00:04:38 - Welcome to the Wednesday Night War.

00:04:59 I am Pete Quinnell representing Monday Night Smackdown.

00:05:03 It's the first time I've been on one of these

00:05:04 Wednesday Night War streams,

00:05:05 'cause Luke has hosted the last two.

00:05:08 I am excited to find out what's gonna happen

00:05:10 for the next five weeks of this series 3.5

00:05:14 of the Monday Night War on Wednesdays.

00:05:17 Is Laurie gonna be able to not have people

00:05:19 get injured this time?

00:05:20 We're gonna find out.

00:05:21 Is Dan gonna actually pick a lane

00:05:24 and actually find someone to have an allegiance with,

00:05:26 with his GM interference?

00:05:27 Probably not, but we're gonna find out today anyway.

00:05:30 On the last pay-per-view at Hell in a Cell,

00:05:32 Laurie got a couple injuries,

00:05:34 had a great show with Owen, went in number one,

00:05:36 and Dan had a good show.

00:05:39 It was fine, wasn't it?

00:05:40 But he did save that all-important Network Special,

00:05:42 so we'll see if he gets to play it this time.

00:05:46 We are doing Ultra Chats again today,

00:05:48 so if you want your comments read out on air,

00:05:49 make sure to send in your Ultra Chats

00:05:51 at WrestleTalk.com/PFK,

00:05:54 and we're gonna read out all of those

00:05:56 above a dollar amount that I don't remember.

00:05:58 It might be five, might be 10.

00:06:00 I'm sure the moderators in the chat

00:06:02 will let you know which one it is.

00:06:04 But, I hope y'all are excited for today.

00:06:08 Shall we just get into it?

00:06:10 I think without much further ado,

00:06:12 we're just gonna get right over to week number 11

00:06:15 of the Wednesday Night War.

00:06:17 We're going over to Laurie, representing Wednesday Night NXT,

00:06:20 and Dan, representing Wednesday Night NXT 2.0.

00:06:23 - Pete just described a game that is all ado

00:06:28 about not much further ado.

00:06:29 - Yeah. - Yeah.

00:06:30 Like, this game is just ado.

00:06:31 - There's nothing but ado. - There's nothing

00:06:32 that you just do. - Yeah.

00:06:33 - You would do the whole time.

00:06:34 - Yeah. - Because you don't

00:06:35 play the matches.

00:06:36 - We're gonna find out many things.

00:06:37 - We'll find out many things.

00:06:38 - But also, I'd like just a quick reminder to Pete

00:06:40 that he will never take this from me,

00:06:43 this beautiful golden belt.

00:06:45 This is one thing that we know for certain will not change.

00:06:48 Nice different characters, Dan.

00:06:49 - Doesn't matter.

00:06:50 Live the gimmick.

00:06:52 - Live the gimmick.

00:06:53 How are you?

00:06:55 - Very well, thank you. - Good.

00:06:56 - Yeah, I did some prep.

00:06:57 - Yeah. - Ahead of it.

00:06:58 I watched about the last five minutes of the last stream.

00:07:01 - As we were coming down,

00:07:01 you had this little grin on your face.

00:07:03 - I've got a plan for week one.

00:07:05 That plan, as pointed out to me by Pete,

00:07:07 I didn't do very good research

00:07:09 'cause I forgot about Bret Hart being injured.

00:07:11 But you know. - Nice.

00:07:12 I very helpfully-- - He's out.

00:07:13 Get him out of here.

00:07:14 - At the end of the last one,

00:07:16 I made myself a little list of things

00:07:18 to keep in mind going forward.

00:07:21 - Just an intention setting.

00:07:22 I like it. - Yeah.

00:07:23 Like manifesting.

00:07:24 You know. - What are you manifesting?

00:07:26 - Well, I'll tell you.

00:07:26 - Oh, well, then fine.

00:07:28 - You'll find out in but a week's time.

00:07:29 - Oh, but a week.

00:07:30 - Well, but not even a real week.

00:07:32 - No. - A pretend week.

00:07:34 - Shall I, I don't remember how the loading goes.

00:07:36 We load this.

00:07:37 I press that.

00:07:38 Do you want to load this save data?

00:07:39 Yes, I do.

00:07:40 Okay, and now we're at my, yes.

00:07:43 - If we do, I swear, oh.

00:07:45 Aren't we supposed to have, oh.

00:07:49 We'll figure it out.

00:07:51 Anyway.

00:07:52 (laughing)

00:07:52 I thought we were supposed to have

00:07:53 Superstar Shake Up cards.

00:07:54 And that comes before the emails.

00:07:55 - It's after.

00:07:56 - It's after the emails.

00:07:58 Oh, then everything's fine.

00:07:59 There was a second there where I was like,

00:08:00 oh no, someone's picked for me.

00:08:02 And I was about to be very angry.

00:08:03 - Dun, dun, dun.

00:08:05 - What are you gonna listen to?

00:08:06 - What am I gonna listen to?

00:08:06 I'm going to listen to Paramore.

00:08:10 It's already on, apparently.

00:08:12 - Oh.

00:08:13 - How did that happen?

00:08:14 - Crazy.

00:08:15 - Just vibing away to yourself.

00:08:16 All right, see you in a bit.

00:08:17 In that case, Ellis, are you good?

00:08:19 - Yeah.

00:08:20 - Oh, Producer L, we're gonna set the countdown.

00:08:21 We're gonna do the countdown.

00:08:22 Oh, wait, I haven't got one on my phone.

00:08:24 That's not gonna help anybody, is it?

00:08:26 Oh, God, everything's fine.

00:08:29 Recognize my face.

00:08:30 It's only sunglasses.

00:08:31 Here we go.

00:08:33 Right, seven minutes on the clock.

00:08:36 In three, two, one, go.

00:08:39 Okey dokey, Sammy George.

00:08:41 Hello, my contract NSE is up at the end of the week.

00:08:43 That's sad.

00:08:45 What are you up to?

00:08:46 Primary skill one, you have got a rivalry.

00:08:48 How much do you want?

00:08:49 Oh, also you're satisfied.

00:08:50 14K for you.

00:08:54 How about nine?

00:08:54 Thanks.

00:08:57 My contract NSE 2.0 is up at the end of the week.

00:08:59 Oh, not Giggles.

00:09:01 How's Giggles doing?

00:09:03 Oh, she's annoyed.

00:09:04 So if I wanna keep her, I have to pay her.

00:09:06 I don't know if you're worth it, Giggles.

00:09:12 You have got a rivalry though.

00:09:14 What am I gonna do?

00:09:16 What am I gonna do?

00:09:17 She's not gonna take a lower ball.

00:09:18 Sorry, G, not gonna renew the contract.

00:09:23 I'm sure I'll regret that.

00:09:24 I guess the joke's on me.

00:09:25 Here we are.

00:09:26 Oh yeah, well, this is the thing.

00:09:27 I interfered with you, Dewdrop.

00:09:28 Hey, Jay Layton.

00:09:30 You've seen the work I've been putting in.

00:09:31 I know I can do more for the brand.

00:09:32 What's Mace doing?

00:09:33 Oh, this is why people write things down.

00:09:35 You wanna run a main event match.

00:09:38 How star power are you?

00:09:39 Three, giant, you're satisfied.

00:09:42 Oh God.

00:09:46 Yeah, why not?

00:09:49 Okay.

00:09:52 Three bronze ones?

00:09:53 That is, I'm behind.

00:09:55 This is unacceptable.

00:09:58 Using at least one fighter superstar increases quality.

00:10:02 Players, male and female, single belts,

00:10:03 gain 15 popularity and a guarantee to win.

00:10:06 Okay, I'm gonna use Roper Dope, I think,

00:10:07 to use one fighter superstar in a match

00:10:10 to increase its quality

00:10:12 'cause quality of matches is what I'm about.

00:10:16 Okay, have at least one Ironman match this week.

00:10:19 Right, let's have a quick look at my season goals

00:10:22 because one of them was to do loads of interferences.

00:10:28 Five shows with GM interference.

00:10:30 And now I get a fixed match.

00:10:32 I'm nearly done with that, to be honest.

00:10:34 So, right, manage roster.

00:10:37 Health-wise, how's everyone doing?

00:10:38 Oh, Jinder's not doing the most best, is he?

00:10:42 He's only got two weeks on his contract.

00:10:43 Bloody hell.

00:10:44 What have I been doing?

00:10:47 Honestly, what have I been doing?

00:10:49 Oh, Indie's only got 12 and she's my champ.

00:10:52 Oh God, oh God, what am I gonna do?

00:10:57 Um, power cards-wise, what have we got over here?

00:11:00 Nothing event, nothing good.

00:11:02 Nothing of note.

00:11:03 Might need an injury rehab.

00:11:05 But I've got two injury rehabs times three.

00:11:06 So let's do that in a bit.

00:11:07 First of all, we'll crack on with those logistics

00:11:09 to make sure those are all done.

00:11:11 And then I can book the show.

00:11:13 Messe wants the main event this week.

00:11:15 That's fine.

00:11:16 Where are you, Messe?

00:11:17 God, you're down here.

00:11:18 Who's my North American champ?

00:11:23 Ah.

00:11:25 (upbeat music)

00:11:28 God, everyone is poorly.

00:11:30 Might have to book a rubbish show.

00:11:31 Unless I make this,

00:11:38 oh, I was gonna blow it off, wasn't I?

00:11:40 That was gonna be my main event this week.

00:11:44 Oh, what am I doing?

00:11:47 Daniel, everything's fine.

00:11:48 Pop you against Stone Cold.

00:11:52 Oh, they had a few already.

00:11:53 Oh my God, everything's fine.

00:11:55 Maybe I'll just piss off Messe.

00:11:58 Maybe I'll do that.

00:11:59 Okay, first things first, we're gonna run

00:12:04 Dewdrop against GG 'cause she's on the way out.

00:12:10 And I'm gonna do my little GM interference for Dewdrop.

00:12:13 And that will actually end my little chain.

00:12:18 I'm gonna do a call out promo

00:12:21 because my new feud is gonna be Jinder versus Austin.

00:12:24 Have I got a man, have I got,

00:12:26 oh God, I'm gonna have to pay Jinder

00:12:28 loads of money next week, aren't I?

00:12:29 Ah, that'll help.

00:12:32 Okay, cool, we'll do that.

00:12:33 We'll do LA Knight versus Messe.

00:12:38 What do I do with the title?

00:12:42 We'll make it a triple threat.

00:12:46 Or the title.

00:12:51 (upbeat music)

00:12:53 And is there a fighter amongst them?

00:12:56 No, there's not.

00:12:57 No, there's not.

00:12:58 How am I doing time-wise?

00:12:59 Two minutes 40, joke!

00:13:02 Power card, pre-match physio on.

00:13:04 Actually, God, I'm having a nightmare.

00:13:09 I'm so underprepared.

00:13:11 What am I doing?

00:13:12 What am I doing?

00:13:13 What am I doing?

00:13:14 Not gonna make that triple threat match.

00:13:16 We're just gonna make that a straight one-on-one.

00:13:18 Not gonna make it for the title

00:13:19 'cause I don't want the title to go off it.

00:13:21 And I'm gonna use my pre-match physio on LA Knight

00:13:23 'cause I don't want him to get poorly.

00:13:24 Right, that's just a decision that I've made, okay?

00:13:27 I've decided that.

00:13:28 In the opener, we're gonna have Rhea Ripley.

00:13:31 They're having a cool down.

00:13:32 Rhea Ripley versus Charlotte, they're both heels.

00:13:34 Oh my God, I've got basically no one good left.

00:13:37 You guys can have a tables match.

00:13:42 Why not?

00:13:43 Oh, oh, oh, I've got nobody of note.

00:13:49 They're a tag team, but Randy's poorly.

00:13:51 Bloody Nora, what are we doing here?

00:13:54 Bobbles and Logan.

00:14:02 Yeah, I guess that'll help.

00:14:07 That'll do something.

00:14:08 How are we doing there?

00:14:13 One minute 26, right.

00:14:14 So we've got logistics booked.

00:14:16 We have a show to speak of.

00:14:19 If I leave Jinder off the show,

00:14:20 he'll at least pick up some stamina.

00:14:23 I'll have you doing a call out on LA Knight

00:14:28 to make you go to level four.

00:14:29 I can blow that feud off next week

00:14:31 with a submission match.

00:14:33 I hate this.

00:14:36 I hate it.

00:14:37 What else am I gonna do?

00:14:47 I think I might free up some money, you know?

00:14:49 Yeah, I'm gonna do that.

00:14:50 I'm gonna release Indie Heart.

00:14:54 Well, controversial, but I'll get some money back

00:14:57 and I'm gonna need that to flesh out my roster a little bit.

00:14:59 That may be a massive mistake,

00:15:02 but at least I have a woman's title.

00:15:03 Did they feud over the title before?

00:15:09 I feel like they did.

00:15:10 Am I doing, am I making a mistake there?

00:15:12 I will.

00:15:14 Oh, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.

00:15:17 Make a feud, make a feud.

00:15:18 Ah, woman's title.

00:15:19 Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

00:15:27 Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

00:15:31 Do I wanna do one?

00:15:32 Four seconds.

00:15:33 Oh my god, I'm just gonna have to do it.

00:15:34 Oh, this was such a nightmare.

00:15:35 What am I doing?

00:15:36 Oh, god.

00:15:38 Oh.

00:15:40 Oh.

00:15:42 Oh.

00:15:43 Did that go well?

00:15:46 I flailed.

00:15:47 You flailed?

00:15:48 I flailed.

00:15:48 How did you flail?

00:15:49 It turned out I've completely forgot everything that I'd had planned

00:15:51 and everything that I'd done and everyone was feeling poorly

00:15:54 and then I just didn't, and I didn't react to it well.

00:15:58 And my Super Smash Bros was shit.

00:15:59 Oh, that's bad.

00:16:01 Yeah.

00:16:01 Good for me though.

00:16:02 Yeah.

00:16:03 Yeah, good for me.

00:16:04 Yeah.

00:16:04 Oh, great.

00:16:05 Yeah.

00:16:05 Wonderful.

00:16:06 Well.

00:16:07 I've never crumbled so quick in my life.

00:16:08 No?

00:16:09 Oh.

00:16:10 Oh dear.

00:16:11 Oh dear, oh dear.

00:16:12 Oh, but at least I have my puzzler.

00:16:15 At least you have your puzzler.

00:16:16 The great puzzler.

00:16:18 Are you ready?

00:16:20 What are you listening to?

00:16:21 Well, see, they're coming back so I'm gonna listen to Girls Aloud.

00:16:23 Okay.

00:16:24 How about that?

00:16:24 That's nice.

00:16:25 And they'll be back.

00:16:26 Imminently.

00:16:29 Cheryl's about to tweet at number one.

00:16:30 We're gonna go straight into their greatest hits album, 10.

00:16:34 And I think I'm gonna start with Something New.

00:16:37 It was a fabulous song.

00:16:40 Very nice.

00:16:40 Absolute fire.

00:16:41 Bye-bye.

00:16:42 Bye.

00:16:42 All right.

00:16:44 We've got seven minutes on the clock.

00:16:46 We've got some emails to do.

00:16:47 Let me get a superstar shake up.

00:16:48 Ellis, you ready?

00:16:49 In three, two, one, go.

00:16:53 Razor Ramon.

00:16:54 Hey, my contract is up at the end of next week.

00:16:56 Type faster, Razor.

00:17:00 We're interested in staying at a cost.

00:17:02 Oh, and the cost would be 70k.

00:17:04 I mean, I'm gonna ask him to do it for cheaper.

00:17:10 How about 49?

00:17:11 Oh, not what I was looking for, but I'll take it.

00:17:16 I'll see you next week.

00:17:16 I just got a deal.

00:17:18 I've had enough crap.

00:17:21 Working with NXT has been a complete joke.

00:17:23 What do you want now, Champa?

00:17:24 100k bonus.

00:17:29 You motherfucker.

00:17:33 You motherfucker.

00:17:35 You prick.

00:17:36 Sorry, Tommaso.

00:17:39 That's not gonna happen.

00:17:40 Goodbye, then.

00:17:44 You keep your money.

00:17:45 I'm out of here.

00:17:47 Wow.

00:17:47 Oh, I got the money back, though.

00:17:48 That's pretty good.

00:17:49 See you later, mate.

00:17:51 I had him be nothing but losses.

00:17:53 Isn't there someone else on your roster you can match me up against with for a change?

00:17:57 Yeah, someone who was in a feud with Carmelo Hayes.

00:18:00 There you go.

00:18:01 You can have Carmelo Hayes.

00:18:03 Sounds good, Finn.

00:18:03 Cool.

00:18:06 Exiting.

00:18:07 Continue booking.

00:18:07 Right, what have I got?

00:18:09 Fan retention rate.

00:18:10 "The player's male and female belt holders get 15 popularity and are guaranteed to win

00:18:14 all their matches while their shape-up is active.

00:18:15 If a giant superstar wins a fatal four-way match, he gains 40k,

00:18:19 or fan retention rate is increased by 0.25%."

00:18:22 I don't really know what to do about this.

00:18:27 I don't necessarily want my champions to win all the matches.

00:18:31 Do I?

00:18:31 I don't know.

00:18:33 I'm gonna take the fan retention rate

00:18:36 and just try and stay as close to down as possible.

00:18:39 I'm going with that.

00:18:40 All right, all right.

00:18:43 "Havily's won backstage brawl this week."

00:18:47 Right, we've got to go to the manage roster because we've got a bunch of people who are out injured.

00:18:52 Gargano's out.

00:18:53 Brett's out for two weeks.

00:18:55 Gargano is out for...

00:18:58 About three weeks.

00:19:04 This is where my eyes don't work.

00:19:06 I can't see.

00:19:06 Three weeks he's out for.

00:19:08 That's bad.

00:19:08 And I was gonna get rid of him and put the North American title onto the Hayes and Ciampa feud.

00:19:16 But Ciampa's just left because he's a money grubber.

00:19:21 He's left.

00:19:22 So I don't really know what to do there.

00:19:23 Let's book some show first and then we'll come back to this.

00:19:25 Right, so we're gonna do...

00:19:28 I want to blow off the Rodriguez and Sky feud that I've got.

00:19:34 Click here.

00:19:34 Click out Rodriguez.

00:19:39 She's got good stamina and she's got a good thing against U.S. Sky.

00:19:42 So I think I'm gonna blow that off.

00:19:44 First of all.

00:19:48 Second of all, I think we're gonna have...

00:19:50 We're gonna try and set up Beej and Razor for the title.

00:19:56 And we need a backstage brawl.

00:20:00 What do I get for my backstage brawls?

00:20:03 Block an opposing brand from...

00:20:04 I mean...

00:20:07 I mean...

00:20:09 All right, Rill and Creed, you have a backstage brawl.

00:20:13 Julius Creed versus Matt Rill.

00:20:16 Ian.

00:20:16 Backstage brawl.

00:20:18 It's well expensive though.

00:20:20 But I did just make all that money.

00:20:23 All right.

00:20:24 And then we're gonna...

00:20:26 I think we're gonna release Johnny Gargano.

00:20:29 Acting like a lady.

00:20:30 I think we're gonna release Johnny.

00:20:32 *Sings*

00:20:36 And we're gonna release Brett.

00:20:38 Because he's only got limited time on his contract.

00:20:41 So we'll release Johnny and Brett.

00:20:43 Oh, I can't release more than one.

00:20:49 Brett, you're gone next week, son.

00:20:51 Right.

00:20:53 Back to this.

00:20:54 What have we got?

00:20:57 So we could do Mello.

00:20:59 We could do Bala versus Carmelo Hayes.

00:21:03 They don't have a good...

00:21:06 They don't have a good class matchup though.

00:21:08 So I could also maybe just put the belt on this feud.

00:21:13 In the hopes that that pops that as well.

00:21:18 So I might do that.

00:21:19 And then I was gonna have some call-outs.

00:21:22 I want to get some things going between...

00:21:24 Aska and Shayna Baszler.

00:21:28 So I'll probably have Aska call out Baszler.

00:21:32 Let's see where we land with that.

00:21:34 And I also want to get something cooking between...

00:21:38 Bailey and somebody.

00:21:43 So who have I got for Bailey?

00:21:45 *Sings*

00:21:46 So Bailey could call out Katana Chance.

00:21:49 Katana Chance.

00:21:50 What's Bailey's stats?

00:21:52 Everyone's got low stamina, mate.

00:21:55 Everyone's got low stamina.

00:21:56 Everyone's got low stamina.

00:21:58 I'm still gonna do it.

00:21:59 Because I could also...

00:22:02 It depends where we land on the...

00:22:06 It depends what happens here.

00:22:07 Because I feel like they could both get injured.

00:22:09 But they are also in a tag feud with...

00:22:12 Rodriguez is with Chance and EO is with Baszler.

00:22:15 So there's also the tag feud going.

00:22:18 And that's got...

00:22:19 That's at level two already.

00:22:20 So I do want that to end up somewhere.

00:22:22 Right, let's do some logistics.

00:22:23 People keep complaining I don't book the highest value arena.

00:22:26 That's the highest value arena as far as I can see.

00:22:29 So that'll do.

00:22:30 Right, what are we doing now?

00:22:31 Contract negotiation.

00:22:34 Add four weeks.

00:22:35 Free crew booking coast to coast.

00:22:37 Free special effects.

00:22:39 Fix a match.

00:22:41 Health spa.

00:22:43 I think we should buy a health spa when we see it.

00:22:45 I'm gonna buy a health spa.

00:22:48 And then check my show.

00:22:55 I think because that's paying off a big feud, that'll be more popular.

00:22:59 This...

00:22:59 This already has a feud going into it.

00:23:03 So I think this needs to swap with that.

00:23:05 Fit that and then I guess we'll just do a charity promo or something.

00:23:10 Should I hug her like a genie?

00:23:14 Underwear and leg a lady.

00:23:16 Should have seen me.

00:23:17 Oh.

00:23:18 Finn Boy Balor do a charity promo.

00:23:23 Yeah, cool.

00:23:25 26 seconds left.

00:23:26 Should we have a look at free agents?

00:23:27 Why not?

00:23:28 Oh, Gunther.

00:23:32 Now we're talking.

00:23:33 These are all too expensive.

00:23:34 They're too rich for my blood.

00:23:36 That's my show, I think.

00:23:40 I think that's me done.

00:23:41 That was less panic than normal, isn't it?

00:23:43 Is it good or is it bad?

00:23:45 I don't really know.

00:23:46 Hello.

00:23:48 I'm just pressing this button to confirm my button.

00:23:50 That's fine.

00:23:51 Because the song ended absolutely perfect.

00:23:55 I've got a loud coming through one.

00:23:56 Yeah, if we may.

00:23:58 But it did fade out enough for me to hear you say

00:24:02 what a gentle and unpanicked show you had.

00:24:05 I was just like, gone.

00:24:06 I just sort of rolled with it.

00:24:09 Anyone that was injured or decided they were having a problem, I just released them.

00:24:13 Oh, great.

00:24:13 Oh, how many?

00:24:14 They're all got like three people.

00:24:15 You released more than one?

00:24:16 Well, I released...

00:24:18 I released...

00:24:18 Someone left of their own volition.

00:24:20 Oh, great.

00:24:20 And I released Johnny Gargano.

00:24:21 Okay.

00:24:22 Okay, that's different.

00:24:23 That's different.

00:24:24 Because if I thought...

00:24:25 I thought they changed it.

00:24:26 That maybe you could.

00:24:27 You can only release one.

00:24:29 So I've still got deadweight Bret Hart on my roster.

00:24:33 But you know, we'll sort that out.

00:24:36 What's he added?

00:24:37 I mean, he lost to Joey Wheeler.

00:24:38 He did lose to Joey Wheeler.

00:24:40 Now...

00:24:40 Red eyes, black dragon.

00:24:42 Very funny that you rolled with the punches and I just got absolutely battered by them.

00:24:47 Wait till you see this shit show.

00:24:49 Go on.

00:24:50 Uh, so we're gonna open with Doudrop and Zlia Vega for the women's title.

00:24:56 The newly vacated women's title.

00:24:57 Because I fired Indi Hartwell because she only had 12 stamina.

00:24:59 I couldn't be bothered with that.

00:25:00 Probably a massive mistake, but I'll be honest with you, I was flailing.

00:25:04 So these guys are also in a rivalry.

00:25:08 So I thought, well, this might, you know, further the stakes a little bit.

00:25:09 Also in a tables match just to get a little rating.

00:25:12 Kind of pop a rating.

00:25:13 Zlina is our new champion.

00:25:14 She's a double champ now and the rivalry goes to three.

00:25:17 Okay, that's fine.

00:25:18 That's nice.

00:25:18 We're gonna write that down.

00:25:19 Ddqzl3.

00:25:24 Uh-huh.

00:25:26 Yep, that's right.

00:25:27 Uh...

00:25:28 What's your mother's maiden name?

00:25:29 I'll tell you in the form of a gif.

00:25:32 Um, oh, and our new top viewed over the world title is going to be Stone Cold Steve Austin

00:25:37 versus...

00:25:37 Oh, very good.

00:25:38 Jinda Mahal.

00:25:39 Clear baby face there.

00:25:41 Yeah, Jinda, yeah.

00:25:42 Uh, that's a level one rivalry.

00:25:46 Now that works.

00:25:47 Thank you, Steve Austin.

00:25:48 It gives me a hell yeah.

00:25:49 Um, I whacked on a little tag team match there.

00:25:52 Uh, because I had a bunch of people, again, flailing, I needed something to do.

00:25:57 Randy's low on stamina, but I just needed to pack the card out with people because with

00:26:01 Jinda being so low on stamina, he was on like 12.

00:26:04 Yeah.

00:26:04 I needed to give him a rest.

00:26:06 Sure.

00:26:06 And Marseille wanted the main event.

00:26:07 And I, uh, that, that's kind of what I said yes to it.

00:26:10 And that's kind of what messed me up a little bit.

00:26:12 So, um, I've just sort of pulled this out of the hat.

00:26:17 See what happens.

00:26:17 It's for the tag titles.

00:26:19 Our tag champions, Weston going up against Bobbles and Logan.

00:26:23 Randy Lee, Weston.

00:26:24 Randy Lee and Weston.

00:26:26 Okay.

00:26:26 That's got a little rivalry tag.

00:26:28 And what?

00:26:29 Okay, fine.

00:26:30 I don't know why I'm writing these down.

00:26:31 I don't think notes work.

00:26:32 Do I Pete?

00:26:32 And then, yeah, this is the, this is the main feud.

00:26:37 Oh, level four.

00:26:39 It's a level four.

00:26:40 So I can either leave this now until the end of the thing, or I can blow it off and pop

00:26:45 the rating next week.

00:26:45 So I've kind of been there, you know, going with it a little bit.

00:26:49 These guys are there to fill up for the spot.

00:26:50 And I also interfered on behalf of D-drop.

00:26:53 That not good.

00:26:54 It did it, to be honest.

00:26:55 Um, she lost.

00:26:57 Okay, that's fine.

00:26:57 That's what I wanted.

00:26:58 That was just a match for the sake of a match.

00:26:59 Here's Marseille having a main event.

00:27:01 Oh, I made it a normal match.

00:27:03 That's good.

00:27:03 Go down.

00:27:04 For the love of God.

00:27:06 And he won it.

00:27:08 And it was mediocre.

00:27:11 Well done.

00:27:11 Yeah.

00:27:11 Congrats, Marseille.

00:27:13 You asked for that.

00:27:14 Right.

00:27:14 Here we go.

00:27:16 Right.

00:27:16 Well, we need a new, we need a North American champion.

00:27:18 Because we've just sacked off Gargano.

00:27:20 I mean, hopefully here, Ilya Dragunov wins it because then he can appear a bit more.

00:27:24 Because he's got full fucking stamina.

00:27:26 He's got good popularity as well.

00:27:27 So he used that popularity to the moon.

00:27:29 After his last match.

00:27:31 If he wins this, he adds a little extra 10 on there.

00:27:33 Yeah.

00:27:33 So let's have a little look.

00:27:35 Stimulate.

00:27:36 Christ, this isn't good for Dan.

00:27:37 Yes!

00:27:39 He's gone and done it.

00:27:40 He's gone and done it.

00:27:41 Yes!

00:27:42 He's learning.

00:27:44 It's taken him.

00:27:45 It's taken him two streams to download it.

00:27:48 But oh my God, the information is going in.

00:27:50 Right.

00:27:52 And then we're having Asuka call out Shayna Baszler in the hopes of getting something going there.

00:27:56 Doesn't.

00:27:57 Does not.

00:27:57 Weak promo from Asuka there.

00:27:59 Yeah, not her best work.

00:28:00 Then we've got Bijj versus Razor.

00:28:02 Bijj is about to.

00:28:03 Bijj's about to die.

00:28:04 Pop off, yeah.

00:28:04 That's bad.

00:28:05 I didn't really look at his stamina.

00:28:07 No, you just booked him out.

00:28:07 I just wanted to do something.

00:28:09 And it's a title match.

00:28:10 Yep.

00:28:10 Bijj wins.

00:28:14 And he's injured.

00:28:14 Good stuff.

00:28:16 Good stuff.

00:28:17 Someone else is getting released.

00:28:18 Let me tell you that.

00:28:19 Ice cold, Laurie Blake.

00:28:23 Yeah, Bijj injured.

00:28:24 That is a four week injury for your world champion.

00:28:27 Yes, but I mean, it was a good match, which is nice.

00:28:30 Who's going to get released here, my bro?

00:28:32 I mean, it's now a tough choice, isn't it?

00:28:35 Yeah, it is.

00:28:35 Because the thing is, Brett's also back in a week.

00:28:37 Oh, so you could just win out.

00:28:39 I could just bin Bijj.

00:28:40 Yeah.

00:28:40 And then for my NXT championship picture, do Razor Ramon versus Brett Hart.

00:28:45 I don't think anything wrong with that.

00:28:48 Oh, yeah, why not?

00:28:48 Crack on.

00:28:49 Right.

00:28:49 And then we've got Bailey calling out Katana Chance.

00:28:53 Fuck all happened.

00:28:55 Good stuff.

00:28:56 Got a rivalry versus Julius Creed and Matt Riddle, who are having a backstage brawl.

00:29:00 Because that was my commissioner goal.

00:29:01 Which will stimulate.

00:29:03 Matt Riddle wins.

00:29:06 A little commissioner goal.

00:29:07 Oh.

00:29:08 Two and an injury.

00:29:09 Good stuff.

00:29:10 What are the four week injury for Matt Riddle?

00:29:11 This is bad.

00:29:13 Flipping heck.

00:29:14 This was going so chill.

00:29:16 Yeah, it had.

00:29:16 What a great start you had.

00:29:17 The curse of the injuries for me is just strong.

00:29:20 Right.

00:29:22 Another one getting released.

00:29:23 Put him on the list.

00:29:24 No one's even doing good promos this week either.

00:29:29 Jesus, wet.

00:29:32 Right, here we go.

00:29:33 And I'm blowing this off.

00:29:34 Oh, yeah.

00:29:34 So this will probably be another injury.

00:29:36 You ready?

00:29:36 Yeah.

00:29:37 Ready for it?

00:29:37 Oh, no, they're both fine stamina wise.

00:29:40 Bracky bees.

00:29:41 Brack the back.

00:29:43 An amazing with a rivalry complete.

00:29:45 Amazing main event.

00:29:46 I think you've started and ended that show quite well.

00:29:48 That's good.

00:29:49 Like, I think it was fine.

00:29:50 Yeah, I had a poor finale situation.

00:29:51 Yeah, so I had a week.

00:29:52 My mid card was much stronger as well, which is a shame.

00:29:55 Oh, you had.

00:29:56 So I had a poor finale.

00:29:57 You had a poor opener.

00:29:58 Ah, that's a shame.

00:29:59 My opener was fine.

00:30:00 My matches were consistent.

00:30:01 Yeah, so this is dumb, which is fine.

00:30:07 We just need we need something to we need something to stick now in the women's division.

00:30:12 Because, yes, the male world champion is now out.

00:30:15 Got a fair few rivalries there, though.

00:30:18 That's quite nice.

00:30:19 Couldn't make quite a bit of money from selling huge, though.

00:30:21 Could you?

00:30:21 It depends how big is how long he's got in the contract is the thing.

00:30:26 Do you want to have a look at any specifics?

00:30:28 Not really.

00:30:30 No, I don't.

00:30:31 So I think I was quite happy with the matches and annoyed about the injuries.

00:30:34 But yeah, the injuries are what's what's sodded you off there.

00:30:37 Let's go to this bit.

00:30:40 Can anyone see NXT 2.0 and as they let go of Indy, that took me by surprise.

00:30:44 Sorry, Indy.

00:30:44 My bad.

00:30:45 What have I done there?

00:30:46 Got a good profit.

00:30:47 Oh, I have made a good profit.

00:30:49 Oh, that's really going to come in handy with my sole goal, which like for all, you know,

00:30:54 I'll tell you in a bit.

00:30:55 All right.

00:30:57 No one could excuse the repetitive matches.

00:30:59 That's good.

00:30:59 So that means the show quality was well, not quite what you want to see.

00:31:01 That's fine.

00:31:02 Must say, turn the corner.

00:31:04 Rhea Ripley takes a match from Candice.

00:31:06 Give Doudrop a break.

00:31:08 Hey, Doudrop, ha ha ha.

00:31:11 Thanks, Zelina.

00:31:12 Great.

00:31:12 OK.

00:31:13 It's petty, Zelina.

00:31:15 That's petty.

00:31:15 37,000 new fans.

00:31:17 1698.

00:31:18 I can't remember what the deficit I've got to work up is.

00:31:20 So we'll have to have a look.

00:31:22 Let me just write that down.

00:31:22 1698.

00:31:24 We'll get that in a minute.

00:31:25 Go on then.

00:31:25 All right, here we go.

00:31:26 Continue.

00:31:28 You've got so much money.

00:31:30 I know.

00:31:31 I really do.

00:31:31 Staggering.

00:31:33 But the crucial thing is, whoa.

00:31:35 That's pretty tight.

00:31:37 And you've made a whole swathe of fans there.

00:31:39 But I've lost some money.

00:31:41 You have.

00:31:42 I did lose some money, but I've still got good money overall.

00:31:46 Which I'm fine with.

00:31:47 I've been sort of coasting around the $200,000.

00:31:50 It's look, I mean, for season one, which is what we're playing, that amount of money is fine.

00:31:52 Honestly.

00:31:54 Right, breaking.

00:31:55 Tomasso Ciampras decided to...

00:31:56 Another brand to work with.

00:31:59 That took me by surprise.

00:32:00 I'm sad to be leaving NXT.

00:32:01 Not really sure what went wrong or why I wasn't part of their plans.

00:32:04 You got injured, mate.

00:32:05 You got injured.

00:32:06 Look at Ciampra.

00:32:08 Ciampra.

00:32:08 "NXT is too small a stage for me, so I'm moving on to bigger and better things."

00:32:11 Yeah, yeah.

00:32:12 Good luck, son.

00:32:13 Sneaky.

00:32:14 Didn't even win a title in NXT.

00:32:16 What's he going to do now?

00:32:17 Look how far he's got.

00:32:17 He was NXT champion in real life.

00:32:19 And look how far that got him in the regular WWE.

00:32:21 What's he going to do when he's not even been NXT champion yet?

00:32:24 "Heard that NXT fired Johnny Gargano.

00:32:26 What a shame.

00:32:27 I love Gargano.

00:32:28 I'll follow him to any brand."

00:32:31 Does that work if you hired Gargano?

00:32:33 Would there be a portion of my fan base that would come to you?

00:32:35 Let's find out, shall we?

00:32:38 No, you leave my boy alone.

00:32:39 I'm waiting for him to-

00:32:41 You fired him!

00:32:42 And I'll hire him again if he ever gets well.

00:32:45 "EO Sky is perfect for submission matches.

00:32:48 Put her in another one.

00:32:49 That's one of those journal-y things.

00:32:51 That's something I should pay attention to."

00:32:53 I won't.

00:32:54 "Love tonight's NXT.

00:32:56 Raquel Rodriguez vs. EO Sky ended with a bang.

00:32:58 What a rivalry.

00:32:59 NXT is really putting up their start."

00:33:02 Blah, blah, blah.

00:33:02 "Balor promo was for a good cause, although it was kind of boring."

00:33:06 You've described it.

00:33:08 Finn Balor promo.

00:33:09 Big E is still champion.

00:33:11 Great.

00:33:13 That was good.

00:33:13 I was pleased with that.

00:33:14 That was a nice show for me.

00:33:16 Ooh, you've got a-

00:33:19 Ooh, hello!

00:33:19 That's you!

00:33:20 That's me.

00:33:20 I've got Vito Champ.

00:33:22 That's fun, isn't it?

00:33:23 Hilarious.

00:33:25 That's fun.

00:33:26 Got a little Vito Champ there.

00:33:28 Did you get anything for yours?

00:33:30 No, I didn't do it.

00:33:31 Mine was to have an Iron Man.

00:33:32 And that was going to absolutely knock out any of them.

00:33:34 Yeah, see, I took the risk.

00:33:35 Did the backstage brawl.

00:33:36 It's fair.

00:33:37 It's fair.

00:33:37 Played with the fire.

00:33:38 Got burned.

00:33:40 All right, there we go.

00:33:43 Week one done in the can.

00:33:46 Over to you, Peter.

00:33:48 I was ready for that.

00:33:51 I was very ready to be thrown too.

00:33:55 I have never felt more satisfaction than watching Dan Layton crumble on his booking.

00:34:01 After all the chat, after all the talk in season three.

00:34:06 Well, this is so easy.

00:34:08 Guys, why don't you just do this?

00:34:09 Why don't you just do that?

00:34:10 Why don't you just do this?

00:34:12 And we said, you haven't been here with the time pressure, Dan.

00:34:15 And here we are with the time pressure, Dan.

00:34:19 It's one of the most satisfying things that I've ever seen in my life.

00:34:24 Will these guys book their matches in the correct order?

00:34:27 We'll never know.

00:34:27 And will they book logistics correctly?

00:34:30 Again, an answer we'll never know.

00:34:33 Lots of stuff coming out of week 11.

00:34:35 Am I not doing it correctly?

00:34:36 Oh, who knows, Laurie?

00:34:37 Who could possibly say whether you've booked things or not?

00:34:39 I don't know.

00:34:40 Yeah, exactly.

00:34:41 I have no idea.

00:34:42 You booked the right arena this time.

00:34:44 So that's something.

00:34:44 See?

00:34:45 Yeah.

00:34:46 Yeah, well done you.

00:34:46 That's nice.

00:34:47 There's other things I should be doing.

00:34:48 But the rest of it, you should probably book as well.

00:34:50 What's the other stuff?

00:34:51 Well, the other stuff that helps.

00:34:53 What, like what?

00:34:54 Everything else.

00:34:55 What's the other stuff?

00:34:55 I don't think there is other stuff.

00:34:59 I think people are lying.

00:35:01 There's, well, there's four options on that screen, Laurie.

00:35:03 Yeah.

00:35:04 Who's fucking winning?

00:35:05 That's what I say.

00:35:06 Who's fucking winning?

00:35:07 Ah, crumbly Dan is my favorite kind of Dan.

00:35:13 That's my unstoppable if I was doing logistics properly.

00:35:15 Exactly.

00:35:17 Let's get into some of your ultra chats here.

00:35:20 Send those in to WrestleTalk.com/PFK.

00:35:22 We're going to read out all the ones that are five US dollars and above.

00:35:26 By the time the show goes off the air, get those in and we will read out your comments.

00:35:30 B Tetrick said "Hey Dan, since you are the truth, you should tell Laurie the truth.

00:35:34 That he's a great guy and people like him."

00:35:36 I feel like someone should remind him of that.

00:35:38 He's reminded of that every day is Laurie day.

00:35:41 Every day is Laurie day.

00:35:43 Okay.

00:35:44 It's a jolly Laurie day.

00:35:46 Pepper Lane said "Wednesday Night War?

00:35:50 On my birthday?

00:35:51 What a treat."

00:35:52 An even better treat will be none other than the professor.

00:35:55 The truth.

00:35:55 Dan Layton winning this PLE block.

00:35:58 Truth point zero.

00:36:00 Let's go.

00:36:01 Also, happy birthday Pete.

00:36:03 It's not my birthday.

00:36:03 But happy birthday to you, Pepper Lane.

00:36:06 I hope you're having a wonderful day.

00:36:08 Keep sending in your ultra chats to WrestleTalk.com/PFK.

00:36:12 We are going to be going through all of those by the time the show goes off the air.

00:36:16 The five dollar US amount or up.

00:36:19 We're going to go back over to Laurie and Dan to see if they are able to turn it around.

00:36:25 Also, one last bit.

00:36:26 Just before that.

00:36:27 I would like to point out the sheer braggadocio and arrogance of Dan Layton to say that notes

00:36:36 don't work after crumbling so spectacularly when notes would have saved him.

00:36:43 They wouldn't have.

00:36:43 Let's be honest.

00:36:44 It's incredible.

00:36:45 Regular play would have saved me.

00:36:48 Maybe you should work on that, Dan.

00:36:50 I'm not the one in charge of the budget.

00:36:51 Let's head over back over to Laurie and Dan for week 12, shall we?

00:36:59 Regular note taking wouldn't help.

00:37:03 Didn't help you, did it?

00:37:05 I've won three times in a row, Dan!

00:37:08 It's called the three Pete for a reason.

00:37:11 Yeah.

00:37:12 How original.

00:37:13 Anyway, truth point zero.

00:37:15 I saw someone in the chat saying they would like me to stop singing.

00:37:17 I'm sorry, it's just girls allowed.

00:37:19 They're just like, there's nothing, not a lot I can do.

00:37:20 I'll listen to someone else this time.

00:37:21 It's a natural reaction.

00:37:22 It is.

00:37:23 Do you remember that time that-

00:37:24 Well, also, whenever you sing or perform, it helps you.

00:37:27 Yeah.

00:37:27 I was trying to channel some of the Laurie Blake energy.

00:37:29 Yeah, I just saved mine for Takeover.

00:37:31 That's fair.

00:37:31 That's it.

00:37:32 It's the special week.

00:37:33 It's classic black and gold.

00:37:34 It is classic black and gold.

00:37:35 We're just, we're coasting.

00:37:37 What are you going to listen to this week?

00:37:38 I'm going to listen to this week, uh, Neck Deep's new little thing they've released on Spotify.

00:37:42 We've listened to Neck Deep before.

00:37:43 Neck Deep sounds like a thing that I would enjoy.

00:37:46 Neck Deep.

00:37:46 Oh, right.

00:37:47 Yeah.

00:37:48 Deep.

00:37:48 I thought you were talking about something else.

00:37:50 Anyway.

00:37:51 All right, here we go.

00:37:54 All right, let's go over to the main screen and let's see if we can claw back some of this

00:37:59 deficit using some of that budget.

00:38:01 Uh, all right then, boyo.

00:38:03 Are you ready, Ellis?

00:38:06 Three, two, one, go.

00:38:09 Righty-ho.

00:38:10 Uh, Jinder.

00:38:11 Yeah, I know it is, mate.

00:38:12 You can have whatever you want.

00:38:13 Um, surely you're fine.

00:38:16 Yeah, you're optimistic, so I'm gonna...

00:38:17 Fine, we'll do that.

00:38:20 Um, I don't know if you know this, but I love being in a certain match.

00:38:22 The one on your backstage brawl, nobody does it better than you.

00:38:24 All right, um, I'll book you one in the next two weeks, Charlie.

00:38:28 How about that?

00:38:29 Um, and Kevin Owen says, "If you have any matches, I have room for you.

00:38:33 Sure thing.

00:38:33 The crowd misses cheering for you."

00:38:35 Kevin Owen says, "It's been a show.

00:38:38 Rest your primary solo champions this week."

00:38:40 What do I get if I do that?

00:38:43 Oh!

00:38:43 I need that, don't I?

00:38:48 I could really do with that card.

00:38:52 All right.

00:38:53 First things first, I'm the realist.

00:38:57 Uh, the note I took for myself at the start of this week

00:39:02 was simply, "Sign new women."

00:39:03 Um, and I think we maybe, well, maybe we'll kick off on that.

00:39:08 We're doing...

00:39:09 I'll tell you what.

00:39:11 Um, yikes, that might injure.

00:39:15 Okay, since we've got a hold off on

00:39:20 booking the solo champions, I will have...

00:39:27 Do drop Call Out Zelina to finish that off.

00:39:29 I will have...

00:39:31 Oh, this is why I paid all that money for Austin, isn't it?

00:39:35 Um, is to have him cut promos every week.

00:39:39 Um, let's figure out a main event.

00:39:44 I do run the risk of...

00:39:54 See, Sammy George is angry.

00:39:56 Uh, we'll get Kevin Owens on the show,

00:40:00 and I'll have him go up against Jive Owens.

00:40:05 They're a bruiser and a fighter.

00:40:06 They're the same class,

00:40:08 but we'll have the Owens derby.

00:40:11 Okay, who have I got on the roster?

00:40:16 We got...

00:40:17 Uh, Rhea is a bruiser.

00:40:22 Uh, Candice is a fighter.

00:40:27 Good guy.

00:40:28 Um, Charlotte is a...

00:40:31 So what I would love to find, if I could, is a...

00:40:36 Okay, that's fine.

00:40:37 What we'll do then, we'll go over to the legends.

00:40:41 What lady legends have I got?

00:40:43 Lita is a bad guy.

00:40:45 Beth Phoenix is a bruiser.

00:40:47 Molly Holly!

00:40:47 I love Molly Holly.

00:40:49 Uh, I mean, I guess 10 weeks.

00:40:52 Oh, that's a lot of money.

00:40:53 Who have we got in the free agents pile for?

00:40:58 Hello.

00:40:59 That's fun.

00:41:01 Um, I'm not sure.

00:41:04 Um, who have we got in the free agents pile?

00:41:06 Nikki SH is at 52 for 183,000.

00:41:10 Kind of my only real shot, isn't it?

00:41:13 I'm gonna do it.

00:41:15 I'm gonna get, um...

00:41:16 I think I might bring in Beth Phoenix at 60 popularity.

00:41:24 Um...

00:41:26 Can I afford to do that?

00:41:32 Should I do that?

00:41:33 Yes, fine.

00:41:34 We'll bring in Beth Phoenix.

00:41:35 Beth Phoenix, there you are.

00:41:39 It's lovely to see you and I'll have a contract negotiation.

00:41:42 Want to do that contract negotiation?

00:41:43 Power card, they're useful to have.

00:41:46 Yeah, why not?

00:41:46 Uh, coast to coast, don't bother.

00:41:50 Um...

00:41:52 At Sims, I've got to arrest them all.

00:41:57 I might have to arrest them all.

00:41:58 I might have to arrest them all.

00:41:59 I might have to arrest them all.

00:42:00 I've got to arrest them all.

00:42:02 I might as well use that.

00:42:03 Who will I use that on?

00:42:05 Um...

00:42:06 Who am I going to use it on?

00:42:15 Yeah, I'm going to use it on LA Knight.

00:42:16 Why not?

00:42:17 Feel better, LA.

00:42:19 Thanks for coming.

00:42:20 Okay, so that means in that main event,

00:42:22 I'm going to book Charlotte versus, uh...

00:42:29 Beth Phoenix in a backstage brawl,

00:42:31 because that's what Charlotte wants.

00:42:33 And I will make...

00:42:34 Ah, I know what I'm going to do.

00:42:35 I'm going to make that a Falls Count Anywhere match

00:42:37 and that can go on first,

00:42:38 because I need to book some Falls Count Anywhere matches

00:42:40 for one of my Hall of Fame trophy challenges,

00:42:43 which are all, by the way, very hard.

00:42:46 Um...

00:42:47 What else can we do?

00:42:50 How much time have I got?

00:42:52 Two minutes is not too bad.

00:42:53 Uh, who else was in the roster?

00:42:55 I've got, uh...

00:42:57 There was a Cruiserweight somewhere, wasn't there?

00:42:59 Someone...

00:42:59 Mustafa Ali.

00:43:00 It's a good little Cruiser to have.

00:43:02 Maybe a feud with Marseille.

00:43:05 Dante Roberts.

00:43:07 Oh, you look fabulous.

00:43:08 Um, Sensational Starler.

00:43:11 Ella RuBauw!

00:43:12 Pete Quinnell Classic.

00:43:14 Beth Spartan.

00:43:14 Oh, I could make a Beth tag team.

00:43:16 Maybe I'll keep my...

00:43:18 August the Great!

00:43:19 You're amazing.

00:43:20 Look at you.

00:43:21 August the Great.

00:43:24 Um...

00:43:25 I'll bring in Mustafa Ali.

00:43:29 Why not?

00:43:29 Someone should.

00:43:32 Um...

00:43:32 To have a match with...

00:43:35 Marseille.

00:43:39 Maybe we'll kick off a little feud between them.

00:43:41 Do I want to book another tag team match?

00:43:43 And potentially run the risk of an injury to Randy Orton?

00:43:47 It is likely.

00:43:53 If I just make it a normal match, no, but the title on the line.

00:43:55 Um...

00:43:57 Or maybe...

00:43:58 I could find someone in the pre-agents for...

00:44:02 Rhea Ripley, who is a bruiser.

00:44:06 She could get...

00:44:08 We could get Nikki A.S.H. in.

00:44:09 Steven Malisano for Nikki A.S.H.

00:44:12 I need to fill out...

00:44:13 I need another good guy.

00:44:14 Female specialist.

00:44:17 Whoa!

00:44:17 We're gonna do that?

00:44:19 I've got the money.

00:44:22 183,000 is a lot of money though for...

00:44:25 Someone who I don't know what I'm gonna do with.

00:44:27 Um...

00:44:28 Maybe next week.

00:44:34 In the meantime, I'll recoup some costs by doing an upsetting promo with...

00:44:39 Rhea Ripley.

00:44:40 She can afford to take it.

00:44:41 Uh...

00:44:42 Why not?

00:44:46 Uh, just for funsies.

00:44:48 For variety.

00:44:49 Uh, I've got 16 seconds left.

00:44:51 I'm gonna give Bobby Rooney a chance.

00:44:52 Uh, I've got 16 seconds left.

00:44:54 I'm gonna give Bobby Roode a show out.

00:44:55 Why not?

00:44:56 Um...

00:44:57 Show logistics.

00:45:00 No more power cards I want to get.

00:45:01 All right, there we go.

00:45:03 That looks fine.

00:45:05 Why not?

00:45:06 Slightly more controlled.

00:45:11 Okay.

00:45:13 Slightly more controlled.

00:45:14 Ooh!

00:45:14 Still not, I would say, my happiest I've ever been in my life.

00:45:17 No.

00:45:18 But I think I've done a good show there.

00:45:19 Let's find out.

00:45:22 Ooh!

00:45:23 Let's find out.

00:45:24 Got a lot of emails.

00:45:25 Ugh.

00:45:25 Why not do emails?

00:45:28 Um...

00:45:30 What are you listening to now?

00:45:31 I think I might go over to Jesse Ware.

00:45:32 Jesse Ware?

00:45:33 The Jesse Ware.

00:45:34 Uh, well, we'll probably start with Freak Me Now.

00:45:36 Um, and see where it takes us.

00:45:38 I think the Jesse Ware Shred might be one of my favourite shreds of all time.

00:45:42 What's that?

00:45:42 You know shreds?

00:45:43 Where they make YouTube videos of, like, people doing...

00:45:45 They remove all the kind of production from a song,

00:45:47 and it's just them doing it really badly.

00:45:49 No.

00:45:50 There's an incredible Jesse Ware one.

00:45:51 I'll have to find it.

00:45:52 Yeah, it's so good.

00:45:53 I love... I went to a Jesse Ware gig the other day.

00:45:55 It was fabulous.

00:45:56 That's how I licked my wounds from losing Lord of the Board.

00:45:59 Alright.

00:46:01 Oh, we're gonna start with, uh, Free Yourself.

00:46:03 See you in a bit.

00:46:04 See ya.

00:46:04 Alright.

00:46:06 LS, are you ready?

00:46:08 In three, two, one, go.

00:46:11 Emails!

00:46:12 What do you want, Joel?

00:46:13 Oh, Joel, do I care?

00:46:15 Ugh, 16k, uh, sure.

00:46:20 Yeah, that's fine.

00:46:21 You can stick around.

00:46:22 We just need you.

00:46:23 We need bodies.

00:46:24 Your contract's up at the end of next week.

00:46:26 Oh, Brett, fuck off.

00:46:27 I'm interested in staying.

00:46:29 My cost would be 76.

00:46:30 I'm gonna offer you low, Brett.

00:46:32 And if you stay, you stay.

00:46:33 And if you don't, you don't.

00:46:33 Ooh.

00:46:38 Thanks for your work, Brett.

00:46:41 I won't be renewing the contract.

00:46:42 That doesn't matter.

00:46:45 Carmelo Hayes.

00:46:49 Uh, oh yeah, I do, actually.

00:46:52 Uh, sure thing.

00:46:53 We can absolutely have a match with Carmelo Hayes.

00:46:55 That's absolutely fine.

00:46:57 Julius Creed.

00:46:58 Uh, I don't want a serious injury, says Julius Creed.

00:47:02 That's bad.

00:47:03 Two weeks?!

00:47:05 Ugh.

00:47:08 Ugh.

00:47:10 Yeah, fine.

00:47:14 Prick.

00:47:16 Prick.

00:47:18 Ensure that your least popular available giant is in a match this week.

00:47:21 Well, that's hard because that giant is in a-

00:47:24 [Makes a weird noise]

00:47:26 Anyway, show...

00:47:27 Logistic book this week will be free.

00:47:30 Oh, god.

00:47:31 Free arena book is worth it as well.

00:47:33 Free arena book is a good way.

00:47:34 Let's have a little look at free agents, shall we?

00:47:37 Oh, look!

00:47:37 Tommaso Ciampa's a free agent.

00:47:39 That's funny.

00:47:40 Um, Johnny Gargano's a free agent.

00:47:42 He'd actually be quite cheap to get hold of for 10 weeks.

00:47:46 Uh, you can get permanent Tommaso Ciampa's.

00:47:48 Um, what I'm really looking for is either somebody to take on, uh...

00:47:54 I get Nicky ASH to fight to take on Bayley permanently.

00:47:59 It's gonna cost a lot of my money though.

00:48:01 Um, so do I want to just-

00:48:04 Do I want to tough it out with who I have?

00:48:06 Um, my problem is Big E is dead for weeks now.

00:48:11 So the only power cards can bring Big E back.

00:48:16 Too much physio.

00:48:17 Contract negotiation.

00:48:18 I could activate my contract negotiation.

00:48:20 I keep Brett Harper longer.

00:48:21 Oh, no, I can't because I've told him he's going.

00:48:28 That's fine.

00:48:28 Eight weeks, seven weeks, five weeks.

00:48:30 This is all fine.

00:48:31 That will get me to where I need to go.

00:48:32 Uh, all right, all right, all right, all right.

00:48:36 Terrible burden.

00:48:37 Uh, Bish.

00:48:39 I'm gonna have to go, son.

00:48:41 Oh, you're not even worth that much.

00:48:44 How much are you worth, Will?

00:48:46 Eight thousand.

00:48:47 This is tricky biscuits.

00:48:50 This is tricky biscuits.

00:48:52 All right, we'll come back.

00:48:53 We'll circle back.

00:48:54 We're gonna book some show.

00:48:55 All right, what are we gonna do?

00:48:57 Well, I want to get stuff going between Aska and somebody.

00:49:01 So we'll do Aska and Basler.

00:49:09 We'll just straight up have a title match.

00:49:12 We've got low stamina.

00:49:13 That's bad, but.

00:49:15 I think we'll.

00:49:15 I need something to happen here with them, too.

00:49:19 Realistically.

00:49:21 And then I wanted to do.

00:49:22 I want Bailey to fight against somebody.

00:49:24 Uh, Bailey's got 35 stamina, which isn't great either.

00:49:29 Um, I think the problem is I'm running out of roster now.

00:49:33 I'm seriously running out of roster.

00:49:36 Oh, I could just bring in Trish Stratus, though.

00:49:38 Ten weeks.

00:49:43 Now you got to deal with.

00:49:43 There we go.

00:49:46 We're having Trish Stratus, right?

00:49:48 There we go.

00:49:52 Bailey versus Trish.

00:49:54 Yes, do it right.

00:49:58 And then I had to have my giant in against Ilia.

00:50:01 Do I have another giant?

00:50:05 Have I got a lesser?

00:50:06 Oh, I've got fucking Raquel.

00:50:08 Oh, Raquel.

00:50:12 Right.

00:50:13 We could do.

00:50:14 We've done Raquel versus Io is the problem.

00:50:17 So I could.

00:50:18 What if I swap this around?

00:50:20 What if I binned.

00:50:22 Problem is you don't get as good.

00:50:26 We're not going to get as good synergies here.

00:50:28 So I could turn Raquel.

00:50:31 I could turn Chance.

00:50:32 No, I'm going to stay with that.

00:50:35 I'm going to stick with that.

00:50:36 And then what I might do.

00:50:38 Because this won't start a rivalry.

00:50:41 But will complete my commissioner goal.

00:50:43 So I'm going to do that.

00:50:43 Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:50:48 Undo that.

00:50:50 Because we can book tag match.

00:50:53 I need to unbook this.

00:51:00 How do I just remove the match?

00:51:04 Clear.

00:51:05 I want to clear that match.

00:51:10 Yep, and then in my main event.

00:51:12 Tag team match.

00:51:14 Oh, got a minute.

00:51:15 Blazer and Sky.

00:51:22 Women's tag team titles on the line.

00:51:25 There we go.

00:51:26 Right.

00:51:28 Valor wanted to fight.

00:51:29 Who's he want to fight against?

00:51:31 Who have we got?

00:51:32 Bad biters.

00:51:33 We could do Valor and Hayes.

00:51:35 And then at least that's something sort of happening.

00:51:38 Valor's got such low stamina.

00:51:40 That's so annoying.

00:51:41 Is there anyone else who could take on Hayes?

00:51:43 Julius is having time off.

00:51:45 He's injured.

00:51:46 All right, you're in Wheeler.

00:51:49 And then finally, we need something else.

00:51:53 So we've got Razor.

00:51:55 We've got these two.

00:51:58 I'm going to do the match this week and then rest them next week, I think.

00:52:01 And we just we live in hope that we don't end up in a rivalry.

00:52:08 That we don't end up with serious injuries, I guess.

00:52:12 Oh, it's bad.

00:52:14 It's bad.

00:52:15 We don't like it.

00:52:16 Do we need to role change somebody?

00:52:22 Not right now.

00:52:27 I don't think.

00:52:29 We're just going to do some.

00:52:30 We'll do an advertising with Razor because he's pretty popular.

00:52:37 And then we will do a.

00:52:38 We are just resting all these people, I guess.

00:52:43 So that is fine.

00:52:44 Show logistics.

00:52:46 Let's go bigger.

00:52:47 Why not?

00:52:48 Do I want to do crew?

00:52:52 Fine, we'll do crew.

00:52:56 I don't like this stuff.

00:52:57 This stuff isn't interesting.

00:52:59 And then let's have a quick look at free agents again.

00:53:03 We can get Otis for a little bit of time.

00:53:05 I think we're fine for stuff this week.

00:53:07 Next week, we will panic.

00:53:08 All right, we'll call that.

00:53:13 What's a pachyderm?

00:53:19 Pachyderm?

00:53:21 It's an elephant.

00:53:22 Is it?

00:53:24 Rhino!

00:53:26 Okay.

00:53:26 Thanks.

00:53:29 You're doing quite well at that.

00:53:33 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:34 Yeah.

00:53:35 I had to figure out the word possess.

00:53:36 Whether it's spelled with one or two letters, it's actually spelled with four.

00:53:39 But yeah, but yeah.

00:53:42 How was your week?

00:53:43 It's bad.

00:53:44 The quantity of injuries is really mounting up.

00:53:48 Has it?

00:53:49 And very limiting the amount of matches that I can physically book.

00:53:53 So that's good.

00:53:55 Then everyone else is low on stamina.

00:53:58 Yeah, that's why I don't really have enough money to bring other people in.

00:54:01 It's a problem.

00:54:02 So when Champer decided to turn around and be like, "Can I have 100k to stay?"

00:54:06 And I didn't have 100k to really spend.

00:54:09 Oh, this was last week.

00:54:09 This was last week, right?

00:54:10 Yeah.

00:54:11 That fucked me massively.

00:54:13 Yes.

00:54:13 He was one of the most, he was one of the healthiest people on my roster.

00:54:16 Yeah.

00:54:16 Him and Carmelo Hayes could have just had a perfect little feud.

00:54:19 That small stone has caused a gigantic earthquake within my roster.

00:54:26 Yikes.

00:54:28 Yeah.

00:54:28 And the fissures are still being felt to this day.

00:54:30 That is, yeah.

00:54:31 And so we're going to see, I think, I'm imagining I'm getting another injury this week.

00:54:34 So we'll find out about that.

00:54:35 Yeah.

00:54:36 So my commissioner goal this week, my version of that is I had to rest all my solo champs,

00:54:41 which is a nightmare.

00:54:42 I think I have.

00:54:43 Yeah, I have as far as I can see.

00:54:46 But the power card I might get as a result of it was, I couldn't let it pass.

00:54:52 Yeah.

00:54:52 So that's two weeks in a row that I haven't been able to book the kind of show I wanted to

00:54:56 with the feud ending match that I wanted to.

00:54:58 But I've tried to use that to my benefit.

00:55:01 Sure.

00:55:01 Kevin Owens wanted a match.

00:55:02 So I decided to book the Owens Derby in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

00:55:05 Kevin versus Jive.

00:55:06 Who is going to win to kick off Monday night NXT 2.0 Wednesday night?

00:55:11 They've got a rivalry.

00:55:13 Oh, Owens.

00:55:15 Owens.

00:55:18 Jive-in.

00:55:19 Jive-in Owens.

00:55:20 Jive-in Owens.

00:55:21 That's the tag team.

00:55:22 But when they finish feuding, they're like, "Should we have a tag team?

00:55:25 Should we tag?

00:55:26 We'll have a little tag team."

00:55:27 That's a little L1.

00:55:27 I'll take that.

00:55:29 And then I've decided to just use that.

00:55:30 We're going to allow a week promo from Doudrop.

00:55:32 But it does take that rivalry to a level four, which is what we love to see.

00:55:37 This is where I might come a cropper because Randy Orton-

00:55:42 There's a lot of people.

00:55:42 Yeah.

00:55:43 Randy Orton is on 20.

00:55:45 Everyone else is fine.

00:55:46 I thought I might be able to continue.

00:55:47 I'm trying to make the best of the situation, continue this feud, see if I can get another one.

00:55:51 But Randy's only on 20.

00:55:54 So I've only booked him in a normal match.

00:55:55 I'm hoping Wesley does most of the heavy lifting.

00:55:57 Let's see then.

00:55:59 Oh!

00:56:02 It's taken them to a level three.

00:56:05 Well, you get the two sometimes, don't you, as a tag?

00:56:07 Yeah, because they really hate each other.

00:56:08 But crucially, Randy's fine.

00:56:10 So that gives me the opportunity to rest them a little bit longer.

00:56:12 And I've got something to take into the pay-per-view.

00:56:14 Okay, this isn't going as badly as I thought it was going to be.

00:56:16 Rhea Ripley's going to do some advertising.

00:56:18 Thanks for the-

00:56:19 She did well on the money.

00:56:21 Yeah, good for you.

00:56:22 And only minus two popularity.

00:56:23 That's not bad.

00:56:24 Well done, babes.

00:56:25 I've signed Mustafa Ali.

00:56:27 Yep, because I think it's important to reach out the hand.

00:56:32 And he is cruiserweight.

00:56:34 Good guy.

00:56:34 Marseille could have someone.

00:56:35 And I took Robert Roode in there just because I thought it'd be a bit fun for Robert to have something to do.

00:56:39 Your roster's big as well.

00:56:40 Having said that, I just realized that there are two heels in this triple threat match.

00:56:44 And they don't really like that.

00:56:45 So that's probably going to bring the rating down a bit.

00:56:46 But that's fine.

00:56:47 But Ali wins it and starts a feud with the person he shouldn't have.

00:56:51 Okay, that's fine.

00:56:52 Classic.

00:56:53 Why not?

00:56:55 I paid a lot of money to have Stone Cold Steve Austin cut a couple of promos, apparently.

00:56:59 Yeah, it's good money.

00:57:01 It's well spent.

00:57:02 That's what WWE does.

00:57:03 I mean, I guess he can't wrestle that much.

00:57:05 No, true.

00:57:06 But at least he's growing the rivalry a little bit more.

00:57:08 Yeah, he's so good at this.

00:57:09 And then for our main event, I've signed Beth Phoenix.

00:57:12 I've got Beth Phoenix in because Charlotte really wanted to do a backstage brawl.

00:57:16 She loves them, apparently.

00:57:18 So I have gone and I think it was a backstage brawl.

00:57:20 Hopefully it wasn't something else.

00:57:21 Anyway, she likes that kind of match.

00:57:24 So I've signed Beth Phoenix to give her someone to do it with

00:57:28 and to bring a bit of legendary star power on the show and to stop her from going to AEW.

00:57:33 So let's see how we do with this.

00:57:38 I'd love for it to start a feud, guys.

00:57:39 Yeah!

00:57:40 Oh, it's a good week for you.

00:57:41 All right, then.

00:57:42 That's actually gone quite well.

00:57:44 Thank you very kindly, Charlie.

00:57:47 I'll have a look at my week.

00:57:49 And Betty.

00:57:50 My week of dread.

00:57:51 Here we go.

00:57:52 We're doing this again.

00:57:54 Running back.

00:57:54 We're in danger zone with T-Bar, though.

00:57:58 A little bit.

00:57:58 Yeah, unfortunately, though.

00:57:59 With everyone else injured.

00:58:01 We're a bit fucked on the old roster.

00:58:02 You are, yeah.

00:58:03 We're going to see where we end up.

00:58:04 Winner, T-Bar.

00:58:08 Oh, yes!

00:58:11 That's gone right for you.

00:58:13 Oh, I feel so vindicated.

00:58:16 Oh, T-Bar, you're going to spa next week, son.

00:58:19 You're going to have cucumbers for eyes.

00:58:23 That was at Slapper Jacks, who was Shane Hayes.

00:58:26 I can't remember which one's which.

00:58:29 Right, well done, T-Bar.

00:58:32 Oh, thank fuck for that.

00:58:33 He's going to a spa next week.

00:58:34 MVP.

00:58:35 Bit of...

00:58:36 We'll get some money off Razor while he's still here.

00:58:39 While he's knocking around.

00:58:40 Yeah, he's just kicking about.

00:58:41 Yeah, and then in the mid card, we've got Joel Wheeler versus Carmelo Hayes.

00:58:45 Hayes was insistent on doing something this week.

00:58:48 I was going to book Hayes against Balor.

00:58:50 Ah!

00:58:51 But Balor only has 10 stamina.

00:58:53 What?

00:58:54 To be fair, I have promised T-Bar the spa, but Balor might have to go to Finn.

00:58:59 Especially as we don't have a world champion currently.

00:59:01 Have you promised the spa to T-Bar?

00:59:03 No, I've not promised the spa.

00:59:04 Oh, but like emotionally.

00:59:05 I was emotionally promising him for doing well there.

00:59:07 I will take it back if it's not in email form.

00:59:09 Simulate this.

00:59:11 You keep pushing young talent.

00:59:14 Look at this guy.

00:59:15 Look at this guy.

00:59:17 He is the king of having disappointing matches and beating everyone.

00:59:20 Yeah, and no rivalry.

00:59:22 Yeah.

00:59:23 It's just annoying.

00:59:25 They're both cruisers as well.

00:59:26 Oh, you picked up Trish.

00:59:27 Oh, yeah.

00:59:28 I got Trish strategy.

00:59:28 I nearly picked up Trish.

00:59:29 I went for Betty instead.

00:59:30 Yeah, went for Trish because she was available and she was actually relatively cheap for 10 weeks.

00:59:35 Yeah.

00:59:35 And then hopefully something happens between her and Bailey here.

00:59:38 Start something for God's sake.

00:59:46 Bailey hates rivalry.

00:59:47 She just wants to be friends with everyone.

00:59:49 Bailey is just immune to rivalry.

00:59:50 Even Trish.

00:59:51 It took so much effort to have her have a rivalry with Asuka.

00:59:55 And now she just refuses to do with anyone else.

00:59:57 She said, look, I did one.

00:59:58 All right.

00:59:58 And it took two pay-per-views to get it to the point where I could even fucking pay off.

01:00:02 What is fucking happening?

01:00:04 You knob.

01:00:08 And then we're doing this.

01:00:11 The heel tag teams in like not great Nick.

01:00:17 But yeah, they're all right.

01:00:19 I kind of want like I feel like this is my this this between this and T-Bar and Ilya.

01:00:23 These are going to be my like pay-per-view.

01:00:25 Oh, yeah.

01:00:26 Solid.

01:00:26 I think because I seemingly can't get anything else off the ground.

01:00:30 And Beige isn't even back until the week before the pay-per-view.

01:00:33 And if they do get in trouble, you can afford to give them a rest.

01:00:36 Yeah, I think I can now.

01:00:38 I can now hopefully rest them.

01:00:39 I can just bring in someone else to have.

01:00:40 That's why I also blew up all the solo feuds of everyone here.

01:00:44 So I had options to expand the women's roster out into other directors.

01:00:47 I see.

01:00:48 I can just keep putting Bailey against different people every week and see what sticks.

01:00:51 She won't start a rivalry.

01:00:52 She won't start a rivalry.

01:00:53 At least Trish.

01:00:55 Well, we'll do Trish versus one of these guys and then, you know, we'll see where we end up.

01:00:58 Oh, new tag champs.

01:01:03 That was good.

01:01:04 And the rivalry does not grow.

01:01:08 You had a lovely day.

01:01:10 I had a nice day.

01:01:11 To be fair, I made it through with no injuries.

01:01:14 And that is quite literally all I was like.

01:01:15 Genuinely impressive for you.

01:01:16 Yeah.

01:01:18 I'm very interested.

01:01:19 I feel like I feel like NXT is being filmed in the danger room from X-Men at the moment.

01:01:23 It's just everyone's getting shot.

01:01:25 I didn't even know it was my poor opening again.

01:01:27 Oh, that's so irritating.

01:01:28 Okay.

01:01:29 Uh, you on the other hand, my opening.

01:01:31 So good.

01:01:32 You did it.

01:01:32 You did it exactly as you should.

01:01:34 Um, let me see.

01:01:37 What did I want to check?

01:01:38 I wanted to check this.

01:01:39 I wanted to check how his popularity is doing because he's pushing up there, isn't he?

01:01:45 He is getting up there.

01:01:46 He's going to start pulling out of the bag.

01:01:48 Yeah.

01:01:48 So I mean, also, I'm quite, I'm okay with them not actually forming a rivalry there because

01:01:53 I am actually just waiting for somebody to go against Mello who I want to go against Mello.

01:01:58 Yeah.

01:01:58 Ideally a heel specialist or heel giant.

01:02:01 Um, so that kind of works out.

01:02:04 I have the opposite problem to you, which is a ton of rivalries, but none of any interest.

01:02:07 I came into this with this entire page of rivalries and then they drop like flies.

01:02:13 Because Riddle is injured.

01:02:15 Uh, he's injured.

01:02:17 He's injured.

01:02:18 Yeah.

01:02:18 Or he left and he's injured.

01:02:20 Yeah.

01:02:20 Like.

01:02:20 All right, let's go over here.

01:02:24 So that like cocky paying off the big rivalry on the first show actually flopped for me.

01:02:28 That's not great.

01:02:31 Made a profit though.

01:02:32 Yeah, but I've only gone up 38,000 fans.

01:02:36 So Charlotte is a natural at backstage brawl after all.

01:02:39 That's fine.

01:02:41 Um, and he signed Beth.

01:02:45 How good?

01:02:45 Maybe it's just me, but I think the perfect triple threat match.

01:02:48 Yeah, I knew that.

01:02:49 I knew it.

01:02:50 Um, probably pretty good.

01:02:54 Rumors we signed Ali.

01:02:55 Don't know how I feel about Owens versus Owens.

01:02:57 Yeah, know what you mean.

01:02:58 Maybe I'll do a heel turn.

01:03:00 Um, Stone Cold sure spends more time running his mouth and fighting in the ring.

01:03:05 Well, maybe if you were better.

01:03:06 I'm good.

01:03:07 Right.

01:03:07 Okay.

01:03:08 I'm not ecstatic about any of that.

01:03:10 No.

01:03:10 Screen to be honest with you.

01:03:11 Let's have a little look at mine.

01:03:12 Continue.

01:03:14 Oh God.

01:03:17 Okay.

01:03:17 That's all right.

01:03:18 That's okay.

01:03:19 What was your superstar shakeup card?

01:03:22 Um, something about fighters having good match quality.

01:03:26 Ah, mine.

01:03:27 They were all crap.

01:03:27 My fan retention is good.

01:03:29 Oh, that'll do it.

01:03:31 Fan retention.

01:03:32 That's great.

01:03:33 Yeah, it's okay.

01:03:34 Because mine was bronze, bronze, bronze.

01:03:37 Mine was bronze, bronze, gold.

01:03:39 And I took the only gold one.

01:03:40 Yeah.

01:03:41 Yeah, yeah.

01:03:41 I'll do it.

01:03:42 My other two weren't now.

01:03:42 So that's okay.

01:03:44 And I've made money.

01:03:45 I like money.

01:03:47 You know what?

01:03:49 Money's great.

01:03:50 And the good thing about money is, right?

01:03:51 The great thing about money is.

01:03:53 I might be able to buy a human being to actually have a wrestling match.

01:03:57 Hey, apparently you don't need to.

01:04:00 You can book him having no future.

01:04:01 You're still going to get 45.

01:04:02 I can apparently book these sad sacks of fucking potatoes I'm calling a roster.

01:04:06 And just bump them together every week.

01:04:08 And I'm doing okay.

01:04:09 But like, imagine if I had a human being.

01:04:11 Like one, just like one or two fresh, supple human beings to send into the ring.

01:04:18 To beat the living tar out of each other.

01:04:20 I wasn't just sending in some cloths I've stitched together hastily.

01:04:24 And going, that's a wrestling match.

01:04:25 That's a wrestling.

01:04:26 You like wrestling fans.

01:04:28 Anyway, another match ruined by a DQ.

01:04:30 Way to go, Bailey.

01:04:31 See, she's not even doing it properly.

01:04:33 Wow, Trish Stratus was on the card tonight.

01:04:35 Grew up watching Trish.

01:04:36 Awesome to see her again.

01:04:37 Shame she can't get into a rivalry.

01:04:40 Good show tonight, NXT.

01:04:41 Shayna and Io take the NXT Women Tag Team Champion.

01:04:44 They're going to get a rest.

01:04:44 Io and Shayna.

01:04:45 Brett Hobscott's got some stuff to say.

01:04:47 No chemistry!

01:04:48 Maybe up to the usual dirty tricks against Carmelo Hayes.

01:04:53 Yes, Brett.

01:04:53 Well done.

01:04:54 Really missing Matt Riddle.

01:04:56 Hoping for a quick recovery.

01:04:57 Yeah, me fucking too, dipshit.

01:04:59 Ramon trying to sell us stuff tonight.

01:05:03 But at least was fairly entertaining.

01:05:04 Great match that was T-Bar today.

01:05:07 Shodilya Dragunov, who was boss T-Bar,

01:05:09 settles the score with Dragunov.

01:05:11 NXT has the bestest rivalries.

01:05:13 Ooh, okay.

01:05:16 Ooh, and you got a veto champ.

01:05:20 Yeah, that's why I had to rest on my champs.

01:05:22 Because I was like, I can't pass that one off.

01:05:24 No.

01:05:24 So we both have a veto champ now.

01:05:27 I'll see you at the pay-per-view.

01:05:29 And then I got...

01:05:31 Oh man, that's going to be really good.

01:05:35 Especially for your money.

01:05:36 Yep.

01:05:36 So there we go.

01:05:38 I'm quite far ahead.

01:05:43 You are quite far.

01:05:44 How about 40,000?

01:05:44 You're a whole show ahead.

01:05:45 Yeah.

01:05:46 Ooh.

01:05:47 Fuck.

01:05:48 Fuckity balls.

01:05:49 Ooh.

01:05:50 Pete, save me.

01:05:53 Well, that was quite the week, wasn't it?

01:06:00 Week 12 of this one.

01:06:02 We got Tristraz being brought in.

01:06:04 But once again, I find myself asking,

01:06:07 will somebody please think of the match order?

01:06:09 Because yet again, not booked in the correct order.

01:06:12 Back off!

01:06:13 And I will call it out every time.

01:06:15 Mine was.

01:06:16 Because somebody had a lot of lip on the season three live streams.

01:06:19 So just return in the favor.

01:06:21 It's a great time.

01:06:23 The logistics were almost booked correctly this time.

01:06:26 It was very nice.

01:06:28 It was better.

01:06:28 Was it perfect?

01:06:30 No.

01:06:30 That was the second thing.

01:06:31 But that's okay.

01:06:32 I'll press two buttons this time.

01:06:34 He's getting there.

01:06:35 He'll learn one day.

01:06:36 I don't want to do the other ones.

01:06:37 I'm not interested in fireworks.

01:06:39 And the various scraps of paper that Laurie is sticking together that he calls a roster.

01:06:44 It will surely crumble at some point.

01:06:47 But somehow injuries avoided this week.

01:06:50 We'll see how much longer that can go.

01:06:52 Is it sustainable?

01:06:53 Definitely not.

01:06:54 Let's get into another one of your ultra chats here.

01:06:57 Keep sending those in at rustledoc.com/pfk.

01:07:00 Getting your support for Laurie or Dan.

01:07:02 Any tips and advice?

01:07:04 They might need it.

01:07:05 Who knows?

01:07:06 Or it might be redundant.

01:07:07 If you've got song suggestions, let us know as well.

01:07:10 Like this one that comes in from Randy Tio.

01:07:12 That said, "Dan, can you listen to two pop punk songs by Whalwin called Enemy and Screwjob97?"

01:07:19 Screwjob97 is about how the singer's ex cheated on him while on a work trip in Montreal.

01:07:24 And Enemy almost sounds like it's a song about Sami Zayn and the Bloodline.

01:07:27 All right.

01:07:28 I'll whack him on.

01:07:30 He'll whack him on.

01:07:31 There you go.

01:07:32 You heard it here first.

01:07:32 Keep sending in your ultra chats to rustledoc.com/pfk.

01:07:36 Any bits of support?

01:07:39 I think they both need it.

01:07:40 I feel like they're both feeling a little wounded from this stream today.

01:07:44 Nothing really going right for either of them.

01:07:47 But Laurie is continuing to pull ahead.

01:07:49 That Superstar Shake-Up card, that fan retention rate may turn out to be crucial in the long run here.

01:07:57 But with that said, I believe it is time to head back over to Laurie and Dan for week number 13.

01:08:04 It's always good when you've written down your match order in an attempt to plan ahead.

01:08:11 And my plans go someone versus blank.

01:08:14 Someone versus somebody I hopefully buy from the shop.

01:08:21 And then match three, it just says some fucking bullshit, no doubt.

01:08:25 I love that what you've not done is you've not written a match order so much as you've just

01:08:28 copied the template from the game.

01:08:30 Yeah, well I've put the word Trish in one of them.

01:08:32 Trish will do something this week.

01:08:35 If in doubt, Trish Stratus.

01:08:36 Um, right.

01:08:39 I mean, I am visibly rattled.

01:08:41 So what are you doing now?

01:08:42 Are you going...

01:08:42 I'm gonna listen to someone else.

01:08:43 Who am I gonna listen to?

01:08:44 Don't know.

01:08:46 Let's have a look.

01:08:47 What are you offering Spotify?

01:08:49 My Spotify raptors are gonna be so odd this year.

01:08:53 David Bowie.

01:08:54 Oh, I'm gonna listen to the car.

01:08:56 Just what I needed.

01:08:57 There you go.

01:08:58 Bye.

01:08:59 All right, here we go.

01:09:00 Pretty sure out in three, two, one, go.

01:09:04 Trouble.

01:09:06 It's a match between.

01:09:06 Yeah, yeah, bugger off.

01:09:07 I know that feels good to be the best.

01:09:11 Wouldn't you agree?

01:09:11 I'm the best superstar around.

01:09:12 I'm not sure what I'm expecting out of this, but I had to let you know.

01:09:15 You're annoyed.

01:09:17 Well, you are annoyed.

01:09:18 Fine, I'll give you 50,000.

01:09:21 Sure.

01:09:22 Um.

01:09:22 Elena, you don't seem to realize it's about a bit of a mess around the mic.

01:09:28 Yeah, I want to make my market a promo.

01:09:30 Okay, sure.

01:09:31 Because I can't really blow your feud off yet, can I?

01:09:34 Because the plan is to blow off this feud for the women's title in a submission match.

01:09:40 And that could be my main event.

01:09:45 Have a really good start to the show.

01:09:48 And I'm going to put these two in a...

01:09:50 Now that we're back to some form, I can actually have them wrestle.

01:09:53 That's nice.

01:09:54 Um.

01:09:55 I'll give them a table match to kick off the show.

01:09:59 Uh.

01:10:00 Do this before I forget.

01:10:03 Do some logistics.

01:10:04 I've done all three, Pete.

01:10:05 Done four yet.

01:10:07 Uh, get the tables right.

01:10:09 Okay, so I am absolutely doing this now.

01:10:12 I made a pledge at the start of this week that I was going to, um, buy all of the, uh,

01:10:18 these type of things.

01:10:19 The match boosting things.

01:10:21 Because, Lord knows I need it.

01:10:23 I need it.

01:10:23 Sure, the Judo Cup's promo this week.

01:10:25 Will I get a pre-match physio?

01:10:26 Not really the most worth it when I need to blow that feud off.

01:10:28 Although, what week are we on?

01:10:30 How far are we away from the...

01:10:31 We're only two shows to survive a series.

01:10:35 I don't need to blow that feud off.

01:10:39 Do I?

01:10:41 If I have a self-promo...

01:10:45 She'll gain six or so stamina back, won't she?

01:10:48 She won't gain...

01:10:49 She'll gain some stamina back.

01:10:51 Um, and what I will do is have...

01:10:56 Charlotte and Beth have another go.

01:11:00 Well, I might have Beth Phoenix call out Charlotte to give one of them a rest.

01:11:06 Right.

01:11:06 Um.

01:11:08 Who are my other tag champs?

01:11:12 Are we going to be doing a tag team?

01:11:13 Who are my other tag champs?

01:11:14 Have we got those two?

01:11:15 Oh, right, fine.

01:11:17 Um.

01:11:18 Other famous people I could have on my show?

01:11:24 Well, I need Rhea Ripley to have a fight, so let's go and see who we can assign.

01:11:27 Um.

01:11:28 Good guy bruiser.

01:11:31 Good guy fighter, even, I need for...

01:11:34 Nova Northern Light.

01:11:37 Ooh, Nova Northern Light.

01:11:40 That's exciting.

01:11:42 Um.

01:11:42 Legends wise, well I've got...

01:11:48 Stacey Keebler.

01:11:52 Do I want to do that?

01:11:53 I don't think so.

01:11:54 Um, I might...

01:11:56 Hashtag take a chance on Nova Northern Light, you know?

01:12:00 Um, four minutes.

01:12:02 That's...

01:12:03 Oh, I should probably book a show, bloody hell.

01:12:05 Um.

01:12:05 Oh yeah, he wants to cut a promo.

01:12:11 Fine, you can do that because I know you'll do quite well.

01:12:13 69 popularity, nice.

01:12:15 Although if I give you a self promo, you can boost that a little bit.

01:12:18 Um.

01:12:19 See, oh, he's catching up on me with money.

01:12:22 Urgh!

01:12:23 What am I gonna do?

01:12:25 Logistics wise, is there anything that I can book at the end of this week?

01:12:29 Season 20.

01:12:31 I need to save some money for that arena, don't I?

01:12:33 Okay, fine.

01:12:34 Um.

01:12:37 In that case, this will be my main event.

01:12:40 And we'll make it a...

01:12:41 Uh.

01:12:43 Stamina cost extreme, stamina cost low.

01:12:46 Might make it a last man standing match.

01:12:49 Um, and...

01:12:53 No.

01:12:59 Okay.

01:12:59 Change plan, change plan.

01:13:02 Charlotte Flair and Beth Phoenix can open the show.

01:13:05 We'll give them a tables match.

01:13:07 And we'll have...

01:13:08 A role change promo for...

01:13:10 Kevin Owens.

01:13:16 Because I would like to work towards a different feud for the future.

01:13:21 So Kevin Owens can be in the Owen Derby as a bad guy.

01:13:26 Um.

01:13:28 I will make that an advertising promo in that case.

01:13:30 And then I need to find Summit for the midcard.

01:13:33 Um.

01:13:36 *Sigh*

01:13:40 Fine.

01:13:41 You'll do.

01:13:41 Um, and then...

01:13:43 Ali and Bobby Roode.

01:13:46 Can I...

01:13:47 If I book a bit of hallway.

01:13:48 Is there anyone else I can book in that?

01:13:49 Are there any other feuds that I can...

01:13:51 Um.

01:13:53 Not really.

01:13:55 Am I missing something?

01:14:00 I feel like I'm missing something.

01:14:05 I need to rest Randy.

01:14:06 They're fine.

01:14:07 Um.

01:14:12 We'll make it a triple threat match.

01:14:16 Because then I can put Jive Owens in there.

01:14:18 Oh no, he's in his 11th stamina!

01:14:19 Put...

01:14:20 Like...

01:14:21 F we will.

01:14:22 Um, alright.

01:14:24 Oh, maybe I won't do...

01:14:29 Yeah, no I will.

01:14:30 Because then I can do...

01:14:30 Just a promo.

01:14:32 For the week ahead.

01:14:34 Minute and 31.

01:14:36 Okay.

01:14:36 Everybody calm down.

01:14:38 Especially you.

01:14:40 15 shows.

01:14:42 8 shows with interference.

01:14:45 In that case.

01:14:46 Uh, we'll put Marseille in there.

01:14:51 And I'll do a run in from...

01:14:53 Um.

01:14:55 Bobbles on Mustafa Ali.

01:14:57 Because I need to get these trophies completed.

01:15:00 15 shows without injuries on the way.

01:15:01 5 shows with GM interference.

01:15:03 Well, I could do that now.

01:15:05 Yeah, I'll do one of those.

01:15:05 I'll do it for Rhea.

01:15:08 Why not?

01:15:09 Um.

01:15:10 Doesn't make any difference really to me.

01:15:15 49 seconds left!

01:15:17 Um.

01:15:17 8 shows with a charity promo.

01:15:22 That's an easy one to do.

01:15:24 Yeah, I'll give her the charity promo.

01:15:28 And that'll balance out the advertising cost.

01:15:29 One of the worst and expensive week of promos.

01:15:31 But I kind of need to do it.

01:15:32 Um.

01:15:33 I need more.

01:15:34 Oh, oh!

01:15:34 Hate this game!

01:15:36 Hate this game!

01:15:38 I think probably that's where I'm at.

01:15:43 I think that'll do.

01:15:47 I could book a-

01:15:48 I could book a horse cart anywhere.

01:15:49 But that's a high cost of stamina.

01:15:53 *Grunts*

01:15:55 I think we're good.

01:15:57 I think we're gonna have to be good.

01:15:59 Everything's fine.

01:16:00 I'm just gonna do it.

01:16:01 I'm just gonna do it.

01:16:02 Everything's fine.

01:16:03 Yeah.

01:16:05 Done!

01:16:06 How was it?

01:16:10 Not the best.

01:16:11 Yeah.

01:16:12 But not the worst either.

01:16:14 You know?

01:16:14 Could- could be- could be-

01:16:16 It could be dreadful.

01:16:17 But it wasn't dreadful.

01:16:18 Oh, okay.

01:16:19 So we'll take it.

01:16:20 Very nice.

01:16:21 Okey-cokey.

01:16:23 Let's have a look.

01:16:23 Screwjob97.

01:16:25 Oh, this doesn't look so well at the beginning of my emails.

01:16:30 *Laughs*

01:16:31 Uh, Screwjob97.

01:16:33 Just getting a lot of podcasts about the Montreal Screwjob.

01:16:39 Our original.

01:16:40 Very good.

01:16:41 Okay, here we go.

01:16:42 See you later.

01:16:43 See you later.

01:16:43 You ready, Ellis?

01:16:45 In three, two, one, go!

01:16:49 What are you saying, Matt Riddle?

01:16:50 Your contract's up at the end of the week, I know.

01:16:51 It would cost 56.

01:16:54 Uh, yeah, I'll make that happen.

01:16:56 That's absolutely fine.

01:16:59 Bailey.

01:17:00 NXT is making waves and I'll be the frontrunner of all the ups and downs.

01:17:04 I've never been on this kind of role before in my career.

01:17:06 If only you could have a rivalry, you goddamn asshole.

01:17:09 I want us to be on the same page about this.

01:17:10 Do you think I've-

01:17:11 Do you appreciate-

01:17:14 I absolutely appreciate what you bring to-

01:17:16 Offer you a bonus?

01:17:22 Every time I get money, they're just after it immediately.

01:17:25 Oh, yeah, fine, Bailey.

01:17:27 Fine.

01:17:28 Oh, these money grubbers.

01:17:34 Team up for a big match.

01:17:38 Oh, you make an awesome tag team.

01:17:40 Oh, in the next few weeks.

01:17:45 Oh, I haven't got enough men to have a tag team match.

01:17:48 You bastard.

01:17:50 You bastard.

01:17:52 Oh, I'm gonna promise it and then see where we go.

01:17:56 Hopefully, they're-

01:17:57 I have at least one last man standing.

01:18:00 Yeah, you can fuck off.

01:18:02 I'm not doing that.

01:18:02 Jesus Christ.

01:18:04 Right, here we go.

01:18:05 We're gonna health spa.

01:18:07 Uh...

01:18:12 T-bar.

01:18:15 I want a ticket to a health spa.

01:18:17 I want a ticket to a health spa.

01:18:19 I want a ticket to a health spa.

01:18:22 Uh, all right, cool.

01:18:24 Let's book some show.

01:18:26 So...

01:18:26 This is my big issue, I think, is that I just don't actually have any men's or any women's

01:18:34 on my roster anymore.

01:18:36 Or could have Kirk the Kingston come in and do some stuff.

01:18:39 That might be quite good.

01:18:41 What do I really need, though?

01:18:43 What I really need is a...

01:18:46 I need a bad giant, ideally.

01:18:52 Right, we're gonna start with the booking.

01:18:55 We're gonna do Trish versus Bayley.

01:18:58 And by God in hell is it going to happen!

01:19:01 Right, we're gonna do...

01:19:04 How's Bay's stamina?

01:19:07 It's bad.

01:19:09 There's- I need to rest them, really.

01:19:12 I think just for the purposes of having a match, I might just do Asuka versus Raquel,

01:19:17 right here.

01:19:17 Without the title, Sans title.

01:19:24 I need to do...

01:19:25 I want Carmelo to do something.

01:19:28 Right, he's three weeks, he's three weeks.

01:19:30 T-Bar is busy one week.

01:19:32 We do need to just bring someone in.

01:19:34 So a babyface bruiser, ideally, to take on Reiza.

01:19:40 I've got a babyface cruiser, babyface bruiser.

01:19:44 I can't really afford to buy...

01:19:47 I could get Apollo cruiser.

01:19:53 Oh my god, this is so bad, this is so bad.

01:19:57 Oh, I don't want to bring in Lacey Evans.

01:19:59 I don't want to bring her in!

01:20:01 Could bring in JC Jane.

01:20:03 Oh, could bring in Shotzi to go against Raquel.

01:20:08 Yes!

01:20:09 She's permanent and she's cheap.

01:20:11 But I've already done this with Raquel, that's fine, I can do this.

01:20:18 Aha.

01:20:22 Right, okay.

01:20:23 I think I might just have to risk this this week.

01:20:30 No, I think I...

01:20:34 Actually, I can't risk that this week.

01:20:36 Fuck!

01:20:36 Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck!

01:20:38 Uh, Melo versus...

01:20:41 Bala, in the hopes of getting something started there.

01:20:45 And then finally...

01:20:46 You have to have a rest, don't you, Mr. fucking loser?

01:20:52 Uh, could do that.

01:20:54 Problem is, this feels like the rest...

01:20:56 This feels like the rest week, right?

01:20:58 This feels like the week to have everyone just be okay.

01:21:01 No, I think we just have to call this week what it is.

01:21:14 It is a rest week.

01:21:21 Yeah, I think we just have to call it what it is.

01:21:24 Even though there is no feud.

01:21:26 Uh, actually I'm just going to do Razor versus Wheeler.

01:21:31 This is a bad week for me, because this is the week where I need to rest every human being

01:21:38 possible and I'm really sad about the Bala Hayes thing having to be on here, because that is real

01:21:44 bad.

01:21:44 Right.

01:21:48 I don't even want to spend...

01:21:49 I don't even want to spend money.

01:21:51 I'm just going to put...

01:21:52 I'm going to put it at the Capital Wrestling Centre and that is it.

01:21:55 I don't want to spend too much, because this is a shit week for me, money-wise, now.

01:22:01 Desperately trying to get something going.

01:22:04 And it's just...

01:22:07 It's just not happening.

01:22:08 Right, because these guys actually have a class matchup, they're going to go here.

01:22:11 This nonsense is abhorrent.

01:22:15 Absolute trash.

01:22:17 Garbage fire.

01:22:19 Terrible midcard.

01:22:20 Hate that.

01:22:20 I'm utterly disappointed by it.

01:22:23 We could have Asuka...

01:22:25 We're going to try and get the Asuka/Baeza thing going as well.

01:22:30 Might as well.

01:22:32 We're here, why not?

01:22:34 And then I think what we're going to just generally do is...

01:22:38 Charity.

01:22:41 We're going to charity the shit out of the week, in the hopes of...

01:22:45 That will do for me, I think.

01:22:47 Right, so that is one of the worst weeks of television I've ever booked for this show.

01:22:56 And that will have to be that.

01:23:00 He would have been cheap, could have got him.

01:23:03 Ten weeks.

01:23:05 This issue with this...

01:23:09 All these injuries are just...

01:23:11 Fucking me off.

01:23:13 Like, three weeks.

01:23:16 Three weeks.

01:23:17 Lost Brett.

01:23:19 Lost Champa, lost Johnny.

01:23:21 Lost... who's the other one?

01:23:24 He's not gone yet, that's fine.

01:23:25 And then everyone coming around being like, "Can I just have £50,000?

01:23:28 Can I just have £50,000, please?"

01:23:31 No!

01:23:32 No, you can't have £50,000!

01:23:35 I need the £50,000 to buy somebody else another game of Tekken.

01:23:39 £50,000 to buy somebody else another sack of meat that I can send into the fucking furnace

01:23:45 every week, who won't get injured.

01:23:47 That's what I need the £50,000 for.

01:23:49 Got over time now, because I'm too busy talking about the £50,000.

01:23:53 All right?

01:23:54 Bad week.

01:24:01 Oh no!

01:24:02 Why?

01:24:02 Because everyone...

01:24:05 Every time I open my emails, some fucker is asking me for $50,000.

01:24:09 One...

01:24:11 Please, sir!

01:24:12 One sixth of my money.

01:24:13 Every week, somebody's asking me for one sixth of my money,

01:24:18 and then when I don't give it to them, they want to leave.

01:24:20 And then my roster gets smaller and smaller and smaller until it's just the same fucking

01:24:24 four toys banging together every week until they die.

01:24:27 And then they go, "I'm injured!

01:24:29 Why did you let me get injured?"

01:24:30 Because you're the only one fucking here!

01:24:32 [Laughter]

01:24:37 Mine are all fine.

01:24:37 I hate this game!

01:24:38 And yet you're winning!

01:24:41 You're still somehow winning!

01:24:44 I've got a hernia!

01:24:45 Unreal scene!

01:24:47 Really sore ulcers!

01:24:49 I've tried really hard this week to figure it out.

01:24:53 Good.

01:24:53 I listened to Pete, even.

01:24:55 I tried that hard.

01:24:56 I listened to Pete Quinnell for advice.

01:25:00 Jesus, these are dire straits.

01:25:02 All right, what I've done...

01:25:03 Yeah, go on.

01:25:04 ...is I've followed this through.

01:25:06 I've given a little tables match to try and follow on their feud.

01:25:09 Bit of star power involved.

01:25:10 We've got a legend, got a specialist, got a feud going, and a tables match to open the show.

01:25:16 What are they going to do with it?

01:25:17 Surely it'll be good!

01:25:19 Oh, it's great!

01:25:21 And they go up a rivalry.

01:25:22 That's what we were hoping for.

01:25:24 Dewdrop's got a charity promo.

01:25:25 A ChazzaPromes.

01:25:27 A ChazzaPromes.

01:25:27 She wanted to do that.

01:25:29 Oh, no, wait, that was my commissioner goal.

01:25:31 She wanted to cut a...

01:25:31 I need to cut a promo.

01:25:32 Put them together.

01:25:34 Another GM interference, because why not?

01:25:36 Yeah, why not?

01:25:36 See if anything happens of this.

01:25:38 Shouldn't.

01:25:40 So that's fine.

01:25:41 That's fine!

01:25:42 That is what we wanted to happen.

01:25:44 No further things I have to deal with, and it wasn't as good as the opener, and I've done a GM interference.

01:25:49 That's fine.

01:25:50 LA Knight, however, wanted to cut a promo.

01:25:52 Oh, he did.

01:25:53 You might not realise this, but I'm quite good at promos.

01:25:55 I'm actually quite good, you guys.

01:25:56 So...

01:25:58 Yeah, Rikuch is actually so good at promos, he's lost eight popularity.

01:26:02 Well done.

01:26:03 Good job, LA Knight.

01:26:05 I've always been saying it.

01:26:07 LA Knight, he's an okay promo.

01:26:09 Whacked in a little run-in to see what that's going to do.

01:26:11 Surely it'll...

01:26:15 Oh, it did!

01:26:15 Actually, continue feed.

01:26:16 Those run-ins, I've actually never had success with them going a right route before.

01:26:21 I guess the benefit of them is that you can just book a random match, and it still furthers your...

01:26:26 You can fill the spot with, like, "Oh, this person's got low stamina, so I'll book them on the run-in."

01:26:30 It's supposed to be, but it never happened.

01:26:31 You really have to pay attention to that.

01:26:32 It never works, but it has in this instance worked.

01:26:35 And I've decided Kevin is going to be the one in the Owens derby to change.

01:26:40 Oh, very good.

01:26:40 So they were the same, and they started the feud as both babyfaces.

01:26:45 Yeah, and I could have kept them both babyfaces, but I have future plans for Kevin Owens.

01:26:49 Right, yes.

01:26:50 What, Stone Cold Steve Austin?

01:26:53 Possibly.

01:26:53 The stunner derby.

01:26:55 I didn't even think of calling that.

01:26:57 Yeah, they've both got stunners.

01:26:58 Finally, finally, I can book them in a match together.

01:27:02 How has everyone on your roster got such good stamina?

01:27:03 Well, last week I had to rest everybody.

01:27:05 What's happening to my roster?

01:27:06 And maybe I'm just better than you.

01:27:08 They don't...

01:27:09 Here's my thing.

01:27:09 Score doesn't say so, does it?

01:27:10 They don't have...

01:27:11 They don't have good stamina at the start of my weeks.

01:27:16 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:16 Which means I have to work through that to build my way up, and then you beat me in the takeover anyway.

01:27:21 That's because of what I've done.

01:27:22 You've watched the driest NXT ever existed, naturally, in my one.

01:27:26 I've tried to do another furtherance of this, so I've given them a last man standing match

01:27:31 for the world title to see what happens.

01:27:32 Will it change the hands?

01:27:34 It does!

01:27:36 Here's your NXT champion.

01:27:38 Stone Cold Steve Austin.

01:27:41 You all doubted Jinder Mahal, but look at the material.

01:27:43 Look at him pull it out of the bag.

01:27:44 He's actually doing really well.

01:27:45 All right, happy days.

01:27:48 I think that's a successful week for Dan.

01:27:49 Dry!

01:27:50 Here we go.

01:27:51 What a dry week for NXT.

01:27:53 This worked really well last week, didn't it?

01:27:55 This went well last week, so we do it again.

01:27:57 And this week we pray for the rivalry.

01:27:59 Oh, hey!

01:28:02 Thanks.

01:28:06 You can have a rivalry or a decent card.

01:28:08 You cannot have both.

01:28:10 Sweet baby Jesus.

01:28:11 Sweet baby Jesus.

01:28:12 So, Bayley and Trish.

01:28:15 That's good.

01:28:16 But now we need to rest Bayley.

01:28:19 This brand has got more stamina.

01:28:22 Right, Asuka, do something.

01:28:23 Yes!

01:28:25 You silly goose.

01:28:27 Off we go.

01:28:27 Now we're off to the races.

01:28:29 You silly goose.

01:28:31 I haven't heard silly goose in a long time.

01:28:33 Level one rivalry.

01:28:35 Do you know what?

01:28:36 It's a dry week of telly, but my god, does it do stuff.

01:28:40 This is dangerous for Finn.

01:28:41 It is dangerous for Finn.

01:28:42 It is.

01:28:42 Oh, it's only a normal match.

01:28:44 Yeah.

01:28:44 What could go wrong?

01:28:46 What could go wrong?

01:28:47 Carmelo Hayes wins.

01:28:48 The rivalry begins, which is what we wanted.

01:28:51 Nothing goes wrong, really.

01:28:52 Yeah, Hayes.

01:28:53 This is a good show for you with your 0.25% bonus.

01:28:57 Yes.

01:28:57 I mean, this is the thing.

01:28:58 I was like, I'm just going to play it safe.

01:29:01 I did spend some money this week.

01:29:03 Did you?

01:29:04 Yeah, I've spent quite a lot of money this week.

01:29:05 So I had to give Bayley a $50,000 bonus.

01:29:08 Oh, she wanted the bonus.

01:29:09 And I had to pay someone else to extend their contract as well,

01:29:11 which was up at the end of the week, Matt Riddle.

01:29:13 Oh, yeah.

01:29:14 So I had to extend his contract as well.

01:29:16 I've done that.

01:29:17 Got this going in the mid card.

01:29:18 That's exciting.

01:29:19 People will love this.

01:29:21 Let's see if you can beat another legend.

01:29:22 This streak is over.

01:29:26 Oh, good.

01:29:26 Joel Wheeler's injured.

01:29:27 Oh, but a new streak in the news.

01:29:29 A dull affair as Joel Wheeler is injured for two weeks.

01:29:34 He can't even do that, right?

01:29:35 You have such shit of a game.

01:29:38 He's still winning.

01:29:41 I bet he's going to get like 70,000 pounds.

01:29:44 I've taken 10 years off my life playing this game.

01:29:46 I wasn't bald before I started doing this.

01:29:49 Right.

01:29:50 And then we bought permanent Shotzi Black.

01:29:53 Oh, TCB.

01:29:55 So we've permanently bought Shotzi in the hopes of having the Raquel and Shotzi feud

01:30:01 as something to do on the off weeks between the tag match, which I actually need to happen.

01:30:06 So we're going to do this.

01:30:07 Surely it's going to go well.

01:30:09 It was okay.

01:30:11 No fucking rivalry.

01:30:14 But look at your graph.

01:30:16 Yeah.

01:30:18 It's the right kind of graph.

01:30:21 The game doesn't take into account too much the fact that your matches are all so shit.

01:30:25 Yes.

01:30:25 We're going to have one bad week and also next week.

01:30:30 I'm going to make absolutely certain I've got no injury there.

01:30:32 No, no, no.

01:30:33 Everything's fine.

01:30:34 How many weeks is it before the paper due?

01:30:35 Four and then the paper due is five weeks.

01:30:37 Yeah.

01:30:37 So we've got one more show.

01:30:38 One more show and then a big rest for everyone.

01:30:41 Yeah.

01:30:41 If only I didn't have the book matches.

01:30:43 You could just buy a bunch of handouts at the paper due.

01:30:46 You do.

01:30:47 That's massive.

01:30:48 It's tasty.

01:30:48 You can afford the, you know, because that'll get you a ton of money.

01:30:53 Yes.

01:30:54 So, right.

01:30:55 That's what we hope.

01:30:56 Let's have a look here.

01:30:57 How are we doing on getting some more fans?

01:30:59 53,000 fans!

01:31:00 We've done very well there on fans.

01:31:02 That's, I'll need more stuff like that.

01:31:05 Match card quality B, star power bonuses, show bonuses, all the hits.

01:31:09 How does your money keep going up?

01:31:12 How?

01:31:13 I don't actually know.

01:31:16 Do you have people just coming to you and asking for money every week?

01:31:18 No, mine come up to me and they go, can I, um, no, actually,

01:31:21 Dew dropped it this week.

01:31:22 Yeah.

01:31:23 I gave it to her.

01:31:24 Right.

01:31:24 But mine came up to me.

01:31:25 It was for like 10k, right?

01:31:26 She asked for 50.

01:31:27 Well, actually, no, she did something worse.

01:31:30 Right.

01:31:30 She came up to me and she was like, um, it's just, I don't want to like say, I just,

01:31:34 I feel like I'm really good.

01:31:35 I don't really know what I'm asking for here, but I just want you to know that I'm really good.

01:31:39 And my choice was either give her 50k or be like, sorry, I can't help.

01:31:43 And then she'd be really, she was dissatisfied.

01:31:45 Oh, right.

01:31:46 So that's what Bailey was saying.

01:31:47 That's what Bailey said to me.

01:31:48 She was like, do you value me?

01:31:50 Right.

01:31:51 And I went, yeah, I really value this person.

01:31:53 She's like, do you value me?

01:31:53 She gave me $50,000.

01:31:55 So like they're going like, what are we doing?

01:31:57 Where are we?

01:31:58 Where is this going?

01:31:59 My God, what are we even about?

01:32:01 Come on.

01:32:02 So, so as I did with all my relationships, I slipped a 50k and hope for the best.

01:32:05 Yeah, exactly.

01:32:06 What have you got to say?

01:32:08 Did you guys see Robert Rude jump Ali?

01:32:10 What the heck was Candice thinking?

01:32:11 Taking the easy way out of that match.

01:32:13 Ha, how good can Rhea Ripley be if she needs Jay Layton?

01:32:15 Love the show.

01:32:18 Thanks guys.

01:32:18 Really appreciate you.

01:32:19 Like what Dewdrop did in that promo.

01:32:21 Can't believe Stone Cold Steve Austin is the new champ.

01:32:23 Yeah, I really should be booking charity programs.

01:32:25 I'll get more fans.

01:32:26 Tonight's NXT started strong.

01:32:29 I enjoyed seeing the stuff Ali against Marseille, who's a far more talented fighter.

01:32:33 You catty bitch.

01:32:34 All right.

01:32:36 Go on.

01:32:37 And you, what have we got?

01:32:38 Uh, okay.

01:32:40 It's low on the fans, but it's still fans and it's money.

01:32:45 Yeah, that's helpful.

01:32:46 The money is what I want.

01:32:48 I have just shaved you right down though.

01:32:49 Yes, you have by half.

01:32:51 Yeah, I'm now at 17,000 less.

01:32:53 That's good.

01:32:54 That's good.

01:32:55 Two weeks before the pay-per-view.

01:32:56 Come on.

01:32:56 All right.

01:32:57 Anything of note here for you?

01:32:59 I didn't know who to boo between Joel Wheeler and Razor Ramon.

01:33:03 Oh God, get a life.

01:33:05 Oh God, there's not a sticker on it telling me which one to boo for.

01:33:10 I don't know.

01:33:11 Oh, he's got a red circle around his class.

01:33:14 I don't know who to boo.

01:33:15 You're an idiot.

01:33:16 You're a bloody idiot.

01:33:17 Keep running your mouth where you can, Asuka.

01:33:21 It's going to be wired shut for a while after next week.

01:33:24 Yeah, how about that?

01:33:25 Yeah.

01:33:25 Bailey's got something helpful to say.

01:33:28 Hey, Trish.

01:33:33 I wish Bailey was the champion.

01:33:35 That would make my life so much easier.

01:33:37 The Baysliver-

01:33:37 Who is your champ?

01:33:38 It's Asuka.

01:33:39 It's Asuka.

01:33:40 She's having a few with Baysliver.

01:33:41 The problem is Baysliver isn't the only other big rivalry that I've got going on,

01:33:44 which is the tag one.

01:33:45 So I can either blow off the tag one, but then I risk the injuries.

01:33:48 That's why-

01:33:49 So, Zelina's my champ.

01:33:50 So I've got her-

01:33:50 And she's double champ.

01:33:53 So I can't do any women's tag stuff until I sort that out.

01:33:56 My big problem is I have not enough people to book a card with at the moment.

01:33:59 And so I can't rest anyone to just-

01:34:02 I can't put the tag team on.

01:34:03 To finish the feud.

01:34:05 Yeah.

01:34:05 All right.

01:34:06 I need to do a double call out, I think.

01:34:08 All right, let's see.

01:34:09 I think I did my commissioner goal, which gets me some pre-match physio.

01:34:13 Oh, very good.

01:34:14 Which should come in handy.

01:34:15 And you-

01:34:16 Oh, that's a good card for you.

01:34:18 That is a good card for-

01:34:19 Oh!

01:34:20 Oh!

01:34:21 No!

01:34:23 No?

01:34:25 No!

01:34:25 What's wrong with that?

01:34:26 That's gonna-

01:34:27 Everything's gonna cost me twice as much.

01:34:28 What, next week?

01:34:29 Yeah.

01:34:29 On the pay-per-view?

01:34:29 I'm trying to keep my pennies together.

01:34:31 Well, do you know what?

01:34:32 You got the money.

01:34:33 You can spend it, can't you?

01:34:34 Fuck off.

01:34:37 Okay, okay.

01:34:42 I'm actually pretty impressed going there, but we can pause that for a minute.

01:34:44 We just won't read that.

01:34:45 That's fine.

01:34:45 We should-

01:34:46 Look at that!

01:34:46 We won't look at it.

01:34:47 We'll go back to Pete instead.

01:34:48 We'll be good people.

01:34:49 Pete?

01:34:53 Well, well, well.

01:34:57 What a week that was.

01:34:59 Not least because the matches were booked in the correct order.

01:35:02 Oh my god!

01:35:03 They did it, guys!

01:35:04 Incredible scenes here on the Wednesday Night War stream.

01:35:08 That was a hell of a week for both of them.

01:35:12 Laurie did-

01:35:12 He did some matches, didn't he?

01:35:15 And that was the entire show.

01:35:17 And in Dan's case, pulling back a huge swathe of fans there.

01:35:22 23,000 more than Laurie.

01:35:24 Really closing that gap as we head up to the next pay-per-view being Survivor Series.

01:35:29 Apt, in fact, for the time period because it is, in fact, Survivor Series this weekend.

01:35:34 And hey, did you guys know that we're doing a watch party for Survivor Series at the Long

01:35:38 Arm Pub and Brewery?

01:35:39 If you haven't got your tickets yet, you should.

01:35:41 You should come watch the show with us.

01:35:42 We're going to be there.

01:35:43 It's going to be me versus Dan for the Jam That Jampie Chip.

01:35:46 And also Luke and Tempest are going to be there.

01:35:48 It's going to be a great time.

01:35:49 And we're all going to watch Survivor Series together.

01:35:52 And we're obviously all going to watch the return of CM Punk, which is definitely confirmed

01:35:55 and definitely happening.

01:35:57 But we will actually be watching the confirmed return of Randy Orton, which should be a great

01:36:02 time.

01:36:02 So come along and watch it with us.

01:36:04 Long Arm Pub and Brewery tickets.

01:36:05 Hopefully the moderation team will be putting the link in the live chat right now.

01:36:09 Get your tickets.

01:36:10 Come watch it with us on Saturday.

01:36:11 But meanwhile, in the Winter Night War realm, I was just telling them, Dan, about how I'm

01:36:18 going to beat you for the Jam That Jampie Chip at Survivor Series.

01:36:20 So, you know, I think that's okay.

01:36:25 But in other news, yes.

01:36:28 So let's talk about some of your ultra chats.

01:36:32 Shall we?

01:36:32 Keep sending those into WrestleTalk.com/PFK.

01:36:34 We're going to read all the ones that are five US dollars and up by the time the show

01:36:39 goes off the air.

01:36:41 Dan, did we have any feedback on the songs that you requested to listen to?

01:36:44 Yeah, I listened to Screwjob 97.

01:36:48 I'm going to be honest with you.

01:36:49 Pop Punk is not my genre.

01:36:51 I like most music, but I've never really been able to get on with Pop Punk.

01:36:54 That one, he was a little whingy.

01:36:57 A little whingy?

01:36:58 I get that she cheated.

01:37:00 I get that she...

01:37:01 There was a line in there about how there were botches in her texts, which I appreciate

01:37:05 all the references.

01:37:06 Something was like, "This isn't kayfabe.

01:37:07 This is my feelings."

01:37:08 I was like, "Oh, man.

01:37:09 You know?"

01:37:11 Well, that is a scathing takedown, one may say, of the fan request.

01:37:16 Get yours in to see what else Dan thinks about your song requests.

01:37:20 We've got another one here from Mitchell Gillam, who said, "Hey, Dan.

01:37:24 I have a song suggestion.

01:37:25 I always wondered the most random artist to have a Christmas song, and I think I found

01:37:30 it."

01:37:30 Oh, great.

01:37:31 "All I Really Want for Christmas" by Lil Jon featuring Kool-Aid Man.

01:37:35 Oh, sick.

01:37:36 "Enjoy, lol" and #TruthThatTruth.

01:37:39 There you go.

01:37:41 So add that one to your list, Dan.

01:37:42 "All I Really Want for Christmas" by Lil Jon featuring Kool-Aid Man.

01:37:46 Crucially.

01:37:48 Crucially.

01:37:48 Got it queued up.

01:37:50 And we have another one here from Leon DeMusica, who said, "Long time viewer.

01:37:54 First time chatter.

01:37:55 Wish the best of luck to both competitors, but I have a song suggestion for Dan."

01:37:58 It's another one.

01:37:59 Okay.

01:38:00 It's from a band called Camping in Alaska.

01:38:02 Song is...

01:38:03 Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4.

01:38:08 You guys are fucking weird.

01:38:11 I'm gonna be honest.

01:38:14 I don't know if that was off mic or not.

01:38:17 Either way.

01:38:19 That's incredible.

01:38:20 Keep sending in your song suggestions and any other support messages you have for Dan or Laurie

01:38:26 as we head into the Go Home Show for Survivor Series.

01:38:30 All still to play for.

01:38:32 Dan crawling back a lot of those fans that he's lost here.

01:38:35 And Laurie still just scrambling, just trying to get a pay-per-view card together.

01:38:40 Let's find out what they book on the Go Home Show.

01:38:42 Back to Laurie and Dan.

01:38:44 Probably some sacks of meat.

01:38:47 [Laughter]

01:38:49 Travesty.

01:38:50 Um, before we begin, um, can I have 50k?

01:38:54 Absolutely not.

01:38:54 Okay.

01:38:55 What are you gonna listen to?

01:38:56 I'm gonna listen to Free Falling by Tom Pei, because it's the first thing on this playlist.

01:38:59 And because you're feeling petty.

01:39:00 I'm feeling petty.

01:39:02 Lovely.

01:39:02 I am gonna win.

01:39:05 I'm gonna win.

01:39:07 The next person who asks me for money is getting fired.

01:39:09 [Laughter]

01:39:11 Or they'll leave before they have the chance.

01:39:13 All right, then.

01:39:13 I'll see you in a little bit.

01:39:14 Let's get my little timer up on the old agenda here.

01:39:17 Do you know what?

01:39:18 It's not so much the time as it is the talking out loud while I'm doing things.

01:39:22 Because I feel like I- it's having to do all the things it wants.

01:39:24 It's very much this business.

01:39:25 It's almost like we told you that, Dan!

01:39:28 We said that!

01:39:30 You whinged about it so often.

01:39:31 Anyway, uh, so I'm ready.

01:39:32 You, Al?

01:39:33 There we go.

01:39:33 Three, two, one, go!

01:39:35 JiveO is having a concert at the end of the week.

01:39:38 How much do you want?

01:39:39 12k.

01:39:39 How are you doing?

01:39:40 Satisfied?

01:39:42 Mmm, how about eight?

01:39:47 Oh, JiveO is putting his feet down!

01:39:53 All right, Jive.

01:39:54 There you go.

01:39:54 You've got it.

01:39:55 Have it.

01:39:55 Um, Candice Ray, thanks for showing up.

01:39:58 Make it look like a joke!

01:39:59 You're welcome.

01:40:00 That loser attacked me.

01:40:01 I want to do it in the next couple of weeks.

01:40:03 Yeah, fine.

01:40:04 Absolutely fine.

01:40:04 Um, type quicker.

01:40:07 God!

01:40:07 Uh, you have your most popular available male heel and face fight this week.

01:40:11 Who's that, then?

01:40:12 [Music]

01:40:16 What?!

01:40:16 Marseille is my most popular...

01:40:19 But I suppose he was popular because...

01:40:23 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Gans.

01:40:24 What if I released Marseille?

01:40:26 Then I could achieve that goal.

01:40:28 Uh, right, logistics.

01:40:31 Booking these early is what stopped me freaking out.

01:40:33 Um, and power cards.

01:40:36 Yeah, we had the policy, didn't we?

01:40:40 Although...

01:40:45 Right, let's hold fire for a minute.

01:40:47 This is the week before the pay-per-view, isn't it?

01:40:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:40:57 Okay, so fine.

01:40:57 Well, we'll do that, then.

01:40:58 Um, sorry, babes.

01:41:00 I don't want to press continue in case it makes me do something else I didn't want to do.

01:41:07 What do I get if I do that?

01:41:09 Uh, to the moon!

01:41:10 It's not the end of the world.

01:41:13 Uh, okay, book show.

01:41:15 Let's get...

01:41:20 I'm not even gonna risk him having no stamina.

01:41:22 So we're gonna get Jinder to do a call-out promo here.

01:41:24 Against Stone Cold.

01:41:26 And in the main event, I'm gonna do...

01:41:28 Actually, Charlotte can call out Beth.

01:41:32 That gets those on the go.

01:41:34 We're gonna do...

01:41:35 He's doing better.

01:41:41 I can afford to keep him off a little bit.

01:41:43 Although...

01:41:43 What am I gonna do?

01:41:49 What show do I want to book, everybody?

01:41:52 What show?

01:41:54 Do you know what?

01:41:55 We'll do that.

01:41:55 We'll do these and a false count anywhere.

01:41:57 Because that'll up the rivalry and that'll get me with the false count anywhere section.

01:42:00 Reminds me I'll book a charity promo with...

01:42:02 Who's got good promo skill?

01:42:06 Kevin Owens can book a charity promo.

01:42:07 Even though we don't like him.

01:42:11 Yeah.

01:42:20 Yeah.

01:42:23 Keep you on the show, Bootsy Poblarity.

01:42:25 Um...

01:42:26 Get you some back.

01:42:29 Right then.

01:42:31 Maybe I'll book a tag...

01:42:32 A women's tag.

01:42:34 Just for shits and gigs.

01:42:35 Um...

01:42:37 I'll need another lady girl for that.

01:42:46 So let's go down here, see who we've got.

01:42:48 Neon Brightstar!

01:42:50 Come on down.

01:42:51 Oh, Zoe Stark!

01:42:53 Zoe Stark for a decent amount of money.

01:42:55 As a good guy specialist.

01:42:58 Um...

01:43:01 These people are mad.

01:43:02 Look at this. Clay Courtman.

01:43:04 Oh, gee.

01:43:04 Uh... Zoe Stark, five weeks.

01:43:08 Cora Jade.

01:43:08 Um...

01:43:11 Yeah, sod it.

01:43:15 Cora Jade.

01:43:16 Actually, what's...

01:43:19 What's Sammy George?

01:43:22 She's a specialist.

01:43:24 Fine.

01:43:25 Fine.

01:43:27 She's a specialist.

01:43:28 Fine.

01:43:29 Fine.

01:43:30 Fine.

01:43:31 Uh...

01:43:32 Do I want to do Cora Jade or do I want to do Neon Brightstar?

01:43:34 Um...

01:43:35 Oh, I'm being indecisive!

01:43:39 It's like when I go shopping for pasta sauce and I can't decide what I want to do!

01:43:42 Cora Jade, ten weeks.

01:43:48 Yeah, I'll do that.

01:43:50 Fine.

01:43:50 Come on, Cora.

01:43:51 Nice to see you.

01:43:51 Welcome to 2.0.

01:43:52 Um...

01:43:53 She's got those examiners, so that's going to be fine.

01:43:55 Cora Jade and the, uh...

01:43:58 Uh...

01:43:58 Candice LeRae.

01:43:59 Two fighters.

01:44:01 Yeah, that's not the best I've ever done, but I'll do it.

01:44:03 Um...

01:44:03 Marseille...

01:44:09 We'll do Marseille versus Wesley.

01:44:17 Um...

01:44:17 I'm not sure if I'm going to do that.

01:44:18 I'm not sure if I'm going to do that.

01:44:19 I'm not sure if I'm going to do that.

01:44:20 I'm not sure if I'm going to do that.

01:44:21 I'm not sure if I'm going to do that.

01:44:22 Um...

01:44:23 Marseille versus Wesley, because that's a cruiser on a cruiser.

01:44:25 And...

01:44:26 Will I let...

01:44:29 Oh god.

01:44:30 Oh god.

01:44:31 I'll tell you what.

01:44:34 Um...

01:44:40 Have we got any more giant women?

01:44:41 [laughs]

01:44:43 In a manner of speaking, as it were.

01:44:45 Oh, I could time Brock Lesnar.

01:44:46 That'd be fun.

01:44:48 I don't need him.

01:44:49 This is the thing.

01:44:50 Don't...

01:44:50 Don't sign people you don't need.

01:44:52 Um...

01:44:53 What am I doing, Daniel?

01:45:03 Make a choice.

01:45:04 Make a choice.

01:45:05 Who could I put here?

01:45:08 I guess if I do...

01:45:10 Ah!

01:45:12 I know what I'm going to do.

01:45:13 Um...

01:45:16 Uh...

01:45:19 Uh...

01:45:20 Uh...

01:45:20 On the land of the ice and snow.

01:45:23 How am I...

01:45:26 Am I gonna do that?

01:45:27 We'll sign a free agent.

01:45:32 We'll sign a good guy man.

01:45:33 Good guy man.

01:45:35 For not that much money.

01:45:36 I don't want to spend that much money.

01:45:37 You're joking.

01:45:38 Um...

01:45:39 Oh god.

01:45:44 Oh god!

01:45:44 This is not working for me!

01:45:47 Um...

01:45:48 I don't want to ruin his stamina.

01:45:51 Ahead of the pay-per-view.

01:45:54 I guess it doesn't really matter, does it?

01:45:56 Yes, it does matter.

01:46:01 Um...

01:46:01 Logan Paul against...

01:46:03 Um...

01:46:04 Um...

01:46:05 Um...

01:46:06 Um...

01:46:07 Um...

01:46:08 Um...

01:46:09 Um...

01:46:09 You?

01:46:10 Sure.

01:46:12 Oh sod it.

01:46:15 Bad show.

01:46:16 Bad show.

01:46:16 You.

01:46:17 No, what if you get injured?

01:46:18 Nope.

01:46:19 Nope.

01:46:19 Tag teams fight each other.

01:46:21 That's a really bad idea.

01:46:22 What am I doing?

01:46:23 With 11 seconds, not much.

01:46:24 Why am I flailing so hard?

01:46:28 What's wrong with me?

01:46:29 Ugh!

01:46:30 Ugh!

01:46:32 Logan Paul, you...

01:46:35 Fucking arsehole.

01:46:37 Fucking asshole.

01:46:39 You flicked my fucking...

01:46:40 I started flailing again at the end.

01:46:41 Did ya?

01:46:42 What's wrong with me this week?

01:46:43 I don't know, man.

01:46:44 I don't know.

01:46:46 You've got all the money.

01:46:48 I have all the money and all the stamina and yet you're still freaking out?

01:46:53 Those cards.

01:46:54 I can see Razor Ramon's name in my email.

01:46:56 Somebody's gonna ask me for fucking money.

01:46:58 Alright then, let's go to Christmas time with Lil Jon.

01:47:01 See you in a minute.

01:47:02 See you in a minute.

01:47:03 Right, Ellis, you ready?

01:47:06 In three, two, one.

01:47:08 Uh...

01:47:11 Raquel cheated me.

01:47:13 I want a rematch in the next two weeks.

01:47:15 Oh my god, I don't think that's gonna happen.

01:47:17 I need to rest Raquel.

01:47:20 I've got...

01:47:20 Oh, fuck you, Shotzi Blackheart.

01:47:23 Why would you do that before the pay-per-view?

01:47:24 Absolute butthead.

01:47:26 Alright.

01:47:29 Shotzi's morale, great.

01:47:31 Hey boss, I have a proposition for you.

01:47:34 How about I have ourselves a little partnership in the next few weeks?

01:47:36 You'll have my back and I'll have yours.

01:47:38 Oh, he wants me to do the GM thing.

01:47:40 Uh...

01:47:42 Yeah, fine.

01:47:44 I'll do that.

01:47:44 That's... that's absolutely fine.

01:47:46 Okay, what we got?

01:47:47 Uh...

01:47:48 GM interference book for this show.

01:47:49 Providers should push two bonus and will be free to book this week.

01:47:53 That's great.

01:47:53 Have at least one sub...

01:47:54 We're not having a submission match the week before the pay-per-view, you maniac!

01:47:58 Get out of it!

01:48:00 Uh, alright, okay.

01:48:01 Can we...

01:48:02 Can we do...

01:48:04 Can you do tag team call-outs?

01:48:06 You can't do tag team call-outs, can you?

01:48:08 Maybe I just have to run the tag team match.

01:48:10 Right, we're doing tag team and we're gonna do...

01:48:14 You know who!

01:48:15 Let's have a look.

01:48:17 Their stamina's okay.

01:48:18 How's the stamina on this team?

01:48:20 Bad on Baszler.

01:48:23 Now, do we think we can coast through this match to get to the pay-per-view?

01:48:29 I really want this...

01:48:30 I need this to go to three stars for this pay-per-view, I think.

01:48:33 Otherwise I'm gonna fall behind with Dan's thingy-majigger that he's got.

01:48:38 Bailey's got 28 stamina, so we really need to rest Bailey this week as well,

01:48:43 which is an absolute shitter.

01:48:45 Bala we need to rest this week, so Carmelo Hayes, you will be taking on Julius Creed.

01:48:51 Bless you.

01:48:51 That is gonna go somewhere in the middle there.

01:48:55 Meanwhile, Finn Bala will call you out.

01:48:59 Let's have a little look at this.

01:49:03 These two have great...

01:49:06 These two actually have really good stamina, so we're just gonna run that...

01:49:11 Into the ground ahead of the pay-per-view.

01:49:13 Dan's left.

01:49:13 Dan's making it incredibly hard for me to concentrate.

01:49:17 That's great.

01:49:18 We've got Aska, could call out Baszler as well.

01:49:22 Let's just try and get some of these things going.

01:49:25 We'll have Aska call out Baszler, she's not doing anything.

01:49:28 And we will have...

01:49:29 Bailey...

01:49:34 We'll have Trish call out Bailey, so Bailey gets the bigger rest.

01:49:38 And then we need to fill this spot.

01:49:41 This spot is Razor Ramon's spot, so here are my thoughts.

01:49:45 We go to...

01:49:46 We go to logistics and just book the one.

01:49:48 We book the fleet center, that's fine.

01:49:51 We go over here, we look at the free agents.

01:49:53 So we could do with...

01:49:54 What is Razor?

01:49:56 This...

01:49:57 The UI on this game is dreadful.

01:50:00 The fact that I can't just bring this information up.

01:50:04 So I need a bruiser.

01:50:05 Oh, hello.

01:50:10 Oh, hello.

01:50:11 Why hello?

01:50:15 Oh, two hellos.

01:50:16 We could have Brock Lesnar.

01:50:18 Nah, look at the stamina on Drew McIntyre.

01:50:20 Abs are fucking lootly.

01:50:22 Get in here, Drew, you big Scottish lunk.

01:50:26 Oh!

01:50:27 Oh, goodness me!

01:50:30 Yes!

01:50:31 Yes!

01:50:33 Yes!

01:50:35 It's...

01:50:36 It's fixed it!

01:50:37 Look how it's fixed it!

01:50:39 You guys!

01:50:40 It's fucking fixed it!

01:50:41 Yes!

01:50:44 Let's put some of these on.

01:50:46 Let's activate...

01:50:48 Well, we'll probably do that, won't we?

01:50:52 Veto one of his champions for next round.

01:50:56 What else can we do?

01:50:58 Oh, oh!

01:51:00 Well, probably double the cost of all of his stuff next week as well.

01:51:04 There you go.

01:51:06 That'll be fun for him, won't it?

01:51:08 He'll like that.

01:51:08 That'll be really fun.

01:51:10 All right, well, I've got all this stuff to get free shit next time.

01:51:12 I've not spent...

01:51:14 I've not spent loads on this.

01:51:15 Let's see if there's anyone else that we can get, because who else do we need?

01:51:18 What do we run...

01:51:19 What do we run the risks of?

01:51:20 The risk we run here is Baselor getting injured.

01:51:25 That is really bad.

01:51:25 So is there anything I can do about that with power cards?

01:51:28 I could really, really do with the old massage card.

01:51:34 Massage card.

01:51:37 This I'm okay with.

01:51:38 I think T-Bar will survive on 40.

01:51:41 Bailey gets a rest.

01:51:44 They'll have a match.

01:51:46 Razor will be close to getting injured, but I'm not...

01:51:48 I don't necessarily need him for the thing.

01:51:51 Mellow doesn't really get much out of this, but it's...

01:51:54 It fills a spot.

01:51:55 I'm pleased with this.

01:51:57 So I'm hoping...

01:51:57 This is the higher one, so we're gonna put that in the top spot.

01:52:03 This is here.

01:52:05 And then we hope that the curve works out nicely like that.

01:52:08 I might even put this over here, just because I like the match more.

01:52:11 I think it should be just before the main event.

01:52:14 I'm actually quite pleased with that show.

01:52:16 Yeah, fuck it.

01:52:19 We'll do that as well.

01:52:20 See, I don't want to spend money to unlock lighting effects, so...

01:52:25 We just have to leave it.

01:52:28 I don't want to spend 50k.

01:52:30 I don't have the money to do that.

01:52:31 I don't have the money.

01:52:34 We'll look at it in the pay-per-view week, shall we?

01:52:38 Right, is there anyone else on the roster I can buy?

01:52:40 The cheap?

01:52:41 Who's cheap?

01:52:42 I would like a cheap person, please.

01:52:45 Give me a cheap person.

01:52:48 Donna Matrix.

01:52:50 Kyle Slickman.

01:52:55 The Armored Wrightstar with an equate.

01:52:58 Forget Gaza.

01:53:00 Let's have a look at my roster, shall we?

01:53:02 While we're here.

01:53:04 Two weeks.

01:53:05 Can't come soon enough.

01:53:07 I need you back to finish the Creed feud, which is level two.

01:53:12 Aggravating that I can't do anything with that.

01:53:15 I need to do the Tag feud.

01:53:17 Hopefully we grow some things.

01:53:18 It doesn't necessarily help come pay-per-view week, is the problem.

01:53:23 Like, we still don't necessarily have enough people to actually run a full pay-per-view card.

01:53:27 So, we will see where we end up.

01:53:32 I don't know if I need any more this time.

01:53:35 I've got 30 seconds left.

01:53:36 Who's in the Legends pile?

01:53:38 If you get Rob Van Damme, just get Hulk.

01:53:41 One last look at the show.

01:53:43 I'm kind of fine with that.

01:53:47 That's the show.

01:53:48 We're going to book it.

01:53:48 My time to spare.

01:53:55 Oh, he's got it.

01:53:56 My time to spare.

01:53:58 Feeling confident.

01:54:00 It wasn't confident.

01:54:01 It was just for the first time, I actually had a full...

01:54:03 I had enough human beings.

01:54:06 Good.

01:54:06 There was a human being that came up that I bought and it worked out.

01:54:11 I got the right human being that I needed.

01:54:13 I need the exact correct flavor.

01:54:15 There are a few big hitters to buy this week.

01:54:17 But I needed none of them.

01:54:19 So, I didn't bother.

01:54:19 Oh, and I needed.

01:54:21 Yeah.

01:54:21 Did you?

01:54:21 Okay.

01:54:22 All right, then.

01:54:24 Let's have a gander.

01:54:25 Because I did actually sign someone.

01:54:27 Oh, yeah?

01:54:27 Who did you sign?

01:54:28 Corrid Jade.

01:54:29 Corrid Jade's part of the crew now.

01:54:30 Um, I basically wanted to book a tag match.

01:54:33 Yep.

01:54:33 Just to get it done.

01:54:34 Because I needed something.

01:54:35 And I thought a bit of titles.

01:54:36 Get Queen Zelina on the show.

01:54:37 You know.

01:54:38 Although, even with two belts, you only got 54 popularity.

01:54:40 Bloody Nora.

01:54:41 Okay.

01:54:42 You need a To The Moon card, though.

01:54:44 Yeah, but...

01:54:44 I don't know.

01:54:46 I can't even remember what my commissioner goal was.

01:54:47 Oh, it would have my most popular face and heal.

01:54:50 I've not been doing my job well.

01:54:51 No.

01:54:51 Because my most popular...

01:54:52 By virtue of having to rest people, popularity of people has gone down.

01:54:58 Yeah.

01:54:58 But now I've been getting cards as a result of it.

01:55:00 But, you know.

01:55:01 So it's been a tricky one.

01:55:03 Anyway, got a tag match here.

01:55:05 Between these two.

01:55:07 Got a little rivalry out of it.

01:55:11 Oh, a little rivalry.

01:55:11 And it was an okay match.

01:55:12 All right.

01:55:13 And new tag champs.

01:55:13 That's actually quite good.

01:55:14 Because that means I've got, you know, difference.

01:55:16 Oh, you got level four with Jinder and Stone Cold.

01:55:20 Yeah, but he's crazy.

01:55:21 Yeah, what if I can't use it?

01:55:22 Yeah, what if you can't?

01:55:24 What if you can't?

01:55:25 Mate, mine are all injured.

01:55:29 My main champions do not have rivalries.

01:55:31 This was where I failed.

01:55:32 Yeah.

01:55:33 I booked Logan Paul and Bobby Lashley, who are tag team partners.

01:55:35 Yeah.

01:55:36 Against each other.

01:55:36 Yeah, yeah.

01:55:37 But at least...

01:55:37 Sometimes you just gotta have a match.

01:55:39 Sometimes you've just got to have a match.

01:55:41 And that match turns out to be absolutely dull.

01:55:44 Yeah.

01:55:44 Oh, yeah.

01:55:45 But that's fine.

01:55:46 We'll take it.

01:55:47 Clawing back some of his popularity.

01:55:50 Spending his life on the mic.

01:55:51 A charity promo.

01:55:52 It's because they had that level four rivalry from the beginning.

01:55:54 And because of various different, you know, whatever.

01:55:57 I couldn't bother doing it.

01:55:58 I'll say Wesley, you know, a match to have for the sake of having it.

01:56:02 For the good matchup.

01:56:03 Yeah, good matchup.

01:56:04 And it was a good matchup.

01:56:06 And a callout promo here.

01:56:07 Charlotte calling out.

01:56:08 And then we've got...

01:56:08 Okay, so we've got a bunch of rivalries that I can blow up at the pay-per-view.

01:56:11 I don't know if this will become one of them.

01:56:14 I think it's too early in their rivalry.

01:56:16 But it's a Force Count Anywhere match.

01:56:17 It's a decent main event.

01:56:19 And it is a rivalry.

01:56:20 Was Force Count Anywhere your commissioner goal?

01:56:21 Or was it just...

01:56:22 No, I have a season long goal.

01:56:24 Right.

01:56:24 At Force Count Anywhere.

01:56:25 So I'm trying to bash a few in.

01:56:26 Sure.

01:56:27 Yeah.

01:56:27 I've not even looked at my season long goal.

01:56:28 Well, you might want to.

01:56:29 Nah, probably not.

01:56:30 Okay.

01:56:30 That's how you get the extra power card.

01:56:33 Oh, I don't care.

01:56:33 Oh, okay.

01:56:34 Oh, and we've got...

01:56:35 That's another level three.

01:56:36 Is it? Yeah.

01:56:36 So you're another...

01:56:37 Oh my god.

01:56:37 Again, a decent show.

01:56:38 Big pay-per-view.

01:56:39 Not as good a show as last week.

01:56:40 So I don't imagine I'll claw any fans back.

01:56:42 But a decent show.

01:56:44 Lining up a decent potential pay-per-view.

01:56:46 How is that gonna go?

01:56:48 Right.

01:56:49 NXT.

01:56:50 We've got a couple of risk factors here.

01:56:53 We've got Shani Baz.

01:56:54 Oh yeah.

01:56:56 Who...

01:56:57 She should be all right.

01:56:57 This is a regular match.

01:56:58 It's the pay-per-view where I'm worried about it.

01:57:00 But I'm desperate for this to grow.

01:57:05 And it didn't grow.

01:57:06 So we can't blow that off of the pay-per-view.

01:57:07 Which is perfect.

01:57:09 Just absolutely perfect.

01:57:10 And that one didn't either.

01:57:11 That one didn't either.

01:57:12 Okay, this is just a match that I chucked together.

01:57:15 Yeah.

01:57:16 We're still waiting for Matt Riddle to come back.

01:57:17 This game is absolutely fucking mean.

01:57:19 Have you not released Matt Riddle yet?

01:57:21 No.

01:57:21 Do you release any of the End of People?

01:57:22 Do you release Blet Hart?

01:57:23 Blet Hart?

01:57:24 Brett Leff.

01:57:25 Brett Leff?

01:57:25 Yeah.

01:57:26 Oh, okay.

01:57:26 Fair enough.

01:57:26 Finally, something happened.

01:57:28 Bailey versus...

01:57:30 Oh, hello.

01:57:30 Bailey versus Trish.

01:57:34 We will make a note of that.

01:57:35 Level two.

01:57:36 I can't believe that tag match has not made it to...

01:57:39 Yeah.

01:57:39 Has not made it to level three.

01:57:41 I've got one rivalry going into this.

01:57:43 Oh, look, Drew McIntyre's here.

01:57:45 Yay!

01:57:45 He's got stamina.

01:57:46 Oh, good for you, Drew.

01:57:47 Simulate.

01:57:48 And a decent amount of popularity.

01:57:49 This is a good matchup.

01:57:50 Yep.

01:57:50 Bruiser on a fighter, heel face.

01:57:52 That's...

01:57:52 It's good.

01:57:53 Doesn't start a rivalry.

01:57:54 Oh, of course it bloody doesn't.

01:57:57 It's going to be fine, though.

01:58:00 Look how nice he's started.

01:58:01 Everything else worked in that.

01:58:02 The class matchups, the role matchups.

01:58:06 Yes.

01:58:06 It was good.

01:58:07 Yes, yes.

01:58:08 Well done.

01:58:09 Thank you.

01:58:09 Well done.

01:58:10 Thank you.

01:58:10 This, this, this.

01:58:12 That helped, that grew.

01:58:15 That did grow.

01:58:15 That was very good.

01:58:16 And old faithful.

01:58:17 Old faithful.

01:58:18 Good stamina on both of them.

01:58:19 I just need them to get to the pay-per-view.

01:58:21 That's it.

01:58:21 He'll get injured, I know this so far.

01:58:25 He won't get injured, surely.

01:58:26 And it's level four.

01:58:27 Okay, good.

01:58:28 This is...

01:58:28 Yeah.

01:58:28 Let's hope...

01:58:30 Your fucking Veto card, Veto's T-bar.

01:58:33 I'm going to be...

01:58:34 Let's hope it doesn't.

01:58:34 I'm going to be apathetic.

01:58:37 Right.

01:58:39 I bet it'll do someone like Raquel.

01:58:40 Like, it'll take her out of the action.

01:58:42 Oh, yeah, Raquel's not even a champion.

01:58:43 Okay, well, my curve was fucked there as well.

01:58:45 Was it?

01:58:45 Oh, no, that's your curve.

01:58:46 No, that's...

01:58:46 Both curves are fine.

01:58:48 Both curves are fine.

01:58:49 Yeah.

01:58:50 No, I've got my mid...

01:58:52 Both our mid cards are better.

01:58:54 No, they aren't.

01:58:55 The middle mid card is.

01:58:58 No.

01:59:00 Good booking.

01:59:00 Your mid card is also...

01:59:02 It goes...

01:59:03 First match has to be great.

01:59:04 Mid card less than that.

01:59:05 Then the second mid card has to be less than that.

01:59:08 Oh, okay, so it's split in half.

01:59:09 Yes, yes.

01:59:10 Fine.

01:59:10 Yes.

01:59:11 Fine, I didn't even know that.

01:59:13 Yeah, they're attached.

01:59:14 Sure, okay, cool.

01:59:15 Do you want to look at anything of yours?

01:59:16 Nah.

01:59:17 All right, let's go to...

01:59:18 I want to see what the key detail...

01:59:20 Let's see how much quality you see.

01:59:21 39,000, it's not great.

01:59:24 It's not great.

01:59:24 But again, with the money, I'll need that.

01:59:26 Because you've double costed me.

01:59:27 Let's see what we've got.

01:59:30 What would I have double costed you?

01:59:33 Rude learns about consequences.

01:59:34 Cora and Candice are a good tag team.

01:59:36 I'm writing that.

01:59:37 I think considering you're going to get the ban boost next week.

01:59:40 Yeah.

01:59:41 I just had to make something have to hurt you here.

01:59:43 And it had to be the money.

01:59:45 Yeah, that's fair.

01:59:45 I would have done the same.

01:59:46 Good team.

01:59:50 That's good to know.

01:59:50 When LA Knight and Rollins starting a rivalry,

01:59:53 what happened to that?

01:59:54 Injuries.

01:59:55 That's what happened to that.

01:59:57 Sammy George looks so angry.

02:00:00 What else is new?

02:00:02 She's from Croydon.

02:00:03 She's from Croydon.

02:00:04 Hey, LAC 2.0, where's Seth Rollins?

02:00:06 Every time she leaves, she remembers.

02:00:08 Oh yeah, I'm from Croydon.

02:00:09 When I go home, when I'm not being used this week,

02:00:11 the home I have to go back to is Croydon.

02:00:13 All right.

02:00:15 Yeah, we got a box park.

02:00:16 What of it?

02:00:17 Nanny bills.

02:00:18 Yeah.

02:00:18 In there.

02:00:19 Oh, and the wit gift centre's dying, isn't it?

02:00:21 You know, last year I did a music video for an artist named Maisie Peters.

02:00:27 It was a Christmas music video,

02:00:30 and I was in the basement of a shop, a disused shop in the wit gift centre.

02:00:35 Oh, scary.

02:00:36 For the whole day, waiting for my walk on park.

02:00:40 Right.

02:00:40 It was bloody freezing in there.

02:00:42 Probably the most depressing day of my life.

02:00:44 The music video is great, and so is the song.

02:00:46 Wit gift centre I used to go to legitimately every weekend.

02:00:49 Yeah, you saw the nice wall stones in there.

02:00:50 Yeah, it was great.

02:00:51 I love the wit gift centre.

02:00:52 It was great.

02:00:52 And it now is a shell.

02:00:53 It is.

02:00:54 It is horrible, and it's...

02:00:55 It's a great...

02:00:56 It's like the death of my childhood.

02:00:57 It is a great set for a post-apocalyptic movie.

02:01:00 Oh, it would be great.

02:01:01 Yeah, like, it's got real, like, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead vibes.

02:01:04 Should we write it?

02:01:04 Let's do it.

02:01:05 Should we write it?

02:01:06 Let's do it.

02:01:06 Stop this.

02:01:07 I've got a notebook right in front of me.

02:01:08 Um, all right, then.

02:01:09 Interior wit gift centre.

02:01:10 You ready to see your one?

02:01:11 Yes, please.

02:01:12 You've clawed that back.

02:01:18 You've done well there.

02:01:19 Fans did all right.

02:01:20 And the money!

02:01:20 Oh, look at that.

02:01:23 Sweet money!

02:01:24 Where'd you get that from?

02:01:26 Who cares?

02:01:27 I need it.

02:01:28 And after you bought it, I have to buy humans.

02:01:30 Good show tonight.

02:01:32 Word riddle and Creed starting around.

02:01:34 What happened to that?

02:01:34 Oh, I think I've heard that Wooden got injured.

02:01:38 I think I've heard that he got injured on the first fucking week of the fucking show,

02:01:42 and he's been out ever since.

02:01:43 Same as Big E, you bloody idiot.

02:01:47 Um, the rivalry between Dragunov and Tibo is just getting plain crazy.

02:01:51 It's mad.

02:01:52 Let's hope Akkad doesn't fuck it.

02:01:54 Um, really varied show.

02:01:56 Tibo is just too good.

02:01:58 Raquel and Katana are the new champs.

02:01:59 Shayna and EO are not happy about that.

02:02:01 No, they're not.

02:02:02 Finn Balor says, "I heard Kamala Hayes begged the GM."

02:02:05 Not enough to grow their rivalry.

02:02:06 They're mad.

02:02:08 They're not that mad.

02:02:09 Is this true?

02:02:09 Kamala Hayes begged the GM to get out of a match with me?

02:02:11 I don't think so.

02:02:14 Spreading rumors in Scotland, there, Finn Balor.

02:02:17 Trying to go into business for himself.

02:02:19 The actual reason that Kamala Hayes didn't have a match with Finn Balor is because Finn

02:02:21 Balor was teetering on the precipice of dying.

02:02:24 So Finn Balor was being rested in case I wanted to use him at the pay-per-view.

02:02:28 Watch you absolutely storm the pay-per-view, by the way.

02:02:30 Okay, here we go.

02:02:31 So, that's that.

02:02:33 Oh, oh, oh!

02:02:35 Oh, hello.

02:02:37 Oh!

02:02:38 Oh, that's you!

02:02:39 That's me!

02:02:39 Oh, for fuck's sake!

02:02:40 I've done five challenges.

02:02:41 It wasn't even trying!

02:02:43 Ha!

02:02:43 Oh!

02:02:45 How many were they? I don't even know!

02:02:46 Oh, come on!

02:02:48 Oh, incredible.

02:02:48 I'm so good at this game.

02:02:50 It's unbelievable how good I am.

02:02:52 I bet your challenges were like, "Book a match."

02:02:55 Yeah, I bet they were.

02:02:56 Yeah, they probably were like, "Read your email."

02:02:58 Yeah, "Read some email."

02:02:59 "Read your email."

02:03:00 "Fire five stars."

02:03:02 "Open the manage roster page."

02:03:03 "Have eight injuries over the course of three weeks."

02:03:07 I'm so cross I've lost my pen.

02:03:08 That's pretty good.

02:03:10 I'm pretty pleased with that.

02:03:11 I've been trying so hard with my pen.

02:03:13 I might just activate all those.

02:03:15 *sigh*

02:03:16 Fine.

02:03:16 Oh!

02:03:17 Don't look!

02:03:18 I've done it again!

02:03:19 I've done it again!

02:03:20 We've gone into the thing.

02:03:21 Pete, save us!

02:03:22 Peter!

02:03:23 Peter!

02:03:24 It's fine.

02:03:28 It's fine.

02:03:29 Why do I-

02:03:29 What do I-

02:03:30 You just do it.

02:03:31 Why?

02:03:31 Just do your bit.

02:03:32 I-

02:03:32 Sure.

02:03:34 What a week!

02:03:35 Week 14, eh?

02:03:36 The Go Home Show for Survivor Series

02:03:38 and the first Hall of Fame trophy

02:03:40 has finally been unveiled

02:03:42 and it's by accident.

02:03:43 Now you know how I feel, Dan,

02:03:46 when Luke just got his by accident

02:03:48 and I was furious about it.

02:03:50 But congratulations, Laurie.

02:03:52 Great work, mate.

02:03:53 We are heading into Survivor Series here shortly.

02:04:00 The last week on this stream

02:04:02 and the Pay-Per-View edition.

02:04:05 There are plenty of things,

02:04:07 plenty of plates spinning

02:04:09 going into the Pay-Per-View week here.

02:04:10 We got a new signing in Drew McIntyre.

02:04:13 As well over on NXT.

02:04:16 And we've got plenty of grivalries

02:04:19 and plenty that refuse to grow at the same time.

02:04:22 Why won't the grivalries grow?

02:04:24 But both shows are on an upward trend.

02:04:28 So we'll see if they can continue that

02:04:29 when we get into Survivor Series here shortly.

02:04:31 Keep getting in your ultra chats, please,

02:04:34 to WrestleTalk.com/PFK.

02:04:36 If you've got any words of support

02:04:39 because we will be reading them

02:04:40 after the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View.

02:04:42 So if you've got any thoughts, any feelings,

02:04:44 any words of encouragement ahead of next stream,

02:04:46 any song requests for next stream as well,

02:04:48 let us know and send them in at WrestleTalk.com/PFK

02:04:51 because we're going to go through all the ones

02:04:52 that are five US dollars and up

02:04:53 by the time the show goes off the air.

02:04:55 Like this one from Mara Joy,

02:04:57 hello, Mara, who said,

02:05:00 "Dan, listen to 'Want Me' by Baby Queen.

02:05:03 "It'll hype you up.

02:05:04 "Laurie, I feel your pain.

02:05:06 "Excited to see how the takeovers go.

02:05:08 "#JiveOwens4Champ."

02:05:10 Thank you, Mara.

02:05:12 Jive Owens4Champ.

02:05:13 Yeah, I'll take it.

02:05:14 You hear that one?

02:05:15 Yeah, I've got noted, duly noted.

02:05:17 Doing the Owens-Owens.

02:05:19 Owens-squared feud.

02:05:20 The Owens-Darby, the Owens-squared feud.

02:05:22 Very excited to see the results of that.

02:05:24 Love to see the legacy of Jive Owens live on

02:05:28 through my GM mode.

02:05:30 But with that said,

02:05:31 lots to play for for this week coming up here.

02:05:35 Lots of different factors at play

02:05:37 going into this Pay-Per-View week.

02:05:39 Let's head back over to Laurie and Dan

02:05:42 for Survivor Series.

02:05:44 Ooh, that's good.

02:05:46 Now, I can't remember how the game works.

02:05:48 Do both of the power cards that have been played

02:05:51 happen at first and then the emails come through?

02:05:53 Or is it per group?

02:05:55 Do you know what I mean?

02:05:56 The per show?

02:05:57 I think it's per show.

02:05:59 Right, fine.

02:05:59 Okay, in that case, when we get the email screen, we'll see.

02:06:01 'Cause I've just spotted.

02:06:03 If you wanna bring up the screen here,

02:06:05 just something to think about

02:06:06 while you go into your music

02:06:07 what are you gonna listen to next?

02:06:08 The Veto Champ has indeed worked.

02:06:10 It's taken out Sammy George.

02:06:11 Taken out Sammy George.

02:06:13 Sammy George will unfortunately not be appearing

02:06:15 at Survivor Series this week.

02:06:16 That's a real shame.

02:06:17 I do apologise to you, Sammy,

02:06:18 and all of Sammy's friends and family.

02:06:20 Motherfucker.

02:06:22 But you have also applied a double cost to me.

02:06:27 Double cost!

02:06:28 That is fine.

02:06:28 Okay.

02:06:30 Do you wanna go off to your land of listening?

02:06:34 I'm gonna listen to,

02:06:34 do you hear the people sing from Les Miserables?

02:06:37 No, but the musicals always help you!

02:06:38 No!

02:06:40 Do you wanna tell me to listen to Hamilton

02:06:41 and absolutely slaughtered me?

02:06:43 All right, here we go.

02:06:44 Let's get the timer up.

02:06:48 You ready, Al?

02:06:49 Three, two, one, go!

02:06:51 Seven minutes on the clock!

02:06:52 Triple H says, "Yep, yeah, I get it, fine."

02:06:54 "Sammy George can't be on the show."

02:06:56 Not a problem.

02:06:56 Look, Candice has been handing me nothing but losses.

02:06:59 Sure, why not?

02:07:01 Queen Zelina says, "I'm not happy about losing my strap."

02:07:03 Okay, I don't care.

02:07:06 Fine.

02:07:10 Exiting and continue booking.

02:07:11 "I've at least one tornado tag match this week."

02:07:13 Not a problem, my friend.

02:07:15 Uh, oh, maybe.

02:07:19 Right, first things first.

02:07:22 I'll have that.

02:07:27 Thank you very kindly.

02:07:29 We are gonna play the network special card.

02:07:34 No point in keeping it any longer.

02:07:35 Um, what else do I wanna do?

02:07:39 I could do free advertising booking.

02:07:41 I can buy that advertising.

02:07:42 How much is that advertising?

02:07:44 50k.

02:07:46 And then I could book it.

02:07:47 What does it do, though?

02:07:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:07:52 It will help, won't it?

02:07:53 It will help.

02:07:53 Right, first things first, I'll book the show.

02:07:55 So the main event is gonna be those two in a world title.

02:08:01 I'll make it a "False Count Anywhere" match.

02:08:03 I'll see if I can get some.

02:08:04 Just look how close I am with all of these.

02:08:07 These are hard.

02:08:08 These are hard.

02:08:09 One, two.

02:08:12 I'm so close.

02:08:14 Maybe I'll do a GM interference in this show.

02:08:18 Uh, and we'll do...

02:08:20 Um, where's my other level four?

02:08:24 You can have...

02:08:27 I don't wanna do anything too bad.

02:08:30 Uh, you've both got decent stamina,

02:08:33 so I'll book you in a TLC match.

02:08:35 Um, where's my tornado tag?

02:08:40 Not a problem.

02:08:42 And also...

02:08:44 Tornado tag will blow up a feud.

02:08:49 Right, this is feeling good, guys.

02:08:50 This is feeling good.

02:08:51 Beth and, um...

02:08:53 No, I won't book on my back page at all,

02:08:56 'cause everything costs double, doesn't it?

02:08:57 Um, okay, okay, okay.

02:09:01 And then finally...

02:09:04 I could save you guys and have you be my...

02:09:06 Yeah, because next...

02:09:07 I've got one week left in the contract.

02:09:09 Yeah, that's fine.

02:09:09 I'm not gonna book those guys in a match.

02:09:11 I'm gonna save it, blow off their feud at the pay-per-view.

02:09:14 Um, which means...

02:09:16 Women's title...

02:09:19 In an Extreme Rules match.

02:09:24 Unless...

02:09:33 How's about this?

02:09:34 Yeah, yeah, how about that?

02:09:40 Um...

02:09:42 And I'm going to use this power card,

02:09:49 so that that tables match will get a five star.

02:09:52 'Cause I ain't talking about

02:09:53 and potentially not having a perfect show.

02:09:55 All right, all right, all right.

02:09:58 Okay, so what's gonna go there then?

02:10:00 Let's have a look.

02:10:01 Um, well actually, what, 36 stamina, 35 stamina.

02:10:05 No, that's not it.

02:10:10 Maybe I'll just do it.

02:10:10 Oh, that's too much for that money.

02:10:17 Um...

02:10:18 Do I do another false count anywhere?

02:10:23 A plearly bonus at 50,000.

02:10:25 No, which can't have that be a normal match.

02:10:27 Um...

02:10:28 Look, rear on a charity promo.

02:10:30 Have I got the money for this?

02:10:32 Yes, I have.

02:10:33 I've got plenty, got plenty.

02:10:34 Um...

02:10:35 Oh, am I gonna do you an advertising promo maybe?

02:10:42 Who am I?

02:10:49 24601!

02:10:56 24601!

02:10:57 Yeah, yeah, go on.

02:11:05 Get me some...

02:11:07 Do I get me some dollar?

02:11:08 I get me some more charity.

02:11:09 How many charity promos do you want?

02:11:10 Is it book eight charity promos?

02:11:12 Or is it book eight shows with a charity promo?

02:11:16 That is a good distinction to know.

02:11:18 Because in that case, um, you can have an advertising promo.

02:11:22 Although your popularity is quite low nowadays.

02:11:24 Yeah, no, I'll let you do a charity promo.

02:11:27 And I'll let you do the advertising promo.

02:11:29 It's a heck of a no.

02:11:30 It is a heck of a no.

02:11:31 Heck of a no.

02:11:32 Um...

02:11:32 Cora Jade?

02:11:34 You can do a charity promo too.

02:11:40 Get some more fans.

02:11:40 Why not boost the level of fans we've got?

02:11:42 In that case, more charity.

02:11:44 More charity!

02:11:46 Spend the money!

02:11:47 You've got the money, you might as well spend the money!

02:11:50 Um...

02:11:52 Are we at 158?

02:11:55 I'm actually feeling all right.

02:11:57 We've got a tables match for the women's title,

02:11:59 which is going to blow off two rivalries.

02:12:01 It's Fatal 4-Way.

02:12:02 We're following that up with another level four rivalry blow off

02:12:05 in a TLC match for the North American title.

02:12:07 We've got a mid-card tornado tag match,

02:12:10 which is going to meet my commission goal.

02:12:11 We've got a level three rivalry blowing off in a normal match.

02:12:14 The money I would have spent on a stipulation for that,

02:12:16 I'm spending elsewhere.

02:12:17 Um...

02:12:18 A mid-card, uh, sorry, and a main event,

02:12:21 which is Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Jinder Mahal

02:12:23 in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

02:12:24 And that's going to help my season goal to get a, um...

02:12:29 Falls Count Anywhere thing.

02:12:33 That said, this should be, if I'm not mistaken,

02:12:36 my 15th show without an injury.

02:12:37 I don't think I've had anyone be injured.

02:12:40 So if I'm right,

02:12:41 we could be getting ourselves a Legends card in and of itself.

02:12:45 Um...

02:12:46 Ah! Logistics.

02:12:48 Thank you for reminding me.

02:12:50 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

02:12:53 I nearly forgot that.

02:12:54 That would have been bad.

02:12:55 Um...

02:12:56 And I'll book it with free advertising.

02:13:01 Um...

02:13:03 Look at all those bonuses.

02:13:05 It's got to be done, lads.

02:13:07 It's got to be done.

02:13:08 Maybe I will pull that one charity off

02:13:11 to recoup a bit of that money where I can.

02:13:15 Yeah, I think that's our show.

02:13:17 I think that's our show.

02:13:18 33 seconds left.

02:13:19 Let's take a little look.

02:13:21 Logistics have been done.

02:13:21 Oh my God, that was so close.

02:13:22 That was so close.

02:13:23 Bet the chat's screaming at me.

02:13:25 Um...

02:13:26 Who's in here?

02:13:28 It doesn't matter.

02:13:29 We'll plan that next week.

02:13:30 We'll plan it next week.

02:13:31 Are there any other ways I want to save money?

02:13:33 Um...

02:13:34 Does this need to be...

02:13:35 I'll tell you what, I'll take this.

02:13:36 I'll make this a normal match as well.

02:13:37 Um...

02:13:39 Because that will save a lot of money.

02:13:42 And that means that I can boost.

02:13:43 Yeah.

02:13:49 I think I'm quite happy with that.

02:13:50 Don't know how you help yet.

02:13:51 Start.

02:13:52 That's the timer.

02:13:55 Welcome back in the room.

02:13:59 Hello.

02:14:00 Do you want to find out who we've um...

02:14:01 Who you've vetoed?

02:14:04 Yeah.

02:14:05 It's not as bad as it could have been.

02:14:06 Who is it?

02:14:08 Shayna Baszler.

02:14:09 Shayna Baszler?

02:14:10 I mean, that's still pretty bad.

02:14:12 Could have been T-Bar though, couldn't it?

02:14:13 Could have been T-Bar.

02:14:14 Yeah, so we can work around Shayna Baszler.

02:14:16 So it just picks a random one person who is a champion.

02:14:18 Yeah, one of your champs.

02:14:19 Yeah.

02:14:20 Wow.

02:14:20 So it just picked one half of the tag team champions.

02:14:22 It did.

02:14:23 Absolute arsehole game.

02:14:25 Absolute little bumfuck game.

02:14:28 Before I dive...

02:14:29 Before I dive into Mara's suggestion for a song,

02:14:34 I would just like to shout out "All I Really Want for Christmas".

02:14:37 Or "All I Really Want" by Lil Jon,

02:14:39 which has made its way immediately to my festive playlist.

02:14:41 Oh yeah?

02:14:41 Absolutely dreadful.

02:14:42 But fantastic.

02:14:44 The lyric is "All I really want, all I really want for Christmas

02:14:47 is everything on my list, bibbit."

02:14:49 Bibbit.

02:14:50 When it says "featuring Kool-Aid Man",

02:14:52 the man says "Feliz Navidad, no eggnog, just Kool-Aid".

02:14:55 And then the Kool-Aid Man goes "Oh yeah".

02:14:57 And then the bit that really killed me was...

02:15:00 Like "Tis the Season".

02:15:04 "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

02:15:08 Or something like that.

02:15:09 It's very stupid.

02:15:10 "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

02:15:13 The problem with the other one, which is the Dragon Ball Z one,

02:15:15 was that it's a lovely little song,

02:15:16 but it was so quiet that I could hear everything you were saying.

02:15:18 So I've moved on.

02:15:18 Right, let's see.

02:15:19 Okay.

02:15:19 "Want Me" by Baby.

02:15:21 I just want to hear the ramblings of a mad man.

02:15:23 You were a little bit mad.

02:15:24 Yeah, I was.

02:15:25 This game has been absolutely fucking me off.

02:15:28 Right, Ellis, are you ready?

02:15:31 Laurie, are you ready?

02:15:33 No.

02:15:33 In three, two, one, go!

02:15:37 Seven minutes on the clock.

02:15:38 Right, Triple H, hey, something's come up

02:15:40 and I'm taking part in your show this week.

02:15:42 Sorry about that.

02:15:42 Fuck you, Triple H.

02:15:44 Hey, I feel like I'm a full guy every week at the moment.

02:15:46 Whenever in my matches I want to win.

02:15:49 Okay, well, how can I do that for you, dummy?

02:15:53 You're injured.

02:15:54 Hey, Blake.

02:15:56 Don't know, but I love the one and only backstage brawl.

02:15:59 Nobody does that better than me.

02:16:00 All right, mate, you can...

02:16:01 Oh, I think you'll book me in one.

02:16:05 See that I wasn't wrong.

02:16:06 Okay, you got it.

02:16:09 I'll book you in one within the next two weeks.

02:16:11 Yeah, fine, you can just do that as the match.

02:16:13 I don't give a shit.

02:16:15 Book at least one Ironman match this week.

02:16:17 What would I get for that?

02:16:18 Health spa, of course.

02:16:19 Of course, of course.

02:16:20 Fucking health spa, of course.

02:16:24 Right, this is...

02:16:25 This, this, you can do that.

02:16:29 Fine, there you go.

02:16:30 Backstage brawl for the NXT title because you're a prick.

02:16:34 You're a stupid prick and I think you're stupid and a prick.

02:16:38 All right, and then we're going to do Drew McIntyre versus this guy.

02:16:42 We'll just do...

02:16:44 We'll do tables like...

02:16:48 We're going to do...

02:16:50 Mello versus Balor.

02:16:55 I actually, the problem is I don't think I can risk this being more than just a regular match.

02:17:00 Like I think, I think the problem with my pay-per-view is that I need my pay-per-view

02:17:04 to still have people coming out of it uninjured.

02:17:07 Wouldn't that be nice?

02:17:11 Then we're going to do...

02:17:12 We can't do Asuka versus Baszler because she's vetoed, right?

02:17:16 And that's who Asuka is in a feud with.

02:17:18 We can do Trish and Bayley.

02:17:19 And on 40 stamina, do you know what?

02:17:24 I'm going to run the risk and do an Iron Man match with a 20% injury chance

02:17:28 because that's just how I roll.

02:17:29 Fine.

02:17:31 I hate this.

02:17:34 I hate this.

02:17:35 I hate it so much.

02:17:37 And now I've just got to put someone in.

02:17:39 I've still got a week to wait for these guys.

02:17:41 God damn it!

02:17:43 And then we're gonna, we're gonna have to just do like...

02:17:47 Raquel versus Shotzi and hope that that happens.

02:17:52 Oh, I just, I so just wanted to book the tag match just to get it to level three.

02:17:58 Why does this game hate me?

02:18:02 New logistics.

02:18:04 Oh great, cool.

02:18:06 Right, well we're gonna do, we'll activate a free crew booking.

02:18:09 We'll save some money.

02:18:10 We'll activate a free arena booking and we'll save some money.

02:18:15 Can I book any special...

02:18:20 Right, well that's free so we'll have that.

02:18:23 Thank you.

02:18:23 Unlock cost tier five, two hundred thousand dollars.

02:18:31 Oh yeah!

02:18:34 Ah, I can't afford to unlock that so we're gonna go survivor series, rounded PLE.

02:18:41 Do I want to do that?

02:18:45 That's 50k to unlock that.

02:18:46 Yeah, why not?

02:18:48 Because then I get it for free, right?

02:18:51 I can have it for free because I can do this.

02:18:53 Fine, we'll just have it for free.

02:18:57 Fuck it.

02:18:57 I don't know if it's good.

02:19:00 I won't look into it.

02:19:02 I'm sorry.

02:19:03 I don't care.

02:19:04 Do I want to do the advertisers?

02:19:06 No, I don't.

02:19:08 So we're gonna look at the other power cards that are available.

02:19:12 Backstage brawler.

02:19:14 Higher than normal rating.

02:19:18 That's pretty good.

02:19:18 But I don't think we need that.

02:19:21 Who could I use this on?

02:19:23 Oh, I could boost mellow up massively.

02:19:26 I'm gonna use that on mellow.

02:19:32 I'm gonna make him real popular after this.

02:19:35 Okay, have I promised anyone anything?

02:19:40 Yes, I have promised.

02:19:43 Of course I promised someone something and I've not done it because that's the way I roll.

02:19:46 Oh, I'm not happy with my show.

02:19:49 I don't like it.

02:19:50 Right, what have we got?

02:19:52 I've got them in their level two little rivalry.

02:19:55 They're in their little level two rivalry.

02:19:57 I think they're better to take the risk on the old Iron Man match.

02:20:01 This is risky.

02:20:02 This is really risky.

02:20:03 I feel like, I feel like this is fucking me off.

02:20:11 Right, what else could I do?

02:20:14 Could I buy anyone?

02:20:15 I could buy this, buy Aaliyah.

02:20:18 I could have Apollo Crews.

02:20:22 I could get Dolph for quite a lot of money.

02:20:24 I don't really want Dolph for a lot of money.

02:20:25 Get Edge for five weeks as a specialist.

02:20:29 Specialist Edge.

02:20:31 That'd be interesting.

02:20:32 Could do that.

02:20:33 I've got time because I've just, I've booked the only people available.

02:20:42 There's no like other thinking to be done here.

02:20:44 I just have to book the humans and I've booked them.

02:20:47 He's very popular T-Bar currently.

02:20:50 Iliot's really popular.

02:20:51 Jesus Christ, they're more popular than Big E is.

02:20:54 Look how unpopular Big E is.

02:20:56 67.

02:20:58 That's with the bell.

02:20:59 That's crazy.

02:21:00 We really want that bell on Balo as well.

02:21:03 We want the bell.

02:21:03 Drew and Razor, they might start something.

02:21:06 I feel like there's not much point buying anyone again this week.

02:21:09 I feel like I just want to get, I mean, I want to buy the Brock now that I've seen the Brock,

02:21:15 but that's fine.

02:21:17 I could buy Eddie as well.

02:21:18 I think we are just going to have to roll with the punches on this one

02:21:22 and have a fairly piss poor show.

02:21:27 Is it worth just buying this for the sake of it and using it on the main event?

02:21:34 As I've been forced into having it as a backstage brawl.

02:21:37 Is it worth just buying this?

02:21:38 Oh, I could get injury rehab though.

02:21:40 Hang on.

02:21:41 No, they're all coming back next week.

02:21:47 They're all coming back next week.

02:21:51 However, I guarantee you one of them will get, someone else will be injured this week.

02:21:56 So let's just buy this in advance.

02:21:59 That is, that is it.

02:22:03 That's, that's what we're doing.

02:22:04 We're not going to spend the backstage brawl card.

02:22:06 I feel like Dan's played his, I feel like he's played his crazy card.

02:22:10 So that's going to fuck me over.

02:22:12 We'll put some, we'll quickly put some promos in from people.

02:22:15 Aska do a self promo.

02:22:16 Well done.

02:22:17 Great job.

02:22:18 Hey, Katana Chance.

02:22:21 Why don't you do a promo?

02:22:23 Oh, you can do a promo.

02:22:24 You can do a promo.

02:22:25 You can call out Riddle.

02:22:27 Who is injured.

02:22:28 There you go.

02:22:29 Self promo.

02:22:31 Sure.

02:22:32 And then maybe a charity promo.

02:22:35 For Katana.

02:22:38 There we go.

02:22:38 Confirm.

02:22:44 Ooh, I can't even, oh right.

02:22:47 Let me just remove these things.

02:22:49 Gone over budget and over time.

02:22:52 This sounds like a penalty.

02:22:53 There we go.

02:22:55 There's going to be a special penalty.

02:22:57 Except I won't push that because I feel like Laurie will kill me.

02:23:05 I just removed two things and now we're back on budget.

02:23:07 Doesn't matter, you were over time.

02:23:08 Well, I've confirmed now.

02:23:09 I will leave that up to Pete in the chat because I'm too scared.

02:23:16 Now, how do you feel that went?

02:23:18 Badly.

02:23:19 Tell me why.

02:23:20 Well, again, just had no rivalries ready to go.

02:23:23 So I've put them all in matches.

02:23:25 I'm pretty sure everyone's going to come out of it injured.

02:23:28 I might not make any money back on this show.

02:23:30 So we're about to find out.

02:23:32 I feel pretty good about my show.

02:23:34 Yep.

02:23:35 Now that you've got your Hall of Fame trophy, you're still in the lead.

02:23:38 So I don't feel like that's necessarily gonna change.

02:23:42 Because it's Hall of Fame trophies, then viewers.

02:23:46 Sure.

02:23:46 So like, yeah.

02:23:48 But I've got a lot that I've been able to blow up here.

02:23:53 And I've had a good time.

02:23:54 I've used some power cards.

02:23:55 Even your double cost didn't mess me up too bad because I've been frugal elsewhere.

02:23:58 Why is this happening to me?

02:24:01 Why can't I keep the money?

02:24:02 I don't know.

02:24:03 I don't know.

02:24:04 But you still have that .25 special extravaganza.

02:24:07 So who knows?

02:24:08 We're opening with a Fatal 4-Way to blow off two feuds at once for the women's title.

02:24:12 We've got Charlotte and Beth Phoenix, dude drop a Queen Selena.

02:24:14 We're gonna see who that title belongs to at the end of this Fatal 4-Way tables match.

02:24:19 Charlotte Flair takes the belt.

02:24:21 What a surprise.

02:24:21 And a legendary five stars with two completed rivalries.

02:24:27 Very good.

02:24:27 Did you do your thing?

02:24:29 Which bit?

02:24:30 Network special.

02:24:31 Yeah.

02:24:31 Oh, yeah, I did.

02:24:33 I tried to recoup some of my costs.

02:24:36 And that's decent.

02:24:38 Minus two is fine.

02:24:40 I was gonna have this be a TLC match.

02:24:41 But I decided that that was gonna cost a little bit more money than I wanted to spend.

02:24:44 Because I had to buy the assets and the logistics.

02:24:46 So we've taken this down to just a normal match.

02:24:50 But again, it's a level four rivalry for the title.

02:24:52 Finally gonna blow off this feud that has been sitting there patiently doing nothing all week.

02:24:58 Amazing.

02:24:58 Okay, fine.

02:24:59 Very nice.

02:25:00 Very nice.

02:25:01 Happy date.

02:25:01 Charity promo from Kevin Owens.

02:25:03 Gets me some more fans.

02:25:04 We're trying to bump up the number of fans we've got.

02:25:06 Bump up that number of fans.

02:25:07 Tornado tag.

02:25:08 This was my commissioner goal.

02:25:08 Have a tornado tag match.

02:25:09 So we've got it between our level three tag team rivalry.

02:25:12 Randy and what was it?

02:25:14 Randy Lee versus...

02:25:15 Randy Lee versus Lash Paul.

02:25:17 Lash Paul.

02:25:17 Bogan.

02:25:17 The Bogans.

02:25:18 The Bogans.

02:25:19 For the tag team titles.

02:25:21 Let's see how we do with this one.

02:25:23 Retaining our Wesley and Randy Ordnance.

02:25:25 And it's amazing.

02:25:26 And it's amazing.

02:25:27 That's good.

02:25:28 I hoped it would be a little bit higher, but that's fine.

02:25:30 Cora Jade's got a charity promo.

02:25:31 See what she's going to bring in a week 1000 fans.

02:25:33 Well done Cora.

02:25:34 She tried.

02:25:36 Skateboarding away.

02:25:37 Another one.

02:25:38 Off she goes.

02:25:39 She rounds up 1000 people and she skateboards them into the arena.

02:25:42 Bobby and Mustafa Ali are going to finish off this feud.

02:25:44 Again, a little normal match.

02:25:45 So I'm not expecting too much from this in terms of rating.

02:25:49 But...

02:25:49 The rivalry is complete and it was great.

02:25:54 That's okay.

02:25:55 Very good.

02:25:55 That's okay.

02:25:56 I have high hopes.

02:25:57 Oh yeah.

02:25:58 Another advertising promo to get a little bit more money back.

02:26:00 You just chose not to really have many stipulations?

02:26:05 Well, because I had the rivalries.

02:26:06 Yeah.

02:26:07 And because the cost of the stipulations were double.

02:26:09 I was looking at spending basically all of my money.

02:26:12 Right.

02:26:12 And I was like...

02:26:13 If I...

02:26:14 You didn't want to do that.

02:26:15 No.

02:26:15 If I whacked a couple of normal matches in there.

02:26:17 Well, yeah, I had the advantage of the rivalries.

02:26:19 If I didn't have any rivalries and I whacked in a bigger...

02:26:22 You know, it was that...

02:26:23 Trying to find that balance thing.

02:26:24 I'm sure the chat was very angry with me.

02:26:26 But, you know...

02:26:26 No, not those guys.

02:26:28 And then our main event is a Fortescan Anywhere match with Stone Cold and Jinder Mahal.

02:26:31 Very good.

02:26:33 For the title.

02:26:34 See how they're gonna do.

02:26:35 Close off the rivalry.

02:26:37 Go on, do me a favor.

02:26:38 Do me a favor.

02:26:39 Legendary!

02:26:40 Rivalry complete.

02:26:41 That's gonna qualify for amazing booking.

02:26:44 I'm quite happy with that show.

02:26:46 I could have probably pushed a few of those amazings up a little bit.

02:26:50 But, sure.

02:26:51 Not the worst.

02:26:52 There we go.

02:26:54 All right.

02:26:56 The Dregs.

02:26:57 The Dregs.

02:26:58 I've earned a trophy!

02:26:59 You earned a trophy.

02:27:00 Very good.

02:27:01 Right, here we go.

02:27:02 Trish versus Bailey.

02:27:03 Level 2 rivalry.

02:27:04 They're doing an Iron Woman match.

02:27:06 Because that was my commissioner god.

02:27:07 Ah!

02:27:08 And they're not too bad stamina wise.

02:27:10 So they're all right.

02:27:10 Yeah, they might be okay.

02:27:11 I've also fortunately managed to buy an injury recovery time card as well.

02:27:16 Very good.

02:27:17 Which I clearly need.

02:27:18 And that rivalry just won't grow.

02:27:19 It won't go anywhere.

02:27:20 It just won't go anywhere.

02:27:21 An Iron Woman match.

02:27:22 A four star Iron Woman match.

02:27:24 Trish and Bailey, broadly fine with each other.

02:27:27 Broadly fine.

02:27:28 Why this game?

02:27:29 Why this round?

02:27:31 Okay, well Asuka does a good little thing.

02:27:33 She gets a little popularity boost.

02:27:35 Very nice.

02:27:36 Mid cards.

02:27:37 Because you vetoed Baszler, I couldn't run the tag.

02:27:40 So I can't get that up to the point that I need it to be at.

02:27:44 So that means that we're just going to try...

02:27:46 And you couldn't do anything with Asuka either.

02:27:47 We're trying to clang these two idiots together once again.

02:27:51 I couldn't do anything with Asuka either.

02:27:52 Who is in a feud with Baszler.

02:27:54 So can't do the tag.

02:27:57 Couldn't do Baszler.

02:27:58 It might have been the worst possible one you could have got actually.

02:28:00 But then we get this rivalry.

02:28:02 Okay, that's fine.

02:28:03 That's all right.

02:28:04 Works.

02:28:04 That's fine.

02:28:05 The annoying thing is the tag is pissing me off that I cannot get rid of it now.

02:28:10 Rodriguez and Shotsi.

02:28:14 Level one.

02:28:15 Like it really feels like it's holding me back because it's a nightmare to book around

02:28:20 these four women.

02:28:22 Do I need to do other things all being in this tag feud?

02:28:25 It's been sat there at level two for the whole time.

02:28:28 This is good because Riddle's back next week.

02:28:30 Oh, how exciting.

02:28:32 So they've just grown to level three.

02:28:35 Helpful.

02:28:36 Which is very nice.

02:28:37 Why won't the ones that I've actually been booking in matches grow?

02:28:40 Who fucking knows?

02:28:41 Just gonna try this again.

02:28:42 We're gonna try this again.

02:28:43 See if the boys want to do it.

02:28:44 Do they want to do it?

02:28:45 Is Razor gonna get injured?

02:28:47 We'll find out.

02:28:47 Razor beats Drew.

02:28:48 Of course.

02:28:50 And it doesn't do a rivalry either.

02:28:52 I fucking told you before this started.

02:28:53 Didn't I say?

02:28:54 Before I booked it, I was like someone's getting injured on this show.

02:28:58 It's no rivalry.

02:28:59 And I...

02:28:59 Fuck it.

02:29:01 He's gone.

02:29:01 He's out.

02:29:02 Razor, you're out.

02:29:03 Sod you.

02:29:04 Drew, we'll get you a new friend.

02:29:05 I don't know who it's gonna be.

02:29:08 It's gonna be someone else.

02:29:09 Bloody Big E.

02:29:11 He'll turn you, Drew, and then you'll go against Big E.

02:29:14 Fine.

02:29:14 Right.

02:29:15 Stupid fucking game.

02:29:19 Right, this thing.

02:29:20 Oh.

02:29:23 And the rivalry grows and Bal is injured.

02:29:26 Of course he is.

02:29:28 Yep.

02:29:30 Four.

02:29:31 Yep.

02:29:32 And I bought the card, fortunately, so I can half that.

02:29:35 But, you know, we are doing a backstage brawl main event.

02:29:39 These guys asked for a backstage brawl.

02:29:41 Oh, good.

02:29:41 And so I put on this.

02:29:45 Hold your breath for T-Bar.

02:29:45 Fucking hell, man.

02:29:47 Go on.

02:29:49 Oh, T-Bar come through.

02:29:53 T-Bar come...

02:29:54 And the great thing about that is Ilya's still the champion.

02:29:58 Yeah.

02:29:58 And Ilya's a specialist.

02:30:00 Which means he can fight with anyone.

02:30:03 Oh my...

02:30:04 Why...

02:30:04 God love Ilya.

02:30:05 Ilya Dragunov and T-Bar are your MVPs.

02:30:07 Absolutely.

02:30:08 They've been holding down this entire month.

02:30:10 They have.

02:30:10 And you're also going to get amazing booking because you're a great opener.

02:30:12 And my curve's good, yeah.

02:30:14 So that's fine.

02:30:15 That's okay.

02:30:16 We can deal with the injuries.

02:30:17 We're going to sack off Razor Ramon, because fuck him.

02:30:21 And then we're going to keep...

02:30:23 We're going to half Balor's time.

02:30:24 Yeah.

02:30:24 So Balor's going to be rested up and back by the pay-per-view next time.

02:30:28 So that's okay.

02:30:28 I'm okay with that.

02:30:30 It wasn't as bad a show as I thought it was going to be overall.

02:30:34 Okay.

02:30:34 Some absolute dross in the middle.

02:30:36 Yeah, a little bit.

02:30:37 Some people were like, "Oh, wow. They've really done some weird booking here."

02:30:40 Do you want to look at anything?

02:30:42 No, I want to get to the bit.

02:30:44 I want to find out how this has gone.

02:30:46 Match card quality A.

02:30:48 Oh, it's big!

02:30:49 It's huge.

02:30:50 It's big!

02:30:51 211,000.

02:30:53 That's a big number.

02:30:55 That's huge.

02:30:56 That's a big number.

02:30:58 I was worried because I didn't book any of the other specialties that I wasn't going to get.

02:31:03 A big number.

02:31:04 Yeah.

02:31:04 And you made money back as well.

02:31:05 But I made money back.

02:31:06 That was something really important because I was worried I was just going to lose it all

02:31:09 on spending it on everything because of the double cost.

02:31:11 But that's good.

02:31:13 Can't describe 2.0.

02:31:15 Amazing.

02:31:15 Not liking Owen so much as a bad guy.

02:31:17 Well, you know, it's odd yet.

02:31:19 Surprised you're not liking him as a bad guy.

02:31:21 That's the point dark sensation in the ring, you smark.

02:31:24 Stone Cold Show.

02:31:27 Slowly pulling ahead of NXT.

02:31:29 That might be a little spoiler.

02:31:30 Outrageous.

02:31:32 That might be a little spoiler there.

02:31:33 Tonight's NXT 2.0 was so much better than last week.

02:31:36 What a shocker.

02:31:36 Great effort from Charlotte to win the title and Charlotte's a specialist so she can do what she

02:31:40 wants.

02:31:40 Doudrop and Beth Phoenix both had chances to win.

02:31:42 Really solid contest between Austin and Mahal.

02:31:45 Stone Cold on a great run who can end the streak.

02:31:48 No one could accuse NXT 2.0 of repressive matches.

02:31:50 That is a good sign for Truth.0.

02:31:57 I'm going to put these glasses back on if I've beaten you.

02:31:59 So it's 2.05.1.

02:32:00 I'm on 2.05.1.

02:32:02 Broken 2 mil.

02:32:03 That's great.

02:32:04 2.05.1.

02:32:06 Where you at?

02:32:06 Here we go.

02:32:07 Come on!

02:32:11 He's done it.

02:32:16 He's done it.

02:32:17 2 million and 8,000 for black and gold.

02:32:21 For Blake and gold.

02:32:23 They've gone into second place.

02:32:31 How the fuck did you get that card and you've got all the bloody money?

02:32:35 And now everyone's injured again, aren't they?

02:32:39 This game hates me.

02:32:41 This game hates me more than anything.

02:32:43 I bet they'll give you a summit knife.

02:32:45 Dragunov.

02:32:46 It's such a natural backstage brawl matches.

02:32:49 Need to see this more often.

02:32:49 Blah blah blah blah blah.

02:32:50 Man, what an inter-rival between Dragunov and T-Bar.

02:32:53 Almost didn't want it to end.

02:32:55 Me neither because the only bloody thing we had going for us on our show.

02:32:59 A hell of a show NXT.

02:33:00 NXT 2.0.

02:33:01 Blah blah blah blah.

02:33:02 I don't care.

02:33:02 Absolute nonsense.

02:33:05 I'm glad I made money back there.

02:33:07 I was like, phew.

02:33:08 I was flying close to the sun.

02:33:11 And he's done it.

02:33:13 Revenue tier one.

02:33:14 Earned 2 million in lifetime revenue.

02:33:16 Well done.

02:33:17 Great.

02:33:17 Sold out.

02:33:19 Limited stock.

02:33:20 Selecting opposing brand.

02:33:21 Double the price of their power card.

02:33:22 Great.

02:33:22 Shop next week.

02:33:23 And that was it.

02:33:24 All right.

02:33:24 And I got a health spa.

02:33:25 Which I need because once again everyone's tired.

02:33:29 And I got the double cost thing as well.

02:33:31 And again.

02:33:31 Okay.

02:33:34 Okay.

02:33:34 Let's leave it there.

02:33:35 Now I just can't compete with the money.

02:33:40 It's...

02:33:40 And I will say that Hall of Fame trophy I got there was not for completing five challenges.

02:33:47 No.

02:33:47 That was for getting two mil in the bank.

02:33:49 So me being frugal with my budget has sort of saved me there a little bit sometimes.

02:33:54 Because I can invest more and get more back.

02:33:56 Yeah, true.

02:33:57 So I've still got that moment.

02:33:58 Look at my champs though.

02:34:00 Your champ hasn't appeared in this series.

02:34:02 In this...

02:34:03 In this...

02:34:04 Neither really have.

02:34:05 Neither really have.

02:34:05 Big E was out for the entire time after the first week.

02:34:08 And Asuka, because she's been trying to grow a rivalry, has not been in any matches.

02:34:12 Yeah.

02:34:13 She's only been in to sub out the people who already had rivalries.

02:34:16 Who needed stamina relief.

02:34:18 And then she only just got one going the week before the pay-per-view.

02:34:21 And then the person she would have gone against was Vito.

02:34:23 Sorry babe.

02:34:24 Sorry babes.

02:34:25 What a fucking horrible...

02:34:28 Oh well.

02:34:29 Pay-per-view cycle for me.

02:34:30 What a horrible time.

02:34:31 God that's a nice...

02:34:32 What a terrible, awful time.

02:34:33 That's a nice picture isn't it?

02:34:35 What a dreadful, horrible, terrible fucking time that I had.

02:34:38 Okay, okay.

02:34:38 Look at that picture.

02:34:39 Lovely.

02:34:43 Should we send it back to P?

02:34:43 P?

02:34:46 Oh P?

02:34:46 Hello.

02:34:47 Wow.

02:34:49 What a conclusion to this stream of the Wednesday Night War.

02:34:53 Truth point 0.

02:34:55 Pulling ahead.

02:34:56 Using that Network Special to great effect there.

02:35:00 211,000 fans.

02:35:03 I thought that Dan was celebrating prematurely because he didn't have a Hall of Fame trophy.

02:35:07 And I thought he was still going to be number two.

02:35:09 But as it turns out, he got one.

02:35:10 So now they're tied.

02:35:11 Which means that he's now ahead because he has way more fans.

02:35:14 But still ought to play forward the Hall of Fame trophies.

02:35:17 Because they don't have the same one each.

02:35:19 Which means Laurie still has his 2 million revenue to try and get by the end of the season.

02:35:24 And Dan still has his seasonal challenges to get as well.

02:35:27 He keeps doing 50k on people who ask for it.

02:35:29 He'll never get that.

02:35:30 Well, he might not get that ever.

02:35:31 But we'll see, won't we, next time.

02:35:33 And speaking of next time.

02:35:35 For those of you who want to get a date in your calendars.

02:35:37 The next stream for Wednesday Night War will be taking three weeks from today.

02:35:43 That is December the 13th.

02:35:46 So put that in your calendars.

02:35:47 That's the next date.

02:35:48 December the 13th.

02:35:49 We will be here.

02:35:50 I'll be hosting again.

02:35:52 And we're going to be having the fourth pay-per-view cycle.

02:35:54 The penultimate pay-per-view cycle.

02:35:56 Then in January we'll be having our last and final stream.

02:36:00 And it's going to be great.

02:36:01 And we're going to have a culmination to the Wednesday Night War.

02:36:03 And we're going to see who's going to win.

02:36:04 What a huge pay-per-view cycle it has been for Dan Layton and NXT 2.0.

02:36:09 And we have one final Ultra Chat here from Marco.

02:36:13 Who said, "Howdy folks.

02:36:14 Sorry I couldn't watch this live because of work.

02:36:16 But with this being NXT vs NXT 2.0, the theme song for this should be

02:36:19 'When Worlds Collide' by Power Man 5000.

02:36:22 Have fun folks.

02:36:23 Best of luck to both."

02:36:24 Pete's going to win in the end anyways.

02:36:25 LOL.

02:36:25 I didn't add that on.

02:36:27 That's legitimately in the Ultra Chat.

02:36:29 And I agree.

02:36:31 Yes, I am.

02:36:32 I'm going to make it a four Pete.

02:36:34 That doesn't quite work as well as three Pete, does it?

02:36:36 No, I thought it didn't work even in four.

02:36:38 Four Pete.

02:36:39 It's going to be great.

02:36:42 But yes, please do join us on December 13th for the next Wednesday Night War stream.

02:36:58 And there's so many different plates that are going to be spinning

02:37:02 going into next pay-per-view cycle in three weeks time.

02:37:05 I'd like to thank Dan and Laurie for joining me today.
