Transcript

00:00Welcome to the Monday Night War, I am Luco and D.A.D representing Monday Night Raw.

00:27And I'm Oli Davis, representing ECW.

00:31Monday Night Smash, as in Smash U, after you've just beat me in the last series.

00:40Yes, I'm coming for no victory.

00:44And I'm going to beat you with no stopping.

00:50With my better grasp of spreadsheets.

00:53What?

00:55No, you won't.

01:00We are playing MyGM Mode on WWE 2K25.

01:05If you haven't already, watch the draft day episode.

01:07It's linked to in the video description down below to see who we have drafted for this

01:12season.

01:13We are back here on Parts of Unknown as well for the next 25 weeks, playing through MyGM

01:17mode on a week by week basis.

01:19If you want to get next week's episode right now, you can go to patreon.com forward slash

01:23WrestleTalk where you will get every episode one week early and ad free.

01:27Oliver Davis.

01:28You are going to be booking first as well.

01:30Yes.

01:31I've already got my matches down.

01:33I was thinking about this as I was doing the draft.

01:35You.

01:36And I've got to choose the champions.

01:39One of the things we did in the draft day episode is we set the conditions for the whole 25-week

01:44series and I got carried away and I convinced you to put a 20% penalty if we go a second

01:52over seven minutes on the timer.

01:54Absolutely.

01:55Yeah.

01:56And now I'm worried.

01:57And now you're worried because you've got too many people.

01:59I've got a roster of AW proportions and I haven't picked the champions yet.

02:07You've got to make all of them happy as well because what if some of them, what if they

02:09start sending you emails?

02:10What if they start getting their little grumpy faces next to them?

02:13More talent means more emails in the inbox surely.

02:16So yeah, so this new version of 2K, 2K25 has got an inbuilt timer on it.

02:21And if you go over that timer, you lose fans and we've set the parameters to be 20%.

02:26So if you go over, we're going to lose 20% of our fans for that week.

02:31It's really, it's a really, it's a much harsher punishment than what it used to be,

02:35which was you would just at the time of your choosing say you've got six minutes to book

02:39rather than seven.

02:40Yeah.

02:41The other thing that is different about this game as well, because of that seven minute

02:44timer, when Ollie finishes his booking and says confirm, I just have to go.

02:49Like it literally is just like my timer starts immediately.

02:52So we've got to do hot tag and tag across so that I can then get into it.

02:58And you've got to get your music on as quickly as possible.

03:00Yeah. So we'll still have-

03:01We kind of have to factor that into the timings.

03:02Yeah. We've still got the music on.

03:04And I guess when I start seeing 10 seconds going, I'll give you a tap at 10 seconds.

03:09Okay.

03:10And then I'll pass over.

03:12But hopefully there'll be plenty of time.

03:14Hopefully you're just going to have loads of time on your hands.

03:16It'll be just like when we've got a baton and we're running a relay race,

03:19and it'll be just a nice little jog and I'll pass it over to you.

03:22Right. So I'm going to get my music ready then because we're doing snake order,

03:25which means you're booking first and I'll be booking first next week.

03:28So I'm going to get my music ready.

03:30One of the great things about Monday Night War is that I'm a bit of an influencer.

03:36People come to me for awesome new music recommendations.

03:39And I've got a doozy for people this time round.

03:43There's a band that I've recently discovered called Clockwise.

03:48K-L-O-K-wise.

03:52K-L-O-K. Okay.

03:54Clockwise.

03:55They are a brand new new metal band.

04:00And they are like almost like a brand new Limp Bizkit.

04:03And they're also massive wrestling fans.

04:05They're new new metal.

04:06They are new new metal.

04:08And he even says, do you smell what the clock is cooking?

04:13They are massive, massive wrestling fans.

04:16So that's in, that's like how he starts a song or is that a chorus?

04:19No, that's just towards the end.

04:21He just starts, he just jounces like, if you smell what the clock is cooking.

04:24Sounds like doesn't it?

04:26Sounds like a weird line he's asking.

04:29So I am going to listen to Roots by Deftones first,

04:32because I'm really in the mood to listen to the Deftones.

04:34And then I've got a clockwise track called DGAF.

04:37And if there is time, which I don't think there will be,

04:39they did a cover of Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff.

04:42So I will have that as well.

04:44DGAF being a naughty acronym, isn't it?

04:47It is.

04:48Alright, initialism.

04:49Yeah, go check out Clockwise.

04:50They're really great.

04:51I won't get a chance to tee up my song choice,

04:54but it is the Nottingham, I believe they're from Nottingham,

04:57a band called Divorce.

04:59Alright.

05:00They've just released their album.

05:01I've been listening to their EP for a while.

05:03Do they still have EPs these days?

05:05Showing our age.

05:06Man, you're so old.

05:07Where's your wife?

05:08Go home to your family, dude.

05:10They had three tracks on Spotify for two years,

05:13and now they've released an 11-track playlist.

05:17For an album.

05:18Yeah, sure, an album.

05:20Yeah, I'd say it's an album.

05:21Yeah.

05:22Right.

05:23Right.

05:24Here we go.

05:25You ready?

05:26I've got my music playing.

05:27Where are you going?

05:28I lost three seconds on graphics there.

05:31Okay.

05:32Hi, Triple H.

05:33Am I feeling confident?

05:34Cannot wait to get started.

05:36We're going to storm this.

05:38Yeah, big things are coming, Triple H.

05:40I will make it an amazing show.

05:41And Ava has slid right in here.

05:44She is my CPU nemesis.

05:47Wish you luck.

05:48Obviously, with the likes of Bray Wyatt on our books,

05:50we think we're going to give...

05:51Huh.

05:52I'm not even going to reply, I guess.

05:55Women's division belts are unavailable for the ECW brand,

05:59so that means my men's champions get double points.

06:04Oh, no, 15, so not double.

06:06Oh, sorry.

06:07I said in the last one it works out mathematically better.

06:10Maybe it's the same.

06:11So my tag team champions are going to be my boys.

06:15Pretty deadly.

06:18That's not worked.

06:21Now it's pretty deadly.

06:23And that's kind of an...

06:26That's kind of annoying me that they're not facing the right way.

06:31Should I be wasting time on this?

06:34Um, just...

06:36Yep, just...

06:37Now they're facing each other.

06:39Okay.

06:40Probably going to regret doing that earlier.

06:43And my mid-card champ, the men's champion,

06:48is going to be Bron Breaker.

06:50Ooh, we're a heel promotion.

06:53There we go.

06:54Those are my champions.

06:56Um, I've earned a power card.

06:59What a pair of contracts.

07:00Oh, she's by two weeks.

07:01Okay, thank you.

07:02Pretty much physio.

07:03Very useful to have.

07:04Triple H is waiting to not book your most popular available bruiser this week.

07:09Who is...

07:11Let's go for GM assistant.

07:14And...

07:15Brand rosters.

07:16Bruiser.

07:17Bruiser.

07:18So it's Bron Breaker.

07:22Hmm.

07:23What do I get for it?

07:28Oh, that's really good.

07:30Okay.

07:31Well, let me book the show.

07:32Maybe I don't need him.

07:33Um...

07:34Actually, I probably...

07:35I might not need him.

07:36So my main event is going to be my main title program, which is Gunther versus Sammy.

07:43That is...

07:44Babyface, cruiser against heel giant.

07:48It's a story as old as wrestling time.

07:50I'm going to open the show with my tag team match, which is a tag team champs and hopefully

08:01with some built-in chemistry, because that does influence the match star ratings.

08:08Fraxium, in my opinion, the best tag team of 2024.

08:13Let's get some variety here, both in terms of people in a match and a different gender.

08:21We are going to put all of my biggest lady stars.

08:25So we've got...

08:26We've got Belair.

08:27We've got Asuka.

08:28We've got Natalya.

08:30That is your perfect two faces, one heel bruiser, fighter, specialist.

08:37Great combo, that.

08:39Now, I was going to have all my mid-card guys.

08:48Sort of who I was positioning as my mid-card division.

08:55All in the same match.

08:57Four Brombreakers, men's belt.

09:01But I don't want to book him now because of...

09:10Because of that power card.

09:12So instead...

09:13K is a bruise of face, currently.

09:19So let's have a fighter heal in Lexus King.

09:24Hmm.

09:27Now, I'm going to have Brombreaker.

09:30Oh, does that actually negate the...

09:34Ah, I can't book him at all.

09:38God damn it.

09:41Okay.

09:42Okay.

09:43That's going to be something different then.

09:44Uh.

09:45Uh.

09:47Duh.

09:48Clear this promo.

09:50Right.

09:51Okay.

09:52Let's just have a look at who else can start feuds.

09:54It's all about starting feuds at this time.

09:56Can't book Bron.

09:57Let's have...

09:58They might start...

09:59They might start the match.

10:00I've got a hundred and...

10:01I'm not going to...

10:02I'm not going to book any steps.

10:03I think that's gaudy.

10:04And, ooh, cost crucial stamina at an early time.

10:06But let's try and get a secondary women's feud going with...

10:10Yeah.

10:11Who's better on the mic?

10:12Who's better on the mic?

10:13Who's better on the mic?

10:14Who's better on the mic?

10:15You're a two out of five.

10:16You're a one out of five.

10:17Then it's this way round.

10:19Unless...

10:20No, let's just have a little thing.

10:21That's a little thing.

10:22Okay.

10:23Well there's a little bit clean.

10:24I think, yeah.

10:26yeah who's better on the mic who's better on the mic you're a two out of five you're a one out of

10:34five then it's this way round unless no let's just have a little thing let's have a little thing go

10:41um and then let's have a let's get some fans who's the best on the mic it's there i don't

10:52need to open it up you're gonna do that and you oh they're 15 000 yeah let's do it 15 000 i just want

11:02the fans okay one minute 20 i've got the the fulfilled thing i won't buy any show logistics

11:12just yet i don't think i've got enough assets anyway so i can't do that and the power cards

11:20and just spar that's good health spar uh six more stamina that's good raises the selected superstars

11:28morale that might be useful 25 000 i don't want any of them right now block all opposing brands using

11:38three legend whisperer select a superstar on your roster to immediately to become wow that's powerful

11:47bad timing and pre-match physio okay well let's think about that later i'm happy okay right

11:56i'm gonna do the hot tag switch all right

12:02you ready uh oh i've just closed on them yeah i am yeah i'm gonna press confirm i'm not losing 10

12:09because you're not ready yeah yeah ready one go thank you all right triple h time for a new season

12:16i think yeah we can do it lovely ava what do you want uh oh bray white uh yeah great uh so all right

12:25punk uh yo plans for an extreme you need to do get out of here punk right champions

12:31i'm gonna make cody roads my men's champion my men's tag team champions are going to be

12:39reyza and obafemi and my uh mid card champ is going to be a moss and on the women's division

12:52i'm going to make

12:54hmm now i had down nia jack so i was going to do nia and kairi

13:00bailey's right there though because i could do bailey and nia instead

13:05leaves nothing for kairi but maybe i can do that once the nia and i'm gonna do that

13:12i'll put the belt on nia and i'm gonna do nia and bailey as my women's tag team champions however

13:16are going to be uh chelsea green and lash legend they are both heels delightful uh great uh confirm

13:28yes the best card in the game that's a good start that's a good start okie dokie right

13:37uh one gauntlet elimination match do get pretty much dizzy about that and i have got a four-way

13:43plans that's good get quite a lot wacky stuff for that though and i've got that which i want to do

13:50yeah uh right my main event is going to be uh cody roads versus shinsuke nakamura

14:07uh four the world heavyweight championship uh i may gimmick that up in a bit but not right now

14:14uh for you it is going to be nia jacks versus bailey with the women's title on the line

14:21uh given their stamina probably not a gimmick match here we have got a tag team match featuring

14:29the tag team champions of rezar and obafemi taking on trick williams and eddie thorpe with the titles

14:40on the line and here in a fatal four-way that gauntlet eliminator is what he was after craig it's a

14:48maximum quality basically it's 50k to do um this is going to be albafire versus ivy nile

14:58versus uh lola vice versus lash legend

15:05delightful um yeah cool cool cool cool uh right okay uh how exciting uh then we've got a look at

15:19this is different now isn't everyone uh i looked at my phone then see how much time i had the game's

15:23different now uh aj styles calling out roman reigns to try and start a feud between them

15:31and a call out promo of stacks calling out a moss

15:39and what do i do here can we start something else

15:45i could have roman calling out aj and get that to a tour already because here's a fun fact for you folks

15:54um technically like the go home show so week four is your pay-per-view week you have the five match

16:04uh card things then because the pay-per-views are cross-brand so there's way more stuff that you've

16:09got like we'll get to that when we get to it in a few weeks time i've got three minutes left

16:13but this is a pretty stacked old show right now isn't it um checking on anyone's stamina

16:22everyone seems fine for the moment so manage roster talent scouts

16:27look at you misery main um and that is a fighter bruiser

16:33interesting

16:36that is a fighter bruiser

16:39i do need to check actually uh the gauntlet eliminator's got a wacky stipulation on it

16:44so the winner receives a three-week contract extension oh that's fine because that's not

16:49going to affect it it's the other gauntlet's got like a you get five popularity but an xp

16:54but you lose 10 stamina but it's a gauntlet eliminator that trips once

16:58yeah gauntlet eliminator and you get pretty much a video what have i got here

17:02fulfill five promises to superstars to get to the moon so i probably want to do that one

17:07here's the great thing is that hall of fame trophies don't really matter in this because

17:10it's fans as our objective goal but this is a good way for me to get extra power cards

17:14um okay it's probably don't need to do that one

17:18i will just do that anyway so that's okay perfect pacing book 10 shows with a perfect drama curve

17:24gets me a veto star so let's probably want to do that one

17:27book 10 shows with interference okay um part of the team

17:38start five rivalries by using running interferences blimey that's a tough one to do

17:43uh change the role play three cards during one week three times and book 10 fatal four-way matches

17:50crikey o'reilly okay so i'm going to do a huge amount of those um like purposefully i might

17:57do something just over time yeah it's a pretty stacked show so i'm happy with that aspect of

18:02it now do i just get in you two um because i always like to just bring in some uh jobbers

18:11and build them up i might do misery main and nova northern lights

18:22end of the season is 30 grand

18:30so let's just do it for five weeks for now and then i'll play it by ear

18:35so i'm going to stick that with a double caller but i can do that next week but yeah i pretty i

18:48think that's pretty much me done so that's naira new that's uh i mean a specialist which isn't ideal

18:54but look at you and stuff you're five bruisers cool confirm lucky

19:05the exaggeration of two songs with divorce's latest album the drive to golden hammer

19:11you're welcome how did you find it i uh got stressed i um early on uh when i was selecting my

19:19champions yeah i selected elton prince and kit wilson it's gonna sound weird the wrong way round

19:29so in the little image they were facing away from each other yeah and i just wanted them facing in

19:36i just wanted to fix that before i proceeded it's important and then i was already a minute

19:42in the hall of fame probably not that bad all right so let's have a look what's your first show

19:47then how did you find it yeah i felt pretty confident in there um i'm feeling pretty good

19:53i've had a quick check of my hall of fame trophies um oh i didn't look at that at all uh i should look

19:58at that i'll be honest like i'm not i'm probably not going to do a lot of them because one of them

20:01is like uh start five rivalries using running interferences um book loads of uh special guest

20:08referee matches but yeah i don't think i'm gonna need to do a lot of that and remember this year

20:12or this season rather that isn't the win condition no it's all about the fans all about the fans it's

20:18all about the numbers uh not numbers to me not to ecw fans numbers to raw yeah faceless numbers right

20:27so we're starting off with a tag team championship match this fraxium and we've got new tag champions

20:34what a start we've got a rivalry as well it is the grivalry match has rona and we've got new tag

20:43champs fraxium what a fun exciting uh start to your show i know well it's it's the new series so we've

20:50just had you know wrestlemania this is the night after wrestlemania okay right and then in in eight

20:57weeks time it's summerslam it's a weird year it's truncated uh come on angelo three thousand fans

21:04you do some charity promos early doors being that 30 grand on some charity promos i didn't book a

21:10single stipulation so all my money went on promos yeah uh we've got a four-way here i took brom

21:18breaker out because i got a uh a good power-up card you got owens and carlito you know what and

21:29it's aaron king i don't mind that that does that does tie them i wanted them to feud with bron but

21:37i didn't book bron because that was a a thing look at that carlito you're getting a win one of your top

21:42stars and who was that that's akira and king yeah that sounds about right doesn't it as a feud

21:51uh come on let's get some more fans four and a half two charity promos the way you're talking

22:48and nia jacks retains it is a three star good match and no grivalry is there i'm just gonna

22:58make a little actually does open me up i could do still do her versus kairi sane good to know

23:04aj styles calling out roman reigns that's pretty good getaway one he didn't book either of those

23:09guys in the match wow that's a deep roster that's how that's how deep my roster is that's what happens

23:15when you've got 100 guys under contract the tag titles are on the line as razer and obafemi defending

23:21at trix williams and eddie thorpe we've got champs retaining boring retentions mediocre two star match

23:32not a hot show so far stacks calling out the champion obafemi and that goes up to a one people

24:24nakamura is the new champion it is a four-star amazing match well played and that goes up to a

24:31one and you know what those two retentions early on in the show yeah it makes it more surprising when

24:37it changes hands later exactly not like you car crash booking just doing dark changes all the time

24:42sorry uh i better put a gauntlet eliminator in well yeah that was that was my commissioner goal

24:47can i just have a look at how um oh no i forget there's other there's other people yeah oh i don't

25:16what i did yeah can i just see on my so the match things we've got some great tag chemistry

25:24that's what i was like tag teams yeah uh that was the bit i was looking for there um over here

25:32just nobody clicked okay nobody enjoyed themselves in that match this should have done better

25:40i i i feel like that's a bit low yeah once the rivalry start kicking in maybe and this one

25:47it's a title match they just didn't they phoned it in they phoned in a title change yeah one and a

25:53half style performance do you want to see yours yep uh so let's have a look

26:02yeah this is like you know this is it's about what i'm after here this was about what i was

26:06after but um yeah all right let's get through to it so okay here we go come on come on nice 39 000

26:14pretty good start there seven and a half thousand of that was from fan charity promos

26:20uh it's a c quality card sure i had 97 overall though i think that's not too bad for a first show

26:30uh and it cost me it cost me 33 000 i made 24 000 that's fine so axiom and nathan fraser incredible

26:39tag team yes they are liked tonight's ccw uh carly that was boring too many stars of the same class

26:47yes interesting that might be a new bit of functionality to this i hate to see kit wilson

26:53lose uh then we've got a lot of people liking axiom yeah and fraser i like what montez ford did in

27:01the promo yeah that's more fans not a very good match but desire and king livened it up a little

27:07by going at each other okay so i'll go in that direction um i like that every match in this week's

27:12ecw felt different from the last one so variety though so 39 000 for you who's going to take the

27:18first week i get a feeling it might be you with those charity promos yeah 33 so you take the first

27:24week when you lost yeah it's because i booked the uh the gauntlet was 50k it was my commissioner goal

27:32oh uh good show tonight trick williams and eddie thorpe an incredible tag team that's good to know

27:36uh not a very good match but ivy and lola live live up a little bit roman reigns called out aj

27:42bailey came up short no one could accuse roar of a pair of matches last angel was so close

27:47um great with naya better luck next time all right a pretty strong first week i would say yeah i think

27:54if i didn't buy a load of fans which was 7 000 i think you would have beaten me uh by a couple there
