WWE 2K24 has made some changes to MyGM mode. I don't love all of them but I try to work my way through them with Paul Heyman's ECW in our recreation of the Monday Night War going up against WCW and WWE. Catch each of these streams live on twitch.tv/primetimepk.

00:00:00Welcome, welcome, hopefully technology likes us a little bit better today.
00:00:18That was incredibly infuriating yesterday that things just stopped.
00:00:24So hopefully that won't be the case today.
00:00:26But yeah, welcome.
00:00:27We're going to continue on looking at WWE 2K24, looking at My GM for the day.
00:00:34So we will, uh, yeah, let's, uh, let's get right into it and see what this is all about
00:00:39this year.
00:00:40Take one.
00:00:41Mark.
00:00:42Action.
00:00:43Hey, I'm Cody Rhodes and welcome to My GM, where you can control your favorite brands
00:00:52and...
00:00:53This feels like something I can skip.
00:00:54Team.
00:00:55Yeah.
00:00:56Okay.
00:00:57Uh, manage your brand.
00:01:01Each gym has a unique player card.
00:01:04We know that stuff.
00:01:05All right.
00:01:07Adam Pierce, instigator.
00:01:08Two times per season, uh, per season increases the level of all active rivalries by two.
00:01:13That's interesting.
00:01:15Don't hate that one.
00:01:16Sony deville.
00:01:17Uh, power cards in the store are free and grant two copies whenever purchased or when
00:01:21purchased this week.
00:01:23Okay.
00:01:24Stephanie McMahon earned twice as much money from arena attendance this week.
00:01:28Okay.
00:01:29Uh, Xavier Woods, select a superstar from, uh, they will permanently join your roster.
00:01:35So you can just steal someone interesting, uh, all your superstars immediately recover
00:01:41in stamina.
00:01:42I like that one.
00:01:43Uh, I'll show logistics bonus this week, double, uh, Mick Foley, two superstars who participate
00:01:52in their show.
00:01:53This week we'll be injured.
00:01:55Jeez.
00:01:56Ted DiBiase.
00:01:57All matches are free to book this week.
00:02:00Oh, we got Theodore Long on here too.
00:02:06That's fun.
00:02:07You can just use a custom superstar.
00:02:09Okay, okay, so some of these, some of these are all right, but I'm, um, I just like being
00:02:20the idea of being the million dollar man.
00:02:22So let's go with it.
00:02:24All right.
00:02:26What brands can we pick from here?
00:02:28Oh, you can do ECW this year.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:30Well that changes it.
00:02:33Obviously we're being Paul Heyman and ECW.
00:02:41Uh, and then we are a hundred percent going up against like, we have to do this, right?
00:02:50Well, now this one's a touch off cause we're not going to go, you know, with the guy, but
00:02:57yeah, I dig this.
00:03:04Let's do it.
00:03:05Yes.
00:03:06I would like to confirm these brands.
00:03:12Uh, yeah, let's start with normal.
00:03:16Two mid-card matches during regular shows, three during PLEs, small budget reduction
00:03:21in later seasons.
00:03:22Oh, that sucks.
00:03:23Uh, medium morale thresholds, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:29Uh, extreme.
00:03:36Now we can just do normal.
00:03:37That's fine.
00:03:38And we'll start at, uh, the highest amount, 3.5.
00:03:44Uh, default order.
00:03:49Yeah, we'll just do default order.
00:03:52That's fine.
00:03:53Shakeups.
00:03:54Yeah.
00:03:55A hundred percent.
00:03:56Don't mind that.
00:03:57Draft pool.
00:03:58I love the idea of custom.
00:03:59We'll probably do that one day, but yeah.
00:04:00Uh, match unlocks.
00:04:01Start with a few match types unlocked.
00:04:02Uh, additional match types will become available by improving your brand over time via logistics
00:04:08and the choices you make.
00:04:10Sure, why not?
00:04:15Let's add, uh, let's add a wrinkle to it this year.
00:04:16I don't mind that at all.
00:04:17All right.
00:04:18Draft time.
00:04:19I'm assuming.
00:04:20Well, the game is frozen on me.
00:04:21We're just in a never-ending loop.
00:04:22There we go.
00:04:23Season one.
00:04:24It's that time of year again.
00:04:25The WDF.
00:04:26The WDF.
00:04:27The WDF.
00:04:28The WDF.
00:04:29The WDF.
00:04:30The WDF.
00:04:31The WDF.
00:04:32The WDF.
00:04:33The WDF.
00:04:34The WDF.
00:04:35The WDF.
00:04:36The WDF.
00:04:37The WDF.
00:04:38The WDF.
00:04:39The WDF.
00:04:40The WDF.
00:04:41The WDF.
00:04:42The WDF.
00:04:43The WWE Draft.
00:04:45Nine rounds of drafting after the ninth round, uh, drafting becomes optional.
00:04:49All right, cool.
00:04:53Let's do it.
00:04:54Number one from ACW.
00:04:55All right, well, I definitely should have paid attention to some of those because I
00:05:05don't know what that orange thing besides them, beside them means.
00:05:11Bilge Roster, no that.
00:05:12I know that, I know that.
00:05:15Superstar ring level will determine how they draw crowds and viewers.
00:05:19Even if you book a bad match, fans will still come pouring in if the superstar has a high
00:05:23enough ring value.
00:05:25Okay, that's an interesting little... quirk.
00:05:31So how much did some of these change?
00:05:33Okay, so we have like a fifth, that's a ten, that's a fifteen.
00:05:39That's hurtful, that EO Sky is only a five.
00:05:41How dare this game.
00:05:43Are there any zeros?
00:05:46So five is the lowest and EO Sky is a five.
00:05:49Man, fuck this game.
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:52What are we doing here?
00:05:55Genuine question, would you rather watch the Flames or the Blue Jays?
00:05:58I'm still gonna go Blue Jays.
00:06:00At least they had a couple of games there where it was offensive eruptions and they
00:06:06scored eight and nine runs.
00:06:08So I'm going to, I will say Blue Jays, but yeah, that was a rough one the other night.
00:06:12All right, we are going to, I want to sort this by popularity here.
00:06:20Now where can we get some values here?
00:06:23Stacks is a 62?
00:06:24No, we're not doing that.
00:06:27Oh, we're building around Gunther.
00:06:30ECW chooses Gunther.
00:06:33Gunther.
00:06:34All right, what's WCW doing?
00:06:39Becky Lynch.
00:06:40That makes sense.
00:06:41Okay, so there's some good ones there still available.
00:06:49I'm just going to go Ronda Rousey.
00:06:50We'll spend some money, get the best available and go from there.
00:06:56Kevin Owens going, does sting a little bit.
00:06:59No, I'm not going Stacks.
00:07:02I don't know how he's a 62, but that's fine.
00:07:05I know we're not doing that either.
00:07:09Let's see.
00:07:10AJ Styles be a good kind of foundational specialist though.
00:07:15They're good against everyone.
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17AJ Styles would be a good foundation to build and we'll go from there.
00:07:24They're going Shinsuke.
00:07:25That makes sense.
00:07:27Julius Creed.
00:07:28That's all right.
00:07:29All right.
00:07:31I'm not going with those guys.
00:07:33Stop doing that.
00:07:34Now let's see who kind of stacks up.
00:07:36No, you know what?
00:07:37We're going EO Sky.
00:07:38I know she doesn't stack up with Ronda Rousey.
00:07:40We'll figure that out later.
00:07:41I just think EO Sky is the best.
00:07:44All right, now who stacks up?
00:07:48Aside from these two, for God's sake, we're stopping that.
00:07:54Oh, Carmella.
00:08:01What else do we have?
00:08:04Ricochet with Gunther.
00:08:05Love it.
00:08:06Do it.
00:08:07Lock it in.
00:08:08Ricochet.
00:08:09WWE's resident superhero lands on a new night.
00:08:13Aiming, going for a big talent like him?
00:08:16What a pick.
00:08:17All right.
00:08:18Where else do we stack up?
00:08:19We also need like tag teams and stuff.
00:08:26Nikki Cross lines up with Ronda.
00:08:28Perfectly.
00:08:29Nikki Cross.
00:08:30The GM brings the chaos with Nikki Cross.
00:08:33Her passion cannot be denied.
00:08:34Yeah, Ron Breaker.
00:08:35That's a good pick by them.
00:08:41You know what?
00:08:42Let's go.
00:08:43Let's go with Stacks and Tony D'Angelo.
00:08:44That feels very ECW.
00:08:45Stacks brings his hard-nosed talents to a new night.
00:08:50The WWE Universe loves this pick.
00:08:52Yeah, we need to get Rhyno there.
00:08:54All right.
00:08:55Tony D'Angelo.
00:08:56There we go.
00:08:57We got a tag team.
00:08:58And this brand has a new don as Tony D'Angelo joins the family.
00:09:02I'm so used to just doing against two.
00:09:04For sure.
00:09:05Okay, I think we need to maybe make a few more budget-type moves, but I need another...
00:09:12Meechan and EOSky would be a good women's tag team.
00:09:15That's good.
00:09:16I like that.
00:09:17There's a chance for Meechan to show what she's all about.
00:09:19Lots of potential in this woman.
00:09:21I like this pick.
00:09:22Oh, 100%.
00:09:23Think Rhyno.
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:25Optional drafting.
00:09:26No, we need to get a couple more peeps in here.
00:09:31Seamus, that price tag is just too high, man.
00:09:34I like Angel Garza.
00:09:40Santos Escobar would be good in there.
00:09:41That's all right.
00:09:42I don't want to just do Cruiserweights and Giants the whole time, though.
00:09:45You know?
00:09:46Our truth is pretty pricey.
00:09:48Sheesh.
00:09:51Oh, Ludwig Kaiser.
00:09:52For sure.
00:09:56Yeah, when I hear ECW, the first one that comes to my mind is Taz, personally.
00:10:03But Rhyno is a very good pull there as well.
00:10:09All right.
00:10:11All right.
00:10:12I was going for the other one of Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, who apparently just isn't
00:10:20in here.
00:10:21So, okay.
00:10:24Did I make any changes to my GM this year?
00:10:25Well, I can be Paul Heyman in ECW, so that's pretty sweet.
00:10:28But aside from that, it looks pretty straightforward so far.
00:10:32You have these little numbers beside the guys on the left there, by their name, going 15,
00:10:3810, and 5.
00:10:40That is, like, a superstar rating that even if the match is a bit of a dud, people will
00:10:43still like them because they're them.
00:10:46I don't know how that's different from popularity, but that's what we're doing.
00:10:51Okay, I don't want to be, like, broke-broke right away.
00:10:55But I also, admittedly, think my roster kind of sucks.
00:10:59So...
00:11:03Let's name him Priest.
00:11:04Priest is a fighter.
00:11:05Is there anyone who I just kind of want?
00:11:13Not really, eh?
00:11:14All right, we can build this in free agency, I think.
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:21I think I built kind of a bad roster.
00:11:23I'll be honest.
00:11:24But...
00:11:28We got some star power at the top.
00:11:29We got some star power at the top, so that's all right.
00:11:32We'll be all right to start this thing out.
00:11:38Oh, sorry.
00:11:39Continue.
00:11:43No, I don't want to quit draft.
00:11:47Tiffany Stratton would have been a good one.
00:11:48That's all right.
00:11:49Well, you know what?
00:11:50I don't think our roster is, like, much worse than the WCW one.
00:11:59Well, you know what?
00:12:00I don't think our roster is, like, much worse than the WCW one.
00:12:14Yeah, seeing all these, I'm feeling okay about it.
00:12:16We got some good free agents.
00:12:19We got some good money to spend in free agency.
00:12:43All right, we're building up to Hell in a Cell.
00:12:45Let's go.
00:12:48Unread messages.
00:12:49Sure.
00:12:54Tonight's the night.
00:12:55The debut show.
00:12:56We have high hopes for you.
00:12:57I'll try not to let you down.
00:13:03Cool.
00:13:10Women's belts are unavailable for the...
00:13:11Well, then why did you let me?
00:13:15God damn it.
00:13:18Say that before.
00:13:21God, that's annoying.
00:13:24All right.
00:13:25My ECW champion.
00:13:29Will be Gunther.
00:13:31My tag team champions are Stacks and Tony D'Angelo.
00:13:35And...
00:13:37Just ECW men's champion.
00:13:40I'm assuming the television champion.
00:13:42Television champion.
00:13:44We will go with...
00:13:47Ricochet.
00:13:54Oh.
00:13:55Sorry.
00:13:58All right, there we go.
00:14:03I should probably have read any of that, but it's all right.
00:14:06Did you see Joey Swole calling out Austin Theory?
00:14:08I did not see Joey Swole calling out Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
00:14:12I missed that.
00:14:13I haven't been on TikTok that much today.
00:14:16Joey Swole.
00:14:17That's quite the brand that guy has built for himself.
00:14:20Triple H is waiting to see how the first show fares.
00:14:23All right.
00:14:24So this is our journal.
00:14:25This is the career thing.
00:14:30Power cards.
00:14:33Oh, okay.
00:14:34So we have extreme rules.
00:14:35We have extreme rules.
00:14:37Block all opposing brands from using three randomly selected champions in next week's show.
00:14:43Cool.
00:14:45All promos are free and have their results doubled.
00:14:47Okay, don't mind that at all.
00:14:51Oh, dude.
00:14:52Joey Swole at WrestleMania.
00:14:53Joey Swole and Jason Kelsey against Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.
00:14:59Let's do it.
00:15:00Lock it up.
00:15:02Manage roster.
00:15:04Talent scouts.
00:15:14Okay, this is new.
00:15:18Also changes.
00:15:20You know, I really should have done any of this before I started.
00:15:24Because my entire thing was based on, oh, I'll just sign free agents.
00:15:30And these free agents obviously suck.
00:15:32Agents obviously suck.
00:15:41Yeah, we want some legends to start.
00:15:47Sure.
00:15:50God, I don't like this at all.
00:15:54But all right, that's fine.
00:15:55That's fine.
00:15:58Does it tell me?
00:16:00Oh, it says on the side.
00:16:01You just can't tell because Mick's arm is there.
00:16:03Bruiser.
00:16:04Okay, that's fine.
00:16:05Show logistics.
00:16:09This seems basically the same as it was last year.
00:16:18Oh, big Mankind fan.
00:16:20Honestly, like everyone goes to like the Mr. Socko Mankind.
00:16:24The Mankind that first debuted needs to be in these video games.
00:16:27The one who is like burying the Undertaker alive and that stuff.
00:16:30That Mankind needs to be back in these games.
00:16:34Oh, Stadium or Coliseum.
00:16:41All right.
00:16:43So we can't do that right now, I guess.
00:16:46Oh, we can.
00:16:49Well, we'll see how the shows go.
00:16:52Okay, let's book show.
00:16:55Now that I am thoroughly annoyed with all of this.
00:17:00Let's book this show.
00:17:08Cool, cool, cool.
00:17:11Oh, what was my commissioner goal for the week?
00:17:13Ensure that your least possible available cruiser is in a match this week.
00:17:18Sure.
00:17:19Oh, no.
00:17:24Uh, okay.
00:17:28Oh, I hate that it's on the side there.
00:17:30Fighter, fighter, fighter.
00:17:31So, cruiser.
00:17:32So, EO Sky.
00:17:45All right.
00:17:46Well, that's definitely not opening then.
00:17:48Uh, yeah.
00:17:50We'll go with them.
00:17:51Works.
00:17:52Sweet.
00:18:00All right.
00:18:01So, we will go.
00:18:03Gunther starting a feud with AJ.
00:18:10We'll put the title on the line to start.
00:18:12Why not?
00:18:15Yeah, I need to sign some people.
00:18:17And this whole talent scout thing is really annoying.
00:18:20Okay.
00:18:21So, but I can do more than like I can.
00:18:23Oh, there's Immortals.
00:18:25Search cost $100,000.
00:18:26That's a little steep, but let's do it.
00:18:30Okay.
00:18:35What?
00:18:38Oh, I only have two talent scouts and they used one on these jabrons.
00:18:41Okay.
00:18:45This is annoying me.
00:18:47Uh, well.
00:18:52Cool, cool, cool.
00:18:54Again, I really should read a lot more of these things, but ADHD.
00:19:00Oh, I like that you can change the weeks that go around.
00:19:02That's sweet.
00:19:11Let's see.
00:19:12Let's do eight weeks.
00:19:14Couple pay-per-view tours here.
00:19:21Locked him in.
00:19:24Right reading is absolutely for the week.
00:19:26Deed's 100% right on that.
00:19:30And yeah, we're going to do the faces of Foley as a tag team.
00:19:45Uh, it's going to be a tag team match.
00:19:48Oh, we can't have those.
00:19:49Uh, okay.
00:19:50I kind of like that feature.
00:19:51I kind of like that.
00:19:53Uh, but yeah, we'll have our tag team champs going up against.
00:19:57It would be better if they had a thing, but that's fine.
00:20:07It works.
00:20:11And now we need something for Ricochet, who's a cruiserweight.
00:20:17So we need a giant in theory.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:34All right, we'll do it.
00:20:35We'll roll with, uh, that guy.
00:20:39Let's manage roster.
00:20:40Should I just like cut the women's wrestlers I have now, since there's no championships?
00:20:46Like they still have star power and stuff, but like, I don't know.
00:20:51That seems really dumb to me.
00:20:52I hate that that was a thing.
00:20:53I should have figured because ECW didn't have a women's championship, but fuck.
00:21:00Uh, okay.
00:21:01Ricochet.
00:21:02Boogeyman.
00:21:05Titles on the line.
00:21:08And now promos.
00:21:13Sure.
00:21:18Well, at least we have enough to do that.
00:21:20All right.
00:21:21Well, somehow, some way we've pieced together a show here.
00:21:33Uh, do we want to, I feel like we want to build up this arena thing pretty quick.
00:21:41Oh, two assets.
00:21:42What am I?
00:21:43Oh, I don't have any assets.
00:21:45See?
00:21:46Reading kids.
00:21:47All right.
00:21:49So I can't buy this thing because I don't have enough assets to do it.
00:21:57Fine.
00:22:04All right.
00:22:06Well, that's a show in a fucking concert hall, I guess.
00:22:12Fucking concert hall, I guess.
00:22:19Whatever.
00:22:25Let's do it.
00:22:26ECW.
00:22:28Rolling through.
00:22:35Uh, yes, we will simulate.
00:22:37Simulate.
00:22:40Oh, and we got new tag team champions in a mediocre match.
00:22:49People love Ronda Rousey.
00:22:50She's not gonna be around in a couple weeks.
00:22:51Don't get attached.
00:22:57All right.
00:22:59We're coming out of the gates hot.
00:23:04The Boogeyman is the new.
00:23:05Yeah.
00:23:07And all the matches are mediocre, but they all get rivalries to punish me.
00:23:15Three title changes on one show.
00:23:17What did I?
00:23:29Yeah, let's see you guys beat that.
00:23:35Main event.
00:23:36Rocked it.
00:23:37Good booking.
00:23:38There we go.
00:23:45Everyone has good booking.
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:58All right.
00:23:59So we gained 44,000 fans.
00:24:01Don't mind that at all.
00:24:02Ah, they gained 48.
00:24:05They gained 49.
00:24:06So we're in last place.
00:24:07We got some work to do here.
00:24:09Bad timing.
00:24:11Yeah.
00:24:12Thanks.
00:24:13Select an opposing CDs.
00:24:14I read.
00:24:15Select an opposing brand.
00:24:16Reduce the length of one of their contracts by one week.
00:24:20Don't hate that.
00:24:26Everyone's here to see ECW.
00:24:28Obviously.
00:24:29Everyone's here to see ECW.
00:24:31Obviously.
00:24:33Although I feel like I might have rigged this game against me now.
00:24:36Because, like, who did finish third in the whole Monday Night War thing?
00:24:40Survey says it was ECW.
00:24:46Ah.
00:24:49Zero scouting points.
00:24:53Son of a bitch.
00:24:55Select an opposing brand.
00:24:56Advertising.
00:24:59This feels targeted.
00:25:02I'll just put that out there.
00:25:04Well, joke's on them.
00:25:05I only have whatever.
00:25:09Yes, I know.
00:25:10I know.
00:25:13Dicks.
00:25:15Do not book your most popular specialist this week.
00:25:17Why would I even dream of it?
00:25:22So I have zero talent scouts to use this week.
00:25:26Alright.
00:25:27Well, health spas are always great.
00:25:32A superstar's GM.
00:25:33Raises the selected superstar's morale.
00:25:36Ah.
00:25:37I don't care.
00:25:40Block all opposing brands from using 3-in-1 in next week's shows.
00:25:45We'll wait on that one.
00:25:46All promos this week are free.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:52Let's throw that over.
00:25:53Yeah.
00:25:54Let's throw that over at Stephanie McMahon.
00:26:02We'll wait on health spa.
00:26:03It's been a week.
00:26:06Alright.
00:26:07So it's annoying.
00:26:08I can't sign anyone.
00:26:09But we can build off of what we did last week.
00:26:15Okay.
00:26:16Who is my most popular specialist is AJ.
00:26:20So he has to take the night off.
00:26:23So that's fine.
00:26:25So he'll get called out then.
00:26:28By ze ring general.
00:26:33Works for me.
00:26:35I'm still good.
00:26:36Good.
00:26:38Ah.
00:26:39Okay.
00:26:40So main event.
00:26:42Boogeyman against Ricochet.
00:26:43Titles on the line.
00:26:46In a tables match.
00:26:47Okay.
00:26:53We'll have mankind go one on one.
00:26:57He's a good guy too.
00:27:00Gosh.
00:27:04We'll just build that up.
00:27:05That's fine.
00:27:11We'll go Rhonda.
00:27:14Again.
00:27:15Rhonda's bad.
00:27:16So we'll go to meet in fills a spot.
00:27:19At least.
00:27:24And we'll go do love against Kaiser.
00:27:32And then self-pro.
00:27:33Oh, two on the mic.
00:27:34Great.
00:27:40All right.
00:27:41Well, we at least have a show.
00:27:46Hmm.
00:27:55I feel like we need more talent right now.
00:27:57So we'll wait on that one.
00:27:59I'll wait on all these because I got just absolutely bombarded with those cards from last week.
00:28:08All right.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:10Those are vetoed.
00:28:11So it shows me what I can and can't.
00:28:12That's good.
00:28:13At least.
00:28:14All right.
00:28:15Oh, I need.
00:28:17Need two assets.
00:28:18My apologies.
00:28:21I really dislike that feature.
00:28:22I don't like that at all.
00:28:26Okay.
00:28:27Well, of all the shows in the history of ECW, this is definitely one of them.
00:28:33We're still good.
00:28:36Let's roll.
00:28:45One, two.
00:28:46That's it.
00:28:47Great.
00:28:48Tony D'Angelo beats mankind in a mediocre match to start the show.
00:28:52Fantastic.
00:28:55One, two.
00:28:56That's it.
00:28:57Ring the bell.
00:29:00Yeah, not having the free agents to start was not something I was anticipating.
00:29:06One, two.
00:29:07That's three.
00:29:08But we'll bounce back.
00:29:09We'll battle through.
00:29:10We're ECW.
00:29:11All right.
00:29:12We can kick out.
00:29:15One, two.
00:29:18Boogeyman has Ricochet's number.
00:29:21Yeah, we're going to have to gimmick the shit out of these matches to start so people actually
00:29:24like them.
00:29:32Poor opening.
00:29:33Well.
00:29:37Suck it up.
00:29:41Plus 34,000 fans.
00:29:44Yeah, there's 48.
00:29:46There's 45.
00:29:47All right.
00:29:48So we're falling further and further behind.
00:29:49But we get a held spot, so that's all right.
00:29:54Oh, Bischoff takes the lead.
00:29:57Two weeks to Hell in a Cell.
00:30:00Seriously?
00:30:06Ricochet has a stamina level below 40.
00:30:08Okay, that's fair.
00:30:10Have your most popular available female good guy face the bad guy this week.
00:30:17We can do that.
00:30:21Who is it?
00:30:26Eh, we'll see.
00:30:28Oh, that actually works entirely.
00:30:30Great.
00:30:31Perfect.
00:30:33Oh, and we have a special something, something, something.
00:30:37Perfect.
00:30:38What?
00:30:39How is it?
00:30:45I'm doing that, aren't I?
00:30:57Ugh.
00:30:59Like, then why isn't it sorted that way?
00:31:02Gosh, this is annoying me.
00:31:06Better?
00:31:08Like, I put sort by popularity, and then it didn't sort by popularity.
00:31:12I don't understand.
00:31:14Whatevs.
00:31:17All right, what are we doing here?
00:31:19Ricochet needs a week off, so we'll get Boogeyman to call him out.
00:31:25Ricochet looks very happy about it.
00:31:29We get AJ Styles, our champion, back.
00:31:34We'll put him in the opener.
00:31:38Against Gunther.
00:31:39For the championship!
00:31:40No, we'll keep the title off for now.
00:31:43I think those two will have an actually good match, so that'll be all right.
00:31:48Midcard.
00:31:49Ah, you're getting a little low stamina-wise, so Dude Love steps in.
00:31:57Against...
00:32:01That cat.
00:32:04Sure.
00:32:05Actually, no.
00:32:06Well, yeah.
00:32:07No.
00:32:09All right, what can we get?
00:32:12Talent scout-wise.
00:32:13We have how many?
00:32:14Oh, we have five this week!
00:32:15Okay, now we're cooking here.
00:32:18Okay, I don't need that, I don't need that.
00:32:20Let's...
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:24I'm good with established stars.
00:32:26Let's just find some here.
00:32:33Yes.
00:32:35We get two.
00:32:37Sweet.
00:32:38One of them I can't use, because it doesn't make any sense at all.
00:32:42And I don't need...
00:32:45Right?
00:32:46I don't need a bad guy cruiserweight, do I?
00:32:50We don't have any other giants on here who are good guys.
00:32:54I mean, he's a body right now.
00:32:57That's kind of what we need.
00:32:58So there.
00:32:59That's fine.
00:33:00He's cheap.
00:33:02For five weeks, sure.
00:33:07All right, now...
00:33:10Okay, renowned stars!
00:33:11Let's see how that does us here.
00:33:18Also...
00:33:20Oh.
00:33:22Yes.
00:33:29Specialist...
00:33:30What is he?
00:33:31Is that giant?
00:33:34Class giant.
00:33:36All right, well, he's a bad guy, but it'll work for now.
00:33:42And then...
00:33:44Two specialists doesn't help me out a ton.
00:33:48Good guy bruiser isn't bad.
00:33:51What does bruiser...
00:33:54Go with?
00:33:55Talon scouts.
00:33:56Right, right, right.
00:34:00Again, really should have looked at this before.
00:34:03Bruiser...
00:34:16Yes, ring experience, ring experience, ring experience.
00:34:20Okay, whatever.
00:34:25All right, we'll be all right.
00:34:26Let's go...
00:34:27Actually, like, I want these guys to be bad guys.
00:34:29So let's...
00:34:31Roll change.
00:34:33Tony D'Angelo.
00:34:34And let's roll change...
00:34:37Stacks.
00:34:40Yeah, like that.
00:34:45Mankind do love...
00:34:47Stacks.
00:34:49Yeah, like that.
00:34:51Mankind do love...
00:34:52God, they're so popular right now.
00:34:55But I don't want to risk just beating the crap out of them.
00:34:57Ricocheting today off.
00:35:02Getting two bad guys was admittedly a tactical error, but that's all right.
00:35:08We'll go...
00:35:11Ivar against dude love.
00:35:13Why not?
00:35:14I know, you know what?
00:35:15Against Dom.
00:35:16It's bad guy against bad guy, but they're...
00:35:18And then...
00:35:21Eo against Meechan, just to fill some stuff out.
00:35:25Show logistics.
00:35:26We can actually get a couple of these now, right?
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:29Oh, one of these, okay.
00:35:36There.
00:35:37That's all right.
00:35:40All right.
00:35:42All right.
00:35:44All right.
00:35:46All right.
00:35:48All right.
00:35:52All right, we're starting to...
00:35:53Starting to move some things around a little bit.
00:35:55This is starting to look all right.
00:35:56I think that match is going to be good.
00:35:57And we put a submission match on that.
00:35:59They match...
00:36:00Their styles mesh.
00:36:02So I think this all should be okay.
00:36:04This week.
00:36:06Start putting some stuff together here.
00:36:18Gunther gets the win.
00:36:19Non-title match.
00:36:20Ah, it's just okay, hey?
00:36:22Don't love that.
00:36:31All right.
00:36:32Good job, Eo and Meechan not overshadowing our main event.
00:36:35Or our first match.
00:36:38Yeah, people aren't going to be into this one, I know.
00:36:42Disappointing.
00:36:43Oh, but it's a rivalry.
00:36:44Fantastic.
00:36:46Guess I should have thought of that.
00:36:54Just okay.
00:36:55Damn.
00:36:56I was hoping for a bit more than that.
00:37:00Oh, tag team title opener.
00:37:02That's fun.
00:37:10Good booking.
00:37:11Excellent.
00:37:12That's what we're going for here.
00:37:16Ugh, only 35.
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:21All right, we're falling behind here.
00:37:26Oh, that's kind of a neat card.
00:37:28Now, what is Stephanie McMahon going to assault me with on this one this week?
00:37:32One week to go.
00:37:35This is war.
00:37:41All right, that's fine.
00:37:46Yeah.
00:37:51Yeah, I figured that one out.
00:37:53My contract will expire at the end of this week.
00:37:57Cost would be, does that say $131,000?
00:38:04No.
00:38:05No, I'm not doing that.
00:38:06That is way too much.
00:38:08Yes, I know.
00:38:18Yeah, let's see.
00:38:19Let's see how your team would work out.
00:38:21I like that idea.
00:38:23Don't book your most popular bruiser this week.
00:38:26Why would I?
00:38:27Wouldn't even dream of it.
00:38:28Insulted you even had to tell me, quite frankly.
00:38:32All right.
00:38:34Boogeyman.
00:38:35Oh, I can't even book him to lose the title.
00:38:38You know what?
00:38:39I'm just going to do it and just take the L on the commissioner goal.
00:38:43Wasn't.
00:38:45There was one of them that just ended the rivalry, didn't it?
00:38:59Loser is removed.
00:39:00When things get tough out there.
00:39:03I think it's true.
00:39:04There is one.
00:39:05I think it's a good one.
00:39:06I think it's one.
00:39:07I think it's a good one.
00:39:08I'm going to.
00:39:09I think it's a good one.
00:39:12Loser is removed from your brand in a casket match. I love that
00:39:18Well, it's probably how in a cell that you could
00:39:22Whatever that's fine. Let's do Oh stamina cost extreme shit. Let's do TLC
00:39:32Now I
00:39:35Should have got the fixes in card damn
00:39:37That's okay
00:39:52Yeah, let's use this one now all you get two per season that's sweet
00:40:02All right, well just trust that I'll be all right
00:40:04And stamina is at 78 so AJ can definitely go again. Oh, we'll do tag team match here
00:40:13We'll go AJ and someone but we'll get Gunther and
00:40:17Kaiser first AJ and a free agent
00:40:29We want
00:40:34Icon seems like a bit much. Let's just go renowned star
00:40:46Man
00:40:47They need to get Yoshitatsu in this game
00:40:50Exclusively just to get his theme song cuz that was that was the that was a jam
00:40:56back in the day
00:40:58Alright, let's see. What are we getting?
00:41:00a
00:41:02Shanti the Adonis probably just showed that I don't watch NXT
00:41:09Yeah, let's do it lock this guy in he's teaming with AJ Styles this week, baby
00:41:21AJ and that cat against Gunther and
00:41:27Kaiser
00:41:31Oh
00:41:34Man that would be amazing. They're the old WWE CW
00:41:38Love that
00:41:39That's really what should be on here
00:41:41Like forget like the ECW pack with like the deadly boys and all of that
00:41:45Get me the WWE CW ones with I guess boogeyman's on here
00:41:49But yeah with Yoshitatsu and all those cats, that'd be amazing
00:41:55Okay, so let's go
00:42:00Let's put the tag titles on the line, why not?
00:42:07All I can't use stacks this week, that's right
00:42:10Okay, that's okay. We didn't need to put a title on the line in there anyway
00:42:14So, let's go again with mankind against Tony D'Angelo
00:42:19No, that's alright and then
00:42:25Yeah, we're basically just gonna run Rhonda into the ground
00:42:28Because there's no women's championship on here. So what's the point?
00:42:34And
00:42:36Then we'll just do that
00:42:40Do that
00:42:45And that
00:42:53Yeah, I don't love the changes they've made to this to be honest I think I like 23 is a lot better
00:42:58But we're just nearly going to this. I'm sure once we figure out how to make it work. I'll
00:43:03Bitch less about it
00:43:16Oh they get the job done, all right two and a half we're getting there
00:43:27Oh

00:44:03Damn it. All right. Well, we gained on raw at least that's good
00:44:07We're doing alright
00:44:10It's hella to sell on raw. I can't use their whatever bad publicity selected brand and steal 10% of their fans for next week's show
00:44:18Why does she still going after me? I'm in last
00:44:25Haha
00:44:27Yeah, we'll say we'll say that one you've been doing that to me the whole time
00:44:38Yeah, we'll probably get you guys as a tag team at some point
00:44:41Please show me some respect
00:44:44I'm not gonna do it
00:44:46I'm not gonna do it
00:44:48I'm not gonna do it
00:44:50I'm not gonna do it
00:44:52I'm not gonna do it
00:44:54I'm not gonna do it
00:44:56Please shows
00:44:58Every five weeks your biggest opportunity to make a comeback gain a large lead on your rivals
00:45:03Be careful though your rivals want to see you fail the hardest during these weeks
00:45:06So double check your booking logistics roster and don't forget your power cards schedule running on your most popular available star this week

00:46:1877 my most popular our ricochet is oh, okay, that's fine
00:46:28Ricochets just gonna be hurt for a bit. That's all
00:46:32Title match interference on
00:46:36Yeah, we'll do that
00:46:38Well
00:46:40Let's see, can we get another giant? I know I'm at 97,000, but I think we have to start releasing some people here
00:46:52He was guys awesome, but oh to the end of the season to know
00:46:58Yeah there had to do it
00:47:04Had to do it
00:47:08But that frees up some money for us so we are looking for a giant right we're looking for someone to go after ricochet
00:47:16Or to start feuding with Ricochet
00:47:18Well, then why don't I know cuz we need need the match to be good too because we're trying to build this
00:47:22so
00:47:24We will go
00:47:28Icons oh
00:47:33Well, yeah, let's have them be that
00:47:38Now let's have them be a giant

00:47:52How about a renowned a star perfect
00:48:00Let's get veer. Let's do it. Love it. All right, we're starting to make this thing work. We're starting to make it work

00:48:21All right, we're starting to come together here starting to pick it up
00:48:28What else do we need to get done here? Yeah, let's just keep blasting through this rivalry here
00:48:39And then you and you alive are already has a rivalry that's right with Dom
00:48:48Well, we're gonna release Dom
00:48:51You served your purpose here kind sir
00:48:56So now I've are freed up from that it's gonna have his rivalry start here with ricochet hopefully
00:49:08You two will wrestle for no reason at all
00:49:16We are gonna do hell in a cell 100% we don't have enough assets to buy anything else, hey
00:49:30All right, let's just see
00:49:33We only have one thing left, hey, can we get anything with that? Oh, I established our
00:49:39Let's see what we can get with our promo skills. There we go. That's what we're looking for
00:49:55Can we start by promo skill no
00:49:58All right, who do I think would be good at cutting a promo probably die jack, hey, so I did that other search for no reason
00:50:05checks out
00:50:10And you're a bad giant again, so that's cool
00:50:15There we at least get one oh, he's a to promo great
00:50:22All right, yeah
00:50:24Little limited what we can do in the in that category right now power cards
00:50:33Get schooled select a roster
00:50:36No one's taking a break on our show. So can't do that. All promos this week are free. We have one so we're probably okay
00:50:44All right, not perfect don't love leaving those slots open on pay-per-views, but I
00:50:50Mean I could afford one other right
00:50:55Mm-hmm
00:51:00Sure, probably not much of a promo either. No three, that's all right
00:51:08Okay, I feel a little bit better about that
00:51:18At ECW Hell in a Cell
00:51:20With no Hell in a Cell matches all the crowd was into it and we got new tag-team champs
00:51:26Amazing. Love it. All right, we're off to a good start. Oh
00:51:33All right, well ricochet is gonna die in this match and veer Mahan is the new television champion
00:51:39Ricochet injured for two weeks that checks out
00:51:42Excellent pro Cruz del Toro coming in
00:51:51All right that guy
00:51:58Ring the bell
00:52:01Rivalry grows to level three. We'll get that one ready for the next pay-per-view and then release them. Oh
00:52:09The crowds into it they love it a
00:52:14Classic AJ Styles and Gunther
00:52:16Things you love to see oh, they didn't schedule any promos at all. That's all right, then
00:52:23And the only had one okay, I worried too much that's okay
00:52:26amazing booking oh
00:52:29Look at that kick the shit out of them
00:52:35Gained a hundred and twenty eight thousand fans made some money off of this, too. Oh
00:52:40All right, there we go see we're a paper we're AEW
00:52:43All right, the creative doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but our pay-per-views kick-ass
00:52:49Your fans the fans your show games this week will increase by a large amount. Sweet
00:52:57All right, well we're still in third but we're only oh it's it's all right there right now, all right love it
00:53:03We're doing a trade
00:53:05Welcome to trading or mo after most PLE shows each brand will have the opportunity to trade
00:53:11Cash or superstars with other brands you may only trade with one brand at a time, but if you want
00:53:17More than two brands are available you can swap between them. All right
00:53:22Five attempts
00:53:24All right, let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see
00:53:30Five attempts, okay
00:53:37This is interesting, all right, you know what I was shit talking it before I kind of like this
00:53:42When trading ants to see P you opponent you'll have to make them logical
00:53:54Logical trades a risk increasing the GM frustration if the opposing GM gets too frustrated
00:53:58They will refuse to trade with you until a later date. Okay, so this makes a ton of sense then if we can trade
00:54:06Rhonda
00:54:08Over to WCW 77 popularity
00:54:14And we could get
00:54:17Nakamura back in return
00:54:20Well, he's in the midst of a feud with that right now
00:54:23Maybe get a Seamus here
00:54:31Let's see me trade
00:54:33That seems all right, hey
00:54:43Let's see if they'll do it
00:54:49Trade accepted, okay
00:54:52I
00:54:58We're also gonna send meet you in over there she's 66 popularity
00:55:09Like if I could get Kevin Owens, even though he's hurt I think that would be pretty sweet
00:55:21Ah
00:55:24Declined
00:55:30All right, they're a little they're a little pissed that's okay
00:55:36That was that was probably asking too much I'll admit I don't need another specialist though
00:55:44Declined I see what you did there John and I appreciate it
00:55:47Um
00:55:50Can we get a brawn also, where are they not offering me trades? Ah
00:55:59Declined again
00:56:03All right, they're getting they're getting more pissed they're getting more pissed that's okay
00:56:10Let's clear
00:56:16I don't know how much money they have you want to just give me a couple hundred thousand dollars here. Let's try for three
00:56:22or not
00:56:27Confirm cash amount. Oh
00:56:29Do they not have three hundred thousand dollars?
00:56:32Where do I see that? Oh, there are budgets up there. Oh, I see. They're in the same spot. I am
00:56:36Whoops didn't mean to do that one
00:56:38All
00:56:44Right, well, let's just get something out of this
00:56:47Pete done. We're taking a bit of it hit here. So wrong button
00:56:53Nope not what I wanted to do either. I
00:56:59Just don't see like if I can't have a women's championship on here, I just don't
00:57:08Don't know don't really see the point. Okay. Oh
00:57:13No, I thought I had that one
00:57:18Okay, fine
00:57:22No money then
00:57:27There we go
00:57:30Getting the wheelin and dealin done. I'm out of trade attempts
00:57:38But I think we put in some good work there four weeks until nothing
00:57:48Yeah, we did crush it I was barely trying yeah, well we'll play nice here
00:58:00Sure early top the charts, how'd you manage to pull it off? I'm the best it's that simple
00:58:09I was hoping to take some personal time. Can I get two weeks off? You just won the tag-team titles?
00:58:21Yeah, whatever take the time
00:58:27You don't seem to realize I'm a bit of a master in the mic
00:58:31Sure
00:58:34Probably a bit of a break anyway
00:58:37Let's shake things up. Oh, these are the shake-ups not like a roster shake-up. I forgot about these. These are dumb
00:58:44After some PLEs you'll be asked to choose a shake-up shake-ups modify your season in new and exciting ways
00:58:51shake-up effects can
00:58:53activate instantly or
00:58:56Last for a set number of shows. Oh
00:59:01I want this one of the giant wins a four-way game 40k. I'm not gonna do that
00:59:07I
00:59:12Need talent right now, so if I can get double the the scouts, I will absolutely do that
00:59:19All right, well now all of a sudden I feel like we got a pretty good roster here of what we want
00:59:26We got Seamus in
00:59:28We got a Pete Dunn. So specialist in a bruiser. That's all right. Do we have anyone who's good with a bruiser? No
00:59:37All right, we'll figure it out anyway, this is where I'm going to bounce I got other stuff to do today
00:59:43But this has been fun little frustrating at times, but fun. I'll be doing the WWE streams throughout the week
00:59:50So yeah, thank you guys so much, and I'll talk to all of you a little bit later
