@@dkfcb3 Honestly, it's already a level 2 feud, if Luke books it properly, with adequate match types and perhaps in triple threats, he can pull this rivalry off really well... but he's not gonna do it, is he? come on Luke, I WANT TO BELIEVE
Even better is that it immediately went to level 2. When honestly would have been better if a feud didn't start so he could move on to the correct class matchup.
Fatal Four-ways are super useful for double feuds! Both of them can grow from one match, and they're generally better quality. We still believe in you Luke!
I think Rhea Ripley is bugged out for your whole game because her rivalries wouldn't level pass 1 even though they said they grew and she was unhappy enough to leave even though she was champion and winning. And she's still tweeting like she's still there.
This is the only show that has me sometimes yelling at the screen(HEALTH SPA ON WALTER!) lol, but I know it's easier to see the moves watching the chess match than playing it, and I love their chemistry and very unexpected booking.
I always saved those cards and did exactly what Luke has done but for wrestlemania to the cpu or friends I played against. Seeing Luke do it just made me nod and smile in approval - but he would've been better butchering Pete's WM 😂
I’m sure you guys figured it out by now but when a rivalry reaches level 4 you can only have one match before it gets stale. You can book promos with them but the moment they have a match at level 4 it will go stale unless it’s on a PLE which will end the rivalry.
Luke, if you made a triple threat between Ciampa, Higglesby and a babyface with good popularity and a matching class you'd have gotten a better match rating and the rivalry would still grow to lvl 2. Multi-Men matches are really useful if you know how and when to use them
They've made some good updates, the charity thing, triple threat/fatal fourway title matches, injury showing up when you simulate, and tag matches can grow 2 levels in one match
*L.a. Knight steps inside the squared circle with a mic in his hand and a determined look on his face.* "Now then, Baked Potato,I've got something to say to you! You think you're so great, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, kid - greatness doesn't come from just being baked! No, it takes something more! You see, tolet me tell you something, brother. You might think you're just a simple side dish, but you're about to get a lesson in the art of flavor. You see, I've tasted all kinds of food in my life, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING compares to a perfectly baked potato." *He takes a pause and looks around, his eyes burning with intensity.* "I'm talking about a crispy, golden skin that crunches under the pressure of your fork. I'm talking about a soft, fluffy interior that melts in your mouth with every bite. And don't even get me started on the toppings." *He rubs his hands together in anticipation.* "Cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, you name it. These toppings are the equivalent of a finishing move in the culinary world. And Baked Potato, you have what it takes to be a champion." *He points to the sky, his voice booming.* "So listen up, Baked Potato. Don't you ever let anyone tell you that you're just a simple side dish, because you are so much more than that. You're a main eventer, a superstar, a legend in the making. Embrace your potential and unleash your full flavor. Because when it comes to baked potatoes, there's no one better than YOU." *He drops the mic and walks out of the ring, leaving the audience in awe of his passion for a simple spud.*
Finally finished a season. Fun Fact: The loser gets to keep 4 of their stars from their draft as oppose to 3 for the winner and the loser gets the first pick which I found unfair as I won.. Those contact negotiations is how you keep the stars who say their contract is up when it says that something has already been negotiated. That means more value in this game than in 2K22. fatal Four ways can start and increase 2 rivalries. Also Xavier Woods is the best GM.
Luke's booking is so entertaining because it's so puzzling. Booking same classes against each other despite checking it several times. Focusing on getting a new feud to level 2 just before the PLE which is useless cause it cannot blow off so should've just dedicated time to it after the PLE, now they took 2 spots that could've been used for ads or to grow the Doudrop feud. Not using health spa's correctly. The list goes on. It's hilarious
Tip on match order: To get amazing booking, you need to follow drama curve. Main event should be best match, opener should be second best, second mid-card should be third best and first mid-card should be the worst match. Follow that and you get perfect drama curve as per expectations and get amazing booking. Having said that, all matches should be at least and above 2 stars.
I really hope the payperview week can bring in fans for Luke because.. man... No charity promos, no extra fans. Like dude all you had to do was hold off on building the Lacey/Asuka feud until after the payperview. Edit: now that the episode ended, I can confirm. Luke is very far behind... By 46,000 fans...
I am ok with that. He keeps leaning harder and harder on power cards to do the heavy work for him. He should know the basics, do not book two fighters against each other for example, by now.
@@lordhawkeye I'm honestly terrified that Luke will literally never win 🤣 but I am excited for next week, to see Pete's rage at all the veto's and double cost.
At this point it is just diminishing returns though. We have seen Pete be upset over power cards several times now in this season alone. It is fun the first few. Now not so much. Just more of the same. That gimmick has gone stale.
@@lordhawkeye I mean... I subbed to their Patreon for their first season. But honestly I'd be more interested in watching Sullivan and Adam play through it. And honestly that's what they really should do to spice things up. Like maybe not having new people take on the roles of Luke and Pete. But maybe the winner of Adam vs. Sullivan can be the Monday Night War losers Coach. Idk. I get what you're saying tho, it's still entertaining but. Diminishing returns can only go so far.
A really well run PLE can get near 169,000-190,000 fans so being 40k down isn't awful going into one. If the week ends and he's _still_ 40k down, thats a problem.
The fun in this series is the competition between the pair. When Pete is far in the lead he shouldn’t be allowed to repeatedly hit triple charity promos. It’s not fun to watch when you know there is zero chance Luke can catch up🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
That's weird, WCW had like 50K more fans than me and I was still #1 because I had 2 more trophies than them. Maybe it was a bug that they fixed in last month's big patch? Anyway, sorry for misleading you.
You weren't misleading. Next week Luke will be one because of that trophy it doesn't take effect until the next week. So unless Pete gets one it will show that Luke is one after next weeks episode
Just porting this comment over from the early access link of this episode. Sorry Luke but I am rooting for Pete now after popping me with the Hollow Knight line! I love that game.
I would chuck that to the moon power card on John the Fisherman and see if it works out by upping his popularity. Also if you need a go to charity promo guy under the new rules Kyle Slickman is my go to.
LUKE start filling your darn show with charity promos. Good lord every year you watch Pete fill his show with them and pull away while you try to build feuds.
Know for a fact that Sami zayn’s specialist match type is steel cage so put that in the opener or main either next week or after the ple, means the rivalry will start and you’ll get higher ratings for Sami’s match speciality
What people dont get is GM mode is just WWEs way of brainwashing fans into thinking like they do. Oh cant have a facevface or heel v heel. Sami is a cruiserweight. Owens and Zayn wouldnt have a good match cause they arent matching types. The more you book ppl in matches the more popular they get and having the title makes a superstar more popular. Its hard to get people interested in Tag Matches Indie darlings are unpopular and fans wont want to see him
TOO MANY PUPPIES! Are being shot in the dark TOO MANY PUPPIES! Are trained not to bark At the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we maintain our oil fields TOO MANY PUPPIES! TOO MANY PUuUPPIES
I’m not certain on this but I think the “performance” rating on match reports is either randomised or based on superstar morale which can be hard to notice, in my experience this can sometimes lead to matches that SHOULD have been better performing worse
*_Mindblow Moment!_* _Was Rhea in a Rivalry before she left?!_ Sidenote: I belive the HOF Trophies will update the following week. So Luke might be No.1 by default.
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEE... SO MUCH MONEY AND YET NO SPECIAL MATCH TYPES?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING LUKE!?!?!?!? So curious how this will continue/conclude.
When will they realise tag rivalries won't grow if the tag teams don't work well within themselves. Need to check the comments in show feedback to see if the teams compatible or rivivalry won't even start
So… When you click-baited the entire hell out of this video when you said, “No, seriously. It all changes.”… What you meant was, “Nothing changed, Pete is still winning and he gained even more fans.”Lol.
Episode 9, Pete wins again, nothing changed. Luke, I don't even play this game, you don't book match stipulations, you don't use logistics, you barely use bonus cards. Banking funds isn't an excuse or strategy either. At this point I think you are actively booking to lose. Probably last season I'm watching.
Pete is about to get a seizure in the next episode with all those vetos
Tune in next week to see his head explode cartoon style
pete is gonna win hands down when luke screws up this bad every week
This Pete rage moment will be up there with his Wrestlemania rage.
_But will it Rival his reaction to Roman vs Cody at Mania?_
Doesn't matter tho since he is so far ahead again.
Pete making up his own rules then deciding they don’t matter feels very Vince McMahon
This the villain origin story for Pete. From scrappy underdog in season 1 to the corrupt businessman he is now.
Wildcard rule
I always expect Luke’s talking heads to be foreshadowing for a mistake later 😂
He did… Asuka and Lacy Evans are both fighters 😂
Last week I was like "Not a fighter a bruiser Luke." lol
@@dkfcb3 Honestly, it's already a level 2 feud, if Luke books it properly, with adequate match types and perhaps in triple threats, he can pull this rivalry off really well... but he's not gonna do it, is he?
come on Luke, I WANT TO BELIEVE
I like how luke triple checks and then books 2 fighters against eachother lol
Even better is that it immediately went to level 2. When honestly would have been better if a feud didn't start so he could move on to the correct class matchup.
@Canadian Ninja hopefully he catches it an runs a submission in the mid card
Seeing that fighter vs fighter multiple times and Luke missing it is so sad to see. 😢
Fatal Four-ways are super useful for double feuds! Both of them can grow from one match, and they're generally better quality. We still believe in you Luke!
I think Rhea Ripley is bugged out for your whole game because her rivalries wouldn't level pass 1 even though they said they grew and she was unhappy enough to leave even though she was champion and winning. And she's still tweeting like she's still there.
Sounds like WWE from a few years ago. _Oi, I'm still signed right?!_
Guys, you can check the match reports to see what went wrong with your matches
I came here to say the same. Match Report is huge!!
That just makes you mad as a WWE fan. Telling you guys like Sami Zayn are a 1 star talent. and that hurt the match.
I've been commenting this since season 1.
Them being literal terrible at the game is part of the joke. This is only watchable as a hate/cringe watch for me.
It is very funny to see L.A. Knight asking for more Money, only to booked to into a Charity Promo. 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
3:25 heart crossed for pete 😂😂😂
I screamed laughing when I saw Asuka and Lacey’s alignment and fighting styles! 😂😂😂
This is the only show that has me sometimes yelling at the screen(HEALTH SPA ON WALTER!) lol, but I know it's easier to see the moves watching the chess match than playing it, and I love their chemistry and very unexpected booking.
The amount of cards luke used omg
I always saved those cards and did exactly what Luke has done but for wrestlemania to the cpu or friends I played against. Seeing Luke do it just made me nod and smile in approval - but he would've been better butchering Pete's WM 😂
Guys I don’t think y’all truly grasp the fact that EVERYTHING CHANGES
I think there's a hint that EVERYTHING will CHANGE
No, seriously though: this CHANGES EVERYTHING!
Surely, you don't mean EVERYTHING when you say EVERYTHING CHANGES.
Seriously. Seriously. Everything. Seriously. This changes everything. Everything. Seriously!
Everything changes but you. We're a thousand miles apart but you know Pete loves blue...
Luke makes it hard to root for him..
Bro he’s killing me. He needs a coach and he needs to play in his off time.
I actively wait on these every Monday without fail, these are so entertaining they should keep going and going
Next week will see some more Pete rage, curious to see who is vetoed. Can Luke claw it back from the chaos? Find out next time on Monday Night War!
Looking forward to the glorious return of Medical Bill next week
I’m sure you guys figured it out by now but when a rivalry reaches level 4 you can only have one match before it gets stale. You can book promos with them but the moment they have a match at level 4 it will go stale unless it’s on a PLE which will end the rivalry.
Punchy Pete and D.A.D. makes Mondays more tolerable. So much fun.
Luke, if you made a triple threat between Ciampa, Higglesby and a babyface with good popularity and a matching class you'd have gotten a better match rating and the rivalry would still grow to lvl 2.
Multi-Men matches are really useful if you know how and when to use them
1:55 and we are already booking?!?!? Who are these people and what have they done with Luke and Pete?
IMPOSTERS! J'ACCUSE!!!!
They've made some good updates, the charity thing, triple threat/fatal fourway title matches, injury showing up when you simulate, and tag matches can grow 2 levels in one match
Luke is like I didn’t make any plans so I don’t know what I’m gonna do this week. I don’t even know who’s in my roster… why do I keep doing bad?
The thumbnail of Luke looking happy.
“Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope”
This isn’t Luke vs Pete it’s Pete vs ridiculous randomised power cards feat. Luke
Luke...dude...I've been rooting for you since season 1, but I don't know if I can continue. You saw how OP multiple charity promos can be!
oh man... im 45 and seeing a new Video of u guys puts a smile on my face
Cant wait to see Luke find out that he used 2 promo spots only for it to be a fighter vs a fighter.,
*L.a. Knight steps inside the squared circle with a mic in his hand and a determined look on his face.*

i like how luke said he made sure his classes were fine nd proceeds to have a fighter vs fighter 🤣

Those power cards are gonna be lethal for Pete. Good luck
Did Luke just say "Wunderbar"?
Luke once again showing he's the biggest heel on Wrestletalk. Pete is the people's champ
The Hall of Fame trophy Will take a week to register so next week even of your down you'll still be ahead.
Pete’s a bit scuppered for the PPV but he did really well today that I’m not sure it’ll have that big of an impact
Oh Luke. Oh dear sweet Luke. Oh Luke... Luke... Oh Luke. LUKE!!!!! Poor, poor Luke!
Luke showing no mercy with the vetos.
Tip on match order:

@@gabrieljones3237 Oh. Thanks mate.
Ooooh Pete is gonna be maaaad...
I know we're a week behind, but guys, please use steel cage matches more! they boost feuds a ton!
Whims of Fate is my favorite song in p5! Yes to know that's part of the music list
A 10 out of 10 episode made 7 out of 10 for forcing me to remember path of pain ... Thanks for that Pete 😂
Yeah Luke, that's also how I jam out to John the Fisherman
Can't wait for next week when Pete has to book his entire PPV with local talent.
Just porting this comment over from the early access link of this episode.
Sorry Luke but I am rooting for Pete now after popping me with the Hollow Knight line! I love that game.
why dont you try watching some matches like woods and breeze do the main event of the weekly shows and maybe the main event of the PPVs
I agree. I was also, going to suggest to "sprinkle a match in" here and there.
The real friends are the grivalries we rowed along the way.
Boy oh boy. Am I tired of watching Luke piss away every week and get deeper in the hole of losing. Its hard to root for him with how much he loses
I would chuck that to the moon power card on John the Fisherman and see if it works out by upping his popularity. Also if you need a go to charity promo guy under the new rules Kyle Slickman is my go to.
The tag match wasn’t a feud so the crowd didn’t care about it, ciampa and Higgs were a feud which outshined your opener Luke.
*Watching Luke use his power cards* ...help...police...murder.
Big week for Pete. ANDY!
LUKE start filling your darn show with charity promos. Good lord every year you watch Pete fill his show with them and pull away while you try to build feuds.
Know for a fact that Sami zayn’s specialist match type is steel cage so put that in the opener or main either next week or after the ple, means the rivalry will start and you’ll get higher ratings for Sami’s match speciality
Best part of the week when these episodes drop!
LUKE OWEN GOING FOR BLOOD!!!
Pete listening to persona music and still not mentioning aria of the soul or last surprise is so weird
What people dont get is GM mode is just WWEs way of brainwashing fans into thinking like they do. Oh cant have a facevface or heel v heel.
Sami is a cruiserweight.
Owens and Zayn wouldnt have a good match cause they arent matching types.
The more you book ppl in matches the more popular they get and having the title makes a superstar more popular.
Its hard to get people interested in Tag Matches
Indie darlings are unpopular and fans wont want to see him
One of the best parts of every Monday!
I'm surprised Luke hasn't played his 'Too the moon' power card yet.
Doesn't it raise popularity by 15?
The winner is who gains the MOST GM trophies. Once you collect all 10, that brand's the winner.
They are very special 🤓 lol. They'll find out eventually, smh
Luke is killing me and we're on Pete's section now.
Luke, Lacey Evans is a fighter same class as Asuka you sign the wrong class wrestler to put into a feud with asuka.
The hall of fame trophy usually doesn't count in the week you get it. Should see the effect next week.
So frustrating watching Luke look right at his grivalries and then booking the exact opposite.
TOO MANY PUPPIES!
Are being shot in the dark
TOO MANY PUPPIES!
Are trained not to bark
At the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we maintain our oil fields
TOO MANY PUPPIES!
TOO MANY PUuUPPIES
Hopefully Luke will see this, God I love me some primus!
I’m not certain on this but I think the “performance” rating on match reports is either randomised or based on superstar morale which can be hard to notice, in my experience this can sometimes lead to matches that SHOULD have been better performing worse
Press triangle to see a match report and better understand how the grade was calculated
*_Mindblow Moment!_* _Was Rhea in a Rivalry before she left?!_ Sidenote: I belive the HOF Trophies will update the following week. So Luke might be No.1 by default.
check the match report guys. It's really useful to find out what went wrong/right.
This series is legitimately one of my favourite things on UA-cam. ❤
Luke!!! Listen to the band Escape the Paradigm!!!!
COME ON PETE!!!! YOU'RE MY WINNING HORSE!!!!!
Luke is down low rotten, P.S. the best Primus album is Tales from the Punchbowl.
20:34 that’s what she said
PETE! USE THE TOO THE MOON POWER CARD SUPER IMPORTANT DXXX
He used it on Medical bill i think
Wait, are you telling me that it ALL CHANGES
Reah Ripley trolling SmackDown after she left?? Who does she think she is, Ben Simmons??
Pete is going to wind up losing all because Luke keeps getting good cards.
Pete would have had a perfect card this week if he had Nak and Ilja in steel cage and had it go 1 to 3
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEE... SO MUCH MONEY AND YET NO SPECIAL MATCH TYPES?!?!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING LUKE!?!?!?!? So curious how this will continue/conclude.
When will they realise tag rivalries won't grow if the tag teams don't work well within themselves. Need to check the comments in show feedback to see if the teams compatible or rivivalry won't even start
So… When you click-baited the entire hell out of this video when you said, “No, seriously. It all changes.”… What you meant was, “Nothing changed, Pete is still winning and he gained even more fans.”Lol.
Clearly luke doesn't know The Gigi and Jacy are in a real feud in NXT. So buys Lacey Evans LOL
good video
Feel bad for Pete, where are his veto power cards?
Episode 9, Pete wins again, nothing changed.
Luke, I don't even play this game, you don't book match stipulations, you don't use logistics, you barely use bonus cards. Banking funds isn't an excuse or strategy either.
At this point I think you are actively booking to lose.
Probably last season I'm watching.
….They do know about the match reports that tell you exactly what went wrong right? Like I think they mentioned it but I’m not sure at this point lol.
God damn I love you guys. Cheers
I can't wait for the free wrestlers and the dlcs!!! Mia Yim is coming soon
New episode of of Monday Night War yes please
LETS GO TEAM PETE!
