00:00 [MUSIC]
00:10 Welcome to the Monday Night War.
00:24 I am Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
00:27 I am Chopper Pete Quinnell, representing also Monday Night Smackdown.
00:32 We're playing through My GM Mode on WWE 2K22.
00:36 This video is brought to you by WWE 2K22.
00:39 Click the link in the video description down below to get your copy of the game.
00:43 We've been really enjoying it so far.
00:46 It's available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC.
00:50 Clicking that link not only supports 2K and gets you a copy of the game,
00:53 but it also supports us here at PartsFunKnown.
00:56 Right, Pete, so previously on the show, you are currently number one, only just.
01:02 - Only just. - It's loads, mate.
01:04 It's loads.
01:05 In the grand scheme of things, you've also got more money than me as well.
01:07 Loads, mate.
01:08 Yeah, but I do have a new Raw Women's Champion.
01:10 You do?
01:11 I have been frantically rebooking my show.
01:14 I haven't because I've been setting up things for the next episode that we're doing now.
01:19 Yeah, so I actually booked a show where I was a promo short.
01:24 - Nice. - Because I'd run out of people.
01:26 Amazing.
01:27 Oh, you don't have enough people on your roster.
01:29 Yeah, yeah.
01:29 It's almost like you shouldn't have, oh, I don't know, spent so much money.
01:31 We'll see.
01:32 Diversify a little bit.
01:33 Slow and steady wins the race, Pete.
01:35 Right, okay, let's get into it.
01:36 Let's book it.
01:37 The opposite of what you did.
01:38 You spent a load of money.
01:40 Yeah, but I'm also coming second now, so I'm now slow and steady.
01:43 Sure.
01:44 - That's tense. - That's Tennessee Week 2.
01:50 Superstar morale.
01:52 Talk to you later.
01:53 And we'll get through the conversation.
01:54 So also, superstars come and talk to you, and you have to give them the right responses,
01:58 and it will affect their morale.
01:59 Oh, right.
02:00 Oh, snap.
02:00 Right, here we go.
02:01 I think I'm going to be first, though, right?
02:02 It seems like it.
02:03 So let's figure this out.
02:04 Superstar's morale, how they're booked, how you treat them,
02:06 if you agree to their request, keep any promises.
02:08 May leave your brand, so be careful.
02:11 Right, okay, so this is me, so I'm starting, so you need to put your headphones in.
02:15 Well, let me get these on then.
02:17 Yeah.
02:18 All right, okay, so my seven minutes starts now.
02:23 Okay, it's triple H.
02:23 Let me start by saying it was all right to get the first rank, you're still good.
02:27 I should have been first.
02:28 Yeah, it's a learning process.
02:30 Utilize all your superstars to build the potential of the brand.
02:34 Everyone else is a part of the play.
02:35 Keep in mind that you don't have to outdo the other brands every week.
02:38 A big part of this job is building towards a killer pay-per-view.
02:41 That's where the biggest wins can be made.
02:42 So pace yourself, build rivalries, and don't burn your top stars out.
02:45 Make sure they can take part in the most important shows.
02:47 Raquel, I'm not happy about losing my champ.
02:50 That's on you, mate.
02:51 Raquel, don't be coming at me saying that it's my fault you lost your title.
02:55 You're the one who got pinned, mate.
02:57 It's not me.
02:57 I didn't make you get pinned.
02:59 Just buck your ideas up.
03:01 It's not my fault.
03:02 Dickhead.
03:03 As a former champion, I'm enacting my rematch clause.
03:05 I want to rematch tonight against Bliss.
03:06 Okay, I can make that happen.
03:12 Good, don't get me waiting.
03:14 I already miss wearing that god around my waist.
03:16 Small increase tomorrow.
03:18 Excellent.
03:18 Okay, cool.
03:19 That is absolutely fine.
03:20 It's going to be my opener, in fact.
03:22 One-on-one match.
03:23 Lexa Bliss versus Raquel Gonzalez in a Hell in a Cell match.
03:30 Title is on the line.
03:31 No interference or anything like that, so safe match.
03:35 Let's betcha I'm going to jam, actually.
03:37 Oh, yeah, I've got a new haul, haven't I?
03:38 Yeah, okay, so we're going to go Road Crew.
03:41 Yeah, absolutely buying that.
03:44 Absolutely buying that.
03:49 25, absolutely buying that.
03:50 All right, what's my journal say?
03:54 Satisfying.
03:56 My commissioner goal is book your least popular available star for a match this week.
04:03 I get to add two weeks to a free agent.
04:07 Okay, five minutes left, so who is my least popular person?
04:12 Aha!
04:14 Oh, that's worked out tasty, hasn't it?
04:16 Because Ali was going to be on the show anyway.
04:19 This has been a really good week for me in terms of requirements,
04:22 because all the things that Trips wants me to do, I was already going to do anyway.
04:27 So it is all coming up Milhouse for Luko in a Monday Night Raw.
04:31 Wonderful.
04:32 Okay, so my first thing I'm going to do is some free agents.
04:36 Oh, it's different free agents each week.
04:40 Yeah, it's different agents each week as well.
04:43 Okay, cool.
04:44 So it turns out that the legends refresh every week.
04:49 So all those plans I made to bring in Beth Phoenix aren't going to work anymore.
04:56 Oh, well.
04:58 What's reckoning?
05:00 There's a fighter, so I could bring in China.
05:06 Oh no, China would blow all of my budget.
05:08 All right, okay, I'm not doing that then.
05:10 That's fine.
05:11 Okay, so promo is going to be a call out.
05:14 And it's going to be Reckoning calling out Bianca Belair, because they're fighters and bruisers.
05:20 Sweet.
05:22 Mid-card match, one-on-one.
05:24 And it's going to be Keith Lee versus Mustafa Ali.
05:30 Wonderful.
05:31 In a Extreme Rules match, no interference.
05:36 Commissioner goal set.
05:38 Wonderful.
05:39 Promo.
05:42 I'll come back to that.
05:43 Main event is going to be a tag team match of Samoa Joe and Gian Sina versus Brock Lesnar
05:55 and Randy Orton.
05:58 I could do a TLC match, of course it is.
06:03 Of course it's a TLC match.
06:05 I'm going to start no interference.
06:09 So that's okay.
06:11 So safe match.
06:13 All right, which means it is time for Edge.
06:15 Now, do I want to turn Edge heel?
06:18 Okay, Edge.
06:21 I've got no plans for Edge whatsoever.
06:23 I actually didn't need him.
06:24 Generates extra revenue with the chance of lowering the superstar's popularity with a
06:28 poor performance.
06:29 Stores a small bonus of fans for the week with a chance of small popularity boost to
06:35 the superstar.
06:35 Okay, let's do that.
06:36 This **** is bailing for two weeks in a row now.
06:40 Cross average when we get to it.
06:41 Okay, right.
06:44 Power cards.
06:45 What can I do?
06:45 Any advertising logistics of the show will be free.
06:49 Sweet, I'll use that.
06:50 Don't need to do any injury.
06:54 Add one week's free agents, which I haven't got.
06:59 Okay, right.
07:01 So my ratings.
07:02 So I think my show this week, that's going to be much better balanced in terms of
07:09 big time match, middling match, big time match.
07:14 So I think that is good.
07:17 It's a shame I haven't got Bailey involved in something because that is two weeks on
07:22 the balance without Bailey doing something.
07:24 I could take Edge off the show.
07:27 Put a Bailey promo in there instead.
07:31 She's a specialist.
07:35 Okay, right.
07:37 I don't think there's anything like that for me to pay attention to.
07:40 I've got a minute and a half.
07:41 So I've got time.
07:42 I've got time to think about this.
07:43 I don't need any of these lads like Gunther Magurda.
07:49 Sounds like someone from CBW.
07:52 Don't need Linsey or Kushida or anything like that.
07:55 Won't be coming in permanently.
07:56 183,000.
07:56 Don't need Harvey Corbin.
07:58 Don't need Devlin.
08:00 Vandango Akira Tozawa.
08:01 That's not what I need actually.
08:02 So where's Bailey?
08:06 Oh, I can release talent.
08:07 So I can release talent and I'll refund 99,000 of their contract cost.
08:11 I've got a plan for Bailey.
08:16 Bianca Belair, but I've just moved that into Mia Yin because I didn't get to have Beth
08:21 Phoenix, which was my plan.
08:23 I've got nothing for Bailey currently.
08:27 I've got an odd number of women or something.
08:29 I don't think I have actually.
08:32 I'll keep hold of Bailey.
08:34 I'll keep hold of Bailey.
08:35 I'll keep hold of Bailey for the moment.
08:37 She was like the last person I drafted.
08:41 So right, let's check the show.
08:43 Opener, Hell in a Cell match, Extreme Rules, TLC.
08:47 Big old TLC match.
08:50 Right, I'm booking.
08:53 Six, five, four, three.
08:58 Are you done?
08:59 Okay.
08:59 How was that, mate?
09:01 Is that good?
09:02 It was actually a good show.
09:03 There's actually something that really helped me.
09:05 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:06 One of the emails I got really helped me.
09:07 That is good information.
09:10 Right, let me get my timer ready.
09:13 I'll just get my headphones in.
09:15 I think I might continue listening to Limbiscuit still sucks.
09:19 They're a timeless band, Pete.
09:20 Whatever you say, mate.
09:23 Here we go.
09:27 Right, seven minutes starting now.
09:31 You're not gonna like this, but none of Riddle, Mace and Kingston can take part in your show.
09:35 This week's up.
09:35 Oh, you, Luke, you bastard.
09:40 He's used his power, the prick.
09:42 And I'm gonna play that as well.
09:48 That means that Pete cannot book three random superstars.
09:53 So Luke has used his power card so that I can't book.
10:00 Kofi Kingston, Mace and Riddle on my show.
10:04 Kofi Kingston, the guy who's in my top feud against Walter right now.
10:08 Bastard.
10:10 Yeah, I actually forgot I played that power card.
10:13 So, um, worked out well for me.
10:16 Solid debut show.
10:18 First in the rankings is quite a feat.
10:20 Never doubt my mind.
10:21 Respond quicker, Triple H.
10:23 Maybe so, but don't land up now.
10:24 In order to maintain your lead, you need to keep putting on great matches and promos.
10:26 Keep in mind that you don't have to outdo the other brands.
10:27 Yeah, pace yourself.
10:29 Build rivalries.
10:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:30 All right.
10:31 Just another caution.
10:32 Now that Kai's stamina level below 40, she's vulnerable to becoming injured.
10:35 The lower the stamina, the more strenuous the match, the greater the risk becomes.
10:37 Cool, that's fine.
10:38 Complete the rest of your recovery, 12 stamina points in a week.
10:40 Those who have caught a promo will recover six and can't become injured that week.
10:42 Amazing.
10:43 Cool.
10:43 The loser, Toni, attacked me during the last fight.
10:45 I'm not going to stand for garbage like that.
10:46 I want to settle things in the ring with her within the next three weeks.
10:48 Amazing.
10:49 I can do that.
10:50 Sure thing, Shayna.
10:50 Good.
10:52 You mess with Basil, you pay the price.
10:54 Shayna said that she wants a match against Toni Storm.
10:57 But you know what?
10:57 I'm a generous GM.
11:00 I can give you what you want, Shayna.
11:02 You can have that match against Toni.
11:04 Ain't no sweat.
11:06 Also, because I'd already planned for you to have that match anyway.
11:08 So, in this one, so I can't use Kingston, which is unfortunate because I wanted to continue that
11:15 little rivalry that we had going on with Walter.
11:20 But what we're going to do this week, what's Toni Storm looking like?
11:27 Uh, maybe have that as the opener.
11:30 I think.
11:30 I don't know if that's going to be the main because I don't think Toni Storm is going to
11:34 is strong enough popularity for that.
11:36 But we can give Basil her blow-off match that she wants against Toni Storm.
11:40 We can have this stamina low.
11:44 This stamina is fine.
11:46 Both of those are good.
11:48 70-71.
11:49 That's all good.
11:50 Do a tables match.
11:50 It's not going to be for the title.
11:52 Non-title match.
11:52 No interference on this one.
11:54 Yeah, let's confirm that one.
11:57 So, for this one, new logistics.
11:58 Okay, so we get the concert hall.
12:00 So, this one, we're going to go to the concert hall.
12:03 So, show quality plus 4%.
12:04 Dig a price slightly more.
12:06 Capacity higher.
12:08 Book one, level one or higher rivalries.
12:10 I can do that, I think.
12:11 It's going to cost 10,000, but that's fine.
12:13 Road crew available for purchase.
12:16 7,500.
12:18 Book one special match types.
12:19 Great, got that.
12:20 Let's buy that.
12:23 7,500.
12:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:24 This is what we, this is what we save the money for.
12:26 This is what we save the money for.
12:28 All right.
12:28 Basic lights and effects.
12:31 We're going to have this.
12:32 Cost 10,000.
12:33 Can totally do that.
12:34 Book two superstars.
12:35 One, two star power.
12:37 I've got that.
12:37 Buy this.
12:39 25,000.
12:40 What does it do?
12:40 Fans game 1,500.
12:42 Show quality plus 4%.
12:42 Book one superstar with less than 50 popularity on promos.
12:49 Sure, let's do it.
12:50 Sure.
12:52 One superstar minus 50.
12:54 I can do that.
12:55 On a promo.
12:57 Let's do a self promo.
13:00 He's got less than 50.
13:01 Daivari, Natalia or Slapjack.
13:05 Slapjack's got, Slapjack's got two, two promo.
13:09 And so does Daivari.
13:11 Daivari is in a feud, so we can do a self promo here.
13:16 That works for me.
13:17 Sure.
13:19 Main event.
13:21 I can't have Walter, unfortunately.
13:22 So what we're going to do is going to book a tag match.
13:24 We're going to have Walter and, Walter and Bala.
13:30 Yeah.
13:32 I can't do Daivari and Riddle though.
13:35 No.
13:35 I can't use Kingston, Riddle or Mace.
13:38 That's really bad.
13:39 Is it just in matches or I can't book him in promos?
13:41 I can't book him in promos either.
13:44 God, that power is really frustrating.
13:48 Um, okay.
13:49 So what we're going to do instead, this is going to be a worse week.
13:53 It can already turn out this, I'm already going to come up short in this week.
13:55 We're going to have Walter versus, Walter versus Tucker.
13:59 Okay.
14:00 Oh God, I'm going to run out of time.
14:03 Okay.
14:04 We're going to have the opener instead be Walter versus Tucker.
14:07 I'll be honest, not being able to book Kingston, Riddle and Mace has really thrown me through a
14:12 loop this week.
14:12 So got my main event of Walter against, Tucker, I guess.
14:17 Walter versus Tucker in the opener.
14:22 Just normal match.
14:23 Tables match.
14:24 No, normal match.
14:27 Fail commissioner goal?
14:29 What's the commissioner goal?
14:30 Schedule a run-in on your most popular star available this week.
14:34 Oh my God, okay, I need to do a run-in.
14:35 Oh my God, this didn't save.
14:37 Oh, I hate all of this.
14:38 I hate all of this.
14:39 Walter versus Tucker.
14:41 Do a run-in.
14:42 Interference, run-in.
14:44 Uh, slapjack.
14:49 Run-in and attack Tucker.
14:50 Why is that?
14:52 Oh, does it have to be against Walter?
14:54 Okay, right.
14:54 Oh, I hate that.
14:56 I don't like that at all, but I've got to do it.
14:58 And I guess I've got slapjack running in that match as well.
15:02 Okay, uh, main event is going to be that, uh, Shana Baszler, Tony Storm blow-off match.
15:13 But that's going to be an extreme rules match.
15:15 Uh, no title match.
15:18 Straight singles.
15:21 Uh, and mid card.
15:23 Uh, we can do a women's tag.
15:26 So let's do Becky and Dakota versus Charlotte and Natty.
15:35 Yeah, let's go with that.
15:35 No interference.
15:37 All right, uh, and let's do advertising for Bala.
15:43 Yep, need money.
15:45 Uh, all right, I have a show at least.
15:48 That's fine.
15:48 And I've booked all that stuff.
15:50 Uh, you know what?
15:52 Yeah.
15:52 Slapjack's popular to be raised by 20.
15:56 Absolutely.
15:56 All right, that's great.
15:58 Uh, guarantees the chosen superstar will win their match this week.
16:01 Uh, no, I don't want that.
16:04 Add two weeks for free agent superstars contract duration.
16:06 No, that's fine.
16:08 Uh, promise Shana Baszler and Tony Storm, which is fine.
16:12 Talent, uh, Walter has a talent for tables matches.
16:13 I've booked him in a tables match in the opener, right?
16:15 It's a tables match.
16:16 Fantastic.
16:16 Great.
16:18 And triple is waiting to see how your first show fares.
16:21 Great.
16:22 I think I'm done.
16:24 No, I'm not confident in this week at all, guys.
16:27 This is going to be, uh, I don't think this is going to be a good week for me.
16:31 I think Luke might have this one, but let's confirm that booking.
16:35 All done.
16:38 All done.
16:39 30 seconds to go on that timer.
16:41 How was that week for you?
16:43 Oh, it's great, man.
16:44 Yeah.
16:44 Smashed it.
16:45 Oh, yeah, it's gonna be a great week.
16:47 Easy, easy dubs for me.
16:48 Really?
16:49 Easy dubs, mate.
16:50 Okay.
16:50 Ain't nothing to it.
16:51 No, uh, no booking crutches given to you?
16:53 Nope.
16:54 None at all.
16:54 You!
16:55 Bastard!
16:57 Do you know which three you vetoed or was it random?
17:01 No, it was random.
17:02 Do you want to know who you vetoed?
17:03 What can I find out when we get to the shows?
17:06 I don't think it's going to tell you.
17:07 Well, you can tell me when we get to your shows.
17:09 Okay.
17:09 I want to see what you've booked.
17:11 Okay, so here we go.
17:12 Monday Night Raw.
17:13 So, rematch from last week.
17:15 This was actually-
17:16 Alexa Bliss, Raquel Gonzalez.
17:17 Hell in a Cell opener!
17:18 Yeah.
17:18 Okay.
17:19 This was requested by Raquel.
17:21 Oh, she wanted a rematch with Bliss.
17:22 She said I wanted a rematch and that actually helped me
17:25 because that was the match I was struggling to book.
17:27 I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a rematch,
17:29 but her requesting one helped her morale.
17:33 Alexa Bliss's stamina is only 47 going into a Hell in a Cell match.
17:37 Yeah.
17:38 Oh, she's a fighting champion.
17:39 So, let's see if she remains the champion.
17:41 Here we go.
17:42 She certainly does.
17:44 Alexa Bliss retains!
17:45 Four and a half star classic.
17:47 Four and a half star classic.
17:48 There it is.
17:48 Do you know what?
17:49 Like, great opener.
17:50 Raquel emailed me being like,
17:51 "I'm sad that I lost last week.
17:53 I thought it was on eBay."
17:54 I didn't make it.
17:56 Is that what you said back to her?
17:57 All right.
18:00 Okay.
18:01 Mia Yim.
18:01 Reckoning.
18:02 Yep, sorry.
18:03 Calling out Bianca Bel Edstein.
18:04 New rivalry there.
18:05 Actually, I didn't check how much the rivalry increased for Bliss and Raquel.
18:09 Premier rating is good.
18:12 Yeah, yeah.
18:12 Yeah.
18:13 Keith Lee, Mr. Farrelly.
18:14 Extreme rules match.
18:15 Okay.
18:17 Yep, yeah, yeah.
18:18 Giant versus Cruiserweight.
18:19 All right.
18:19 Decided last week.
18:20 They've both got massive amounts of stamina.
18:22 Oh, yeah.
18:22 Hot damn.
18:23 All right.
18:24 Simulate this one.
18:25 Two, three.
18:26 Keith Lee!
18:27 Keith Lee gets the big win.
18:28 Keith Lee gets the win.
18:29 And that's a three and a half star.
18:31 Oh, if you've got a big main event here.
18:34 Yeah.
18:34 This is going to be a great show for you.
18:36 Should be a big win for me.
18:37 So, that was my...
18:38 That's your level two rivalry growing.
18:39 That was my requirement for the week as well,
18:41 was to book my least popular star in a match,
18:44 which also worked out nicely,
18:45 because I'd already planned to book Ali in this match.
18:47 Nice.
18:47 For old Ali.
18:48 Very nice.
18:49 Unfortunately, Edge has got **** to do at the moment.
18:51 Edge is also there doing a charity promo.
18:55 Well, I don't want to do an advertising one,
18:56 because it might hurt their popularity.
18:58 I'm like, it's already one of my most popular guys.
19:00 Ooh.
19:00 Oh, it hurts popularity to do advertising promos?
19:03 Yeah.
19:03 Whoops.
19:03 Okay.
19:07 That's good.
19:07 That's good information.
19:08 Yeah, so...
19:09 It didn't give me that warning.
19:10 Well, I booked an advert promo.
19:12 Yeah, it gave me the warning, and also like...
19:14 This is my second week without Bayley on the show.
19:16 Oh my god.
19:17 I'm fully expecting an email from her next week.
19:19 Poor Bayley.
19:21 5,000 fans.
19:23 5,000 fans as well.
19:24 So, that's good.
19:25 Good charity work there from the Edge man.
19:28 Big main event.
19:28 John Cena, Samoa Joe versus Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar
19:31 in a tag team TLC match.
19:32 God.
19:33 One-hundo-pee, the WWE champion.
19:35 Oh my god.
19:36 All right.
19:36 All the top contenders.
19:37 Yeah.
19:38 Two, three.
19:40 Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton win.
19:42 Lesnar and Orton retain.
19:43 And it's only a three and a half star match then.
19:45 Okay.
19:46 Oh, ****.
19:47 New rivalry, Joe and Cena versus Lesnar and Orton.
19:51 Oh.
19:51 Oh, bugger.
19:54 I thought that would help their singles rivalry.
19:58 It should.
19:58 That might just be a supplementary rivalry maybe.
20:01 I don't know.
20:02 Yeah.
20:02 Okay.
20:04 All right, let's see what you got.
20:06 This week.
20:09 It's Tucker.
20:10 He's in.
20:12 Big man Tucker.
20:13 Okay.
20:14 So.
20:14 Getting in on a one-on-one tables match.
20:16 So, let me explain what's going on here.
20:19 So the three people that you vetoed were Kofi Kingston.
20:24 Uh-oh.
20:24 Who's in a rivalry with Walter.
20:26 Yep.
20:26 Yeah.
20:27 My champion.
20:27 Riddle and Mace.
20:32 Okay.
20:33 So Riddle and Mace were also in the tag team.
20:35 In the tag team, yeah.
20:35 Yeah.
20:36 On opposite sides, no less.
20:37 Yes.
20:37 Yeah.
20:37 So I couldn't use any of those guys at all.
20:39 Um, I also, uh, I had an email from, uh, Shayna Baszler.
20:47 Who said she wanted to blow off match with Tony Storm.
20:49 Because Tony Storm did the run-in last week.
20:51 They said, I want that in the next three weeks.
20:52 And I was like, I'll do it this week.
20:53 That's fine.
20:54 I can do that.
20:54 Yeah.
20:55 So initially I booked, initially I booked Walter in the main event.
20:58 And I was like, I don't have anyone for Walter to go up against.
21:01 Because I need it to be Kofi Kingston and I can't use it.
21:03 So instead I moved him.
21:04 You've got so many stars.
21:05 I've got so many stars.
21:07 Um, cause I didn't want him to face Finn Balor.
21:08 He's a he.
21:09 You know?
21:09 Yeah.
21:09 I have a lack of baby face stars, maybe.
21:12 You can make that argument.
21:14 Uh, so we've got Tucker stepping in.
21:16 And also for my commissioner goal, I had to do a run-in on my most popular star.
21:20 Who's Walter.
21:21 So Slapjack's doing the run-in on Walter.
21:24 I was just about to say, why?
21:26 I was like, oh right.
21:26 You're starting a few between Slapjack and Tucker.
21:28 That makes sense.
21:29 And then I was like, no, that's Slapjack on Walter.
21:31 I had to do a run-in on Tucker.
21:32 And I was like, commissioner goal not met.
21:34 I was like, oh, it has to be on Walter.
21:36 Ah, starting a few between Walter and Slapjack.
21:39 So it's what the people want to see.
21:41 So this is, this is going to be, you know when I said smashed it, easy dubs.
21:46 Yeah.
21:46 That was a lie.
21:47 This is going to be a bad week for me.
21:51 I can see that.
21:52 So let's simulate.
21:52 This is a non-title match.
21:54 I'm not risking Tucker beating Walter.
21:57 He wasn't going to win.
21:58 But, but Walter's very good at table matches, as I found out last week.
22:01 So as part of the social media feedback, someone said that Walter's very good at table matches.
22:06 So I booked him in a tables match.
22:07 That's smart.
22:08 So let's simulate.
22:09 Surely it's Walter.
22:11 Okay, thank God.
22:13 I worry that Tucker.
22:15 Oh, it's mediocre.
22:16 Oh, no, that's not good.
22:18 No, that's not good.
22:19 No, it could have been worse, mate.
22:21 No, that's not a good start.
22:23 Ari DiVarro doing a self promo.
22:24 Yep, fill in time.
22:26 Hey, plus two, plus two popularity.
22:29 I did have to book someone on this show.
22:32 I think this was an F.E. from Triple H or something that had,
22:34 no, it was because of a thing I bought,
22:35 that I had to book someone who had less than 50 popularity had to do a promo.
22:40 Right, okay.
22:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:41 So I did that.
22:42 Yeah, yeah, good, good work.
22:43 Dakota Kai, Becky Lynch versus Nadi and Flair.
22:46 Yeah.
22:47 Oh dear, who is that?
22:52 Is that Dakota?
22:53 Yeah, he's got 33 stamina, so possibly getting injured.
22:58 Eesh.
22:59 Let's find out.
22:59 Goof ma goof.
23:03 Okay, Sharper and Nadi win.
23:05 Cool, cool, cool.
23:06 Two and a half star.
23:06 That's a new rivalry.
23:07 That's not what I wanted, but that's okay.
23:09 Yep, cool, cool, cool.
23:11 Advertising promo from Finn Balor.
23:13 Gets you money.
23:14 Didn't realize it lowered the popularity, though.
23:16 Gets you money, mate.
23:17 I really need him to be popular.
23:18 Ah, it's made him.
23:20 It's not good, though, is it?
23:21 $12,000, mate.
23:23 Yeah, but minus three popularity from Balor.
23:26 I really need him to be popular.
23:28 What are your top guys?
23:29 You couldn't have given that to Dov Ari?
23:30 Shayna Baszler versus Tony Storm.
23:32 Hey, look.
23:33 Main event, extreme rules.
23:34 This could be your big main event here.
23:37 Is this the blow-off match?
23:37 This ends the rivalry.
23:39 Well, that's what Shayna wanted, was a rematch with Tony Storm.
23:42 Non-title match once again.
23:43 Oh, he didn't put any title matches in.
23:45 Didn't put any title matches in this one.
23:46 Okay, right, fair enough.
23:47 I felt like Tony didn't earn a title shot yet.
23:50 She wins here, pins the champion, then maybe she's earned a title shot.
23:54 Yeah, I see what you're thinking.
23:55 You see?
23:55 Yeah, yeah.
23:56 Oh no.
23:57 And she has.
24:00 She has, okay.
24:02 Three-star main event.
24:03 This is a bad week for me.
24:04 Well, you never know.
24:05 It could go completely nipples north for me.
24:07 All three of your matches were better than mine.
24:13 Yeah, that worked out well.
24:14 And it didn't quite follow the trend, but you know what?
24:19 You had a similar mid and main.
24:23 Yeah, my main event disappointed me there.
24:25 I thought it'd be a bigger main event, to be honest, that tag match.
24:28 Like four of my biggest stars.
24:29 Right, yeah.
24:30 In a TLC tag.
24:32 I thought that'd be a big one.
24:33 I've actually.
24:33 TLC match every week.
24:34 Yeah, I've put a bit of a risk there because.
24:36 So injuries none for Raw, though rivalries none.
24:40 I am stunned.
24:41 Rivalries none?
24:43 That's what it says.
24:45 But if we switch over to SmackDown.
24:47 Okay, injuries none.
24:50 Midcard outperformed the opener of your show.
24:53 Weak start, confusing pacing.
24:55 Yeah, this could be a good week for me in terms of pulling some fans in after last week.
24:59 I don't like this.
24:59 Here's Raw.
25:00 So there's Raw.
25:01 93,000 fans I'll take.
25:04 Show quality D.
25:04 But that's because we only have certain things like, you know, the show arenas and stuff like that.
25:12 Oh, right.
25:13 Did you move to a new arena?
25:14 Sure did, bud.
25:14 Yeah, I did too.
25:15 I bought all the new things.
25:17 Yeah, same here, which is why I've got a net loss.
25:20 Oh, you lost money?
25:21 I lost money, yeah.
25:21 25 grand there on that thing.
25:23 Rough.
25:23 All right.
25:24 Hell of a show from the social media.
25:25 I like what Edge did in that promo.
25:27 Good to see Raw backing that cause.
25:30 It is a good cause.
25:31 That's nice, yeah.
25:31 Brock Lesnar worked okay as a tag team, I guess.
25:34 Well, they're not meant to be a tag team.
25:35 450, Libre, 90.
25:37 Yeah.
25:37 Really varied show, added to the quality.
25:39 Keep it up, Raw.
25:40 Thanks.
25:40 Brock Lesnar gets payback on Samoa Joe.
25:43 He sure did.
25:43 Love seeing the growing rivalry with Keith Lee and Mustafa Ali get the spotlight on Raw.
25:48 Hey, Raw, is Samoa Joe all right?
25:50 Looks worn out.
25:51 You're giving him time off.
25:52 Raquel, not sure the better superstar won tonight.
25:56 Be seeing you again, Bliss.
25:57 Again?
25:58 Bliss takes the match from Raquel Gonzalez.
26:00 Could have gone either way.
26:00 And Keith Lee, good effort by Mustafa Ali today.
26:04 They say you learn from your defeats more than your victories.
26:06 Yeah.
26:07 Okay.
26:07 That does sound like a thing Keith Lee would say.
26:09 It does.
26:09 Yeah.
26:10 No great feedbacks for me there other than don't put Orton in.
26:14 Orton and Lesnar weren't supposed to be a tag team.
26:16 Well, 93,000 fans.
26:18 93,000 fans.
26:19 That's good.
26:20 I lost money, but I gained nearly 100,000 fans there.
26:22 And I got a contract negotiation thing.
26:26 And rankings won, innit?
26:27 Oh, yes, mate.
26:29 Tasty.
26:30 Love to see it.
26:32 What's happened?
26:33 What's happened?
26:34 Has he lost fans?
26:35 Has he actually lost fans?
26:36 No.
26:38 Ooh.
26:38 Okay, 74.
26:39 Okay, that's not bad.
26:39 That's not bad.
26:40 Not terrible.
26:40 You made a good profit as well.
26:42 A hella profit.
26:43 That's a hella profit, mate.
26:44 It's great.
26:45 Natalia and Charlotte Flair are an incredible tag team.
26:47 Worth noting.
26:48 Toni Storm is perfect for extreme rules matches.
26:50 Put her in another one.
26:51 Worth noting.
26:52 It is worth noting.
26:54 I should have written down some of those that were on mine.
26:56 Well, none of yours have had little markers next to it.
26:58 Mine have got little yellow markers.
27:00 So they're the stuff that you're going to need to remember.
27:02 You know, that's the stuff that pops up.
27:03 Why don't I get that feedback?
27:05 Well, because you suck, innit?
27:06 Yeah, okay.
27:06 Slapjack attacked Walter during the match.
27:08 Things about to get worse.
27:09 Oh, Daivari doing good work on the mic.
27:13 It's like, "Kept the audience entertained."
27:14 Good for Daivari.
27:17 Good for Daivari.
27:18 Nice work, Walter, but you're going to need to step it up against me, says Kofi Kingston.
27:21 Can't wait to have those guys back next week, because all that sucked this week.
27:26 Great to see Walter in another tables match.
27:28 Great match, Shayna Baza.
27:29 Looking forward to stepping into the ring with you again.
27:31 Yeah, well, I'm going next week, isn't it?
27:33 Yeah.
27:33 This guy's been putting in so much work.
27:35 Kind of worried, though.
27:36 She's been looking rough lately.
27:36 No one can accuse SmackDown of repetitive matches this week.
27:39 They mix it up a lot.
27:40 Becky and Coco worked okay as a team.
27:43 Yeah, well, all right.
27:46 All right, okay, so that is...
27:47 Ooh, we've got a...
27:48 Ooh, we've got a...
27:49 ...special effect.
27:49 Okay, cool.
27:52 Nice.
27:52 Nice, that's nice.
27:53 But that does mean...
27:54 Plus 74, so I'm currently second, which means...
27:57 Boom!
27:58 1.8, 1.18 to your 1.16.
28:02 1.64, okay, so I'm, what, 17?
28:06 17,000 behind, just about?
28:09 I can make that up.
28:11 You can make that up.
28:11 I can make that up.
28:12 Got loads of stuff.
28:12 Look how much money I've got.
28:14 You actually ask when you can cash the payments.
28:16 Okay, okay.
28:17 I'm gonna have to come back next week with something strong, I think.
28:20 I need to work out how this game works.
28:25 [LAUGHTER]
28:26 Don't we both?
28:26 Yeah.
28:27 Yeah.
28:28 We'll figure this out.
28:29 Maybe by the end of the series, we'll have figured out how this works.
28:31 I guess that's all we've got time for on this week's episode.
