00:00 [MUSIC]
00:21 Welcome to the Monday Night War.
00:24 I am Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
00:28 >> I am Chopper Pete Quinnell representing Monday Night SmackDown and
00:31 we're playing through my GMO to WWE 2K22 and
00:34 today is the go home show for WrestleMania.
00:38 >> This episode is sponsored by our friends at 2K.
00:41 Pick up your copy of WWE 2K22 by clicking our link in the video description
00:46 down below.
00:46 Thank you to everyone who has supported this series and
00:49 has picked up their copy of the game using our link available on PlayStation,
00:52 Xbox, PC, and is a hell of a lot of fun.
00:55 Local multiplayer, local multiplayer for my GMO,
00:59 which is one of my favorite things in the world.
01:02 >> This is honestly so close at this point, cuz we've got this week and
01:07 then we've got WrestleMania.
01:08 And because it's a pay-per-view,
01:10 that's hundreds of thousands of fans that swing in that episode.
01:13 >> It could be a massive one, cuz I haven't beaten you since about week three or
01:17 four.
01:18 I've been trailing you for quite some time now.
01:21 >> Yeah.
01:21 >> And then last week you got the bombshell of a veto card that is absolutely
01:26 massively gonna smeg me up for WrestleMania.
01:28 >> Cuz it wasn't just vetoing a random person on our roster.
01:32 >> No, if you missed last week's episode,
01:33 it vetoes one of my champions for WrestleMania.
01:37 He's bloody winning.
01:39 I don't think you should, but you know what, it's fine.
01:41 It's the way the cookie crumbles, so they say.
01:45 >> Just gonna remind you that you vetoed my champion and
01:47 the guy that was- >> I'm [BLEEP] losing, Pete.
01:50 >> Stop losing then.
01:51 >> It was a blue shell to help me, and it did not help me, by the way, because-
01:55 >> Cuz you suck.
01:56 >> There's that as well.
01:57 But anyways, here we go.
01:58 It is the go home edition of Raw and SmackDown before WrestleMania.
02:02 Pete, you get seven minutes on the clock.
02:06 >> Six minutes on the clock.
02:07 >> [BLEEP] >> Yes.
02:09 >> You went overtime last week, Luke.
02:11 >> No, you're right, I do need just six.
02:13 >> Six minutes on the clock, because Luke ran out of money.
02:16 >> I did, okay, so six minutes are on the clock for me.
02:20 Let's get into it.
02:21 [MUSIC]
02:24 My God, one week to WrestleMania.
02:26 >> Hold on, let me do this, hold on, hold on, hold on, Luke.
02:30 Need to get my music sorted.
02:31 It's very important, the music that I listen to, so
02:34 I need to get this sorted first.
02:35 Spotify.
02:37 >> Do you know what, Pete, actually, I do care.
02:40 What are you listening to?
02:41 >> I don't know yet.
02:43 >> I'm gonna listen to Britney Spears, pet.
02:45 >> That's definitely not that.
02:47 >> I'm gonna listen to The Only Thing They Fear Is You,
02:50 covered by Family Jewels, a little bit of Doom.
02:53 >> I think Britney Spears is ace, so more for you.
02:56 Okay, right, here we go.
02:58 I've got six minutes on the clock, and my time starts in three, two, one, bong.
03:04 Triple H, Raquel versus Reckoning, it's okay to match up rule breaks against
03:07 each other.
03:07 I know trips, I actually genuinely forgot, but I had to do that trips.
03:11 Sometimes yes, but matches on to stray away from that formula, but
03:15 remember that the formula is good for a reason.
03:17 I am aware.
03:18 [LAUGH] I actually forgot Bailey was on my roster.
03:25 Are you leaving?
03:25 I'm absolutely [BLEEP] off.
03:30 No chance, mate.
03:31 [LAUGH] Get tea.
03:35 [BLEEP] Don't let the, no, no chance, mate.
03:37 Absolutely no chance.
03:38 All right, see you later.
03:40 Oh dear.
03:42 I'm not feeling physically 100% right now.
03:44 I don't mind pain, but I don't want a serious injury.
03:46 My God, the Rock's stamina is 35.
03:48 How did that happen?
03:49 So he had a couple of matches?
03:52 Okay, right.
03:53 Well, that's okay.
03:54 You've got two more matches left, Rock.
03:57 It's okay, I'm gonna, don't ask for a week off.
04:00 Two weeks off?
04:01 Rock, it's WrestleMania.
04:03 I'm sorry, Rock, we've got work to do, mate.
04:05 Absolutely sorry there, buddy.
04:07 I mean, I don't want my size getting injured.
04:10 Oh, dearie me, that is not a good, that is not a good series of emails right there.
04:15 [BLEEP] Man, I can't believe The Rock hates me now.
04:19 Is this what it feels like to be pate?
04:22 Okay, right, let's head over to the journal, what we got here.
04:26 Commissioner goal, ensure that Reckoning gets to cut a promo this week.
04:30 Brilliant, because that is part of my plan.
04:34 Wonderful stuff.
04:36 Honestly, everything is absolutely fine.
04:38 I've got it all written down in front of me.
04:39 I know exactly what I'm booking to get me towards WrestleMania.
04:43 Okay, I need some power cards here.
04:46 I was really hoping I'd get a veto.
04:50 I can veto him for next week, so
04:52 I can veto booking their most popular superstar next week's show.
04:56 Next week is WrestleMania, so I'm gonna play that card.
04:59 I was really hoping there might be another one, though.
05:02 Bugger, okay, but I am, all right, come on.
05:06 Too extreme, buy that.
05:08 Oh my God, I got half a million.
05:09 I've got loads of money.
05:10 I'm gonna send a chosen superstar to a spa before it's time for this week.
05:17 Okay, that's really, really irritating.
05:21 Okay, let's book my show and let's see what happens here first.
05:23 So kicking things off with a tag team match of, where are they?
05:28 Edge and The Rock versus Brutale in a normal match.
05:35 That'll be fine.
05:36 The Rock is hurting.
05:38 That's fine, he can survive until Mania.
05:40 He's only got to do two more matches, he'll be fine.
05:42 If he gets injured next week, it's not the worst thing in the world,
05:44 because I'm be out of here.
05:46 John Cena wants a match, so we're doing John Cena versus Brock Lesnar.
05:51 That's Bruiser versus Bruiser, that's not what I want to do at all.
05:56 Do I in fact want to do as my main event one on one?
05:59 He's also a [BLEEP] Bruiser.
06:03 Why have I got so many [BLEEP] Bruisers?
06:05 I got one, I can't book him against, okay, right, so.
06:10 Fine, it's Cena versus, what am I doing here?
06:15 What am I doing here?
06:18 I am now second guessing everything I had planned leading into WrestleMania.
06:23 Right, [BLEEP] got two, three minutes left.
06:27 Okay, so you're in a level three rivalry, that's level two,
06:29 that's gonna go up to level three this week, that's gonna go up to level three
06:32 this week, that is [BLEEP] annoying,
06:34 because that's not grown when it should have done.
06:37 And I'm gonna be able to blow off Cena and Orton at the pay-per-view.
06:41 China and Reckoning will blow off at the pay-per-view.
06:43 Brutality and the Attitude Era boys will blow off at the pay-per-view.
06:48 So have I got another match that I can do?
06:52 I don't really.
06:53 I'm a free agent jobbers, I could bring in to help me here.
06:58 I don't even know what I'm doing, I'm actually panicking now.
07:01 I'm panicking and it's [BLEEP] written down in front of me and
07:03 I'm just not following what I've written down.
07:05 No, what am I booking in the week before WrestleMania?
07:08 I'm just gonna follow what I've written down.
07:10 John Cena versus Bork Lesberg in a normal match, that satisfies John Cena and
07:15 gets him to, not my [BLEEP] main event, clear match.
07:19 I'm just gonna change that because I don't know if that's the right thing to do.
07:23 This is actually going to be Roman Reigns versus
07:28 [MUSIC]
07:31 What do I do?
07:37 If I pick that as Joe, right, we're on cool down, yeah, let's not do that.
07:42 John Cena versus, my God, why am I panicking so much?
07:48 I know what I'm doing here.
07:50 With a run in by, run in of Smojo on Roman Reigns and
07:56 that should further their feud.
07:57 Okay, save that.
07:58 What am I doing with my mid-card match then?
08:01 All right, let's do this.
08:02 Call out promo of Keith Lee calling out X-Pac, lovely.
08:05 This one is a call out promo and
08:07 it is the women's champion calling out Chyna, lovely.
08:14 That ups their rivalry, that ups the rivalry.
08:17 That I'm assuming will do that as well, that will up that rivalry.
08:19 What am I booking to my mid-card match?
08:21 Who have I got left?
08:22 [MUSIC]
08:25 Do I put Chyna in a match and have,
08:29 [MUSIC]
08:31 Why do Chyna versus Raquel and have a run in?
08:38 I can't do that.
08:40 Let's not do that because that match will be garbage.
08:42 That match will be garbage.
08:43 [MUSIC]
08:47 Christmas Day.
08:49 [BLEEP] I haven't booked anything.
08:50 [BLEEP]
08:54 Right, no, [BLEEP] it, I'm going back to my original plan.
08:56 My God, what was my original plan?
08:59 [BLEEP] I'm just booking the same thing again.
09:03 Shag.
09:05 What do I do?
09:07 What have I gone wrong?
09:08 What am I doing?
09:09 What's up, Roman Reigns, Chyna, what is going wrong?
09:12 What's my mid-card match?
09:16 Okay, it is Bianca Belair versus Raquel Gonzalez.
09:21 [BLEEP] Fine, whatever.
09:22 Oh my God, I haven't done any of this.
09:25 [MUSIC]
09:28 And that is that and,
09:30 [LAUGH]
09:33 Confirmed and I'm done.
09:34 [LAUGH]
09:37 I couldn't tell what exactly was wrong, but I saw you panicking.
09:40 [LAUGH]
09:40 I don't know what happened there either, Pete.
09:42 [LAUGH]
09:44 Pete, I've got it written down in front of me what I'm doing.
09:46 And then, I second guessed all of my decisions.
09:49 Oh God, mate.
09:49 I went to go sign some people.
09:51 And then I was like, I'll come back to that later.
09:53 And then I never did.
09:54 I nearly didn't do any of the show logistics stuff.
09:58 Ooh.
09:59 It was all around a really stupid thing.
10:04 [LAUGH]
10:05 That at the end of the day doesn't matter.
10:08 But I think I'm going to further all the rivalries that I need to going into WrestleMania.
10:12 So, the rivalries will row.
10:15 The rivalries will row, Pete.
10:17 [MUSIC]
10:20 Now, Pete.
10:21 Hello.
10:22 We are 15 or 14 weeks into this little--
10:24 We are.
10:25 --we're doing.
10:25 Yeah.
10:26 And on this final week, I have forgotten my headphones.
10:30 So I have got to use my--
10:31 [LAUGH]
10:35 I have got to use my iPod Classic and wired headphones in order to listen to music.
10:41 Oh my God.
10:42 To distract myself.
10:44 I don't even know what to say to it.
10:46 Oh my God.
10:47 Well, I showed this to Andy earlier.
10:49 And he said, my God, you're a millennial.
10:51 Yeah.
10:51 Like, where did you unearth this from?
10:53 In my car.
10:55 Was it not excavated?
10:56 Sorry.
10:58 Jesus.
10:58 Yeah, we found this in the desert with all the copies of Atari on the 2600--
11:02 of the AT and the Atari 2600.
11:05 Yes, no, this is my iPod Classic.
11:07 I can't believe you still have it.
11:08 Yeah, yeah.
11:09 I'm loving it.
11:10 That's insane.
11:10 That's actually insane.
11:11 And it works.
11:12 I'm going to listen to a playlist that I made in probably 2004.
11:15 Oh my God.
11:17 And kicking things off--
11:18 I like it.
11:18 Kicking things off with John Carpenter doing the theme song--
11:20 Great.
11:21 --to Big Trouble in Little China.
11:22 Sounds amazing.
11:23 Have fun, Luke.
11:24 I will do, Pete.
11:26 Dare!
11:26 Dare to believe you can survive.
11:30 I need to play a power card.
11:36 Let's do this.
11:37 Here we go.
11:38 Seven minutes on the clock.
11:39 Three, two, one.
11:41 Riddle has an email.
11:42 Hey, I feel like I'm the fall guy every week at the moment.
11:44 Whatever my next match is, I want to win, OK?
11:47 I mean, that's not under my control, buddy.
11:49 That's on you, pal.
11:52 Riddle, this is not my problem.
11:54 You're the one wrestling.
11:56 Just get better at wrestling.
11:57 What did I pay you $50,000 for?
12:01 Something-- uh-oh.
12:03 Shayna-- Shayna?
12:05 No, no.
12:06 Something I've been wanting to say for a while, boss.
12:11 I'm getting a little tired of being the bad girl
12:13 all the time.
12:13 I want to hear the crowd cheering for me, not booing in every show.
12:15 I know I'd do a better job in that role.
12:16 I thought she was leaving my show.
12:18 OK.
12:21 Um, can I turn Shayna face?
12:25 No, it's weird.
12:30 It's the go-home show for WrestleMania.
12:32 No, I can't.
12:33 Oh, wait.
12:34 No, you know what?
12:34 I could just say yeah, because it says
12:36 I'll make the switch within the next three weeks.
12:38 I don't have three weeks left.
12:40 That's fine.
12:41 Yeah, I could make the switch within the next three weeks.
12:43 Don't worry about it, Shayna.
12:44 Can hardly wait to unveil this new version of myself.
12:46 Hey, Shayna likes me.
12:47 Everyone loves me.
12:48 I'm the best GM.
12:49 That's how it works.
12:50 OK, so for this week, I need to check--
12:53 ooh, if I do my schedule run into one of your champions
12:58 this week, I could maybe do that, because I can get free special effects
13:01 booking, which is going to be good for WrestleMania.
13:03 So I can maybe do that.
13:05 There's another double cost, which I can't buy,
13:07 because I've already got one.
13:09 Injury rehab I'm not going to need now, because this is the last week I
13:12 can play power cards.
13:14 So the only one that I need to play--
13:17 Vito Champ.
13:19 Random champion on Raw will not be able to compete in next week's show.
13:22 Do you want to proceed?
13:23 Yes.
13:23 Yes, I do.
13:24 Yes.
13:26 OK, great.
13:26 And also, also play a double cost power card as well.
13:32 Amazing.
13:33 Double the cost of an opposing brand's matches for next week's show,
13:35 which means Luke's going to be screwed.
13:37 [LAUGHTER]
13:41 If I can get free special effects booking for next week as well,
13:57 that's great.
13:58 I'm sure that Luke has played at least one power card that's
14:01 going to screw me over.
14:02 But if I can screw him over back, that's fine.
14:05 OK, so for this week, I need to check who's hurting the most,
14:09 because I want to make sure that no one gets injured this week.
14:12 So that going into WrestleMania, I don't really
14:14 care if anyone gets injured at Mania, because it's the end of the season.
14:17 So who cares?
14:18 People get injured, I don't have to deal with the consequences.
14:21 So people I definitely can't have in a match this week are Kingston and Balor.
14:25 That is pretty much it.
14:27 Everyone else is above 40.
14:29 So that's good.
14:31 What rivalries do I want to further at this point, though?
14:35 Because-- oh, no!
14:37 Tucker and Slapjack's rivalry has gone off the boil so much
14:40 that there's only a level two rivalry now,
14:42 now that they've been embroiled in something else.
14:45 OK, so I kind of need to boost that up again.
14:47 We're going back to the well.
14:48 Tucker and Slapjack.
14:50 Get that to a level three rivalry so I can blow that off.
14:52 Flair and Storm, I need to get to level three.
14:54 Walter and Daivari need to get to level three.
14:56 Lynch and Baszler need to get to level three.
14:58 Kingston and Mace is already level four.
15:01 I've got Kai and Natalia, but like, who cares about that?
15:06 So for the main event then, I can't have-- who did I say?
15:12 I can't have Kingston.
15:13 I can't have Balor.
15:15 And Mace is my champion.
15:17 So I could do a run in on Mace with Kingston,
15:20 then it'd be a run in on one of my champions.
15:22 But he's already a level four rivalry.
15:24 There's not much point.
15:25 Baszler's still my champ.
15:27 So I could do Baszler in a match with a run in from Lynch.
15:32 That works.
15:33 Could do Baszler versus Kai.
15:37 But if Baszler versus Kai with a run in, no title match,
15:41 run in from Lynch on Baszler, hopefully that'll increase.
15:45 The rivalry will grow, hopefully.
15:49 No title match for that.
15:50 And that could be the main-- that will not be the main event.
15:53 That's not going to be the main event.
15:54 It's got to go with Kai in it.
15:56 What is going to be the main event in that case?
15:58 I mean, Tekken and Slapjack, right?
16:03 Right?
16:07 I can.
16:09 Rivalry level two out of four is stale.
16:12 Your face is stale.
16:14 [BLEEP]
16:16 OK, maybe not that then.
16:18 Uh-oh.
16:19 Starting to panic a little bit, just a little bit.
16:22 But don't worry about it, guys.
16:23 I'm totally fine.
16:25 OK, main event, let's see.
16:29 Can I just do--
16:30 I really don't want Balor in a match.
16:32 But if I put him in a tag match, he'll be fine, right?
16:35 If I just run it back again, Balor and frigging--
16:39 what's his name?
16:40 Slapjack versus-- oh, Luke is so distracting--
16:45 Riddle and Tucker.
16:46 Just a straight normal match.
16:48 The only one who could possibly get injured there is Balor,
16:50 but I think he'll be fine.
16:53 Mid card, if I do Baszler versus Kai with a run in from Lynch
17:01 on Baszler, yeah, no title match.
17:04 And then the opener, I can have Wutler versus Daivari,
17:09 just to try and build that rivalry a little bit more.
17:12 Yes, and I'm going to put him in a tables match.
17:16 That'd be fine.
17:17 Promo, let's do a call out because we want to further
17:20 Storm and Flare.
17:22 Hopefully, that'll get that to level three.
17:24 And do we need another one?
17:26 No, which means we can do a charity promo with Mace.
17:30 He loves doing charity promos.
17:32 He's the best at doing charity promos.
17:34 Let's not do Mace.
17:35 Let's do Kingston.
17:36 That makes way more sense.
17:38 Logistics, I kind of want to buy the big stadium,
17:44 but do I have the money?
17:45 Yes.
17:51 I hate it already.
17:52 I do not want to quit.
17:56 Road Crew, let's go with that.
17:58 Basic lights, let's do that.
17:59 And this one, I do not have another 100K to spend,
18:02 so that'll do.
18:04 I've got loads of money.
18:05 Just so much.
18:06 OK.
18:10 I think I'm fine.
18:11 I've played both the things I wanted to.
18:13 Don't need any injury rehab, don't need contract negotiations.
18:15 I'm totally fine.
18:17 I've completed a run in on one of my champions,
18:19 which means I'll get free special effects booking for next week.
18:22 Riddle has demanded that he win his next match, but like,
18:25 that's not under my control, pal.
18:26 You need to win, idiot.
18:28 Just get better at wrestling.
18:31 All my logistics are done.
18:32 The roster's all good.
18:33 The go-home show is fine.
18:35 All I need to do is try and further those rivalries
18:37 so I can blow them off at WrestleMania.
18:39 It's about as good as it's going to get.
18:41 I think let's confirm that booking.
18:45 Luke.
18:46 Luke.
18:47 Luke.
18:49 I'm done.
18:52 I'm done.
18:52 Dare, dare to believe you can survive.
18:59 We might get copyright strike for that, Luke.
19:01 What my excellent singing.
19:03 It's a spot on impression.
19:04 Thank you so much.
19:06 Stan Bush's lawyers are on the phone.
19:10 How did it go, mate?
19:11 Oh, you know what?
19:12 It was fine.
19:12 I was just-- I panicked a little bit because I was like, OK.
19:16 I don't know who really to put in my main event
19:18 because I spotted, Luke, that my Tucker and Slapjack rivalry--
19:23 Bit of the greatest rivalry on SmackDown.
19:26 Not anymore.
19:27 Oh, no.
19:28 It decreased to a level two rivalry.
19:29 And I was like, that's fine.
19:30 I can bump it back up to level three in time for Mania.
19:32 I can blow it off.
19:33 And then it came up is stale.
19:35 Oh, people are bored of Slapjack versus Tucker P.
19:39 And it's all because I couldn't blow it off
19:41 in the last pay-per-view.
19:42 Well, that's your fault.
19:44 Hey, you got an email from Tucker that said, it's your fault.
19:48 It's not my fault.
19:49 Not my fault.
19:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:53 Do you want to see my panic show that I booked?
19:54 Yes, I would love to.
19:55 Yeah, so some of this is mine.
19:57 I got an email.
19:57 By the way, I got an email from The Rock two weeks out
20:01 before WrestleMania, one week out before WrestleMania, in fact,
20:03 that said, I'm a bit tired.
20:04 Can I take two weeks off before WrestleMania, Dwayne?
20:08 That's not how that works.
20:11 [BLEEP] idiots.
20:13 So I'll put him in a regular match.
20:14 OK, yeah, that works.
20:15 Yeah, stimulate this.
20:17 Is he a bit tired?
20:18 Yeah, he's a bit tired.
20:18 Is he going to get injured?
20:19 No, he'll be fine here.
20:20 He can make it to WrestleMania.
20:22 He won.
20:22 No injuries.
20:23 No injuries.
20:24 Oh, that didn't [BLEEP] further the rivalry either.
20:26 Nope, sure didn't.
20:26 [THUD]
20:27 [LAUGHTER]
20:32 But there's no other way.
20:34 No, I know.
20:34 To rivalry the grove.
20:37 Yeah, but it's random.
20:38 Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
20:40 This will up because it didn't last week.
20:42 So Keith Lee, excellent promo.
20:43 Level two rivalry with X-Pac.
20:46 Oh, yeah, that's not going to blow up at WrestleMania.
20:48 No, but it makes it better than having nothing.
20:50 I'm panicking over this one.
20:51 This is a nothing match.
20:52 This is just--
20:53 Let's hope Raquel doesn't get injured.
20:55 Well, it's fine because I don't need her on the card.
20:56 And I'll be honest, I don't need Bianca Belair on the card
20:59 either.
20:59 That is-- I don't [BLEEP] care.
21:01 Like, as far as my mid-card match,
21:02 that I booked in the last five seconds.
21:06 One and a half star mid-card match, love to see it.
21:08 This was more important.
21:09 This is about Reckoning calling out China
21:12 ahead of their match.
21:13 Look at that popularity.
21:14 My god, Reckoning is so popular.
21:17 And an excellent promo it was as well.
21:18 Level three rivalry.
21:19 Because China's my hand-picked champion.
21:21 Yeah.
21:21 It's going to be a banging match at WrestleMania.
21:23 Hope so.
21:23 John Cena asked for a match against someone
21:26 other than Rand Yorn because I think those are the only matches
21:28 I've ever booked him in.
21:31 So he's like--
21:31 Apart from that one time where he faced Edge and it was awful.
21:34 Dreadful.
21:35 I think it might have been, it was disappointing.
21:37 It was disappointing.
21:39 So yeah.
21:40 It's a Bruiser versus Bruiser match.
21:41 This also won't be good because they're the same type Pokemon.
21:46 But I'm hoping that the popularity
21:48 might carry it through.
21:49 And I've got Samoa Joe running into further that rivalry.
21:52 Makes sense.
21:53 Head of the table wins.
21:54 Roman Reigns gets the win.
21:55 Two star.
21:56 Two star main event, which is better than your mid-card.
21:58 Exactly.
21:59 Importantly, Pete, it's better than my mid-card match.
22:02 Go.
22:03 Good booking.
22:03 Yep, that's how it works.
22:04 Good booking, that.
22:06 Not the world's greatest go-home show before WrestleMania.
22:09 I'll be honest with you.
22:10 Well, considering that I couldn't have Slapjack and Tucker
22:13 in my main event, which is what I wanted,
22:15 I instead had to rebook around my show.
22:17 So opener is Walter versus Daivari.
22:19 Hoping this gets to a level three rivalry.
22:21 Currently on level two.
22:22 Congrats to you, Pete.
22:23 Look how much you've raised Daivari's stock on SmackDown.
22:26 I'm just saying.
22:27 Building the stars of the future, man.
22:28 I said at the start of the series, it's true.
22:31 Stock down.
22:31 Yeah.
22:33 Yeah, sure.
22:34 And we know Walter's great in tables matches, I've been told.
22:37 So hopefully this should be great.
22:38 This is going to be a great opener.
22:39 Putting him in a 41 health, putting him in a tables match.
22:41 It's fine.
22:41 Risky strategy before a pay-per-view.
22:43 Yeah, but if they get injured at WrestleMania--
22:45 Oh, delightful.
22:46 Level three rivalry, love to see it.
22:48 Thing is, Luke, if they get injured at WrestleMania--
22:50 Doesn't matter.
22:50 I don't care.
22:50 Oh, yeah.
22:51 Season's over.
22:52 That's why The Rock's like, can I have two weeks off?
22:53 I'm like, no.
22:54 He's like, oh, I'm unhappy.
22:55 Don't give a shit, mate.
22:56 I'm off.
22:56 I got an email from Shayna Baszler being like,
22:58 Pete, there's something I've been wanting to say for ages.
23:00 And I was like, Shayna, no, don't leave my show.
23:02 Shayna, please come back.
23:03 And she was like, I really want to turn face.
23:05 And I was like, yeah, I can do that in the next three weeks.
23:08 You jammy [BLEEP] because if you'd have said no there,
23:14 she probably would have walked.
23:15 Yeah, she might have just been like, right, enough's enough.
23:17 You jammy bastard.
23:18 It had to have been done on this week's show in order
23:21 for that to have really paid off.
23:22 And then, yeah, she was just like,
23:23 I was like, yeah, I could do it in the next three weeks.
23:24 Not a problem, Shayna.
23:25 Totally.
23:27 Jammy bastard.
23:28 Love it.
23:29 That furthered the rivalry, which is great.
23:30 This is hopefully going to further the rivalry
23:31 as well.
23:32 Says it right there.
23:33 Yep, perfect.
23:34 Excellent promo, no less.
23:35 Excellent promo with Charlotte and Storm.
23:36 Love to see it.
23:37 Be it again this week.
23:38 You're going to pull further ahead of me.
23:40 Dakota Kai versus Shayna Bazel, just to get me the match.
23:42 Run in from Becky Lynch, though, to further the Bazel Lynch
23:44 feud.
23:44 Right type Pokemon.
23:45 It's just a mid-card match.
23:47 It's fine.
23:47 It doesn't really matter.
23:49 But we just want to further that rivalry
23:50 between Becky and Shayna.
23:51 That's the idea.
23:51 Dakota Kai wins.
23:52 Wow.
23:53 Two star mid.
23:54 Level three rivalry, though, that you love to see it.
23:55 That's what we want.
23:56 And it's fine because it's your mid-card match.
23:58 Exactly.
23:59 It doesn't matter if it's me or Luka.
24:00 That's why I put it in the mid-card.
24:01 Because Dakota Kai was in it, and her popularity
24:02 is not very good.
24:03 [BLEEP]
24:03 I don't think I checked if the Joe run-in furthered
24:05 the Roman rivalry.
24:06 I hope he did.
24:07 Who knows?
24:08 We've got a charity promo from Kofi Kingston.
24:09 Good, of course.
24:09 He loves a bit of charity.
24:10 Loves charity.
24:11 We love having fans.
24:12 It's great.
24:12 5,000 fans.
24:13 You'll love to see it.
24:14 Main event, further a tag feud, because they're
24:17 in a tag feud now, which is also level two.
24:18 So if this makes it to level three,
24:20 this might be on the Mania card, I guess.
24:22 Slapjack and Bala versus Tucker and Riddle.
24:24 Finjack.
24:25 Look at that popularity.
24:26 Look at that popularity.
24:28 It's pretty good, mate.
24:29 70s across the board.
24:29 Love to see him.
24:30 Except for Tucker, who's 66.
24:32 But that's not the point.
24:33 Yeah, because you destroyed that man's morale.
24:35 Yeah, kind of did.
24:36 Slapjack and Bala get the win.
24:39 Very nice.
24:40 Which is unfortunate, because Riddle emailed me being like,
24:42 the next match that I'm in, I need to win it.
24:44 And I was like, OK, that's on you, pal.
24:47 I hope you win.
24:47 Oh, so you need to rig a match thing.
24:49 Which I didn't have.
24:50 So yeah.
24:51 So three and a half star main event, though.
24:53 And a level three rivalry, which technically
24:54 means I can have that on the card, if I want to.
24:56 Which I might.
24:57 Well, unless Riddle walks, of course.
24:58 Unless Riddle walks, which he won't,
25:00 because he loves me because I paid him a load of money.
25:03 Right.
25:03 Right.
25:04 OK, good booking.
25:05 Thank you very much.
25:06 So, rivalry's none.
25:07 That's [BLEEP] annoying.
25:08 That rivalry is fine.
25:09 That rivalry is fine.
25:12 Oh, that's a dick.
25:15 [LAUGHTER]
25:19 That's a dick.
25:20 Yeah.
25:21 So that's nothing for the no progression on that feud
25:24 right there.
25:25 And do you know what?
25:26 I've already written down three in my notes there.
25:28 So cross that out.
25:29 That's a two.
25:30 Level two rivalry, which means I'm only blowing off
25:32 like two feuds at mania.
25:34 That'd be fine.
25:34 Oh, that's a [BLEEP] Pete.
25:37 That's an absolute--
25:37 It'll be fine.
25:39 Having a level two rivalry's totally OK.
25:42 Sharpie, look at you with all your level three road--
25:44 Look at my level three rivalries.
25:44 Aren't they great?
25:45 And you've got that [BLEEP] blue shell nerfing me, as well,
25:48 for mania.
25:49 I don't know what you're talking about, mate.
25:51 But that's a level three rivalry.
25:53 That's a level three rivalry.
25:53 I got a level three rivalry with Bazer and Lynch,
25:55 as well, for the run in.
25:56 And a level three rivalry there, as well, which is nice.
25:58 So that's cool.
25:59 And that was a solid little show, that.
26:01 I really like that.
26:02 That's good.
26:03 No injuries, as well.
26:04 Love to see it.
26:04 6,700 fans for Luke.
26:05 Oh my god, bloody hell.
26:06 I may as well not have bothered.
26:08 You got a load of money, though.
26:09 Holy [BLEEP]
26:10 I know.
26:11 I suddenly realized I've got like half a million.
26:12 I don't know how.
26:13 You've got so much money to spend at mania.
26:14 I don't have time to sign so many people.
26:16 Oh, yeah.
26:16 By the way, Bailey quit me.
26:18 [LAUGHTER]
26:20 Bailey left the show.
26:21 I mean, you know what, Luke?
26:23 It's about time.
26:24 It's about time, really.
26:25 I'm surprised she didn't leave earlier.
26:26 You've just been replacing her with legends
26:28 that you keep signing on your bloody show.
26:29 Not building the stars of the future, just signing legends.
26:33 All's I'm saying is she should have been better.
26:36 That's not my fault.
26:37 You didn't book her.
26:38 Not my fault, Pete, that she is just not good enough
26:40 to be part of the Raw brand.
26:42 Still have yet to break 2 million fans.
26:43 Oh, man.
26:44 Heard that Bailey walked out on Raw.
26:45 No big loss, I guess.
26:46 You're right, DapperCultist83.
26:48 You're absolutely right.
26:51 Not sure if I could take Ali seriously after that DQ.
26:55 Huh?
26:55 Ruined a perfectly good tag match.
26:57 Who was the DQ from?
26:58 I don't know, but it happened.
27:00 Did you ever run him?
27:01 I didn't know.
27:01 No?
27:02 I liked the Delightous Raw.
27:03 I'm glad you did Concert Rider, because I think no one else did.
27:06 Keith Lee, blah, blah, blah.
27:07 Tonight's Raw started strong and ended strong.
27:09 I liked it.
27:09 Ended strong?
27:10 Ended with a two-star match.
27:11 Yep.
27:12 Reckoning called out China's Night, knocked it out of the park.
27:14 It was awesome.
27:15 Nice.
27:16 It was.
27:16 And Raquel said, what a fluke.
27:17 Try me again, Viagrabella.
27:19 You won't, though.
27:20 It won't happen.
27:21 Neither of yous are on the Mania card.
27:24 And that was supposed to be in position to--
27:26 Pre-match physio.
27:26 That's good to have for Mania.
27:28 Good to have for Mania.
27:28 Very good to have for Mania.
27:29 Very good.
27:30 Still ranking two, of course.
27:31 Of course.
27:32 Of course it is.
27:33 And I'm going to be [BLEEP]ing miles behind here.
27:35 And that means I've got 17,000 fans for this week's show,
27:38 which means that's another 11,000 further ahead of you.
27:41 So I'm like nearly 60,000 fans behind you now.
27:43 [BLEEP]
27:44 Dang it.
27:45 Where's your money gone, P?
27:46 What have you spent money on?
27:48 I don't know.
27:50 I've signed loads of people.
27:51 Yeah.
27:52 And I've got loads of money.
27:54 Where's all of your money gone?
27:56 I don't know, Luke.
27:58 Why aren't I making more money?
28:01 I don't know.
28:02 I just want more money.
28:03 Do you know what, P?
28:03 Maybe we should actually crown the winner of this
28:05 over who's got the most money at the end of it.
28:08 I don't know if that's the way it works.
28:09 I think it's a number of fans.
28:11 This is how it's going to go.
28:12 Bickler, Splice, Shader, Bazler, great Smackdown
28:14 tonight, good matches.
28:15 Never seen Slapjack so dominant before.
28:17 Who can end the district?
28:19 Well, it's not [BLEEP] Riddle, is it?
28:20 No, apparently not.
28:21 Great to see Walter in another tables match.
28:23 Heard Dakota Kai begged the GM to get out of a match with me.
28:25 Desperate for a win.
28:27 Maybe.
28:27 I mean, maybe they'll be on the card.
28:29 If I have the tag match between Slapjack and the other lot
28:32 that are in that match, then maybe there might be a slot.
28:35 Like what Kingston did in that promo.
28:37 Good to see Smackdown backing that cause.
28:39 Yeah.
28:39 Walter versus Devaro was awesome.
28:41 Their wrestling classes fit each other so well.
28:42 It's good.
28:43 Good shout.
28:43 I'm waiting for Balor to get a shot at the title.
28:44 He won't.
28:45 Not my greatest fight tonight, said Riddle.
28:47 Have to hand it to Finn Balor for taking full advantage.
28:49 Yeah, Riddle.
28:49 Stop losing, you numpty.
28:51 If you want to win, just wrestle better.
28:53 OK, so yeah, that ranks you at number one.
28:55 Ooh, that's good.
28:58 Yeah.
28:58 That's a good one for next week.
29:00 It really works because I had to do a run in on my champion.
29:02 So originally, I was going to do a match between Bazler
29:04 and Lynch.
29:05 But I was like, what if I change that to a match against Kai
29:06 and do a run in?
29:07 Still further the feud, but get the run in on the champion.
29:09 That's using your noodle right there, Bickler.
29:10 Absolutely.
29:11 So now I've got three special effects books for next week,
29:12 which is great.
29:13 2.04 million fans versus 1.98.
29:20 Christmas Day is not looking good for Roar, is it?
29:23 It's not looking good for Roar, buddy.
29:24 This is a real underdog story now.
29:26 It's not one that I--
29:27 I don't think this underdog is winning either.
29:29 If you manage to pull it out at Mania, what a turnaround.
29:33 What a comeback story.
29:34 Just a shame that you won't, I guess.
29:36 Or will I?
29:39 No.
29:40 Or will I?
29:42 No.
29:43 But what if?
29:45 No.
29:46 However?
29:48 No.
29:49 Although?
29:52 Still no.
29:53 Hey, could be.
29:59 Or could not.
29:59 Find out next week as we conclude
30:06 series one of My GM Mode on WWE 2K22.

30:22 So much fun.
30:23 I'm really-- I've had an absolute blast playing this.
30:25 I haven't been number one since I think about week three.
30:28 Oh, yeah.
30:29 Oh, I've been tailing you this entire time, Pete.
30:31 But next week, it's WrestleMania, baby.
30:34 Woo.
30:35 And as we all know, it's the showcase of the immortals.
30:40 What if, Pete, this guy nerfs you right at the end
30:44 and gets that number one position?
30:46 Hey, man, I've predicted that you've
30:48 played at least one power card that's going to try and screw me
30:50 up next week.
30:51 But I've just played mine that you know that I've played.
30:53 Yep.
30:54 Which will nerf you right back, hopefully.
30:56 Well, hey, I hope it doesn't go for one of my good rivalries
30:59 that actually grew this week.
31:02 Next week, it is WrestleMania.
31:04 It is the finale of the Monday Night Raw.
31:06 So please make sure you check out next week's episode.
31:09 Until then, I have been Luke Owen, DAD,
31:11 representing Monday Night Raw.
31:13 I've been Chopper Pete Quinnell, representing Monday Night
31:15 SmackDown.
31:16 That was my GMO.
31:18 Jam that jam.
