00:00 [MUSIC]
00:25 Welcome to the Monday Night War. I am Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
00:31 I am Chopper P. Quinnell, representing Monday Night Smackdown, and we are playing through
00:35 My GM Mode on WWE 2K22.

00:57 at Part Fun Known. Thank you to 2K for sponsoring this video.
01:01 Now, Pete, you are currently ranked number one.
01:04 Got 90,000 fans last week.
01:06 You did. A real big week for Pete Quinnell. Very smart power playing, power card playing.
01:11 Love to see it.
01:12 So, I am...
01:14 You've got a lot of ground to make up.
01:16 I've got a lot of ground to make up, but do you know what the thing I'm most interested
01:19 in is seeing what Bianca Belair is going to say after I ran in on her match last week?
01:26 Oh, the heel sunglasses are on now.
01:29 Yeah, but I can't do it during the booking because I can't see the CB.
01:31 Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
01:32 Oh, no.
01:33 GM interference at the request of the dastardly heel Mia Yim.
01:38 Yeah, okay. Yep.
01:39 So, simulate.
01:40 Let's see how this goes.
01:41 Simulate.
01:42 With the GM interference, Bianca Belair still gets the win!
01:46 Oh, man. So, yeah, I'm so curious.
01:50 How's mine?
01:51 I don't even know why I did it.
01:53 Bit of fun, innit?
01:54 Bit of fun, anyway.
01:55 [Laughter]
01:56 Has there ever been a good-faced GM apart from Mick Foley in 2000?
02:00 William Regal.
02:01 Oh, yeah, in NXT. Yeah.
02:03 Could have been Willie Riggs.
02:05 War Games.
02:06 Could have been William Regal.
02:08 William Regal.
02:09 All right, get your headphones on.
02:10 Let's do this.
02:11 [Drum roll]
02:14 Okay, ready?
02:16 Three, two, one, go.
02:18 Here we go.
02:20 Kansas City.
02:21 Okay, there's three weeks.
02:22 Oh, it's TLC.
02:23 Hey, listen, something's come up, and all special matches will cost double this week.
02:27 I'm told this is some kind of union thing.
02:29 Sorry about that.
02:30 It's fine.
02:31 I don't think I had actually planned--
02:33 Oh, I was going to do an Extreme Rules match.
02:36 I told you, Fawcett, I really hit it off as a tag team last week.
02:38 Thanks for pairing us up.
02:39 We're looking forward to the next tag match.
02:41 That might be--
02:43 Oh, your popularity is real good, Mr. Farrelly.
02:45 There may be something in that, Ali.
02:48 Let me tell thee.
02:50 Okay, that's cool.
02:51 Thank you, Ali.
02:52 Here we go, Bianca Belair.
02:54 Uh, Bianca Belair's emailed me.
02:57 I'm sure she's got many thoughts about my nefarious heel turn last week.
03:02 [Evil laughter]
03:04 The crowd still loved us, even though we didn't get the win.
03:06 Brute and I can definitely shake up the tag team vision with another chance,
03:09 and the fans can't wait to see our next tag team match.
03:11 I've certainly had worse bosses.
03:12 Small increase to Mr. Farrelly's morale.
03:14 Well, someone whose morale is not good.
03:16 Whoa, I did not see that coming.
03:18 Thanks for showing up and having my back, Luke Owen.
03:20 I won't forget it.
03:22 Did I get to respond?
03:24 I feel like I'm on a roll this season of Raw.
03:28 Small increase?
03:34 All right.
03:36 Cool. That's grand.
03:40 Morale went up.
03:42 Ah!
03:44 Okay.
03:47 Veteran Lights, 3D effects, and Pyro.
03:49 Oh.
03:51 So, let's go into the Thunderdome.
03:55 Oh.
03:56 Oh, wow, I haven't purchased any of these.
04:00 I'm going to skip. I'm just going to purchase this one.
04:02 And then select it.
04:04 I've learned that.
04:06 Oh, I haven't -- crikey.
04:08 I've done all of these weeks. I haven't purchased any of this.
04:11 All right. Well, let's have that as well.
04:14 That's also available for purchase.
04:15 Superstar Signings.
04:17 No frigging wonder P's beating me all the smegging time.
04:20 I haven't bought any of this [bleep]
04:22 Why didn't anyone tell me that I've not been upgrading my show at all
04:26 for like the last five or so weeks?
04:29 Why didn't anyone tell me in the comments?
04:33 App it with App Mate. Spent a load of money there.
04:36 Block an opposing brand from booking their most popular superstar next week's show.
04:39 That's big.
04:41 Reduce injury time for one superstar by one week.
04:44 That would also be good.
04:46 Or I could do it for two weeks.
04:48 Okay, also great. That's grand.
04:50 [Bleep] you, Pete.
04:52 Promise reckoning you'd interfere in a match on --
04:55 Oh!
04:59 I think I ran in on Bel-Air.
05:02 I ran in for Bel-Air.
05:05 And that's why I think -- right, okay, cool.
05:08 In which case I need to -- okay.
05:10 This week I'll turn heel.
05:13 Yeah, it turns out I did the GM thing wrong.
05:15 I ran in and I helped Bianca Bel-Air.
05:17 I didn't help reckoning at all.
05:18 So, um, it's a good tip for you all if you're playing this at home.
05:22 Wish someone had told me in the comments.
05:26 Commissioner Goldschedler running on your most popular available star this week.
05:30 I don't know who my most available star is.
05:32 My most popularity -- well, can't do that one either because it's [bleep] Alexa Bliss, isn't it?
05:37 Because she's injured.
05:39 Right, now if I click into these people, does it tell me --
05:44 I still don't know where I find out about rivalries.
05:50 Oh, no, it's there. Rivalry 2.
05:52 Okay, so they're on 2.
05:54 He's on 3.
05:56 He's on 3 with Orton.
05:58 He's on 4. That's fine.
06:02 Level 4 rivalries can only end at a pay-per-view.
06:04 So, I'm trying not to book big conclusions then.
06:06 If you let a level 4 rivalry carry on for too long, fans may get tired of it.
06:10 Okie-cokie.
06:12 What's Raquel in? Week 1 with Bliss.
06:14 I have no idea why that didn't work.
06:16 Marley's in a 3 with Lee.
06:19 Brute Force is in none. That's fine.
06:21 Edge is in none.
06:23 Orton is in a 3 with Sina.
06:26 Right, okay, so.
06:28 I don't want to do Yim vs Belair this week then, because that will grow the rivalry.
06:32 So instead we will do --
06:35 Okay, let's book a show, shall we?
06:38 So, um.
06:40 Oh my god, I haven't thought of anything I want to do.
06:42 Okay, I was thinking I was going to do Edge vs Orton this week.
06:44 Uh.
06:46 Because, Edge --
06:48 Is that right?
06:50 Edge vs Randy.
06:53 Orton. Normal match.
06:55 That's fine, I don't know if that's a commissioner goal.
06:57 My opener is going to be --
07:02 If I do Bianca Belair vs Bailey.
07:10 It's going to have to be, isn't it?
07:12 Because that's face vs heel, normal match.
07:14 No interference there.
07:16 Um.
07:17 I know she wants an extreme rules match.
07:19 Uh.
07:21 40,000.
07:23 See, what Luke doesn't know is that last week I played the double cost power card on him.
07:28 Which means that all of his matches this week are going to be double the price.
07:33 He was just getting some money behind him, but now, after this week, he's going to have nothing left.
07:38 Maybe I'll do that next week.
07:41 I'll do that next week.
07:43 Something tells me I'm really supposed to do Bianca Belair in an extreme rules match.
07:49 But I don't know what's telling me to do that.
07:54 Also, I don't know if I can afford it or afford her stamina.
07:57 So it's a regular normal match for her.
08:01 Or it could just not affect his show at all.
08:06 Why is it whenever Luke plays power cards it completely screws over my show?
08:10 I play the big double cost power card and it does nothing.
08:13 What's happening?
08:15 And my mid card match.
08:19 Now, I was going to see if there's another giant I can get.
08:25 Giant, giant, giant, giant, giant.
08:27 Brawn. I want to bring in Olaf and team him with Lee against Ali.
08:36 Um. That's not really what I wanted to do.
08:40 But if I do a one on one match and do Brock Lesnar versus Christopher Ali as my normal experience.
08:52 And have Keith Lee running on Ali.
08:58 Maybe I'll do that.
09:00 Yeah.
09:01 Oh no, no, no, no. What I had done is I had.
09:04 Nope. Delete, delete. I had.
09:06 Just look at your notes mate. Just look at your notes.
09:10 I have Keith Lee versus brute force as my mid match.
09:14 There we go with a run in by Mustafa Ali on Keith Lee.
09:18 There we go. Lovely stuff.
09:20 Okay. Call out Brock on Joe.
09:25 And then this one here is a call out Cena on Orton.
09:32 Oh my god, I've only got a minute left.
09:34 At least I've got the show booked. That's fine.
09:36 Let's go look at these power cards.
09:38 So if I can get this one.
09:41 Um. Injury rehab.
09:44 I can bring back Alexa Bliss confirm.
09:47 Lovely. And then I'm also going to get that one.
09:52 And I think I am going to buy that now.
09:58 Show cost. I have not run out of money. So that is okay.
10:02 I think that is all good. I've got an optional bonus there.
10:05 I didn't do any of the other ones.
10:07 Lovely stuff.
10:09 That is a show booked on the fly.
10:12 And I'm very pleased with it.
10:15 All done. All done. All sorted.
10:17 How was it?
10:19 I will tell you something.
10:22 When we get to the actual next portion of this.
10:26 Oh, have I got something to tell you.
10:29 Okay. That sounds ominous.
10:32 Only, yeah. I made an error last week.
10:36 And it's an error that I think will be pointed out massively in the comments of last week's video.
10:44 Which we're not going to see for a while.
10:46 We're not going to see for ages yet.
10:48 But I now know that people are going to be very mad at me about last week's video.
10:52 Because I have made a catastrophic error in one of my things that I did.
10:56 I really want to know what it is.
10:57 I will tell you about it when we get to the main show.
10:59 Okay. That makes me very happy.
11:01 Oh yeah. That's great.
11:03 I don't think it's a catastrophic error.
11:05 It's just like, I think if you're a week's a week viewer of my show, it makes no sense.
11:08 Cool. Love it.
11:10 Let me just put my headphones in and you can go.
11:12 Also, another week of just booking on the fly, mate.
11:14 Mate, I've got pretty much my whole show planned. Ready to go.
11:19 I mean, I did have a couple of things written down.
11:23 And then I forgot to look at my notepad.
11:26 And then I was booking a match.
11:27 I was like, this is a sh*tty match.
11:28 Oh, I have a better one written down.
11:30 Oh, we actually planned this.
11:32 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
11:33 So we're still number one, which is great.
11:38 After last week, that's great.
11:39 We're still hanging in there, which is great.
11:41 But I've got an interesting plan here.
11:43 I've got an interesting plan now.
11:44 Because I need to give Charlotte Flair a title shot that she asked for before.
11:48 And what I want to do is continue both of the rivalries I've got going with Shana Baszler and Toni Storm.
11:53 And Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
11:54 So I want to give Becky a title match against Shana.
11:57 I want to have Becky win that match.
11:59 And then I can continue the women's feud between Becky and Charlotte for the title.
12:04 And then I can continue Baszler and Storm, not for the title.
12:07 And that should satisfy everyone's needs.
12:10 So that's what I'm going to try and do this week.
12:13 Right, here we go. And in three, two, one.
12:16 Right. Make sure to mention superstars who pair well against each other.
12:19 Stylified, Tavares versus Balamb.
12:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.
12:22 I know. Triple H. Remember the Giants?
12:24 Yeah, yeah. I'm putting a bit of this.
12:26 I can't use other pairings.
12:28 Keep your best matchup in mind. Yes.
12:30 Okay. Thank you, Shana Baszler.
12:31 I'm not feeling physically 100%.
12:32 I don't mind pain, but I don't want a serious injury.
12:34 That's fine.
12:37 Is it okay to say?
12:38 Two weeks?!
12:41 No.
12:43 That's not okay.
12:46 Oh.
12:59 I really need you to drop the title.
13:01 I've literally got this, this, this thing planned out.
13:05 No, it's not okay if you take two weeks off.
13:10 We have work to do. Sorry.
13:12 No, I can't.
13:14 So it's not important to you that your stars might get injured.
13:17 This isn't what I've come to expect from you.
13:20 You know what? That's fine. That's fine. That's fine.
13:23 Like Shana's morale has gone down, but it's fine.
13:27 We've got that out of the way.
13:28 I can still do my plan.
13:29 Shana's not gonna be happy about it, but at least I can still do my plan.
13:34 I'm not happy about losing my championship last week as a former champion.
13:36 I'm in X-Man rematch. I want to challenge you match against Shana.
13:39 Nobody else better get a title shot before me.
13:40 Oh, come on, Tony.
13:43 Why you got to ruin all my plans, man?
13:46 Oh, this is okay.
13:49 So my plans, just so you're all aware, was I was going to have Becky Lynch versus Shana Baszler on this show.
13:55 I wanted Becky to win so that I can give a shot to Charlotte Flair.
13:58 It'll be Becky versus Charlotte for the title and continue the beta versus storm feud without the title.
14:02 And now Baszler said she doesn't want to wrestle.
14:04 And Tony's saying that she doesn't want anyone else to get a title shot before her.
14:08 I don't want all my superstars to hate me because Riddle already hates me.
14:14 Sorry, Tony, that's not my plans.
14:18 Remember that championship on the match? You're going to deny me my rematch.
14:20 You'd impress me as a boss about this is a little disappointing.
14:22 I'm sorry. Everyone hates me.
14:25 [Bleep]
14:33 What do I do?
14:35 Tony doesn't want anyone else having a title match before her, but I need to give Becky a title match to give Charlotte title match.
14:41 And I've already said to Shana that she can't have time off.
14:44 And I've told Tony that someone's going to get a title match.
14:47 What do I do? What do I do?
14:51 OK, I'll deal with that in a second. Right.
14:54 OK, who's hurting? God, Shana's hurting.
14:57 You can't even go in a match.
14:59 Bollocks. Everybody's hurting.
15:01 Oh, no.
15:03 OK, so Becky's doing OK. Storm's hurting. Riddle's hurting.
15:08 Mort was only just not hurting.
15:10 Basil's hurting and Kingston's pretty close as well.
15:13 Christ on a bike.
15:15 I'm going to have to change all my plans.
15:18 [Bleep]
15:21 And one round of the book table matches only should be rated higher than normal.
15:26 This is really bad. I'm just throwing it out there.
15:30 This is really bad. This is completely screwed up.
15:33 Everything I wanted to do.
15:36 Um.
15:38 So my title match, I don't have that much time to get.
15:43 Rest your current champions this week.
15:45 Why is that? Why do I get a health spot?
15:47 Oh, that's really good. 18 more stamina.
15:49 That's really good. OK.
15:51 Charlotte Flair rematch against Becky Lynch within two weeks.
15:54 There was there should be stuff that's in progress, right?
15:56 Well, didn't Charlotte won the title match within three weeks?
15:58 Yeah. I've got two weeks left for that.
16:02 Sugar.
16:04 But I can't have Storm in a match against Bays though because.
16:09 I already said I'm not going to do it.
16:12 I'm getting myself in a proper tizzy here.
16:14 Because if I give Becky the title shot, I can still give Becky the title shot.
16:17 She has to win and then I can give I can make sure the Charlotte Flair still gets to.
16:21 But then I've already told people that I can't do.
16:23 What am I doing for this week? I don't know what to do.
16:29 What if I just stick to my guns? I'll just do a normal match.
16:31 So hopefully they won't get injured.
16:33 But I do Baszler versus Lynch.
16:38 Normal match. Running. Storm attacking Baszler.
16:44 If Baszler gets injured now, I'm going to be so mad.
16:50 I don't want to rest my champions. I need to get this title belt off her.
16:53 So I can give Charlotte the title match that I promised her.
16:56 Because I can't have Charlotte versus Baszler.
16:58 That's a seal versus heel. That's going to be terrible.
17:02 This is the only way that I can satisfy everybody except obviously Baszler.
17:06 Because she wants to rest and not Storm because she.
17:12 I'm doing all this so Charlotte can have a title shot.
17:14 What if I just don't do that?
17:16 What if I don't give Charlotte a title shot and I actually rest people?
17:20 Because then that would. I already told them I'm not going to do it.
17:23 Oh my God. I'm I'm completely I'm botching all of this.
17:30 Let's stick with the plan. Stick with the plan.
17:32 That is the main event. I really need Lynch to win them.
17:35 If Baszler wins that match, I'm going to be so furious.
17:40 Luke is really distracting me. I'll be honest.
17:43 This is really upsetting. I've only got two minutes left.
17:46 OK, mid card. Oh God. Is Kingston hurting?
17:53 He's the champ against Mace. Yeah, sure. Normal because he's hurting.
17:59 No title match, no interference. Opener though.
18:02 Slapjack beat Tucker. Tables match.
18:10 And in a promo. Oh God, this is going to look so bad.
18:16 Walt is going to call out Arya Tavari because it's a giant versus a cruiser.
18:20 And that is good. All right. It's popularity is 48, but it'll get better in time.
18:25 And another promo is we want Balor and Riddle to further their rivalry because they're a level three rival right now.
18:32 And it rests Riddle, which is good. So let's have Riddle calling out Balor.
18:38 Yeah. And then let's do some of this stuff. I've got a bunch of money, so I'm just going to go crazy on this one.
18:42 I don't. I haven't done that. I have done that, though.
18:46 What about this one? No. This one. Let's buy it.
18:52 Oh, I should've bought that one. I'll buy it. No, I won't. I'll just do this one.
18:58 How about this one? Yeah, I'm not going to go too crazy.
19:03 I'm just going to buy the ones that I know I got the bonuses for. And they're not huge amounts of bonuses.
19:09 Over 50, 55 popularity and promos. I understand a greater than and a less than symbol.
19:15 YouTube comments. I do sometimes understand it.
19:23 OK. This is not a good week, gang. This is not a good week.
19:33 I didn't book this as a title match. Oh, my God. Can you imagine?
19:39 Can you imagine if I didn't actually put the title on the line?
19:45 I'm so fortunate I spotted that. Oh, no. Can you imagine? OK. Right.
19:54 I think I'm just going to call it there. That's a bad week. It's a bad week for me.
20:00 It's a bad week. I'm all done. Rob Zombieman. Just banger after banger with that, man.
20:06 Yeah. Yeah. Well, Luke. Yes, mate. That was a week.
20:12 Oh, it was a bad week for Pete. No, it was great. Was it now? Mm hmm. Oh, yeah.
20:17 Mm hmm. Definitely didn't get any emails that completely ruined all of my plans that I had.
20:24 Oh, dear, Pete. Well, that was that was rough.
20:29 OK, so I had an email. You had an email. I had an email from Bianca Belair.
20:34 Yes. That said, wow, I didn't expect you to have my back this week.
20:39 I'm I really feel like I'm on a roll. And then it said Bianca Belair's morale has increased.
20:46 And I was like, I did a run in on you. Yeah. It turns out I did a run in on Mia Yin.
20:51 Oh, no, Luke. I was like, why would her morale go up? Did the game, is the game broken or something?
20:58 Oh, my God. It was just the journal and the thing that said Mia Yin wants a run in.
21:01 And I was like, still not done yet. That's insane.
21:06 So I did a run in for Bianca Belair last week. That's why she won.
21:13 That's incredible. Yeah, absolutely incredible. So, yeah.
21:20 No GM interference this week then? Well, no, because I need to run in for Mia Yin.
21:24 Yeah. And I haven't booked Mia Yin because I haven't got a baby face for Mia Yin to go against because Alexa Bliss is still injured.
21:30 Right. So I had to do Bianca Belair versus Bailey. This is this is a bit of a filler week for me.
21:35 OK. Which is not great because I need to advance some of these feuds.
21:39 But also I don't have everyone I need. So this is just a bit of filler stuff for me.
21:44 So I'm not, I don't think I'm going to do Bianca Belair.
21:48 Two and a half star opener. Solid. It's fine. So that's gone up to four now. Lovely.
21:54 I'm also starting to keep track of my feuds.
21:57 I don't know whether that's increasing to three or whether it is on three already.
22:01 Yes, now it's level three. OK, that's fine. That's good because I need to blow it off at a pay-per-view.
22:07 Indeed. Excellent promo. Excellent promo by Buck. Oh good, that's alright, Buck. I wasn't expecting that to be excellent.
22:13 Keith Lee versus Brute Force. Of course, mate. Of course. Lovely stuff. You love to see it.
22:19 But I think Keith Lee gets the win. Big boy Keith wins. Two and a half star mid as well.
22:24 And that grows to a rivalry. Rivalry rose. Rivalry rose to four. Nice.
22:29 Although Pete, I am now on the precipice of lots of threes and fours and I'm still like two weeks out from my pay-per-view.
22:35 So I need to like... Three weeks? Is this the first show I've ever paid for? This is episode seven.
22:41 So we're two weeks out from pay-per-view. So it'll be eight, nine and then the third one.
22:44 So we've got two weeks. Two more weeks until I break the TV and then the pay-per-view.
22:48 Anyway, rivalry rose. Rivalry rose. And that has grown that to four.
22:54 So I'm going to throw this to four potentially. If it works. I have got a lot of stuff paying off here.
22:59 Excellent promo again. So it's a solid week. Edge versus Orton.
23:03 I've not booked a baby face versus a baby face. Well done. I learned from that mistake.
23:07 Yep, yep, yep. Makes sense. Queen Man Universe coming in with a great point.
23:11 I don't know how I feel about Johnson versus Edge. I didn't know who to... Oh, because they're face versus face.
23:16 Didn't know who to root for. Oh, of course.
23:23 Oh, oops. Whoopsie poopsie. Whoops.
23:27 I should have done Orton versus Edge. Maybe. Yeah.
23:31 But it's just a straight normal match. Randy Orton wins. That's lovely stuff.
23:36 Two and a half stars across the board, which isn't great because you're meant to have a flow in that.
23:41 Peaks and troughs. Peaks and troughs. Yeah, but that's okay because it didn't advance any rivalry.
23:45 Yeah, that's three, four. That's a frigging women's title match that still got won somehow.
23:49 Well, you know, I'd like to blitz on the shows. Yeah, that's right. Okay, that's fine.
23:53 I wasn't expecting to be a big week. Right. Speaking of big weeks.
23:57 Oh, look at that. Becky Lynch did a title match. I'll get to that.
24:01 Oh, okay. Slapjack versus Tucker in a tables match to kick things off. Lovely.
24:06 What an opener it's no doubt going to be. Let's simulate this.
24:12 Slapjack gets the win. Three and a half star opener. That is a big, big opening.
24:18 Rivalry rose to level four as well. Love to see that. That's great. Okay.
24:24 Aaron Daivari. Wow, his popularity. Yeah.
24:29 So, I didn't have anything for Walter to do. Because you weren't expecting him to.
24:36 Because he's a giant. The only other cruiser I've got is Kofi Kingston. And he's in a feud with Mace.
24:43 So the other cruiser I've got is Daivari, who's currently doing nothing. His stamina is 100.
24:47 He's barely been booked. So I guess we're having a feud with Walter and Daivari.
24:51 That sounds good. It's building the stars of tomorrow in an okay promo segment.
24:56 That didn't start a rivalry. Why does he get excellent promos and I only get okay ones?
25:02 I've got stars, Pete. I hate this. His might skill, I think, was four.
25:07 Yeah, but it's against someone who's not popular. Yeah, but star rivalry. Might skills.
25:13 Kixer versus Mace. Just a straight normal match. No title. No title on the line.
25:18 Good chance for Mace here to pin him in a championship contenders match.
25:21 It's not a championship contenders match. Don't put that on me. Kofi Kingston wins. That's fine.
25:26 Three star mid. That's fine because it's lower than your opener.
25:30 Let's hope that main event is good as well. But we've got a call up promo with Riddle and Bala.
25:34 Just trying to increase that rivalry. How is Matt with you at the moment after you keep lying to him?
25:39 He got a bit salty afterwards. He was like, you know, I didn't expect this from you.
25:44 After all the work I put in, I can't believe you wouldn't do that. I got warmed up for my main event match and then it didn't happen.
25:50 You did lie to him. Yeah, but now he's fine. Excellent promo.
25:54 And that's up to four now. Rivalry rose. You'll love to see it.
25:57 All right. OK, right. Oh, Shayna. Oh, OK. OK, so. Hurt girl Shayna.
26:05 So, Luke, here's the story. Yeah. Last week I got an email from Charlotte Flair saying I want a title match within three weeks.
26:11 I've been putting in a load of work. I deserve a title match. It's one of your biggest stars.
26:15 So I said, I can do that. I've got a plan. I'm going to put Becky Lynch in a title match.
26:21 She can win the title and then it can be Becky and Charlotte feuding for the title, continuing their rivalry.
26:26 And you can still have Bazaar and Storm feuding, but without the title now.
26:30 Flawless plan, right? Yeah, I like it. Except this week, Shayna Bazaar said, I'm really hurting.
26:34 Can I have two weeks off? And I said, no, that's not in my plans.
26:41 Sorry. Oh, Pete. And then I got. You're the most hurtful GM.
26:45 You lie to your wrestlers and then make them wrestle hurt.
26:48 And then I got an email from Tony Storm that said, I don't want anyone else to get a title match before me.
26:53 Oh, no. Oh, but what's happening here, Pete?
26:57 And then I said, sorry, I'm not going to do that.
27:04 You're making all of your top stars hate you. It's just going to be Aroya Daivari.
27:09 I felt so bad. But I was like, I can't not do this. I have to get this sorted.
27:17 So now Bazaar's wrestling. Tony Storm's doing the run in, which is hopefully going to further their rivalry.
27:22 Hopefully means that Lynch wins because if Bazaar wins here, all my plans are screwed.
27:27 Because then I have to give Charlotte a title match against Bazaar, which is heel versus heel.
27:30 And it will suck. Or I just don't give a title match to Charlotte and everyone hates me.
27:34 Because surely Tony Storm's not going to be happy with this. I don't know.
27:38 So we have now got a main event where two of the three people involved hate you.
27:43 I know. And there's a fourth person in this equation as well. You're also ignoring.
27:48 Yeah. And your list of enemies. So you're hoping for Becky Lynch to win here.
27:53 I need Becky to win this match. Otherwise, I only have one week to give Charlotte a title match.
27:59 OK, right. Well, here we go. If I had a power card that I could fix a match, I really needed it.
28:03 And there wasn't one. So I couldn't do it. I don't know with the popularity, though.
28:09 Because her popularity is so much bigger than Becky's. OK, well, I'm curious to see what happens here.
28:15 This is this is genuinely tense. This is the most tense I think I've been in the Monday Night War so far for this match in particular,
28:22 because I don't know I need Becky to win this. OK, here we go.
28:27 Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Oh, she's injured and she's injured.
28:37 Oh, no. But it's still a four star match. So you got your picture.
28:42 He said, I think I'm going to get injured. Please don't make me wrestle.
28:45 And I was like, I need to base. The thing is, I had a plan.
28:50 So I was like, why don't I just not give Charlotte the title match?
28:53 Then I was like, but I already told Baza and Storm that I'm not going to do what they said.
28:57 So their morale has already gone down. Damage has already been done. I've just got to double down on my plans.
29:02 Oh, but now you're not only to base the win. She's injured and she's still your champion.
29:07 And you've just made everyone unhappy. Four star main event though.
29:11 I mean, you got your peaks and troughs, mate. So you're probably going to win this week.
29:14 But still, it's a bad week overall. But what did it cost?
29:18 But what cost? Oh, God. Right, well, let's see how this goes. Oh, no.
29:24 OK, that is great, mate. Look at this. OK, so, you know, good booking.
29:28 You're open to main event with the highlights of your show. I don't know if that's true.
29:33 I don't know if that's true either, but, you know, that's fine. That's up to three. That's up to four.
29:37 That's fine because I don't want to have a rivalry. Lovely stuff. How about mine?
29:42 Oh, you got the same as me, mate. So great. Lovely. Love it. That's awesome.
29:46 Yeah. So Ballard's up to four. Three. That's missing the pay-per-view.
29:51 That's going to miss the pay-per-view, Pete. Oh, Petey, Petey, baby.
29:57 That means you haven't got one of your champions for your next pay-per-view run.
30:03 It wouldn't be amazing if I win this week. Don't put that into the universe.
30:12 I also found out, Pete, when I was going through things, I haven't been upgrading any of the stuff, you know, like the show and everything.
30:18 Yeah. I just said when I was like, I've got like two, like three things I could unlock and pay for.
30:23 So I spent like 150 grand, like upgrading all of my stuff. So I'm hoping now the quality of my shows are going to be good.
30:28 So here we go. I was only worth 4,000 views. Not great. I wasn't expecting it to be a big week, but 103,000.
30:35 That'll do me. That's nice. Yep. Lovely stuff. I like Smackdown and Raw equally. Last month.
30:41 But Raw has dropped pace. Yeah. Well, f*** you Top Rogue Cultist. Put on some better matches.
30:46 Well, I haven't got my f***ing champs out at the moment, have I? Nice work, Randy Orton.
30:53 I don't think Brute Force was ever supposed to be this popular on Raw, but he's killing it. How popular is he?
30:58 Yep. Me too. Macho killer UK. Randy Orton, that's fine. Give him a free win, says Bailey. Nice.
31:07 Yeah. Even Petty At-Bad seems to like Bianca Belair. OK, yeah, yeah, fine.
31:11 Yo, Raw, no one deserves a champion around his waist. Edge. I mean, Edge isn't even in a feud because I'm the only one with a sort of balls.
31:17 Raw is the show to watch and Bianca Belair is the reason why. And with another win.
31:21 Well, that's fine because she's going to be on TV quite a bit for the next few weeks.
31:24 So here we go. I am not expecting a win here. I will be thrilled if it is. You're far too ahead of me.
31:31 Yep, that's fine. It's ranking two. So I... Oh, I did accomplish my Commissioner's goal. Oh, nice. I didn't.
31:37 I thought my Commissioner's goal was to run in my most popular superstar, but Alexa Bliss is my most popular superstar.
31:43 And I didn't run in on her. I guess it's because she's... Because she's injured? I guess so.
31:46 Most popular available superstar, maybe? Maybe. I don't know. By the way, free special effects booking. Nice. Delightful.
31:52 I didn't do my Commissioner's goal because my Commissioner's goal was "Rest your champions." I was like, "I can't. I can't."
31:58 Well, at what cost, Pete? OK, number two once again. But I'm building here. Slow and steady wins the pay-per-view, as the old phrase goes.
32:11 I think Pete is heading for some real trouble. Maybe now is the time, in a few weeks' time, for Raw to dominate again.
32:22 Yeah, that's fine. Ranking two. I don't mind that at all. That's right. I'm going to get 200,000 fans here and it'll be great.
32:27 Only 53,000. Only 10,000. But you were still... OK, so you were ahead of me. Now you're even further ahead of me.
32:32 So that was, what, 12,000 more than you? For this week? Yeah. It's a big week for you.
32:36 Only 34 grand profit. That's not great. Considering how much I spent as well.
32:40 Oof. Crikey. Another match ruined by a DQ. Way to go, Mace.
32:45 Shane Mace got hurt tonight. Tony Storm came out and attacked Shayna. Great SmackDown tonight.
32:51 Look at her. Yeah, it really did. Sure did. SmackDown's totally pulling ahead of Raw.
32:57 Slapjack getting even with Tucker tonight. Can't wait to see where these superstars go from here.
33:00 It is your biggest feud now. It is. Genuinely, it is your main event feud. Because Kofi's feuding with...
33:05 It's my opener feud. No, my point is that Kofi's feuding with someone who isn't popular in Mace over your championship.
33:12 Walter is feuding with someone who isn't popular. Correct.
33:15 And Mace and Tucker are your two most popular acts and they are feuding and are killing it at the moment because your champion is now injured.
33:24 So Slapjack versus Tucker is your main event. It might have to be at the pay for you at this rate, I think.
33:30 Yeah. And well earned as well. Well earned, Slapjack. Happy to fight you anytime, Walter.
33:35 Only one way it ends, says Daivari. Daivari, you're gonna die.
33:40 Don't understand the fuss about Kofi Kingston overrated. He's your champion. How dare you. That's ridiculous.
33:48 Mysterious splash KO. Ranking one. That's what matters, right? Yeah, ranking number one. I'm doing great.
34:00 Still number one. Still number one. That's all that matters. Still number one.
34:09 Okay, so you are ahead of me by... 50,000. Just under 50,000 views. And we've got a similar amount of money. Yeah. Currently.
34:19 And you've got just slightly more than me. But I feel like my time may be coming now.
34:24 If you've got your champion injured and she's gonna miss the pay-per-view. I've got a buttload of rivalries here that can finish at the pay-per-view.
34:31 Both of my champions are back next week as well. I am really nervous that Shayna Baze is gonna email me and be like,
34:38 "I told you so. I told you I was gonna get injured and you made me wrestle." Yep.
34:43 And also, I guess I need to turn heel next week after my massive babyface turn.
34:50 You didn't even turn the heel!
34:54 Yep, yep. You know, Pete, when you think you've done things bad, I'm telling a bad story.
35:02 Yeah, you are. And really, the headcanon is what really counts. Like, number of fans is sure, whatever.
35:07 But headcanon of your own stories on your shows. That's what's really gonna determine who the true better show is. Yeah, absolutely.
35:16 But I think that's gonna do it for this week's edition of the Monday Night War.
35:20 Pete, you are number one. But for how long? Let's find out next week with the next episode of the Monday Night War.
