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.

00:00So now let's get into our, uh, our Might GM that we've been kind of building up here over
00:18the last little bit.
00:22We're still in first place, even though we have, uh, what I would say substantially less
00:27fans than, um, than our opposition here.
00:33All right, so we have, we were building up to something here.
00:38We have a little bit of money now, which is good.
00:40I feel like we finally got the roster to where we wanted it to this last go around, uh, and
00:45now, oh yeah, Stax has a new perk.
00:47Whoops.
00:48Nope.
00:49Uh, yeah, we want Fighter.
00:52Specialist can be annoying.
00:53We're going to, we're going to stick with that.
00:56Uh, we don't have enough for any of these things yet doing, oh, we're getting close
01:03money wise to get into that, uh, or we have it money wise now to get into that social
01:09media thing.
01:10We just need the assets, which is such an annoying way of doing that.
01:13I don't know why that part bugs me so much, uh, but that part does bug me so much.
01:18All right.
01:19We promised Batista a role switch within three weeks.
01:22Uh, Rikishi is leaving.
01:24We promised Jamie Uso a match this week.
01:28That seems reasonable enough.
01:30Uh, so what do we got going on right now?
01:33We have, we have Roman is our TV champion.
01:36Kofi is our main champion.
01:39Roman V. Solo is for the TV title.
01:42Love it.
01:43Kofi against, um, Andre the Giant, who is very upset with us and our tag team champions
01:50right now are the classic team of X-Pac and George the animal steel.
01:55Of course they are.
01:56Uh, Rikishi and Jimmy Uso are in a blood feud, but we have a few openings right now and we
02:01want Batista to end up being a good guy.
02:04So we promised, uh, we promised Batista a role change.
02:08We will give Batista a role change.
02:13Now we got to get some of these guys up here.
02:14There's no way Batista should be a 57 popularity.
02:18Yeah.
02:19Deeds two streams in one day, going to be doing a few more of these, uh, going forward.
02:23At least that's the plan.
02:24I'm, I'm trying this whole thing out.
02:25Just seeing.
02:26Um, but I really enjoy, even though we've had some technical things, um, I have really
02:36enjoyed doing the podcasts live so far and being able to have the, uh, the, the live
02:41chat going while that's been happening.
02:44So, um, but I, I like playing video games and I want to do all this stuff too.
02:48So, uh, maybe I'll find maybe a bit more balance instead of doing multiple streams in a day.
02:52But uh, for right now I'm having a good time.
02:55All right.
02:56So, uh, Jimmy Uso match this week.
02:58Got it.
02:59He, yeah, like, oh, good, good.
03:04I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
03:06Uh, okay.
03:08So Jimmy needs a match.
03:12Him against Rikishi.
03:13Like that's, yeah, it's, it's, it's stale.
03:16It's stale.
03:17We don't need to do it.
03:18We don't need to do it.
03:19That's fine.
03:20Uh, we, so we're not going to put it in the main event.
03:24Hmm.
03:25What should we do?
03:26What should we do?
03:27What should we do?
03:29Who works well against him?
03:31Ah, excellent.
03:33Andre the giant.
03:34And then we will have interference and we will have Kofi run in.
03:40No, on Andre.
03:44Targeting Andre.
03:45Yes.
03:46That's what we want to do.
03:50In our main event, uh, how far away from, oh, nope, don't want to do that.
03:56Four shows to Survivor Series.
03:59So that's fair.
04:05Roman and Solo.
04:07Roman's at 40.
04:08Solo's at 58.
04:10Um, uh, of course my wife was calling right as I, you know, just start this.
04:18Um, I feel like we should maybe let Roman rest a little bit.
04:24So let's try to not do that.
04:26Let's do a, uh, call out promo.
04:30Solo, Solo's only a three, but, uh, I think we can get that one going.
04:34Okay.
04:35So we got that.
04:37Now Stacks is apparently incredibly popular, way more popular than his tag team partner
04:42there with, uh, with Tony D. I feel like, hmm, what can we do with him?
04:52What can we do with them?
04:54Well, let's see who works with the tag team champions first.
05:01You know, our tag team, while those guys are popular, I think our tag team titles, uh,
05:05deserve to be a bit more front and center maybe.
05:08Oh my.
05:09Hey, no, don't.
05:10Sorry.
05:11There's a dog losing its shit outside.
05:12Uh, okay.
05:13Ooh, a Shinsuke Randy Orton tag team.
05:14I think that could be fun.
05:15Or, or, oh.
05:16Oh, I got an idea.
05:17Randy Orton.
05:18We're turning Batista into a good guy.
05:19Randy Orton and Batista as a tag team going after the tag team titles.
05:20You'll love to see him.
05:21Oh, I got an idea.
05:22Randy Orton.
05:23We're turning Batista into a good guy.
05:24Randy Orton and Batista as a tag team going after the tag team titles.
05:25You'll love to see him.
05:26Oh, I got an idea.
05:27Randy Orton.
05:28We're turning Batista into a good guy.
05:30So, um, let's, let's just do a self promo here.
05:31Get Randy out there.
05:32Um, okay.
05:33That's fine.
05:34Uh, Randy Orton is, yeah, let's get ready out there.
05:35Let's get the popularity boost in a little bit.
05:36That's fine.
05:37So we'll get the tag team titles.
05:38We'll get the tag team titles.
05:39We'll get the tag team titles.
05:40We'll get the tag team titles.
05:41We'll get the tag team titles.

06:11We'll get the tag team titles.
06:12We'll get the tag team titles.
06:13We'll get the tag team titles.
06:14Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:15Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:16Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:17Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:18Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:19Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:20Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:21Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:22Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:23Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:24Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:25Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:26Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:27Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:28Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:29Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:30Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:31Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:32Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:33Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:34Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:35Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:36Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:37Oh, a couple big dudes.
06:38Oh, is he hurt?
06:40Oh, no that's contract time left.
06:45Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
06:51Yeah, I think because we're looking at putting a few of our main guys and some other stuff,
06:57we got to get, we got to get Roman on the show.
07:00Roman, you're a good guy.
07:04We don't really have a bad guy for you to face.
07:09All right, so maybe that doesn't work. Maybe that doesn't work. That's fine.
07:18What should we do with this?
07:22Yeah, I feel like we should have six on there.
07:26Yeah, let's do six to get how Braun Strowman's really beat up. That was the point of not doing
07:29that. Okay, well, we can't do that in the main event. But we can do here six against
07:37Josh Briggs main event anywhere in the country. Hey, toxic. How's it going?
07:45Yeah, let's, let's get that going. That's
07:50I think that's the way we're gonna do. I'm doing well toxic.
07:54Thanks for thanks for popping on one more time. I appreciate it.
08:00Okay, so we have that we still don't have a main event though.
08:05Okay, so it's bruiser and they go well against the fighter.
08:12Oh boy, he can switch to a fighter canny. I thought we could I thought we could do that.
08:16Oh, but we probably have to do a thing. That's probably what we have to do. All right. So
08:21let's see. Do we have? Do we have talent scouts we can use? Oh, we got a bunch.
08:27Alright, so we want established star renowned star that works. They need to need to be a dude.
08:37They do need to be a bad guy because we got Roman and they do need to be a fighter. So let's do it.
08:48Nothing. All right, we're going up to icons. Here we go.
08:57Nothing. Man legends are going to be too expensive. So we're going the other way.
09:07Nobody. Fine legends. We're doing it.
09:14Oh, I don't have the talent scouts for it. That's fair. That checks out.
09:21Well, this is annoying.
09:22Nothing. No, I don't want any of you and I just wasted talent scouts on that. Oh,
09:27that was dumb. Okay. Well, that infuriated me greatly.
09:36Oh, dude. Yeah, I I agree with you toxic like it just I was thinking that today like I don't know
09:45if it's ever going to fully feel real, you know, like and that's the part of the the fandom
09:52experience is that like like we don't act like we we don't actually know these people, right?
10:00So when there is an absence from them, it's not like it's not unusual for Johnny Goudreau to not
10:06be in my life because he's not like an active part of it. Right. And and so but when you have
10:11that thing happen, like it just it keeps hitting you like, oh, right, like this is this is real.
10:16And it just it keep Yeah, you're right. It just it keeps hitting me in waves. 100%.
10:22Yeah, and then they're like you said deeds there. It's just like a snowball. Like it's just it's
10:26one thing after the other after the other after the other. That it just it makes it just adds to
10:35the level of heartbreak on that story. So no, that that is an excellent point where it's just
10:41so sad all of it. Okay, that's not gonna be a main event. But we'll get Roman
10:47against stacks just to get a couple guys on the card. And then we do need an extreme rules match.
10:59So
11:00sure, let's do it. None of that makes sense.
11:12Do we have a bad guy bruiser who could start a feud with
11:16Shinsuke? No, we're just gonna do it. Great. Love to see it.
11:22Let's make this a tables match to just to get the people going a little bit.
11:30All right. I think we've met all of those. He's doing that.
11:35Those guys's contracts are expiring. That's fine.
11:39All right, here we go. Let's let's rock and roll with this show cost 42 grand. That's that's
11:44that's nothing. But no, it is. Yeah, it is so sad. And I, I admittedly, like we did the,
11:56we did the show the day before talking about how that era of the flames is really weird,
12:05because you have these guys who made this impact and these guys who were very good players. But in
12:10terms of like success in Calgary, there wasn't a whole lot admittedly. And so like, how do you
12:17honor that? But now with this news, like, I don't, I don't want to see anyone else wearing Johnny
12:23Goudreau's number ever again, right? Like, because that's the that that is already going to be a
12:30difficult thing. So to have another player just ripping around in Johnny Goudreau's number,
12:36I don't think makes a whole lot of sense. And so I think that that is a way to maybe
12:42do that, or at least a forever, like there should be something for sure.
12:47Name a building, a practice facility after him, or a street after him, that that's a really good
12:52call as well. Oh, Clint McDougal, who could forget about him?
12:58All right, I think we had a good show. Good booking. Great.
13:13Yeah, no, and that's, that's the thing. Like, if you're not going to use it,
13:17then what's the point of not retiring it anyway? Like, just do it.
13:24All right, so this promo wasn't very good, but it got us where we needed to get to. So that's good.
13:29Uh, plus 37. Okay, I feel like that's not going to be enough. Oof. Yeah.
13:43All right, well, we've closed that gap a little bit. And opposing brand doubled the price
13:47of their power car selected opposing round shop actually. Oh, that's
13:53annoying that they did that. Or did I get that? Whatever. All right, we got some money. That's
13:59good. Oh, that that's a really nice thought. Their deeds. I was thinking like a garden at the
14:06new facility. Good rose gardens. That's a really nice thought. I like that one.
14:14Oh, man.
14:15Yeah. Rikishi is a big part of what we're looking to do here with this,
14:18with, with our bloodline storyline that we're doing. So, uh, yes, we're doing that.
14:28Oh, absolutely not.
14:35All right, well, good. I didn't want that feud with him to be going anyway. So Andre cheated
14:38my last match. I want to rematch in the next two weeks. I can do that. Sure. Let's lock that in.
14:43Yeah, no, that that's a, um, that's good. I think that I imagine there will be some kind of a
14:49Johnny Goodrow award to like they do with the good guy award and stuff like that. Um,
14:57so I think that there will be that there will certainly be different ways that they will honor
15:03him, um, and different ways that they will do that. So no, that that's, that's a good
15:08him. Um, and different ways that they will do that. So no, that, that is,
15:13that, that is 100%. I do agree with you on that. Uh, okay. It promised Braun Strowman a rematch
15:19against steel and six for the ECW tag team titles. All right. Forgot about that. Uh,
15:25that's a little unfortunate, but that's fine. Uh, can we afford a show logistics? No, not yet.
15:29We need one more asset. God, that's annoying.
15:33Okay. Power cards. Yeah. We're not going to buy them this week because they're expensive.
15:44Good. Real player lounge is good. Yep. Um,
15:53okay. Did praise just leave like just on his own. Okay. So we're, we're not in danger of putting
16:00him in a match. He's going to win. So that's good. Uh, yeah. Good. Real players lounge is good.
16:04Like with all the stuff about Skittles and, um, and Gatorade, you could do a little, like an,
16:10a concession kiosk thing. You would want to do something more than just a little kiosk,
16:15but that is one of the things you could do for him. For sure. I would also, as long as the
16:19Wranglers are in town, I would like there, like, if we're going to do a good drill award,
16:23just thinking about it now, I would like to do something where it's like,
16:28um, a player on the Wranglers, like a, a, like heart and soul development sort of a thing
16:34with them, I think would be a really neat way of going about that. Uh, yeah. Johnny's
16:40Johnny's corner candy shop. Yeah. That that's exactly like that. Yeah.
16:46Uh, okay. So we want Braun Stroman to get a tag team title shot here.
16:52Um,
16:58rivalry on cool down. So we don't necessarily want Randy in this then.
17:06Uh, and so we'll just throw random guy X in their
17:14title match. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. Let's lock that in. There we go. Uh,
17:21okay. What was our thing this week? Ensure that your least popular available
17:25bruiser is in a match this week. You got it, dude. Who is that?
17:31Oh, it's Batista. Well, that works out really well.
17:38Uh, who, who, who we fighting?
17:45Man, we don't got a lot going on right now for, uh, for, for guys, for bruisers to fight. We
17:49kind of found that out last week, didn't we? So we'll throw them in there against Tony D and
17:55we'll just, we'll just have that be a match just to meet the commissioner goal. Uh, and now this
18:01one we're going to give Roman the week off. Do we have a no, not what I want to do. Not what I want
18:08to do. Uh, do we have a health spa card? That's what I was looking for. Yeah. So yeah, let's do
18:14that. Let's give it to Roman. Let's make sure he is ready, uh, for survivor series here.
18:25Uh, so now Kofi Kingston,
18:33let's see, there was a, we promised, uh, Jimmy a rematch against Andre the giant within two weeks.
18:38So let's do that here. Let's just take, take care of that one right now. Uh, where is he? There we
18:44go. Nope. Nope. Nope. We're not doing that. We're doing that and we're doing another interference.
18:50Same booking back to back times. So a little annoying for sure,
18:57but we will do that. And now in our opener here,
19:04I don't really have a, um, well, yeah, no, we do have a giant for him to fight. There we go.
19:09That works. Uh, stack's still a little banged up. So maybe we should give him a week off.
19:18Oh, well let's do that match then. Let's do solo against Randy Orton.
19:25And now for self promo, we don't got a lot of Mike guys, so that's,
19:32that's okay. We just want the popularity of stacks on the show, which is not something I
19:36thought I would say about this, um, about this brand, but we're rolling with it.
19:47There we go. Yeah. Let's roll rock and roll again. I don't think this is an amazing show.
19:55I feel like we had a couple of things that we kind of needed to kind of needed to ease our
19:59into a little bit, uh, before we, uh, before we got to the, the rivalry section of it,
20:05or we had a couple of rivalry sections that were close to being done and not quite done,
20:09but it's allowing us to save up some money to get to, to do a big one,
20:13do a big time at the, uh, at the pay-per-view and we get some more commercial ads at some point too.
20:20Uh, but yeah, and we talked about it before. I talked about it a little bit before on the stream.
20:24Um, but the, the WWE tributes to Johnny Goudreau last night were fantastic. And, um, I thought they
20:34did such a great job with Sammy, uh, Jackie Redman going out there and kind of capturing the moment
20:40of the situation and all of that. I thought that was really great that they were able to, to do
20:45that. And I, I just thought are a really, really nice touch. Uh, just another, a thought here on
20:51our, uh, Johnny's tribute things. Um, I think you have to do the Goudreau goal of the game,
21:02right? Like he had so many amazing highlight reel goals. I think you have to do, um,
21:09like whether it's at the arena, whether it's on social media or whatever, the Goudreau goal of
21:14the game. Um, I think that'd be a really cool segment for, for, for them to do.
21:19Oh, Sixton George, the animal steel retained. Braun Strowman injured, probably dead.
21:28Uh, okay. Let's do that. Let's do that. Good booking again. All right. Yeah. See,
21:36man, our match quality is getting just pummeled. We need to,
21:39need to step that up a little bit. That's what ECW is known for. Yeah. 35,000 fans.
21:44Isn't going to cut it and opposing. Um, oh, okay. So we got these select an opposing brand,
21:53double the cash costs of their talent scout search the next week. Perfect.
22:01That's fair. Um, yeah, the Goudreau high danger scoring chance
22:06doesn't really have the same ring to it. So that's that, that, that is fair.
22:12If you don't get a Goudreau goal of the game, then just run a clip of Johnny Goudreau, uh,
22:16scoring goals. Wow. Hurtful. Eric Bischoff. I like your podcast so much.
22:30Little disappointed, but that's on me. You held up your part. I didn't follow through. I appreciate
22:34you keeping your word though. I'm glad I joined ECW. Uh, well at the moment. All right. Good,
22:38good, good, good. Uh, things aren't working. I'm ready to tie up. Oh, perfect. Good. Cause
22:42you were in a tag team rivalry that I wanted to get rid of. So, uh, you're gone.
23:00Yeet. Matt Ben. Yeet. Love that. Yeah. Just, just me. You stay on our day one ish. That's
23:08what we're doing here. When I saw those, when they first came out before they like,
23:14and obviously you kind of knew what they meant, obviously, but like that day one ish.
23:20So yeah. Day one ish, two, three, somewhere in there. We were pretty good.
23:24It was, um, it was, it was a lot, a lot of eating last night and then walking out. A lot of people
23:30just yelling yeet, yeet all over the place. All right. That's perfect there. Let's get that.
23:40Love to see it. And we still got $300,000. Love to see it. Yeah. Uh, Matt Ben,
23:47that there was a lot, a lot of people yeeting. A lot of people yeeting yesterday.
23:59I heard, I heard it. I heard it. I knew what I said. Uh, okay. Have at least one
24:03Helena cell match this week. Good grief. What kind of TV match do you want me to have here?
24:08Yeah, it's a fun, it's a fun chant, but it's, it's kind of only fun for, um, for, for Jay.
24:17I like, I don't think it's going to be a Ric Flair woo thing or anything like that, but it is funny
24:22that they turned Jay getting bombed before a press conference into a merchandise and a big chant
24:28thing. Uh, okay. Main event. Uh, no, yeah, they're hurt. So can we,
24:37is there a way to just get rid of a, uh, a rivalry?
24:43Oh, why don't we just release wild? He's going to be a wild one.
24:46He's going to be a wild one. He's going to be a wild one. He's going to be a wild one.
24:51A rivalry.
24:55Oh, why don't we just release wild? He's going to leave anyway.
25:01Because I want to, I want to get this rivalry thing going.
25:10Holy smokes.
25:14That is a, that, that's a lot of merch. Uh, Matt, that, that's,
25:18that's, that, that, that's too much. That is too much merch. Uh, but good on them. I guess
25:23guy in front of us, uh, bought a fair amount for sure, but not, uh, not that much. Good grief.
25:28All right. Saving 32 grand, getting rid of, uh, getting rid of a guy who doesn't want to be here.
25:32Perfect. Yeah. Like that's a great question. Deeds. Is he, are we sharing the wealth here?
25:39What are we doing? Oh man. Oh, that. Yeah. The, the belts will definitely
25:47bump up that, uh, bump up that bill pretty quickly. That's fair.
25:53Okay. So we got rid of that guy. So now main event tag team titles.
26:02Yeah. I know you guys just defended last week and that's fine. Uh, but we are, we are doing this.
26:09Boom. Tag team titles. Evolution back together ish.
26:24Yeah, no, that deeds. That's a good point. If he's, um, if he's getting an oilers belt,
26:29do you really want that guy getting you merge anyway? Probably not. All right. So we have to
26:33have a hell in a cell match on this guy. 35 grand sheesh. Um, do these like anything go?
26:43All right. So that's not going to like be a blow off match. I don't want him to get hurt. I don't
26:47want him to get hurt. Yeah. What, yeah. What works in this thing? That's pretty good. Matt. That's,
27:00uh, that's, that's pretty good. That's pretty funny.
27:05All right. Let's fill out the rest of this thing first. Uh, so we want,
27:13we kind of want Roman to rest a little bit more, but we want to get Roman on the show
27:16for that popularity. So we'll get Roman on here. Get that buzzing a little bit.
27:22No, that's not what that's going to be.
27:23All right. Kofie hasn't really had a match in a little bit.
27:32Kofie, we need a bad guy. So we'll throw die Jack in there. And of course we'll do the
27:37interference. Actually, should we just do a, cause we have, Oh no, we have two shows still.
27:43So let's see. We got to get this to, uh, we, we got to get this to a four.
27:47No, absolutely not. Whoops. Wrong one. Uh, okay. There we go. And yeah, perfect. Okay. So that's
27:54that stacks is just not going to have a guy to go up against this go around, which is too bad,
27:58but that's all right. Uh, solo just goes one-on-one with Shinsuke Nakamura who's beat up,
28:06but Shin is just kind of a punching bag right now. Well, what is so last 61? Yeah. These matches
28:15is going to take a lot out of him. Stamina wise. Would you have a week to recover?
28:25So let's see. Call the ambulance. Uh, injury rehab reduces injury time by two weeks. That
28:32actually might help with Braun Strowman, but we'll, we'll get there when we need to, uh,
28:38to the moon. No, no, no. We have another health spa, so that'll help get him back.
28:45Okay. So we can, uh, we can run this one for no reason at all. We're going to do
28:54solo Sokoa inside Hell in a Cell again. Shinsuke Nakamura.
29:04Boom. Uh, and again, yeah, we don't really got the, the big giant to go up against there.
29:10So we will go. Nope. We're going to go that match. Well, yeah, we do have the giant for
29:17stacks to go up against. What are we talking about here? Get that going. And then yeah.
29:25Promo for Jimmy and uh, promo for Tony D. All right. I think that's, uh,
29:34yeah, I think that's the show. I think that's the show.
29:44I feel like we're not really hitting our stride going into Survivor Series here, but
29:47I think we'll be set up fine for the next run, which I do believe is WrestleMania.
29:54Shinsuke Nakamura. Injured for four weeks, but had an amazing match. Thank you.
29:58Oh, wow. Not much for Roman on the promo there. Okay.
30:06Dijak getting a win. Amazing match. All right. Look at you two go.
30:16Rikishi getting wins. That's putting on a great show. All right. And the people loving Tony D.
30:24Oh, and we got a new tag team champions. Oh, and no rivalry started. Interesting.
30:33God, Klemic Dougal gets me every time, man.
30:39Uh, Matt, aside from, uh, guys dropping massive amounts of, uh, money on merch,
30:47are we, uh, well, what did you think? I'm assuming you went to the,
30:50I'm assuming you went to the, like, you've been talking about SmackDown. You were at,
30:53yeah, there, um, last night. Yeah. So, um, what did you think of the show? What were,
30:59or did you go to the show? And am I just reading too much into it? Um, I guess for all of you,
31:02like who else went to, um, who else went to Raw this week here in Calgary? And what did you guys
31:08think? Cause I was just saying before I had a really, really good time. I thought it was such
31:12a fun night. Um, the, again, good booking from, um, from a WWE 2k24 standpoint where like the
31:20first match in the last match, fantastic. Um, I really enjoyed both and I thought a, um,
31:29I thought overall a really good show and honestly like a noteworthy raw too, where you get
31:34Druin and Punk confirmed for Hell in a Cell, which we kind of already thought, but still,
31:38uh, Bronson with a highlight on Braun, that's going to go around for forever.
31:42So that's pretty sweet. Um, so I, I think it was a, a noteworthy show for sure.
31:48Oh, did we gain on, um, we gain a little bit on ECW or WCW less than 60. Perfect.
32:01All right. Yeah. We're a couple thousand, a couple hundred thousand fans behind, but we can,
32:05we can make that up. Oh geez. Oh, this will be my final week here. Good to know.
32:14That's actually probably fine. Uh, 109 K honestly, man. Like I think we kind of got,
32:23I think we kind of got what we needed. You know, he won the tag team titles. They just lost them.
32:29I don't want to do a rematch thing. I got nothing for him. Let's um, yeah,
32:34we won't be renewing at this time. This'll be my final week. You got it, dude.
32:41Uh, Kelly. Okay, cool. Uh, I've been talking with Andre a lot. He had this great idea.
32:47Uh, we should, uh, team up for a tag team. I think we'd actually make an awesome tag team.
32:51Can I convince you to take a chance on us? You know what, dude? Uh, probably not going to happen
32:56because he's leaving. Um, yeah, sorry. Not going to work out. Okay.
33:07So we've been building up to Andre against Kofi for the title at the next pay-per-view
33:15and he's bailing a week before the pay-per-view.
33:18How dare you? Do not book your most popular fighter this week. Okay.
33:27All right. Um,
33:33okay. There is,
33:38there is a match that immediately ends the feud, right?
33:44Uh, with the most fall wins, extreme rules.
33:52Whoops. Nope. Not what I want to do.
33:56Uh, injury, whatever. Moralia.
34:01Three weeks injury for the loser. That checks out. That's an ambulance match.
34:04Uh, resolves any rivalries granting an additional plus 1000 fans per rivalry level resolved. Sweet.
34:18Okay. Uh, rival. Okay. That's cool.
34:30Plus 20,000 fans and the loser is removed from your brand.
34:34So it doesn't necessarily resolve the, like it, it doesn't end as like a big blow up,
34:39but it still is a, still as a thing, at least I guess. But I think we want to do,
34:47what was it? It was the, um, steel cage match. Yeah.
34:52Yeah. Let's do that title match doing it. And then, uh, we have the fixed match for this exact reason.
35:11Kofi Kingston's winning. Great.
35:16And also while we're here, I get it's 35,000, but, uh, yeah, now we're a week before pay-per-view.
35:21Let's see if we can make some of their stuff be more expensive, uh, to the moon. No. Although do we have a, um,
35:29Oh, randomly selected, huh?
35:34We'll increase after their maximum. Uh, yeah, let's do that because he,
35:38we're going to put him in a tag team title feud here. Booyakasha. Is he our only guy
35:42under 60 right now? That's great. On your roster and they immediately gained 30 ring XP.
35:48Where even is ring XP?
35:53This is definitely something I should probably know. Uh, can we sort by XP? Probably not. Hey,
35:59no. Uh, okay. Now let's just give it to stacks since he is inexplicably one of our most popular
36:05people ever. Get that boost. Uh, injury rehab. We don't need Braun to come back that quick. I don't
36:15think we can, we can let them rest a little bit. Uh, pre-match physio reduces the probability a
36:20superstar will get injured in a match.
36:25If Kofi gets hurt, that sucks, but we have enough injury rehab things that we can get them back. If
36:29it's, if it's going to be too much, uh, only usable on a, with a less than, I think we already did
36:34that already. Health spa. No. Select an opposing brand who must use a tier one arena, uh,
36:42a tier one arena, uh, cannot be used the week before a PLE. Goddamn. Uh, cannot be used the
36:48week before a PLE. Uh, well, let's do this one. And Eric Bischoff took a shot at us. So we're
36:58gonna go at him. Eat shit, sir. Scouted. Uh, and let's do, uh,
37:08ha got you roasted.
37:16All right. So we got that going.
37:19Uh, this entire show is going to be about let's try to get everyone to survive our series as
37:28healthy as we can. We are going to do a tag team call out. Uh, we are going to have it be
37:37just stacks needs the most stacks needs the break. So we're going to have these guys call out.
37:44Yeah. That's what we're going to have them do. Cause that works, right? Like that's, uh,
37:50let's just make sure that works as a, as a match first.
37:55I'm pretty sure we checked that, but I just want to be sure. Ah, fuck. Does it not really? I thought
38:00it did. Bruiser fighter, cruiserweight and specialist. Where is our, uh,
38:19I thought we could just switch this. Uh, he can use a class change promo to switch.
38:24Well, we don't really have, I don't know. We have time to make that work. We have time to
38:27make that happen. That's fine. Uh, okay. So you do that, you do that specialist,
38:33bing, bang, boom. Oh no, we're not doing an actual match for that. Boy,
38:37I am all over the place on this. Sorry guys. There we go. Oh no. Different, uh, different
38:42faction warfare. Um, yes, you'll be calling out them. That is what we are doing. And now
38:57class change. So he can write bruiser bonus class and bruisers work with our guys, right?
39:09Okay. Sorry. I know I'm being annoying about this. I just really want to make sure, I don't know why
39:13I really want to make sure like at the end of the day, I don't think it's going to be devastating,
39:17but like bruiser. Yeah. Okay. They, they, they work well. Bruisers. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
39:21Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. God. Having take team call outs on this is so much better
39:26than the last one. I don't think they made a lot of improvements to two K 24s. Uh, my GM,
39:32but, or, um, yeah, but the, the, the tag team call outs is absolutely one of them.
39:38So let's do a roll change here for, uh, no, not roll change. That would really fuck things up.
39:45Let's do a class change. Yeah. Into a bruiser. Perfect.
39:57Uh, do not book your most popular fighter this week. Well,
40:01we got to do what we got to do, Hunter. All I can tell you. Okay. So Roman, uh,
40:08let's let stacks actually, let's give him the, uh, health spa here.
40:26Okay. And so then let's do, yeah, like you guys are going to have a match. So I'd really like to
40:36avoid that you're arresting die. Jack just got a big win. So that's kind of cool, but we basically
40:45can only do that match now, given what we're looking at doing here. Yeah. I think we're
40:51going to have to have going to have to have Roman wrestle, which kind of sucks.
41:05Uh, we'll have Roman go up against die Jack here and we'll have interference from solo.
41:13So look how it needs a bit of a breather too, though. Whatever. That's fine. Honestly,
41:19we're getting them to the pay-per-view. So as long as Roman doesn't get hurt in this match,
41:22we'll be fine. Which on that note, okay. Bruiser. So that goes against the fighter.
41:30Let's go get a, uh, let's go get someone here. We can do fighter. Uh, we need them to be a guy.
41:39We need them to be a good guy. And again, we need them to be a fighter.
41:43Oh, shit. Well, yeah, we're going to do that.
41:52Uh, yeah, let's just do end of season. Let's lock that in. Boom.
41:59Well, that worked out incredibly well.
42:01That's fun. Sweet. Uh, and now yes. Boom. All right. That's a show.
42:27We got a tag team call out. We got, we probably need to build up the depth on our roster a little
42:31bit. We let a few guys go and we've, uh, we've dealt with some injuries, so we probably need to,
42:37need to build this roster out a little bit more, but I think that's all right.
42:44Just die, Jack. Please don't hurt Roman. That's all I ask.
42:53All right. People don't loving it. Rikishi gets to, oh, it's great. Good.
42:57Come on. Yes. We got a rivalry. All right. Not a great match. That's fine.
43:15George, the animal steel gets the win over CM Punk mediocre match and their arrivals. Fantastic.
43:21That might be our everything's a hardcore match match or a feud.
43:27Legendary. That's how ECW does it. Uh, yeah. Simulate show.
43:38And yeah. Simulate show. Good booking. Yeah. Good booking. That's how we do.
43:48We got to get some good fans off of that. 49 K. Okay. We can do that.
43:5238. Oh, one the week. Need a few more of those, but we got it.
44:01Happy survivor series.
44:08Oh, rest of the season. 126. Uh, I won't be renewing your contract.
44:14I have a bit of a problem. I had cost you malfunction during practice today.
44:22I'm not sure if I'm able to go tonight unless we fix it ASAP.
44:25Uh, you'll have to miss the show tonight. We can't have any slip ups during the ring
44:29rush job done for is that five K that's fine.
44:33Uh, yeah, let's do, let's do 20 K.
44:50Yes, that is a hundred percent. The plan.
44:56All right. Okay. Manage roster.
44:59Uh, Kofi has a new perk. That's great. Uh, we will go fighter class cause specialists don't get us
45:04anything. Uh, was there another one that we had? No, just that. Cool. And then show logistics.
45:12The survivor series ring for 50 grand. We will do that. Obviously.
45:29Okay. Oh, let's go.
45:35Solo viewer. What's our, uh, thing do not. I'm not going to not book my most popular whoever
45:40on a pay-per-view, sir. Idiot. So these two get it. It's a title match.
45:50Branded PLE bonus is a tables match, but these guys work in an extreme rules. So we will do that.
45:56Love it. Uh, our opener,
46:03we will do the, uh, tag team titles in a tables match.
46:12Love to see it.
46:13Uh, and then here.
46:18Yeah. Rivalry. It's going to be, uh, George, the MLC on his way out of town.
46:27I mean, there's a chance that punk doesn't lose and then he is, uh, he's not the one who gets
46:33hurt. So that works. Uh, oh yeah. Jimmy and Rikishi have to finish their rivalry off.
46:44Uh, yeah, let's do it. Just loading up this show.
46:52Making sure everyone's going to be hurt, but in our build now to WrestleMania,
46:55we're going to be doing the tag team, uh, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team,
47:02tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team, tag team.
47:05Oh, geez. We've used everybody.
47:10I'm not making it for a title. No, absolutely not. And you know what? I don't, I don't even
47:14think we're going to do this match. Uh, let's go look for a good cruiser. We're going to debut
47:18someone at survivor series. Uh, probably not someone expensive. Yeah.
47:25We're doing that.
47:35Oh yeah. Let's do Ricochet.
47:39Let's just go into the season. Perfect. Uh, and then we'll do that. And
47:49you against Ricochet main event anywhere in the country. Uh, we will have
47:55Kofi cut a promo. Oh, we can't have our injured guys do it. I thought because they popped up,
48:03we could do it. Uh, okay. Well that's fine. We don't need to, we don't need extra promos on this
48:07anyway. So it's an expensive show. Uh, we're going to have people get hurt and that's fine.
48:15Uh, we definitely want a fixed match cause that, you know, helped. Uh, we don't need that. I feel
48:21like there is a reduces the probability that a superstar will get injured in a match
48:26who is closest to you. Yeah. We don't need Roman getting hurt.
48:33And then we have another one of those here.
48:38Oh, you can only use one a week that actually checks out.
48:42Hey, you know what we will do? Um,
48:49oh man, you guys just can't see my dog is perched up on the couch now like a cat.
48:54Uh, and we will do two bit arena for them. Boom.
49:02All right. I think we're good. This is, uh, this is going to be one heck of a, uh,
49:05one, one heck of a show. I think say what you want about our TV, but God damn, do we PLE? Well,
49:17sorry. My wife just sent me an, are you okay? Text? Cause she's messaged me a couple of times.
49:20So just got to get that out there. Take team titles on the line.
49:27Oh, they did it. Tony D and stacks are champs again.
49:33Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.
49:44Tony D and stacks are champs again. Rivalry doesn't advance. That's interesting.
49:50No holds barred. Ricky. She does it in a classic Jimmy. You're so hurt for a week. That's fine.
50:02Yeah. Come on down. There we go.
50:05You something like that. Yeah. You could say that for sure. Yeah. Deeds.
50:09Oh, we got an ambulance match and we got graphics for it.
50:14George, the animal steel in his conclusion injure CM Punk for three weeks. That's a little annoying,
50:20but that's fine. Roman reigns.
50:25Roman reigns.
50:29Solos hurt for four weeks.
50:33All right.
50:41Poor opener. It was a four star match. I can't help it that the other matches were incredible.
50:49I mean, I could, I suppose that is literally the job, but still.
50:51All right. We got to get a bunch of fans off that. That was incredible. 139 K how we do.
51:00Okay. Only gained 7,000 on them and lost to raw. How dare you?
51:07And now I think we're on the push to WrestleMania. Hey, see, we're like 200,000 fans back.
51:15Oh, right. Trades. I don't really think we need to trade anyone right now.
51:22Yeah. Solo CM Punk isn't great. Also, my thought kind of was, even though he's the TV champion,
51:38my thought was built to build up to a Roman and Rikishi against Solo and Jimmy tag team feud.
51:47Um, feel like that would have been good. So that's a little unfortunate,
51:55but yeah, everyone's either hurt. I have plans for, or a champion. So we're, uh, we're good.
52:02We're going to end trading and I can't imagine there's going to be a trade. They're going to
52:05send me that I'm going to want. No, I'm not going to do that.
52:11I'll see. Traz. God, that's bad.
52:19Uh, Braun Bray, just straight up Braun Breaker for cash.
52:28Uh, man, I do like Braun Breaker.
52:32Like, I feel like we're sending them too much money though.
52:35At the same time, like we're getting, he's a rule breaking bruiser.
52:43I mean, are we going to get a guy that cheap for, yeah, no, let's do it.
52:54We'll just buy Braun Breaker from him. Let's go.
52:57On the road to WrestleMania. Here we go.
53:02Uh, oh, very Stephanie trade.
53:09Man, like Rikishi just won that feud. I feel like we should keep him around.
53:14Will you do 71?
53:17All right, great.
53:21Randy Orton definitely get one, a match that checks out.
53:27Absolutely. Yes. Uh, female matches. Well, that's, that's good.
53:32Uh, Stephanie trade.
53:35Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie.
53:39Absolutely, yes.
53:43Female matches, well that's not a thing that we have on ECW.
53:47If a superstar at or above ring level 20 wins a fatal 4-way match, the loser of the match
53:52gains 6 popularity.
53:54If a giant superstar wins, gain 40k.
53:59Sure!
54:01Oh, and we get a health spot too.
54:08Something is happening.
54:09Book your least popular available star for a match this week.
54:13Okay, well let's go see what this star is for the, uh, god that's so many people hurt.
54:25Hell in a Cell match specialist.
54:26I don't think we're ever going to do a submission match with Randy Orton.
54:32Alright, so they said, um, god I wish there was the, we need a giant to win a fatal 4-way,
54:48so let's book a fatal 4-way with every giant we have.
54:58Uh, yep.
55:04So maybe not the way to go, but that's fine.
55:06Uh, god we have so many people hurt.
55:09So maybe we wait a week on the brawn thing, and then we'll get our 40k.
55:15That probably works.
55:16And honestly, you know what, I think we've gone here long enough.
55:20It is a, it's after 5, so my wife will be home soon.
55:27So, uh, thank you guys so much for hanging out.
55:29I'm going to be doing video game streams, hopefully more frequently than I have been
55:35doing them, but yes, I have been doing the podcast live here on Twitch, so make sure
55:41you pop in tomorrow, you'll get the notification when we are going live, and I'll continue
55:48to try to work out the technological kinks, but in the meantime, thank you guys so much,
55:52and have a great day everybody.
55:56Bye.
