because Tanglewa was on the outside with Solo, he made sure he did some |
5:36.7 | distraction, interference and confusion, so put a one on the dickboard. And I hope you enjoy seeing the dick board, which is the worst end as I ever say, because you were about to see it a lot. It tied into the finish as well, because of course the MFTs were all over the place, meaning when Alex Shelley went for the skull and bones, Talatong was like, man, I'm so tall. I am going to boot you right in the face. |
