I won't lie. Sting coming down from the rafters made me sob. It all hit me that it's his last dynamite and he did that classic entrance all at once. Loved it.

The thing is we’ve seen it a million times that the heels try to cut them off on the ramp but they enter from somewhere else And because of nostalgia I was kind of joking when i said “ He’s in the rafter” Was still cool though
I was at Dynamite last night and it was amazing. Seeing Sting come down from the roof had me almost in tears, and I found out that it was the 2nd time that Sting did it from our arena here in Huntsville, AL. Overall, the whole Go Home edition of Dynamite gets the Golden Up!

I was there too. People started pointing up and I was like, "PFT.. no way...". And then more people started pointing and I was like "NO WAY" and then I saw the bottoms of his boots and was like "NO FREAKING WAY!!" Did you go look up the video of his doing it before with DDP? Pretty epic.

Same here bro
It was an open challenge for the international title. That is why Nick Wayne was in the match with Orange Cassidy.
The bats being hung up is a callback to Sting’s promo on the final episode of Nitro. Pretty cool.

The BCC were very cruel to Barry the Barricade. Jon Moxley dropped DAX on his crotch onto him and Bryan slammed Eddie into him.

Congrats on your new gig Simon
I loved when Sting came down from high up above
The Hater of the Year race is already making me chuckle every time.
got the same reaction, tears in my eyes. i'm really happy that he ended on his terms.
Sting coming down from the rafters had me tearing up. What a legend!
I love that wrestling can make people cry. It’s so wonderful. I had a feeling he would repel from the rafters after seeing the room full of bats.
Loves me some Stinger. But the repel down the rope got me in the feels. Win or lose, Sting will always be the ICON.
Simon, Orange's match was an open challenge, That is how Nick Wayne became the challenger. It was announced during the entrances. And Yes Sting coming out of the sky/rafters was awesome! There was one other time I thought they were going to do that and now I dont recall if they did? I will miss Sting! I have watched and followed his whole career. He is Legit My All time Favorite. I hope he still does signings I still want to meet him one day!
Osprey is here
Huntsville crowd seemed to enjoy the entire show. That is what matters the most. Good show.
@Simon you are BY FAR the best thing on this channel for many of us. As the world gets worse and worse and more hateful your positivity is a must. Sting coming down from the raptors had me tear up as I know he will be gone soon. Hope they make Swerve a champion in 2024 sometime.
I was announced at the start of the match that it was an Open Challenge match.
It was awesome to see the old school entrance from Sting however it gave me Owen Hart flashbacks hope they only do stuff like that once in while.

Long live the greatest! The Icon Sting! Thank you for the memories nad thank you for a fun childhood
WCW was a big part of my childhood. Sting coming down from the rafters in AEW made me tear up a little bit. Now if he went all the way back to his Surfer Sting blonde hair gimmick I may have passed out. 😢
Didn’t orange do an open challenge?

Simon u made my day today for that u get the golden up
International title match was open challenge, that's why Nick Wayne fought despite rankings. All for that. Until you mentioned it I'd actually forgot the rankings were back, they should show them at the start of the show or something.
The commentators said the International title match was a open challenge. That's why he was fighting Orange.
9:36 "The classic AEW Intercontinantel Title" I LOVE THIS Guy!!!
Between Simon Miller and Ryan George, I’ve seen at least 1-2 nods to each in just random comment sections that had nothing to do with wrestling or comedy sketches/Pitch Meetings… those 2 individuals alone make putting up with YT worth it It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy in my tum-tum (yeah-yeah-yeah!)
There was an open challenge for the AEW international championship which explains why nick wayne was facing orange Cassidy
I called sting’s drop from the rafters. Absolutely popped when it actually happened. Golden up! 1997 all over again.
Taz spent the entire PiP sections on FITE in the Trios match ranting about his Diet Soda being spilled during a table bump! Just like CM Punk...
the rankings are not tied to open challenges, this is such a strangely negative rating for a great episode
I will never apologize for thinking that Orange Cassidy is spectacular. He’s a master of working a match between situationally silly to absolutely incredible. I’m not sure there are many moves that I *haven’t* seen him pull off. He’s amazing and one of the most likable characters I’ve ever seen I want so bad for this to culminate into a proper Cassidy v Christian match
Of course it's time to say goodbye to Sting. But on another subject what Hangman did was just a good old fashioned okey doke move. Many wrestlers have pulled that before. Ric Flair was there last night. That man was a master of that kind of tactic. I actually like how he swerved, Swerve.
Renée's understated "we're live, pal" was wonderful. If you know, you know. But it's the exact reason why she's the best in the biz. Shame on you, Simon, for not giving that an up!
Dang it! I was on the third row and totally forgot my "give me an up" sign... 😢
heres why simon is the best youtuber, cause I heard of will ospreay, but i never really bothered to look him up, simon summed him up to where im going to extensively look into him now cause it was simple and to the point, he should also be a mouthpiece manager for someone later in his goated career

Well when it comes to aew we don’t live in reality. But when it comes to WWE everything has to be realistic or it’s a problem for whatculture
The nick Wayne orange Cassidy Match was an open challenge. It had nothing to do with the rankings
Happy Leap Day, Simon!
You're absolutely right about Bang Bang Scissorgang members being directionless which is a shame.
The Bucks should've had baseball bats when they entered Punk's locker room.
It’s so cool seeing Ups and Downs for shows you attend.
Good review

Hitting Sting with a baseball bat is a bad idea. The baseball bat was Sting's weapon of choice most of his wrestling career. That's like hitting Triple H with a sledgehammer.
Skye Blue beating Kris Statlander in an sweet meat match gets an UP.

On commentary they said Danielson will shake Kingston’s hand despite the result Didn’t kingston say only if he beats danielson, they have to shake hands
give Simon an up!
I bought a ticket, I’ll be seeing you in Queens.
I am REALLY REALLY hoping Tony Kahn throws money at WWE for permission to use the classic Crow Theme for Sting. That song is iconic and you can’t send Sting riding out into the sunset with anything else.
Will doesn't need Don to go to the top and have success. In fact, his rise to the top has nothing to do with Don Callis and their relationship was predicated in defeating Kenny Omega at the time. Times changed. So it'll be a matter of time before Ospreay bails and Don know this. Takeshita, on the other hand, is Callis protege, creation and under his full control. And since he's supposed to be Kenny Omega's replacement in Don's eyes, defeating Ospreay will put Takeshita one step closer to the top, as the best wrestler ever and cement Callis as the true architect of wrestling. In the end, it's all about Don Callis and his ego. It's about him thinking he's the smartest guy in the room and the hidden hand that manipulates everything. We saw it with Omega, Sammy Guevara, and now we're seeing it with Will Ospreay. He wants and needs Takeshita to beat Ospreay in order to validate everything he has worked and say all these years. It's not really that strange or weird or confusing.... But to each their own I guess. C'est la vie.
I approve of the hater of the year board 😂
I think they go around the rankings by making it an open challenge for the title
Young Bucks = 🔥🔥🔥Greatest Tag Team of All Time!!!!! AMAZEBALLS!!!

Stunned by how clean Bryan's pass-out win over Eddie was four days before Revolution; Eddie had got his long-awaited wins over Bryan in the C2; neither result will mean as much now...
Simon if you are near philly ill come
Are u coming back o North or South Carolina?
Where do i by that t-shirt !!!!!!??????
OC's match was an open challenge so rankings shouldn't have mattered correct?
Was Atlantis Jr. not tapping part of the CMLL/AEW deal? If that's the wavelength they're on, it's going to start costing both companies...
Sting and Darby are the champs right if that's the case then stings losing his final match he is not retiring with the tag belts
What if Bryan Danielson does win the Triple Crown this weekend?? He definitely deserves some aew gold before he retires from being a full time wrestler. And then instead of Wil Osprey going after Swerve and the world title, they have Osprey go after Bryan Danielson and the triple crown. Danielson vs Osprey is an absolute dream match😮😮😮🤔
I can suspend my disbelief for a lot of things, but you can't deny the fact that Ric Flair threw some of the weakest jabs of his entire career

Always Great!!!

Why is Huck Finn doing Ups & Downs?
Rankings do not count for the International Title. Why would they?
Whiney Heel Hangman Page is going to be a lot of fun if they keep this character going. I hope they do, a solid heel run for Hangman makes sense.

Samoa is going to retain his title. Due to swerve and hangman screwing each other over with Joe capitalizing on this.

The fans weren't chanting for Sting AT ALL (as no doubt intended) when The Bucks beat down Darby; they only started a small chant for him when they attacked Ric Flair, after The Bucks eviscerated their new "dangerous heels" gimmick by selling *that* offense from Ric; no one wondered where the hell Sting was during the beatings?
Will Offspray vs the whole AEW roster. Everyone else as well.
Sooo we going to gloss over that intercontinental championship slip up 😂😂
"This guy's a phoney! Hey look everyone, he's a great big phoney!"
I thought the rankings were back but it still seems like most matches are totally random?
sting will be missed after revolution.
Fletcher got hurt like everyone else there.
