Well, that was quite the Survivor Series, 2005 War Games, and we have so much to talk about.

0:04.9

It was John Cena's last ever pay-per-view match technically.

0:08.1

Some people are mad at somebody else's knees, and we have a mystery to uncover, because,

0:12.9

of course, you can't finish a big four PLE without a hooded man coming to the ring.

0:18.4

Your name is Anna Pierce of Nick Aldis.

0:20.3

This is where you should dedicate all your work to. Why do people keep running in in hoods? Also, like my friends, one of the ups and downs, the early rescue review show you need. I am Simon and the Bald Idiot, and that's right. I have watched Survivor series, so you don't have to, or you can watch it and come here what I want to think about it as well. This video is also sponsored by Norton. That was gibberish Norton. Norton. The R of EPM was going to keep you safe online. You can get a massive deal right now by clicking the link down there or the QR code on the screen. And remember, if you're from the US, the UK, Europe, Australia, there's going to be different deals. So make sure you do that too. This weekend is the Black Friday sale, so you can take the most of that too.

0:55.1

And even tomorrow, if you see this video, then you still want to do it, you're going to get a big deal. Click that link. Now let's take the finger of power. Good bit's and up, bare bits are down. So the women's war games kicked off the show, which is becoming a tradition. They often kick off the war game show. and we got Becky Lynch,

1:10.5

Nyjax and Ash Legend,

1:11.6

which is still a bizarre team,

1:12.9

and the Kabuki Warriors,

1:14.1

taking on AJ. They often kick off the war game show, and we got Becky Lynch, Nia Jackson, Lash

1:11.3

legend, which is still a bizarre team, and the Kabuki Warriors taking on AJ Lee, Ria Ripley,

1:15.9

Eoske, Alexibis and Charlotte Flair.

1:18.4

And in the instance I was like, guess the way Charlotte Flair is turning heel, because

1:23.1

the Geishy wore to the ring was in honour or paying tribute to a child that has brain cancer. Now listen, we're going to get into the ups and the downs, obviously. That's what matters in this life. Wrestling is just this bizarre distraction that we do all enjoy. And if you did have a good tongue, great. If you thought it was a pile of pants, great. Let's just remember, man. It is the most important of the least important things. It's great. It's

1:45.1

crap. Who cares? Now, certainly I do have to start with the down, as we do get back into the nerd stuff. There was no shark cages. There was no shark cages in the men's war games. Now, maybe there will be a reason for this and we will learn. But that's the whole point of the match. That's half the fun. It's not just about what's going on in the ring.

2:00.0

It's so you can then cut two of these ridiculous shark cages,

2:02.8

and like last year, whatever the flub it was, you had Roman Raises and CN Pub, I don't like you, and I don't like you either. And I was super excited given some of the people that were in this match. I saw one ridiculous theory, well, they were just too jacked. I'm sorry. WWE earns billions of dollars every single year and that doesn't explain it for the women.

2:33.6

That gets quite a big down as far as I'm concerned. That'd be like the Royal Rumble, but we don't have entrances anymore, which would just be a battle Royal, but it would suck. It's the whole point, but it's a large point of the gimmick. It was genuinely quite sad. Otherwise, I thought they did a really good job.

2:35.8

And listen, they absolutely kicked each other's ass.

2:37.7

They do deserve all the praise in the world for that.

3:24.1

But I also think we've got to that point I was always worried we were going to get to because we have two war games at every single show. And this year especially, some parts are a bit like, well, you two have to get together because we need war games. And we need five people, it didn't really hit the levels it could have done in the past and that is just the law of diminishing returns like now when you picture war games you think oh my god it's going to be the most violent thing ever and it was still crazy there was some brutal stuff in this but we can't really get to where we need to get to because you have to book a woman's one then you have to book a men's one i don't understand given how fun it was on smacker down two why one can't be a traditional survivor series match and the other one could be war games and then you can just switch them i mean it would be a little bit like i don't know my first toy playground because you see it coming a mile away but that's all right it's wrestling we all know the deal so i'm giving that a deal as well, but that's all right, it's wrestling, we all know the deal.
