00:00 Hello everyone that's watching this episode of Monday Night War.
00:04 Hi, it's your favourite GM, it's Pete.
00:08 Hello.
00:09 This is the first episode that we recorded after the 1.09 patch update thing.
00:15 And we spoke about it in the intro,
00:17 but what we actually said was incorrect about how it's going to be affecting this series.
00:21 So I figured I'd just very quickly explain what's happening with that patch update
00:25 because I've seen a lot of people that are very interested
00:27 to see what we're going to do with tag team champions
00:30 and booking four matches per show and all that stuff.
00:33 And that's not actually what's going to happen for this series
00:36 because the way it currently works, we believe,
00:39 is that in the 1.09 patch update you can book four matches a show
00:44 and you can have tag team titles,
00:46 but that only applies for normal and hard difficulties.
00:50 And when we set up this little series,
00:55 we put the difficulty as easy because we figured that the difficulty was irrelevant
01:00 because it's person versus person.
01:01 But as it turns out, that actually does kind of matter
01:03 because the series, the save file we've got is on easy difficulty.
01:08 So we don't have tag team champions and we don't have four matches per card.
01:12 So it will stay exactly the same for the remainder of this series
01:16 and maybe if and when we ever have a season two,
01:20 then maybe we'll have the normal/hard difficulty
01:23 and we'll have four matches per card and tag team champions.
01:25 Maybe that's how it's going to go.
01:26 But for this series, we've only got like five more episodes
01:29 because it's a 15-week season.
01:31 So we're coming towards the tail end of it now anyway.
01:33 So it will just be exactly the same for the remainder of this series.
01:37 And now here's the pay-per-view for pay-per-view insert name it TLC.
01:42 Extreme rules.
01:45 Double or nothing.
01:47 Here's the episode.
01:48 [MUSIC]
02:09 Welcome to the Monday Night War pay-per-view edition.
02:13 I am Luke Owen, DAD, representing Monday Night Raw.
02:17 I am Chopper Pete Quinnell representing Monday Night Smackdown
02:20 and we're playing through My GM Mode on WWE 2K22
02:23 and this week it is TLC.
02:25 This episode is sponsored by our good friends over at 2K
02:28 and you can pick up your copy of WWE 2K22
02:32 by clicking the link in the video description down below.
02:35 Thank you so much for sponsoring this series
02:37 and thank you for such a really fun game.
02:39 Bloody loving My GM Mode.
02:40 Here we go Pete.
02:41 It's pay-per-view week.
02:43 This is the week I need to work for me.
02:48 I get the feeling that you've set yourself up to probably have a massive pay-per-view.
02:53 And I feel like you're, I'm not gonna say guaranteed,
02:56 but I feel like you'll be a pretty solid chance
02:57 that you are gonna get more fans than me for the pay-per-view.
03:00 Guarantees the word there.
03:01 It is not guaranteed that I'm gonna be number one in the end of week,
03:03 but by the end of this episode,
03:05 but I feel like I've got a good chance this week.
03:08 I feel like you definitely will get more fans.
03:09 It's just about whether that's enough to close the gap that we currently have.
03:13 Because 83,000 fans in front of you right now,
03:17 if maths works, which it might not.
03:20 So you need to get more than 83,000,
03:23 more than me for this pay-per-view episode.
03:25 And I've got a couple,
03:28 maybe one trick up my sleeve that you might not see coming.
03:30 Okay. Maybe. Interesting.
03:32 But we'll see. We'll see how it goes.
03:34 You're right there. What I need to get is,
03:35 not only do I need to get,
03:36 I need to get more fans than you in the, like for the show anyway,
03:39 but I need to get like more than 83,000 fans
03:41 to try and like not only beat you, but create some form of a lead.
03:43 Exactly. Because I've got quite a deficit behind.
03:45 So here we go.
03:47 I've got the rock. So maybe that'll help me in some way.
03:51 Right. Here we go. It is time to play my GM mode.
03:57 Okay, you ready? Ready.
04:02 Okay, three, two, one, go.
04:05 Make sure you're matching up superstars who pair against each other's style of fighting.
04:08 Raquel Vespaux is a bit of a mismatch.
04:09 I know mate. I know. I know it was a bad match,
04:11 but I'd have to put something on the card.
04:12 Remember the Giants pair well with the Cruiserweights.
04:14 Fighters work best with bruiser specialists.
04:15 Put on a reasonable match against any class.
04:17 It's not that you can't use other pairings,
04:18 but sometimes you'll need to meet a commissioner goal to satisfy,
04:21 to keep your best. Yeah, yeah. Cool. Thank you.
04:23 And I think we need to talk about my value on raw.
04:24 I feel like I've only gotten better since joining the roster.
04:26 My stock amongst the climbs every day. I agree Alexa.
04:30 I want us to be on the same page about this.
04:32 Do you appreciate all I've brought? I absolutely appreciate when you want.
04:35 Oh, you want to? Yeah, I'll give you a bonus.
04:41 Thanks for doing something. I think you're very welcome.
04:43 It's been talking with the rock lately.
04:45 It's a great idea that we should team up for tag match.
04:48 That would be fun. I like that a lot.
04:52 Can I meet you? Chosen to put in a tag match.
04:55 I actually had plans for them to feud,
04:56 but they are the same Pokemon type.
04:58 So let's see how this team works out.
05:00 Maybe I'll do that instead. Cool, right exit and continue to booking.
05:06 Okay, right. Let's book this show.
05:09 So I got anything available to purchase a hundred thousand.
05:18 It's available to purchase 70. Oh man.
05:21 Do I spend a lot here? Right?
05:25 Let's do this in a second. I got a journal.
05:27 Rest your current champions this week.
05:30 That's not happening is it? It's my pay-per-view mate.
05:33 Now I do have a pre-match physio to give to.
05:40 Who's the most hurt? Joe.
05:44 Give to Joe. Confirm. That's fine.
05:48 Book show. Right. My opener is a one-on-one.
05:51 It is Alexa Bliss versus Raquel Gonzalez in a TLC match.
05:56 Title matches on the line. Save.
06:00 My first mid-card match is Keith Lee versus Mustapha Ali in a tables match.
06:10 Keith Lee's probably going to get hurt doing that.
06:16 So maybe I'll just make that as a normal match.
06:18 Okay, it does a normal match. That's annoying.
06:22 Oh man, everyone is still hurting from the last pay-per-view.
06:26 Just get better already. Come on!
06:31 Next up is Mia Yim versus Bianca Bela.
06:35 That one will be a TLC match with GM Interference.
06:42 Oh, it's only on normal match times. Cool.
06:44 Well, it won't be GM Interference then. That's fine. Save that.
06:48 And then main event is one-on-one.
06:50 It's Samoa Joe versus Brock Lesnar in a TLC match.
06:59 Title is on the line. No interference. Cool.
07:05 So that's fine. What have I got left? Four minutes. Perfect.
07:08 Show logistics. I'm not going to do it in the gym. That's for certain.
07:13 I could do it in the TLC arena.
07:16 Yeah, let's do it in the TLC arena because that's a branded pay-per-view bonus.
07:21 It cost me 75 grand to unlock that.
07:25 Boost the show quality by 12%. Let's do it.
07:29 Let's get the McMahon family running this show.
07:31 Wow, it also cost me 50 grand to do that. Oops.
07:36 You there. That also cost me some money.
07:39 I have got enough thus far.
07:43 I won't if I do that though.
07:46 Ow. Tick. Tits. Ow.
07:52 Ow. Smeg.
07:58 Ow. S***.
08:01 Rido. Okay. I'm gone.
08:06 Nope. Didn't do that. Don't need to do that. Don't need to do that.
08:09 Okay. That's for next week's show.
08:12 Oh. Show logistics. More special effects.
08:16 I can get this for free. Power card. Play for free. Power card.
08:19 Yes. I did think to do that, didn't I?
08:23 It's all grand. Everything is good here. So that is saving me a lot of money.
08:27 Fortune in fire. One randomly booked Hell in a Cell match will receive a higher than normal rating.
08:30 So can I afford to make you a Hell in a Cell match?
08:40 Time match is on the line.
08:43 And then if I play my fortune in fire, that makes it a super duper good match.
08:51 Which would be good. Higher than normal rating.
08:53 And I don't need to do any of that stuff.
08:56 So now I need to do all my promos.
08:59 What have I got? Ram. Okay. So I'm going to do...
09:03 Charity promo. Jonsena.
09:08 I'm going to do a...
09:12 Rock. Self promo.
09:15 And... I think I want to do a call out promo of...
09:23 Okay. Well, I can't do that then.
09:27 So Rock's doing a self promo. Doing a charity promo.
09:31 I was thinking of turning Edge heel.
09:33 But now he wants to tag with the Rock. So I won't do that.
09:40 I can't start a new feud by the looks of things. So maybe I'll just do...
09:45 What have I done? I'll do an advertising promo I guess.
09:49 And it will be...
09:52 Brute Force has got five pro... Brute Force it is I guess.
09:56 Although like... It's a chance of lowering their popularity.
10:00 I want to actually ruin that. Maybe I'll give it to Edge instead. Also Edge is a babyface.
10:05 So I'll do that instead. Because I think that actually works better.
10:07 I've got a minute left-ish. Fifty odd seconds.
10:12 Book five. Special match types. Run-ins or GM interferences.
10:16 I get a bonus there. That gives up to 13%.
10:22 No. Because I'd also need to do a run-in as well. Which I'm not doing a run-in.
10:28 Power cards. Ratings. Journal. Okay. So. I think.
10:32 That is going to win to that rivalry. That is going to win to that rivalry.
10:34 That is going to win to that rivalry. That is going to win to that rivalry.
10:38 I'm pretty sure that all works.
10:42 Title. That is for the title. I think that is me.
10:48 Come on, Luke. Big week. Big week.
10:51 Confirm booking.
10:56 Oh, Luke. Yes, mate? How was that?
11:00 It was okay. I nearly spent too much money.
11:05 Awesome. Love to hear it.
11:07 But then I remembered that I had some things in my back pocket that I was waiting to do.
11:12 Oh, lovely.
11:14 I am, as I have been for the last few weeks, Pete, confident.
11:20 I think this week is going to be a pretty good week for me.
11:24 I really think this pay-per-view is going to be a big one for me.
11:27 I think we've said in previous weeks, I think you're going to win the pay-per-view.
11:30 But it's by how much. Because you need to make up that big gulf of fans that I've already got.
11:35 I really do. So, let's get seven minutes on the clock.
11:38 What will be the music for this week, Pete? I know you love it when I ask.
11:41 You know what, Luke? I still don't care.
11:43 Are you sure you don't care? I'm pretty certain I don't care.
11:46 I mean, I really think you should care.
11:50 We'll just wait. We're not under any time pressure today.
11:53 We're not going to try and record multiple episodes into a short period or anything like that.
11:56 Luke, wasting time is great. It's really good for all of us.
12:01 Primus it is. You're right, Pete. It is time for a Primus.
12:04 I'm actually going to listen to their new track.
12:07 It's 11 minutes long, so I'm not going to hear the full thing.
12:11 Luke, I really want to book my show.
12:14 I'm not stopping you.
12:16 Yes, you are.
12:19 Right. Seven minutes on the clock. Here we go.
12:24 Three, two, one, let's go.
12:26 Hey, something's coming up. I can't have...
12:29 I can't have Kofi...
12:31 I can't have Kofi King...
12:34 He's my champion. Why can't I use Kofi Kingston?
12:39 Most popular stuff next week's show. I've got two of those as well.
12:42 That's fine. That is for his pay-per-view.
12:44 I'm pretty sure those will apply to the pay-per-view.
12:47 Oh, Luke. Luke.
12:52 I can't use Kofi Kingston.
12:56 He's my champion.
12:58 How can I not use Kofi Kingston on a pay...
13:01 This is a pay-per-view. I need my champions.
13:03 How can I not use Kofi Kingston on a pay-per-view?
13:06 I mean, at least he doesn't have a level four rivalry
13:09 or anything like that that I'm looking to blow off.
13:11 So that's... You know what? It sucks.
13:14 But we can move past it.
13:16 (LAUGHS)
13:19 Yes, Pete. What is a pay-per-view without your top champion?
13:23 (LAUGHS)
13:25 Fine. All right, Trips. Fine. I won't use...
13:28 (KNOCKS)
13:29 No!
13:31 And Tucker?!
13:33 I can't use Tucker?!
13:35 What?! How?! What?! What?!
13:38 I need him! It's Tucker vs Stuck-Tucker!
13:40 That's the main event of my show!
13:42 How can I... I can't use Tucker. I can't use Tucker.
13:44 What do I do without Tucker? What's Smackdown without Tucker?!
13:48 (LAUGHS)
13:51 Yes, Pete. What is Smackdown without Tucker?
13:55 (LAUGHS)
13:57 Pete.
13:59 I can't use Tucker!
14:02 (GROANS)
14:05 I need him! Why would you do that to me?
14:07 This game, saying that I can't have Kofi, and it's like, "Oh, that's fine."
14:10 And then it's like, "Oh, and Tucker as well."
14:12 I can't use Tucker.
14:14 (GROANS)
14:15 No, I needed him to blow off his feud with Slapjack.
14:19 No! (LAUGHS)
14:21 They were going to have a Hell in a Cell match!
14:23 No!
14:25 Luke, you've... You've... You've... (BLEEP) me, Luke.
14:28 You've (BLEEP) me. You bastard.
14:31 (BLEEP)
14:33 (SIGHS)
14:35 "You haven't been making good use of call-out promise." Thanks, Trips!
14:38 "Making use of starting your rivalries boosts existing ones.
14:40 "You should always be thinking about current and future rivalries."
14:43 I was! I wanted to blow off Tucker at the... (STAMMERS)
14:46 Oh, no. No, no.
14:48 Shana, no, this is not a good week for you to walk out, Shana.
14:51 I've had enough crap working at SmackDown. It's been a complete joke.
14:54 Luke, I've done this dance before. I understand.
14:57 You want some money, you're going to be happy afterwards.
15:00 It's all good. Got your back, Shana. Don't worry about it.
15:03 "Especially after you didn't care I crippled myself.
15:06 "The only way you can convince me to say this with a...
15:08 "$100,000 bonus?!"
15:11 Uh...
15:16 I don't... I can't... I can't afford that.
15:20 I can't afford 100 grand.
15:24 Shana's my champ.
15:26 (SIGHS) (BLEEP)
15:28 What do I do?
15:30 What do I do?
15:33 Shana's my champ.
15:35 Can I just let her walk?
15:38 (THUD)
15:40 100 grand?!
15:43 No!
15:47 "Sorry, Shana, not going to happen."
15:49 I can't afford it. I only have 292,000 total.
15:52 (BLEEP)
15:56 "I'm giving you one more chance."
16:03 OK, Shana's not gone yet. OK.
16:05 "Should put me in a match with Kai. Trust me on this."
16:08 "Sounds like a great idea. I'll make it happen in the next three weeks."
16:10 "I wanted to start a rivalry between Dakota Kai and Natalia anyway."
16:12 "Yes, I do. You agree." Thanks, Natalia. Great.
16:15 (BLEEP)
16:17 "I can't use Kofi Kingston, who I wanted in a match,
16:19 "and I can't use Tucker, who I wanted in a match."
16:22 What do I do?!
16:24 What do I do?!
16:26 (BLEEP)
16:29 (SOBBING)
16:33 What do I do?! I don't have anyone!
16:35 What is this show?!
16:37 (BLEEP)
16:43 (BLEEP)
16:46 OK, OK, OK.
16:51 "Riddle stamina's 37."
16:54 (BLEEP)
16:59 I think the main event in that case...
17:02 ..is probably Becky Charlotte...
17:04 ..or Bala Riddle.
17:08 Let's go with Bala and Riddle.
17:12 In a...
17:19 ..TLC.
17:22 Oh, snap. Riddle's going to get injured!
17:25 (LAUGHS)
17:27 I can't be handling this.
17:29 I need that main event to be massive.
17:31 I've got so much to book.
17:33 I need to do all my logistics and everything.
17:35 Opener needs to be the second biggest match,
17:37 which is going to be Lynch vs Flair.
17:39 I think. I don't know if that's true.
17:41 Lynch vs Flair, and that's going to be in...
17:45 ..Extreme Rules, sure.
17:48 Mid card is going to be...
17:51 Oh, (BLEEP)
17:53 Baszler vs Stratford.
17:57 Er...Baszler vs Storm.
18:00 Tables.
18:02 And...
18:04 ..no-one else.
18:08 Walter vs Dovari.
18:10 In a...
18:13 ..Pelisel. (LAUGHS)
18:15 Sure.
18:17 Self-promo. Slapjack.
18:19 Charity promo.
18:23 Mace.
18:27 Call-out.
18:29 Kai vs Natalia.
18:32 Yeah. Show logistics.
18:35 100! I don't have that much money!
18:40 I don't have enough money for that.
18:45 (MUSIC CONTINUES)
18:47 Ah, no! I don't want to go back.
18:58 No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:00 Can I afford that?
19:02 Ah, (BLEEP)
19:06 Can't afford that.
19:13 Oh, I can't afford this either.
19:15 (BLEEP)
19:20 Can't afford a charity promo for Mace.
19:26 I'll just do it as a self.
19:30 (SIGHS) Still way over.
19:34 Let's change this. It's not a Hell in a Cell anymore.
19:40 It's going to be a...
19:42 ..let's do a tables match.
19:44 What's my commissioner goal?
19:46 I'm not going to do a run-in on one of my champions.
19:48 Absolutely not. I've got no title matches!
19:50 That needs to be a title match.
19:52 Yeah, that works.
19:55 Yeah. I'm going to do the different promo types.
20:00 Can I change that back to...
20:02 ..charity?
20:05 Does that... OK, that fills that requirement.
20:07 I have 30 seconds. Holy (BLEEP)
20:11 Er...
20:13 Can't afford any of this.
20:16 (BLEEP)
20:20 This is not a good pay-per-view for me, gang!
20:23 Ow!
20:25 (BLEEP)
20:28 I'm done.
20:36 You OK?
20:40 Luke? Yes, mate?
20:42 I couldn't use Kofi Kingston.
20:44 Oh, no, Pete.
20:47 Did someone play a power card that said you couldn't use your top champion?
20:51 And more importantly, I couldn't use Tucker.
20:54 Oh, dear, Pete, did someone play a second card that meant you couldn't play a different person?
20:58 Which means I can't blow off my Tucker and slap that.
21:01 Thankfully, people love it, Pete,
21:03 so you can continue that on for another pay-per-view cycle.
21:06 No! It won't last!
21:08 I get bored of the feud by the next pay-per-view,
21:10 which means I can just never blow it off!
21:12 So, it's not a good day for you at the office?
21:17 Shayna Baszler hates me.
21:19 Oh, we know that.
21:21 She asked for a bonus and I said no, cos I couldn't afford it.
21:24 Oh! How much did she ask for?
21:26 100 grand! 100 grand?!
21:28 That's why I said no! It was too much money!
21:31 Shiny bats, that's quite a lot.
21:36 Right, well, I had a pretty good time, mate.
21:39 So, this is going to be bad for Bliss.
21:42 It's a DLC match!
21:45 There's every chance that she gets injured again here.
21:51 I think Alexa Bliss is going to get hurt this week
21:54 and she'll probably still be the champion.
21:56 Do you know what?
21:58 Look, why am I being so pessimistic?
22:00 Alexa's a tough cookie.
22:02 I'm sure she'll be fine.
22:04 I'm sure she'll be fine.
22:06 So, come on, Raquel.
22:08 Now's your time to step up, mate,
22:10 and win the f***ing title already.
22:12 Here we go.
22:13 Stimulate.
22:14 Two, three.
22:15 It's Alexa Bliss winning!
22:17 Is she injured? She's injured!
22:19 Yes!
22:21 The Groveries Ronplete.
22:23 Oh, yes! Thank God!
22:25 So, that's all.
22:26 Bollocks, that f***ing...
22:28 Messed up my plan for tomorrow.
22:30 She was not fine.
22:33 F***.
22:35 Four and a half star opener, though.
22:37 That's it.
22:38 Four and a half star opener.
22:39 That's what I'm after.
22:40 John Cena doing a charity promo.
22:41 Makes sense.
22:42 Excellent.
22:43 Love it.
22:44 Love that.
22:45 Mid-card match.
22:46 Lee and Ali in a match.
22:47 Lee could get injured as well.
22:48 Yeah, I know.
22:49 I didn't realise that Lee was that hurt.
22:51 And he...
22:52 Mustafa Ali wins.
22:53 Come on, Keith, be alright.
22:54 An amazing match.
22:55 And...
22:56 He's not injured.
22:57 Crivalry Ronplete.
22:58 Also a good sign.
22:59 And Lee is not injured.
23:01 That's good, because I've got plans for you.
23:03 Rock doing a self-promo for The Rock.
23:05 Good!
23:06 Just a good promo.
23:07 Just a good promo from The Rock.
23:09 Just a good promo.
23:11 Nothing special.
23:12 Yeah, just a...
23:13 He had it written on his wrist.
23:14 Which was a problem.
23:15 Here we go.
23:17 Look at that.
23:18 TLC match again.
23:19 Reckoning Bianchi Belair.
23:20 You know, branded pay-per-view bonus and all that.
23:22 Stimulate.
23:23 Come on, Reckoning.
23:24 It's Reckoning!
23:26 My hand picked...
23:27 Four and a half stars as well.
23:29 That is a big old match.
23:30 I need my main event to really...
23:31 You need your main event to beat you.
23:33 And that is another.
23:34 Crivalry Ronplete.
23:35 Once again, yeah.
23:36 That is three for three.
23:37 Yeah.
23:38 Edge.
23:39 An advertising promo.
23:40 Popularity.
23:41 Fine.
23:42 It's okay.
23:43 I've got plans there.
23:44 It's okay.
23:45 It's not great though.
23:46 Here we go.
23:47 Oh my god.
23:48 Joe's in a hell of a cell match.
23:49 And his stamina's...
23:50 You're gonna injure both of them again.
23:51 No, well, I gave Joe a pre-match physio.
23:53 So his chances of getting injured are less.
23:56 Yes.
23:57 Good to know.
23:58 Yeah, exactly.
23:59 So, stimulate.
24:00 Okay.
24:01 So, please Joe, do not get injured.
24:02 Joe wins!
24:03 Joe is still...
24:04 Please get injured, Joe!
24:05 Five star match!
24:06 And he's not injured.
24:07 He's not injured.
24:08 Excellent news.
24:09 And the Crivalry is Ronplete with a five star main event.
24:12 That is, what, a five?
24:13 A four?
24:14 A four and a half?
24:15 And a...
24:16 Another four and a half.
24:17 Yeah.
24:18 That's a big pay-per-view.
24:19 That is a big, big pay-per-view for Luke, Steve and Owen right there.
24:23 So, pleased with that everyone.
24:26 Hot dang, the hard work paid off.
24:30 Thank you for your sacrifice, Alexa Bliss.
24:33 Gonna be number one.
24:35 Such a brilliant show.
24:36 See all those five star matches.
24:38 Number one, baby.
24:40 It's gonna be a number one.
24:43 So, I've got Lynch versus Flair.
24:45 Level three rivalry, so this should end it.
24:47 Which is good, because this has been going on for a while now.
24:50 And they've not been pulling out those matches.
24:52 Somehow, it's only a level three rivalry.
24:54 I don't know how that's happened, but whatever.
24:56 Yeah, extreme rules match.
24:58 Simulate that off.
25:00 Becky Lynch gets the win, that's fine.
25:03 Three and a half star opener.
25:05 Rivalries complete.
25:06 Not a...
25:07 You...
25:08 Why have you got Basler and Tony Storm?
25:09 Surely that's gonna be the bigger match.
25:11 They are way less popularity than Lynch and Flair.
25:14 That's a title match though.
25:16 It's only a tables match versus an extreme rules as well.
25:18 I put this as the biggest stipulation, with high popularity on these guys.
25:21 I'm just going by what the game says, Luke.
25:24 Alright?
25:25 We'll certainly see, won't we?
25:27 So, promo for Slapjack, because he was gonna have the main event against Tucker.
25:32 The main event, Luke!
25:35 And what a main event it is, by the way.
25:39 Good promo from Slapjack.
25:40 Well done, Slapjack.
25:41 The same as The Rock.
25:43 There has been said that they are the same level of promo.
25:49 Oh, Shani Baz is so hurt here.
25:52 Hang on, you're having a pop at me for putting my champions,
25:55 my potentially hurt champions in big matches.
25:58 You're doing the same thing.
25:59 And she hates you.
26:00 At least Alexa Bliss likes me.
26:02 For how long, Luke?
26:04 For how long?
26:05 Let's tune into Monday Night Raw.
26:07 I don't think she's gonna like me for much longer.
26:08 Come on, Storm.
26:09 God damn it!
26:12 And it was a bigger than your opener!
26:14 Why?
26:15 Because it's a title match, Pete!
26:17 Why does that matter so much?
26:19 It's a title match.
26:21 Charity promo from Mace.
26:23 Give me some fans.
26:24 Thank you.
26:25 He's doing a charity promo.
26:26 Makes sense to me.
26:28 Walter versus Daivari.
26:30 Give them a tables match.
26:31 Am I watching a pipe view or just a regular episode of SmackDown?
26:35 Shut up.
26:36 They're not even in a rivalry.
26:37 They are now.
26:38 A lot of wins.
26:39 Two stars.
26:40 They still don't have a rivalry!
26:43 I put them in two matches and a call-out promo,
26:46 and I still don't have a rivalry!
26:49 What is happening?
26:51 The rivalry is not growing.
26:53 The rivalry is not growing!
26:57 Oh, look at that.
26:58 Chaka is starting a new feud.
27:00 I hope so.
27:03 Man, look at their stamina.
27:04 That didn't start a rivalry!
27:07 What's going on?
27:09 Why can't I play this game?
27:13 [Laughs]
27:19 Good show, Pete.
27:22 Cost you three grand, that.
27:24 Three grand!
27:27 [Laughs]
27:34 Level four rivalry.
27:36 Oh, poor Riddle, mate.
27:37 In a TLC match.
27:39 I didn't check to see if Bay's look got injured.
27:41 I don't think she did.
27:43 Still, she's not going to be pleased with you.
27:46 Please be a good match.
27:47 Bala gets the win.
27:48 End the rivalry.
27:49 Four and a half star main event.
27:51 There you go.
27:52 At least you had a solid main event there.
27:56 Oh, amazing booking!
27:58 You put on a great pay-per-view
28:00 and the opener and main event matches created a memorable start and finish
28:03 and highly rated matches.
28:05 Lovely, lovely, lovely.
28:07 No!
28:08 Alexa Bliss, three weeks.
28:10 That's a f***ing problem, actually.
28:13 Bugger.
28:14 But that's...
28:15 I should have given it to Bliss.
28:20 It's okay.
28:21 I've actually got something in mind.
28:22 It's okay.
28:23 Okay.
28:24 And for Smackdown...
28:26 Poor opening!
28:27 Your first midcard outperformed the opener of your pay-per-view,
28:29 creating a weak start and confusing paces for fans.
28:31 Swapping these two matches would have created a stronger start for your pay-per-view.
28:34 I know that now!
28:36 But this is the second time you've made this mistake, Pete.
28:38 I know!
28:40 It's the second time you've done this.
28:41 I'm just going by what the game says.
28:43 The game told you last time, "Don't do this!"
28:47 That is not the game's fault.
28:48 That is human error.
28:49 I'm just going by the numbers, Luke.
28:51 I'm just going by what the numbers tell me.
28:54 Still.
28:55 So, yeah, luckily, no injuries.
28:57 Rivalry complete with Batyr and Storm, which is good.
28:59 Thank God that's done.
29:00 Rivalry complete with Balor and Riddle.
29:01 That's good.
29:02 Rivalry complete with Lynch and Flair, which is good.
29:03 No rivalry started out.
29:04 No rivalry complete with Tucker and Slapjack,
29:06 which is what I wanted out of this.
29:08 Okay, well, here we go, Pete, because now's the time.
29:11 So, Shaq-O-Li-C.
29:13 211,000 fans!
29:15 It's big.
29:16 It's big, but is it big enough?
29:18 Is it big enough?
29:19 That's the thing, isn't it?
29:20 So, that's 1.936.
29:22 That rivalry between Zmojo and Brock Lesnar finally got settled,
29:24 almost didn't want it to end.
29:25 Oh, no, Alexa Bliss leading three.
29:27 TLC is...
29:28 Oh, look at that!
29:29 Reckoning is perfect for TLC matches.
29:30 There you go.
29:31 Show of the year, maybe even of the decade.
29:34 Thank you, QueenSav4EUK.
29:36 Loved Ali's match tonight.
29:37 Keith Lee, unlucky to lose that.
29:39 I agree.
29:40 John Cena killed it with that promo.
29:42 Rock doing good mic work.
29:44 Yep, just good.
29:46 So, yeah, good show for me.
29:50 Come on, surely.
29:51 Is this the week?
29:53 Please show me number two.
29:54 Come on.
29:55 Oh, yes!
29:58 Despite all the odds, I'm still number one!
30:03 What?
30:05 Well, no!
30:08 No!
30:10 It's supposed to be my week.
30:12 No!
30:14 Stupid game.
30:15 Stupid Pete.
30:18 Luke, the last, like, four weeks have been so stressful for me,
30:22 and I've been hanging on by a thread.
30:24 The last four weeks have been building to this moment
30:26 where I could be number one again.
30:28 How much did you close that gap?
30:29 Because if you're right behind me,
30:31 I'm still going to struggle from here on out.
30:33 What I needed there was like a fan retention card or something.
30:36 Yeah.
30:37 Okay, and I got 334 grand in the bank,
30:40 so that's pretty good.
30:41 I'm going to have dick all in the bank
30:44 because I almost ran out of money on this show.
30:47 1.93.
30:48 Let's see what you got.
30:50 All right.
30:51 Look at that show quality beef.
30:53 Man!
30:54 Oh, my goodness.
30:55 So you're 1.98, so you're still ahead by like 50,000.
30:59 Good.
31:00 That's solid.
31:01 I'll take that.
31:02 That's okay.
31:03 That's good.
31:04 I'm assuming that's down to your, like, the show quality?
31:06 I don't know.
31:08 Did you book a big arena or something?
31:09 Because I booked in the TLC arena.
31:11 TLC arena.
31:12 I couldn't afford to buy the big arena.
31:14 Yeah, me neither.
31:15 I was out of money.
31:16 Yeah.
31:17 Shayna Baze is such a natural at tables matches.
31:18 Nice.
31:19 Put her in more, please.
31:20 I see this more often.
31:21 See, that's why that match was better,
31:23 because I didn't realize that Shayna was so good at tables matches.
31:26 If I'd have known that,
31:27 then I would have put it in the opener.
31:33 Anywho, tonight's SmackDown was amazing.
31:35 Yeah, I love Finn Balor's match tonight.
31:37 Great to see Walter in another tables match.
31:39 Keep him coming.
31:40 Finn Balor's been putting in so much work.
31:41 Shayna Baze is just too good.
31:43 Keep running him halfway, you can Dakota Kai.
31:45 I mean, it doesn't matter because we're not in a rivalry.
31:49 Someone on SmackDown must really like Slapjack on almost every week.
31:51 Who doesn't like Slapjack, Dr. Messiah 2000?
31:55 It's true.
31:56 But most importantly, ranking number one.
31:59 Still don't have that much money, but I'm still number one.
32:04 I'm still number one, and that's what matters.
32:07 SmackDown number one.
32:09 Really thought that was going to be my week.
32:14 My injured champion again.
32:17 Five weeks to go, Luke.
32:19 We're building to run the road to WrestleMania now.
32:22 Are we?
32:24 That's the last pay-per-view is WrestleMania.
32:26 Is it really?
32:27 Yes.
32:28 We're not just going to like.
32:29 Nope.
32:30 WrestleMania.
32:31 We went from WrestleMania Backlash to TLC to WrestleMania.
32:34 Yes.
32:35 Okay.
32:36 That's how it works.
32:37 Fair enough.
32:38 Well, I think that's going to do it for this week's episode of the Monday Night War.
32:45 Thank you so much for watching.
32:47 And a special shout out to this episode sponsor 2K.

32:55 We've been very much enjoying it, as you can tell, although I think I'm having more fun than Peter's currently.
32:59 I'm so stressed.
33:01 This is bad for my health.
33:03 Right.
33:04 So I've closed the gap somewhat, but not enough.
33:07 But not enough.
33:08 Yet.
33:09 Yet.
33:10 You've still got time.
33:11 I've got money.
33:12 I've got money in the bank.
33:13 I don't.
33:14 Find out what happens on the next installment of the Monday Night War.
33:18 I have been Luke Owen representing Monday Night Raw.
