| 0:00.0 | So we are all terrible people because Randy Orton came out to kick off last episode of SmackDown. |
| 0:04.7 | And even though he's a sociopath, and even though he should definitely be arrested for his crimes, we all go, yes, Mattie Orton. We absolutely love you. Even when he insulted us, we did exactly the same. All right. My friends, and welcome to ups and downs for WWE Smackdown. The only rest of you show you need. My name is Simon Mill. I'm a ball, |
| 0:40.1 | idiot, and I watch professional wrestling, so you don't have to. And again, we just would like to thank NordVPN for being a part of this video, because do they have a deal for you? Because if you do click the QR code on the screen or the link in the description below, you know how this works. Not only are you going to get a bunch of money off, not only are you going to get a bunch of months free. You may also get an Amazon gift card. |
| 0:39.3 | I believe if you're the United States of America, it's going to cost you around about $2.91 a month. And if you're in the UK, it's going to be like £2.22 a month. That's going to give you a VPN. That's going to give you better security online. And that is going to let you access your kind of content in the way that you want to access your kind of content, even if you go abroad. |
| 0:55.0 | So if you aren't American and you come to the UK and you want to watch American stuff you can and vice versa, and that's how it should be because it's your stuff and you deserve the power. You're He-Man. So thank you very much to Nort. Again, make sure you click all of those things to just check it out right now. I mean, just go and have a look and see if it does take your fancy. |
| 1:30.3 | It is the best VPN out there. Otherwise, let's get on with the show. Now, Randy Orland did come through, and NC reminded us the only reason he is doing this is because Cody a couple of weeks ago said Randy, I need the best version of you at the WrestleMania match that we're going to have, which is a very strange way to say that sentence. and Randy, in that moment, realized what that means I have to listen to the voices in my head, |
| 1:44.6 | and I have to be the viper, and I tell you the only voices I don't like, it's all of yours out there saying stupid stuff to me. And once again, as we already discussed, we all went, yes, you're right, we're false. He then did tease he is going to talk about who this mystery person has been on the phone. |
| 1:46.2 | I was like, oh man, thank Flavins for that. |
| 1:47.6 | And out came Matt Cardona. |
| 2:35.5 | I was like, I're false. He then did tease he is going to talk about who this mystery person has been on the phone. I was like, oh man, thank Flammins for that. And out came Matt Cardona. I was like, I like you, Matt Cardona. And I do understand that you want revenge. This is not the time. Okay? That's like somebody getting married and you get the question like, you know, speak now forever, hold your peace. And so he walks and he goes, well, I tell you, then they leave again, like this is not is not the time now cardona did have a plan he just smacked randy on with the microphone and he did beat him up and randy kind of tucks his tail and ran away here which was very interesting and that was the end of the opening segment although i do tell you it basically set the scene for the rest of the show and i quite liked it especially because if because if you were a Matt Cardona fan, I'm sure you had a side of you, this side right here, that was like, well, they're never going to let him get revenge. And admittedly, he does get his ass kick later, but at least he came out and gave Randy what for. So I liked it. Nice and simple, Naz, which is my brand new favorite thing in professional wrestling. Sometimes I think we overcook and overthink the pudding. |
| 2:51.0 | I'm giving it up and we'll get back to the rest later. Nick Alders then told Trick Williams, well done. You do have a spot at WrestleMania because your win-loss record is great. When Sammy Zane walked in and he must have been stalking these guys because he was right there, he was like, well, that's fantastic news. can you please let me know my spot at WrestleMania and Nick Alder just went |
| 2:52.9 | you don't have any spot because you absolutely suck. W.W. Needs to come up with a plan about who does get WrestleMania matches and who doesn't, because you can have like a terrible record and sometimes fight, but then when the story dictates it has to be other way, well, we do that too. Trick thought this was the funniest ever and even shouted out, hey Sammy Caterings that |
| 3:11.2 | way, which did make me chuckle when Sammy Zane turned right around and he punched |
| 3:15.0 | Trick Williams in the face and he promised that he was going to make good on this. |
| 3:18.3 | So once again, you can see where this is headed and we would have confirmation before the |
| 3:22.0 | night was done, but I like this Sammy Zane character, and that's for Trick Williams. Man, this dude is so damn good, he is gonna fly mighty high. Or, and then also went to talk to Nick Aweller and he was super duper-woper mad that Matt Cardona had done this. So he demanded a match. And even though we all know that Mac Cardona has a gami arm, given that what Randy Orne did him last week, Nick went, you know what, you can have a professional wrestling match later, because sometimes he really can be a bad GM. And look, okay, yes, I get it. Randy essentially blackmailed him here and said, well, if you don't do it, I'll crave him all carnage. Come on. Well, it was time for Charlotte Fleur, Alexa Bliss taking on the Bella Twinsins. And listen, on one hand, this hand right here, how cool is that? |
| 4:00.6 | Isn't it awesome in 2006? |
| 4:02.3 | We can get these kind of the matches. |
| 4:04.0 | But on the other one, I just really do not understand what WWE is doing with the women's tag team championships. |
| 4:09.6 | Well, no, that's not true. |
| 4:10.6 | WWE has clearly decided at WrestleMania. |
| 4:12.8 | We want to do a multi-person match, which is totally fine, but the way we're getting there is a bit like pulling teeth. Like last week, it was a disqualification. Once again this week, Lash Legend and Nijax came down to watch the thing. So why did no one go, listen, tag champions, you can't do that? Because you guys are always getting into it. Let's right, Lash, legend, just punched Alexer Bliss right in the face. And sure, the referee didn't see it when I can't know, it was Nicky or Bree. Now, I think it was Brie, hit the most devastating move. In all the sports, it's never surprise roll-up, and they beat them. I was like, Nair and Lash, have you not watched this show before? Or do you not understand that if you keep interfering in other matches that could be number one contender matches, eventually the GM turns around and goes, ha ha, I'll now show you. You have to take on everyone. And sure Charlotte Flair had kind of taunted Nash and Lai before this, but come on now. And yes, Bailey and Lairn out here, because they are going to be taking on Lash Legend and of Niagara Jacks on Monday night. And if I was going to hazard a guess that two will end in shenanigans. And can you believe it here are your four teams. Once they had cleared the ring as well, Charlotte was still pissed at the Bellas, as you would do because they did cheat to win. I just don't get it. It's just so crazy. And later on, Charlotte Fleur and Alexa Bliss and the Bellas all fell out again because Charlotte was like, why are you acting like this? And the Bellas are like, we're going to do whatever it takes to become the tag team champion. They heal now? I mean, Nikki was a heel. Then Bree came back and they came out and cut a baby face promo, and then they went away for five weeks. Then they came back. They just got a title shot. And listen, I like the women's tag team championships. You can hear me talking about this every single week. This one is not for me. It's a little bit two plus two equals potato. I'm giving it a down. I did enjoy the fact that Bella's got mad that Charlotte Flair nicked their flannel. Damian Priest and Our Truth were then hanging out, although mostly Our Truth was trying to rebuild the clubhouse because he thinks the Judgment Day are back together and Truth was like, no, we're not, what are you talking about? When Jenny Roll walked in and Our Truth thought he was Donald Mysterio, and then Rear Ripley came to congratulate Damian Priest and Our Truth. Of course, by that point, our Truth had no hope. Now, Jenny roll, as is his new gimmick, made sure to G up Rear Riple, like a man. You could to whip Jay Cargill's ass so bad when Rhea was going to congratulate Truth, but he had run away, but she went, Damien Priest, I'm so happy for you. I like Artruth and Damien Priest together, they make me happy. Make me happy. Let me go on to this rear Ripley-J Cargill segment and I've seen a lot of discourse about this |
