00:00:00Welcome to the Monday Night War on the brand new WWE 2K game.
00:00:27I am Luco in DAD representing Monday Night Raw.
00:00:31And I'm Oli Davis representing ECW Monday Night Smash.
00:00:37And this season I'm going to beat you, you little son of a bitch.
00:00:41This is my turn.
00:00:42That's what he's claiming, but I've already beaten him once.
00:00:45Can I make it a two, Pete?
00:00:48Yes, I think I probably can, but we are playing WWE's My GM Mode on WWE 2K25 and this video
00:00:56is sponsored by WWE 2K25.
00:01:00Get your copy of the game using the link in the video description down below, which includes
00:01:04the brand new Island.
00:01:07A brand new WWE themed interactive open world where players can compete quests, take on challenges,
00:01:13compete in live events and upgrade and customize their My Superstar through multiple storyline
00:01:19in chapters.
00:01:20And the story is focused around the original tribal chief, Roman Reigns, as players fight
00:01:26their way towards earning a WWE contract integrating themselves with the bloodline.
00:01:32And it's all ruled over by the giant gold Roman Reigns statue, isn't it?
00:01:36It's made of solid gold.
00:01:38I was having a little run around there earlier and I saw some players populating around.
00:01:42So it's a very cool new thing for us fans to get involved with each other and play the
00:01:47game.
00:01:48Plus there's the My Rise storyline, which is based around Kevin Owens and Bayley taking
00:01:52over NXT and rebranding it NXT Mutiny, which is a really cool story.
00:01:57And for us, it's My GM mode and of course there's even things like inter-gender matches
00:02:03and it's available now.
00:02:04Click the link in the video description down below to get your copy of the game today.
00:02:09But let's focus on My GM mode because there's some new updates to My GM mode this year.
00:02:15Some new exciting things, including, and I'm not saying that, you know, 2K watch this series,
00:02:22an in-game timer has been put into the game.
00:02:25Yeah, in-game timer so we don't have to do our lo-fi start the seven-minute countdown.
00:02:32And if we go over, it will automatically take a penalty percentage of fans off that week.
00:02:39Yeah, so if you are new to this series, the way that we used to do it is that we would
00:02:42have a seven-minute timer and if we went over it, we would include our own little power card
00:02:47so we would get like a one-minute deficit that I could play against you or you can play against
00:02:50me depending on who went over.
00:02:52Now that it's got an in-built timer, the game has got an in-built punishment system which
00:02:56is you lose fans for going over the time.
00:02:59Yeah, we had a brief run of it before this just to see how it worked and yeah, it really
00:03:04impacted, you just sat there waiting for it to run down to see what would happen and yeah,
00:03:09it chucked off like 4,000 fans off your week total.
00:03:12That's it, so I think we're going to set it to 10%.
00:03:14If you go over, you lose 10% of your fans for that week.
00:03:17You don't want more?
00:03:18What do you want to do?
00:03:19100%.
00:03:20You just get no fans?
00:03:21Yeah, if you go a second over.
00:03:22You get no fans that week.
00:03:24There's also other new match type features, there's the gauntlet matches which can affect
00:03:29contracts.
00:03:30There's a load of new cool things for us to get into.
00:03:33There's something called a gauntlet eliminator match stipulation as well which is most definitely
00:03:38the casino gauntlet match from AEW has taken up over the last year.
00:03:42I'm not saying that it is that, I'm not saying that at all whatsoever in this sponsored
00:03:47video.
00:03:48I shouldn't have said that, I should not have said that.
00:03:52Oh yeah, we should actually say as well, we're back.
00:03:56We're back everyone for a proper full season of the Monday Night War.
00:04:01We're going to be with you for the next 25 weeks and right now you can head on over
00:04:08to Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk and watch episode one of this series right
00:04:13now.
00:04:14It will be available on Monday but you can go watch it now or watch it over the weekend
00:04:17and watch the start of this new series because on Monday at Patreon.com, episode two will
00:04:22be available.
00:04:23Yeah.
00:04:24But is it time for us to get into this because the game has been expanded somewhat.
00:04:31I was listening to interviews with the developers of the game and what they've said is that
00:04:35they've upped the budget for you, so we've got $4 million this time round.
00:04:38We are going to go for max budget on this one.
00:04:40Oh, is he a jobber?
00:04:42Max budget and a signing in a couple of weeks' time.
00:04:46Very good.
00:04:47But they actually recommend you get upwards of around 20 superstars for your roster this
00:04:52time round.
00:04:53Which means we might be able to do some tag team stuff and they don't just get, they're
00:04:58just ignored.
00:04:59So I've already got my sort of strategy down, I've been working on this over the last couple
00:05:03of days.
00:05:04Yeah.
00:05:05I've got a whole section for legit tag teams, whereas before I'd have just Franken-teamed
00:05:11people together.
00:05:12I'll be honest.
00:05:13I'm going to draft some actual teams.
00:05:14I might still do the Franken-team.
00:05:15So we are going to toss a coin.
00:05:18Yes.
00:05:19Not a real coin.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21Because no one has physical cash anymore.
00:05:22No.
00:05:23We have a Google's flipper coin.
00:05:26So heads or tails?
00:05:27Heads.
00:05:28Queens for queen.
00:05:29Tails never fails.
00:05:31It's tails!
00:05:32So does that mean you're going to be player one?
00:05:35Okay, yes.
00:05:36Do you want to be player one?
00:05:37I can choose, can't I?
00:05:40So it's essentially who gets to book first and who gets to draft first, in which case,
00:05:47but we'll go snake order.
00:05:50I'm going to be player one.
00:05:52I'll set the game up.
00:05:53I don't trust you to do that.
00:05:55You have offended my family.
00:05:57But there's the other new thing for my GM mode.
00:06:00You can play it locally or play online.
00:06:04Yeah, against friends, if you've got any.
00:06:07So we're out of luck.
00:06:09We have to just pay each other to come into work and do it.
00:06:12But we are going to play locally because we are cool people.
00:06:15So we're going to add you.
00:06:17Couch Coop.
00:06:18That's what we are.
00:06:19We're a Couch Coop.
00:06:20Custom.
00:06:21It's fine.
00:06:22Add in Oliver Davis.
00:06:23Yeah.
00:06:24Are you sure you want to be ECW?
00:06:26Yep.
00:06:27Why wouldn't I want to?
00:06:28Well, I've already based it around not having as big a women's roster as everyone else.
00:06:34Because you were ECW in the Patreon series that we did.
00:06:36Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk.
00:06:38If you want to go and see the last series we did of this where we played against each
00:06:41other.
00:06:42You selected ECW, but that's because there were kind of no other brands to take.
00:06:46But you know, we've got a new NXT.
00:06:48There's NXT Mutiny as a brand.
00:06:50You can take WCW.
00:06:51There's more NXT's than there are WWE brands on this.
00:06:55There's three different NXT's.
00:06:57Or there's even 2.0.
00:06:59You know, that was Dan's old brand.
00:07:01Yeah, yeah.
00:07:02Well, can you just go to what WCW does?
00:07:06So WCW gets extended duration of all contracts currently on your roster by five weeks.
00:07:12I mean, I'm going to sign everyone to full term contracts anyway, so that doesn't really help me.
00:07:17So the benefit of ECW is that you only get three championships rather than five.
00:07:24And those championships are effectively super powered.
00:07:27So usually a title will add 10 popularity points to the title holder.
00:07:32But my guys get 20.
00:07:34Yes.
00:07:35And mathematically, I think that works out more.
00:07:38And you hate women.
00:07:39Well, I don't hate women.
00:07:40I just want them to not have championships.
00:07:43Because Oli books for stories and characters.
00:07:46There's going to be some great storylines and characters for the women's division.
00:07:50They don't need titles.
00:07:52So you're sticking with ECW then?
00:07:54Yes.
00:07:55Plus, it does make it a bit easier for me because I can then just feud more people.
00:08:00People get injured a lot with me.
00:08:03And I go to custom superstar and I'm going to add in myself.
00:08:07Of course, sticking with Monday Night Raw.
00:08:10Boo.
00:08:11And we thought, why the heck not?
00:08:14Particularly because one of the new features of 2K25's My GM mode is that pay-per-views, they're cross-brand PLEs.
00:08:22Which means we have to book matches against each other.
00:08:27And if you do it as a two-player game, then you have to book singles matches.
00:08:30But if you do it as a three-player game or a four-player game, those become triple threats and fatal four-ways.
00:08:35So let's add in some CPU GMs.
00:08:37This is going to really up the chaos.
00:08:40Yes, it will do.
00:08:41So who do we want to go against?
00:08:43Well, Ava obviously.
00:08:44Ava.
00:08:45Fierce Ava.
00:08:46Fierce Ava.
00:08:47Representing NXT.
00:08:48Of course.
00:08:49Fierce Ava.
00:08:50And who else can we have?
00:08:51We've got loads.
00:08:52We could do Bischoff with WCW.
00:08:54Is that Mr. Fuji at the bottom?
00:08:56It is.
00:08:57We could do Mr. Fuji.
00:08:58We've got Armando, Alejandro, Estrada.
00:09:02There's Sensational Sherry.
00:09:04There's Miss Elizabeth.
00:09:05Miss Elizabeth.
00:09:06Teddy Long could put him on SmackDown.
00:09:09Or, of course, CM Punk himself.
00:09:14Famed GM CM Punk.
00:09:16Yeah, is this just a way to foreshadow him taking over NXT like he wants to in a couple of years?
00:09:23It's to get you ready for it.
00:09:24I reduced the fan retention rate of all opposing brands by 3% during next week's show.
00:09:34That's because he's going to cut a pipe bomb in a press conference and damage everyone's reputation.
00:09:41Should we do it?
00:09:42Should we put CM Punk in?
00:09:43Yeah.
00:09:44CM Punk and Ava.
00:09:45Should we do the new brand as well, NXT Mutiny?
00:09:48Yep, that makes sense.
00:09:50We can, in our little fantasy-booked world, CM Punk is at war with Ava's NXT.
00:09:57And he's trying to take over because Ava is, of course, related to The Rock.
00:10:03Yep.
00:10:04Her last name is The Rock.
00:10:06Ava The Rock.
00:10:07And CM Punk is trying to defeat her.
00:10:10So, hopefully, they'll concentrate on each other.
00:10:13Because you've created a kayfabe world, you think that now they won't play any power card against us.
00:10:18Yeah, but storyline-wise, that makes the most sense.
00:10:21We are going to do some normal difficulty, which means we get two mid-card matches.
00:10:25And, here's the other new thing, win conditions.
00:10:29Previously, it was fans and Hall of Fame trophies, but you had more Hall of Fame trophies.
00:10:34That kind of overrode everything.
00:10:36But again, because 2K clearly watched this show, we're going to make it just fans.
00:10:41I think this might be one of my favourite changes.
00:10:44Yeah, mine too.
00:10:45Too easy.
00:10:46I think the layout, in general, makes everything a lot easier to track.
00:10:49That's my other favourite thing.
00:10:51We're going to do it with 4 million.
00:10:52We're going to do it snake order.
00:10:54Snake order!
00:10:55Keep the shakeups on.
00:10:56We'll do the default draft pull.
00:10:58We don't need to auto-draft.
00:11:00And we're going to start with a few match types unlocked.
00:11:05Additional matches will become available by improving your brand over time via logistics
00:11:09and choices.
00:11:10We want all.
00:11:11Start with all match types.
00:11:12All match types.
00:11:13Classic.
00:11:14There we go.
00:11:15That's classic mode.
00:11:16Lovely.
00:11:17And?
00:11:18This is the other great thing.
00:11:197 minute.
00:11:20Now, how high can you go?
00:11:21It is 100.
00:11:23I don't think we want to do 100.
00:11:26It'll really make it keep the time though, won't it?
00:11:29I think, I think 10%.
00:11:33When we did it, you just lost 3,000, 4,000 fans.
00:11:37Yeah.
00:11:38And obviously that was off of 30,000.
00:11:41Bearing in mind, like in previous, like the last couple of ones we've done with this,
00:11:44we've only won by a small margin of fans.
00:11:46Maybe those 3,000 fans might make all the difference.
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:50I think you only beat me by 5,000.
00:11:52I can't remember.
00:11:53Something like that.
00:11:54Yeah.
00:11:55I'm going to make a proposal of 20 to 25.
00:11:59A quarter of your fans were going over time.
00:12:02You know this is going to sabotage me as well.
00:12:04I just feel like 10% doesn't scare me.
00:12:07No.
00:12:08What scares you?
00:12:09Give me the controller.
00:12:10Right.
00:12:11Oh, no.
00:12:12My sunglasses.
00:12:13Okay.
00:12:14Does that scare you?
00:12:16No.
00:12:17Does that scare you?
00:12:18Not really.
00:12:19Does that scare you?
00:12:20A little bit.
00:12:21Does 15% scare you?
00:12:22Quite a bit.
00:12:23Does 20% scare you?
00:12:24Yeah, a lot.
00:12:25That scares me a lot.
00:12:26There's 25.
00:12:27I don't want to go any higher.
00:12:28Is that the max?
00:12:29I feel like that's the max.
00:12:30So I guess the question is 25 or 20?
00:12:33Let's do 20.
00:12:3425 of us.
00:12:36That is too much.
00:12:37I felt a bit weird.
00:12:39Also, my worry is that if anyone gets that, there might be that you can't come back from
00:12:46it.
00:12:47So we want to try and avoid some of that to make this as competitive as possible.
00:12:50But are you happy with those as our season settings?
00:12:52I am, yes.
00:12:53Excited.
00:12:54Right.
00:12:55Let's get into this.
00:12:56Obviously you aren't drafting first.
00:12:58Right.
00:12:59Okay.
00:13:00I've got my strategy.
00:13:01I'm a guy who likes the Giants.
00:13:05So I'm going to book a big...
00:13:07Oh, Cody's a bit cheaper than he was when we ran through the game earlier.
00:13:11Oh yeah?
00:13:12He was like $420,000.
00:13:14So that's the most expensive person on the roster.
00:13:19I'll tell you what else is also nice.
00:13:20I was listening to this interview with the developers and they pointed out that guys like
00:13:24Roman Reigns in particular was never in the draft pool, but they've tried to make
00:13:28the draft pool a bit more open now.
00:13:30So there are going to be way more superstars available to you from the off when you open
00:13:34up to get into it.
00:13:35So there are...
00:13:36You know, guys like Roman Reigns will be more readily available.
00:13:39I love a giant versus cruiser.
00:13:45You do, don't you?
00:13:47Yeah.
00:13:48And I started off with him in the previous series.
00:13:5285?
00:13:5315?
00:13:54I think that's good.
00:13:56I think that's money well spent.
00:13:58It's way better than Jimmy for $1,000 extra.
00:14:02Also, if you put the belt on Gunther, he's up to 80 of popularity already.
00:14:06Yeah.
00:14:07Yeah.
00:14:08I'm...
00:14:09The pressure of the first trade.
00:14:13Do I want to get a big monster baby face?
00:14:16Who is the...
00:14:17I'm just going to see who the top cruiserweight face is.
00:14:24Yep, it's Jey Uso.
00:14:26Hmm.
00:14:27Does that mean I will be booking the WrestleMania 41 World Heavyweight title program?
00:14:36Stax Lorenzo!
00:14:37Yeah, he is.
00:14:38There's Stax.
00:14:39He's 62, mate.
00:14:40That's better than Jimmy.
00:14:42Jey, I mean.
00:14:43Look.
00:14:44Look at the stamina.
00:14:46Oh, mate.
00:14:47Is he my first pick?
00:14:50The number one overall draft pick is Stax.
00:14:54I'm not going to muck around.
00:14:56I love me a bit of Gunther.
00:14:59He has treated me well in the past.
00:15:04Gunther!
00:15:06All right.
00:15:07A statement pick.
00:15:08Drafty the ring general.
00:15:10It'll get bigger or better for pick number one.
00:15:14And he is a G.
00:15:16He's a G.
00:15:17Stands for giant.
00:15:18Of course, yeah, yeah.
00:15:19And he's a bad guy.
00:15:21He's a heel.
00:15:22So he is a G-H.
00:15:24Yeah.
00:15:26Okay, what's your strategy?
00:15:27What are you going for?
00:15:28I'm just having a little look-see.
00:15:30I'm a bit like Johnny Five from...
00:15:33There are a lot more people this year, aren't there?
00:15:35I'm not like Johnny Five in Short Circuit.
00:15:37I can just see people really quickly.
00:15:39You stay...
00:15:40Let's heal again.
00:15:41Oh, it's nice to see NXT next.
00:15:42Is it Snake or...
00:15:43Oh, I forgot about...
00:15:44Oh, I forgot about the AA!
00:15:47Oh, God!
00:15:48I cannot believe you picked Lorenzo.
00:15:50So now it's me to meet, then it's NXT.
00:15:52What the hell?
00:15:53And now it's me.
00:15:54What have you done?
00:15:55So he's a cruiser face, right?
00:15:58Stacks.
00:15:59Mate, I couldn't turn it down.
00:16:01It was such a good...
00:16:02Like that 84 stamina, 62 popularity.
00:16:05I found him!
00:16:07I need a giant now, don't I?
00:16:09Right.
00:16:11Well, I've got the best giant.
00:16:13I think.
00:16:14Oh, that is annoying.
00:16:16Class.
00:16:17Giants.
00:16:18Oh, my God.
00:16:19So every time we choose...
00:16:21Every time I choose one, like seven people...
00:16:25One, two, three...
00:16:26Six people are going to get drafted after I've done a draft.
00:16:29Yeah.
00:16:30Oh, we're going to get Ivar.
00:16:31Look at that.
00:16:3266.
00:16:33Why don't you stay away from Ivar?
00:16:34Why?
00:16:35Oh, he's 49 popular.
00:16:36I like him as well now.
00:16:38Oh, there's not a lot of big giants in terms of like heel-wise.
00:16:42I get a Moss.
00:16:44Not very popular though, is he?
00:16:48Well, it's 55.
00:16:49He's only, you know, five...
00:16:50Yeah, I guess so.
00:16:51Where am I?
00:16:52Seven less than Stax is.
00:16:55I might get a Moss as my next hire.
00:17:00Yeah, it's a good pick.
00:17:02So actually, don't I get two picks now?
00:17:04You will do, yes.
00:17:05Right.
00:17:06Choose them wisely.
00:17:07Yeah.
00:17:08I need a top baby face.
00:17:10And now I've done my troll pick.
00:17:13So now I can look at things a bit more sensibly.
00:17:16And you always have it as the first one you do.
00:17:21Your troll pick is the first one.
00:17:24Well, it's the best one.
00:17:25It's the best time to do it.
00:17:27Okay, so class.
00:17:29Let me find a cruiser.
00:17:32I've only got baby faces here, as you can see.
00:17:35Cruiserweights.
00:17:36What have we got?
00:17:38What have we got?
00:17:39They're all...
00:17:41That's a bad way to sort.
00:17:44Ooh.
00:17:45Okay, cruiserweights.
00:17:46And I only need baby faces.
00:17:5149's Ashanti.
00:17:52That's not bad.
00:17:53That's actually pretty good as well.
00:17:54Ashanti the Adonis.
00:17:55He's got 60 popularity.
00:17:56Which is matching with Gunther.
00:17:59He's only got five in-ring skill.
00:18:03So that does affect the quality of these matches.
00:18:07Axion.
00:18:08I do love Axion.
00:18:10I love Fraxion.
00:18:12Who else is good?
00:18:14Well, Dom's a heel.
00:18:16Can't have him.
00:18:17He's not good.
00:18:18Dragon Lee.
00:18:19He's not that popular.
00:18:20Bless Dragon Lee.
00:18:21Javon Evans.
00:18:22$63,000.
00:18:23$63,000.
00:18:24Yeah, but he's 31 popularity.
00:18:26That's why.
00:18:28Look.
00:18:29Jay has...
00:18:31He's 15 in-ring skill.
00:18:35He's got the 60 popularity.
00:18:37The stamina's not there right now.
00:18:39But I can build that up when I bench him and have him cut promos for a seven-week-long build against Gunther.
00:18:45Just doing call-out promos against Gunther.
00:18:47And yeah.
00:18:48How about you, Pat McAfee, on commentary?
00:18:51I'll just have Gunther wrestle Akira Tozawa for two months to build WrestleMania.
00:18:57That's what your strategy for this is just to copy what Triple H is currently doing on Monday Night Raw.
00:19:02It's working.
00:19:03It's working.
00:19:04Sami Zayn is...
00:19:07It's 57, mate.
00:19:08That's pretty good.
00:19:09It's 74 stamina.
00:19:10It's bigger than Jay.
00:19:11And it's 15.
00:19:12And he's cheaper.
00:19:13And he's the same in ring level.
00:19:16I'm going to go...
00:19:17What's the mic skills?
00:19:19How do I see mic skills?
00:19:20Superstar Info Square.
00:19:21Superstar Info.
00:19:22Here we go.
00:19:23Four out of five.
00:19:24And what's Jay?
00:19:25Four out of five.
00:19:26I'm going Sami.
00:19:27I think that's a really smart move.
00:19:28Sami and Gunther.
00:19:29And it's you again.
00:19:30Sami Zed.
00:19:31He's a cruiser.
00:19:32And he's a face.
00:19:33He's a CF.
00:19:34So...
00:19:35Let's get...
00:19:36A...
00:19:37No.
00:19:38Because I know if I...
00:19:39I can choose a tag team in one go.
00:19:41Oh, smart.
00:19:42So if I choose a tag, one tag guy now, I know you said you've used your troll pick.
00:19:46I've done my troll pick now.
00:19:47You are absolutely going to pick the other person.
00:19:48I've done my troll pick.
00:19:49I've done my troll pick.
00:19:50I've made havoc with my OCD.
00:19:51If I can put over the new My GM mode again, listening to this interview with the developers,
00:19:56they have adjusted the AI when it comes to the draft pick order.
00:20:01So that if it puts in Montez Ford, it's more likely to also put in Angelo Dawkins.
00:20:02If it puts in Ivar, it's more likely to put in Eric.
00:20:03So that you can have these tag teams together.
00:20:04You and I, when we did it earlier, and actually, the other team is going to go to the other
00:20:05team.
00:20:06I know you said you've used your troll pick.
00:20:07I know you said you've used your troll pick.
00:20:08I've done my troll pick now.
00:20:09You are absolutely going to pick the other person.
00:20:10I've done my troll pick now.
00:20:11You are absolutely going to pick the other person.
00:20:12I've done my troll pick.
00:20:13I've made havoc with my OCD.
00:20:14If I can put over the new My GM mode again, listening to this interview with the developers,
00:20:15they have adjusted the AI when it comes to the draft pick order,
00:20:18but if it puts in Montez Ford, it's more likely to also put in Angelo Dawkins.
00:20:22If it puts in Ivar, it's more likely to put in Eric.
00:20:25So that you can have these tag teams together.
00:20:28You and I, when we did it earlier, and actually, the AI computers were more likely to draft full
00:20:33tag teams.
00:20:34We just auto-drafted it.
00:20:36We ended up with legit groups of guys.
00:20:38You had Otis and Akira Tozawa.
00:20:40You had the Viking Raiders group together.
00:20:42I think there is more of an emphasis on tag teams this year.
00:20:45Not the women's side of things.
00:20:48Of course, there are no women's tag teams.
00:20:50Well, Charlotte Flair is the top, one of the top-ranked women there.
00:20:55And she's a giant.
00:20:56You do love a giant.
00:20:57She's a giant.
00:20:58But I've got a giant dude.
00:21:00I need a top woman.
00:21:02I like Jade as well.
00:21:05But I should really go into the other classes here.
00:21:09So Bianca Belair, I like when Bianca Belair is a good shout.
00:21:13Belair is always a strong follower.
00:21:15She's only a 10.
00:21:16She's only a 10.
00:21:17Xenia Vega is 15 in ring skill.
00:21:18Of course she is.
00:21:19Have you seen her code, Rad?
00:21:20Well, if I get a bruiser, I need a...
00:21:25I could have Bianca Belair versus Asuka as my top two.
00:21:32I'm a big Asuka fan.
00:21:37Am I going with my heart there?
00:21:38Is that actually the Moneyball pick?
00:21:40Sorry, I'm taking ages to do this.
00:21:43I've just realised.
00:21:44We've got more episodes to film today.
00:21:47I'm just getting...
00:21:48I'm getting used to the pool.
00:21:50The water's fine.
00:21:52The water is fine.
00:21:53Alright, okay.
00:21:54I'm doing it.
00:21:55I'm going Asuka.
00:21:56Smart.
00:21:57Right.
00:21:58What am I doing here?
00:21:59I think I'm going to go to...
00:22:02I was hoping that I just adjust this by just popularity.
00:22:06No?
00:22:08No.
00:22:09And Asuka was a fighter heel?
00:22:13I'm pretty sure.
00:22:15Okay.
00:22:16Was she a fighter heel?
00:22:17Yeah, because Belair was a bruiser.
00:22:19So it is Cody and Roman are the two top guys in the game.
00:22:23So it's 65.
00:22:24They are huge spends.
00:22:26350,000, 400,000.
00:22:28350,000 is a bruiser.
00:22:31Big stamina.
00:22:32Big popularity.
00:22:33I think I might just get Roman, you know?
00:22:37Give me a little bruiser face.
00:22:40Roman?
00:22:41Oh.
00:22:42Roman Reigns.
00:22:43We'll come back to you, won't it?
00:22:46NXT gets Logan Paul and Mutiny gets Brutus Creed.
00:22:53And it will go back to them.
00:22:55Oh no, then it's back to Mutiny.
00:22:56Wendy Chu.
00:22:57And then it's NXT gets The Miz.
00:23:00That's fine by me, Ava.
00:23:02It is.
00:23:03Classic Ava pick.
00:23:05Now it's back to me.
00:23:07So I better look for a fighter face to go against Roman.
00:23:12I want to search this by class.
00:23:15And is it sort, draft, order, yeah.
00:23:20Popularity.
00:23:21Where's my...
00:23:22A fighter face.
00:23:24Oh.
00:23:25Class.
00:23:26Yeah.
00:23:27Why am I leaning on giants?
00:23:28What have I done wrong?
00:23:29You need fighter.
00:23:30Don't you?
00:23:31Well, maybe...
00:23:32What have I done wrong?
00:23:33What have I done wrong?
00:23:34What I do is move it to face.
00:23:35So you've just got the face ones.
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:37And then do the triangle to get class.
00:23:39And then fight.
00:23:40Then you can get there as well.
00:23:41Oh, okay.
00:23:42What have I done?
00:23:43Kieran, edit all of this bit out.
00:23:44Don't tell me what to do.
00:23:45There you go.
00:23:46Now you can find fighters.
00:23:47We're all grouped together.
00:23:48There we go.
00:23:49That's what I'm after.
00:23:50All right.
00:23:51Fighters.
00:23:52Okay.
00:23:53So I'm looking for someone who's got some big...
00:23:54Oh no, I need a heel.
00:23:55Ah, dammit.
00:23:56Dammit.
00:23:57Dammit.
00:23:58Dammit.
00:23:59I was so used to Roman being a bad guy.
00:24:16Okie dokie.
00:24:20There's Charlie Dempsey, there's Balor.
00:24:25You are booking a promotion I don't want to watch right now.
00:24:29Why?
00:24:30Look, there's Roman and then there's two guys with five in ring skill.
00:24:38Sean Spears is 51, Nakamura is 60.
00:24:41God, Sean's a bit pricey.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:45Could get Nakamura, you know, do Nakamura reigns.
00:24:50Tama Tonga, Roman reigns.
00:24:53Yeah, he's 51 popularity.
00:24:57Dude, Gorillas of Destiny, maybe he's looking at that as his next tag team pick.
00:25:02Tyler Breeze, look at Tyler Breeze, 55.
00:25:05Maybe I'm going to push Tonga lower as a singles guy.
00:25:08I might get Nakamura and I'll do Nakamura reigns as my top few to start off with.
00:25:14I think that's good.
00:25:15Nakamura is pricey, but you're getting a lot there.
00:25:17It's 60 popularity, relatively high stamina and that 20 in ring skill.
00:25:25Shinsuke Nakamura.
00:25:27I'm going to get me a tag team now.
00:25:33So let's find a tag team.
00:25:35You can't really sort by tag team, can you?
00:25:38I've just got to think.
00:25:39I could have, I don't, I've got a giant.
00:25:43I've got a giant.
00:25:45I've got, hmm.
00:25:48No, I should get someone to feud with Asuka first.
00:25:51Probably smart.
00:25:52Who was a face.
00:25:55No, fighter.
00:25:57Fighter heel, that's going to be confusing.
00:26:00So I won.
00:26:00So popularity wise, the most popular woman on the roster just so happens to pair very well
00:26:11with my top lady.
00:26:15And she's not.
00:26:15Who's the next down bruiser though?
00:26:17Bruiser.
00:26:18I need a face bruiser.
00:26:20Oh, it's, you're going for a while.
00:26:23Oh.
00:26:24Still going.
00:26:26Nikita Lyons.
00:26:28Hmm, that doesn't really work, does it?
00:26:33That'll not work for you, brother.
00:26:35So I am going to spend big on some popular people.
00:26:40Oh, she's only got ten.
00:26:43Well, it's happening.
00:26:44ECW chooses Bianca Belair.
00:26:47And it's you again.
00:26:48That is Bianca.
00:26:51And she is a, she is a bruiser.
00:26:58Space.
00:26:59Um, having, I'll just do that.
00:27:02Fig.
00:27:02Fig is now my shorthand for fighter.
00:27:05So who do I go for now?
00:27:07I need a, I need a dude.
00:27:09Got two men, two women.
00:27:12Um, do I just go for Cody?
00:27:14How much do I spend at a stage?
00:27:17You are down to 2.8 million.
00:27:19You've spent, uh, 1.2 of it already.
00:27:22And it would give me just under 2.5 million to buy 15 people.
00:27:27Which isn't that much.
00:27:29That doesn't feel like a lot, does it?
00:27:30It feels like we've spent quite a bit already.
00:27:31Yeah, I think I have spent a lot.
00:27:33I've spent a lot.
00:27:34Well, I've obviously spent over a million dollars on four people.
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:38I can't continue with that higher spend.
00:27:44So let's get some, uh, some, some, like, bargains.
00:27:53Who's high up here but doesn't cost that much?
00:27:55Ashanta, you see.
00:27:57Ashanta looks pretty good for City.
00:28:00He's been appealing to you, hasn't he?
00:28:01Because if Gunther, you know, wins out on that title feud,
00:28:03you've got a ready-made next top babyface to go into Sammy's position.
00:28:07Okay, so I'm going to think about Ashanta.
00:28:11Uh, and then who else is cheap?
00:28:14Damien Priest is pretty cheap for where he's at.
00:28:18Cruiser, Cruiser.
00:28:20We like Carrion.
00:28:21They're all quite expensive.
00:28:23Bron Breaker!
00:28:24Hello.
00:28:25Is, I'm not even going to think about that.
00:28:28A heel bruiser, Bron Breaker.
00:28:31All right.
00:28:33Let's have a look at the women.
00:28:37I think that's a steal at whatever.
00:28:39I didn't really look for the money.
00:28:41So I've also spent 1.2 on, on four people so far.
00:28:45So let's look at some ladies.
00:28:52That's the way you said it.
00:28:54I know.
00:28:54I was, um, I was looking at Jade Cargill.
00:29:00246.
00:29:01Giant.
00:29:02Why have you put stacks in your women's column?
00:29:05Oh, I have as well.
00:29:13Stacks.
00:29:13I shouldn't keep helping you.
00:29:19Um, yeah, Jade, I like Jade.
00:29:23I feel like Jade's a good option.
00:29:24There's quite a few good, uh, I need a heel cruiser, but there's a Liv Morgan right there.
00:29:29Uh, there's also, there's Alexa.
00:29:39There's more baby face cruisers.
00:29:41Maybe I need, like, a...
00:29:42It's always the way it is.
00:29:43Yeah, so my thinking is there that maybe I'm actually better off doing something like getting Nia Jax.
00:29:48Heel giant.
00:29:49And then I've got more cruisers to play around with.
00:29:52Do you want to make her tired, though?
00:29:56She's already pretty tired at 54.
00:29:58Yeah, you know, there's some promos in her world.
00:30:00There's some being called out.
00:30:07There's Lena Vega for NXT.
00:30:09Then all the good people are going to get picked.
00:30:11No, not the creeds!
00:30:14Oh, they're already kind of gone.
00:30:17And Raquel Rodriguez for NXT back to Raw.
00:30:21So let's quickly note that down.
00:30:23That is a giant heel in Nia Jax.
00:30:28Uh, and then, so I'm looking to get a cruiser lady.
00:30:32Says, EO.
00:30:34That's good.
00:30:35EO's good.
00:30:36There's Naomi, who's a bit cheaper.
00:30:40I think you want to start prioritising spend now.
00:30:43I, yeah, potentially.
00:30:46Uh, there's another big cruiser.
00:30:48Get Sol Rooker in.
00:30:51It's quite cheap.
00:30:52Tegan Nox there, though, who is a little bit more, but you get that extra in-ring IQ.
00:30:59It's Kairi Sane, which is cheaper than Tegan.
00:31:1047 is not the end of the world.
00:31:12Not massive pop is the problem.
00:31:15Pop?
00:31:15There's not a great difference in it, though.
00:31:18There's one.
00:31:19No, but what I'm talking about is, like, on the overall show, is just having someone who
00:31:24is 47 popularity.
00:31:26You know, where I could get someone who's more popular.
00:31:29Because that's always been my issue with my gem, that is, I always have people who just aren't
00:31:32very popular.
00:31:33Yeah.
00:31:33Which means they don't tend to bring in the fans.
00:31:35Uh, but I think I'm going to do Kairi.
00:31:41Yeah, I think that's a good one.
00:31:42Babyface Cruiser.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:44Now it's time for tag teams.
00:31:48Right.
00:31:49Who is a tag team?
00:31:52I've got to find some.
00:31:54I can have, can I have Finn Balor and Dominic Mysterio?
00:32:01Dominic Mysterio and Carlito?
00:32:05Who's some tag team people?
00:32:06Kofi and, and, uh, Woods?
00:32:08Yeah, I think, I think Woods is there.
00:32:10It's quite expensive, though, Kofi.
00:32:12Let's just go with cost.
00:32:14Who's the cheapest?
00:32:15Oh, can I get Fraxium?
00:32:19Giovanna, Giovanna Evans is good at 63.
00:32:22That's a, that's a bargain, man.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:24Obafemi is 95.
00:32:29Again, okay.
00:32:30Real world is separate to the game.
00:32:32I was going to say, because he's thinking.
00:32:33Don't buy people you like.
00:32:34That's what I was about to say.
00:32:35It's like, Obafemi, like, Obafemi is cheap, but he's also 39 popular.
00:32:39Yeah.
00:32:40Oh, I could get that up fast.
00:32:41Oh, yeah, I bet you could.
00:32:42Okay, so Nathan Frazier.
00:32:44I could make Fraxium with Nathan Frazier and, where's Axiom?
00:32:53Jacob Fatouz, Annie.
00:32:54Oh, he's falling into his trap.
00:32:57That's the exact.
00:32:58You see, he's the exact same class and heel alignment as Brom Breaker.
00:33:07Mm-hmm.
00:33:08And the game's telling me that's a boring match.
00:33:11But I know.
00:33:13Look.
00:33:13I want to see that match.
00:33:14And, of course, there's always, you can turn one of them babyface.
00:33:18But they're still both, the classes are bruiser, bruiser.
00:33:22Yeah, I suppose, yeah.
00:33:24Oh, Pretty Deadly were good for me last time.
00:33:28They did.
00:33:28And Specialist, they can work with a lot of people.
00:33:30Which they can.
00:33:31They can, right, yeah.
00:33:32They can in real life.
00:33:33Oh, Dragunov.
00:33:36Don't want Gallows.
00:33:38Eric and Ivar, their heels as well, though.
00:33:41I haven't seen Axiom yet.
00:33:44You know what?
00:33:46I'm going to get the boys back in town.
00:33:48Yeah.
00:33:48Kit Wilson.
00:33:52I can't believe they can.
00:33:56I think you need to keep going, boys.
00:33:57It's about here.
00:34:00Kit Wilson.
00:34:01There he is.
00:34:02And Elton Prince.
00:34:04Look at that.
00:34:04He's got his tag team in.
00:34:05My boys.
00:34:06I might be doing the same thing, you know.
00:34:07Getting a little tag team in.
00:34:10But not duplicated.
00:34:12But what tag team do I get AOP in?
00:34:23And I can see Tile of Bait there as well.
00:34:27It's a usual one for me, is to get Tile of Bait and Pete Dunne.
00:34:31Although I don't think I've seen Pete Dunne yet.
00:34:33No.
00:34:37Oh, there's Axiom.
00:34:42No, I was going to get Axiom then.
00:34:47But then I've got another babyface cruiser, which I overly need.
00:34:52I kind of need to...
00:34:55So I think I might get Aikam and Reza as a tag team.
00:35:03Yeah, so basically I'm going to press Reza now
00:35:06and hope that NXT or NXT Mutiny don't get Aikam.
00:35:10Sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious.
00:35:13So Reza is a heel bruiser.
00:35:20Aikam?
00:35:24Nope, I've put it on the wrong one.
00:35:27You're buying Reza.
00:35:28Yeah, I know.
00:35:30I'm not getting...
00:35:31Reza?
00:35:33Reza.
00:35:33Reza.
00:35:35Reza.
00:35:36Reza.
00:35:37Okay, so he's going...
00:35:41No, Tonga Loa.
00:35:44I'm going to try and sign him in the first draft.
00:35:47Picks there.
00:35:47No, no!
00:35:49They took Aikam!
00:35:51Damn it!
00:35:52Oh, no!
00:35:53Son of a beasting!
00:35:56Okay.
00:35:56Well, let's just get another bruiser heel that I can tag them together.
00:35:59Was that CM Punk that took?
00:36:01Yeah, it was.
00:36:01Oh, son of a bitch.
00:36:05That's mutiny for you, though.
00:36:06My plans are kind of already falling apart.
00:36:09Maybe I just want to get another little specialist to go along with him.
00:36:12A heel specialist.
00:36:13Not just...
00:36:14I'll franken-team them together.
00:36:15Do you know what?
00:36:16Actually, I'm not going to try and draft proper tag teams.
00:36:19I think it's a fool's errand.
00:36:21So...
00:36:22Pat McAfee's a baby-based, is he?
00:36:26He's cheap, though.
00:36:30I could do Obafemi and Reza as my bruiser heel.
00:36:36And then get a couple of fighters and bruises to go against them.
00:36:39That's good.
00:36:40Yeah, I'm going to get Obafemi, who is a bruiser...
00:36:44A heel bruiser.
00:36:47Oba!
00:36:47And then I need to get some more women in the next round.
00:36:52Okay, so let's go for...
00:36:54What are we looking like for an expensive tag team?
00:37:00My God.
00:37:02Kevin Owens is a baby-face bruiser here.
00:37:08He...
00:37:08Oh...
00:37:10Got Sammy as well.
00:37:13Could I get him?
00:37:14And then they double up as a tag team.
00:37:17And then come halfway through the series.
00:37:22Do I turn Kevin Owens' heel?
00:37:25I can't help myself, Luke.
00:37:27I can't help myself!
00:37:29Kevin Owens' face bruiser.
00:37:31It's a good choice, man.
00:37:31It's a good choice.
00:37:32Can't emphasise enough how big a get he is.
00:37:35So he's a bruiser, face...
00:37:38I need a heel fighter.
00:37:39That's...
00:37:41That means...
00:37:44And I'm going to go for someone who's a little cheaper.
00:37:49So heel fighter, Charlie Dempsey.
00:37:51Hmm.
00:37:53I like the look of Charlie Dempsey.
00:37:55Mm-hmm.
00:37:56I'm thinking about that.
00:37:57Lexus King.
00:37:59Also relatively cheap.
00:38:00He's a good cheapo one.
00:38:01Have we got any more heel fighters?
00:38:10Heel fighters.
00:38:13Again, a bit pricey now.
00:38:14So this will be...
00:38:15There he goes.
00:38:15Tamatonga.
00:38:18Tamatonga.
00:38:20Anyone else?
00:38:22More up?
00:38:22Sean Spears.
00:38:23I don't want to sign Sean Spears.
00:38:24It's no offence.
00:38:25And then Carlito is $266,000.
00:38:32He's got 15 in-ring IQ.
00:38:36And he's 56 popularity.
00:38:38Considering that the top one's like 62.
00:38:42I think Carlito's a pretty good deal there.
00:38:50Do I really want my feud?
00:38:52My secondary main event feud to be Kevin Owens versus Carlito?
00:38:56It's an option, man.
00:38:57It's an option you could do.
00:38:59I need to get some specialists after this.
00:39:01Yeah, I'm kind of thinking as well.
00:39:02Actually, I need women first.
00:39:07I'm going to go.
00:39:08Yep, Carlito it is.
00:39:10Heel fighter.
00:39:11Alrighty-ho.
00:39:12Okay, so let's go.
00:39:13Women.
00:39:15Searching via the cost.
00:39:17Because what I'm thinking is for my women's tag team championships,
00:39:23I could do some, you know, I could get Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend,
00:39:29put them, you know, that tag team together.
00:39:34Because what I'm thinking is for the women's tag team championships
00:39:36is that you can just bring in some cheap goods
00:39:38and then they can be upped by the tag titles themselves.
00:39:41Yep.
00:39:42I don't have that benefit on my show.
00:39:43You do not have that, do you?
00:39:45I just need popular women already.
00:39:47So if I got Jakara Jackson, who is a babyface fighter.
00:39:51Oh, I can't do Jackson and Legend.
00:39:53They're...
00:39:53Oh, they have the right alignments.
00:39:55That's okay.
00:39:57So I could do a fighter and bruiser therein,
00:39:59and then I can get another fighter and bruiser on the babyface side of things,
00:40:01which actually fleshes out that division somewhat.
00:40:04So I might do that.
00:40:05I'm going cheap for the moment,
00:40:07just to fill out my roster a little bit.
00:40:09So I'm going to get Jakara Jackson,
00:40:12who is a babyface fighter.
00:40:15They are the wrong alignments.
00:40:16Damn!
00:40:17I thought they were.
00:40:24So, instead do I do someone like Lola Weiss or Electra Lopez?
00:40:31Do I get a JC Jane as a Cora Jade?
00:40:35Blair Davenport is a classic MyGM signing.
00:40:38No longer with the company.
00:40:42No.
00:40:43Isle of Dawn's there also no longer.
00:40:46Chelsea Green!
00:40:47I could get Chelsea.
00:40:48Chelsea was so good for me last season.
00:40:50She was so, so great for me.
00:40:52And I think Piper's around as well.
00:40:54Piper's always good.
00:40:55Piper's always good.
00:40:56I might get Chelsea Green, who is a heel fighter.
00:40:59Chelsea Green.
00:41:05And if I can get Piper Ace, if not, it is not the end of the world.
00:41:10CM Punk is definitely signing Piper.
00:41:12Well, actually, even if I don't get Piper,
00:41:13because that's just another giant that I don't really need.
00:41:17But yeah, I'm going to get Chelsea Green,
00:41:19because Chelsea's always a great signing for me.
00:41:20So now we could start the game.
00:41:49We can be, yes.
00:41:50The game has said, hey, you've got enough people.
00:41:53Yeah.
00:41:53But we've still got $2 million left.
00:41:56Yeah.
00:41:56I'm going to try and fill out my roster a little bit.
00:41:59I don't have a lot of face bruises left, unfortunately,
00:42:03by the looks of things.
00:42:04It's Ivy Nile.
00:42:05When was she a face?
00:42:07I guess sometimes that's a random thing they do.
00:42:11And that's kind of, that's pretty much it.
00:42:12It's everyone else is a heel,
00:42:14so I guess I'm going to get Ivy in.
00:42:15And let's say we bring in some specialists.
00:42:17I could bring in, like, a Gigi Dolan or a,
00:42:21here's another face specialist, Natalia.
00:42:27Natalia's always there.
00:42:28Natalia is, and there's a Bailey.
00:42:30Bailey's a classic, but she's quite expensive.
00:42:33So let's look at this little cheaper option I've got here.
00:42:36Specialist, I might do Gigi.
00:42:53Yeah, maybe I'll do Gigi Dolan.
00:42:56Or do I?
00:42:58Because Chelsea Green is a heel fighter.
00:43:02Do I get another?
00:43:02Not going for Piper?
00:43:07What happened to Piper?
00:43:09Well, I said that, like, I've got another,
00:43:10that's just, I know she's actually not part of the draft pool anyway.
00:43:12She's not there, yeah.
00:43:15Or she might have been drafted by someone else,
00:43:16but I don't think she's just part of the draft pool.
00:43:21I didn't really think that one through, I don't think,
00:43:23in terms of getting Chelsea Green.
00:43:26Now that I think about it.
00:43:28But I might bring in Gigi.
00:43:29I'm going to do Gigi Dolan as a babyface specialist.
00:43:33She's got a lot of energy.
00:43:3580 stamina.
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:40I need to flesh out my so-called midcard,
00:43:43which has,
00:43:44because right now, in my little thing,
00:43:46I've got Carlito as a main eventer.
00:43:50That never even happened in his glory days.
00:43:53Right, so I want a fighter face.
00:43:58A face fighter.
00:44:00So I've got Eddie Thorpe there.
00:44:02I don't want Eddie Thorpe.
00:44:04Trick Williams.
00:44:05Ooh.
00:44:07He's good at 104,000.
00:44:10Trick Williams, Brom Breaker.
00:44:14Sorry, I'm not paying attention to you, sorry.
00:44:17Okay, you're doing your own thing.
00:44:18Doing my own thing.
00:44:18Who else is a face fighter?
00:44:21Andrade.
00:44:22He's,
00:44:23how much better is he than,
00:44:24than Trick Williams?
00:44:29Trick Williams.
00:44:2942 popularity.
00:44:30Decent stamina.
00:44:32Only five in ring IQ,
00:44:33but I can work on that.
00:44:35Currently,
00:44:36Trick is my boy.
00:44:39But are there any other face fighters
00:44:41who take my fancy?
00:44:44There is Akira Tozawa
00:44:45at $205,000.
00:44:47Now,
00:44:4950 popularity isn't bad.
00:44:51And he's got the 15 in ring IQ.
00:44:54And maybe I'm drafting
00:44:56Dragon Gate Akira Tozawa.
00:44:59Yeah.
00:45:00To go against Brom Breaker.
00:45:02Mm-hmm.
00:45:02I like it.
00:45:04And then,
00:45:06is there any more face fighters?
00:45:08Dexter Loomis.
00:45:11No,
00:45:11I'm going to go
00:45:12Akira Tozawa,
00:45:14controversially.
00:45:15Oh,
00:45:15I've just seen how little money I've got.
00:45:17Um,
00:45:18yes.
00:45:20Akira Tozawa,
00:45:21fighter face.
00:45:25Fighter face.
00:45:28And let's get some ladies.
00:45:31So,
00:45:31I think I want popularity.
00:45:33Because I can't put a title on them
00:45:37to boost that popularity stat.
00:45:40So,
00:45:41I've got a,
00:45:42I've got a heel,
00:45:43I've got a face.
00:45:44Let's say I need another face
00:45:46to get the three-way stuff going.
00:45:48Um,
00:45:49so,
00:45:49a face specialist would be good.
00:45:52Bailey's always solid.
00:45:54Who's the next specialist baby face?
00:45:58Natalia.
00:45:59Do I want Natalia on my roster?
00:46:03She is 192.
00:46:05She is...
00:46:05I bet Piper Niven.
00:46:06Piper Niven was there.
00:46:07She is
00:46:08almost
00:46:09100,000 cheaper.
00:46:14Hmm.
00:46:14And who's the next specialist down
00:46:17who's a face?
00:46:19I think I might just have to get Natalia.
00:46:23Yeah,
00:46:24these are all not,
00:46:24these aren't popular enough.
00:46:26I'm going Natalia.
00:46:27It's happening.
00:46:28She's making history once again.
00:46:30She's a specialist face.
00:46:32Okie-tokie.
00:46:36Alright,
00:46:36someone's making a note for something.
00:46:38So,
00:46:38Oba Femi is,
00:46:39I was right.
00:46:42Oba.
00:46:43Hmm.
00:46:44So,
00:46:44I could do it some
00:46:45face fighters
00:46:47as well.
00:46:50Uh,
00:46:51yeah,
00:46:51I could do some face fighters
00:46:52who are dudes.
00:46:55Uh,
00:46:56so that's an
00:46:57Eddie Thorpe.
00:47:02He's pairing up with
00:47:03Rezar and Oba Femi there.
00:47:04Yeah,
00:47:04that's what I'm thinking.
00:47:07Um,
00:47:09yeah.
00:47:09Good deal,
00:47:10$88,000.
00:47:13Now,
00:47:13we also want some money
00:47:14left over.
00:47:15Yeah,
00:47:16but I'm alright though
00:47:16because I've got two,
00:47:17I've got two mil.
00:47:18I think you've got something
00:47:19like 1.2 left.
00:47:20Yes.
00:47:21So,
00:47:22I'm still,
00:47:22I'm sitting pretty at the moment.
00:47:24So,
00:47:25I might get
00:47:25Eddie here.
00:47:27And
00:47:31NXT selects
00:47:33Liv Morgan.
00:47:34NXT Mutiny
00:47:35selects
00:47:36Karrion Kross.
00:47:38NXT Mutiny
00:47:38selects
00:47:39Andrade.
00:47:41And
00:47:41NXT selects
00:47:43Jade Cargill.
00:47:44Hmm.
00:47:45And I
00:47:45am going to be
00:47:46selecting
00:47:47Trick Williams.
00:47:49You already knew.
00:47:49Damn you!
00:47:51Trick.
00:47:54Okay,
00:47:55I'm going to get
00:47:56another lady
00:47:57I'm just
00:48:00going to get
00:48:00a lady
00:48:01anything.
00:48:02I'm going to get
00:48:03a lady heel.
00:48:04Lady heel
00:48:05with
00:48:07a decent
00:48:08popularity.
00:48:11Let's go
00:48:11from the bottom
00:48:12and see where I end up.
00:48:15How much do I want to be?
00:48:161.2 million.
00:48:18You're right.
00:48:19Fighter.
00:48:21So,
00:48:21a fighter
00:48:22could pair off
00:48:24what
00:48:24my other face
00:48:25is Bianca
00:48:26so a fighter
00:48:29could pair up
00:48:30with her.
00:48:31Electra Lopez
00:48:32or
00:48:33Keanu James.
00:48:35Keanu James
00:48:36isn't as popular.
00:48:39Ah,
00:48:40everyone else
00:48:41gets a bit too expensive
00:48:42for me right now.
00:48:45Well,
00:48:45Cora Jade's not
00:48:46too,
00:48:46too bad there.
00:48:49But I don't want to,
00:48:50yeah,
00:48:51I'm going to go.
00:48:53Wait,
00:48:53how much
00:48:54in-ring experience
00:48:55did Electra Lopez have?
00:48:57The same.
00:48:58I'm going to go
00:48:59for Cora Jade.
00:49:01It's you again.
00:49:02It's me again.
00:49:05Cora Jade
00:49:06was a
00:49:08fighter
00:49:10heel.
00:49:12So now I'm going to
00:49:13carry on
00:49:14with my mid card.
00:49:15need a,
00:49:17let's get a guy.
00:49:20Now,
00:49:23who,
00:49:23who's around
00:49:25the 50 popularity
00:49:26mark
00:49:27that's a bargain?
00:49:29Solo Cora
00:49:30is only
00:49:30188,000.
00:49:33So he's got
00:49:33five in-ring IQ.
00:49:35Oh,
00:49:35mate.
00:49:36Even the game
00:49:37doesn't respect
00:49:37the final two.
00:49:40Okay.
00:49:41And some people
00:49:41think this game
00:49:42is made up.
00:49:42Montez Ford
00:49:44specialist.
00:49:45He could be
00:49:45a good'un.
00:49:48185.
00:49:48Sean Spears is
00:49:49right there
00:49:49for you,
00:49:50bud.
00:49:50I could get.
00:49:51You can get
00:49:51the street profits.
00:49:52I could get
00:49:52the street profits,
00:49:53but I've only got
00:49:54one pick this time
00:49:55round.
00:49:55Oh,
00:49:55there's Pete Dunn.
00:49:56Oh,
00:49:56he is there.
00:49:57Hi,
00:49:57Pete Dunn.
00:49:58Johnny Gargano
00:49:58is too expensive
00:49:59for me right now.
00:50:01Bronson's good
00:50:02at that price.
00:50:04Polo Cruz,
00:50:05Cruiserweight,
00:50:06Axiom.
00:50:07Dragon Lee,
00:50:12Cruiserweight,
00:50:13Cruz del Toro.
00:50:15I'm just saying
00:50:15names now.
00:50:19Cruz del Toro
00:50:20could work
00:50:20with my giant...
00:50:22I'm going to get
00:50:22a special...
00:50:23I need specialists.
00:50:24I think it's foolish
00:50:26to not go in that
00:50:27direction.
00:50:28I'm going
00:50:29Montez Ford.
00:50:30All right.
00:50:32So,
00:50:33let's go to the
00:50:33women here.
00:50:35So,
00:50:36I did think
00:50:36there was not
00:50:37a lot of face
00:50:37fighters.
00:50:38I can get
00:50:38like a Lola Weiss
00:50:39in.
00:50:40I might just do
00:50:41Lola Weiss,
00:50:41you know,
00:50:42so I can then
00:50:42have a face
00:50:43fighter option.
00:50:49And just
00:50:50only 63k.
00:50:55NXT gets
00:50:56Andre Chakes.
00:50:57Don't you dare
00:50:58pick Angelo Dawkins.
00:50:59Nutini gets
00:50:59Mark Coffey.
00:51:01CM Punk,
00:51:02don't you dare.
00:51:02Nutini gets
00:51:03Dexter Loomis
00:51:04and NXT gets
00:51:05Brooks Jensen.
00:51:07So,
00:51:08do I get
00:51:11a bruiser
00:51:12heel?
00:51:12Don't worry,
00:51:13I'm not going
00:51:13to take Dawkins
00:51:14from you.
00:51:15I feel like
00:51:15you're setting up
00:51:16that you are
00:51:17going to take it.
00:51:17I'm not just
00:51:18going to take
00:51:18Angelo Dawkins.
00:51:20I'm just not
00:51:20going to...

00:51:29I can see you
00:51:30searching for him.
00:51:30I'm not going
00:51:31to do it.

00:52:21He was a
00:52:24face
00:52:25bruiser.
00:52:27Cool,
00:52:27and they can,
00:52:28you know,
00:52:28they don't always
00:52:28have to be a
00:52:29tag team.
00:52:29They can do a
00:52:30little run.
00:52:32Okay,
00:52:32so I've got
00:52:33two tag teams.
00:52:35Three,
00:52:35if you include

00:52:40only have

00:52:46two,
00:52:46I wanted
00:52:47six more

00:52:49only spend
00:52:50a hundred,

00:53:03Nathan Frazier?
00:53:05Nathan Frazier
00:53:06and Axiom.
00:53:07I think that's
00:53:09a good shout.
00:53:11But they'll
00:53:12still be too
00:53:12much for me,
00:53:13won't they,
00:53:13together?
00:53:14They're still
00:53:15breaking my
00:53:15bank slightly.

00:53:34here.
00:53:37Have I got
00:53:38loads of
00:53:38faces?
00:53:41I think I've
00:53:42got way more
00:53:42faces than I've
00:53:43got heels.
00:53:47Did someone
00:53:48just draft

00:53:50here.
00:53:51You did.
00:53:51He gets
00:53:51Fallon Henley.
00:53:53Cody Rhodes was
00:53:54like your
00:53:54sixteenth round
00:53:55draft pick.
00:53:56Maxine Dupree
00:53:57for Mutiny
00:53:57and Charlie

00:54:02much money

00:54:05like four hundred
00:54:06ground on Cody
00:54:06Rhodes.

00:54:09more than me.
00:54:10More.
00:54:11Yeah.

00:56:37have to go.
00:56:37I'm in the
00:56:39filler stage
00:56:39now.
00:56:41And I do
00:56:42need some
00:56:42heels.
00:56:43So I'm
00:56:43going to go
00:56:44Wolfgang

00:56:47Thank you
00:56:48very much.
00:56:48Right,
00:56:48so I've
00:56:48got 800,
00:56:51say 850
00:56:52grand.
00:56:54So,
00:56:55maybe I want
00:56:56to go back
00:56:56to the cheapos
00:56:57again.
00:56:57Let's have
00:56:57a look
00:56:58to the cheapo.
00:56:58Jeez,
00:56:59last time I
00:57:00really concentrated
00:57:01on getting
00:57:02specialists.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:04And I
00:57:04haven't done
00:57:06that.
00:57:07One,
00:57:08two,
00:57:08I've got
00:57:08pretty deadly
00:57:10a specialist.
00:57:11Ford's a
00:57:11specialist.
00:57:12That's three
00:57:12specialists.
00:57:15And that's
00:57:15all I've
00:57:16got in my
00:57:16men's.
00:57:19It'd be so
00:57:20much better
00:57:20if there was
00:57:21intergender
00:57:22wrestling all
00:57:23the time.
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:25It's like
00:57:26Lucha Underground.
00:57:28It's annoying
00:57:28as well because
00:57:29there's quite a
00:57:30lot of heel
00:57:30cruisers,
00:57:32but I've only
00:57:32got Charlotte
00:57:33Flair as
00:57:34an option
00:57:34as a
00:57:35babyface
00:57:35giant,
00:57:36I think.
00:57:37And that's
00:57:38slightly out of
00:57:39my price
00:57:39range because
00:57:39I just
00:57:40went fairly
00:57:40big.
00:57:42Next pipe
00:57:42in is a
00:57:42heel.
00:57:43I don't
00:57:43really,
00:57:44because I've
00:57:44got Naya
00:57:46so I don't
00:57:46really need to
00:57:46bring in
00:57:46another giant
00:57:47heel.
00:57:48And there's
00:57:49so many
00:57:49cruisers,
00:57:49maybe I just
00:57:50want to get,
00:57:50I just get
00:57:51some more
00:57:51fighters and
00:57:52bruisers.
00:57:54You know,
00:57:54if I can get
00:57:54a bruiser
00:57:55fighter,
00:57:55you know,
00:58:00bring in
00:58:00like a,
00:58:01so I've
00:58:02got a
00:58:02babyface
00:58:02bruiser
00:58:03option,
00:58:03like slot
00:58:04left.
00:58:06I could
00:58:07bring in
00:58:07another
00:58:07heel

01:03:06I've got a
01:03:07tag division,
01:03:07a mid card

01:03:10Carlitos

01:03:11because I was
01:03:12pairing him

01:03:14Right,
01:03:15I like

01:03:16I've got
01:03:17two men.
01:03:17I need a
01:03:18heel.
01:03:19So Lexus
01:03:20King
01:03:20is in
01:03:23my
01:03:23budget
01:03:23quite
01:03:24nicely.
01:03:26The
01:03:26next one
01:03:27is
01:03:27Grayson
01:03:29Waller
01:03:29who is
01:03:30out of
01:03:30my
01:03:30budget.
01:03:31So I'm
01:03:31just going
01:03:32to make
01:03:32one more
01:03:33signing.
01:03:34It's going
01:03:34to be
01:03:34Lexus
01:03:35King
01:03:35and he
01:03:39is a
01:03:40heel
01:03:40fighter.
01:03:43Hmm.
01:03:44God,
01:03:48that doesn't
01:03:48work.
01:03:51You might
01:03:52have to
01:03:53turn baby
01:03:53face,
01:03:53but then
01:03:54I've got
01:03:54too many
01:03:55baby faces
01:03:55and that
01:03:57will leave
01:03:57me with
01:03:58$119,000
01:04:01in the pot
01:04:02to run
01:04:03my shows
01:04:04and I
01:04:05would end
01:04:06with 19
01:04:07talent
01:04:07and I
01:04:09was aiming
01:04:09for 20.
01:04:10That is
01:04:14me
01:04:15done.
01:04:16Right,
01:04:16so I've
01:04:16got $450,000
01:04:18left.
01:04:23Do you
01:04:24need a
01:04:24man or
01:04:24a woman?
01:04:25Well,
01:04:25I've
01:04:25actually
01:04:26got,
01:04:27I mean,
01:04:27technically,
01:04:28if I've
01:04:29got two
01:04:29women,
01:04:30that would
01:04:30be 10
01:04:31and 10.
01:04:34But the
01:04:34real question
01:04:35is,
01:04:35do I
01:04:35actually
01:04:36need
01:04:37them?
01:04:40Because
01:04:42what I
01:04:43could do
01:04:43here
01:04:44is I
01:04:46could
01:04:46cash out
01:04:46and start
01:04:48the game
01:04:49with $450,000.
01:04:52Do you,
01:04:53I always feel
01:04:53like signing
01:04:54people in the
01:04:55scouting thing,
01:04:56you've got to
01:04:56pay for
01:04:57scouting.
01:04:57Yeah,
01:04:58but I feel
01:04:58like it's way
01:04:58more expensive
01:04:59than just
01:04:59getting them
01:05:00up front.
01:05:00Well,
01:05:01I was thinking
01:05:01less of like,
01:05:03like if I
01:05:03buy a sofa,
01:05:04you're getting
01:05:04people on
01:05:05finance with
01:05:06a high
01:05:06interest rate.
01:05:07I'm not
01:05:08sort of
01:05:08about getting
01:05:09name styles
01:05:09and thinking
01:05:10like,
01:05:10you know,
01:05:10local talent
01:05:11I could fill
01:05:11my roster
01:05:12out with.
01:05:12I like
01:05:13building up
01:05:13the local
01:05:14talent.
01:05:15Because the
01:05:15only other
01:05:16thing I could
01:05:16think of
01:05:17doing,
01:05:18and I don't
01:05:18hate this
01:05:19as an idea,
01:05:20is bringing
01:05:21in Charlotte
01:05:21Flair.
01:05:24And turning
01:05:24her heel
01:05:25right away.
01:05:26Well,
01:05:26I've already
01:05:26got,
01:05:26I've already
01:05:27got,
01:05:27I've already
01:05:27got,
01:05:28Who does
01:05:28she match
01:05:29with?
01:05:29Because you've
01:05:29got a baby
01:05:30face cruiser
01:05:30in Kyrie.
01:05:30Well, that's
01:05:30it,
01:05:31I've got a
01:05:32baby face
01:05:32cruiser,
01:05:32I haven't
01:05:33got another
01:05:33heel cruiser,
01:05:34so I'd have
01:05:34to bring
01:05:35in a heel
01:05:35cruiser,
01:05:37and it's
01:05:37like,
01:05:38is that
01:05:38actually,
01:05:39is that
01:05:39all worthwhile?
01:05:40Is it
01:05:40worth me
01:05:41doing it?
01:05:41Is it
01:05:42worth it?
01:05:42Can you
01:05:43even hear
01:05:44me?
01:05:45Like,
01:05:46I just
01:05:46don't,
01:05:47I don't
01:05:48think I'm
01:05:48actually
01:05:48gaining
01:05:48anything
01:05:49by doing
01:05:49this.
01:05:50Why do
01:05:50you want
01:05:51Charlotte?
01:05:52Because she's
01:05:52popular,
01:05:54like,
01:05:54you know,
01:05:55because I'm
01:05:55looking at
01:05:55some extra
01:05:56popularity.
01:05:57Because at
01:05:57the moment
01:05:57I'm at
01:05:58like 62,
01:05:5955,
01:05:5965,
01:06:0060,
01:06:0055,
01:06:01and then I
01:06:01get into
01:06:01some 40s
01:06:02and some
01:06:0230s,
01:06:03and then
01:06:04I've got
01:06:04some big
01:06:05hits towards
01:06:05the end
01:06:06in Cody
01:06:06and AJ.
01:06:07I think
01:06:08Bailey's a
01:06:08better purchase
01:06:09for you.
01:06:11She's only
01:06:11two popularity
01:06:12less,
01:06:13same price,
01:06:14specialist,
01:06:14can work
01:06:15with anyone.
01:06:15And she's
01:06:16a baby face.
01:06:17And she's
01:06:17actually got
01:06:17five more
01:06:18in-ring IQ.
01:06:21I would have
01:06:21bought Bailey.
01:06:22I would have
01:06:23bought her
01:06:23if I didn't
01:06:24spend all my
01:06:25money.
01:06:26So Bailey
01:06:26has a
01:06:26285,
01:06:27I might do
01:06:28that and
01:06:28then call
01:06:29it quits.
01:06:31Just bringing
01:06:31in as a
01:06:31baby face
01:06:32specialist.
01:06:34What can
01:06:35I do
01:06:35with her?
01:06:37I'm sure
01:06:37I can find
01:06:37something for
01:06:38her to do.
01:06:40I'm bringing
01:06:41you in for
01:06:42some popularity
01:06:42Bailey.
01:06:43And plus,
01:06:44you are my
01:06:45girl.
01:06:46Yeah,
01:06:46let's do it.
01:06:46I'm going to
01:06:47bring in
01:06:47Bailey and
01:06:47then I'm
01:06:48done.
01:06:49So NXT
01:06:49brings in
01:06:50Pat McAfee
01:06:51and Mutiny
01:06:52brings in
01:06:53Carmelo
01:06:54Hayes.
01:06:55Mutiny then
01:06:56brings in
01:06:57JC Jane
01:06:58and NXT
01:07:00is cashing
01:07:02out.
01:07:03Right.
01:07:04Look at
01:07:04that roster.
01:07:05The Miz,
01:07:05Logan,
01:07:06Paul,
01:07:07Tonga
01:07:08lower.
01:07:10Great job,
01:07:11Ava.
01:07:13Best GM
01:07:14in the

01:07:21There you
01:07:22are.
01:07:22Look at
01:07:22that.
01:07:23Look at
01:07:24the stacks

01:07:24reigns.

01:07:25belong next
01:07:25to each
01:07:25other,
01:07:26don't
01:07:26they?
01:07:26I think
01:07:27I've got
01:07:27to do
01:07:28the same
01:07:28haven't I?
01:07:29So that's
01:07:30me.
01:07:30I'm
01:07:30stopping
01:07:31ending
01:07:31the
01:07:32draft.
01:07:35There we
01:07:35are.
01:07:36There's the
01:07:36gang.
01:07:37There's some
01:07:38pretty strong
01:07:38names in
01:07:39there.
01:07:39I like
01:07:40the look
01:07:40of that.
01:07:41That's a
01:07:41good episode
01:07:43of Raw
01:07:43right there.
01:07:45So let's
01:07:46see if

01:07:47also
01:07:47ending.
01:07:48No,
01:07:48they're also
01:07:49picking up
01:07:49Javon
01:07:49Evans.

01:07:50good
01:07:51signing.
01:07:51Stegas

01:07:51100
01:07:52grand
01:07:52left.
01:07:52And
01:07:52now
01:07:53they're
01:07:53ending.
01:07:55CM
01:07:56Punk
01:07:56stealing
01:07:56away
01:07:57Aiken
01:07:57from
01:07:57me.
01:07:59He's got
01:07:59the
01:07:59good
01:07:59brothers
01:08:00and
01:08:00Randy
01:08:01Orton.
01:08:01Yeah,
01:08:02me and
01:08:02Randy,
01:08:02we're best
01:08:03friends now.
01:08:04And there
01:08:05it is.
01:08:06Those are
01:08:06the brands.
01:08:10I've got,
01:08:11you know,
01:08:12it feels
01:08:13weird.
01:08:13This is the
01:08:13first time
01:08:14where we've
01:08:14kind of had
01:08:15the option
01:08:15to draft
01:08:16so many
01:08:17people.
01:08:18I almost
01:08:18found it
01:08:19overwhelming.
01:08:20Yeah,
01:08:20I,
01:08:21because you
01:08:22can't make
01:08:23as many
01:08:23mistakes with
01:08:24fewer options
01:08:24generally.
01:08:25And I
01:08:26feel like
01:08:26I've made
01:08:27more mistakes
01:08:27because I've
01:08:28got very
01:08:28few specialists.
01:08:30Yeah.
01:08:30And what
01:08:31worked for me
01:08:32early on last
01:08:33time was just
01:08:34getting giants
01:08:36and cruisers.
01:08:37And I've got
01:08:37like eight
01:08:38feuds written
01:08:39down that I
01:08:40want to start
01:08:41and like run
01:08:41with.
01:08:43That feels
01:08:43like I've
01:08:43got too
01:08:44much.
01:08:45I think
01:08:46you're
01:08:46completely
01:08:47right.
01:08:47I totally
01:08:47agree.
01:08:47Having more
01:08:48options means
01:08:49that I don't,
01:08:50I feel like
01:08:50I'm less
01:08:51in control
01:08:51of my
01:08:52roster at
01:08:52the moment.
01:08:54In an
01:08:54exciting way.
01:08:55It should
01:08:55do us
01:08:55good though
