00:00Welcome to the Monday Night War Season 3!
00:26I am Luke Owen D.A.D. representing Monday Night Raw.
00:30I am Chopper Peek Winnell representing Monday Night Smackdown.
00:34And this is, as Luke said, Season 3 of the Monday Night War. We are back!
00:38And we are playing, not just with a new look, but a brand new game!
00:44WWE 2K23 and this episode is sponsored by WWE 2K23.
00:50Play through the showcase mode with John Cena where you can unlock a very, very fun feature that I am not going to spoil.
00:56Along with a whole host of new match types like WARGAMES!
00:59But crucially for us, a new and improved and highly bolstered MyGM mode.
01:06I cannot wait to dive into this because I don't know all of the changes that have been made.
01:11We had a very quick look at just a couple of the changes just so we're not completely having to see when we get on to week one.
01:16But I don't know half the changes that they've done for this new game.
01:21So many more match types. You can have four players in MyGM mode now. It's real cool! It's great!
01:27Alright, so there's a lot more for us to dive into which means we've got a lot more to do in the small timeframe that we have.
01:33But we're still sticking to seven minutes!
01:34We're still sticking with seven minutes per booking round.
01:37So there are things like you can now do Triple Threat Match, Fatal 4-Ways, there are more belts!
01:42Mid-card titles!
01:43Mid-card titles are now available!
01:45There are, I mean, we're obviously going to be Raw and SmackDown!
01:48Of course!
01:49But there's now NXT 2.0 and WCW is one of the brands that you can do!
01:55And I think one of the really fun features about this, which is going to be fun for us particularly when we come to Season 4, should we ever get there, is that you've got continuing seasons!
02:05So when you've finished a season block, you just move into the next era of that season and you just continue on and continue on and continue on!
02:13I'm so excited!
02:15It's going to be so, so cool!
02:17We have, basically, we've played through a couple of weeks just auto-booking things, because we had to get through all the tutorial stuff so that it's going to be fair for whoever goes first isn't losing time with Xavier Woods popping up here like,
02:29Hey guys! Did you know this?
02:31Did you know? Did you know this is here?
02:32If you press this button, no!
02:34Get out of here, Navi!
02:35I've got time for you!
02:37Hey, listen!
02:38Shut up!
02:39So we've gone through a lot of that stuff, but we're going to start a brand new save file.
02:44And today's episode is the all-important Draft Day episode.
02:50If you're new to the Monday Night War series, we think the way this game works is that you win by having the most fans at the end.
02:59We think, asterisk, we don't know that for certain.
03:02We don't know for certain, because I've watched Woods and Breeze play through this, and at the end of their first week,
03:08Bischoff, who's one of the new GMs in the game, had more fans, but less money.
03:14Whereas Woods had less fans, but more money, way more money.
03:18And was ranked number one.
03:19And he was ranked number one.
03:20So we don't know, really!
03:21We don't know, but when we played through it in our little test run, we were just auto-booking things.
03:26It was in fan order.
03:28Yes.
03:29So we'll find out, I guess?
03:31We'll figure out!
03:32Whoever's ranked number one will win!
03:34Speaking of winning, Luke, this is obviously season three of Monday Night War.
03:40We've had two prior seasons in WWE 2K22.
03:43Which I did very well in.
03:45And I don't even see, I've got little stars here.
03:48That's one, and that is two.
03:51Which is how many seasons I've won.
03:53Yes, true.
03:54How many have you got?
03:56I've got no stars on my jacket.
03:58You've got no stars?
03:59No, I've got no stars.
04:00That is a shame.
04:01See, the thing is, Luke, is I didn't want you to feel left out.
04:03So I did get you a star.
04:06This one says, I tried on it.
04:09So there you go.
04:10That's all yours, buddy.
04:11Thank you so much.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Ytrid.
04:16There's not really much of a space between the I and tried.
04:19Look, they didn't have much space to work with, alright?
04:21Well, that's it.
04:22Now, Ytrid.
04:23Ytrid.
04:24Ytrid.
04:25Luke Owen.
04:26That's his new nickname right there.
04:27I'm just going to do this without stabbing myself in the finger.
04:29That's ideal.
04:30Yep.
04:31Ytrid.
04:32Ytrid, everybody.
04:33And as did Pete in making this star.
04:35I didn't make it.
04:37I ordered it.
04:38Not some plan.
04:42Right.
04:43Okay, Pete.
04:44Let's get into this.
04:45Shall we set up our brand new game?
04:47Let's do this.
04:48So, new save file.
04:49Out of here, Woods.
04:51Right.
04:52Add player.
04:54Custom.
04:56Custom superstar.
04:57We have.
04:58We have got ourselves in here, but we couldn't get them.
05:06We've loaded images into the 2K thing, but we couldn't get them to work.
05:10So, we just very rapidly made ourselves.
05:13So, there's me as raw.
05:15Add player.
05:16Human.
05:17Yeah.
05:18Custom superstar.
05:19Yep.
05:20Pete.
05:21That's definitely not the same person with a different color jacket and a different beard.
05:26That's not what we did.
05:28Yeah.
05:29I don't want you to insinuate that we played one guy and then just did duplicates created
05:35superstar and changed the color of the jacket.
05:37Also, the tightest.
05:39I love it.
05:41There we are.
05:42I love it.
05:43Also, I know few people have requested this.
05:45It's still just me versus Pete.
05:47Yep.
05:48It's the way that we like it.
05:49Yes.
05:50We're also not going to add in CPU players.
05:51We had a big discussion about this.
05:53We'll talk about this a bit more in the behind the scenes podcast, available over at
05:56.com forward slash WrestleTalk, where I was maybe pushing for it.
06:01However, a great point was made.
06:03What if a CPU wins?
06:05Real bad.
06:06Real anticlimactic game.
06:07Yeah, it just is a bit anticlimactic.
06:09So, it's just going to be me and also me by the looks of things.
06:14No, no, no, no.
06:15It's me and also me.
06:17Well, that's only because, Pete, the template jacket is blue.
06:21BLUE!
06:23Oh, sorry.
06:24Woods has popped up.
06:25Woods, hello.
06:26Can I have it?
06:27All right.
06:28Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:29Confirm.
06:30Let's do this.
06:31These are the brands and GMs for this season.
06:32Yes.
06:33All right.
06:34So, normal difficulty.
06:35We're going to give ourselves three mil.
06:36Mm-hmm.
06:37We're going to do a straight order.
06:40Yes.
06:41So, which means I'm going to go first, you're going to go next.
06:42If you have more GMs, it makes more sense to do snake order.
06:45So, it's not people aren't just missing out.
06:46You go back and forth, back and forth, but straight order for me and you make sense.
06:49Keeping the shakeups on.
06:50We don't actually really know what shakeups are yet, but I'm sure we'll find out.
06:53We'll figure it out.
06:54And we're not doing an auto draft because we're going to draft our people.
06:56Right.
06:57In which case, Pete.
06:58That's what this episode is.
06:59Let's start.
07:00Let's begin.
07:01The Monday Night War.
07:02All right.
07:03So, I get to pick first.
07:04I've got my notepad.
07:05Oh, yeah.
07:06Notepad.
07:07Right.
07:08Got my notepad ready.
07:09Got a new page.
07:10It says season three on one side.
07:11Got it ready.
07:12I'm pumped.
07:13I did not do that.
07:14Although, I do have Blood on the Clock tower notes.
07:16Oh, cool.
07:17It says Tempest equals Golem.
07:19Cool.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Great.
07:22Right.
07:23Here we go.
07:24Draft rules.
07:25Right.
07:26Okay.
07:27So, let's think sensibly here.
07:28This is mostly, from what we can tell, this is mostly the same as 2K22.
07:30Yep.
07:31As the previous two seasons.
07:32In terms of you have classes, stamina, popularity, they have a cost, heel and face.
07:36All of that is the same, we think, from the previous game.
07:38That's right, yes.
07:39So, who am I going to take?
07:40I mean, look.
07:41Do I go big and just get Cody?
07:43Adrenaline!
07:44Adrenaline.
07:45Cody roses.
07:47Kinda raw.
07:48Yeah, you know.
07:50Uh-huh.
07:51His popularity is 59, was it?
07:5359.
07:54Which is good.
07:55It's on the higher end.
07:56Yeah.
07:57It seems like popularity to start with is like low 60s is the highest you're looking at.
08:00Yeah.
08:01I mean, your first one's got to be big, right?
08:03I mean, you say that.
08:04Cody Rhodes.
08:05What did I just hire?
08:07That's a, uh, specialist.
08:09OW!
08:10Bollocks!
08:11How do you make these mistakes, Luke?
08:13This is draft pick number one!
08:17This is the first thing I've done in this new series and I've made a mistake.
08:25You know, to be fair, from the very brief experimentation that we had before,
08:30it didn't look like there was as much of a penalty.
08:33That's true.
08:34For putting classes that didn't work together in matches together.
08:37Yeah.
08:38So if you're new to my GM, you have certain classes like fighters work well with bruisers.
08:43Giants work well with cruisers.
08:45Specialists kind of work with everyone.
08:46Yes.
08:47Um, but you don't get as much of a buff on that.
08:49Yes.
08:50Um, yeah, I should have, I should have looked at that.
08:53Yeah.
08:54I've written down here, specialist, baby face, Cody.
08:56I've got a nice little grid system to work this out.
08:58I need to look at a certain thing.
09:01I'm going to look for...
09:03Who's the most stamina-rous?
09:06Stam, stamina-filled.
09:07Stam...
09:08Well, it's Natty, of course, because she doesn't do anything.
09:10Barely wrestles on TV.
09:12That's not quite what I want.
09:14And Carmella's up there.
09:15Popularity's pretty good.
09:16Hey, Carmella worked out really well for you in season two.
09:1857, uh, with an 83 stamina's really good.
09:22Alexa Bliss, 79 stamina with a 59 popularity.
09:27Also very good.
09:28Mm-hmm.
09:29Oh, I'm only on women.
09:30I need to be on everybody!
09:32There you go, Angel Garza!
09:34He's honestly not bad.
09:36Uh, 54 popularity.
09:38Mm-hmm.
09:40Angel Garza!
09:41Angel Garza!
09:42Would you look at that?
09:43Sorry, Angel.
09:44Sorry, yeah.
09:45Um...
09:46Right.
09:47Right, okay.
09:48Well, let's think about this more sensibly this time.
09:51Um...
09:52How did you sort by popularity?
09:54Oh, I see, then...
09:55There you go.
09:56Triangle.
09:57That's...
09:58That's...
09:59Yeah.
10:00Mm-hmm.
10:01Let's do a roll, then class, then stamina, then popularity.
10:03Aha!
10:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:05There you go.
10:06Oh, Asuka is...
10:07You're on popularity.
10:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Asuka is the most popular, would you look at that?
10:11Yeah, that's 63.
10:12Yeah.
10:13And she's a fighter.
10:14She is a fighter.
10:15Babyface fighter.
10:16Very nice.
10:17Very nice.
10:18Asuka.
10:19Babyface.
10:20Ah, no!
10:21Hang on.
10:22I think it's not...
10:23Doesn't work.
10:24I've only got just...
10:25Mm-hmm.
10:26Right, I need to do this twice over.
10:27Well, while you're doing that...
10:29Okay, so I have Angel, who is a cruiser heel.
10:35So, why don't we try and pair him up with a giant face.
10:44Oh, dear!
10:45What's up, bud?
10:46Well, there's Braun Strowman.
10:48Train man!
10:49Train man!
10:50Choo-choo!
10:51And there's Commander Aziz.
10:53And Shanky, to be fair.
10:56And Shanky, to be fair.
10:57And Shanky, mate.
10:58He's also there.
10:59I get a bruiser.
11:00She was a bruiser, or was she a fighter?
11:02A cruiser.
11:03No.
11:04No.
11:05Fighter.
11:06Fighter, thank you.
11:07You're welcome.
11:08Why am I helping you?
11:09Ask her.
11:10Do I want to go Braun?
11:11Do I want to go Commander Aziz?
11:13Do I want to go Shanky?
11:15That is all the babyface giants that I can get.
11:22Oh, who's going to be best for me here?
11:24You know what?
11:26Commander Aziz!
11:27See, I like the way that Pete does this game.
11:30So, Pete is...
11:32You often look for the lower popularity guys and look to build them up.
11:36Yeah.
11:37You build the stars of tomorrow, right?
11:38I build the stars of the future, yeah.
11:39Whereas I bring people in that people want to watch.
11:41So, I'm now looking for a...
11:44The stars, Luke.
11:45Yeah, well, you got...
11:46That second one was all luck, wasn't it?
11:48Yeah!
11:49Right.
11:50So, I'm now looking for...
11:51It was all Tempest, really.
11:52A woman.
11:53Uh...
11:54Class.
11:55Uh...
11:56Do-do-do-do-do-do.
11:57Which means I'm looking for a female bruiser.
12:00Heel.
12:01Uh-huh.
12:02Uh-huh.
12:03Uh-huh.
12:04I've got Rhea Ripley, Shanna...
12:05And that's it!
12:06And that's it.
12:07So, I've got Rhea Ripley or Shanny Baz.
12:08Um...
12:09Shayna did a lot for me last season, but I feel that I might...
12:13Shake things up a little bit and go with Rhea Ripley.
12:16Crazy.
12:17Wow.
12:18So, Rhea Ripley, Asuka.
12:19Okay.
12:20First big feud.
12:21Very nice.
12:22Diarrhea Ripley.
12:24I hate that so much.
12:31So much.
12:32Oh, it's not good.
12:34Um...
12:35Considering there was only other one...
12:37Heel...
12:38Bruiser...
12:39Women?
12:40Mm-hmm.
12:41Yeah, smart.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Smart, yeah.
12:44I want one of those.
12:45I actually really want to bring Piper Niven in just because I like her.
12:48Um...
12:49Baszler.
12:50Who's a...
12:51What did I say?
12:52Bruiser?
12:53Drop your ass!
12:54And...
12:55Heel.
12:56Okay.
12:57Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
12:58I'm gonna get the fight now.
12:59Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.
13:01Do the drop.
13:06Okay.
13:07Alba Fire.
13:09Cora Jade.
13:10Nikki A.S.H.
13:11Bia...
13:12That's it.
13:13It's just those three.
13:14Mm-hmm.
13:15The other thing as well that we were kind of talking about earlier is...
13:20So we've got four matches that we need to book per show.
13:23Yes.
13:24As well as three promo slots.
13:25Mm-hmm.
13:26So that's already quite a lot that you need anyway.
13:28Yes.
13:29But also, there's triple threats, there's fatal four ways, there's tag matches.
13:34Sure is.
13:35So we kind of need to really bolster out our rosters.
13:38There are nine drafts, there are nine sort of rounds.
13:41Nine compulsory picks.
13:43Yes.
13:44Yes.
13:45Okay, so...
13:46Askeria, I need a cruiser now.
13:49Cruiser Lass, who is a heel.
13:51How do I forget everything?
13:52So I could get Alexa, or I could get EO, or Shotzi.
13:58Mm-hmm.
13:59Do I get the genius, or do I get bliss?
14:05So bliss has got more stamina, and is more popular.
14:10But that's also more expensive.
14:12Yeah, she is, isn't she?
14:14Significantly.
14:15Ah, significance!
14:16Do you know what?
14:17Is it...
14:18Significance?
14:19Who cares?
14:20Pay.
14:21I'm all about it.
14:24Spend big.
14:25Obviously, Luke.
14:26It's the...
14:27That's your MO.
14:28It's the key to success.
14:29Yeah, obviously.
14:30Uh...
14:31Do...
14:32Do...
14:33Do...
14:34Do...
14:35Do...
14:36EO, Sky.
14:37Do...
14:38Do...
14:39Do...

14:44To...
14:45Do...
14:46To...
14:47Do...
14:48Do...
14:49That I had before.
14:50Oh, let's get some dudes on the next round.
14:51They're going to feud with Cody, I guess.
14:54Stupid Cody, Stupid Specialist.
14:57So last season.
14:58Yeah.
14:59We both had a issues with Nakamura.
15:01you had king nakamura oh yeah and i had or the other way around shinsuke nakamura yep and the

27:01or do i get two bruisers or two fighters or do i get like a cruiser and a giant
27:05or are they going to work better together as a tag team
27:07i mean because they're going up against specialists
27:09so it doesn't matter too much i guess in a way

27:16i don't know are they
