00:00Welcome to the Monday Night War Season 2!
00:25I am Luke Owen D.A.D.
00:27Representing Monday Night Raw.
00:29I am Chopper P. Quesnel.
00:31Representing Monday Night Smackdown.
00:33We're playing through MyGM mode on WWE 2K22.
00:36Oh my god I'm so excited it's back!
00:38We are back and things are a little bit different around here this series.
00:42We have now got tag teams involved.
00:45We've now got more matches to book.
00:47We've got more chaos to ensue.
00:50Yay!
00:51We're gonna make more mistakes and the comments are gonna love it.
00:54Oh absolutely they are.
00:55But this series would not be possible of course without you.
00:58But as well as this episode's sponsor, take it from me.
01:02When I'm not booking the best version of Monday Night Raw the internet has ever seen, and
01:06you know I'm right, I like to relax and unwind by watching some Good Shirt, pal, on my tellybox.
01:13But there are times when there's something I really want to watch, like Resident Evil
01:16Apocalypse, but it's not available on any streaming platforms I've got access to.
01:21Worse still, I know that bloody thing is on the American version of the platform because
01:24I read it online, or it's on some streaming service that I'm region locked out of.
01:29And I got rid of all my DVDs of Resident Evil Apocalypse because who wants to watch physical
01:33media in 2022?
01:35Go back to 2001 DVDs, no one needs you anymore!
01:39Which is why we want to thank Surfshark for sponsoring this second season of the Monday
01:43Night War.

02:04that isn't powered by Peacock, you can do so by accessing a UK server.
02:08Or if you're like me in the UK and want to watch a show on HBO Max before Warner Bros
02:12cancels it for some reason, I can do this by accessing an American server and getting
02:16my grubby little mitts on all your delicious sugar-coated American content.
02:22And this is all possible through Surfshark and its list of technical features.

02:56my side.
02:57That's surfshark.deals forward slash pushtucker with the promo code PUSHTUCKER.
03:01So we're going to go play through the game now Pete, are you ready?
03:04Wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:05Just a second there Luke, because, spoilers for Season 1 if you haven't seen it, go watch
03:09the first season and then come back.
03:11You watch it?
03:12Good.
03:13Welcome back.
03:14Welcome back, hope you enjoyed it.
03:17As you saw, I won the first season of the Monday Night War.
03:21Quite decisively.
03:22Quite decisively in the end.
03:24So first things first, I've made you a little present.
03:28It's this little reminder that I'm number one.
03:33And you know what?
03:34Because I'm feeling generous, I'll just leave it here for you.
03:37So it's a present for me?
03:38Yes, to indicate this is where you should be shooting.
03:40Also it hadn't stuck together very well.
03:43And I made it really scrappily yesterday.
03:47Just to clarify.
03:48It's where you should be shooting.
03:49You've made me a present that says, I'm number one.
03:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:52It's good to know that I am the winner, really.
03:55Just as a reminder, that's where you need to be shooting this season.
03:58This is Pete's confessional that I really won the last season.
04:02See the thing is, it was going to be a badge for me, it just didn't work.
04:06So I'm just going to give it to you.
04:08But also, for this season, we're not just changing up the format, we're not changing
04:12up just those things.
04:14But also, because I won the first season, I thought, Luke, that I wanted a little bit
04:19of an upgrade.
04:20So, here we are, for season two, the winner, it's got a little bit of an upgrade here.
04:50I'm a big fan of this.
04:51Looking fresh.
04:52Looking sharp.
04:53It's because you don't want to wear a beanie for another series.
04:55That is entirely the reason why I did this.
04:58And also, as you know, wearing sunglasses means you are a winner.
05:01Because I wore sunglasses the whole last series.
05:04And that's what winners do.
05:05Clearly, that must be it.
05:07Also, got blue nails, because Smackdown, innit?
05:10Right, come on, let's get into this.
05:12Let's do the draft.
05:13Let's play the game.
05:14Let's do draft day.
05:15Here we go.
05:16Let's start this draft.
05:17You won last season, so you're going to draft first, right?
05:20That is the plan.
05:21Yes, I should be drafting first here, once it loads.
05:24And it's going to be a different, because it's randomized every time you do a draft,
05:27it's going to be a different set of wrestlers that we get to draft from this season.
05:33We've kept, like, ideally the same group of people that are active to be available, but
05:38on the actual draft itself, it's a randomized selection of people.
05:42See who we get in.
05:43Who we get.
05:44Okey-dokey.
05:452.75 mil.
05:49Draft one after the other.
05:50Can do eight rounds of drafting.
05:52I would recommend getting more people than that, because we have four matches and three
05:55promos every week now.
05:57Yeah, when I was doing the testing for this couple of days ago, I sort of, like, auto
06:02did a few rounds.
06:03Yeah.
06:04And afterwards, Triple H came and was like, I've given you five local talents, because
06:07the promos are too small.
06:09That's amazing.
06:10Good tip, anyone.
06:11I was going to say, yeah, just don't draft.
06:15And then you can just get local talent.
06:16Get Tai Mara, Toss Crossfit, whatever the name is.
06:18It's perfect.
06:19Yeah, exactly.
06:20Right.
06:21Here we go.
06:22Okay.
06:23Right.
06:24Okay.
06:25So we've got...
06:26I've got some people here.
06:27Okay.
06:28I've got tactics this season, by the way.
06:29I'm just going to have a little browse.
06:31I think that's a smart move.
06:32I'm just going to have a look at who's available.
06:35Last series, I just saw Brock Lesnar and drafted him.
06:37You sure did.
06:38And I did the same thing with John Cena.
06:39And I don't know if that was actually the wisest picks for me in the end.
06:43I've actually got tactics this time around.
06:45I've got a list of people I'm after.
06:48Not names, but types that I'm after.
06:51So, Bailey, Keith Leeson, Joe, Murphy, Rikishida, Rikishei.
07:05I mean, for the bit though, right?
07:09I mean, that is my universal champion from the end of last season.
07:16Who else we got here?
07:17Carolina Liv Morgan, Lana.
07:18That's my hand-picked champion available.
07:19That's great.
07:20Natalia.
07:21They're both there.
07:22Yeah, both there.
07:23Both there.
07:24Good to know.
07:25So it is draft day for season two, and there's a whole host of names for this draft, but
07:38there's two that are taking my attention.
07:39I mean, it's Tucker and Slapjack.
07:42If I get both of them, I can blow off that feud that they never got the chance to blow
07:45off in season one.
07:47I got to get Tucker and Slapjack.
07:49Okay, right.
07:50Let me, let me, let me, let me actually figure out what the hell I'm doing here.
07:57Because like the lower, the lower card people are actually going to be quite important to
08:01round out the Rossellators.
08:02You want to be making sure that you're getting value for your money, which is why I'm going
08:07to draft Tucker first.
08:08It's a smart move.
08:09Yeah.
08:10It's a smart move.
08:11Tucker's back on Smackdown.
08:12No, you took Slapjack.
08:13No, no, no.
08:14Why would you take Slapjack?
08:15That was going to be my next pick.
08:16Oh, Luke.
08:17That was going to be my next pick.
08:18Is that what I draft?
08:19You drafted Slapjack.
08:20What type is he again?
08:21Is he a cruiser?
08:22Actually, I didn't look.
08:23I did it for the bit.
08:24He's a specialist.
08:25He's a specialist.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Draft feck.
08:28I didn't really want that.
08:29I mean, oh, come on.
08:39Like, I got Tucker.
08:45It's one half of a duo though.
08:48That's just pointless.
08:49I mean, Tucker's great and everything, but also he's nothing without Slapjack.
08:53What's Smackdown without Slapjack?
08:56Yes, Pete.
08:58on his Smackdown without Slapjack.
09:01Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, Monday Night Raw.
09:04Oh, God.
09:05All right.
09:06I've got him then.
09:06Okay.
09:07Let me make some notes here.
09:08In my player's notebook, by the way, look at this.
09:11Upgraded my notebook as well for this season.
09:13It's delightful.
09:14Man, the winner's purse really is big.
09:16Oh, it's gigantic.
09:19So I've got Tucker.
09:20I'll give you a sex tape.
09:22Okay.
09:24Who's, he's a what now?
09:26He's a bruiser?
09:27How do I not know this?
09:28Cool.
09:31And he's a face.
09:33Okay.
09:34So I've got a heel specialist.
09:35That's good to know.
09:36My next pick is going to be a serious pick now.
09:38Something that I'll actually need.
09:40Same, I think.
09:42All right.
09:43So fighters go well with bruises.
09:47So like Brock Lesnar versus Tucker.
09:50Demon Finn Balor versus Tucker would be a good rivalry here.
09:53Good, good rivalry.
09:54Good rivalry.
09:55But I'm actually going to go
09:57with a bit of Shinsuke Nakamura action.
10:00Okay.
10:01So that's a fighter and a bruiser.
10:02Both are baby faces.
10:04Okie-cokie.
10:05Right.
10:06How do I sort draft lists?
10:08Can I sort them by class?
10:11Let's sort them by class, eh?
10:15Let's go with a,
10:19let's have a look at some giants.
10:20What giants have I got at my disposal?
10:23Do, do, do, do, do, do.
10:25After giants, here we go.
10:26Giants.
10:26You've got a Keith Lee.
10:27You've got a Mace.
10:28I mean, Mace.
10:30Ivar, Nia Jax, Raquel Gonzalez, T-Bar, Tamina, Walter.
10:35Walter.
10:35Okay.
10:36Relatively small selection.
10:39There is them.
10:40Compared to cruisers, there's a lot more of them.
10:42Although some big names in there.
10:44Oh, Keith, straight back in at Raw.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Returning to Raw, Keith Lee.
10:50A controversial pick.
10:51That's for sure, said Corey Gray.
10:53Shut up, Corey.
10:54Doesn't know what he's talking about.
10:56Okay.
10:57So what I really want then.
10:59Oh, he's, no, he's a healer.
11:01Look for,
11:03how do I do the,
11:05Luke, how do I play this game?
11:06So you want to sort the draft list?
11:08Yeah.
11:09It's triangle.
11:10It's triangle for that.
11:10Yeah.
11:11And again, there you go.
11:12All right.
11:15So there's only four male giants available.
11:19That's good to know.
11:21You know what?
11:24Continuing his universal championship streak.
11:27It's only mace.
11:29Really thought you were going to pick Walter then.
11:31All right, let's get myself a decent cruiser, eh?
11:35So I want a heal cruiser.
11:37I mean, do I just want to run back?
11:39Keith Lee, Mustafa Ali,
11:40worked out well for me last time.
11:44But I want someone with a decent popularity.
11:48So maybe I'll go with Cedric this time.
11:51Cedric is a good shout.
11:52Yeah.
11:53I'm a big fan of Cedric.
11:56And you've got, yeah,
11:57that's a solid feud right there.
11:58Keith Lee versus Cedric Alexander.
12:00Huge.
12:01Huge.
12:02All right, Cedric.
12:03Okay.
12:04Right.
12:05Do with some.
12:06So my next one here.
12:07Leave.
12:07He's no.
12:10So I think it's good.
12:11I think it's good to start off with first focusing
12:13on like your main event feuds first.
12:16Sure.
12:17So I've got a slapjack.
12:19Anyone can become main event.
12:21You just got to build the stars of the future.
12:22It was what I did last season.
12:23It's a brute force.
12:24Yeah, exactly.
12:25Brutally.
12:27Okay.
12:28Oh, feck, Santos Escobar was there.
12:29Yeah, he's right there.
12:30How did I miss him?
12:31Yeah.
12:32His popularity is way better.
12:33Well, no, it's the same.
12:36No, Cedric was like 69 or something.
12:39You mean stamina or popularity?
12:41Stamina is one on the left.
12:42Oh, I was looking at the wrong thing.
12:44Oh, which case it's probably fine then.
12:46I know how to play this game.
12:47Oh yeah, of course we do.
12:48We have not done any practice between seasons
12:51of how to play this game.
12:52So we still don't know what we're doing.
12:54Come to parts of unknown.
12:55See two people play a game poorly.
12:57Badly.
12:58Okay.
12:59Badly is a strong word.
13:00Mediocrely.
13:01Mediocrely.
13:03Oakley doakley.
13:05I am going to do something that's for sure.
13:17Ivar.
13:19Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
13:22Reet, let's have a look at some ladies.
13:27Okay.
13:29Am I looking at ladies?
13:30Where am I?
13:31If you do R1 and L1.
13:33Oh.
13:34It does the top bit.
13:35Triangle does the next one down.
13:36Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:37I know how to play this game.
13:38Yeah, we know what we're doing.
13:39Okie cokie.
13:41So, then sort by popularity.
13:48So.
13:49That's some expensive picks right there.
13:51Sure are, aren't they?
13:52What's my, what have I just got?
13:53Oh, I've still got quite a bit.
13:54You've got 2.2 mil.
13:55Yeah, I've got loads.
13:56And this is your fourth pick.
13:57My fourth pick.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Yeah, I've got some good money there.
14:04Yeah.
14:06Asuka, straight in.
14:07All right.
14:08Female fighter, baby face.
14:09That is totally fair.
14:12I.
14:18No, I know what I'm looking for.
14:19I know what I'm in the market for.
14:20I already know who my next pick is.
14:22That's good for you.
14:24Sure is.
14:29Who do I want?
14:32That's not bad.
14:36Some good options here.
14:40Austin Theory.
14:42Yeah.
14:43Building the stars of the future.
14:45It's what I do.
14:45Yeah.
14:46It's already running back one, but yeah.
14:49Building the stars of the future, Luke.
14:52What was he again?
14:53Oh, Shayna.
14:54Straight in.
14:55Female bruiser.
14:59Shayna B.
15:00Shani Baz.
15:01Shani Baz.
15:02That's my first pick.
15:03There's Asuka Shani Baz.
15:05Okay.
15:07I'm looking for.
15:09That's what I'm looking for.
15:11Okay.
15:14What have we got here?
15:18Should we spend big?
15:19Should we spend big on this one?
15:22280 grand.
15:23I'm not spending that big.
15:25It's a lot of money.
15:32I'm tossing up between these two.
15:33One of them is significantly more expensive than the other.
15:38You can build that stuff up.
15:39Stamina is so much better.
15:43Randy Orton.
15:46Randy Orton.
15:47Building the stars of the future.
15:49Right.
15:50Look, I know that my thing that I say
15:51is that I build the stars of the future.
15:54I have drafted Randy Orton,
15:56but you know, you also need the veterans
16:00to mix it up with the new talent.
16:02And he's come over from Raw
16:04and he's going to be a great asset.
16:06It's going to be a great person to lose all the time.
16:09So the young guys can shine.
16:11That's.
16:13Yep.
16:16I had an idea.
16:19Oh, did you?
16:20Yeah.
16:24Okay.
16:25This is going okay.
16:26I'm happy with my draft so far.
16:29Six picks in.
16:31You've got King Nakamura
16:33and I've got Shinsuke Nakamura.
16:35I was looking at it and I was like,
16:38there's two versions of Nakamura available.
16:41Now I can both have him.
16:42We can both have him.
16:43Oh yeah.
16:44We both make him up.
16:45Can we make an agreement to both make him our champ
16:46to start with?
16:49He should show different gimmicks.
16:53Yeah, sure.
16:53Peter's got Shinsuke Nakamura,
16:56but I have a King Nakamura.
16:59The crown heavy.
17:02There's a phrase and I've forgotten what it is,
17:04so I've got him.
17:05Monday Night Raw.
17:06Heavy is the head, but where's the crown?
17:07That's the one.
17:09I think he's a fighter, isn't he?
17:10So that's.
17:11Okay.
17:14What I'm looking for.
17:22Got to think about the tag division as well.
17:23Got to build up some tag teams.
17:25Your popularity's 40.
17:29I've dropped my pencil.
17:32Winner's purse.
17:34Going cheap.
17:36Joaquin Wild.
17:39Okey dokey.
17:40So ideally a heel bruiser is what I would like next.
17:47So class.
17:51Bruiser.
17:53And a heel one at that.
17:55Heel bruiser.
17:55So I've got Bubbles, I've got Brockles,
17:58Eliasulz, Corbinz, Corbinz, Corbinz, Corbinz, Corbinz, Corbinz.
18:04Corbinzulz.
18:06That's it.
18:07That's it.
18:08Okay, so.
18:10Go cheap with.
18:10The cheapest option is.
18:11Oh man.
18:12A happy Corbin King Nakamura dude.
18:17It's fresh because it's on Raw.
18:18It's what the people come to see really, isn't it?
18:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:21But do I go big with Brockles?
18:23You could do.
18:26It's a lot of money.
18:27It is a lot of money, isn't it?
18:27He's very popular though.
18:28He's very, very popular.
18:31Like that's a real big, like first time, like big.
18:35Yeah.
18:36Top title.
18:37Could put you ahead right at the start.
18:38That's what I'm thinking.
18:39And as we know.
18:40It works out well.
18:41So it works out so well.
18:43I mean, it works out well if you keep up the momentum.
18:45That's true.
18:46Which I did it.
18:47Yeah.
18:48So maybe.
18:49This time I will learn.
18:49And Borklender is back on Raw.
18:52So he is a, he was a bruiser, right?
18:55He's a, yep.
18:56Heel bruiser.
18:57Heel bruiser.
18:58That's wonderful.
18:58Cool.
18:59So I'm getting one more of a certain thing.
19:02Brockles.
19:05I'm still gonna go.
19:08Conservatively.
19:10And I'm gonna do.
19:12Who's better out of you two?
19:15Oh.
19:17It's you.
19:18Grand Metalik.
19:19Grand Metalik.
19:20Okay, right.
19:21Let's also get some more ladies on the go.
19:25So can I get some lady giants?
19:30I've only got three to choose from.
19:34And a cack load of cruisers.
19:36Yep, so many.
19:37Oh, that's,
19:40that's a nuisance, isn't it?
19:42Sure is.
19:43So maybe I wanna look at the fighters and the,
19:45because I've got more options with fighters and bruisers.
19:47That you do.
19:48First off.
19:49So maybe I'll do one of them first.
19:53So I could get like a Kaylee Ray in there.
19:55Decent pop.
19:56Solid.
19:56Decent pop.
19:57Decent pop.
19:58Not bad expense.
20:00Yep.
20:01But then again,
20:02like Dakota Kai is not that different
20:05and is like 23 grand cheaper.
20:07Yeah.
20:08You go even cheaper than that Lana.
20:11Yeah.
20:12And really like when you sort of split the difference,
20:14it's not really that much, is it?
20:16But I think I'm gonna stick with Dakota Kai.
20:23Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Dakota Kai.
20:25Nice.
20:27Dakota.
20:28Dakota.
20:29So she is a fighter.
20:34Oh fuck, I've already got one of them.
20:36I've literally got it fucking written down in front of me.
20:42Why am I so bad at this game?
20:45We're very good at this game.
20:48Okay.
20:49Maybe they'll be my tag champs.
20:52My turn.
20:55Piss sake.
20:57Consult my notes.
20:58You should look at the things you write down.
21:00I've just got a fucking grid system out, Pete.
21:02Yep.
21:03To like determine what I need and what I've got.
21:05Yep.
21:06That's generally how it works.
21:08Tamina.
21:10There you go.
21:11That's a good giant right there.
21:12There is.
21:12I don't know if you know this, Luke.
21:14Well-kept secret.
21:15There is nobody meaner than Tamina.
21:19I've really only got one option here.
21:20So I'm gonna take her.
21:23Manny Rose.
21:24Yeah.
21:25Okay.
21:28Mandy.
21:30It's actually, do you know what?
21:31Having two fighters that are faces
21:33and two bruises that are heels isn't the worst thing.
21:37It's actually not too bad, really, when I think about it.
21:40I meant to do it all along.
21:43No, Jax.
21:44Oh, I think I know where Pete's going here.
21:47Where's that?
21:48He's creating some tag teams right there.
21:50Am I?
21:51Oh no, they're different alignments.
21:53Are they?
21:54Yeah.
21:56Pete's got plans.
21:58Maybe.
21:58Or maybe he's forgotten that we had tag teams.
22:04Right, I'm gonna get some more ladies on the go, I think.
22:09So we're around 10 currently.
22:12So I wanna get some more.
22:13Yep, we've done 10 picks so far.
22:14This is your 10th.
22:15This is my 10th pick.
22:16So I think I'm gonna get some more lasses on the go.
22:20And I think I might, do I get Tony?
22:23Because I'm not, I don't think I've got a 960.
22:25I can't afford to go massive.
22:27No, you are starting to dwindle down on funds.
22:31That's correct.
22:32A little bit.
22:33So if I just stick, like, do I get a specialist in there?
22:36It's not the worst thing in the world.
22:37Yep.
22:38Particularly because like my giant selection.
22:42Do I get a giant?
22:43I could get a giant on a cruiser, I guess.
22:50Could do a giant on a cruiser.
22:53Do a giant on a cruiser.
22:54Doesn't know what he's doing.
22:55This guy.
22:56Giant on a cruiser on my next round.
22:58Idiot.
23:02Racky G.
23:03Racky G, she worked out well for me last time.
23:05That's her.
23:06I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
23:08She did.
23:09Did she?
23:10She had a great first feud with Alexa Bliss.
23:11And then she stayed there.
23:13Yeah.
23:15She's better for me than Bailey did.
23:19So she's a heel.
23:21Yeah.
23:23She's a giant heel.
23:25She's a giant heel.
23:27Racky G.
23:29I've still got over a mil, mate.
23:31Got loads of money.
23:33Got like 30 grand more than I have.
23:35Loads of money to play with.
23:37Yeah.
23:41Liv Morgan sounds fun.
23:42Let's get Morgan on board.
23:44On Borgan.
23:48So.
23:50D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, yeah, 830 left.
23:56830.
23:56Bearing in mind that I've done one more pick than you.
23:59Yeah.
24:00You have significantly less money than I do.
24:01That's fine.
24:02Pete, I am not asked, mate.
24:05Are you doing what you did last season, Luke?
24:07Spending all your money.
24:09Spending big, then losing.
24:10Yeah.
24:10Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:11We just go in for a straight repeat last season.
24:14Maybe that's what I'll do.
24:15Okay, cool.
24:15Sounds fun.
24:17I'm into winning.
24:18Works for me, brother.
24:24So, if I need to cruise a face,
24:27do I go with...
24:29Spend big.
24:30I could spend big and go with like a Banks.
24:33I could spend medium and go with an EO.
24:36Or I could spend less and go with a Naomi.
24:40And really, when you look at the popularity,
24:44I can build those up fairly easily.
24:47So, where is...
24:50Where's Raquel?
24:53For God's sake, Raquel.
24:55Yeah, 48, really.
24:56So, I can actually afford to go less and get Naomi in.
25:00Yeah.
25:00Build those two up.
25:01Yeah.
25:02You could.
25:05That is fair.
25:06Cruiser face, Naomi.
25:13Ooh, okay.
25:16Well, I have one option.
25:20So, I'll take it.
25:23And that is Shotzi.
25:26Something gone wrong, Pete?
25:28Not at all, mate.
25:29No?
25:30Everything's going to plan.
25:31Yeah?
25:32Yeah.
25:33Everything's going...
25:33Because your face suggests otherwise.
25:34Swimmingly.
25:36Yeah.
25:37How many picks have we done?
25:3912.
25:3912, yeah.
25:40All right.
25:42Nope, everything's going fantastically.
25:45Starting to feel like things are coming apart
25:46at the seams for old Pete here.
25:48I don't know what you're talking about.
25:49My seams are flawless on this suit.
25:52Right, here's what I've got.
25:53I've got a face fighter.
25:54I've got a bruiser heel.
25:55I've got a giant face.
25:56I've got a cruiser heel,
25:57and I've got a heel specialist in slappers.
26:00Slappers!
26:01I've got two fighters in Asuka and Dakota
26:04that are faces.
26:05I've got two heels in Shayna and Mandy that are bruises.
26:08I've got a giant and I've got a...
26:10I've got giant heel and I've got a cruiser face.
26:12So I've actually got quite a nice spread there.
26:15Maybe I could get another specialist in
26:16on the women's side,
26:17but I did that last time with Bailey,
26:19and I really, I didn't...
26:20And that went so well for you.
26:22I just had nothing on board for her.
26:24Yeah.
26:24So what I need to do is actually think about this logically.
26:29So what I could do here is...
26:33Um...
26:37I could get another heel fighter and another face bruiser.
26:41So let's have a look what my options are.
26:44So...
26:47Bring in Kyle as a fighter.
26:51And we'll go with bruiser wise.
26:54Oh yeah, I've got Corbs, haven't I?
26:57There's always Corbin.
26:58There's always Baron Corbin.
27:00Please put him in a King Nakamura feud.
27:02It would make me so happy.
27:04And as for face bruises, which I actually don't need.
27:08Oh!
27:09Spend big on Cena.
27:10No, do you know what?
27:10No, I do actually, sorry.
27:11I'm actually looking for a heel fighter and a face bruiser.
27:16So I could spend big with John.
27:18You could spend big.
27:19That is what you do.
27:20Yeah, it is what I do.
27:21Or I could draw Brock Lesnar and John Cena again.
27:24And then I need to get...
27:26Or...
27:28No, don't talk yourself out of it, Stephen.
27:31Where's my bruiser's at?
27:34So hang on, what do I need here?
27:35So face bruiser in my options are...
27:40Oh, I've got more options than I thought.
27:41Okay, that's all right then.
27:42So I've got Dawkins, I've got Big E.
27:46I could bring in Beej.
27:48Yeah, Cena, Titus O'Neil.
27:49Bring in a heel fighter and I could bring in Roddy.
27:52Yep.
27:53Or Jonathan Morrison.
27:56And actually the demon's right there.
27:58So I think I'm gonna bring in Beej.
28:02Beej.
28:03Beej is a baby face.
28:06What did I just say?
28:07Baby face bruiser.
28:07He's a bruiser, yeah.
28:10Beej.
28:12Oh, you literally have like all the things already lined up
28:13and then you just put one aside.
28:14Oh, that's clever.
28:15That's clever.
28:16I was not that prepared,
28:17but I think I've still got a better draft than you.
28:20All right.
28:21We need next.
28:23I'm the one with slapjack here.
28:24What are we looking for here?
28:26Woof.
28:27Okay.
28:38My options are limited at this point.
28:42I, I'm still spending cheap.
28:47Yeah.
28:49Yeah, that sounds fun.
28:51Let's get, let's get Dana Brook in here.
28:56Nice.
28:57I like it.
28:58So heel fighter is what I'm looking at
29:00and then I may call it a day.
29:05I've got Balor, Corbs or Roddy.
29:13Where did I just sign?
29:14Where's Beej?
29:15Beej is 60.
29:17Sure is.
29:18Popular man.
29:19So I mean him versus the demon Finn Balor.
29:22Pretty good.
29:24Are you spending 280 grand?
29:28Yeah, when I've got 397 left.
29:32Oh, he's done it.
29:35That's insane.
29:38That's huge.
29:38Yeah.
29:39That's, that's, that's huge.
29:40I think I'm done though.
29:42Oh really?
29:44After spending 280 grand?
29:46Yeah.
29:46Couldn't tell.
29:47I think I might be done now.
29:49Now I'm looking.
29:50What am I missing?
29:52Okay.
29:53Okay.
29:54Okay.
29:54Okay.
29:55I have, there's a couple options there.
29:57It's more than I thought.
30:00Knox, Royce, Carmela, Billy Kay.
30:05That's pretty much all the options I have here.
30:10Popularity is not fantastic,
30:14but the stamina is very good,
30:22which is important.
30:23I do have a bit of money to play with though.
30:25So I might.
30:26You could spend big.
30:27I think I'm going to spend a little bit bigger here
30:28and go with Carmela.
30:33And if you are done here.
30:34Confirming my current roster.
30:36There he is.
30:37Look at that as a roster.
30:38Shani Baz, Cedric Alexander, King Nex, Slapjack.
30:44I cannot believe this betrayal.
30:45Keith Lee, Brock Lesnar, Asker and DeKalb.
30:48Well, Slapjack came to me and said,
30:50I'm sick of Pete's bollocks.
30:52I refuse to believe that.
30:54I just don't buy it.
30:56You know, maybe we'll hear from the man himself.
30:58You know what?
30:59When he's my world champion.
31:00Before the end of this season is done,
31:02I will take Slapjack back.
31:05I'll make it my mission.
31:07I don't think that's under my control,
31:09but if it does become under my control,
31:11I will do anything to have Slapjack back on my roster.
31:14I mean, Pete, you know how well I do with specialists.
31:19You're not wrong.
31:21Right, what was Carmela?
31:22She's a fighter.
31:23Yeah.
31:24It's a strong 13 person roster.
31:26A nice uneven number.
31:28Unlucky for some.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Lucky for you, apparently.
31:31I am number one.
31:32Well.
31:33The badge says so.
31:34I regret giving that to you.
31:37Okay.
31:39So what?
31:40I've got 443 grand left.
31:43So I could do like one last big pick here.
31:49That's a 14.
31:50This is my 15th pick.
31:55And I currently have.
32:00After the first pay-per-view,
32:01I'm looking a little bit boned in terms of feuds in that.
32:05But I'll figure that out later.
32:07Because what I might do then in that case is.
32:16What do I want to do?
32:20Because I could just get someone like Becky Lynch.
32:23Could do.
32:24Bit of fun, you know?
32:29Or Charlotte Flair or Bailey.
32:31Oh, I might get Bailey.
32:34You know?
32:34Yeah, that'd be a bit of fun.
32:36And I can show you how to use Bailey.
32:39Because you didn't.
32:39I would like to see.
32:41Bailey.
32:43Bailey's coming to smacky D's.
32:45Nice, nice, nice.
32:46Pretty slow little roster you've got going there.
32:48I'd say it's actually great.
32:52Specialist in cheese up eel.
32:56Okay.
32:58I still have a bit of money.
32:59Not a huge amount.
33:00No, but a bit.
33:02Kids could go wild here.
33:06Who's actually available that I can afford?
33:08Yeah.
33:09You got like, you know.
33:10A bit of Tyler Bate.
33:11He's a specialist.
33:11There's a Mansoir.
33:12Yep.
33:13There's a Trensoir.
33:15Could put the tag titles.
33:17You can't afford both of them, I don't think.
33:18No, no.
33:20A moustache man.
33:21Tyler, Tyler Bate, Tyler Bate.
33:23Tyler, Tyler Bate.
33:24Tyler, Tyler Bate, Tyler Bate.
33:26Tyler, Tyler Bate.
33:28Honestly, I could not give a fuck.
33:30He is here to just round out the roster.
33:32Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
33:34He's on smacky D's, smacky D's.
33:36You actually can also afford Trent Seven.
33:39And actually what a great tag team that'll be, Pete.
33:41I mean, if I were you, like, just pressing X now,
33:45I think that'd actually be a really smart move for you.
33:47I don't want to, I don't think.
33:51Chicken.
33:53Because I've got 122 grand.
33:55Yeah.
33:55And Trent Seven costs 114 grand.
33:57Yeah, and also because you're a pussy.
34:01Refuse to try things.
34:03I'm just going to end this draft.
34:07Look at that for a roster.
34:09Austin Theory.
34:10Look at all of those women.
34:12Hey man, it just puts in the first eight
34:14that you draft, all right?
34:17Randy Orton, Tucker.
34:19He's back.
34:20Shinsuke Nakamura, Joaquin Wilde,
34:22Ivar and Grand Metalik.
34:24It really is a rogues gallery of lads.
34:27Building the stars of the future.
34:29Look at all these stars of the future.
34:32It's Pete and his bunch of lads right here.
34:35I have, two, three, four, five, six, seven women
34:42on this roster.
34:43I'm not even just saying like,
34:44because there's just all-
34:45And nine men.
34:46I'm not even saying,
34:46because there's just all dudes up on there.
34:47It's just like, that is a quite a selection
34:49of a bunch of lads.
34:52And it's collecting me.
34:53You know what?
34:54Some would call it variety on my show.
34:55It's a licorice all sorts of box of wrestlers.
34:59All right.
35:00Look at these, look at these rosters.
35:01I'm just going to run down mine,
35:02just so we can go through.
35:03Shinsuke Nakamura, Nia Jax, Bailey,
35:06Randy Orton, Carmella.
35:07I just want to point out,
35:08my four of my people are more popular
35:12than your top most popular person.
35:13That is correct,
35:14because I build the stars of the future.
35:16Shinsuke Nakamura, Nia Jax, Bailey,
35:18Randy Orton, Carmella, Mace, Ivar, Tucker,
35:21Liv Morgan, Tamina, Austin Theory,
35:22Dana Brooke, Grand Metalik, Shotzi,
35:24Tyler Bate and Joaquin Wilde.
35:26Decent little roster right there.
35:27Decent little roster, mate.
35:28I am happy with that,
35:30because I've got more people
35:32and I think that you're going to struggle
35:33because you won't have enough people.
35:34And then you go,
35:35I can't book all my people.
35:37It's my prediction.
35:38Chargers.
35:38Local talent.
35:40That's the secret.
35:41That's the key to this game, Pete.
35:42Yeah.
35:43It's local talent.
35:44All right.
35:45Well, you do have two mid-card matches
35:46to book each week now.
35:47Yeah.
35:48So you have more room.
35:49I've got more room.
35:50For local talent.
35:51And I've got a buttload of people here.
35:51Well, is it enough though?
35:54Borderline.
35:55It's broadly enough people.
35:56It's broadly fine,
35:57until someone gets injured
35:59and then you don't have enough people.
36:00Local talent.
36:02Bring in the legends, Pete.
36:03Yeah.
36:04That's always it.
36:05Spend more money.
36:06Your roster,
36:07if you'd like to run it down.
36:08Oh yeah.
36:09Okay.
36:09Here's what we got.
36:10I've got Brock Lesnar,
36:11Bork Laysberg,
36:13Demon Finn Balor,
36:14Asker,
36:15Beej,
36:16King Nakamura,
36:18Shayna Baszler,
36:19Keith Lee,
36:19Naomi,
36:20Cedric Dakota Kai,
36:21Mandy Rose,
36:22Slapjack,
36:24and Raquel Gonzalez.
36:27Also a decent roster.
36:29You know,
36:30none of us have done poorly.
36:30No, I think we've actually done pretty well.
36:31We've done pretty well,
36:32I think.
36:33It's like we've learned.
36:34There are some gaps I could do with filling.
36:36Like you say,
36:38I have only got 13 people on my roster
36:40and I could probably do with one more.
36:44I have 16 people on my roster.
36:47Yeah.
36:47So that is pretty stacked,
36:48I think.
36:49Yeah.
36:50I'm just sort of looking at it
36:51because I'm trying to like work out
36:52who my tag teams are,
36:53who my,
36:53I actually don't really know what I'm doing
36:54with the men's tag titles.
36:55Women's tag titles,
36:56I'm pretty confident with,
36:57but outside of that.
36:58I'll be honest,
36:59I don't know what I'm doing with any of my guys.
37:00I just got a bunch of people.
37:01I was like,
37:02I'll figure it out later.
37:03Let me just take my glasses down
37:06for this outro portion of the show
37:07because that is the end of the draft day episode
37:12of Monday Night War series two.
37:14Now I know what you're thinking.
37:15Oh, can't wait to see episode one of this show.
37:19I bet it's going to be amazing.
37:22Pete,
37:23what if I,
37:23what if there was a way for them to see it right now?
37:26Right, right now?
37:27Right now.
37:28Yeah.
37:29That's insane.
37:30I know.
37:31Well, I know,
37:32but is there a way?
37:33Wouldn't you know it Luke?
