00:00 [MUSIC]
00:21 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 Monday Night SmackDown.
00:32 We're playing through My GM Mode on WWE 2K22.

00:49 So click that link if you wanna help support this channel.
00:52 >> All right Pete, I am still currently number one.
00:55 I am the number one brand here.
00:57 Not by a huge amount.
00:59 >> No.
00:59 >> It's a very, very small margin.
01:02 And it is the pay-per-view week.
01:04 >> Yeah, which I thought was the week after.
01:08 >> So did I.
01:08 >> Yeah.
01:10 >> And I think you have got a bit of an advantage going into this one,
01:12 because I think you've actually got rivalries.
01:15 Whereas I've just got a bunch of TLC matches that have hurt everyone.
01:20 >> Yeah, that's fair.
01:21 I'm curious about the stamina for this week for both of our shows.
01:25 Cuz I had a big show a couple weeks ago, people still recovering from that.
01:28 So, this is gonna be dicey.
01:31 >> Also, we've got to make note of, I went overtime last week.
01:36 >> You sure did.
01:37 >> Because I ran out of money.
01:38 >> Mm-hm.
01:39 >> Right.
01:40 >> [BLEEP]
01:44 >> Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:46 >> What, you're going overtime?
01:47 >> No, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:49 So I went over by about 48 seconds.
01:53 >> So we're gonna say I'm gonna have a minutes penalty for this episode.
01:56 So rather than the usual seven minutes, I'm gonna have six minutes.
01:59 >> Yes. >> Starting from when we get to
02:00 the emails.
02:00 >> Yes.
02:01 Man.
02:04 Let's do it.
02:04 >> Yeah, let's do it.
02:05 Let's get into it.
02:06 [MUSIC]
02:09 Okay, right, here we go.
02:11 Pressing start now in three, two, one, go.
02:15 Okay, here we go.
02:17 Let's get these emails up.
02:18 I just want to try and show that your opening match and
02:20 your main event are both stronger than the mid-count match.
02:21 All right, Trips, fair enough.
02:23 Yes, boss.
02:27 Put the match you think will have the least raucous crowd reaction in
02:29 the middle of the card.
02:30 All right, then you'll get a chance to respond.
02:32 Hey, Owen.
02:32 Rude.
02:35 You've seen the work I've been putting in, but I know I could do more for
02:37 the brand.
02:38 That's what I do, Keith.
02:41 I'm ready to run a main event match, and I know fans will be excited for it.
02:45 It's gonna mean a lot to me in my career.
02:46 What do you say?
02:48 I'll see to it.
02:49 100% Keith Lee will be the main event.
02:54 A main event match, Keith Lee?
02:57 Why not?
02:58 I think you've earned it.
03:00 You've done really well for the brand.
03:02 I haven't had any matches in a while, and the fans are starting to forget about me.
03:05 You're on the show every, in a week, Reckoning.
03:08 It's time you woke up and put me back where I belong.
03:10 I want to match in the next show.
03:11 I can do that for you.
03:13 Forget about it, Reckoning.
03:14 Forget about it, cuz.
03:16 No, I'm not gonna have you cut promo.
03:18 Sure thing, I want you back in the spotlight.
03:19 I wanted to have her in a match this week anyways.
03:21 That actually works out for me.
03:22 Thanks, about time Rawson, my actual talent in the ring.
03:24 Harsh, harsh but fair.
03:26 Right, okay, well let's try, APU added bonus, lovely.
03:30 I am not gonna change my crew.
03:35 I am not gonna change my pyro.
03:40 The show quality, show quality fans game.
03:44 Do I want to?
03:45 Okay, let's do a cameo appearances and a campaign.
03:48 So that's 55 grand spent already.
03:52 Wonderful, do I have anything I need to do in the journal?
03:55 Okay, so I promised Reckoning a match this week.
03:58 Oh, I've got to do them this week.
04:02 Okay.
04:06 Oh no.
04:11 Man, I promised Keith Lee a main event this week
04:16 and I promised Reckoning a match.
04:17 Oh no, I thought I could do those in a different week.
04:21 Oh, this week?
04:24 Oh, on the pay-per-view week?
04:25 Oh, oops.
04:27 Oh, oops.
04:30 I guess Keith Lee's the main event
04:33 of my (beep) pay-per-view then.
04:35 Double the cost of an opposing brand's matches
04:38 for next week's show.
04:38 That's good, that's good.
04:40 Don't need to fix a match or anything like that.
04:41 Right, okay, well (beep) let's do this bit.
04:44 Right, my main event has got to be a one-on-one match
04:49 and it's got to be now Keith Lee versus Mustafa Ali
04:52 in a tables match, branded pay-per-view bonus.
04:55 Oh, right, because, oh, okay, lovely stuff.
04:57 So that's my, you know, actually, in fairness,
04:59 it's my biggest rivalry, I guess.
05:01 Nothing like that.
05:03 Cool, so save that.
05:05 Oh, I get two mid-card matches.
05:08 Oh, Christmas Day, I've got loads of (beep)
05:10 I need to book.
05:12 Right, okay, oh, that actually might help me out.
05:14 Right, so my open-it is going to be
05:16 Alexa Bliss versus Raquel Gonzalez.
05:20 Oh, I've also got a commissioner goal there.
05:22 They're just gonna have a normal match
05:23 because Alexa is quite beaten up.
05:25 It is a title match, though, so save that.
05:29 Mid-card match is going to be one-on-one
05:35 and it's going to be John Cena versus Randy Orton.
05:40 They've actually got pretty good stamina, so.
05:45 Hmm, I think they'll also have a tables match.
05:50 God, what if I made all the matches table matches?
05:53 We all know the success of TNA Lockdown,
06:00 but what if every match at WrestleMania Backlash
06:03 was a tables match?
06:06 What if I made this also a tables match?
06:10 Oh, Alexa Bliss, you are gonna get so hurt, I think.
06:15 Now, Alexa's had a rough old go of it as of late.
06:18 I've put her in some pretty tough matches.
06:21 I'm sure she'll survive another tables match.
06:24 That's such a mean thing to do,
06:25 but Brock Lesnar's Samoa Joe tables match.
06:30 Title is on the line.
06:33 Sure, I'll put Samoa Joe in a tables match.
06:35 What's the worst that could happen?
06:36 He's gonna win the title.
06:37 I don't think that's gonna happen.
06:39 Promos.
06:40 Okay, so I did have Orton calling out Cena planned,
06:47 so let's instead do, actually, I've got.
06:49 Oh, I promised.
06:54 Okay, right, that's not, it's not gonna be you two.
06:57 Clear, clear, clear, right,
06:59 it's going to be Reckoning versus Bianca Belair
07:01 in a tables match.
07:03 That's absolutely fine.
07:06 So this will be a call-out promo
07:08 of John Cena calling out Randy Orton.
07:12 That's grand, and then what other promos can I do?
07:17 Advertising, energy generates extra revenue
07:19 and a chance of lowering superstar's popularity.
07:21 Charity generates a small bonus of fans for the week.
07:25 A chance of popularity for the.
07:26 Oh, poor brute force.
07:30 Oh, poor brute force.
07:31 Edge can do my charity promo, I think, this week.
07:35 Oh, what, I get another promo slot.
07:37 So what if I do that as an advertising,
07:41 'cause I don't think, oh my God,
07:42 I'm running out of bloody time.
07:44 (beep) off, Pete.
07:46 Looking at my clock.
07:47 Bailey.
07:52 She can also do a charity promo.
07:57 What do I do as an advertising promo?
07:59 Yep, I guess that's what we're doing.
08:03 As I, oh, I got any other feats that I can do or start?
08:06 I've got 30 seconds left.
08:08 Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
08:12 I don't think I do.
08:13 Okay, right, that's fine.
08:18 Optional goal, to book two, level two,
08:21 okay, lovely stuff, I've done that.
08:23 Optional bonus, got optional goal, book one superstar.
08:28 Oh, okay, well, I lucked into a lot of that.
08:30 Right, go, confirm booking.
08:32 (exclaims)
08:36 I had two seconds left on the clock there.
08:41 - Bit tight, was it?
08:41 - I'll be honest, I could have done with the other minute.
08:44 I really could have done with that other minute.
08:47 Just to have checked some stuff.
08:49 - You don't get that luxury when you go over time
08:52 and you can't afford a show.
08:53 - I had no admin time.
08:56 I really could have done with some admin time.
08:58 - Right.
08:59 - Okie dokie, right.
09:01 Pete, what am I gonna listen to for this episode?
09:03 - I don't know.
09:04 - Should I listen to Rush?
09:06 - Sure.
09:07 - Should I listen to a Farewell to Kings?
09:09 - Whatever you wanna do, bud.
09:10 - Do I wanna listen to some Primus?
09:12 - Whatever you're choosing, choose it quickly.
09:14 - It's such a difficult choice to make.
09:17 Let's go with Rush.
09:19 I'm gonna listen to Xanadu, actually, I mean,
09:21 I'm gonna listen to Xanadu by Rush,
09:22 but it's not even gonna fill up, it's a 10 minute song,
09:24 so I'm not even gonna hear the whole song.
09:26 - Yeah, no, you won't.
09:27 - Cool, right.
09:28 Well, have fun, Pete.
09:29 - I will.
09:30 - I hope your show stinks.
09:32 - I hope you stink.
09:33 Seven minutes on the clock, time starts now.
09:40 Let's do these emails.
09:41 Triple H, hey, something's come up
09:42 and I can't have Ari Daivari taking part
09:43 in your show this week.
09:44 That's fine with me, bud.
09:47 He wasn't planned.
09:48 Thanks for rematch against Becky.
09:50 No probs, mate.
09:53 Told you to get those wins this time,
09:54 this will increase the Charlotte players' morale.
09:56 Hey, Quinnell, you've seen the work I've been putting in,
09:59 but I know I can do more for the brand.
10:01 What does that mean, Riddle?
10:05 Ready to run a main event match
10:06 and I know the fans will be excited for it.
10:07 This would mean a lot to me and for my career.
10:09 This is like that one time when my goldfish founder,
10:10 Nicola, named it Philip.
10:11 What do you say?
10:12 I don't wanna do a main event match this week.
10:17 I can give him a main event match, just not now.
10:23 Okay, I can do that.
10:24 A main event match?
10:25 Yeah, sure, sure, Riddle.
10:29 You've been a great asset to the roster, great baby face.
10:32 Yeah, I can give you a main event match, no worries.
10:35 I know I won't let you down,
10:38 but I don't wanna do it this week, you know?
10:41 I don't wanna do it this week.
10:43 Have at least one Tables match this week.
10:45 Yeah, yeah, ain't no thing.
10:49 Don't worry about that, Trips, I got that planned.
10:51 All right, WrestleMania Backlash.
10:52 I'm just gonna spend a load of money, I think, probably.
10:55 I'm gonna book the show first, see how much I'm spending.
10:57 Main event is definitely gonna be Walter versus Kingston,
10:59 and it's gonna be in a Hell in a Cell match for the title.
11:02 What's the stamina looking at?
11:04 52, you're fine, you're fine.
11:06 It's a rivalry throughout four,
11:07 so this is gonna end the rivalry here.
11:09 Hell in a Cell title match on, no interference.
11:12 Let's save that, great main event right there.
11:15 Got three promos as well, hot damn.
11:17 Mid card.
11:19 Open up, we want to be a banger.
11:21 So I'm thinking the best thing I've got after that
11:24 is probably it's gonna be Flair versus Lynch
11:26 in a Tables match.
11:27 Stamina 45.
11:29 It's just about fine.
11:32 That's just about fine, right?
11:34 Yep, mm-hmm.
11:37 Probably gonna get quite hurt after this,
11:42 and we're gonna need some recovery weeks after this,
11:43 but Tables match opener.
11:45 Sounds pretty banging to me, mate.
11:48 Mid card.
11:50 Uh, we can have in the semi main,
11:53 we can have Baszler versus Storm.
11:58 Rivalry two, that's higher than I thought.
12:00 Extreme rules because Storm is good at that.
12:02 Title match on.
12:04 Stamina's 54 and 58.
12:06 Fine, they're fine, they're totally fine.
12:10 Right, so I could open WrestleMania Backlash
12:13 with my women's title.
12:14 Toni Storm, Shayna Baszler.
12:15 Sounds like a big match,
12:16 but just looking at the game statistics,
12:20 the popularity and their star power and things like that,
12:22 I feel like Lynch and Flair is going to be a bigger match.
12:26 So I'm gonna put them in the opener,
12:27 I'm gonna put my faith in the non-title match,
12:29 and I'm gonna have the title match be the semi main.
12:32 That should work, right?
12:35 One more match to go.
12:37 I could do a Balor versus Riddle.
12:39 I could do, yeah, let's do a Balor-Riddle,
12:44 I think would be cool.
12:46 In a TLC match.
12:49 The stamina's fine.
12:51 Few banging matches right there, lads.
12:56 Just throwing that out there.
12:58 We're gonna do a call-out promo
12:59 with Tucker calling out Slapjack.
13:03 Hell yeah, dude.
13:04 Cool, that works.
13:08 Stamina's well high there.
13:10 They're fine, and it's a call-out promo,
13:12 so stamina doesn't matter.
13:15 Who else we got going on?
13:17 Could do a self-promo with Slapjack.
13:21 Yeah.
13:24 Yeah.
13:26 Yeah, let's do that.
13:31 And let's do another small bonus of fans for the week
13:36 with a chance of small popularity boost for the superstar.
13:38 Sure, let's do a cherry promo with Mace.
13:41 Dakota Kai's probably a better fit for that.
13:44 She's a baby face, and also her stamina's low.
13:47 She has a better promo skill.
13:49 Let's do that.
13:49 Okay, so I spent a fair bit, 105,000.
13:53 Holy.
13:54 Okay, backlash, road crew, it cost me 25K.
13:59 I'm gonna run out of money pretty quickly.
14:03 Uh-oh.
14:04 This one 25K as well.
14:08 Oh my God, I'm running out of money.
14:14 I can't afford that, right?
14:16 That's 200.
14:17 How have I run out of money?
14:20 I was the conservative one.
14:22 Oh, I don't care about that.
14:26 Let's just do, I can only afford that.
14:30 How about this one?
14:31 Book superstars, plus one morale.
14:33 I don't care about that.
14:35 Let's make that.
14:36 It doesn't give me any more fans.
14:38 It just increases the show quality.
14:41 Basic lights, basic lights.
14:44 (sighs)
14:46 I've got two minutes.
14:47 Let's go on my power cards
14:49 'cause I wanna look at something.
14:51 Double cost, I'm really annoyed
14:54 that it's the pay-per-view this week.
14:56 So here's the thing, all right?
14:58 I got a really good power card last week
15:00 that doubles the cost of Luke's show.
15:02 And I said I'm gonna play it on the pay-per-view.
15:06 I thought the pay-per-view was next week.
15:09 So I've missed my chance.
15:12 (dramatic music)
15:14 Bollocks.
15:15 Free arena booking.
15:19 That would be actually incredibly helpful.
15:21 Yeah, 'cause that's just saved me 40,000.
15:24 So now I can afford more stuff.
15:27 Yeah, thank you.
15:28 Okay, show logistics.
15:30 So that is now free, which means I can bump this up,
15:34 which gets me more show quality,
15:35 and I can bump this up.
15:36 Amazing.
15:37 Project negotiations, I don't care.
15:40 Veto random superstar, that's what Luke has done to me.
15:43 It's another double cost for 40K, which I can't afford.
15:46 Pre-match physio, reduce the probability
15:48 that a superstar become injured in a match.
15:49 Not a huge deal.
15:50 Tables match, I've done.
15:53 Cool, promised Riddle a main event.
15:57 Oh, it's this week.
15:58 I'm sorry, Riddle.
15:59 I can't give you a main event match this week.
16:01 I apologize.
16:03 Oh, this week?
16:06 On pay-per-view?
16:10 I did just promise you it.
16:12 But I'm not gonna do it.
16:16 (laughs)
16:17 No, I can't do it.
16:18 I'm sure I'll be fine, right?
16:21 He's not gonna like, leave, right?
16:25 I'm gonna save my double cost.
16:28 I'm gonna try and, as soon as Luke has built up
16:31 any amount of money so that he can start
16:33 booking shows properly again,
16:35 I will rinse him for more double cost again.
16:39 And he'll go right back down to zero.
16:41 That's the plan anyway.
16:43 I think I'm good.
16:46 Logistics, I've bashed out the park.
16:50 I'm not gonna send in your free agents or legends.
16:52 My roster is fine.
16:54 Got some banging matches on this show, I think.
16:57 Yeah, let's confirm that booking, shall we?
17:01 20 seconds left to go.
17:06 Confirm booking.
17:07 How was it?
17:09 All done.
17:10 That was a journey.
17:11 Yeah?
17:12 That was a journey.
17:13 There was a few things that I wanted to do that I couldn't.
17:15 I encountered a similar problem that you faced in the past.
17:21 Did you now?
17:22 A little bit, but luckily I spotted it quite early.
17:25 So I had time to rectify it.
17:27 Oh, that's smart.
17:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:30 We'll see, we'll see.
17:32 I really don't know how this is gonna go.
17:35 (dramatic music)
17:37 I had some problematic emails.
17:40 Oh, did you?
17:41 Yeah, problematic is probably a wrong word to use,
17:43 but I had some people asking for matches
17:45 and I didn't wanna book them in matches.
17:46 Yeah.
17:47 And people wanted to be in certain slots
17:48 and I didn't wanna book them in those certain slots.
17:48 Yeah, I also had that.
17:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:51 Yeah, yeah.
17:52 It's a shame.
17:53 And I did it.
17:54 Oh, no, no, okay.
17:55 Right, here we go.
17:57 Okay.
17:58 What happened here, Pete, is.
18:00 17 stamina, Luke.
18:01 So, here's what happened.
18:02 Okay, yeah.
18:03 I was booking my show
18:05 and I think I booked my second
18:07 and my main event as tables matches.
18:10 Right.
18:11 And all of a sudden it came up, it was like,
18:12 pay-per-view bonus.
18:13 Uh-huh.
18:14 And I was like, oh, sweet.
18:15 And then I was like, what if every match
18:17 was a tables match?
18:18 (laughing)
18:20 I saw that, but I did not think that.
18:25 Because I had them in a regular match,
18:27 I was like, oh, Alexa Bliss is tired.
18:28 And I was like, but now she's gonna get
18:29 to a tables match.
18:30 (laughing)
18:31 She's gonna die.
18:32 Title is on the line.
18:34 Oh, no.
18:35 It's Alexa Bliss.
18:37 She remains champion in a four star.
18:40 How is this?
18:41 She's injured.
18:42 She's injured.
18:43 Oh, I know, but look.
18:44 She's injured.
18:45 She's injured now,
18:46 but also how's that only a level one rivalry?
18:48 New rivalry, Bliss and Gonzalez.
18:50 How?
18:51 (laughing)
18:52 How, game?
18:53 They've had 20 matches
18:55 since I started this (beep) series.
18:57 It's not gone well for Luke there, is it?
19:01 No, poor Alexa Bliss.
19:02 My champ is injured.
19:03 Your champ is injured.
19:04 What do I do there?
19:04 Do I get to just take the belt off of her?
19:06 I guess we'll find out next week.
19:06 We'll find out.
19:08 Whoops.
19:08 (laughing)
19:10 Whoops.
19:11 Yeah, yeah.
19:14 I probably should have seen that,
19:15 that Alexa Bliss.
19:16 Yeah, maybe putting her in a tables match
19:17 wasn't the best idea.
19:19 I got a John Cena.
19:21 Cool, cool.
19:22 Three out of four.
19:23 I know, right?
19:24 Excellent promo.
19:25 That's grown up to a three out of four now.
19:27 Nice.
19:28 Perfect timing.
19:29 Four weeks out from the next pay-per-view.
19:30 Yep, makes sense.
19:31 Here we go.
19:32 Reckoning versus Bianca Belair.
19:33 Of course it's a tables match.
19:35 Of course, yeah, that makes sense.
19:36 Mia Yim wanted a match this week.
19:39 And she got the match and she got a win as well
19:41 in a great match.
19:42 You're a star.
19:43 Three victories.
19:44 I need to put the belt on these two.
19:46 Yeah, far away.
19:47 Cool, so that's Grand Edge.
19:49 With a charity.
19:51 His stamina's 96.
19:52 Book him in a match, Luke.
19:53 I haven't got any feuds for him.
19:56 And it's excellent and it gained me 5,000 fans.
19:58 And that is why I put Edge into that position
20:00 because he's got them good promo skills.
20:03 For sure.
20:04 So that worked out well for me.
20:05 Tables match, Joe versus Lesnar.
20:08 Joe is also a little bit hurt-y, so.
20:10 Come on, Brock, come on, Brock.
20:11 Oh my God.
20:12 Oh my God, new WWE champion.
20:15 And he's injured!
20:16 He's injured!
20:17 Yes!
20:18 You love to see it.
20:20 Still a good match.
20:21 You're an all-star.
20:22 You're an all-star match, mate.
20:23 Wish it was my (beep) main event.
20:25 (laughing)
20:25 (beep) Keith Lee.
20:27 Oh, Joseph.
20:29 I'm so sorry.
20:31 Ah, (beep) he won the title.
20:34 (beep)
20:36 Bayley with an advertising promo.
20:37 Yep.
20:38 Oh, minus nine popularity, Luke.
20:41 It's a weak promo.
20:43 You had three out of five.
20:45 Weak promo.
20:46 Probably 'cause I did two advertising promos.
20:47 That is 10, got you 10,000.
20:50 Is that 10,000 worth it?
20:51 I haven't, I've got the--
20:52 A minus nine popularity?
20:53 I'll be honest with you,
20:54 I'll be honest with you,
20:55 I was gonna release it next week.
20:55 Oh my God.
20:56 That probably is fine.
20:57 This guy.
20:59 And here's my main event.
21:00 It is a tables match.
21:02 I'm hoping for a big one here.
21:03 I mean, it's not gonna be a five-star match, is it?
21:05 But Keith Lee picks up the win in the main event.
21:08 It's what he wanted.
21:09 It's a four-star main event.
21:10 It's a pretty good show, though.
21:11 That is a really banging good show.
21:13 Two massive injuries to both of my champs.
21:16 To both your champs.
21:17 (laughing)
21:19 Jesus Christmas Day.
21:21 Whoops.
21:21 Oops.
21:23 Still, good show, lads.
21:24 Not bad, not bad.
21:25 Well done, team.
21:26 Let's see what SmackDown's got to offer.
21:26 I'm proud of you.
21:28 Starting off with the tables match.
21:29 Becky Lynch versus Charlotte Flair.
21:30 Hot opener.
21:31 Big grudge match.
21:32 My stamina's, a lot of them are in the 40s and 50s,
21:34 so they're just over that threshold to get injured,
21:37 which is great.
21:38 Gonna be hurting next week, but that's fine.
21:41 That's pay-per-view.
21:42 It's pay-per-view.
21:43 Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, big opener.
21:45 And Becky Lynch gets the win.
21:47 Lovely stuff.
21:48 And it's a what?
21:49 (laughing)
21:52 Hot opener there, Peter.
21:53 Hot opener.
21:57 But why, though?
21:58 They had a rivalry.
22:01 Becky Lynch's popularity's like the highest on my roster.
22:05 Yeah.
22:06 Hot opener, Pete.
22:09 Good start, mate.
22:09 Okay.
22:10 Five grand well spent.
22:11 What the (beep) was that?
22:13 Why did, Becky Lynch versus Charlotte Flair?
22:17 Why'd they put it on better matches?
22:19 That's bull (beep)
22:21 It's a co-ed guy who's doing a charity promo.
22:23 Uh-huh, yep.
22:24 'Cause, you know.
22:25 That's good, 5,000 fans.
22:26 5,000 fans.
22:26 Love it.
22:27 Not bad, mate.
22:28 Love to see it.
22:29 Love to see it.
22:30 Exactly what you got, so it cancels each other out,
22:31 essentially.
22:31 That's all right.
22:32 Then we got, okay.
22:33 Okay, we're on TLC, mate.
22:36 Riddle wanted a main event match.
22:37 And I was like, "Riddle."
22:38 And you didn't give it to him.
22:39 I was like, "Riddle, I said I would as well."
22:42 Oh, Pete.
22:43 I know, because, okay.
22:44 Look at this guy.
22:45 No, no, no, no, no.
22:46 Sitting on his high horse over there being like,
22:48 "Oh, look at you over here."
22:49 This one.
22:50 Don't even, don't even.
22:51 Because Riddle said, "I want a main event match."
22:53 And I was like, "I can give you a main event match.
22:55 "Just not this week."
22:56 Oh yeah, I had the same deal with Kingsley.
22:57 And I was like, "Oh, what, you want it this week?"
22:59 Yeah, because he didn't say that.
23:01 Because he just said, "I want a main event match."
23:02 I was like, "Yeah, I can do that.
23:03 "Yeah, totally."
23:04 And then I looked at the thing and it was like,
23:05 "You promised a Riddle main event match this week."
23:07 I was like, "Oh, no."
23:09 I did the exact same thing with Kingsley.
23:11 The whole thing was like, "Oh, cool.
23:12 "I can do that next week.
23:13 "I can do that on Raw."
23:15 Nope.
23:16 That's not how it works.
23:16 All right, so TLC match, battle, and Riddle, though.
23:19 They're in a rivalry, I think.
23:21 Let's see.
23:22 Apparently, maybe.
23:23 Yeah.
23:24 And Riddle gets the win.
23:26 Nice.
23:27 I thought it was the main event.
23:28 Four stars?
23:28 Four stars?
23:29 Could have been your main event, mate.
23:34 Yeah, Jesus.
23:36 All right.
23:36 And your rivalry grows.
23:38 Yeah.
23:39 The rivalry grows.
23:40 Slapjack's doing a self promo.
23:41 One of the most popular guys on my roster.
23:43 I know, he's gonna be more popular
23:44 than your top of the line champion.
23:47 Oh, okay.
23:48 You know.
23:49 That's okay.
23:49 Slappers.
23:50 Slappers, what happened, mate?
23:53 I think his pro mobility's like two.
23:55 So, you know.
23:56 It wasn't bad.
23:58 I mean, do you know what?
23:59 Bailey was three.
24:01 Look what happened there.
24:02 So nice.
24:03 All right, in our semi main event.
24:04 Semi main event.
24:05 Is what I'm calling it.
24:06 Extreme rules match between Shane O'Bazer and Tony Storm
24:07 for the title, Extreme Rules.
24:09 Tony Storm's good in extreme rules matches, so I'm told.
24:12 Okay.
24:13 So hopefully, this should aid
24:14 and make this match even better.
24:16 New champ.
24:17 Tony Storm, new champ.
24:18 New champion.
24:18 Tony Storm in a four star amazing match.
24:21 Lovely.
24:22 Level three rivalry as well.
24:23 Love to see it.
24:24 That's good stuff right there.
24:25 Oh, here he is.
24:26 Tucker calling out subject.
24:27 That rivalry is heating up.
24:29 Look at that popularity, mate.
24:32 63-64.
24:33 I'm building the stars of the future right here.
24:35 And that rivalry.
24:36 Excellent promo.
24:37 Rivalry grows to level three.
24:38 Rivalry rose.
24:39 That rivalry rose.
24:41 And the main event,
24:42 Walter versus Kofi Kingston.
24:43 Hell in a cell.
24:44 They are actually hotter than your number one contender.
24:48 Yeah.
24:48 Tucker, Tucker, Tucker.
24:53 Universal champion.
24:55 Hell in a cell match.
24:56 Walter Kofi Kingston.
24:56 They're in a rivalry at level three already.
25:00 So this should, I believe,
25:01 if I remember the game mechanics correctly,
25:03 this should blow off the feud.
25:04 This should end the rivalry.
25:05 Really?
25:06 With a big match at a pay-per-view.
25:07 Oh, okay.
25:08 I think anyway.
25:10 Let's find out if that's true.
25:11 Let's find out.
25:12 One, two, three.
25:13 It's Kofi Kingston, new champion.
25:16 In a four and a half star main event.
25:17 Rivalry complete.
25:19 Wow, did you look at that?
25:20 Wow.
25:21 Rivalry romplete.
25:22 So now Kofi Kingston is not,
25:25 they're not more popular than Kofi Kingston
25:27 'cause Kingston's the champ.
25:28 Wow.
25:29 So now we're gonna have to try
25:30 and figure that out from there.
25:31 Okay, here's the show.
25:32 Oh my God.
25:33 Oh man.
25:34 This is gonna be, okay.
25:35 So poor finale.
25:37 Yeah, well, Keith Lee gave me no option.
25:40 I can't let down Keith.
25:41 Yeah.
25:42 Of all the people in my roster,
25:43 I cannot let down Keith.
25:45 So your main event.
25:46 Alexa Bliss is out for three weeks.
25:50 That's a bit of a shame.
25:50 Yeah.
25:51 I mean, having said that,
25:52 it's a level one feud apparently.
25:55 I mean, if it was a level three feud,
25:57 I'd be more than bothered.
25:58 But this is a new feud.
25:59 I can (beep) that off anytime I want.
26:01 Your main event match was overshadowed
26:02 by a more entertaining second mid-card match,
26:04 leaving fans disappointed at the end.
26:06 Swapping these are,
26:07 well, I would have loved to swap around, game,
26:09 but you told me I frigging had to put him
26:11 in the main event.
26:12 Assholes.
26:13 Okay.
26:15 Lovely stuff.
26:17 Level three, lovely stuff.
26:19 Smojo's out for two weeks.
26:21 Only two weeks?
26:21 That's actually not bad.
26:22 That's not bad at all.
26:23 It could have been much worse.
26:25 And then my main event here,
26:26 that brings us to level three.
26:27 You're only level three, nice.
26:28 Okay, that's not-
26:29 I think this is gonna be close, you know?
26:31 This is gonna be close.
26:32 Yeah.
26:32 Poor opening.
26:33 (laughing)
26:34 Oh yeah, wouldn't it just?
26:36 I'm let down by Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
26:38 Who'd have thunk it?
26:40 First mid-card out before the opener,
26:41 creating a weak start and confusing pacing,
26:42 swapping these two match-up with creators
26:43 from the start of your pay-per-view.
26:45 I know that now.
26:46 I did think,
26:47 why didn't you have your title match as your opener?
26:49 I didn't think,
26:50 'cause Tony Storm's popularity isn't that high.
26:52 Right.
26:53 Shayna Baszler would kind of carry that.
26:54 And I was like,
26:54 I think Tony Storm might like drag down the feud somewhat.
26:58 So I thought that was,
26:59 it was worthy of a mid-card slot,
27:00 but not the opener.
27:01 Whereas I thought both of them are real popular
27:03 and they're in a feud.
27:04 I was like, ah, it's a banger.
27:06 It got some more rivalries there.
27:07 Took a slapjack level three,
27:08 Baszler's still on level three
27:09 and rivalry complete between Walter and the COVID-19.
27:12 What a feud it was.
27:14 Ending with Kofi Kingston overcoming all the odds
27:16 and beating Walter for the title.
27:18 You love to see that.
27:19 That's a really great story there for Smackers.
27:21 I am now in a position there
27:22 where I've got quite a few level three rivalries.
27:24 I'm four weeks out from a pay-per-view.
27:26 That is true.
27:27 I might just have to blow them off on Raw,
27:28 I suppose.
27:28 I don't know if you can.
27:29 I think you have to blow them off on pay-per-view.
27:31 You have to.
27:31 I think so.
27:32 I can't remember.
27:34 So let's see how this impacted the fans.
27:37 Okay.
27:37 Right, here we go.
27:38 Joe is such a natural talent at tables.
27:40 Okay, that's good to see.
27:41 Let's get Joe in tables matches.
27:42 Let's see 200,000 fans.
27:44 Oh my God!
27:45 194,000 fans?
27:46 Almost.
27:48 200,000 new fans.
27:50 Anna made a whopping load of profit there as well.
27:52 154,000.
27:54 Hot damn.
27:55 Hot damn, that was good.
27:57 Walking Wounded out there tonight.
27:58 Yeah, that's right, heart follower.
28:01 Loved tonight's Raw.
28:03 It's the pay-per-view, badass fan 2000.
28:05 Get yourself in the right.
28:06 Yep.
28:08 Oh yeah, Mustafa Ali turned about,
28:09 learned about consequences.
28:10 Nice.
28:11 Self-promo by Badass Knights.
28:13 Oh, sellout promo, sorry.
28:15 Yeah.
28:16 Makes sense.
28:17 Yeah, that's absolutely right.
28:18 Great to see Keith Lee
28:19 in another tables match.
28:20 Keep him coming.
28:20 Tonight's Raw was so much better than last week.
28:23 And last week, I was a,
28:25 you know, I did really well out last week.
28:27 This next one's very interesting.
28:28 Yo Raw, know who deserves to be a champion
28:30 around his weight?
28:31 Lee.
28:32 Keith Lee, they won a main event push.
28:34 Main event Keith Lee.
28:35 Keith Lee versus Samoa Joe is your main event program.
28:39 That's not bad.
28:40 They're both (beep) faces though.
28:42 You should probably turn one of them then.
28:43 Well, maybe I will.
28:44 Wonderful, grand stuff.
28:49 All right, Hellspa, three, lovely, and?
28:52 And, and, and.
28:53 Breaking two, yes!
28:54 Oh, yes!
28:55 (cheering)
28:57 Damn it.
28:58 Come on.
28:58 Damn it, Keith.
29:00 Oh, you love to see it.
29:01 Damn it.
29:02 All right.
29:03 Yes.
29:04 1.5 mil.
29:05 Dang it.
29:06 All right, how much did you have?
29:07 You got 194,000 fans and I still beat you.
29:09 I know.
29:10 How much did you beat me by?
29:11 Oh my God, let's find out.
29:13 Okay, here we go.
29:15 208,000 fans.
29:17 Wasn't by much.
29:18 It wasn't by much.
29:20 And I got 72,000.
29:21 Not as much money as you, but you know, 72,000 profit.
29:24 Nice, nice.
29:25 Okay, solid.
29:27 My show quality was a B as opposed to your D.
29:30 Was mine a show D?
29:30 It was.
29:31 With that all time classic match.
29:33 Show quality is like your pyro, your arena.
29:36 That's not what I think.
29:37 Oh, yeah, I didn't spend any money on that.
29:38 Whereas the match card quality is your matches.
29:41 Yeah, I didn't spend any money on that.
29:42 Cool, that's good.
29:44 Nice.
29:45 Yeah, love it.
29:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:47 Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
29:48 In your figure for TLC, great Smackdown tonight.
29:51 Good matches.
29:52 Nice.
29:53 Slapjack took all the airtime
29:54 yammering away on the mic tonight, said Tucker.
29:57 Smackdown picked the wrong fight for the first match.
30:00 Tony Storm versus Shayna should have been the opener.
30:03 Yeah, Queen's not mega.
30:04 She's got a point.
30:05 Someone on Smackdown must really like Kingston
30:07 on almost every week.
30:09 Wow, wow.
30:12 How dare you talk about your new champion that way?
30:15 Riddle winning a match, the losing streak is over.
30:18 Oh, he's even losing streak, isn't he?
30:20 Apparently.
30:21 I liked what Dakota did in that promo.
30:23 Good to see Smackdown back in that cause.
30:24 He's sitting in a promo by Slapjack tonight.
30:26 Great to see Tony Storm in another Extreme Rules match.
30:28 Keep him coming.
30:29 Yes.
30:30 I love watching Walter fight, but he's looking tired.
30:32 Is Smackdown going to run him into the ground
30:33 until his bones break?
30:34 No, because the rivalry's done
30:35 and he doesn't have the title anymore.
30:37 So I can have him do some other stuff.
30:38 Also, he's not on Raw
30:39 and that's what we do over on the Red Brick.
30:40 Exactly, yes.
30:42 All right, switch version.
30:44 Cool, love it.
30:45 And ranking number one.
30:47 Man, that is close though.
30:49 Look at that.
30:50 You love to see it.
30:50 That is close.
30:52 Which means now I'm ahead by 4,000 fans.
30:56 (groaning)
30:58 If you hadn't have done that promo
31:00 that got you to 5,000, that canceled it out.
31:02 Dang, I would have won the week.
31:04 Oh, look at my two injured champions.
31:06 Oh man.
31:07 Look how sad they look.
31:08 I'm so curious as to what you're going to do from here.
31:10 I honestly don't know.
31:11 I don't know what happens at this point.
31:12 All your champions injured, less fans.
31:14 You've got a bit more money than me.
31:15 I sure do.
31:16 Which is, you know, that's interesting.
31:18 It is Pete, because you keep going,
31:19 "I've been a conservative,
31:20 "oh, I've been the conservative one, me, Pet.
31:23 "I'm not spending all my money.
31:25 "Not like that there, look.
31:26 "Spending all of it.
31:27 "More money than you, mate."
31:28 Mm-hmm.
31:29 With major champions.
31:30 Those advertising promos that cost you nine popularity
31:33 on Bailey, of all people.
31:35 Yeah, sorry, she's getting the boot next week.
31:38 What a pay-per-view WrestleMania backlash.
31:42 Your boy, Chopper Pete is number one,
31:45 once again, right where I should be.
31:47 And now, now that we got over all the shenanigans
31:50 with Luke's power cards, and for some reason,
31:53 my better show is not being better shows than Luke's,
31:57 now we can capitalize on this momentum,
31:59 and we are going to be number one
32:01 for the rest of this series.
32:03 Look, all right, I didn't win this week.
32:06 The streak is over, Pete is number one,
32:08 but there's another pay-per-view coming up.
32:10 I'll get you, Pete,
32:12 because at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs,
32:15 your time is up.
32:17 (dramatic music)
32:19 What a successful pay-per-view.
32:22 What a successful pay-per-view.
32:24 It was, I think for both brands,
32:25 but you saw more than me.
32:27 It was a great show.
32:28 Just about.
32:29 It was a great show.
32:30 Keith Lehman.
32:31 I'm curious to see what Riddle thinks
32:32 about not being in the main event.
32:33 - (beep) Keith Lee, dog, he (beep) me over.
32:36 (laughing)
32:39 And do you know what?
32:40 I'm blaming him even though I said I would do it.
32:42 - Yeah.
32:43 - It is his fault, not mine.
32:45 - I'm curious whether Riddle's just gonna be like,
32:48 "I wanna leave now and fall out for next week,"
32:51 or whether he's just gonna be like, "I'm grumpy."
32:53 (laughing)
32:54 'Cause that'll be fine.
32:55 - His morale dipped.
32:56 - Yeah, I can deal with that,
32:58 but him being like, "Okay, I want out, that'll be bad."
33:01 And you've got your injured champion,
33:02 so we've both got a successful week,
33:03 but now we've both got things to carry over into next week.
33:06 - There's so much that's gonna happen in next week's show.
33:08 - Oh, God. - I've got absolutely no idea.
33:09 So you will need to tune in next week
33:11 and find out the fallout of WrestleMania backlash.
33:16 Pete, you are currently numero uno,
33:19 but I have got some injured champions
33:21 that I'm sure will turn the tide.
33:23 Tune in next week to find out what happens
33:26 on the Monday Night War.
