00:00Welcome to the Monday Night War.
00:23I am Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
00:28And I'm Chopper Pete, representing Friday Night Smackdown.
00:37We are playing through My GM Mode on WWE 2K22, our second season of this, and that is all
00:43thanks to you wonderful viewers and this episode's sponsor.
00:48Take it from Pete.
00:49When I'm signing contracts online for all my big name talent for Monday Night Smackdown,
00:54there's something strange in my internet neighborhood.
00:57And it's happening in yours too.
00:59There are companies online that are buying up your data and then selling that on to other
01:03companies who can then use it for, presumably, nefarious means.
01:06When was the last movie you saw where the big company that does things like buying data
01:10were presented as the good guys?
01:12This is happening to you right now as we speak.
01:15Data like your name, date of birth, address, phone number, social security number, email,
01:19and more is being bought and sold, but you have the ability and the legal right to have
01:24your data removed from these databases.
01:27But to do so would take years, and I don't have years available to me because I'm busy
01:30booking Monday Night Smackdown.
01:32So it's time we thank this episode's sponsor, Incogni, who have made this second season
01:36of Monday Night War possible, and they're making your data safer too.
01:41Incogni can do all the work for you to get your data removed from these companies.
01:45All you have to do is create an account and grant access to Incogni to represent you.
01:49Then you can kick back and go back to doing things like booking Monday Night Smackdown
01:53and crushing Luke's dreams.
01:55Stupid Luke.
01:56I bet you he's got loads of data being sold around because he can't rogue rivalries.
02:00He needs Incogni.
02:01And you do too, and you can get control of your data and protect it from being leaked
02:05by corporate breaches by signing up for Incogni using our link below, or with the code PUSHTUCKER
02:10at checkout.
02:11Act fast now because the first 100 people to use that code and our link will get 20%
02:16off their order.
02:17That's promo code PUSHTUCKER to get 20% off at checkout.
02:21Alright Tempest, I think we need to, or rather Pete, address the elephants in the room as
02:27I drop the TV remote on the floor.
02:30And that is, you are not Chopper P. Quinnell representing Monday Night Smackdown.
02:35Are you sure?
02:37I double checked this morning.
02:39Last I checked, I was Pete.
02:41That jacket does not fit you.
02:42No, I feel like I'm wearing a toddler's jacket, I'll be perfectly honest.
02:47It's very tight.
02:48If I flexed, I would just flex right out of it.
02:51I'll be honest, if the jacket fit you, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between
02:54you and Pete.
02:55It is the only difference between you in this scenario is that jacket does not fit you.
03:00My long arms, my number one distinguishing feature, yes.
03:03And unfortunately that is because Pete is unwell and is not able to film episode three
03:08here today.
03:09So you are stepping in to film episode three.
03:11It should just be a one episode deal, Pete should be back for our next taping schedule.
03:15So Pete should be back next week.
03:18But it also means that you are playing this game and you've not played this before.
03:23I have no idea how to play this game.
03:26Well, you've got seven minutes to figure it out.
03:28I'll do my best.
03:30I know wrestling.
03:31I could book a show.
03:33That's what I figured.
03:34Like if there's anyone here, like you should be absolutely fine with this.
03:37Pete has set you up.
03:38Pete is currently in the lead as well.
03:40He is currently leading me by like 20 odd thousand fans, 18,000 fans, I think it is.
03:45So it's all on you now to maintain that lead.
03:50You know, every show needs a character that suffers a setback and maybe Pete's setback
03:58is me.
03:59Well, let's get into it.
04:02Let's go with the Monday Night War.
04:04That was a terrible lead in.
04:05Let's go with the Monday Night War.
04:07Let's go.
04:08Let's go.
04:09Let's go.
04:10Let's go with the Monday Night War.
04:13I got my headphones.
04:16Oh, snap.
04:18I haven't got my headphones.
04:20Do I need music?
04:21Well, you will do when I'm doing my bookings.
04:25I see.
04:27I'm learning so much about this process.
04:30Shout out to Bob Armstrong, legendary commissioner, baseball cap, trying to emulate.
04:37Oh, dear.
04:39Oh, jeepers.
04:41I'm very sorry, Pete.
04:42I don't even know what roster I'm working with here.
04:45Luke has gone to go and get his headphones.
04:47We'll see how this goes.
04:48I don't have terribly high hopes.
04:50This jacket is very small.
04:54Adam told me I look like I work at State Farm or something.
04:56Do we have State Farm in the UK?
04:58I don't know.
04:59I don't know.
05:00I can hear him coming back.
05:01I'm back.
05:02He's back.
05:03I'm back and I've got headphones.
05:04And he's better than ever.
05:07I'm back.
05:08I'm back.
05:09Let me put my headphones in.
05:10Have you got your phone to do a timer?
05:12I do.
05:13Excellent.
05:14Of course, once again, pull my phone out and realize that I cannot, in fact, use face recognition
05:22in my current state.
05:24Funny enough.
05:25Yeah, that'll do it.
05:27This is a very important part of the show, Tempest, is what I'm going to listen to.
05:30Pete loves this bit.
05:31Oh, of course.
05:32Got to get in the mood.
05:33Exactly.
05:34And, you know, I listened to Life is Peachy this morning, so I think I'm going to listen
05:36to Korn's Follow the Leader.
05:39Follow the leader, leader, leader, follow the leader.
05:41All right.
05:42That is ready to go.
05:44So Tempest, when you are ready, you've got your seven minutes on the clock.
05:48Seven minutes on the clock.
05:49So once you press X on there, you can press start on there.
05:53I actually suggest waiting until it comes up with your email thing, then press the timer.
05:56When the email screen comes up, three, two, one, start your timer.
06:00All right.
06:01I'm hitting X.
06:02Okay.
06:03I'm hitting X again.
06:06This is where I'm hitting the timer.
06:07All right.
06:08Yeah.
06:09You're ready.
06:10Okay.
06:11Starting in three, two, one.
06:12I haven't got a goddamn clue how to play this game.
06:16I don't know why I'm even here.
06:18The substitute teachers here and all the students on Monday night Smackdown, they're going to
06:25play.
06:26All right.
06:27Let's see.
06:28Triple H says you're not going to like this, but none of Orton, Mace or Shinsuke Nakamura
06:31can take part in your show this week.
06:33Sorry about that.
06:34Triple H already ruining WWE.
06:36It's unacceptable.
06:37Thanks.
06:38Thanks, boss.
06:40Really appreciate that.
06:41Okay.
06:43Tucker is happy for a title rematch.
06:45I don't know why he's booking Tucker, but that's Pete's prerogative.
06:48It's not mine.
06:49And your new champion, once again, got to see the title back in my hands.
06:52All right.
06:53Good.
06:54Good.
06:55Good.
06:56Good.
06:57Good to know.
06:58And Mace is happy for a rematch with Metalik.
06:59Okay.
07:00I'm getting a sense of my roster at the very least.
07:01Okay.
07:02Mace's morale is going up.
07:03You know, that's what this is all really about.
07:05All right.
07:06We got a one on.
07:07Let's see.
07:08Ooh.
07:09We got to book an opening match.
07:11Let's uh, oh, so many options.
07:15So many options to choose from.
07:17Okey dokey.
07:19Let's open hot with a tag team match.
07:21And oh my Lord, universal champion Tucker.
07:25What am I working with here?
07:27Pete?
07:28Okey doke.
07:29Let's see.
07:31This is quite the roster.
07:34Oh my.
07:36Liv Morgan and Nia Jax, my tag champions.
07:39Yup.
07:40Okay.
07:41I, hmm.
07:42Let's uh, I might not have enough people for a tag team match.
07:48Let's open hot with Joaquin Wilde.
07:53Not, no, no, no, maybe not, no.
08:00I have, do I only have one of the Vikings?
08:05Oh bother.
08:07Pete, the state of this.
08:10Okay.
08:11Let's open with Joaquin Wilde and Gran Metalik.
08:17Failed commissioner goal.
08:18What's my commissioner goal?
08:20Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, um, in that case, failed commissioner goal.
08:31It would be nice if they told me what my commissioner goal was.
08:35Yeah, that looks fine.
08:40Uh, so many choices.
08:46Let's have, let's have a nice, nice, easy singles match between two cruiserweights to
08:53open up the show.
08:54He's going to get a pop.
08:55That is good.
08:56I would like to think I went back.
08:59I didn't want to do that.
09:02Let's go with that.
09:05Okay.
09:07Don't need any of that.
09:08How do then, then I'll save that match and then we got a promo.
09:14Who do we want to do?
09:15Promo somebody.
09:16Ooh, I don't know what the rivalries are at the moment.
09:19Ooh, let's see.
09:21Ooh, there's show logistics.
09:23I'm learning so much.
09:25Royal wrestling center.
09:27The gorilla crew manage roster.
09:31What if I just like blue Pete's entire budget?
09:34Who we got here?
09:35Who we got here?
09:36I'm going to bring in.
09:39Can't afford Ray Mysterio jr.
09:41Well, that would be sick.
09:43That's unfortunate.
09:44Let's uh, let's see who we got.
09:47Look at all these people.
09:49Jive Owens.
09:51That's a big name.
09:52He's one to watch.
09:53He's in Booker T's fav five.
09:56Chad Gable.
09:57I'd love that.
09:58All right, let's go back.
09:59Uh, promise an exclusive.
10:00Well, I can't do.
10:01Yeah, those are completed.
10:02That's good.
10:03Very good.
10:04Randy Orton has a talent for tables matches.
10:07That's very good to know.
10:10Oh dear.
10:11I'm, I need to pick up the pace here.
10:25Okay.
10:26So self-promo who's going to cut a promo?
10:30We're going to hear from, we're going to hear so many great choices.
10:40I want to put Tyler Bate in a match because that sounds fun.
10:45Let's hear from, let's hear from Shotzi.
10:54You can, you can do that.
10:56Promo skill three.
10:57I don't know if that's high or low.
10:58Let's let's try bait promo skill three.
11:01All right.
11:02Seems to be about the same, uh, increasing or lowering based on their performance.
11:09Sounds pretty good to me.
11:11Let's do that.
11:12Mid card match.
11:13Okay.
11:14Let's do a tag team match.
11:16Let's put our, uh, tag team of Liv Morgan and Nia Jax against the other women on the
11:25roster.
11:26Let's put them against our makeshift.
11:31Let's, uh, put them against a, can they coexist team of, uh, of Carmela and Bailey?
11:42That looks, that looks fine.
11:46And then if, if they want to go and I'll still have that be, it doesn't need a title match.
11:55You can, you can build to that.
11:56That's totally fine.
11:57Uh, let's have a run in.
11:59Uh, we'll have a run in from Tamina cause she loves to ruin things.
12:06Uh, doesn't involve, okay.
12:09Uh, interfere.
12:11And that is going to, he's losing his mind over there.
12:14I love to see it.
12:15Uh, we'll have her take out Nia Jax because you know, they were a former tag team.
12:18That makes sense to me.
12:19We'll save that.
12:20There's so much stuff here.
12:22Okay.
12:23Self promo, self promo from Austin theory.
12:25That looks good.
12:27Another mid card match.
12:29Let's do, uh, oh my goodness.
12:32I'm running out.
12:33There's not enough people.
12:35What Oh, all right.
12:41My main event.
12:42All right.
12:43Uh, let's do one-on-one.
12:46We're going to do Tucker, our world champion against Tyler Bates.
12:53Love to see that.
12:54And they're going to have, uh, they're going to have a tables match in the main event.
13:02Non-title, uh, interference from now we don't need interference.
13:09Turn interference off.
13:11Okay.
13:12We'll save that.
13:14There are not enough people on my roster for this, unfortunately, and I'll save that.
13:25There's that.
13:26That's swell.
13:27Thanks.
13:28Thanks, Pete.
13:29There are not enough people on this roster, in fact, to book a full show.
13:34So that's wonderful.
13:36Uh, in that case, my timer has gone.
13:39So I'm going to lock all of this in, I believe.
13:44Yeah, I think you have to, that was actually the, now the new rule, which I broke, uh,
13:49in episode one people will have seen.
13:51So I broke this in episode one.
13:52I was, I went over time and I didn't, it wasn't because of money, it's because I didn't
13:56book a full card and I accidentally, I didn't realize this was the rule continued.
14:00Uh, but it does mean as an update for people, it means that Pete now has an actual real
14:06life power card that Pete can play throughout this series when he chooses to give me two
14:11less minutes on a booking thing.
14:14So that is, that is the current status, but you do have to confirm your booking if you
14:18can't afford it.
14:19How do I do that?
14:20Press, uh, start.
14:23There's no start button on, well, press the options button then.
14:27Okay.
14:28Uh, so go back out of that.
14:29I'm not looking at the screen options.
14:31Go back to the main booking screen.
14:34Tell her where you're booking your matches.
14:36Is this, is that not this?
14:38Am I not on it?
14:45You can't afford it.
14:46I'm trying to look at your screen.
14:50I'm, I'm, Oh, it's, can you not confirm it?
14:53Cause you haven't got a match booked.
14:55I don't have enough people on my roster for another match.
14:59There's three people that can't compete today.
15:03I think you may have to like buy some people there for goodness sake.
15:07Uh, okay.
15:08I'm going to manage roster and buy some people.
15:10I think this is going to give me a power card as well.
15:12Yeah, it's, it's certainly will.
15:14Uh, yeah.
15:16Oh, Oh, that's so interesting.
15:18Isn't it?
15:19Isn't that, isn't that an interesting thing to know?
15:21Can we, can we play a clip from episode one where Pete was shouting at me because I went
15:26over time because I just sort of, yeah, shut up.
15:29Just insert the clip here.
15:30Unbelievable.
15:31Hey, I just have to take a punishment.
15:32I'll take a minute less on the next episode.
15:36I don't think that's strong enough.
15:37What?
15:38I don't think that's strong.
15:39A minute less.
15:42You had a show ready to be booked and you didn't press.
15:46Okay.
15:47It turns out you're wrong.
15:48Pete turns out you had to go with me for no reason.
15:51And the comments.
15:52So the lot of year, please.
15:55Thank you for watching the show.
15:56Promo code push Tucker.
15:57Sorry, Pete, your roster sucks.
16:00Uh, in that case, he's got Tucker.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Uh, let's sign jive Owens.
16:05He's cheap.
16:06My roster isn't big enough this week.
16:09So I look at the free agent list and could have gone with a Steve Austin could have gone
16:14with the rock could have gone with a million other possibilities, but I wanted to save
16:21you money Pete.
16:22So I got the next best thing jive Owens and press play for the moment.
16:31And then Ivar is going to beat up jive Owens.
16:34There you go.
16:37There's your, your card, everybody.
16:40And with that being said, I will confirm my booking now that I have a full roster.
16:47We have now learned that I wouldn't have been able to continue by booking, which is what
16:50Pete's big issue was is that I continued to book even though I, I should have done, but
16:56it turns out the game wouldn't have let me anyway.
16:58Yeah.
16:59So suck it Pete.
17:00Suck it Pete.
17:01So well, yes.
17:02Also get well.
17:03Uh, so I guess, yeah, that'll give me a power card as well.
17:05A power card that will say to be determined me and Pete can figure that out.
17:09Yes.
17:10That sounds fair.
17:11So that's your booking done.
17:12Thanks.
17:13Triple H for taking off Shinsuke Nakamura, Mace and Randy Orton in one go.
17:17By the way, that wasn't triple H. That was me because I played a power card last week
17:20that meant that three random stars would be vetoed from this week's show.
17:24Really making it easy on him.
17:26Thanks for stepping in.
17:27I got, I got you guys.
17:29Um, so yeah, now you need to put your headphones in, might need to go and grab those.
17:35That's fine.
17:36I've not got them on me at the moment.
17:37No worries.
17:38I will sit here patiently.
17:41Feeling like a freak on a leash.
17:45Feeling like I have no release.
17:49You and I were meant to be, oh gee, for me to lay, something takes a part of me.
18:00Now the real struggle, yes, it's trying to get you AirPods inside the mask.
18:09Nice.
18:11This is, this is what you see behind the curtain of every QuizzleMania, just in case you're
18:16not aware.
18:17All right.
18:18You get your music going.
18:19What are you going to listen to?
18:21That is a wonderful question, Luke.
18:24Let's pull up all spotty.
18:26Uh huh.
18:27Nope.
18:28That's not Spotify.
18:29Let's go.
18:30Ooh.
18:31Should I pick mine out ahead of time everyone?
18:33Uh, see that would require a foresight that I don't have.
18:38I'm going to listen to the Attack on Titan opening theme songs.
18:43Very nice.
18:44Okay.
18:45You listening?
18:46Sweet.
18:47Right.
18:48In which case I am going to start in three, two, one.
18:50Let's go.
18:51Yeah.
18:52Sure.
18:53He's the substitute teacher.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Sure.
18:56He doesn't know how to play this game, but let's not count out the fact that I don't
18:58know how to play this game.
19:00I may still lose this week.
19:02That loser, Alexander, attacked me during that fight last week.
19:05I'm not going to stand for it.
19:06I'd like to settle things in the ring within the next three weeks.
19:08You are in luck, Keith Lee, because that is booked for tonight.
19:13Thank you.
19:14That is wonderful.
19:15Wonderful news.
19:16Right.
19:17So first thing I need to do is I have discovered that I don't have enough people on my roster.
19:22So I need to sign a free agent, and ideally what I'm looking for is a specialist face
19:28that can go up against Slapjack.
19:34I mean, it doesn't have to be a specialist, because I think he can go with anyone.
19:37I can start him in a feud with anyone.
19:39Right.
19:40Okay.
19:41That's...
19:42Oops.
19:43Let's go and see what legends I could possibly get on board for this.
19:50Let's see what baby faces have I got.
19:53Class?
19:54Is that class?
19:55I'll be a lousy...
19:56Maybe I'll do it like this.
19:57Actually, I mean, I can't really afford any legends.
20:03I better not do a legend, because that might really backfire on me.
20:06God dang it.
20:07I don't know how to play this game.
20:08Okay.
20:09Who can I bring in that can feud against Slapjack?
20:12Anyway, I really only need it for one match, because I'm just in a bit of trouble.
20:17But I also don't want to just put myself into that trouble again.
20:21Oh, someone did ask me to sign Mr. Higglesby.
20:28So maybe I'll sign Mr. Higglesby.
20:31I saw that in the comments.
20:32Someone said sign Mr. Higglesby.
20:33So Mr. Higglesby, it is.
20:36That's only five grand, and that puts me out of my hole.
20:39Wonderful.
20:40Right.
20:41Now, I'll book my shows.
20:42That's going to be one of my mid-card matches.
20:43One-on-one.
20:44And it's going to be Slapjack against Mr. Higglesby.
20:47Oh, I've got a ... Oh, dang it.
20:54So where was it?
20:55Slapjack versus Mr. Higglesby.
20:56Confirm.
20:57What was my thingy?
21:00Have at least one normal match this week.
21:03That feels like a fucking dig, Trips, if I'm being honest.
21:07My main event is going to be a one-on-one match, a Brock Lesnar versus the Demon Finn
21:11Balor.
21:12That is on the line, but there will be a run-in by Bij on the Demon Finn Balor.
21:20So that's that.
21:21I also want to do ... Now, this is going to be a popularity-based thing, I think.
21:25So I've got Lee and Cedric as one of my things, or it's going to be Mandy Rose and Dakota
21:31Kai.
21:32So Cedric is there.
21:34Keith Lee is there.
21:35So Keith Lee is that, Mandy Rose ... Yeah, okay, cool.
21:39So I want to do, then, opener ... Nope, one-on-one, as it's Keith Lee versus Cedric in a ... Nope.
21:47Tables match.
21:48That should be fine.
21:50No interference.
21:51So that will be a big match.
21:52And then my other mid-card match is Mandy Rose versus Dakota Kai in a normal, normal
21:59match.
22:00So that's that.
22:01And then I've got a call-out promo, Asuka calling out Baszler.
22:07Let me just quickly check.
22:10Is Baszler a better talker?
22:11Oh, I want to do Baszler calling out Asuka.
22:13Lovely, because they're in a rivalry.
22:15That also rests them as well, which is good.
22:19And I want to ... I'm going to f***ing make this feud happen if it fecking kills me.
22:23Nakamura calls out Brock Lesnar.
22:27Start a goddamn rivalry.
22:29And lastly, I've got a call-out promo of Naomi calling out Raquel Gonzalez for their
22:37rivalry.
22:38Look at that.
22:39That is a rivalry.
22:40That is a rivalry.
22:41That is a call-out to hopefully start a rivalry.
22:44That is a match.
22:46That is a rivalry.
22:47That is a rivalry.
22:48That is a rivalry.
22:49So that should be pretty, pretty good.
22:54Show logistics.
22:55Let's do this.
22:56Let's do the Capital Wrestling Center with that crew, that special effects, and that.
23:01That's been week four, so that's fine.
23:04I have spent 70-odd grand.
23:08I'm not going to play any power cards this week, so I'm going to save those for the pay-per-view.
23:14I should have played that week one, because now that is Mr. F***ing Higglesby.
23:20Bugger.
23:22Bugger.
23:23Right, I'm going to play those two on a different time.
23:26I can't afford to buy either of these.
23:28I really want a double cast and a health spell, but I cannot afford to buy any of these power
23:32cards currently.
23:34That's no, that's no bueno.
23:40Ney bueno, I guess.
23:41Right, there's my journal.
23:44Deedly-dee.
23:45Promise that.
23:46Noted.
23:47Completed.
23:48I will get a pre-match physio, so that is nice.
23:51I need to get one of these, really.
23:53I can't afford it right now, because I've got like 25 grand left at my disposal.
23:59That is all grand.
24:00That is all grand.
24:01That is all grand.
24:02Right, well, I think I'm actually...
24:03Oh, guys.
24:04He's only gone and f***ing done it with like two minutes to spare.
24:10He's absolutely f***ing nailing this.
24:13Actually, now that I've...
24:15Heelface.
24:16Heelface.
24:17Heelface.
24:18Heelface.
24:20I have been f***ing burned by that.
24:22Heelface.
24:23Heelface.
24:24Heelface.
24:25Okay, I'm onto something here.
24:26I am onto something!
24:27Better mark that as well.
24:30Higglesby.
24:31What is Slapjack's popularity?
24:38That is going to be a one and a half star disappointing match.
24:40That should at least be three and a half stars.
24:44That should be a...
24:46It's like two and a half, maybe three stars, and that should be a great match.
24:49Although, man, look at Brock's popularity compared to Balor's.
24:52Maybe that won't be a great match.
24:53But with the title and...
24:55Let's make it a stip match.
24:59Let's make it an extreme rules match.
25:03Just to help me there.
25:04Normal match, normal match.
25:05Cool, right.
25:06I'm confirming this.
25:07Confirm booking.
25:08I'm done.
25:09I'm done.
25:10With like 50 seconds left on the clock, I'm done.
25:11It's a great song.
25:12I'm really vibing right now.
25:13I can see that.
25:14Okay, right.
25:15I mean, I'm feeling pretty confident.
25:16Tempo.
25:17Oh yeah, me too.
25:18So, take me through your card.
25:19This is everybody that is currently available on my card.
25:20Excellent.
25:21I do not have any more wrestlers to choose from.
25:22And yeah, let's have a bit of variety.
25:23You know, you got to open hot with a fun match.
25:24Okay.
25:25You know, you got to, you got to be a bit of a robot.
25:26I'm going to be a robot.

26:59I'm going to be a robot.
27:00I'm going to be a robot.
27:01I'm going to be a robot.
27:03Ivar versus Jive Owens.
27:06Newly signed Jive Owens.
27:09Filling in this week for everyone else that was taken from me.
27:13This big 16 popularity.
27:15Two, three.
27:17Ivar unsurprisingly gets the win there in a dull one star match.
27:22I had so many people to choose from.
27:26Tempest, don't blame me for playing the power card.
27:28I don't blame you.
27:29I just, I don't hate the player.
27:31I hate the game.
27:32Self promo here from Dana Brooke.
27:34Weak and it hurt her popularity.
27:36Dang.
27:37Oh dear.
27:38That is a mixed bag.
27:39I can't believe that Dana Brooke didn't cut a good promo.
27:42That is weak.
27:43Weak, weak, weak for you there.
27:45A weak, weak for you with self promos.
27:47And your main event.
27:48It's a tables match.
27:49Tucker, your universal champion up against Tyler Bates.
27:52He was a specialist.
27:53So that should ultimately go to a decent match.
27:56So stimulate that.
27:58And Tucker picks up the win.
28:00You got to keep your champions strong.
28:02One and a half starts starting a brand new rivalry with Tucker and Bates.
28:05So do you know what?
28:06Pete can't start rivalries to save his life.
28:09You step in here, you create two rivalries for him.
28:12Yeah.
28:13You've got Nia Jax and Tamina and you've got Tucker and Bates.
28:16Both main event of WrestleMania worthy.
28:18I don't think either of them were factored into his plans.
28:21But that's okay because you are just here to start rivalries for him.
28:25Well, just don't get sick next time, Pete.
28:27I mean, it's his fault.
28:29You know, if I was sick, I just wouldn't.
28:31Just wouldn't.
28:33I'd just stop.
28:34Well, let's see how I got on with Monday Night War.
28:37I'm kicking things off with Keith Lee versus Cedric Alexander.
28:40Keith Lee approached me and said, I want to match with Cedric.
28:43And I was more than happy to do that.
28:45I've made this a tables match because there should be a hot opener here.
28:48It's a giant versus a cruiser.
28:50Tables match.
28:52And Keith Lee picks up the win in a three star match.
28:56And the rivalry rose.
28:59You love to see it.
29:02Good week to be Luke Owen.
29:05The rivalry again rose between Shayna and Asuka.
29:10That is up to a level three, which means I can blow that off at a pay-per-view.
29:15And it was good, but it doesn't matter because the rivalry grew.
29:19So I also didn't have enough people.
29:21I've only got 13 people on my roster.
29:23And that is not enough when you're doing like call out promos and gubbins like that.
29:27Although I could have actually had like...
29:30I could have had Asuka versus Mandy Rose, but I had her busy and other things.
29:34But you know what? It's fine.
29:35I've signed Mr. Higglesby.
29:36Because people told me you've got to sign Mr. Higglesby.
29:39So I have.
29:40Mr. Higglesby versus Slapjack.
29:42I'm expecting this to be a one and a half star match at best.
29:45I mean, he sure looks like a bruiser.
29:48Well, two stars.
29:49And it started a feud between Slapjack and Higglesby.
29:57One.
29:59That is a rivalry re-run.
30:01A rivalry re-run.
30:02And a rivalry re-new.
30:05Great stuff.
30:06And it finally starts a feud between...
30:09What a great week for me.
30:11Nakamura, Brock.
30:13Not enough time to pay it off at the pay-per-view.
30:15But I've got finally a f***ing feud between King Nakamura and Brock Lesnar.
30:20After two smegging attempts to do it.
30:22So...
30:23He's got notes.
30:24That's one week of attempt already, in all fairness.
30:27Mandy Rose versus Dakota Kai.
30:28This has been building for a couple of weeks.
30:30Bruiser versus fighter in a normal match.
30:33They are currently at a level two rivalry.
30:35Dakota Kai picks up the win.
30:38And it rises to a level three.
30:42These crowds are not happy.
30:44Not happy.
30:45But it's fine. It's okay.
30:46Because my opener was better than my midcard and my other midcard.
30:50So that is also fine.
30:51Raquel calling out...
30:53No, it's Naomi calling out Raquel.
30:55But it doesn't matter.
30:56It also rivalry rose to a level three.
31:00Don't give a s*** that it was only good.
31:05Delightful to be me.
31:07And here we go.
31:08Bork Lesberg versus the Demon Finn Balor.
31:10The title is on the line in this Extreme Rules main event.
31:14But Beej is going to be running in to hopefully further their rivalry to a level two.
31:19If I get this now, Tempest, that means every match I booked started or furthered a rivalry.
31:24Please let this work.
31:26Please let this work.
31:27Sounds like you picked a good week to miss, B.
31:29Please let this work.
31:30Brock Lesnar retains.
31:33And the rivalry rose!
31:36The rivalry rose between Balor and Beej.
31:40Up to level two.
31:42Hot diggity dog!
31:44What a week for me!
31:47I need a cigarette!
31:49Hot damn!
31:50I'm going to fan you off right now.
31:52God, I just came from growing all of them rivalries.
31:58And that is how you make the rivalries grow.
32:07Continue.
32:08So, a poor opening is your verdict there.
32:12Your mid-count outperformed the opener of your show,
32:14creating a weak start and a confusing pacing for fans.
32:17But you did.
32:19I mean, it doesn't say that you started a rivalry there, but you did.
32:22And you started a rivalry there as well.
32:24However, on this side of things, good booking!
32:27And all of these have grown rivalries.
32:30That says it hasn't, but it has.
32:33Hot diggity dog.
32:35But the question now remains.
32:37Was your show bad enough?
32:40And was my show good enough for me to take the week?
32:43I would almost guarantee it.
32:46I'll be so mad upset if I don't win this week.
32:50Continue.
32:51Okay, here we go.
32:52You got 53,000 fans for your show,
32:56so ideally I need to be at like 80 plus in order to do that.
32:59Hey, 75%! 75 grand profit!
33:01167 grand! That is amazing!
33:04How much did you spend?
33:05Not much.
33:06Wow! That's great!
33:08That's really good. That's really good.
33:10Trying to be fiscally responsible with my shows.
33:13I'm not trying to bankrupt Pete over here.
33:15Badassinger84.
33:16Not sure if Jive Owens is ready for the big time.
33:18Signed as cannon fodder, I guess?
33:21I mean, yeah.
33:23If I had my way, would have no need for Jive Owens.
33:27And, oh, look at this.
33:28Bale and Carmelo work well as a tag team.
33:31Did you see Tamina jump Nia? Totally uncalled for.
33:34I don't know how I feel about Tucker versus Bape.
33:36Don't know who to root for. Strange match.
33:39Are they both babyfaces?
33:40They are both babyfaces.
33:41Okay, that'll be why then.
33:43Could ask for a dog to speak out to get more than Dana Brooke on the mic.
33:47Damn, Carmelo.
33:48That's harsh.
33:49Carmelo versus Nia Jax was so good,
33:51the SmackDown main event didn't compare.
33:53Should have put that match on last.
33:55Ivar versus Owens was rough.
33:57Their wrestling classes didn't fit each other at all.
33:59See, SpecialistOutlaw92 knows what's up.
34:02MediocrePromo from Dana Brooke.
34:03Man, everyone's dogging on Dana Brooke.
34:05Just like real life.
34:07This game is so realistic.
34:09Carmelo is the reason to watch this show.
34:13Did Carmelo tweet that?
34:15That was from BodyslamSinger94.
34:18Which appears to be Carmelo's Burner account.
34:22Well, here we go.
34:25You got your commission to go, but you're ranked number two!
34:30The streak is over!
34:32I see Paul Heyman to run and be like,
34:34Oh my God, you did it!
34:36Thick New York accent.
34:40I am number one again.
34:43The streak is over.
34:45Sure, it was against the substitute teacher.
34:47Sure, it's a cheap win.
34:49But I'm a cheap man.
34:51And I don't care.
34:54I do a bit.
34:55I'm going to try and beat Pete properly, though.
34:58Sorry, Pete.
35:00Sorry, Buffalo.
35:02I was so excited I did a Frankenstein's Monster type roar there.
35:09Continue.
35:10Look at this.
35:11Show quality D.
35:12Match car quality C.
35:1480,000 fans.
35:16It's 114 gray.
35:18I'm okay with that.
35:19I was quite low on fans.
35:21I liked tonight's roar.
35:22Keep it coming.
35:23Keith Lee has a great feel for tables matches.
35:25That is a good note.
35:26Not sure if Mr. Bigglesby.
35:27Yada, yada, yada.
35:28Did you guys see Biggie jump in baller?
35:31What a main event.
35:32Tonight's roar started strong and ended strong.
35:34I liked it.
35:35The kind of guy who got lucky.
35:36Things will be different next time.
35:38I mean, maybe.
35:39At the pay-per-view, Mandy.
35:41Sound like the crowd was absolutely over with good guy Brock Lesnar.
35:45Brock Lesnar did a babyface turn in week one,
35:47and it's worked out massively well for him.
35:49He's like super duper popular right now.
35:51It's almost like he's an entertaining fellow.
35:53Apparently so.
35:54Brock Lesnar called out by Nakamura.
35:55Looking forward to him seeing Settler in the ring.
35:57I do not have enough time to build that up to the pay-per-view,
36:00but ah well.
36:01Great match, Mandy Rose.
36:02Looking forward to stepping in the ring with you again.
36:04That does mean that I got my thingy done,
36:07and I am ranked number one.
36:11Number one of one.
36:12One of one.
36:13And there it is.
36:14The facts speak for themselves.
