 What's good Josh, we're Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out WWE pay-per-views a Resurgence by none other than super kick studios. I was actually thinking about this the other day and some people have mentioned this Just in their videos like a solo monster if you guys have subscribed to here my am subscribe and he mentioned this as well The main shows like Monday night Raw and Smackdown even though Smackdown is you know in my opinion It's a it's a better show because of the two-hour time limit and you know They kind of they have no other choice, but to get straight to the point So it's much more easier to digest, but the weekly shows A lot of times they're not as good They're not actually sometimes they can be kind of boring or downright bad at times But for whatever reason Recently we've seen for about maybe going on a year now a little bit maybe more That the main shows like the PLDs or the pay-per-views whatever you want to call them They've been actually quite entertaining like the weekly shows have been sometimes good most of times mid and kind of Uneventful, but when we get to the main pay-per-views Whatever reason They've been pretty good Sometimes great. It's crazy to say that. I remember a time where the weekly shows weren't that good And the pay-per-views weren't that good most of the time Or there would maybe be one match that you cared about For whatever reason, I don't know what is you know, obviously, you know Triple H does have some creative control when it comes to how these shows are obstruction and laid out but bruh I've been thinking about this and it's been on my mind is cool that he actually made this video Talking about it, but the pay-per-views last PLDs have actually been consistently good. I don't think it's it takes I have to really think about the last PLD that was just like boring Uninventful, you know, I Know didn't really care about anything that happened on the show had to be maybe before summer slim Last year. I'm thinking Maybe a couple of the pay-per-views before summer slim last year where I was just like I this this was kind of kind of uneventful, but Other than that, this was the recent strings of P Pay-per-views and PLDs have been fantastic. So we're gonna check out how he feels about him, you know What's his thoughts and opinions on him? Appreciate all of his support. Let's get right into this one, man Whether it's Brock Lesnar lifting the ring with a tractor a surprise return or another big moment in the saga of the Bloodline, it seems as though after every WWE pay-per-view in recent times There's always a big talking point those same talking points a while beforehand were different and had a much more negative fan Response attached to them for the past year. It seems as though WWE has been on a consistent run of good to great pay-per-views Yeah, our stadium shows more international pay-per-views crazy crowds match of the year contenders and Angles that have you hooked and having watched as many pay-per-views as I have I don't remember a Consistently good run like this ever not the route to regression era not the 2010s not in the early 2020s But for about a year now There's been no pay-per-view which just comes and goes and gives you absolutely nothing of substance And it all began with the Triple H takeover It was money in the bank 2022 and the show to say the least was not the greatest It was carried by a strong tag team match between the Street Profits and the Usos and a Liv Morgan Cashin and aside from that things were pretty rough But then came Triple H's first show at the helm SummerSlam 2022 live from Nashville Tennessee said that the thing with SummerSlam is for the longest time They told us that this was the second biggest show of the year But they never actually did anything to make it feel like that it didn't have its own identity It wasn't the spectacle that a number two show should be and at points it was a joke But as of 2021 they've started to treat the show much more differently There's a theme to each show the show comes to us from bigger venues Which gives it a more grand feeling simple things like redesigning the logo on a yearly basis and giving it an accompanying presentation Has given it a lot more personality This one was built around a match that not many people wanted to see and that was these two Yeah Before we got there Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair perfectly topped off their trilogy with another great match the same event at Which Becky returned the year previous it's the same show where Bianca got her stamp of approval and won this rivalry And after this is where the surprises began because out came Bailey after a year away and she didn't come alone Triple H had re-signed Dakota Kai and brought up EO Sky from NXT so in the beginning alone You had a huge moment made Logan Paul had a great performance as he usually does in the WWE and the rest of the show Wasn't anything too crazy and then came the main event and somehow some way Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns Were able to put on a masterclass of a last man standing match Yeah, right off the hop. This was everything you'd want in a battle between two powerhouses It was hard-hitting. It was a brawl. The crowd was into it two big boys Just going out there punch for punch and then Brock Lesnar this match was definitely Better than their WrestleMania match this match was This was fun This was a really good last man standing match It will be a last man standing match that people will always remember. That's crazy to say Just casually does something that I never thought I would see in the WWE He raises the ring Sending Roman Reigns off the map like this was fall guys But it was Roman who got the win the Triple H PLE era had officially began The next show was even crazier just a few weeks later WWE made their return to the UK for the first time in 20 years when we got Clash at the castle And this show was not messing around You already knew that the UK crowd was gonna bring in another element to the show and they did exactly that now the change was obvious Quality rather than quantity and if you want quality look no further than these two Gunther and Seamus went out there and they tore a hole through each other Till the other just couldn't go anymore and Gunther won this match in a match of the year contender That won't be the last time that I say that in this video This was also the show where Dominic turned heel and as they say the rest is history It came at such a big show and the fact that he turned on his own dad only made things bigger for him Rawls and Riddle had a fun match And then we came to the main event which had a big-time feel unlike any other Drew McIntyre versus Roman Reigns Undisputed universal championship on the line coming into this drew was built up like an actual monster And they made you believe that he could actually do it Crowdfavorite really had a chance it became more of a possibility when we had a broken dreams prelude before his entrance Yeah, such a great moment to add to a hard-hitting match filled with so many close so good So good thanks to solo it wouldn't be this show though was one for the ages and when we talk about shows in the WWE gimmick pay-per-views make up a lot of these shows how in a cell extreme rules TLC Well, it seems as though most of those are a thing of the past now But the extreme rules we got in 2022 was actually pretty fun Yeah strength of that was leaning into the fact that it's called extreme rules. Yeah, not normal rules You guys remember how they called it that and would just have standard one-on-one matches not for this one Every match had a stipulation. They leaned into what the gimmick show is supposed to be all right Pop in the ladder match have an I quit match a strap match an extreme rules match The Brawling Brutes and Imperium went out there and tore the house down with the Donnie Brooke match And this was just fun. It was a no DQ match And it was everything a multi-man match like this needed to be Edge and Finn Balor had an I quit match That really exceeded my expectations for sure I brought the brutality and it took a real holding edges wife hostage for him to show And then what the show was built on and that was the fight pit match And you'll see this more than once in this video and that's introducing a new concept to a widespread WWE fan base and making it a reason to tune in something that fans that only watched the main roster Probably hadn't seen before and it was well executed I'd also be remiss not to mention Bray Wyatt coming out to end the show The way this was presented had everyone talking coming into the show and going out of it So another strong paper huge pop. What's next? That was crowd right now for the longest time These Saudi paper views were just some other world and not in a good way These shows were flat-out trash For the sake of it and not only was it not fun to watch it was literally putting the health and safety of those competitors on the line These matches would come out of nowhere and for no reason Do I need to remind you of the disaster that was Goldberg versus undertaker or the brothers of destruction versus DX at one point They brought in a fake Yokozuna. Those were some dark dark times Now these shows aren't just their own little side quest They factor into the overall grand scheme of the WWE and often times They'll also get big angles and matches Billy and Bianca went out there and just had the craziest most smackdown Here comes the pain match ever Logan Paul and Roman Reigns was way better than he had any right to be He had the perfect amount of big spots mixed with the craziness that makes wrestling so fun Was it the greatest show? No, but it wasn't bad earlier I talked about them building a show around a foreign concept for the more untraditional fans with the fight pit Well instead of the proper survivor series this year We got a new selling point and that was war games something that so many fans had wanted on the main roster for the longest Not to mention that aside from the two war games matches Theory Rollins and Lashley had an extremely strong US championship match And then we also had two war games matches the men's one focused around the continuing story of the bloodline And it was a breath of fresh air rather than the traditional five-on-five or brand warfare concept that the WWE loves We had something exciting and something fresh. We didn't have a pay-per-view in December Which is great. You don't need to have one every single month So we didn't get a TLC or a payback or whatever they pop into there instead those TLC type stipulations It feels as though have just been folded into the normal WWE pay-per-views to start 2023 It was the Royal Rumble and just by virtue of the poster the rumors started to swirl Yeah, he finally stopped going to every jungle under the Sun and come back to the WWE The answer to that is no showing up literally everywhere else But the finish to the rumble didn't really need him to start off We had the rumble match which personally speaking I thought tailed off after Brock Lesnar got eliminated It was building up to something special and then for me it just didn't hit that next year We had Cody return at number 30 from his pectoral injury and get the win But before that I wish he probably would have turned like at a higher number. I still think in returning after Seth Rollins return Like him like him his number being called after Seth Rollins I think that would have been a great story to tell we can Paul and Ricochet did a clothesline spot Where both of them left from their side of the ring to meet in the middle Also Gunther versus Cody was a solid solid final to I really enjoyed their mini match And it was a great way to finish things off. There was a Mountain Dew pitch black match Which I thought looked cool, and it was ambitious, but it didn't match was pretty trash Yeah Expectations moment for Rhea going coast to coast to starter ascension to the top of the WWE And then to end the night Sammy Zane made his decision by turning on Roman Reigns So and the moment that chair shot hit was one of the loudest pops ever Just questioning what happens next Craziest pay-per-view endings I've ever seen so good a mainly positive reaction It left you wanting more the bloodline story has been a key strength for WWE pay-per-view endings and now you can completely tell that the focus was more on quality rather than quantity and moments over minutes that brought us to the great white north And on this day, I don't know if I saw it clearly, but man was I ever proud to be Canadian? Cuz it showed out for elimination chamber Versus Roman Reigns and just like Clash it is can we just Just take in the fact that he's going through these pay-per-views PLE's or everyone calm and it just brings back good memories Consistently, there's always something on the show that you can be like damn That was good. It's not just one thing a few things as you like damn that was good too Man, I need to go back and watch this match Man, I need to go back and watch this segment man I need to go back and watch this match and it can all be on the same show. I wish the weekly show was at that type of Consistency, you know, it's only in a perfect world. You can't be perfect, but it's again It's good to be able to say that Consistently the castle the crowd favorite was built up to actually look like a threat and you didn't know do they actually do it Do they actually pull the trigger? The atmosphere was electric. They were chanting F. U. Roman They were mercilessly booing him like there was no tomorrow and it seemed like they're very well wouldn't be but just like drew Sammy couldn't get the job done aside from that the US championship elimination chamber match was genuinely really strong Everyone in that match got their time to shine which is so important in a match like that It was filled with a ton of big spots and it led to a memorable match That's worth a rewatch for sure match also had their spots, but it wasn't as strong as the men's Not every match on these pay-per-views have been good though There's one that stink up the entire card and make me question my fandom Lashley versus Brock Lesnar was ass on a stick All of them I thought were bad with each of them progressively getting worse Never did I think that these two would miss every single time But regardless it was another pay-per-view away from home base in the US And it was a fun night with lots to talk about and if you want something to talk about Let's go to WrestleMania where we said goodbye to the 30s was this show perfect absolutely not But it did have some high points. It had star power. It had a huge feel to it They had an exception night one was great Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns John Cena Edge Becky Lynch Cody Rhodes among others Seth Rollins and Logan Paul was a match that many thought had big-time potential and it was really fun It was shenanigans filled it was again everything that it needed to be Ray and Dom was also fun from the entrances to the murdering of Boosford Dominic and Was also strong so when you saw Ray Mysterio standing there It just all came together Rhea and Charlotte started off slow But man that match really picked up and the two delivered one of the best women's wrestling matches out there Yeah, getting the win and her crowning moment and speaking of crowning moments Owens and Zane got theirs when they main evented WrestleMania and won the undisputed tag team titles night one was such a Special night night was so good. It was everything come together perfectly. You got to see big stars You got surprises. You got great action and fun matches night two had the potential to be even better And though there were bright spots, I don't think that it lived up to night one Yeah, what my biggest gripes a lot of people said that night one was It just was it was just really good bro consistently good So many matches you can go back and watch on night one you just like yeah night two it wasn't the best It wouldn't I mean it wouldn't the worst. I wouldn't say it was just like awful There's a few matches on night two you can definitely sink your teeth into but Overall if I had to choose, I'm definitely choosing night one because it was just just fantastic, bro So with this show was some of the matches and the overall pacing of it I get that Brock Lesnar wanted to work with omas, but man It really didn't do anything for either of them Women's showcase match wasn't that great either. So you started off on the wrong foot However, the in-ring highlight from WrestleMania 39 for a lot of people including myself was the intercontinental championship match between Gunther Sheamus and Drew McIntyre if you want a destruction and a flat-out collision That's exactly what you got chop after chop big move after big move What stood out to me in this match was it's a triple threat match. So there's no rules There were no weapon spots in this match no announce table spot just a pure slugfest between these three guys That's what makes that so great, bro. They just went out there and beat the crap out of each other They didn't need furniture. They just did it and it still worked guys The whole arena me included we're giving these guys a standing ovation Because they legitimately stole the show with Gunther continuing his impressive IC championship reign Edge and Finn Balor was cut short due to Finn getting busted open But we still got a really sweet coup de gras attempt from Finn regardless Also, I thought that Finn should have been the one to go over and then we got to the main event match Which was one of the most unpredictable main events in such a long time between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns And these two delivered in the match. Don't let the finish deter you from Oh, no, I will always say that The match was great match 10 out of 10 that match was so Damn good had to crowd on the edge of their feet. I do disagree with the finish, but Hey, they're making the best out of it They are making in the best out of it as you can see now the blue line storyline is at a fever pitch Even higher than what it was at WrestleMania damn near we're close to it but That match I won't tell anybody go watch that main event You may not like the ending but go watch that match that match was main event worthy The match the crowd investment was high and there were so many near falls and it looked like it was Cody's night But again, thanks to solo it wouldn't be to me It almost felt like the Samoan spike bit was supposed to be a part of the match where there was supposed to be a Kick out rather than it being the closing sequence to me. It wasn't really that Roman won It was more so that the finish felt kinda anti climactic, but what can you do? It was still a good match by all accounts Some other highlights were the men's showcase match from night one and Bianca versus Oscar, which was good But it suffered from being the follow-up to the triple threat match. Yeah, that was WrestleMania night one was definitely the more complete show Where I thought night two didn't really live up to the night before but nonetheless a fun WrestleMania How could I forget backlash live from San Juan, Puerto Rico some of the most rowdy crowds in WWE history So good crowd and then there's a crowd adding to the experience and these guys did just that They turned what's usually a b-tier pay-per-view into a party and it was they made backlash seemed like a a tier pay-per-view backlash It's just fun bad bunny and Damian Priest in a San Juan Street fight bad bunny coming out to one of the loudest Ovations in the company's history the whole crowd singing Chambaya shout out to WWE for finally learning that booker T isn't the only song that he has Toward the house down Genuinely bad bunny has no right to be as good as he is and I think every wrestling fan has to respect him because the Respect that he gives to the business. He honestly doesn't have to be taking these bumps No, there he was and living out a childhood fantasy and it was amazing. We had the LWO come out Carlito rocked up It was violent It was fast-paced and it was also the moment where many fans realized the genius of Damian Priest Selena Vega also had an emotional homecoming and again these matches and this pay-per-view in ring wise Wasn't the craziest but the crowd amplified everything so much more night of champions was another strong showing and it was sold on two Things who would become the first-ever world heavyweight champion and would Roman and solo actually win the tag team titles AJ and Seth did what they always do and they showed out with Seth Rollins becoming the new world heavyweight Also had a really special moment for Sami Zayn competing in Saudi Arabia Yeah, just tell how much this meant to him from the look on his face The match was your normal Roman Reigns tag match with all the tropes you'd expect But it was what happened during it which left everyone talking We had the super kick that was heard around the world when Jimmy Uso finally made his decision to stand against Roman and the Bloodline was underway after a few weeks of TV We were back to the United Kingdom for money in the bank with a bloodline civil war took center stage But coming in the hype was around a different man That was a late night who many fans wanted to win the money in the bank ladder match That didn't happen though Logan Paul and Ricochet continued to make moments together This looked scary and they did slip up and the landing didn't look the best But I'm glad none of them are injured for sure the end of it all it was Damien priest standing tall took the win And I know a lot of people wanted to see LA night when I did too But some fans are just writing off Damien priest because it wasn't the guy they wanted Yeah, there's big-time potential with this man to become a huge star in the WWE Every time he's been put into a prominent position. He's shown that he can hold that spot for show storyline wise there's so much to lean into with the judgment day Do they have Finn winning a rematch at Summerslam with Rollins only for priests to become world champion after a cash-in Or do they do a slower burn? There's a lot of different directions. This could go We had Shayna randomly turn on Ronda, which I don't think anyone expected at this point Gunther had another strong showing against Riddle I feel as though the match needed another five minutes to really get into that next gear He retained and then the roof blew off the place when Drew McIntyre returned and the crowd lost its mind After talk of contract disputes and creative issues and whatever there He was and it looks like these two are gonna destroy one another at Summerslam I can't wait cool. You get your big return. Everyone will go home happy But no how comes John Cena out of nowhere making his second money in the bank return in three years And what an amazing moment this was mad respect to him for showing up the women's ladder match was uncontrolled chaos There were some botchy spots in there You can really tell that there were some mess ups But it was a lot of fun to watch everyone was flying around everywhere and though it wasn't perfect I thought it was the best one to date for the women Eos guy getting the win after such a creative finish handcuffing Bailey and Becky to each other through the rungs of the ladder and Climbing to victory on the show. It was the bloodline Civil War who so's versus Roman and solo The chase Roman Reigns got pinned for the first time And the man who did it was the first person who ever pinned him the same one who did it in 2013 Jey Uso the same man who had been tormented since 2020 Man who Roman knew would never take his spot was able to keep his shoulders down to the map one two three Crazy moment. There was also a cool kick out where Roman and solo hit J with a spike spear combo hours Tried to pin both twins, but they wouldn't say die the story of Jey Uso continues and the question becomes What next the crowd at money in the bank amplified everything so much more and gave us yet another great WWE event Which is what this retrospective is about the resurgence of WWE pay-per-views The amount of crazy crowds we've had in the past year is actually insane on average There's about seven matches on the show and in the past year There's been so many different things that have happened in these shows from this to this to this We focusing on quality over quantity has helped the last little bit The sake of content is something that you guys know I don't believe in not having a pay-per-view every three weeks or every single month has also helped the stadium shows feel big and By virtue of them needing to sell these out they put on bigger matches with that There's more international pay-per-views leaving the US has given us some of the craziest crowds in a long long Matches matter storylines also matter, but as always this is just one guy's observation and one guy's thoughts Let me know what do you guys think of WWE pay-per-views and recent memory? Are they actually more consistent? Are they better? Do you think they've gotten better or are they just the same do you agree? Let me know catch you guys in the next Hey, man, I gotta definitely get this video like I'll go subscribe to the homie super kick studios He it's funny. Like I said, I thought about this Like just was randomly thinking about this and for him to do this video was awesome And and I am total agreeance the since summer slam of last year the pay-per-views have been Fantastic There's not one paper you I can think of where I thought I was born No, something happens each and every time that wants you to Ironically check out what's gonna happen on Monday night wrong most of the time It doesn't live up to what happens on Monday night rock is most time that them happens really on Monday night raw or whatever But you know, it still makes you invested and the fact that they've been selling out these shows Relatively quick let you know that the fans want to be at these PLDs because they know Something big is about to happen. I want to be there So I expect summer slam this year to be crazy the crowd to be crazy. I expect Something crazy to happen at that show I expect good matches good storytelling Like I said, I wish they could transfer some of that Energy to the weekly shows Consistently, you know as consistently as they could possibly do it But at the same time and they are killing it, bro They are legitimately killing it on the main roster. I mean on on them for the main pay-per-views and I am It's really cool to be able to say that that for the first time in quite some time the WWE PLDs pay-per-views Have been consistently great so To you know piggyback piggyback off of what he asked man How do you guys feel do you guys agree that the pay-per-view slash PLDs have been Consistently great for almost a year now and you have you guys been enjoying them Or do you guys feel like they're more or less the same? Let me know down below, but I appreciate all of the support you guys shown on channel Road to 150 K and I'm seeing in speed of YouTube as the champion of the world. Appreciate y'all can give me
